 ministers is the large idle class of young people who are to be found on the street corners and in dens of sin and misery In our large cities Parents should remember that their children are not safe until in addition to their education they are taught some industry by which they can earn a living, and are taught to love and honor labor. We should everywhere teach our children that it is disgrace for them to be in idleness The loafer injures not only himself, but the entire race. In too many cases those who would criticise us to our disadvantage see the conspicuous loafer on the street corner or about the bar room, but they do not see the industous, intel ligept and cultured individual in his home. Too often the conclusion is drawn from the man on the corner of the streets as the best type of the negro race likeness leads to crime, and crime leads to death While \ have spoken thus, do not for a moment overlook the unparalleled progress made by the negro during the last thirty eight years. No race in history under similar circumstances has made so magnificent record as is true of our race.

ChiIdren's Meals.

Children should be taught to be reg.
ular at their meals and to take nothing
between meals. This rule applies to
infants as well as to older children.
The practice of feeding the little one
every time it cries is a most serious in
jury to its weak digestive organs. An
infants stomach, though it needs food
at more frequent intervals-two to four
hours, according TO its age-requires
the same regularity which is essential
to the maintenance of healthy diges-
ton in older persons. The irregularity
usually practiced is undoubtedly one
of the greatest causes of the fearful
mortality of infants from disorders of
the digestive organs, as appears in our
uortuary reports

I'VE renewal of hostilities between
the Morgans and the Chadwells, re-
sulting IN the death of four men and
the wounding of four others at Big
Springs, Tenn, the Kansas City Star
imagines may be expected to create
some such comment as this in parts
of Europe: 1.-The internal peace of
the United States is once more threat
ened by the uprising of the mountain
banditti in the provinces of Kentucky
and Tennessee. which are peopled
with semi-civilized tribes. For Sc me
time tie general government and the
provincial authorities have held these
fierce mountaineers in check, but
they are once more at ole another's
throats. Many were killed and
wounded at the first battle, which
occurred Sunday, Oct. 6. 1t would
seem that while carrying civilization
to the Philippines at the head of an
army, the United States might give
profitable attention to the pacifcation
OF its semi-savages at home"

Anecdote OF Sim. Reeves.

An operate singer tells the following
little known anecdote relating 10 the
late Mr.. Sims Reeves: About the mid
die of the sixties. while the eminent
tenor was living in a hotel of town
on the south coast, he made n wager
with another guest that he would black
his face, proceed to the beach and sing
few of the songs which had made
him famous without recognition. Sims
Reeves duly disguised himself and rem
dered to n sparse audience Tom Bowl
ing" MY Pretty Jane" etc; but.
strange TO say, he did not receive much
in the way of appreciation or financial
tributes from the beach loungers. Hat
in hand the tenor approached an elder
ly gentleman who was standing apart
and requested a trlfiing honorarium,
but the stranger had recognized the
great vocalist despite his ebon hued
skin, and he replied with decision:
Not this time, Mr.. Sims Reeves, My
wife is mad about your performances,
and YOU have cost me many n guinea.
You have just treated me to the luxury
of listening to you without any ruin
GUS expense being attached"
''Confound you," said Reeves, you
have made me lose my bet! Come to
my hotel and have drink"
The stranger accepted the hospitable
invitation.

The Schley naval court has acted

The Schley naval court has acted
with excellent wisdom in denying the
application of the attorneys of Rear
Admiral Sampson to participate in
the trial. To permit the counsel of
q third party to break into a hearing
of this kind would simply open the
way to constant quibbling, pickering
and delay, and the outcome would be
SO hedged about with technical phases
that have nothing to do with the mer-
its of the controversy that it would
be difficult to ascertain what the court
had been seeking solely to learn.

SMALL CALDER RIFLES.
How They May BE Kept Clean with
Squirt of Water.

Squirt of Water.
''Now. I'll tell you something that
will save you the trouble and expense
of bringing this gun to me again." said
the expert gunSmith to the owner of
= I'D caliber magazine rifle. the barrel
of which had become so foul that it
would not shoot true.
The rifles of this gun are not lead
ed. They are simply caked up with
powder. All small caliber rifles get
that way when ordinary. soft bullets
are shot out of them. This caked pow
der is as hard as steel. and if 1 were
to try TO get it out with instruments 1
would ruin several dollars worth of
tools. Water is the thing to use. Wa
ter is the greatest solvent known, but
very few people, particularly people
who handle guns, seem to appreciate il.
They nearly always try to clean their
gun barrels with oil when water Will
do the work twice as Well
"You use this rife mostly for shoot
ing frogs, don't you? I thought so.
That is what most men use a ID cali
Der for. And you sometimes shoot it
several hundred times a day. and you
find il too much trouble to wipe it out
every few shots. Amt I right: | knew
ii. Now. let me tell you what TO do.
Get a small syringe that you can carry
in your vest pocket, and after every
ten or twelve shots squirt Il syringeful
of wafer into the barrel of your gun
from the oreech. then shoot n cartridge
out OF it while it is wet. If you will
follow this plan, you can shoot your
gun 10000 times and never need to
clean it. The water softens the powder
that has accumulated in the rifles and
the bullet forces il out.
Use plenty of water in the barrel oe
your rifle, very little oil in the lock,
and never under any circumstances put
coal oil in the works. and you will save
yourself much veXation and always
have Il smooth working gun. st. LOU
