HONOR DUE THE PEN.
This Instance Goes to show That SS the Matter of Hero Worship
 the Sword Gets It.

Julian Ralph is so widely known as newspaper correspondent, and is 50 popular as man both in and out of bis profession. says the Philadelphia Pub lie Ledger, that the news from London that he has returned from the scene of the Transvaal war almost a physical wreck, with such injuries to one of his legs thatamputation may be necessary, causes distress 10 all his friends in this city, where he lived so long and did such splendid work. The humorous way in which MT. Ralph describes his injuries and sufferings is characteristic of the man. Surely he is of the stuff of which heroes are made.
 If he had been a soldier he would re- turn home to have laurel wreaths put on his brow and his breast loaded with medals and ribbons, but he Is only a newspaper man, and the sacrifice he has made to the stern duties of his hard and exacting profession does not gain the popular applause which is the re- ward of the soldier. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but when 1t comes to hero worship the sword 1ets it every time.

CAREFUL OF THEIR VOICES.
Famous Public singers Forego Many PleasureS for the Sake of
 Their Art.

Adelina Patti has led life of self denial for the sake of her voice. As young girl she never had any of the pleasures which fall to others, says the Chicago Chronicle. Parties, dancing and fun of every kind were denied her, Her father and her brother-in-.aw, M. Strakosch, who was also her impresa- rio, were in constant fear that she would fatigue her voice. One can i'm agine how bright and lovely a child Patti was, how eager her delight in in- nocnt pleasure, yet pleasure had to be foregcne. As to girlish firtations. un. til she married the marquis de Caux at 24 the little diva had been keys al. most like a nun at home and knew ab. solutely nothing of the world. The pleasures of the table were not for her. She used to eat only plainly cooked meat and toast, so that even the slight. est indigestion would not impair the clearness of Ter voice.
 On ordinary days, when Patti has to sing in opera at night, she dimes of beef and potatoes and baked apples at about S:30 p. m., for beef is said to give force and apples smoothness to the voice. After dinner the prima donna lasts until she sings, taking be- tween the acts of an opera homeopath- ic doses of phosphorus and capsicum. both of which are beneficial to the throat. If tired cup of bouillon is pre- pared for her.
 Patti never speaks word on the days when she has to sing. Nor does Mime. Albani, who otherwise takes less care of her voice than the diva and fears only indigestib.e food, salmon, nuts and such like. Both declare they never even Hook" at tea, which hard- ems the vocal chords. Between the parts of concert or opera Albani drinks glass of claret. She believes i'm. p!icitly in the virtues of cold bath.
 Melba says: T eat anything, tS,L all day and my voice is never affected" But. then, Melba's voice and her whole physique are singu,arly strong and her nerves are of the steadiest.

He scarcely ever goes into society nowadays, restricts him. self as to dict and pins his faith to bicycling. Nothing. he firmly believes, is so beneficial to the vocal chords as 70 take a quiet morning spin in fresh country air.
 Sims Reeves, throughout his whole professional career. was sedulous in nursing his voice. Before singing he always sucked lozenge, in which he much believed; it was nome made"-- of g.ycerine, lemon juice and gum arabic. Jenny Lind avoided fatigue of all kinds, and whenever she had to sing she partook at intervals during the day of soup. prepared with chicken broth, cream and barley, which was supposed to be softening to fhA vNine

Carrier Pigeons in England.

Englishmen in all quarters of the is- land are training carrier pigeons for the purpose of systematic transmits. sion of messages. Al the Crystal pal ace pigeon post has been established, and 1t is said to be working perfectly. Numerous clubs have sprung up. which carry on regular communication with :ontinenta. points by means of these ''postmen of the air" It is thought that England's trained pigeons will be immensely valuable to the country In the event of war. Ii Is recalled that one of Lord Rothschild's pigeons brought 10 England the first news of the battle of Waterloo, and that large use was made of such birds during the siege of Paris,

this way ii is possible TO ascertain with
fair degree of accuracy just what the
actual expense is of providing south
ern negro man with what he considers
three square meals day.
In the months of May and June, 1897,
l2 of these studies were conducted
among the negroes of Franklin coun-
ty, Va. The IL families were scattered
over a large area, covering a radius of
some IS miles, bordering on The Dismal
swamp. The Investigators say that
among these families they found the
general conditions existing among the
negro families of that portion OF Nir-
ginia well illustrated, and that the re-
suit of the studies may he taken as a
fair average for the remainder of the
families in the district.
In tbs portion of Virginia the land
is low and swampy; the houses are
small, rarely consisting of more than
two rooms, and constructed of boards
IN the simplest and crudest manner.
The negroes obtain their living from
the soil, practically all of them renting
"one-mule farm" for which they pay
either a percentage of their crop or
a small cash consideration. On what
is left after the rent has been paid,
together with the cash secured by the
performance Of few odd jobs for their
more prosperous white neighbors, the
families live. The farms are not of the
best, and consist of but few acres.
OF the diet upon which these people
live the report of the investigation TO
the agricultural department says:
"As among the negroes of Alabama,
hog and hominy' literally form the
larger part of the diet. Side bacon is
the principal meat, and, with some fish
and little milk, formed the major por-
tion Of the animal food. Large guam

MOUTH IN QUEER PLACE.


No doubt the shark 5 mouth is placed
so much beneath the projecting muz-
z,e, under which also the nostrhs lie,
that it may serve its proper purpose
In the best way. In ali records of the
habits OF the fish, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, we are told that it can and
does bite out large chunks OF flesh
from the dead bodies of whales and
even from living victims of its attack;
and il is easily seen that if its mouth
was like that of other fishes the nee
essNry average would be lacking, a
further reason seems to be that the
shark by this peculiar position of its
mouth is compelled 10 turn upon its
back to strike and is thus able to de-
liver its onset. from below with more
deadly effect, This formidable
strength of jaw is backed up by a
most terrible array Uf teeth, of which
in some species there are as many as
six rows all round Each tooth is saw
edged and pointed, and some Of the
largest are as much as two inches in
breadth nt their base. These lie fiat
against the Jaws and can be raised by
separate muscles at win, so that, as
the shark darts upon its prey, they
sping on end. as n cats claws are stuck
ont from its paws. This arrangement
will not allow anything once boIted to

The average expenditure per man per
day of the seven families included in
this system OF studies, representing
all elements of the negro population of
the county, was about IA cents.
These figures of expenditures of the
negro families of Virginia are of in
terest when studied with like figures
from other sections of the country, and
among other people. In Franklin coun-
ty, Va, the average expenditure per
day per man for food, estimated from
studies In l2 families, is nine and one
half cents each; in Elizabeth City,
county of the same state, estimated
from studies OF seven negro families,
the expenditure is IA cents per man per
days in Alabama, estimated from a
study of 20 negro families, the average
expenditure per man per day is but
eight cents; of Mexicans the south
western states in this country, esti-
mated from a study OF four families in
New Mexico, the average expenditure
per man per day is eight cents; among
mechanics, estimated from studies OF
"A families representing different In
dustries and located in different por.
lions of the country, the average ex-
penditure per man per day is 10 cents;
among professional men. estimated
from studies OF IA families represent
ing different professions and residing
in different portions of the country, the
average expenditure per man per day
is 2S cents.
Among the negro families OF Ala
hama it has been found that 1t is pos
sibie TO sustain life and health by an
expenditure for food OF but three cents
per day per man, and In some OF The

The cost Is rs small. and in rare cases
