BOYS EXPERIENCE WITH
LIMBERGER.

INA sent me down to pay bill at the
grocer's last Saturday. The boss be-
hind the counter made me a present of
something wrapped in piece of silver
paper, which he told me was a piece of
limberger cheese. When got outside
the shop opened the paper and when
smelt what was inside felt tired. took
it home and put it in the coal shed. In
the morning | went to it again. 1t was
still there and nobody had taken it. |
wondered what could do with it. Father
and mother were, getting ready to go to
church. put piece in the back part of
fathers pants, and another piece in the
when we started for church. 1t was
beginning to get warm. When we got
in church and after singing the first hymn,
mother told father not to sing again, but
to breath through his nose. After the
next hymn father whispered to mother
that he thought She had better go out.
After the second lesson, some of the
church Wardens came round to see if there
were any dead rats in the church. Some
more people near our pew got up and went
out, putting their handkerchefs to their
noses as they went. The parson said
they had better close the service and hold
a meeting outside to discuss the sanitary
condition of the church. Father told
mother they had better go home one at a
time. When they got home they both
went into the front room, but did not
speak for some time. Mother spoke first,
and told father to put the cat out of the
room, as she thought it was going to be
sick. 1t was sick before father could get
it out. Mother then turned round and
noticed that the canary was dead.
Mother told father not to sit so near the
fire, as it made bad matters worse. Just
then the hired man came in, and asked if
he could throw open the windows, as the
room smelt very close. Father went up
stairs and changed his clothes and had a
hot bath. Mother took fathers clothes
and offered them to a tramp, who said,
Thanks, good lady. they are bit to
high for me. Mother threw them
into the creek. Father was summoned
afterwards for poisoning the fish. Next
morning father had note sent to him.

thorough diScipline>of the big army of en-

that's enough to stun the average man.
Every man of them, from the boiler

highway crossing, must be trained and
disciplined to that point where an error
or omission in his duty is practically out of
the question. With such training, its no

found in the railway ranks; they are men
who can do things, and do them right
when they're called on.
1T is great thing, though" continued
the veteran, ITO see the way in which
some of the western roads have not only
kept pace with the growing traffic, but
have looked ahead into the future and
taken a wholesome grasp on this question

dollars in order to take care of these mil

STATISTICS OF THE AMERICAN
NEGRO.

The final census bulletin on the NEGRO
population shows that there are o,2o1. S3I
negroes in the United States, including
Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico. Half Of
this great number are under 70 years of
age and from II to I6 per cent of them
have white blood in their veins. The CEN
ter OF this black population is ,DeKalb
county, Alabama, it having moved from
DlnWldde county, Virginia, north east
476 miles since 1890.
mus the negro population constitutes
about one-tifteenth of the citv population
and one-seventh of the country population
OF continental United States. This pop-
ullatlon, although still large, is the result
OF steady decline during the nineteenth
century. The death rate of the negroes
approxlmates 80 per cent, while that of
the whites is ~ per cent.
At present fully 90 per cent of the ne
groes live in the southern states and II
per cent of them reside upon farms. But
the northern migration to the big cities
has been noticeable during the last two
decades, and is in large measure respon-
Slble for the excessive death rate among
them. Bad habits, poverty and disease
make terrible lnroadS upon negroes living
in the bigscities.
ne largest number of negroes living in
compact masses are found in certain urban
counties, several of which lie outside of
the cotton growing states. The four each
having 5000 negroes are District of Col.
umbla, coextensive with Washington:
Shelby county, Tenn, containing Mem.
phis; Baltimore city, Md, and Orleans
parish. Louisiana, coextensive with New
Orleans, The negroes form one-third of
the population of the entire south and A86
per cent of them are reconed among bread
winners, as whites. but these figures an
in favor of the southern black
men are accounted for by the prevalance
OF female labor among the negroes.

age ~ per ceut of the negroes and onlv

of the war and which proved the
