Some Things Worth Remembrance.


II you do much walking around your
feet will pain you, especially in the first
coming OF warm weather in the spring
OF the year. - =.
Change your shoes after the hardest of
your days work is past and at night
battle your feet in tepid water. A salt
bath is refreshing TO tired feet. II YOU
have corns. try a drop of water on the
corn, which hangs from stick OF lunar
caustic-otherwise. nitrate OF silver. The
drop OF water will be quite strong enough
TO ease the pain In the toe. II you have
soft corns. a soft rag dipped in turpen-
tine and applied to the corn will take out
much OF the pain and perhaps take the
corn away.
II you are in hurry to get your cake
In the oven, grease the pan, and then
dust IL with a little -four before pouring
in the batter. The cake will turn out
smoothly.
Buy your bluing by the ounce. and put
It in a quart bottle for convenient use.
II will come much cheaper than in the
shallow little nickle boxes.
When one OF your family takes sore
throat. don't allow the others to drink
from the same cup or dipper; don't let the
sick one sleep with anybody else and burn
all the sputem that is gathered in the
spittoons. 1t is equally proper to put all
soiled handkerchiefs or towels that have
been used by the sore throated one in a
separate place or clothes bag. and they
should be washed separately. Since the
germ theory has become so well estab-
lished IL is now understood that many
diseases have been carried into other
homes by contact with wearing apparel
or the use Of same drinking vessel
Diphtheria is a dangerous germ disease
and is easily communicated by sleeping
with other members of the household.

word. AS late as 1919 no budding for such
a purpose had been erected anywhere.
Now the question of the hour is "wheth-
er university education win make all
these students. men and women, stronger
ADLER. purer and better than the men and
women OF fifty or seventy-five years ago?'
We have no real use for an education
which will not stand such test of pro-
gresE.
The fault with common school education
in the southern states is the adherance
to text books in these schools and the lack
of character training in the homes of an
inferior race among us.
We have been pulling at a laboring oar
for thirty-ive years. beginning at the end
farthest from the proper beginning.
There must be a revival of interest in
character building and If the men and
women who attend colleges and univer-
stiles are not made stronger and better
these methods should be changed.

The world may owe every man living but

so.
Some women make the mistake Of thinking

the train. You may get IT tomorrow.
He turned away ard walked to his office,
forgetting his key in the open bcx. The
vague sense of calamity that weighed or
his heart for the past two days, now be-
came a reality.
He sat in his Office all the afternoon in
dun stupor OF suspense. He tried &c

would get blurred and fade out of sight,
and he would wake 70 find he had been
staring at one sentence for an hour.
He knew his foster mother would be all
sympathy and tenderness IL he told her,
but somehow he hadn't the heart. She had
led him to his love, He had been so boy
ishly and frankly happy boasting to her
Of his success. he sicl5ened at the thought
Of telling her He went out for a walk
in the woods. and lay down alone beside
brook like a wounded animal.
The next day he watched his box again
with the hope that Sans guess might
be right, and the missing letter would
come. But, instead of the big square-cut
envelope he had waited for, he received
bulky letter In an old-fashioned mascu-
line handwriting with the post mark of
Independence, and a mill mark in the up
per left hand corner.
He did not have to look twice at that
letter. 1t was the sealed verdict Of his
jury. He locked his Office door. 1t was
long and rambling. full of a kindly SYM
pathy expressed in a restrained manner.
He could not believe at first that go out
spoken a man as the general could have
written II. The substance of its meaning,
however was plain enough. He meant to
say that as he was not in a position to
make suitable home at present for
wife, and as he disapproved OF long en-
gagements, it seemed better that no en-
gagement should be entered into or an
nounced.

and two arms werc around his neck, and
a still white face lying on his shoulder,
and that tears had washed all the harsh
ness and emphasis out Of what he had
meant to write, and all hut blotted out any
meaning TO what he did write
But withal ii was clear enough in its
import. 1t meant that the general had
haltingly but autkoritatively denied his
suit. He instantly made up his mind to
ask an interview Mt his home, and know
plainly all his reasons for this change of
attitude. He wrote his letter and posted
it Immediately by return mail He knew
that the lequest would precipitate a crisis
and he tTembled at the outcome. Either

A NEGRO SCHOOL AT THE PIER.

Gordon Mackey Makes Gift for College
at Narragansett
Narragansett Pier, r. l., May 1.-The
lower hill house on the top Of Tower
Hill, South Kingston. has been donated
by Gordon Mackay. of Newport, for
manual training school for colored chill
dren. Included in the gift of the hotel
property are ten acres of land and four
cottages.
The principal of the school will be Rev.
Mr.. Holy, of Philadelphia Dr. Buchanan,
OF New York. and Booker T. Washington
will be named as trustees. Mr.. Holy viii
open the school in September with many
pupils from the south.
This is exactly as IL should be- This is
one OF the proper places to start up the
colored schools, which are supported by
northern philanthorphy. 1t is a fine,
brave beginning-and I accord to Mr.,
Mackay the privilege of selecting the
race he wishes to improve by education,
Juts as I accord TO him and others the
liberty TO select their own black asso-
ciates.
II Mr.. Mackay will now insist that ne
gro office-holders must also be appoint
ed for Rhode Island, the capstone Of fit
ness will have been supplied to this fine
beginning OF practicing what he and his
neighbors have been preaching for a long
time.
II was a mistake TO put their school
money in the south while the opening was
so good In the north for education of the
eolored race. I have long wondered why
they did not equalize themselves to such
social equality. while they were persist
ent in ordering that such intimacy down
south should prevail
Mr.. Mackay is to be commended for
his candour. He has taken the COW by
the horns and placed the negro school
exactly where IL ought TO be, and it is
entirely true that both races will under
stand each other better after such ordi-
nary acquaintance, with an absence of
extraordinary sensationalism in the south.
The white man who prefers to give his
money to a negro school, rather than adu-
cate the poor OF his own race should
be gratihed by perfect liberty in such
matters. only he should be expected to
locate IL in the north.
