cARNEGIE,s GIFT TO rUsKEGEE.

Andrew Carnegie's gift to Booker
Washington's school, the Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial Institute in
Alabama, is so large that it will place
the school beyond financial troubles.
The only restriction placed upon it
is that provision shall be made for
Booker Washington and his wife dur
ing his own and his wife's life. AS
the amount that will have to be set
apart for them will be small, there is
assured to the school an annual in
come of nearly 100000. Mr.. Carnegie
expresses great admiration for Booker
Washington, and there is no doubt
that the latter is deserving of all the
credit that is being given him for the
work he is doing.
He has built up a great school at
Tuskegee, and he is conducting it along
lines that promises the best results for
his race. He is not teaching the ne
gro to seek social or political equality.
He is teaching him that there is room
for him in this country if he is content
to seek prosperity and happiness in the
trades and occupations that are open
to him. He has done and is doing
good work in educating young men
and women of his race along industrial
lines. One thing he is particular about
is that students at his institution shall
have clear understanding of such
things as contribute to good citizen
ship. He wants his gradutes to be
teachers of their people in the com
munities in which they settle-teach-
ers by example.
We do not know whether or not Mr..
Carnegie is a contributor to the funds
of the General Education Board and
the Southern Education Board which
began holding their annual conference
this week at Richmond, Va. 1t is
not improbable that he is. 1t is not
to be supposed that his gifts to edu-
cation in the South are only to negroes.
1t is worthy of notice, however, that
most of the gifts of rich Northerners
to educational institutions in the South
have thus far been for the benefit of
ers seem to forget that the Southern
people are doing all they can afford to
do for the cause of common school
education and are sharing their COM
mon school fund in each of the states
with the negroes.
We mention this matter only be-
cause if it becomes apparent that the
negroes are getting educational ad-
vantages through means contributed
from outside sources, advantages
which are telling in their favor,
there will likely be developed a feeling
to devote to the education of the ne
groes only the share of the school funds
which they contribute. A feeling of
that kind would be regrettable for sew
eral reasons. 1t has already cropped
out in Mississippi, and in fact it has
received attention in other states.
Still, the better sentiment the senti-
mept that will, in all probability, con-
tinue to prevail, is that they should
have their fair share of the school
money.
The two educational boards to which
we have called attention have adopted
the policy of assisting both races, and
to that policy there is no objection.

Job Hedges of New York is telling
this one on Mark Twain, says the
Philadelphia Ledger:
"In the old days, shortly after
Twains first book was just off the
press, he was asked for his autograph
by young woman. Flattered by this
touch from the wing of fame, he look
ed around for something on which to
inscribe his 'two-foot' nom de plume,
and espied a copy of his book. On the
fly leaf of this he wrote name and
date, and handed the volume to the fair
petitioner, saying:
Maybe that book will be worth a
great deal of money some day.
THANK you, said the young won-
an. Then, wishing to show her knowl-
edge of the value of signed copies, she
continued: of course, 1 know that
without the signature the book never
would be worth anything

At the annual convention of physi-
clans of Missouri, held in Kansas City
a few days ago, DR.. Edward Andruss
warmly advocated the extirpation Of
the vermiform appendix in all infants
it had been demonstrated that the ap-
pendix could be dispensed with without
harm to the human body; whereas if
it were left in it was the cause of a
lot of trouble to many persons. Take
it out in infancy. he said, and much
suffering would be avoided.

The cattlemen of South Dakota. who
have been in convention during the cur
rent week. think this year will be a fine
one for their business. The herds on
the Dakota prairies came through the
winter in fine shape. While there were
heavy SHOWS. the severe weather did
not last long enough to do the cattle
any considerable amount of harm. The
opening of spring finds stock in better
than average condition and the own
ers in hopeful spirit. If the outlook
were as good for beef consumers. there
would be cause for mutual congratula-
lions, but beef prices are still high
with no present prospect Of a de-
crease.

bill, a naturalized Englishman was
some weeks ago making speeches for
Harrison from the tail end of a truck

George, Prince of Wales, is the only

After twenty years of hard fighting
in the ring, Bob Fitzsimmons says he
is left penniless, except for a life in

Beach This is because Fitzsimmons
made his wife his business manager
and banker. All he earned and owned
he turned over to her. The bank de-
posits and the real estate were in her
name. The other day she died sudden

of his life will go to the heirs of Mrs
F1tzsimmons. However. Bob . is still
in possession of his fists and his repu-

Spraying Is Necessary.

In an address on spraying, Prof. F.
| M. Webster said: The canker worm,
the tent caterpillar, leafrollers and
other native leaf-eating insects, find
Instead Of an occasional wild cherry
|tree, wild crabapple tree or wild plum
ltreo. whole acres of improved varie-
ties Of these, acres upon acres of
raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and
grape. Grass feeding insects find
hundreds and thousands Of acres of
grassy plants more tender and juicy
than the natural grasses. Is 1t any
wonder that native insects, before
confined to a less number Of less
fruitful trees, with an occasional year
that permitted almost no fruit at all
to grow, thus almost exterminating
them, should, under such favorable
conditions as are offered by our pres
snt system Of fruit, vegetable and
grain culture, thrive and increase In
numbers far beyond what they would
under less artificial and less favor
able Surroundings? We first create
a environment, unnatural and vast
ly mere favorable than the original
for the development Of insect enc
niles Of our crops, and bring about the
very conditions that these insects are
intended to prevent, and then wonder
why 1t is that they do what is the
most natural things In the world for
them-feed and breed in the midst Of
plenty. 1t has always seemed to me
that the fruit grower who planted out
his orchards, vineyards and berry
fields, and gave them no protection
from their natural enemies, was do

The present conditions are now what
hey are, and we cannot now change

Would Make War Impossible.

