between men and women. Women at times work in the fields if their house. hold duties do not occupy their entire time. We rise with the daybreak and retire at dusk or shortly after. Summer for me is a time of incessant toll. l think I do not have an idle half hour in an entire day. If there Is a spare moment, 1t is utilized in putting an ex- tra polish on the parlor furniture or in adding another touch to the kitchen
 In the fall of the year we work. but we also indulge in some little harmless recreations. Occasionally there is a husking. a quitting bee, or hog killing party-times of hilarity and sweet fiirta- tions for the younger members of the community. Sauerkraut making at that season of the year is also great func- ton, as they say of the grand recep- tions in the cities
 My husband almost owns the farm now, after ten years of unremitting toll The mention of the farm reminds me that my entire life as girl and woman, with the exception of a few years at the Lutheran seminary. has been spent on a farm. Our income is small, but our needs are few, and at the end of every harvest my husband is able to put small surplus-from $100 to $200-in the savings bank for a rainy day. We are happy and contented with this simple yet busy life.

Salvation of the Negro.

Washington Post.
 There is a negro editor of a race paper down at Galveston. Texas. who has dare to tell his people some plain, whole so1ne if painful truths. and to give them 'ons advice which, if followed, would do more to benefit the negro than all of the mouthings of the Tillmans and John Tenn pie Graveses and other rabid advocatcS of summary dealing with negro offend CTS against the law. w. E. King, the editor In question, has arrived at the same conclusions, in effect, as those of Raymond Patterson, who has been mak- ing an unprejudiced study and investiga- tion of the negro and his condition in the Southern States. MT. King also agrees in most part with Booker Washington
 but ne has had the courage to tell his own people his views in terms that are blunt, emphatic and unmistakable. The substance of MT Kings conclusions is that wherever there Is a prejudice against the negro. the chances are about one hun dred to one that the negro is to blaine for it. No one Is going to respect the negro" says this remarkably independe 1t editor, "so long as the bulk of the race are lazy, shiftless. characterless, and inclined to copy the vices of the whites, while ignoring their virtues. What the negro needs is work six days in the week and every week in the year.
 Editor King. in other words, declares that the negro must be placed on the same plane as the white man who is sim ilarly ignorant. He must learn that em- D overs nave no tolerance of the employe, white or black. who spends most of his time in drunkenness, gambling making "gun-plays" or "razor-plays." He must understand that people generally will re- fuse to recognize any alleged rights" which the negro may claim so long as his conduct is such as to naturally bar him from participation in such rights. With farmers in every section of the Union clamoring for help in their fields, with manufacturing establishments handicap ped and unable to fill orders on account of shortage of competent, intelligent and steady workmen, with every line of in- dustry calling for the lubricant of hon. est labor, there is no room in this coun- try for the lazy, irresponsible, shiftless, absolute negro any more than there is for the white man similarly accursed. The position occupied by the negro of ! that description in any community Is one of strained tolerance. anad Is generally better than deserved The age of the Ioafer is past. The negro must learn 1t.
 When he has mastered this wholesome lesson he will probably have little cause for complaint about his treatment. Edi- tor King deserves credit for his frank, honest wholesome presentation of the case to his negro constituents.

