THE LOOM OF LIFE.

By Elam Christian. The Persian weaver sits at his loom From mornings first light till evenings
 gloom,
 Adorning his work with face Angelic, and beaming with grace; Toiling faithfully, yet seeing not What his delft hands have patiently
 wrought Inserting threads of azure blue. Mingling the shades with artistic skill Each in it's particular place to fill;
 Sometimes cheerfully,
 Sometimes tearfully, Always faithfully toiling on Until the task he loves is done. Then he beholds in his work complete His ideal face, angelic sweet
 And joy abounds. The Christian worker bends to his task, Seeks face in its mystery mask, Adorning his work with love That's given from heaven above; Polling faithfully, trusting his Lord. Giving the world the light of his word Weaving in ever words of cheer For hearts that droop with doubt and
 fear; By doing only his Masters will--s
 Always carefully,
 Always prayerfully, Ever faithfully toiling on Until his work of love is done. Then he beholds his Savior's face A blood-washed. sinner. saved by grace
 And joy bounds.

SEA WAVES MEASURING 45 FEET

From the Newcastle Journal.
 Some interesting details as to the height of waves recorded on the east coast of Scotland have just been communicated to the. Institution of Civil Engineers by MT. William Shield. the engineer at the Peterhead harbor works, where the rec ords were taken During a storm from the southeast, veering to east-southeast, the velocity of the wind rose from 57 to 80 miles per hour within the thirty-six hours. The waves, carefully measured by instruments, were found to be ir- regular both asp to height and length, but wave after wave passed, having it's crest quite unbroken, fully % feet 6 inches above the saltwater level. Assuming the troughs to be as far below the still water level as their crest was above 1t, the height of the waves would thus be 45 feet.

NEGROES PAYING FOR EDUCATION

From the Boston Herald.
 At the annual conference which has lately been held at Atlanta University. the sessions were devoted to a consid- eration of the condition and needs of the negro public schools, and an attempt was made to estimate the extent to which negroes pay for their public schools. In Georgia negroes own per cent of the property and per cent of the school tax on property-that is, S26,347. They pay in addition poll tax of $S9,000. which goes to support public schools. If they were credited with their proportion of the indirect taxation which goes to support of the schools, the bal ance sheet would show, it was said, that for the year 1900 the negroes of the pub lie school system S292, ,168.S7. The total cost of negro schools in Georgia was .$268, 128. If these statistics are trust worthy, the statement frequently made that the negro schools are maintained by the taxation of the white citizenship can have no just weight in argument Dr. w. B. B. Dubois, the professor of po- litical economy at the university, holds on the basis of these statistics and others obtained from other states, that of the $100, 900 which negro schools have cost within the last thirty years the negroes themselves have paid in di- rect school taxes nearly $50, 900 900, and by indirect taxes and the pro rata share due the negro from school funds not less than S400O0,000 nor more than $75, 900, GOO besides. The meaning of this, If the fig- ures are correct is that the Southern negroes are almost, if not quite support ing their own public school system.

Alabama mines makes, however, a very creditable aggregate. A writer in the Manufacturers Record thus describes iJ:
 If any one should in an off-hand way ask me what S,273,000 tons of coal looked like I should be compelled to admit that I did not know. I have, however, gone into a few figures fo give the world an idea of what all this means. As the in cretse in production is about 100000 tons per year, I have brought the calculation down to the probable output for 1901 in place of 1900 and taken only 100000 tons as the basis. We are now going to put all this coal in twenty-ton cars and we will have a short train of 4o0,000 cars drawn by 1S0O0 standard-size locomotives. The length of the train, with headway room between sections, will be 2970 miles. If a man could walk twenty miles per day continuously 1t would take him, if the train were standing still, 1481a days to pass it. The coal, if used In the pro duction of steam, would convert 72,0O0,OOO tons af water into one seam. The water necessary to make this amount of steam would cover Il, ,250 acres and be five and one-half feet deep, and the rainfall from this steam condensation would cover an area of 76S square miles 1.40 inches thick. This is a popular way of laying before the world the magnitude of what Alabama is doing in coal. but it has only started in its mission of human aid. To transport this coal all at one time by sea would take a fleet of 900 steamers of the carrying capacity of 10000 tons each.

Got a Hint from Subordinate.

Irving is nothing if not severely accu- rate. Shortly before he put on ''The Mer- chant of Venice'' he inquired of a brother actor if he could supply some stage "busi- ness" for the part of Shylock says writer in the Ledger Monthly. The actor being, like Shylock, Hebrew, thought he might, and asked Irving how he meant to do the ''imprecation scene" which oc- CUTS upon Shylock discovering that Jes- sica has ed with Lorenzo and the jewelry of her late mother, Mrs. Shylock."
 Irving knelt, held his hands prayer-like and rehearsed the terrible imprecation: 1T would that my daughter were dead at my feet and the jewels in her ear"
 Upon the actor saying that he was
 