On the day before his death, which
occurred recently in Moscow, Prof.
Phillipoff addressed letter to a pa
per Of that city stating that for years
he had been experimenting with
view to evolving a death-dealing in
strument of such power that war
would become impossible, and had
found a means for transmitting the
effects of an explosion over distance
of thousands of miles. The professor
announced that he would shortly i'm
part his discovery to the st. Peters
burg Academy of Science and it Is
now being questioned in scientific cir.
cles whether he has taken his secret
to the grave. His death was due to
from prussic acid.

Eight hundred veterans of the army
of the Philippines celebrated at Ma.

"SOClETY" HAS NEW FAD.
"Munchlns" Now the Proper Thing
at Swell Dinners.

One of the popular fads at Newport
at present is "munching," which
means merely eating very slowly.
Munching is one Of the numerous pre-
ventatives of growing avoirdupois,
and as it has the recognition of King
Edward it is naturally regarded with
much favor in Newport. The theory
is that every particle of food must
be chewed slowly and carefully until
no solid material remains to be swal-
lowed. Slow eating is merely car
ried to an extreme by the new treat
ment. All London society threatened
with too much flesh is said to be
chewing very long and very thorough
ly and American converts to the sys-
TEN are already numerous. Its effect
is said to be noticeable at dinners,
which have come to be known as
munching parties and are much less
yiyacious than they were when eat
ing and drinking went on rapidly.
Persons who eat slowly also eat much
less than those who eat rapidly,

The Kitchen Garden.

While gardening Is steadily on the
Increase yet 1t Is deplorable fact
that many farmers have little or no
garden and by this means deprive
themselves of a privilege that should
be taken advantage Of by every one.
Nothing is more healthful or more
easily produced for the use of the
family than a good supply Of garden
vegetables of all kinds. Thus it is
that nearly the entire living of the
family can be secured from such a
garden for several months in the year,
and that living Is the most healthful
and palatable Of anything that can be
furnished, especially when fruits are
added. We would not advise farmers
who are not within easy reach of a
good market or canning establish.
ment to attempt to raise much more
than enough for their own use, be.

The Guinea Hen.

From the Farmers Revlew:-The
Guinea hen Is one of the most inter-
esting fowls on the farm. She Is al
ways wide awake and lively, always
on the lookout for any enemy that may
appear, and when seen she is not slow
to give the alarm, which oftimeS is a
great protection to the other fowls.
Then she is a great layer; will com.
mence soon as 1t Is warm In spring
and will be a regular contributor to

to SIT They can be raised as easily
as chickens and when they are raised
with chickens they will be as gentle
as chickens. The white Guineas are
finer table fowls than the colored ones,
as their flesh is Of lighter color, and
their skin more yellow. don't think
any one could tell the difference be-
tween young guinea fried and young
prairie chicken, and an old one is as
an old prairie chicken. When hatched
with chicken hens they have to be
shut up with a hen four or five days
until they get used to the hens cluck,
then they can be turned out and fed
the same as chickens. They are
great foragers, always on the go, and
catch a great many insects. If they
want to go into the garden, let them

hing, and are not likely to eat any
hing but insects and worms.-A. 2.

Testinu Reauires skill.

The details of sampling and testing
required are worthy Of the factory
mans most earnest attention and care
says Professor Eckles of the Missouri
Station. The Babcock test under prop
er conditions Of use does exact justice
to all, and instead of being a cause Of
friction between patrons and creamery,
it should be a peacemaker and judge
that increases business and en-
courages improvement among the
herds Of the dairymen. 1t pays to do
your testing carefully and honestly. 1t
pays as a business policy, leaving out
for the moment the questions Of right
and wrong. 1t pays to give every man

not. | do not believe 1t pays for a
man to attach an air of mystery to the

of testing a secret and allow no pa.

The Calf and the Cow.

The dairy calf, to be raised econom'
ically and with the greatest chance OF
developing into valuable dairy COW,
must be raised by hand, says J. H.
Grisdale. True, considerable skill and
careful attention are necessary to sue
coed along this line, but careful OBJ
servance Of four or five principles will
insure success First, regularity Of
feeding; second, uniformity in guam
tity of food; third, uniformity in DUAL
lily of food; fourth, uniformity in tenn
perature of food; fifth, cleanliness.
The young calf should be fed at least
three times a day for two or three
weeks, and preferably four times The
ration the first week or ten days
should consist Of whole milk fed at a
temperature Of about 100 degrees
Fair. This ration may be gradually
changed to skim milk by introducing
a small amount into the whole milk
ration and gradually increasing the
proportion, being careful to feed al
ways at the same temperature. The
place of the fat removed in the cream
may be taken by oatmeal or faxseed
meal boiled, being careful to make
but very slight addition in the usual
amount at any one time. Most ills
that calves are heir to arise from a VIC
lation of some one Of the principles l |
have mentioned or from a lack OF |
cleanliness. Almost every case of
scours or indigestion may be traced
to some sudden change in the time Of
feeding, the quantity or temperature
Of food fed. 1.-THE boy is father OF
The man" is a trite saying, but even
more surely the calf is mother Of
the COW. The ill-fed, dyspeptic, I'm.
thrifty calf can never hope to develop
but commonplace COW, and
two or three successive generations Of
calves SO treatel are surely enough
to chill the aspirations Of the most
;anguine dairy man. The calf once
past the age of three months Is usual
y safe, the danger from that time on
ying in the risk Of getting too much