THE AMIsH COSTUME.
Women Still Wear Same Garb az
 Worn by Their Ancestors


 The costumes in. vogue. to-day among the Amish people are precisely the same as those worn by the founders of their faith who came over to this new coun- try many generations ago. And their costumes are indicative Of all their lives. A still primitive settlement Tn New Hol- land, Lancaster county. Pa.. they have kept their simple ways intact and sepa- rate from the great. restless, seething world about them. Industry and fru- gality are cardinal virtues with them, and it is sin to marry outside of the faith. says The Independent.
 Our preachers are not paid. but are selected by lot. One of six books is marked and then all are distributed to six waiting men. If the one on whom the lot falls finds after some months effort that he is not qualified for the duty. he is then permitted to retire in favor of another. The office Is one rare- ly sought and as rarely declined. We have only meeting houses" never churches, and, the ideal is to hold serv- Ices in the homes of the brethren, and have no special building set apart for worship.
 Our children now attend public school where at first they were regarded as objects of great curiosity on account of their dress. but they now do not excite the slightest comment. The children call their parents by their Christian names, but the discipline observed in an Amish family would put the average American youngster to blush, neverthe- less. The daily bill of fare Is very simple. Ham and eggs, scrapple. bean soup trout from the brook apple but | ter. etc. are among the "standbys." | Coffee was once considered luxury | among the Amish. but that time is past | The mixture of Hollandish and South German dialects is slowly disappearing, and many of the Amish now speak Eng fish. Buttons are a thing eschewed. Hooks and eyes take their place. even | on the overcoats of the men. The small est children dress almost exactly as do their elders, the little girls in plain. straight gowns and poke bonnets and the boys in suSpenderless trousers and flat crowned, broad-brimmed hats. We. do not take oaths, but we affirm which, in a court of justice or the court of conscience, answers the same pur- pose. Brethren are now allowed to hold mortgages, but must not carry judgment notes. The theater and worldly pleas ures generally and liquor selling in par ticular are sternly discountenanced. Yet while extremely rigid with ourselves, we are liberal with those beyond the pale While We have no ritual, in some minor things We may seem a little overpartic- ular. For instance. have known a com mittee of Amish elders to remain in ses- sion for more than two hours debating whether the bonnet strings of the wom- en should be an inch or an inch and a half in width.
 As to labor there is an equal division

Pensions at "High Water Mark.

ENSH 1OIh WOTlu
 Pension Commissioner Ware is the lat est prophet to say that the "high-water mark of the pension tax has been reach ed. He puts its date at July S1. 1902. when the number of pensioners was just over the million-1.001, ,497. The figure has now fallen to 991. .S36. A corresponding reduce tion in cost is noted from $1420O0,O00 to less than $137 900. Past disbursements for pensions have several times exceeded H4O,0O0, 900, and in 1893 they reached I58.- 100000, but this was partly because of back pay" due to new legislation. The number of pensioners in that year was only 9960O0
 A curious parallel may be drawn be- tween pension expenditure and that other great tax reminder of the war-the in- terest on the public debt During one generation the one has increased almost in proportion as the other has diminish- ed. This is shown in the following table, using estimates for 1908:
 Year Pensions. Int. on debt. Total. 1S69.. $2S 100000 $130, ,00O000 $15S, ,000. 900 19O3.. q. e. 137, 100000 100000 164.OC0.000
 While the burden of the war debt has been divided by five. the cost of pen- sions. almost forty years after the close of the war and twenty years after James A. Garfield predicted a speedy declines has multiplied by five. High tide" if it has really been reached at last, was over due.

EGYPTs BURDEN.
Contributing a Million Year To
 ward Expenses of the Soudan.

ward Expenses of the Soudan.
 New York Press.
 Whatever may be the future of the Soudan, at present 1t is burden upon Egypt When the government of the Khalifa was overthrown and the region opened once more to trade and civiliza- ton an immediate revlval of prosperity was looked for, but so far the Soudan nothing of creating a trade profit for Egypt which should offset the great cost of the reconquest. The Egyptian govern ment has to contribute $1,OOO0OO year to help keep the government of the Soudan going, and the region is said to want railways irrigation, more population, and more administrative officials before 1t can be made a paying property.
 The seventeen years of rule of the Nah di and his successor, the Khalifa, have left the country in a worse condition In some respects than 1t was before the British pushed their Egyptian rule into it. But the British have been so successful in dealing with the problems of Egypt itself that there need be no apprehension of their failure to solve those of Egypt's annex, the Soudan. A country vast by comparison with Egypt and offering little of the material to work with which lay about so abundantly on the banks of the lower Nile, the Soudan presents problems which. while not so complex, are Of great CT magnitude than Egypts and demand work of the hardest sort. But England wanted the country, and now 1t Is up to- her to make something of 1t.
