nc dreams Or social equality with
white people.
The only salvation of the negro
race is education. They must be
taught to be v.rtuous, and to quit
stealing and go to work. 1t will
not make a negro happy to asso-
ciate with white people. The white
and black races a never mix.
Let the educators Of the colored
race create and cultivate a society
among themselves. Let them in
spire their people to be men and
women. Because a man is a negro
does not keep him from being
honest, Industrious, and a gentle
man.
We would say to the negro race,
shake your rotten trileness from
you and go to work. Wash your
selves with soap and water and
wear decent clothes. Make your
selves homes, and it will be an
incentive to have good character.
Get self respect and you will soon
have a desire to be respected by
other people. Don't squander
every cent you get, but save it and
put it in a home or something that
will do you and other people some
good. Be moral, honest, indus
t%rious, men saving; be Christian
andwomen and you will be res
pected by your own and other rae
es, and you will feel that you have
something for which to work and
live.

We highly appreciate the
complimentary remarks OF
our friends relative to the
recent improvement made in
the size and appearance of
the Professional World. We
believe it is best to begin at
the bottom and to go gradu-
ally to the top. We hope to
be able from time to time to
make improvements until we
have made the Professional
World the best negro paper
in this section of the country.
We trust also that those who
have not paid their subscrip'
tions will remember that i'm.
provements mean additional
expense.

A "Judiclous" Buyer.

One Of the younger proprietors of

on a special preannounced day every
week, has been winning all his ex-
penses by betting with his coterie in
Delmonico's that Russell Sage would
be n of the first to arrive at his store
on the morning of the marked-down
disposats. He knew from experience
that the veteran financier rarely in the
spring and fall misses one Of these
"clearings out" Mr.. Sage picks UP
bargains In all sorts Of things which
he can find use for, from a pair of
trousers ($3. 60-original price 81 to
small kitchen utensils marked down
from five cents to a penny apiece. "If
every one would be as judicious in
their buying as I am" Mr.. Sage once
observed to the narrator of this true
story, there would be less poverty and
the modification and suffering result
ing therefrom. Nearly every one is
living beyond his means."-New York

THE MULE.

The mule, whether military
or civilian, is often made
the butt of unseemly jests,
but we of Missouri know his
solid and sober value. We are
therefore glad to have an
opinion cOrrobo rated by a
serious agricultural Journal.
The Tennessee Farmer says
of our semi-equine friend:
The mule is an easy animal
to raise. He doesn't eat
much as compared with a
horse. An energetic mule
will make a trip quicker than
a horse, though he may not
go so fast. The secret of
his speed is his uniform gait
steady and persistent. you
hardly ever see a sick mule;
he seems practically immune
from the diseases which at.
tack horses. A mule can en-
dure more hardships than a
horse, will pull more in pro.
portion to his size and will
stay with it. longer.
A mule is easier broken or
trained to work than a horse
and is more reliable after
initiated. If a team of mules
run away they look out for
themselves, and though they
make close turns and go
through a needles eye, 80 to
speak, they usually come out
unframed. We would rath.
er pillow corn with a team
of mules than with horses.
They break down less and
turn around quicker. Hot
weather affects the mule less
than the horse. A good, hon.
est, business mule is worth,
and will command a good
price, any day in the week.
The mule is not handsome,
doesn't make a good road
ster, isn't stylish, doesn't dc
himself proud if hitched to
a fancy yellow wagon OF
cart, but what he lacks in
appearance he makes up in
actual usefulness on the
farm.

Whs' 1t Took Three Days Between
New York and Philadelphia.
The remarkable coaching trip be-
tween New York and Philadelphia the
other day and the fact that the Phil
ade .phia whips are talking about at
tempting to lower the time made by
young Mr.. Vanderbilt and his friends,
recall the old days when the stage
coach was the only means of t%ranspor-
tation between the two cities. The
first New York stage via Trenton and
Perth Amboy was instituted by John
Butler In 1855. The coach left the
sign of the Death of the Fox, a we'll
known tavern in Strawberry alley, and
was scheduled to arrive in New York
In three days. In 1865 a second line
of stages to New York was started,
and another competitor entered the
field in 1776. This line was known an
The Flying Machine" and guaranteed
to make the journey in two days. Il
started from Elm street, near Vine.
The vehicles were advertised as good
stage wagons with seats set on
springs" and the fare was 3 pence per
mile or 20 shillings for the entire
route. When the railroad between
Camden and South Amt ~ was built
stage travel between Philadelphia and
New York ceased, except for a short
time, when the stage lines attempted
to compete with the railroad. This
mean of transportation was finally
abandoned in 1886. 1t Is worthy Of
remark that all the force and energy
as we'll as the capital, were supplied
by the Philadelphia end of the line,
showing how, even in those early days,
Philadelphia took the lead in coaching
matters.-Philadelphia Record.

For Utilizing Lost Pouar.

A device described by M. Rateau of
Paris uses the lost power Of machines
worked internationally, like winding
engines. or the reversible engines Of
rolling mills, and is claimed to add 500
horse power to the energy available in
a winding engine plant of ordinary
size. The extra apparatus consists of
a low pressure reservoir and a turbine.
The reservoir has a series of basins
for collecting and carrying away the
condensed steam, and Is by its peculiar
construction made much smaller and
less expensive than an ordinary reser-
voir. 1t makes practicable the supply
ing Of a continuous flow of steam to
the turbine from an intermittent

The formal election will not be
held until the march meeting, but
that the nominations should be

such early action was that those
who might be nominated could

sible for 1t.
Paris will doubtless set the seal of
fashion upon white fabrics for even
Ing wear this winter, for every French
lady of the higher official classes had
an elaborate toilette blanche construct
ed for the visit of the car and czarina
to Compeigne. And In having thus to
turn out a very large number of gowns
OF different styles the great possibili-
ties Of white have been revealed. 1t
Is said by those present at one of these
receptions that the effect of all these
colorless dresses, adorned only with
rich laces, and In every fabric from
satin to mousseline de sole. was most
beautiful. II was, of course, in defer
ence to the known preference of the
czarina for snowy costumes for wo-
men that these salons blancs were held.
But the result has been SO beautiful
as a whole and individually the dresses
have been such artistic CONNECTIONS,
that 1t is not at all unlikely that we
shall find this will be the beginning of
a white craze this winter. "Ouida"
has said that all women should al all
times wear white; 1t is a view largely
shared by the c~zarina, who never
wears any color at night. Mingled
with silver and gold, white can be
made to look richer than any color
ever sent forth by the most cunning
dyer. 1t would be interesting to note
