count will permit he purchases fed green or purple

real occasion for this speed the owner Of the
trivance doesn't want to get anywhere in particular
and as the machine he controls absorbs oil his at
tention he might just as well be speeding it on q
treadmill so far as the beauties of nature
cerned. But because his neighbor tears across
country he must follow suit.
In a scheme of existence in which work only
serves to crafty the desire to live SYSTEMATICALLY the
great majority is bound to forfeit individuality. This
because there is no natural development of the nd
vidual Everything comes from without. mans
dwelling, clothes, books and speech should reflect
himself and this is obviously impossible when some
body else does his thinking for him. person who,
like Mr. Yerkes and other rich Americans hires an
agent to select and purchase his pictures has no
business to own pictures. If he himself doesn't
know what he wants, the things others buy for him
are likely to bore him. man whose time is SO
limited that he must read condensed literature would
do better not to read at all else to take time to
enjoy himself. In the latter event he might have
to do without some things he considers in
dispensable to his happiness. People often wonder
why no distinctive schools of music literature or
painting have developed in America. It is because
Americans have convictions these subjects.
They take their ideas in European made pellets;
and the supply of all things exists in relation to
the demand, it naturally follows that Europe die
tates the fashion to be adopted.
The next few years promises healthy reaction.
The favor with which the public has greeted the
Arts and Crafts and other similar movements tends to
prove that people are firing somewhat of mode Of
life that is feverish and unsubstantial It tends to
prove that portion Of the community is breaking
away from the herd with more or less fixed determi-
nation to express themselves in their lives. Whether
or not the reaction will be lasting remains to be
seen, but if it gives America opportunity to prove
it's strenuousness along other than purely CONNER
cial lines it will serve it's purpose.

PRESENT indications would lead one to believe
that much Of the surgery Of the future will consist
of little else than improved and perfected massage
treatment. The American successes Of Professor
Adolph Lorenz have made many converts among
those who have been able to attend his Clinics and
if one may judge from press reports manipulation
will be substituted for the knife in many surgical
cases of the future To avoid making ncison is
certainly preferable, from the patients point of
view, to all the antiseptic and blood preserving

COMMENTING on some recently published epito-
of large subjects, the New York Times says that
condensation in literature is the order of the day
because people have very little time to read This
is sad admission to be compelled to make, but it
is true not only of literature, but Of pretty nearly
everything People have hedged themselves in by
SO many artiicialites which have become necessities
to them, that they have very little time for anything
but work. There is no equable allotment of labor
and recreation in the life of the average American
business man. He works seven days in the week all
year round, and for what? Not that he may retire
from business and enjoy himself in his own fashion
at the expiration of certain number of years.
there might be some sense in that-but that he may
the same kind of clothes, eat the kind of
food live in the kind of house and be conveyed
about in the same sort of vehicle as his neighbor
In other words. that he may be of herd and
lack single distinguishing feature He struggles
to retain his grasp lifes unrealites and let's the
realities slip by unobserved
A couple Of years of moderately hard times would
be beneficial to this country It would teach many
persons how few the genuine necessities of ife

of small things-which is the consummate art of
living we'll In these prosperous times dis

UNDER the caption of ''The Agricultural Negro"
Mr.. Booker T. Washington epitomizes his theories
for the uplifting of the coored in the November
Aysna It is unnecessary state that the article is
replete with common sense. When Mr.. Washing
ton speaks his words command respect. The saliva
ton of the negro, he says lies in work. Not in the
professions the arts but in manual labor in such
pursuits farming carpentry, house painting, stone
cutting etc. And education unless it tends to make
the student proficient in his chosen field than
his white competitor is of comparatively little value
Agriculture says this eminent educator is at present
the most profitable field for the colored aborer, and
his release from a condition nearly if not quite as
bad slavery depends first his ability to acquire
knowledge of the most progressive and economical
methods of farming and next on his opportunity to
apply this knowledge. Neither the ability the
oppor unity is lacking.
Of course Mr.. Washington's views on the negro
question are familiar to almost every newspaper
reader, but for the good of his people he can't reit
crate them too often. And by the token they
can't be too widely circulated by his white brethren
The great obstacle in the negroes path to higher
and more useful life is perverted ambition bordering
on vanity. He wants to do too much and do it all
at If he has taste for reading he starts out
by dipping into sociology political economy or
language. He wants to be spectacular in his learn
ing the same as he wants to striking clothes.
A manual of farming text book on the most
approved methods of mixing and applying white
wash he considers beneath his notice. If he is so
fortunate to college education he follows
one of the professions means of livelihood,
thereby spelling good mechanic at he expense Of
mighty poor lawyer. This desire to make splurge
which s natural enough under he circumstances
lie what Mr.. Washington is trying 10 turn into
channels in which it will subserve the interests of

ODDS & ENDS.

