AN 1STONISHING RECORD.

| One of the most prominent negroes in
 the country has recently declared that never since they were emancipated have the negroes been in such discouraging
 situation as they are in to-day. There is some ground for this declaration, but the fact remains that the negroes have made astonishing progress since their emancipation. Some account of this progress is given by Bishop Alexander Waters He makes the rather surpris- ing statement that 45 per cent. of the H. literacy of the negro race in the United States has been eliminated since the date of the emancipation It is stated, further, that the negroes have raised for educational purposes since the same era the sum of 13,065, ,OOO; they have ac- cumulated in church property s4O,OO0,- 900, in school property $15,OOO00O. They have 150,000 farms, valued at s325 00O, ,000, with personal property worth 65,OO0,- 000 There are now 25o.0OO negro chil- dren in the public schools, 45,O0O in higher institutions, 30,OOO learning trades, and 35,000 who are engaged in teaching.
 This Is certainly great and good work. Perhaps the negroes would be better situated than they are now if they had n't been given the suffrage so suddenly and completely It is being taken away from them now, but if they wait and work they will come out all right

-iS U-IL.

| Four years ago some of the notional
 people of Boston got notion that the
 city could profitably do it's own print
 ing. So the city set up a print shop at a cost of $30,000. So far the plant has
 cost $63, ,034, and it is figured that there has been a loss of SS,517 in the opera tion of the plant. Why there has been
 loss is plainly set forth by an expert
 who has been hired by the city to look
 into the matter. He finds that fifteen to twenty per cent. of the expenses of
 the department would be saved if the
 pressure of political influence in favor of applicants for positions were wholly
 removed, and the superintendent left
 entirely free to run his department as a
 private business is carried on, appoint
 ing experienced and capable employees
 only, and purchasing his materials
 wherever they can be bought at the
 lowest prices The expert further says
 that if it is decided to continue the op- eration of the plant for another year the results should be watched carefully. During this time the expenses should
 be markedly reduced, and the charges for printing to the departments should be made SO far as possible, upon the exact basis of outside printers charges for the same work (without allowance for the extra labor required by shorter hours at the plant). Then the actual deficiency which the municipal plant causes can be correctly understood and plant run as a business solely for the I benefit of the city as whole there is no doubt in the experts mind that all expenses can be paid, the cost to de- | partments reduced and a profit shown | by the plant sufficient to pay the inter- est upon its capital and accumulate a surplus or sinking fund sufficient to ul- l reimburse the city for the cap- ital expenditures in the plant Such I result will require marked ability and l in the management, and due forbearance On the part of all oth- CTS from interference with the business of the city's printing.
 Of course. The desired result will re- luire just what can't be had. A politi- ,al print shop can't be conducted on a business basis.

Literary Appellations-The Value of
 Their Length and Breadth.
 Names arc something more than mere labels and appellations; they are veritable things" says Joel Benton, in the Junior Munsey. Certain names are poetic and inspiring; certain others are soporific and leaden. Could it be possible to imagine that a maiden named Patience or Thankful would be otherwise than plain or homely?
 "The Puritan nomenclature, whether Biblical or in secular hyphenated phrases, of which there are such start ling examples, was largely of the de- pressing variety. To name a child 'Barebones' or 'Ebenezer' seems almost as if it would foreclose fame and for tune against him. It is true that per- son of real force and genius can over- ride great obstacles. But why compel him to do so?

 day for Kansas. Though only twenty
 nine years old, and small and brown, Aguinaldo has been as annoying to the great United States as a flea to a St Bernard dog, and as hard to nip. He is nipped now and he will stay nipped unless somebody is more careless than somebody ought to be.
 What to do with our prize is now the question. It has been suggested that he be shot, imprisoned for life, sent to Guam, given an office and spanked with a shingle. The latter suggestion was made by Secretary Long. It is already evident that there is no disposition at Washington to make martyr of him, or even to punish him severely for his cruelty and treachery. He has been lucky hitherto, and the indications are that his luck isn't going to entirely desert him now Perhaps We shall yet have him in this country as a lecturer He has cost us much but perhaps he isn't yet satis- fled.

TRAITS OF THE MEXICAN INDI-

ANS.
 It is wonderful blend of races that is to make the Mexican population of
 the future; one sees Maya men of edu-
 cation with wives of the old blonde
 Gothic-Spanish type. Tarascans mar ried with Spaniards, and all degrees of
 Aztec admixture, while in Oaxca one
 notes the Zapotecan strain. There is
 great hope for the Indian peoples of
 Mexico; they are, for the most part,
 clean of blood, with nervous force which makes them, on being educated go far Many eminent men here are of mixed blood and it is worthy of note
 that the Indian blood gives gravity, | mental boise and great will power. The Indian is loyal, good friend, g tremendous enemy, and sometimes none
 too enamored of the ideas of the white race. Down deep In his heart is some thing aboriginal intense and sound. I have heard educated Indians talking in all confidence, express the hope that an
 Indian Mexico may some day take the
 place of the Spanish Mexico.
 We have lost something in the United
 States by holding the Indian at arms
 length socially. Indian blood is good
 blood, and renovates ythe white race
 You get good brains In the Indian be- cause they are not vitiated, and are not too far removed from that strong old life that nature prefers, and in which she eliminates weddings. Had the German philosopher, Nietsche, visited Mexico he would have found some types of his "over- man." his naturally supe- rior being among the Indians. Nature is rough nurse, but she makes men and women who delight in living, and who live long. Our urban civilization, and daintiness and comforts, destroy real manhood and wonanhood, and SO do flourish dentists, doctors, faddists and milk and water reformers.
 Nothing but the sun and air, the free life of nature, produces the best in physique and in character. The Indi- ans grow up sans edodling, and their strength of body is equalled by their vigor of mentality. It is great thing not to be nervous, to breathe deep, to have plenty of quick moving blood.

is preferred. however, if the price war. rants it. Of the different kinds of sand | the cleanest is the most suitable, but . small alloy of clay is not objectionable
 In fact, 1t can be said that all kinds of sand suitable for building purposes or for the preparation of mortar may be
 used. The proportions are from to parts of lime to 94 to 9G parts of sand, the small variation depending on the
 quality of the sand. After pulverlzing
 the lime ill a ball grinder both sub stances are mechanically measured and then thoroughly mixed by machinery, This mixture is then pressed into stones, which are aftarward piled on flat cars and pushed into g cylindrical boiler. The boiler Is then llernetically closed and steam turned on at from eight to nine atmospheres In about ten hours the process of hardening is finished and the stones are ready for use. From various sources it is learn ed that the net cost for LOGO stones ranges from s2.25 to $a. but does not cx- ceed the latter sum. To manufacture 1000 stones 9S4 by 46.6 by 256 inches there are required besides the sand one workman. 450 pounds of lime, 200 pounds of coal and about 10 cents worth of grease and oil

 One woman fer example, bought a Paris Hat. a creation of white straw and pale fady-wady roses, with an under brim of threads of gold, and dAsa of golden brown velvet on the outside. That was
 $3e. Then she bought oac q our own Hats. gem. masses of foliage with bis of turquoise blue. showing through, and here and there showing of warm pink roses. That was $I2.
 Finally she set Ter heart on a very stylish black Chiffon Hat. sort of Charlotte Corday affair with very high crown and rolling brim, done in French grey and dull pink roses. for early Spring wear. That was S5. Ever so many people bought ex- actly as did this woman.
