A WONDERFUL LAKE.

Undoubtedly one of the most remark able natural objects known is what is called the Pitch Lake, on the Island of Trinidad, and to the average reader but little is really known about it. Yet from that lake our principal supply of natural asphalt or bitumen Is obtained. The lake covers an area of about one hundred acres. and it's surface Is described as ''one great floating mass of asphaltum. It is referred to as a hideous place, so far as the sense of smell is concerned, for all the air is heavy with foul-smell- ing gases, and a fountain of liquid asphaltum gushes up from the centre which spreads over the surface of the lake and soon hardens. Then. in the words of The New York Comnercial:
 The workmen go out on the surface of this lake and cut great slabs of asphalr tum, which are carried away. But the next morning the hole they left Is filled up again with the pitch that has risen during the night, so that the supply seems to be inexhaustiole.
 This statement of the bare facts does not in any degree solve the mystery of this singular body of water and pitch. It tells us what is seen and what Is ob- tained. but gives us no solution of the mystery connected with 1t. Whence comes the apparently inexhaustible sup ply of this singular product? In what hidden depths of the earth's bowels Is stored the raw material which is thus continually forced to the surface for mans use? Asphalt. in some form, Is found at various places, but this is the only place, so far as we now recall, where there is such natural and con tinually renewed supply There are de- posits of 1t in various parts of the world, and there are other lakes of more or less importance but the authorities are agreed that the Trinidad lake is the most important one known.
 It is related that Sir Walter Raleigh, while on his way to the mouth of the orinoco River in 1893 in search of the legendary Fl Dorado landed on the island of Trinidad and discovered this remark able lake, but its importance doesn't seem to have impressed him or the world at that date. Bitumen, or asphaltum was known in some of It's forms to the ancients as well as the moderns, and the ancient Egyptians used a variety of it in the process of embalming bodies. Now its use Is so various and general as to be almost universal, and the prin-

DON'T WORRY YOUR CHILDREN.

Children are often made irritable and troublesome by their too attentive and anx- ious mothers. A child should be let alone to play and amuse itself in its own fashion without constant direction from it's mother.
 Any one who has watched a child at play, either boy or girl. will soon discover that large number of it's games are pure ly matter Of imagination and that it's pet toys are not those which its elders would choose for 1t. but are of the simplest des- crfption which only tho imagination of a child could make attractive.
 A fussy mother by insisting on her small son walking properly will often spoil the most delightful game, of pretend in which the child win repr6duce as far as possible all the kickings and prancing of a restive horse
 Thus she spells innocent and healthy en- joyment. and by hiudering his imitation of the manners and customs of a horse In his play she discourages the child from making use of the faculty of observation, a faculty which once repressed will with dIfr- culty be reused when needed for the prac- tical work of life.
 Toys of childs own choosing and very often of its own making are the best for 1t, and they need not be numerous. little wooden hammer was the dearest inanimate friend of one small boy: 1t was with him by night and by day and again and again doubtless opened the doors of fairyland tc him and brought joy beyond the concep- tion of his prosaic elders.
 Another little childs pet toy was dolly made of 0 babys vest. It never looked like anything but a vest to any one but its little owner, but for all that it was dearly loved, for 1t was always equal to being whatever It's owner desired in any game o pretend"
 There is no game more attractive thar that to an intelligent child, but 1t Is on, which is often spoiled or rendered impos sible by well meaning but too fussy mothers and nurses, and then they wonder wh! Tommy or Molly isn't good tempered anC is so difficult to amuse.

Jefferson and the colored Brother.

Baltimore Sun.
 Whom MT. Cleveland denied the other
 day that he had ever. while President.
 entertained any of his Afro-Amertcan
 fellow citizens at the White House, or.
 while Governor of New York, had ap.
 proved legislation providing for mixed
 schools, our Republican friends were sl-
 fenced for the time being. But their si-
 lence was only temporary: If MT, Cleve-
 land had not directly or indirectly coun-
 tenanced social equality among the
 races, they were confident that Thomas
 Jefferson had-and, from their point of view, Jefferson was Digger man than Cleveland. A few days ago Representa- tive Bartholdt of Missouri. in the course of a speech in the House. read extracts from a book published more than half g century ago containing recollections and opinions of Julius Melbourn, who was born slave in North Carolina in l79o and given his freedom by his owner, who educated him. Meibourn states in this | book that he visited Monticello. Je1er- sons home, in July, 1915; that the Vir- ginia statesman received him with mark ed courtesy; that he remained in the reighborhood of Monticello for a week. and that before he left he received a
 card from Mir. Jefferson inviting him to dine at Monticello with the Sage and a few of his friends. He says that he &C., cepted the invitation and had the distin-
 gushing honor of sitting at the table with Mir. Jefferson, Chief Justice Mar shall. William Wirt and other guests. It is possible this is a true statement, al- though, so far as is known. 1t rests en-
 tirely upon the unsupported assertion of Melbourn. Our esteemed contemporary. The Springfield Republican, almost goes into raptures over the revelations in Mel bourns book. The negros narrative"
 1t says, bears every mark of truthful
 ness. There Is no reason to doubt the truth of Melbourn's story That Is the New England way of accepting as fact
 every legend and romance which seem ingiy give substance to preconceive1 mo- tions and reckless assumptions. That
 was Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's way
 when she wrote Uncle Toms Cabin " There Is every reason, in fact, for doubt | ing the truth of the story, which runs | counter to all the customs and condi- | tions which prevailed in Southern soci- | ety at that day as well as in this. Not everything that is written In books Is | true. It would be reasonable to assume. l In view of the social distinctions which | existed in Virginia in the days of Jeffer- | son. that the Sage of Monticello did not extend his hospitality to a former slave. | There is, indeed. the assertion of our | Springfield contemporary to the contrary notwithstanding, very substantial | grounds for doubting the truth of Mel | bourn's statement. Something more than his unsupported declaration will be nec- | essary to convince people of a practical | turn of mind that Jefferson practlced so. | cial equality with the Afro-Americans of | his day Why should Melbourn be more | worthy of credence than Mrs. Stowe?

