presented to several thousand
people, who could not have other
wise been reached.
The interest during the second
days program seemed to center
on the much talked over "color
question:" and the resolution, COM
mittee Mesdames j. Carhart,
G. M. Farland and H, G. Hagen,
introduced the following: Res
olved, That the agitation OF the
color question, by the Federated
Women's Clubs is unnecessary
and unfortunate and that both the

atlons are requested to withdraw
their respective propositions to
re-organize the General FEEDER

ject.

present and called to the stand.
She defended the National Exec
utive Board at, Milwaukee against
the criticism implied by Massa-
,chusetts, saying it was the first
duty Of any committee to pre-.
serve the integrity and harmony
of the organization. The action
of the board at Milwaukee pre-
ventedlat the time any ill iadvis-
ed sectional action and seemed
the only solution to the problem,
as time and knowledge. have
proven. Mrs. Williams, continu-
ing, said: The colored women

ORINOCO DELTA NAVlCABLE.
Most Important Highway Between Bo-
 gota and European Ports.

4 dispatch from Caracas says Fene zuela has declared all the mouths of the Orinoco delta open to international navigation About 50 arms of the river flow directly seaward. but only seven of them are accessible to large vessels The delta branch which IS most freQuented by steamers is the Macareo. which flows to the coast op- posite the island Of Trinidad, and of fers direct inland navigation from Ciudad Bolivar, far up the Orinoc1, to Port of Spain, the fourishing port of Trinidad The most important branch of le upper Orinoco is the Meta river, which rises on the eastern slope of the lofty plateau on which Bogota stands and is navigabIe for most of it's course by vessels drawing several feet of water It presents, with the Orinoc0, the shortest route between the great central plateau of Colombia and the Atlantic seaboard Tn other words, it helps t0 make nayigable waterway from the Andes 10 Europe and is re- garded as the great coming highway between Bogota and European ports Among =t.e Gsiaoeo delta streams are the rich lau conceded by the Eene- zuelan government to the Orfnoce comPa ', limited, an American con- eefn. whose concess on, according to reports from Caracas. has been revok- ed on account of it's alleged failure 10 fulfill its contract. Some towns in the delta appear to have fourishing future. Among them is Santa Cata- lima. where the Orinoeo company has its headquarters. and whence it ship ped q good deal af baIata. now used as q substitute TOT rubber Maj. Stanley Paterson of England, who in fS4S. made an extensive journey up the Orinoco valley says this valley will some day develop into one of the richest commercial alregions of the west ern world Countless herds of cattle and horses may be raised there The forests yield large quantities of nat ural products. such as rubber, quinine and other drugs. and some traces nj gold and otLer metals have been dis covered. It remains to be seen how far the act of the Venezuelan govern ment in maFing the Orinoeo more ac- cessible to Il 2 ships of all nations will facilitate the development of this great valley.

THUM BIN ALL s.
Length or F1atness Helps Palmi,t to
 Read Character.

According to European palmist the average length of the thumb nail is. in the case of a man, 165 millimetres. and those men whose nails are longer than this always possess unusual viril- lty. Women, on the other hand whose thumb nails are of abnormal length are as a rule very fond of pleasure and have pronounced artistic tastes. Emperor William of Germany, says this palmist, has very delicate hand, yet the thumb is too short and the nall is fiat and colorless- a sure indication, in his opinion, of some cerebral weak. ness. The Emperor of Austria, on the other hand, has a thumb nail which in dicates high birth and aristocratic tastes. It is pearly white and unusual ly curved, and is in marked contrast 10 his hand, which is coarse and rather vulgar The new King of Italy has a spatulate thumb nail, which is said te be an indication of distrust and feroc- ity. The Sultan of Turkeys hand is white and slender and bears tokens of high breeding. King Leopold of Bel gium has the thumb of plebeian, the nail being short and square Queen Victoria differs from all other rulers in the fact that the thumbs of her two hands are quite unlike each other. This is said to be an unfailing indica- tion of shrewdness and also of long life The young Queen of Holland has a strong but rather commonplace hend, the nails being short and of a vulgar type, but, on the other hand, the Queen of Italy has an admirable hand, the only marked defect being in the nails of the little fingers, which are some what too conical and too much curved at tha ends.

Cage faT#=.soners.

Though there are still many par ishes In En. and where the remains of village stocks may be seen, 1t is doubtful whether there exis.s any where else two such relics of oEd-time punishments as those which stand side by side near the churehyard of Roydon, Essex. Not only can this village boast of it's ancient stocks, but the old prisoners cage or lookup still remains intact with the exception of the changes which time has wrought upon it's woodwork. Two massive iron bars with large padlocks still guard the doors or this old structure. and though of course it is many years since any prisoner was confined therein, the owners of the property are very jealous that the relics should be preserved, and needless to say, many strangers who find their way to Roydon are greatly interested in these local an. tiquities.

Circulation of the Blood.

The mileage of the blood circulation reveals some astonishing facts in our personal history. Thus it has been cal eulated that assuming the heart to beat sixty-nine times a minute at or dinary heart pressure, the blood goes at the rate Of POT yards in the minute, or seven miles per hour, 168 miles per day. and 61320 miles per year If a man of S4 years of age could have one single blood corpuscle floating in his hood all his life, it would have tray- e!ed h that same time 5.150830 miles

Ordination of a Priest.

A missionary in China thus des- cribes the ordination ceremony Of bonze (priest of which he was a wit ness; 'On the appointed day the friends and invited guests of the can didates assemble in the pagoda where the ceremony is to take place. The act of consecration begins with the remov- al of all the hair from the head by a close shave. Then, as the ceremony progresses, little balls made of sul- phur, grease and incense are placed upon the lead and so fastened as not to roll off. At the proper moment the superior completes the act of consecra- ton by setting fire to these balls. The candidates are forbidden either to move or touch their burning heads. Some of the poor wretches suffer this torture stoically. invoking Buddha, while the majority add their terrible shrieks of pain to the horrible smell of burning flesh"
