Fair and Dark People.

An eminent anthropologist has just
given some interesting facts concerning
fair and dark people.
1t is not little distressing to find that
in the case of men their complexion is
invariably found to have a direct bear
ing on their calling and careers, and pre-
sumably the tint of their hair likewise
affects the success in life of women.
In support of this statement a bewilder-
ing mass of statistics has been set before
us showing how fair men in humble life
incline toward occupations connected
with horses and cattle, while fair men of
a higher status become political agitators,
men of science, artists and lawyers. On
the other hand, it Is shown by figures
how statesmen, men and women of let
tiers, explorers, clergymen, actors and
actresses are chiefly dark
On the whole, the fair folk decidedly
get the best of it. Their temperaments
are more in their favor. They are more
ambitious and energetic and pushing.
The men who recruit the aristocracy are
mostly those on whom nature has be-
slowed ruddy, or, at least, straw colored.
locks Mothers Of fair headed little boys
will henceforth look pityingly upon those
with dark haired ladies. and the matri-
monial chances of blends and brunettes
ought undoubtedly to undergo a change
after these revelations. And the terrible
part of ii is that there is literally nothing
to be done. Dye is presumably unavail-
ing. When nature has once settled our
"teint for us, we can only murmur
"kismct' and accept our fate. - Lady's

Welsh Rabbit,

The famous John Chamberlain Of
Washington had a recipe for Welsh rab-
bit which was poem. 1t is as follows:
"Welsh Rabbit.-Four ounces Of
cheese, half an ounce of butter, spoon
full Of made mustard, two tablespoonfuls
of cream, cayenne and black pepper to
taste.
"Grate or chop the cheese then in a
bowl with a spoon or in a mortar with a
pestle, rub all to a uniform paste, adding
or not as you like, tablespoonful of ale,
porter, beer or champagne; make a slice
of rather thick toast, which dip an in
slant in boiling water and place in the
oven.
Now transfer your prepared cheese
mixture to a saucepan and stir over
gentle heat until melted then heat up
quickly and pour upon the toast and
serve. This is quantity for one per-
son. Time required, from three to FIVE
minutes. This recipe won the respect of
congress" T-New York Herald.

Whenever some great wrong is to be
righted it is usually woman who comes
to the front. In the English antislavery
movement it was Elizabeth Herrick who
first uttered the historic watchword, "im-
mediate and unconditional emancpa.
ton" In the Puritan theocracy Of Massa-
chusetts it was Anne Hutchinson who
stood for religious freedom. In the Amer
lean antislavery movement it was Sarah
and Angelina Grimke OF South Carolina
who came north after freeing their slaves
and began the agitation which Harriet
Beecher Stowe intensified by her Uncle
Toms Cabin" while Abby Kelly raised
the money which enabled Mr.. Garrison
the keep The Liberator alive. 1t was
Mary Wolstonecraft who in 1890 started
the worldwide woman's movement by her
brilliant book entitled 1.-THE Rights of
Women" Now if few brave women
have done so much for the world what
have we not a right TO expect when we
have established, in place of the existing
aristocracy of sex, government by men
and women alike in the home and in the
state?-Woman's journal.

THE SONG OF LIFE,

One must sing of the sunshine,
One must sing of the rain,
One must sing us the songs Of ioy.
And one sing woes refrain.
Yet in the end all the songs will blend
In one harmonious strain.
One must sing OF the future,
With hopes and fearings rife;
One must sing of the misty past,
It's dreaming and its strife,
Yet they will meet in a chord full swest
The marvellous song Of life.
One must sing of the mountains,
one must sing Of the sea,
One must sing US the song of love
And one in hates shrill key,
Yet all will rise to the blending skies
In one grand harmony.
Love and hate and compassion,
Sorrow and right and wrong,
Past and future and war and peace.
Rise in an anthem strong,
And all will grow as they ebb and flow
To LIES unceasing song.

a SONG OF REST.


