How the little grass blades grow
How the pretty garden pinks
Get their notches and their kinks.
How the morning glories run
Up to meet the early sun:
How the sweet peas in their bed
Find the purple. white and red;
How the blossom treasures up
Drops Of honey in its cup;
How the honey bee can tell

Why the jays swift wing is blue

I wonder if the grown folks know
How and why these things are SO.

madam" he asked. "It certainly does"
replied the lady. "Then, madam" re-
torted Roderick, with another flourish,
II do not die in vain" The answer so
captivated the sensibilities of the lady
that she made an immediate appeal for
clemency to the reigning monarch,
George H., and Mr.. Lang declares that
he saw the rebels pardon, beautifully

home with me last night, and after
getting outside of about half of it,

WHERE COLOR LINE FAILED.
An Incident In the Life Of Professor
Booker t. Washington.


On one occasion when was making
a trip from Augusta, Ca, to Atlanta,
being rather tired from much travel,
I rode in Pullman sleeper. When l
went into the car / found there two
ladies from Boston whom / knew we'll.
These good ladies' were perfectly ig-
norant, 1t seems. of the customs of the
South, and in the goodness Of their
hearts insisted that take seat with
them in their section. After some hes
itation / consented. / had been there
but few minutes when one Of them.
without my knowledge. ordered sup
per to be served to the three of us.
This embarrassed me still further. The
car was full of southern white men,
most of whom had their eyes on our
party. When found that supper had
been ordered, l tried to contrive some
excuse that would permit me to leave
the section, but the ladies insisted that
/ must eat with them. I finally settled
back in my seat with sigh, and said
to myself, 81 am in for 1t now, sure"
To add further to the embarrassment
of the situation, soon after the supper
was placed on the table one of the
ladies remembered that she had in her
satchel special kind of tea which she
wished served, and as she said she felt
quite sure the porter did not know how
to brew it properly she insisted upon
getting up and preparing and serving
1t herself. At last the meal was over
and 1t seemed the longest one that
had ever eaten. When we were through
I got myself out of the embarrassing
situation and went into the smoking
room, where most of the men were by
that time. In the meantime, however,
1t had become known throughout the
car who was, and I was never more
surprised in my life than when each
man-nearly every one of them a citi-
zen of Georgia-came up and intro
duced himself to me, and thanked me
earnestly for the work that was try
ing to do for the whole South. This
was not fattery, because each one OF
these individuals knew that he had
nothing to gain by trying to fiatter me.

Washington Has Done.

Something About the Work Booker
Warrington Has Done.
Booker T. Washington Is carrying
tical benefit to the white men of the
South than any other work which has
yet been undertaken along the same
line. He is solving the race problem
by n practical plan. The southern peo-
pie admit that they need the negro.
He is there among them because he
serves a purpose, and II he is to be
there he must be made industrious
and self-reliant, and all educational
experts agree that 1t Is precisely these
qualities which are being instilled IN
to young negro men and women at the
Tuskegee institute. Its value is In
contestable. and under Mr.. Washing
tons direction 1t has become the fore
most influence in the South for i'm
proving the negro character by prac-
tical education. The head of the school
has built up by the force Of his own
personality, having secured general
recognition for his work in philan-
thropic and educational circles in this
country and Europe. President Nc
Kinley once visited his school. clasped
his hand, and stood at his elbow. He
was for days the guest of the Atlanta
fair in the capital Of Georgia, where
he delivered an address which made
him famous the world over. He has
received degree from Harvard uni
versity, which is not lavish of such
honors. He is an earnest, honorable,
upright man of rare attainments and
exceptional ability. in every manly at
tribute the superior of hundreds Of
men in public life. Mr.. Roosevelt is
President not of a party. or section,
or of any race or sect, but Of all the
people of the nation, of every color
and condition. We assume that the
President did not entertain Booker
Washington to recognize him as his
social equal, but merely as the chief
executive to pay tribute to genius.
which SO glows in this man of lowly
origin that its rays have penetrated to
all civilized peoples of the world

The Grave of Colu mbus.

Christopher Columbus, the discoverer
Of America. died at Valladolid, Spain,
May 20, 1906. and was buried there; but
in 1913 his remains were removed to
Seville, whence, in 1886. with those of
his son Diego, they were taken to
Santo Domingo. in Hispaniola, now
commonly known as the Island of Hay
ii. In 1896 they were, it is stated,
transferred to the Cathedral at Ha-
vana; but there is some reason to be-
lieve that by mistake 1t was the bones
Of the son Diego and not those of his
father which were removed on that
occasion. At present both Havana
and Santa Domingo claim his ashes as
their treasure.

Gladstone on John Bright.

After dinner, says the Hon. Mrs.
Goodheart in the Nineteenth Century,
Mr.. Gladstone talked of John Bright.
John Bright never was a political
economist. He took free trade on Its
humanitarian side, but never had a
very thorough grasp of its arguments.
Golden was the man Of luminous
mind who supplied the argumentative
support. He set free trade upon its
legs. 1t was a strange combination.
Golden inspired Bright with a mix
ture of reverence and affection.
never saw such a pathetic sight as
Bright at Cobden's grace, never. His
whole frame seemed loosened; 1t was
almost as II he would fall into the
grave. 1t was friendship which did
Bright the greatest possible honor. He
was a very true man. And he made
an excellent cabinet minister" (this
was repeated more than once). "He
had the power, which half the men
who became cabinet ministers do not
possess, of throwing his'mind into the
common stock. He never made trivial
objections of detail, but reserved his
criticism for points where principle
was involved" In answer to a Ques-
ton whether he had difficulty In max
ing him Join the cabinet, Mr.. Glad
stone said: "It took me from IL O'Clock
to 1 one night to persuade him; but
once in, he was excellent, as loyal az
possible-No thought Of self-seeking.'

HOW THE CHINESE GET RAIN.
Peculiar Practices In Vogue In the

KA0UllRr ffACtiCob IA voBuo So
Celestial Kingdom.
It is one of the peculiarities of the
Chinese that, while they have develop
ed elaborate PHILOSOPHERS, none OF
them has led to any confidence in the
uniformity of nature. Neither the
people nor their rulers have any fixed
opinion as to the causes Of rainfall.
The plan in some provinces when the
need of rain is felt Is to borrow god
from a neighboring district and petit
tion him for the desired result. II his
answer is unsatisfactory he is returned
to his home with every mark Of
honor; otherwise he may be put out in
the sun, as a hint to wake up and
do his duty. A bunch Of willow is
usually thrust into his hand as will be
sensitive to moisture. Another plan
in extensive use Is the building OF
special temples in which are wells con-
tanning several iron tablets. When
there is a scarcity of rain messenger
starts out with a tablet, marked with
the date of the journey and the name
of the district making the petition.
Arriving at another city he pays a
sum of money and is allowed to draw
a new tablet from the we'll, throwing
in his own by way Of exchange. On
the return journey he is supposed to
eat only bran and travel at top speed
day and night. Prayers are usually
made in the fifth and sixth months
when the rainfall is always due. and a
limit of ten days is set for their effec-
.ol~
rain usually falls during the pre-
scribed time. When prayers are in
progress the umbrella, among other
objects, comes under the ban. In some
provinces foreigners are mobbed for
carrying this harmless article at that
time.-Detroit Free Press.