ABACKYARD DYL.
BY WALTER BROWNE.

(Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pup. CoJ
 There never was such row for sos. sip as that formed by the DE tenemen. % houses of two streets on the upper West side of New York City: This row was inhabited by 'back-1atters, tnat IS. those whose windows, except sucn as opened into air shafts lookeo 1vsr 'neu a array of beer bottles butter dishes ana broken flower pots, across the dismal back yards of the houses in either street
 These rubbish-bestrewn back yards were separated only aEd oy 10 s9w the SKsa- Svia- ing lire were planted huge masts, to which were attached pulleys and ropes. On the regular washing day or the col, ony these ropes were croWdeo "itn all manner of garments.
 Many an interesting story might he read by a careful study Of the array or household linen hung out to dry eacD possiping tanitresses of the telements. who weekly had the exclusive use or the back yards. and who habituaily assem- bled to exchange views ana 10 swap scandals over the broken fences. had learned to estimate the social standing of their tenants by the contents of their clothes lines. By experienced eyes these fiuttering rags could be read almost as accurateiy as the signal flags of a bat tleship are understood by naval experts
 It was a pink silk undergarment which one day caused the greatest excitement among the back-f1atters. and brought all
 
 the broken fence, to discuss the extraor- dinary apparition which had suddenly is- sued from the window of a third floor room.
 The line which the costly and unusual garment now adorned had hitherto been regarded as one of the meanest and most shabby in the row. It had never before risen to the level of anything higher than the merest rags, always scrupulously clean, it must be admitted, but of such cheap quality as stamped the wearer as an extremely poor woman. The third floor back had therefore. as yet no so- cial standing.
 When the pink silk mystery was fol- lowed by a pair of pajamas. mems paja- mas. an article entirely strange and un- known to the dwelers in the row, ex- citement was at fever heat. and Mrs. Maioney, the caretaker of that particu- lar house, was called upon to instantly explain.
 All she knew was that the room was rented to a pretty, pale-faced young girl. who had stated that her occupation was derstood that she painted pictures and things. and was naturally very poor and rot to be relied upon for the regular payment of her rent.
 All the gossippers agrqed that they were face to face with a most disgraceful scandal, and. tnHsmuch as the young man was clearly mo better than she should be-" 1t was suggested that Mrs. Maloney should acquaint the landlord of the tenements that his clothes lines were being defiled with mems unmentionables and request his tenant to seek other quarters.
 Before any definite action had been ta- ken, however, the scandallZed watchers dismay by the appearance on that amaz- ing clothes line from the third floor back of white string ,f baby linen of the most elegant and expensive style. Then.

LOADED RESOLUTIONS.

- AccOrolng To The WaSnlnStOH CoTEe- spondent of The New York Herald the Democrats of the House. under the as- tute leadership or Mir Williams, have caught the Republicans mapping by the introduction of two resolutions which are fully loaded. The correspondent thus speaks of them:
 The first is designed to show. in an official way, that while there are, per- haps, thousands of trusts and combinn- tions that are illegal, because in restraint of interstate commerce, the attorney general has not proceeded against any Of them in compliance with the mandate of the supreme court. What MT. Will Hams is seeking to show Is a confession from the attorney-general over his own signature that he Is keeping his promise to the business interests of the country not to run amuck, while. according to Mir. Williams's reasoning, it is his duty to run amuck.'
 ''The second resolution. if 1t is passed and its terms are complied with by the attorney-general will show what data indicating the existence of an illegal combination in restraint of interstate commerce in coal were filed with the attorney-general and that he made re- port. in which he took the position that the Sherman antitrust law and the in- terstate commerce act did not reach
  ceedings were instituted before the in terstate commerce commission and an in- vestigation, which is still in progress. was begun"
 Both these resolutions refer to matters which are not only of public interest and concern. but which affect the credit of the administration and the government. The Attorney General. as we learn. has already informed the chairman of the committee which reported the resolu- tions that it will be incompatible with the public interest to give the desired information Naturally he would look at 1t in that way. but he would have como much nearer the truth If he had said that the information asked for would be incompatible with the interests Of the administration and the Republican party for that is what it amounts to when we get down to hard facts.
 There has been great deal of blow and bluster on the part of the adminis- tration about suppressing trusts and H. legal combinations but about all that has been done is mouth work. By talking dpout WndL they propose 10 do, and by making loud promises the Republicans hope to make political capital for use in the next campaign, but their scheuie has been ono of suppression and procrasti- nation with hope of staying off unpleas- ant revelations till after the election. Unfortunately for them they left John Sharpe Williams out of the calculation.
