The fondness for style in dress that
is characteristic of the female sex is just
as dominant in the colored race as in the
white" said Mr.. P. J. Rawdon, of At
lanta, Ga, at the Shoreham. Il was re-
minded of this by recent experience of
Aunt Becky, an elderly negress, who has
been in my employ as cook for long
tine.
She was telling this, herself, to some
members of my family, who have a most
affectionate regard for the old woman. 1t
was at a camp meeting. and Aunt Becky,
getting very happy went off into sort
of trance.

Hereditary Once in the Philippines
While the District Committee was in
session Wednesday Representative Jen-
kins called up for consideration the bill
which he has introduced to enable no
taries in the Philippines and Porto Rico
to execute deeds for real estate situated
in the District of Columbia.
Some time ago he introduced a some
what similar bill and it passed both
houses and went to the President Then
the Wisconsin member learned that it
would prove ineffective in the Philip
pines and At his instigation it was re-
called, and he then introduced another
measure intended to remedy the defect.
In explaining the difference between ;hc
two measures Mr.. jenkins said that the
first bill provided for the execution of
deeds by notaries properly appointed.
and that he had subsequently learned
that under the Spanish law in force in
pointed. but that they hold Office by right
OF inheritance.

,ary Offices in the United States or the
territory subject to its jurisdiction" re-
marked Mr. CowhcrG OF Missouri
"Oh. We don't" quickly replied Mr..
Jenkins. That is, anywhere except in

Fortune in quicksilver Mining.

"A good quicksilver mine is one of the
best-paying properties in the world" said
Mr.. Anderson T. Herd, of New York, at
the Raleigh.
Spain and California are the chief pro-
ducers of this valuable product The Span
ish output is about 40 per cent of the
worlds total yield. If it had not been
for the money Spain got from this source
through the Rothschilds. she never could
have made even the feeble fight she did
against the United States
California produces almost all of the
quicksilver mined in this country. Gu,
of 10000 TASKS obtained last year Cali
fornia turned out all except about COO
1t is heavy stuff. weighing &c pounds to
the flask, and is worth from $50 TO So
per flask.
The demand for quicksilver is con-
slant. and as it exists in but few places
the price is always high enough TO make
the mining of it a lucrative business. 1t
is the basis of Chinese vcrmilion and it is
a necessity in the separation of gold
from the other minerals with which it is
combined

Bismarck's Prophetic Words.

Budapest Lloyd - Bismarck never

many should ever stand in arms against
each other. German and English discrea-

of such an Importance as not to permit
Of adjustment by honest purpose and skill

Bismarck had pronounced this utterance
for use at the present moment.
