Occasionally it happens that
negroes are white, but for all that
they are still negroes, since they pos
sess every characteristic save one, Of
their race Linnnaeus long ago re-
marked that color was, after all.
merely a secondary character. The
negroes Of which we speak are Of
pure stock without any admixture Of
white blood. A family Of the sort has
recently been studied in Mississippi,
where a travelling archaeologist no
ticed a number of albino negro chill
dren at work in a cotton field In
quiry- developed the fact that they
descended from an albinO grand
father who married a black woman
and whose three sons were all normal
and black All the sons married black
women, two OF them had children who
were perfectly normal in respect of
color The third married twice. BY
the first wife he had six children
Eve black and one albino by the sec
ond he had nine chiIdren-six black
and three alhinos. The albinolsm
therefore, skipped an entire genera
ton, appearing only with the grand
children of the original parent, and
then only in certain cases.

At dinner that the Transportation

honor of j. Pierpont Morgan, Charles
H. Cramp of the big Philadelphia ship
building firm. said IN reference to a
financial fight that WAS under discus
sion:
THE way the hrst party accuses the
second, refusing to take to itself any
OF the blame that rightfully belongs to
It, reminds me OF a story of two Scots
which one of the teachers at the Phila.
delphia Boys High School told In my
boyhood.
These men were Canadians They
had euigrated from the lank Of kale at
about the same time. They used to
meet once or twice a year, and talk
about home.
"One day the hrst asked the second
how long he had been IN Canada.
About sax years. was the reply.

plainant said, by growing at daybreak
Once a spinster had the face to report
a baby as a nuisance. She said IL cried
all night, so that she could not sleep.
The boss got mighty indignant with
her. Are we to let the race die out,
madam, he says, so as to keep your
rest undisturbed2 Do you want us to

Brooklyn and New Jersey exchanged
civilities at a recent dinner Of Phillips
Exeter Academy alumni An anecdote
was told by Julius H. Seymour OF the
man who, having successfully assigned
to two men their native States, was
Indignantly contradicted when he told
a third that he hailed from New Jersey.
Il don't; I'm sick today; that's what
makes me look so"
Following this. Dr. Henry Sanger
Snow, Of the Brooklyn Polytechnic In
stitute, declared that Brooklyn was
not New York, but it bore about the
same relation to 1t that heaven did"
Wilson Farrand, headmaster Of the
Newark Academy, couldn't stand for
the aspersion on his own State. SO he
told this.
"Once there was a Brooklyn man
who crossed the Jordan. When he ar.
rived on the further shore he looked
around superciiliously, and, after pro
longed staring, remarked, Il don't see
that heaven IS so much better than
Brooklyn
But, my dear man. this is not
heaven he was told.1
