to her, but still she is afraid to trust it.
She doesn't mean to be unpleasantly

well, but she is nuisance. However,

Perhaps if there is one thing which
oils the delicate springs of society
more than another it is the exercise of
tact. 1t is gift, not an acquired habit,
for the tactless woman cannot see that
she lacks that innate courtesy which
would make it impossible for her to
say things best left unsaid." Kindli-
ness of heart, some people call it, but
that Is by no means an accurate defini-
ton of this grace. Rather is it the
power of putting yourself in another
persons place and feeling instantane-
ously what would be the effect of such
and such remark on them, says.
Home Notes. Certainly tactful women
are the pleasantest Of companions, for
their intention enables them to see
when it is best TO keep silence and also
when word in season may put mat
ters straight.

Negro Population Doubled.

There are twice as many negroes in
the United States today as there were
when Lincoln set them free, and the
last census returns show white popu-
lation of 67,000,000 and Il negro popula-
ton of S,S50000 with about 100000
Indians, Chinese and japanese. The
death rate among the negroes in the
cities where they live in the congested
districts and where every law of ma
ture and sanitation is defied' is nearly
double that of the whites and is far in
excess of the birth rate, and this high
mortality has led some to thinl, that
the negro is dying out. The census fig
ures show that this belief is erroneous.
The increase of negro population in the
rural districts more than makes up for
the loss in the cities, and the rural sur
plus flock cityward in sufficient num-
bers to fill up the ranks. The negro
population is increasing rapidly, not as
rapidly as in slavery days, but as rap
idly as the whites. - San Francisco

Noya Scotia Women,

The women of Nova Scotia are fine
race, both physically and mentally,
more buXom and sturdy than the aver
age American woman of today. Nova
Scotia girls, as rule, are distinctly
pretty, with refined features, superb
compilations and beautifully nodded
figures. They are not afraid of work,
and wholesome work gives them fine
physiques. They are known in Ameri-
ca by the quality of the service they
render when they accept employment,
They constitute a class by themselves
in domestic service, redeeming all that
kind of work from the menial charac-
ter imposed upon 1t by careless, unin,
telllgent and Indifferent wage earners
und restoring it to the status it held
when performed in good old times" by
native American girls of good family,
pducation and breeding.
The Nova Scotia women are capable
In various ways. They make equally
good schoolteachers and farmers wives.
Many of them have excellent business
and executive abilities-much better
oftentimes than the men of the family
and these abilities are exercised in
managing farms and making and look
ing after numbering contracts, etc,
while their husbands. fathers and
brothers devote themselves solely to
irresponsible physical labor.

The first thing to do on getting an old
pewter piece" is to have it thoroughly
task to the amateur, especially when,
as frequently happens, it has been left
untouched for some time, perhaps be-
cause it has been lying by unused or
to give The truly "old" look which the
dealer values. If the pewter is very
dirty, when is generally the case, its
grease and dirt, it should be boiled in
strong soda water and afterward
cleaned with the usual preparations.

SHORT TALKS
Brief Comment On Political and Other
Matters of Public Interest.
ANDREW ]. PALM.

Every man who can think without
having his brain work befuddled by
his partisan bias or his selfish inter-
ests, believes that the government
should own the telegraph lines of the
country. There is no better reason for
leaving the telegraph lines in the con-
troll of private individuals and corpora
tions than there is for the private
management of the mail service. If
the mail service had not early been
taken under government control 1t is
safe to say that it would be as hard to
get it out of the hands of million
aires as it is today to get favorable
consideration on the question of gov
ernment ownership of railways or
telegraphs. Judge Jackson, member
of congress from Kansas, has introduce
ed bill asking congress to have
commission of five persons appointed
to appraise the actual value of the
telegraph lines and to report within a
year. Two of these persons are to
represent the government, two the
telegraph companies and these four
are to choose a fifth. This is very
necessary step in the proceedings. 1t
is safe to say that the price will be high
because the telegraph companies will
devote more attention to the case than
will the government. 1t doesn't fol-
low, however, that the government will
be obliged to pay an eXorbitant price.
1t can build its own lines rather than
pay more than these already erected
are worth, and then let these lines
have the government for competitor.
1t isn't hard to predict the result II
the companies are once convinced that
the government means business they
will be glad to sell at a reasonable
price. A thousand times better build
telegraph lines than war vessels. The
one is evidence of improvement and
civilization, the other an indication OF
blind submission to the instincts of
barbarism that should find no place
among a Christian people.

Wyoming has 35,000,C00 acres of
good grazing lands. There are about
100000 cattle and 100000 sheep in
the state. Between the cattlemen and
sheepmen exists Il feud that not infre-
quently leads to murder. Sheep, as
you may or may not know, feed in so
close order that when Il flock has fed
over range not II spear of grass re-
mains. Cattle browse at random and
leave behind more than they eat, so
that the range may provide sustGnance
for two or three herds, one following
the other.