Restful to tired eyes and sweet
Are fresh fields fun Of growing wheat:
Atar they melt into the mist
OF evenings deepest AMETHYST.
Cireling round, the hills arise.
\ lapis blue 'gainst deeper skies.
As hills Of ancient Rome they stand.
fuLI seven strong, locked hand in hand
Atween their riffs run path and stream;
pom their slopes the cattle dream;
The nurseling focks in patches lie
Like drifts Of cloud in summer sky.
Bells ring out the sunset hour.
Crows fly home. and in each flower
Bees are droning an evensong,
And night moths hover the bushes among.
Dear rest to tired souls anu kind
lhis evening hourI Then one may find
her Mother Earth. and on her breast
The head may fall. Come, night! Come. rest

Not Make 1t Known
The Site Committee of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Savannah Fair Association
met yesterday Afternoon at the store OF
Messrs jackson & Metzger. Mr.. j. W.
Jackson. chairman, Mr. B. H. Levy and
Maj. Ryals attended. The committee
would not give out the results of its de-
alterations, though the members admitted
than an agreement had been reached and
meeting of the directors. They consid-
cred that they are bound to submit their
report to the directors before making
their choice of a site public.
Several sites were proposed. written
propositions having been received by the
committee. The Thunderbolt Driving
Park. the Ten Brock race course, the
Twickenham tract. the Avondale tract,
a tract on the Thunderbolt shell road,
not far from the Cathedral Cemetery;
another near Sackville, on the Waters
road. and yet another on Dale avenue,
by the Merchants and Mechanics Land
Company, were offered. No intimation
as to which had become the choice Of
the committee was given.
One gentleman of the committee said he
had been approached by two.or three who
were ready with verbal propositions. but
their offerings were not very attractive
One. for instance. said he had beauti-
fully cleared field eleven mikes from the
city. He expressed some surprise when
told that the distance was a bit against
his getting his offer accepted. Another
offered a farm eight miles from the city,
guaranteeing that it could not be reached

SEABOARD STOCK ACTIVE.
Local Official Is said to Have Bought

Considerable activity in Seaboard Air
Line stocks is reported. 1t is said that
many shares of the stocks are bought To-
cally, one official of the company in Sa-

coo shares recently. He is advising his
friends to buy. Yesterdays quotations
on the stocks were. common stocks 141k
bid. and 151h asked; preferred stock. 3314
bid and 341k asked.
In casting about for explanations for
the activity that is shown, that offering
the best claim for credence is the report
of the prospective acquisition by the
Louisville and Nashville of the Seaboard
1t is generally agreed that such an alb
sorption would be a good thing for the
Seaboard, good thing for the Louisville
and Nashville, and a good thing for Sa-
vannah. The Seaboard has many friends
here, but they would not be sorry to see
the line sold out, provided Mr.. Williams
and his associates secured a price that
satisfied them for their investments, and
the great expenditure of time and labor
that they have made in consolidating and
building UP the system.

ONE WAS TURNED LOOSE.
Jury Failed to Agree in Case of Sec
Ond Alleged Thief.

Two negro men, George Flowers and
William Mills, were tried in the Superior
Court yesterday for the offense of lar
ceny from the person. The jury in Flow
ers' case found the defendant not guilty
and thus gave him his liberty; that in
the Mills case was still locked up and
unable to agree at an early hour this
morning.
The negroes were charged with reliev-
ing George Haggard, a colored farmer
from North Carolina. of $50. Haggard
rolled into town several weeks ago and
collected whatever was coming to him
from his Savannah factors. In the course
of the same evenings while he was en-
gagged in a perfectly laudable effort to
paint the town, hee ran across Flowers
and Mills, and they relieved him, he said,
of all the money he had.
AS was natural under the circum-
stances, Haggards testimony was a bit
vague and misty, and he could not con-
meet Flowers with the theft with suffi-
cent definiteness to warrant the jury in
finding a verdict of guilty against thas
individual. In Mills case the testimony
had two effects upon different members
of the jury and when the last report
from the jury room was received there
was no prospect of an agreement.

NOT UNTIL NEXT FALL
Will MIR. Carnegie Take Up Matter of

Savannah will have a long wait before
hearing from Mr.. Carnegie relative to his
understood offer to give money for the
establishment of free library in this
city. His private secretary has written
that Mr.. Carnegie will not take up the
matter until next fall. The multi million
aire will spend most of the time in Scot
land at his princely seat in that country.

The letter from the secretary was re-
ceived yesterday. being addressed to
Mayor Myers, who had written Mr.. Car
negie more than two weeks ago of the
action of the City Council in expressing
a desire to cooperate with him in his I'M
derstood purpose to make a donation to
Savannah for the establishment of a free
library. The letter from Mr.. Carnegie's
secretary was as follows:
New York, March %, 19n.-Herman
Myers, Esq, Mayor OF Savannah-Dear
Sir: Yours of the eth duly received, but,
unfortunately, Mr.. Carnegie is In Europe
and will not be here to take up library
and such matters tin the fall when your
letter will be brought to his notice. Very
respectfully yours.

The Mayor said last night that there Is
now nothing TO be done but walt. He ac-
counted for the delay in the receipt of a
reply to his own communication to the
very heavy malls that must be received
for MIR. Carnegie.