 and he still bears scars of wounds re- ceived in that line of duty.
 "Shot through the lung, and yet, kept concelaed from his men the fact that he was wounded until the fight was over! That's just like John Mcdonald
 There is no braver soldier in the ser vice than Captain McDonald.' Assuredly not.
 Captain Mcdonald was born in Cham bers County, and is therefore, native Alabamian. He was graduated from West Point in 1879, and has ever since been in the active service of the regular army, except during the Spanish American war. when he served as heutenant-colonel of the First Alabama Volunteers.
 'Met in social intercourse. this gallant Alabama hero of the nation is one of the most charming and loveable of men. With all his extraordinary ceurage-one might say his positively reckless sp.sit of daring John Mcdonald Is in social intercourse as gentle and considerate as a well-bred woman. He is forever smiling, forever the very pink of perfection in courtesy that never fails
 "All the people of Alabama are proud of John Mcdonald. and to his beloved and adoring mother and to his fair wife and children all will in spirit send con- gratulations upon his. recent deeds and upon his recovery from so perilous a wound Proud must be those two women whose idol is coming home with added glory.
 Mrs Henrietta A. Mcdonald, Captain McDonald's mother, is at present staying at Ingrhams Wells, Ohatchie, Ala, and it is believed that his wife and chill dren are either there or at Alexander City.
 Tt will be remembered that Captain Mcdonald was the army comandant of the States great college at Au- burn for three years. from 1888 to 1891. He was married at the beginning of that period, and his first child was born at Auburn. In the AgeHerald in 1890 there was a 'Murmur of the World regarding that child's first tooth, and word comes that what was written of the infant then serves to amuse the well grown boy of today"

Where the shoe PInehed.

Some two years ago, when the late Hagen s. Pingree was endeavoring to bring about the sale of the Detroit street car line to the municipality, he gave expression to the following sentiments in an interview. writes H. I. Cleveland in the Chicago Record Herald:
 "They call me old Pingree,' 'dema- gogue Pingree, crank and lot of other things, but if you'll scratch the back of the fellows that are hollering the most about me and against me you'll find that what I'm doing or advocating is hurting some property right of theirs that isn't exactly on the square. You can go up and down the streets of Detroit, in all the stores and houses and where you find a man that calls me all kinds of mean things you'll discover that he's inter- ested in some property or some political job that my reforms would make over; would correct abuses in. I was over in Chicago the other day and I stopped at the Annex, and MT. -- came to me and while we were talking (we'fe old &C., quaintances) he said to me:
 Ping, why are you making all this muss about municipal ownership of street railways? Why don't you let well enough alone"
 sam said I, how much street rail- way stock do you own in the companies in the United States?'
 ''He got red in the face and wouldn't answer me-said that had nothing to do with the question.
 ", Yes said I, Tt has a great deal to do with the question. If you didn't own share and was a thinking man instead of a ney-malker you wouldn't call my eff forts a "muss" You'd use better term; you'd be complimentary and would help me along. But you've got stock in these companies, you know it's watered, you know you have a thousand privileges that ain't right, and you're sore when I come along and urge the people to make you be square. You call me fool and the people Anarchists

A man who has known Captain McDon- aid many years said last night:
 "The official record of John Mcdonald S heroism and the tribute to his daring are proud and noble enough for any man. but there is nothing in it all that is surprising to the great number of Alabamians who personally know this distinguished officer.

FASHION LETTER.
From the Sunday Papers,

Rainy-day clothing is a subject for
grave consideration. Men do not de-
moish as readily as do women under the
stress OF wind and water. Hence they
do not need 10 thick so seriously about
the weather. But woman who desires
to dress we'll and look we'll, not OCCASION
ally, but always. must dress with refer
ence to the elements.
Every season finds rainy day regalia
made more attractive. and a complete ar
NOR is we'll nigh approached. With the
beginning Of tie rainy season smart wo-
men will be seen wearing one OF two
things-either the fashionable water
proof ulster. still tremendously 10 vogu :,
or the short skirt, cut ankle length, &C
companyiog three quarters length coat.
The latest thing iD such suit was
shown this last week. A sample Co.'S
tune, and one which will doubtless be
duplicated many times, was made Of
heavy frieze, doublefaced. waterproof,
10 a warm brown shade most attractive.
The three quarters length coat was orna-
menied with a high collar Of velvet,
boasted many pockets, very full back,
and double row of heavy brown but
tons. The short skirt of the same mate.
rial quite decidedly cleared the ground,
and was finished with many rows Of
stitching. A decided innovation, both
for this costume and all rainy-dav wear,
is the heavy, thick soed boots to be worn
with spats matching the short skirt or
ulster. The tailor showing the brown
suit just described has on sale spsts Of
the same material and also very modish
rainy day hats in tur6an effects, stitched
and trimmed With quilts, the tIoSn
fri.zs being again USED. 1t is the gen.

eral opinion that this very complete out
fit will impress its usefulness upon SEN
sible women, and as result become pop
ular.
For small women the ulster will always
retain its attraction. because it increases
height. A little woman 10 three guar
ters length coat is certainly ludicrous
obi ct. She will fiud. however. that she
can wear moderately short skirt under
an ulster quite conveniently, thus taking
advantage both OF the becoming and com.
Portable thing. The best style OF ulster
for autumn is now shown in water proof
browns and grays, heavy. cut with full
back, belted in, military sleeves with
straps neatly fastening them close about
the wrist. Such a garment can bs
made use OF 10 any number OF ways, so
that it's general service may appeal to
some women as worth more to them than
the incidentally admirable three quarter
coat and short skirt as suit.
Umbrellas will be much lighter this
season than hitherto, and there will be
some stylish designs, matching short
skirts and mackinIoshes.
Women who wear their hair simply,
who place on it some jauuty hat which
has as little trimming as possible, over
this veil thick enough not to lose its
shape when wet, who incase their feet in
thick soled boots, and who possess
well-cut macintosh or water proof cloth
suit, can brave any storm and still retain
self respect when, on returning home,
they meet their looking glasses.
People are firing OF cretonne window
boxes and seas to some extent, though
10 all probability they will always be
used more or less. but they have ceast d
to be novelty. and here is something to
supply their place. There are boxes and
window seats Of bamboo covered with
