N any Others. Otthe program present
cd too much cannot be said In praise
Every session seemed more interesting
than the last. Mrs. Hattie Fairfax,
who is at the head of an employment
bureau, discussed the problem of 'DO-
Anestic Science" and pointed out the
fact that in many cases she had found
colored girls very deficient in training
along that line. Her paper was the
signal for most earnest and spirit dis
cussiOn. It was decided that the girls
did not avail themselves of the many
advantages aud privileges that are open
to all alike in Cleveland. Special men
tion must be made of the paper entitled
The Outlook" by Mrs. H K. Price.
The convention was unanimous IN
praise of it. Most beautifully she pic

OF the future, and the effect of her influ

who delivered the address of welcome
gracOusly, was the first colored graduate
of the Cleveland High School. She Is
also musician as well ss an excellent
business woman. The address by the
president Mrs. Carrie w. Clifford, was
enthusiastically received. 1t was clear,

Metternich's statement that no room

plies to the recent modest celebra tion
in Carlisle, Pa, of the one hundred and
fftieth anniversary OF its foundation.
Carlisle was the first settlemeirt

Tense against the savages of the west

A cRUSoE COINCIDENCE.


Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale calls
attention. to some quaint and curious
features in connection with Robinson
Crusoe, which. says the Albany Argus,
have not hitherto been pointed out.
He writes:
READERS who are curious in English
history must not fail TO observe that
Robinson Crusoe was shipwreeked on
his island on the S0th of Septe mber,
1850. 1t was in that month that the
English commonwealth ended, and
Richard Cromwell eft the palace at
Whitehall. Robinson lived in this is
land home for es years. These aS years
covered the exact period OK the second
Stuart reign in England. Robinson
Crusoe returned to England in June.
1887; the convention parliament, which
established William III, met il Lon
don at the same time. All this could
not he en- accidental coincidence. De-
foe must have meant that The True
born Eng,ishman could not Use in Eng.
land during the yssrs while the Stuarts
reigned. Robinson Crusoe was ruler
himself on his own island, and was
never the subject G. Cares II. or
James II. He was not man without
country because he had Htt.e coun-
try OF his own; but be was a man in
country where there was no king but
himself"

Man Who Named America.

Few Americans are aware Of the fact
that the name Of their continent is due
10 German scholar. In 1907 Martin
Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla-
comylus, Of ST. Die in the Vosges,
edited a book called "Cosmographi9
Introductio," in which he gave a trans
lation Of Amerigo Vespuccps descrip-
ton Of his voyages.
That was just the time when Ameri-
COS fame filled the world, while Column
bus disgrace overshadowed his merit,
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village in the Vosges
when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own
glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that,
since the new continent was, after all
not part Of the Indies, no name would
suit it better than that Of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide, and
so quickly was the proposition accepted
that, when later on the true discOverel
was known, the name was already
rooted too deeply in general use to
be abolished, and was even extended
to the north part of the continent, while
Hylacomylus had only meant it fol-

For Tired Ewes.

Eyes will be greatly strengthened by
putting the face down into glass or
eyecup of water the first thing in the
morning and opening them under wa
ter. This is somewhat difficult to do
at first, but if the water for two or
three days be tepid and gradually made
colder by imperceptible degrees until
it is no shock to put the face into quite
cold water it will soon become quite
easy and is very invigorating and re-
freshing.
If done regularly every day, this
treatment alone will preserve the sight
into quite old age. There is right
and wrong way Of wiping the eyes
after this, too, and the right way is to
pass the soft towel very gently from
the outer angle inward toward the
nose.
If after long day the eyes feel so
hot and tired that they seem dim when
one tries to read or to do q little neces-
sary sewing for oneself, they should be
bathed with cold tea from which the
leaves have been removed.

they are in it for promiscuOus diet with
the black bass.
81 was fishing one day with very
large minnow on big hook. had a
bite and hooked q bass. It was big
one and gave me as pretty a fight as
/ ever saw till it broke the leader at
the point where it is attached to the
line and got away.
"We fished in other parts Of the lake
after that and finally started to the
landing, the guide rowing while skit-
tered with minnow. We were pass
ing close by the place where had lost
the fish in the morning when / saw a
bass dart for my bait. | gave it time
to swallow and then struck. When l
got the fish into the boat, l saw q
three foot leader sticking out of it's
mouth. 1t was the leader l had lost
in the morning. When I cut the bass
open, there was the same big club it
had taken from my line, and it came so
nearly filling the fsh's nav that the
tail of the last minnOw was sticking
out of the mouth. There wasn't room
for it in the interior Of the bass. New
