hearts, with creamy dressing, apple and

varieties served by way of a salad
course. But the ingenious housewife
can easily devise others quite as whole

pecans, brazils, green pistachios and

with most effective means Of defense,
such as lie in the strength of their
wings, claws or beak, and that they
can defend themselves or capture their
prey with great agility 1t is not so
well known, however, that some birds
are possessed Of a special weapon,
sort Of natural slung-shot, as it were
in the shape Of a knob of bone on the
wrist The wrist of a bird is at the
bend of the wing, and there is the place
where such a weapon would be most
effective.
Mr.. Lucas, in Bird Lore" gives an
interesting account Of the flghtless sol
itaire, the bird that possesses this knob
Of bone, and which was in reality
big, overgrown pigeon. When this par
ticular species was in existence it was
confined to the Island of Rodriguez,
where years ago the Frenchmen caught
him, and cooked him and ate him quite
out Of existence. The bone Of this
wing grows greater toward the eX-
tremity, and forms a little round mass
under the feathers as big as a musket
ball. They will not suffer any other
bird of their species to come within 200
yards.
Among well-armed birds may be
mentioned the gannet and heron. The
former could do much damage were he
inclined with his wonderfully keen
edged beak, while the thrust from the
bill of the blue heron would be power
full enough to kill an adversary Of the
same species. The ostrich, with his
hard kick, is well able to take care OF
himself. I'D +ba.

iand; and to enable visitors and tourists
to view the spectacle from its most adj
vantageOus points, and also to gain ac-
cess to the many remarkable caves in
the vicinity, a walk has been cut out
and built in the face of the cliffs, which
in itself constitutes a commendabla
engineering achievement This path
way is only from two to three feet in
width, and winds along the face and
climbs the cliffs in a most eXtraOrdi-
nary manner, which from a short dis
lance always imparts to the promenade
a most perilOus appearance, since inn
mediately below the waves thunder
among the rocks. But the walk has
been most skillfully and cleverly de-
signed and constructed. Steps are cut
roughly and broadly into the solid
rock, but to insure perfect safety to
climbers a handrail has been provided
The intervals between the rocks are
spanned by delicate and spider-looking
bridges of iron. The length of the
walk so far constructed is nearly three
miles, and it is to be continued for an
other two miles, which it is anticipated
will be completed within few months.

These be Fit for Suffrage.


RalelSh I0St.
We respectfully invite the prayer
ful attention of the New York Even
ing Post to the following:
A Pine Bluff, Arkansas, dispatch
of May 2Sth conveyed this intelli-
gence:
Eight thousand negroes at least
have deserted this city and will stay
away until Saturday or longer as
the result of Ellen Jefferson's proph-
ecy that the place will be destroyed
by an awful cyclone tomorrow. The
two railroads have sold an aggre-
gate of $1,000 worth of tickets for
from Is to 81 cents each
1.-The prophecies says that God
told her to warn all the faithful to
go at least six miles from Pine Bluff.
She is in jail at Little Rock. awaiting
examination as to her sanity. The
craze she started will cost the city
and surrounding country not less
than S2OO,OOO."
Now we do not lay any store by
the good lady in the case, Mrs. -
Ellen Jefferson. because we are com
PEELED to admit that fools. as we'll as
the poor, we have always with us.
But what we wish our New York
contemporary to carefully consider
and inwardly digest is the fact that
OF this good people several thousand
at least are men and brethren who
enjoy the suffrage privilege provided
for by the XVIII amendment. Now
we put the question direct: Are
these folks fit to vote? and thus pos
slbly determine the majority in Con-
gress or the electoral college as the
miNed-breed delegate from Hawaii
decided the platform for the Democ-
racy in 1900? What is there in the
character OF this class of people-and
there are many, many thousands
throughout the South-to appeal to
the lachrymatory organs of the New
York Evening Post.

SUFFRAGE FOR THE NEGRO.
Must Wait for EducatioH-Bitter Ex-
perience and Failure at Giving to the
Black 1an the Ballot First and Fit
mss to Exercise il Afterward.

By Rev Dr. Lyman Abbott, Of New York.
The negro question is n National
problem, not a sectional one. The
North and the South combined to
bring the negro here, and because we
i'm the North couldn't use him in our
industrial development we let him 60
to the South. Later, the conscience
of the North, REINFORCED by CONNER
cial interests, it must be admitted,
abolished slavery. By national ac-
ton we made the solution of the ne
gro problem a national question.
1t is clear that we of the North
can't compel by force the elevation
of the black man. With the sword
YOU can sever manacles. but you can
not lift up a man by the same me-
dunn.
We must not go into the South
with advice in a hOlier-than-thou
spirit, nor acting as though we be
lOnged to the wiser-than-thOu class.
Neither force nor Phariseeism ever
converted Il race.
Suffrage must wait for education.
Education Is primary: pollt zeal rights
are secondary. We have tried the
experiment OF giving to the negro
| suffrage first and education after
ward, and bitterly has the country
suffered from our blunder. No man
| ever should receive the power to con-
| troll other men until he is able to eX-
| ercise such control.
The negro race is at the present
time inferior to the Anglo SaXOn
race We have ten centuries of civil
ization behind us. They have had
countless centuries OF barbarism and
two centuries OF servitude behind
them. The human race slowly
energies from the brute. Ii we give
power to the brute, the result will be
wreck and ruin.

Pointed Paragraphs from the Durham
Herald.

The Filipinos are not supposed to
understand why we sympathize with
the Jews in Russia.
Why is it any worse to shoot Chris
tianity into the Jews than into the
heather, who know no better?
The South will remain solid as long
as such men as Hanna and Foraker
control the Republican party.
Probably the negro Cole got the
benefit of the law that was enacted.

ing to do with it, but who those Will

Mr.. Haywood's attorneys will be
ready for trial as soon as they can
secure witnesses to prove what they
want to.
1t is not the intention of the law to
punish a man before he is convicted,
nor the disposition of the courts to
do it afterwards.
If people who sign petitions for
pardons were required to state what
they knew about the case there would
be much less OF it.
We should be ashamed OF ourselves
for kicking on the weather when we
see what is happening i'll other sec
tons OF the country.

Greenville Reflector and the Wilson

they think of each other.
This thing Of turning rich criminals
loose will have no evil effects so long
as poor folks understand that they
cannot go and do likewise.
OF course the juries that convict
criminals and the judges who sch
tence them are only human and liable
to err. but SO is the Governor.
At least people who refuse to tel
what they know in criminal cases
have no right to criticise the courts
for failure to secure convictions.
