a fish is the dearest thing to a negros
heart and palate, and where the sup
ply of fish is abundant the matter Of
living is so cheap and easy that the
negro is Indifferent to regular employ
ment. Besides, in Charleston there
are too many street parades, emp
meetings, excursions, festivals and
cheap theatricals. 1t is difficult to
keep the negro steadily at any sort of
work where such events so largely fill
up life. A more decisive test of The
fitness of negro labor for cotton mills
is now being made at the Coleman
cotton mill of North Carolina. The
mill is owned and operated by negroes.
The site is in the Piedmont section of
the state, one mile from the city Of
Concord. The capitalization of the
mill is 100000 of which $4,000 has
been paid in. The subscribers to the
stock are scattered throughout the
state and number about $50. The sub
scriptions vary from $25 to $1,000, and
are payable in instalments.-Jero
Dowd in Gunton's Magazine.

THE BEAUTIFUL sALTIco.

The SalticO is a handsome beast;
You may search the world from east
to west,
And you never can discover, know
Such beautiful beast as the Saltico.
AS black as snow is his naughty head
His eyes like blades of grass are red;
His mouth is the shape of circular
square,
And as for his nose, it isn't there.
The Saltico's fingers are not so fleet,
so he plays the piano with is feet,
And, as his voice is out of gear,
He has to sing all his songs by ear.
The Saltico's dress is exceedingly
plain;
It's satin gown with a velvet train,
Embroidered with pearls and slashed
with gold,
And copper lined to keep out the cold.
The Saltico lives on picked soap
Served in buttered conteloupe:
And every night, ere he retires,
He eats up one of the bedroom fires.

WHEN A BOAT Tips OVER.
1t Is Well for Women to Know What
to Do.

On the question discussed at the
public baths, whether a girls skirts
if she fell overheard would buoy her
up or drag her down there seemed to
be division of opinion. Finally, it
was agreed that they might buoy Der
up for a few seconds, until the air that
was in them escaped, but as soon as
they were wet they would tend to
drag her down, and make swimming
practically, impossible. Of course,
how soon htye got wet would depend
on the material of which they were
made. Miss Clark, the teacher, point
ed out that when a woman dived into
the water the air under her bathing
skirt formed big bubble which ham
pered a swimmer so that she reached
back and pressed it out as soon as
possible. But this same bubble would
undoubtedly tend to buoy up a non
swimmer for an infnitesimal space Oh
time. On the other hand, this afr
chamber lasted much longer in a wet
bathing suit than in a dry one, for lii
the formerthe pores of the material
were to a certain extent filled with
water and the air escaped slowly.
The suggestion of an undressing
drill seemed to particularly please DR..
Mosher. It's practical value was evil
dent as in nine cases out of ten the
drowning accidents are the result of
an overturned boat, and it's occupants
are not in bathing suits. The children
used to swimming there in the lightest
possible attire, for except with the
teachers the skirted bathing suit is
unknown, would be hampered almost
to rendering their knowledge Of swim
ming useless if they were called upon
to save themselves with their high
shoes, two or three petticoats on, and
in the case Of the older girls, long
skirts and probably corsets
1t is not that undressing in the wat
er is particularly hard Most of those
who swim for pleasure have probaDIy
done it, but the youngsters should be
taught that they can and that in an
eergency they must undress sufficient
ly to be able to put their knowledge of
swimming to practical use. One or
two lessons would be all that would
be needed. The matron suggested,
and the suggestion was good one,
cat least teach them to pick up the
front of their skirts and hold them in
their teeth to keep them out of the
way. I always do that even with my
bathing suit if l am swimming any
distance "-BroOxlyn Eagle.
The two young men reached the
door at the same time.
SIS Miss Walsingham in?" they
asked.
The maid looked at them and shook
her head discCnsolately.
"She's in to wan av We an out to the

THE PEOPLE ARE LEARNING.

Most of us learn only through ex-
perience, though we may read never
SO many books. A great many people
have been taking lessons lately; It
has taken considerable chastisement
to keep us to our task. But we are
learning. The losers in the end will
not be the people. In the end the peo-
pie will get what they pay for. Either
through government control or as The
product of something to compete with
coal, this necessity of life will not be
interrupted in it's supply nor prohib-
tied by the price That is what we
are paying for now; and the goods
will be delivered when the price is
paid.-Universalist Leader.

LATE MEMORIAL.

There is a movement on foot to
erect a monument on the outer point
of Cape Cod to commemorate the
adoption of the Pilgrim compact of
government. The Pilgrim compact
was probably the earliest charter of
democratic government, adopted by
the people, known to the world. A
rugged obelisk, 200 feet in height
placed upon an eminence on the outer
most point of Cape Cod, where all
passing and repassing at sea may see
it, will be, it is thought, fitting me-
mortal of such a landmark of history

coLoRED MEN FACTORY HANDS

The first experiment with negro Ia
Dor in a cotton factory was made
about three years ago in the city of
Charleston, S. G. The outcome was
unsatisfactory and the factory soon
closed down. However, this test was
not made under favorable circum-
stances. The factory was situated too
near the water. 1t is notorious fact
that negro labor is unreliable along
water courses. Next to a watermelon,

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
a 1t is more often, however, the cause of
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by neglected cold. Diseases of
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gans are all frequently the result of
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause of them
is discovered there will be no use in
using medicine. @1t
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is OF no
good whatever when catarrir is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated The
canse being removed, the arrangements
will disappear
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of the
internal organs.

Theodore Roosevelt ON "The Presi.

dency."
Before his nomination for the Vice
Presidency Theodore Roosevelt wrote ex-
pressly for The Youths Companion an
article on ''The Presidency" 1t will be
published in the number for November 6,
this being one of the remaining weekly
issues of 1902 sent free from the time of
subscription to every new subscriber who
at once sends $1.75 for The Companions
1903 volume. When this article on The
Presidency" was written no one could
have foreseen or dreamed even that its
author would SO soon be called upon to
take up the duties of the great office.
For this reason alone what Mr.. Roosevelt
has to say possesses extraordinary inter-
est, and will be eagerly awaited by per-
sons of all shades of political opinion.
