The Freedman's bank Balance.

To the Editor Of The Evening STAR
1t is proposed to give out and out to How
ard University, an institution of one of the
most liberal of the religious denominations,
but still a denomination. the entire Freed
mans Bank balance. The Congregational
lists have since the war spent very large
sums on the education of the colored race
especially on their higher education Other
bodies have joined them in this. 1t has, in
my judgment, been a great mistake. For
fifty years and more the best white institu-
tions of the north have been open to col
ored students of ability and promise. The
most able colored preachers of Washington
are graduates of Harvard and Princeton
But this is not the education that the mass
of colored people need. Their need is a
good primary and industrial education
not Latin, Greek, Hebrew. psychology and
the higher mathematics. Hundreds Of
thousands of dollars have been wasted in
this kind of education. If Congress really
wants to do, as no doubt it does, the best
thing possible for the negro race with the
balance in the Freedman's Bank why
should not the money be placed under
the control Of the board of education of
the District, to be used for the industrial
educat ton of the race? If there should be
use be made Of the fund than to give it.

no controversy with Howard farther than

"higher euducation,' but it already draws
heavily from the public treasury, and be-
lieve the fund in question can be made
vastly more useful to the colored people by
giving it another direction. That is all my
interest In the matter. c.

Opium and Frog-Eye-Juloe.

I see that somebody has stirred the
sleeping lion in my old friend DIR. w.
H. Park. Park is a quiet, dignified
man, with lots of reserve force. He is
a fellow townsman of Jud Clements,

roads village Of the ambitious name
Of Lafayette, in the northwest corner
of Georgia, right down on the tail end
of the Blue Ridge Mountains. When
Park cut his eye teeth in medicine the
Methodist Episcopal church south sent
him to take charge of the Snochow
hospital, where he mingled with the
opium smokers and studied their hab-
it's, bought cocaine at $432 an ounce
and investigated the wonderful Chi
nese anaesthetic, frog-eye juice. Co.
caine costs today about $5.75 an ounce,
and frog-eye juice s2.25. If Park does
not know opium and its effects hard

Tourist Postal Cards.

Tourist postal cards are extremely
popular on the continent of Europe.
On this side the water the people seem
to be too busy to think about them,
but in Germany no city or hamlet, no
place of historical interest is without
these cards embellished with some de-
sign appropriate to the locality, which
offer convenient means of commune
cation with friends at home. Last
sumIs.er, according to the German
postonice returns. over 10000, 900 cards
were mailed in one week. Forty-six
per cent were tourists cards. The
postage collected daily on these cards
was more than $4,000. Berlin fur
nished the largest quota-137 900
cards. Next followed Dresden, then
Hamburg, Cologne. Leipzig. Breslau,
Frankfort, Hanover. Halle, Dussel-

Torture STATIONS.

Speaking of capital punishment, q
writer in the American Journal OF
Sociology declares that the killing of
criminals does not benefit society.
while life imprisonment merely lays,
an extra burden on the public. BY
way OF making the punishment for
murder fit the crime he urges that
every condemned murderer should be
turned over to the doctors to be ex-
perimented upon until he dies. In sup
port of this proposition the writer
makes long and serious argument.
Among other things, he shows how
many hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie are dying annually of diseases
which might be cured If the scientists
had a human experiment station
where they could try all sorts Of pro-
posed remedies. 1t does not answer
the purpose to try new medicine upon
animals, and the idea of being expert.
mented upon is not popular amons
patients. Here is the opportunity
says the writer, for making the CON
demned murderer repay part OF the
debt that he owes to society. Let him
be experimental upon with new se-
runs and potions' until he dies.

Apple Water for 1nvallds.

Apple water is a refreshing drink
for an invalid. 1t can be made with
either baked or raw apples, the former
to be preferred when haste is wished,
that is, If the apples are baked and in
readiness. They should be sour, and
when cooked should be immersed in
boiling water to cover them. Let
stand until cool, strain and sweeten
to taste. For that made from raw
apples, three or four juicy sour apples
of fine flavor should be pared and
sliced. Pour over two cupfuls Of boil
ing water and let stand three hours.
Strain, sweeten and add a small piece
of ice. A pleasant flavor is added If
the rind Of lemon is mixed with the
slices of apple.-New York Evening
Post.

Betting and Oranges.

A favorite way of betting in China
is with oranges. This goes on at the
fruit stalls and also in private houses.
The bet is on the number of seeds in
an orange. Sometimes 1t is as to
whether the number is odd or even
and at others as to the exact number
of seeds the orange contains. II at a
fruit stand the dealer will pay the
lucky guesser five times his debt. but
the loser must pay the value of the
orange and also five times as much
as he has wagered. Quail-fghtins
and cricket combats are also sources
of great interest to the oriental SPORT
ing fraternities.

WHY THE BOILER BURSTS.
Scientific Explanation OF Some Pheno mena
of tho KIfclan

Scientific Explana ton OF Some Phenomena
of the Kitchen.
When you hear the kitchen boiler
cracking their is no cause for alarm,
There is a prevailing impression that
the cracking is. produced by steam
and that there is, therefore, an in
creased pressure on the boiler at such
times. But this is an error. II the
boiler is in good condition, with the
water turned on as usual. so that the
boiler is kept filled, the only pres
sure that it is subjected to is the same
as that insthe water pipes, from which,
of course, there never is the slightest
danger. And this is true, no matter
how hot the water in the boiler may
be. The reason is very simple. AS
long as the boiler is kept full of wa
ter there is no room for steam. If you
open the hot-water cock the water
pours out and steam rises from it be-
cause it then has chance to escape
into the air. In other words rapid
evaporation takes place. But as the
hot water pours out water from the
pipes PUSHES in to take its place, and
thus the boiler is kept full. The
cracking noise referred to is heard
when the water is unusually hot, and
is nothing but the expansion of the
boiler under the influence of that heat
1t is in no degree an indication of dan
ger, unless, indeed, the boiler is worn
out or defective, which is a matter
entirely outside of what we are now
considering. When kitchen boiler
explodes it is generally because fire
has been kindled in the range while
the boiler was empty. It happens
sometimes when people come back to
town after spending the summer away.
The fire heats the boiler, Of course,
and when the water is turned on it is
converted suddenly and violently into
steam. and the boiler cannot stand the
enormous pressure. Fortunately, few
persons are thoughtless enough or
silly enough to build fire before
opening the cocks connecting the boil
er with the water pipes.

; Prof. Gustave Bischof of the Glas-
cow university has invented a new
process for the manufacture of white
lead. His plan is the conversion of
metallic lead into litharge, by means
of water gas at a temperature of 300
degrees centigrade, to suboxide. Stuff
cient water is then added to moisten
this suboxide, which is converted into
hydrate. This substance is eninserted
into gas-tight apparatus, and by
means Of carbonic and diluted acetic
acid manufactured into white lead.
Under the old process white lead oc-
cupied from two to three months in
its manufacture, but Prof Bischof is
enabled to make purer article within
less than forty-eight hours at a much
cheaper price and with perfect safety
to the employees.