York recently, the speaker, ono
Mr.. j. s. Woodland, said: "We agb
doing Gods work in the worth
when we are making better men.
He wants us to do our part in
making the next generation better
than the present, and this we can
only do by rightly training our CHI
dren. God has given us our boys
to make them better men than we
are. First, we want to make our
boy grow into strong man phys
ically; so we must feed him on food
rich in bone and matchmaking
material, as oatmeal, wholesome
wheat -four and milk. Oatmeal
should be the main food of the
growing boy. The child should be
taught to develop his lungs to
their greatest capacity-to use the
lungs SO as to keep the blood pure
by breathing plenty of oxygen
Victor Hugo says: IF you would
civilize a man begin with his
grandmother" It is true that
great many boys who have the
best of parental training, develop,
in later years, into men Of the
worst character. But, as a general
thing when a boy or man goes
astray the responsibility rests very
largely with his parents and their
progenitors, as heredity seems to
asert itself in human nature in
this connection as we'll as in other
matters. The attention that has
been directed toward the various
methods of physical culture during
the past few years is crystalizing
into scientific research for still
greater progress along these lines,
and it seems very probable that in
course Of few more generations
science will have SO far solved the
problem of correct living that dark
places will become lighted by the
lamp of wise intelligence and the
whole earth be made fruitful with
the blessings of a more perfect
civilization, and people will live 10
b. $50 or 200 years old.
Boys should be taught to have
sufficient self-respect, as well as
respect for other people, to refrain
from using tobacco and liquor and
to avoid the companionship Of
those whose habits are bad.
In making an estimate of man,
the conditions of birth, ancestry
and breeding and other matters not
under his control should have full
weight.
When a man has imbibed too
freely offquor, but is still able to
walk with only slight zigzag
movement and seems to be exert
ing every effort to preserve his
natural gait and equilibrium he
looks to an transporting observer
as if he might have drop of sweat
on the end of his nose which he is
afraid will drop off.
It is not what man pretends to
believe, but it is his daily life, his
conduct, his acts, that count.
An Atchison couple who are to
be married soon, says the Globe,
are rehearsing for the escape from
the guests who throw rice and old
shoes. Every night at 9 o'clock
carriage dashes up to the house
and the man and woman make a.
flying leap to it, while the family,
impersonating guests. hurl every
thing they can lay their hands on.
The bride is becoming SO athletic
that it is believed she will be able
in a month to clear the front yard
and steps to the street in three
bounds.

PELEE ACTIVE. I.
AGAIN LAST NIGHT
Inky Black Clouds Rolled Over Fort
de-France Last Nigh -lnhabi-
tants Out in the Square.

Roseau, Island Of Dominica, B. w. L.,
May 27.-During the whole of last night
ashes from the volcano on, the island Of
Martinique fell here in greater quantities
than at any time since the outbreak Of
Mont Pelee.
Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
Monday, May 26.--9 p. Mont Pelee is
again in eruption. Huge inky black
clouds are rolling over Fort-de- France in
greet masses in which there are peculiar
light ming flashes. The inhab itants are now
focking into the great square of the town.
If the demonstration increases a panic is
imminent.
A heavy surf has been beating on the
shore for the last two hours and an en-
ormous grayish yellow cloud, alt great
height, is dimly visible in the direction
of Mont Pelee.
The night is intensely dark and the
stars are only family visible. :.
Fort-de- France is in no danger from the
volcano, but there is considerable appre-
hension Of a panic in the night time,
should the grayish yellow cloud reach
here and ashes and skones begin to fall S
? There are no noises from the volcano
at present.
LAS will be seen from the dispatch fol-
lowing, the geographical party, headed by
Professor Hill of the United States govern
rnent, is in great danger. The last that was
known OF Professor Hill he had started on
horseback for the volcano.
