Various departments of household hints" have unaccountably neglected to tell how solid gold plates may be warmed for the meat courses at din ner.
 This may be done in the right or the wrong way. The right way Is eX' emplifed at Castle Kilkenny. This IS one of the oldest inhabited dwellings fin the work, some of the rooms being 800 years old. Among It's ancient treas ures Is a service of gold plate.
 Besides the ordinary plate service, Castle Kilkenny has the whole series of gold cups used at coronation ban uuets down to the time of George lN' The gold of the service plates is almost without alloy, consequently very soft and easily marred. Hence the plates are warmed and presumably also washed after use by being dipped Into hot water held by a pair of tongs whose. tips have been mutled in cham ois leather.

women and the Thentcr.

Avowedly women are both directly and indirectly the best friends of the theatrical manager. If he can please the feminine portion of his audience he is tolerably sure of success, for when woman likes a play she induces her men folk to go to it. This being so. ought not women to be specially considered in all places of entertaln- ment? But 1t is precisely on the oppo. site lines that the manager commonly proceeds. Men are eucour1 ged to push and squeeze past and disturb and in. convenience ladies between the acts because smoking rooms are provided for them in most theaters. Women, on the other hand, are eNpostulated with and denounced if they wear hats at a matinee.-London World.

cogee For tbe Inebrinte,

A traveller has made the observation that coffee drinking people are very seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra zll. for instance, where coffee is grown extensively and all the inhabitants drink 1t many times a day, intoNtcauon Is rarely seen. The effect is not only noticeable among the natives but the foreigner who settles there, though possessed of ever such a passion for strong drink, gradually leses his liking for alcohol as he acquires the coffee drinking habit of the Brazilian.

ABOUT NEGRO PROBLEM.

Especial to Bystander.)
Less than 800 years ago there were
about 30 Negro slaves in Ameries, and
up to the time of the closing of the
civil war there was about 4, 200, COO of
us delivered. u
These poor ignorant refugees started
out for new life, and started right
from the stump, or with nothing, and
we are proud to say that God had pre-
pared the hearts of the God-fearing
people to receive "a and to help us 20
devlop in education, trades and wealth,
along with morals and religious mo.
tives. At the same time we have pull
ed against the current AL along the
stream Of time for the last 40 yearts
and still we are advancing and gaining
ground.
Now il some of our so called leaders
of the race would lay aside their pre-
sunptuous ideas that Negro leaders
alone are the ideal thing for the Negro
and and that our various ministers
would olense their pulpits OF political
issues and indignation meetings, and
preach the true gospel Of our Lord
and SAVIOUR Jesus Christ, SO as to con-
vict and convert the hearts of those
who are out of the ark OF safety, that
they may learn to engage themselves
in keeping the laws, both civil and
moral; and that some of our newspa-
pers would cease publishing every sort
Of stuff about Negro lynching and
worthless criminals, aud holding such
q ono up before the public as general
results of the Negro problem. And
that some of our southern statesmen
would cut out their speeches on Negro
equality, and teach their children
through the schools and in the high
ways. that all nations are of one blood
and one flesh and are the children OF
one father, the God OF the universe.
Then the so called Negro problem will
sooner or later solve itself.
The Negro is all right, just simply
let him alone and treat him AS one OF
the family. He is learning to do every
thing every other nation is doing IN
every sense Of the word. OF course
then we have some credit Of doing
some good. The greatest trouble ! see
in the whole mako up of the Negroes
nrourasa ia that he exer .ises the prRc-
tice too much Of the old saying, "one
dollar in tho pocket and two dollars
idsa."

DEATH OF COL. PLEDGER.

DEATH OF COL. PLEDGER.
The death of Hon. William A.
Pledger, the great republican
leader of Georgia who died at his
beautiful home in Atlanta Jan.
9th inst, takes from this earth
, one of the greatest and most in
fluential race men of America.
He was tower of strength in
the southland for the republican
party, a friend of humanity and
lover of his race, For twenty
five years he was chairman of the
state central committee and had
been a delegate from Georgia to
every national convention for the
past twenty years. He was edi-
tor of the Atlanta Age, one of
the Oldest and best newspapers
printed in the south. Col. Pledg-
er was admitted to practice law
about twenty years ago. He was
an orator and his eloquent voice
never ceased to defend his race
and the E. o. p. in the southland
as we'll as in the north. He was
known as the old fighting guard
and easily ranked with Douglas,
Bruce, Lynch, Langston, and
Pinckback, and his influence for
good, honesty and fair play for
his race was very impressive
among the Caucasian race. AS
leader he was a prince, as race
loving man he had but few equals,
as lover of right and justice he
excelled. His remains were taken
to Athens, Ca, in a special car,
loaded with his many admirers.
Peace be this great mans ashes.
