FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIONS
c. Schumacher & Co. say

From the sharp break In exchange 1t appears that
there will be no further gold exports at least for
the present our banks and bankers have been
keeping large balances in Europe because thew
could obtain higher rates there for their money
We believe that soon as exchange started TO de-
cline these balances drawn. and In this way
large amounts OF bills were forced on unwilling
market, causing prime demand sterling sell at
4S1I5 on Thursday. a decline OF 80 points in i've
days. 1t is likely that exchange should rally after
absorbing these liberal offerings. but IL the ad-
vance should be short lived. The enormous bal
of trade now in our favor and large crops
pretty well assured will cause bankers to use
their ninety day credits the first time opportu-
nifty offers. Money rates continue easy at all
financial centres, but with crops maturing and
more activity in stock market money should
harden.

NEGRO CHURCH is STRONG
Colored Organization Formed in At
RIGA Gets Beyond Control
Of Founder.

1t has long been known by those ia
miliar with the negro in America that
he can be appealed to through his emo
tional and religious side more quickly
and surely than in any other way. This
has recently had startling demonstra-
ton in South Africa. where an ALIEN
bracing union of the natives has been
brought about through the establish
ment of native church. Four years ago
a Wesleyan preacher of Pretoria left his
denomination and began the organiza-
ton of a united colored church under
the name of the Church of Ethfopia."
The idea spread swiftly through South
Africa. surmounting tribal barriers.
The church soon got beyond the execu-
tive control of its founder, and aid was
sought from the African Methodists of
this country. SO firm has the union be-
come that it is said to be assuming po-
litical significance, many of the younger
negroes having raised the cry of africa
for the Africans!" and threatened to
turn the whites out of the colonies.

RACIAL PECULIARITIEs,

The Belgians are the greatest potato
eaters in the world, and the Irish come
second.
There are words in the Chinese Ian
guage which have as many as 40 diff
ferent meanings.
Alcoholism Is extremely rare in the
Italian army. In 1901, the latest for
which figures are available, only rs
cases were admitted to the hospitals.
Leather shoes are seldom worn in
Algeria by the natives Of Arabian
descent. Their footwear consists of
pieces of camel's hide bound on the
feet with thongs, or of sandals of
braided Irvine.
There are 3S2,ooo,000 Chinese speak
ing the same language, making Chi
nese the most spoken language There
are so many dialects which are entire
ly different that they seem scarcely to
belong to the same tongue. The in
habitants of Mongolia and Thibet can
barely understand the dialect of the
people in Picking. Putting Chinese
aside, the most spoken languages are
as follows, in millions: English, 12O;
German, 10; Russian, 68; Spanish, a.;
Portuguese. 80.

REAL RULERS OF ESOPUS.
r-Year-Old Parker Hall and His
Little Sister Mary Run Farm
and Home.

Parker Hall, four, and Mary Hall, two.
the grandchildren OF Judge Parker, now
have become targets for every camera
fiend and every sort of photographer
that comes this way, and all seem to find
their way to Esopus where the children
live during the summer.
The New York American says that
Parker, the boy, is sure enough type
of young America He is brave and bold
always on his feet, hates to be awakened
in the morning and breads the hour whel
he is told to get ready for prayers and
bed. Once he had curls that hung around
his neck, but he got rid of them. They
looked pretty enough, but he was teased
and called baby" and pretty little girl
until the shears had to be applied.
In disposition Parker is the gentlest OF
American boys. He obeys every com.
mand, is polite in company, knows wher
not to ask for second biscuit at the
table and can play mumblety-peg with
his nurse and make that gentle young
woman bury her nose in sand and dir
while roofing for the peg.
He knows his A B C's, but he won't tel
anybody about his lessons He says
when he goes to school-that is, when &
governess is assigned to him regularly
he is going to study law and be judge
just like his ''daypaw" is.
Little Mary is big two-year-old girl
but she has not learned to utter the

slightest word. Only mothers intui-
ton can penetrate her mind and tell
what she wants when she makes sound
that says she wants something. But she
is as playful as kitten, and can run
almost as fast as her big brother
She is the light of her mothers eyes;
the boy is the one object that can make
Judge Parker forget his dignity, make
him get down on his all tours and butt
heads with his grandson like a playful
goat.
Parker Hall would be a second Tom
Sawyer if he had Huckleberry Finn for
a companion. But at Rosemount there
is no one to play with except his little
sister and grown people. In Kingston
where he lives, he has little opportunity
to get on the streets for fear he may be
run down by a wagon or street car or
be attacked by a dog.
Should Judge Parker be elected Presi-
dent, it is not unlikely that Parkers
father, Rev. Charles Mercer Hall, would
abandon his parish at Kingston for the
social life that would await him at the
capital. In winter Mr. Hall lives in
Kingston, in summer he has resided in
the lodge at Judge Parker's.
Parker Hall would give the Roosevelt
boys good race. if they should visit
him. in the way of showing fearlessness
and having fun. What he wants to be
is steamboat captain. Next to that he
would like to drive an OK wagon.
AS regular as the morning comes and
the oxen are yoked and driven to the
hay field, where they take. on a load
Parker Hall is at the gate begging for a
ride. If he could just get on the tongue
Of the wagon and pop the whip as he sees
the driver do and call out: Gee there.
Brandy; w'op, there Spec; git along, git
along!"- he would give up all in
terest in the white house now and for
ever just for days such pleasure.

MOST CHARMING OF WOMEN
It Is She Who Can Be Amiable and
Agreeable at All Times and
to All Persons.

1t is good thing for woman to be
beautiful 1t is her duty to be, as far
as she can, we'll dressed and we'll
groomed But beauty may fade with
the passing of years. Bright eyes may
be dimmed and rosy cheeks may grow
pale; the luster of softly curling love-
locks may be siIvered and many tears
may chase smiles from laughing lips.
Poverty and loving service to others
may deprive woman of the where
withal for pretty gowning. But if She
once be mistress OF the art of agTeea-
bility she can never cease to attract
and to possess a hold on the interests
of life around her.
To be agreeable a woman must De
also wildly alive to things outside of
herself and sympathizer in whatever
concerns the fancies of others, old and
young. She may have opinions of her
own, but she must learn to hear the
opinions of others and to accord them
full weight and value And this will
render her infinitely more agreeable
than the obtrusion of views which she
may, hold, even though those view 8
may be eminently correct.
The agreeable woman must be a
good listener on any subject. AS a
hostess it is her especial province,
around her own board or in her own
drawing room, to deftly set the ball Of
conversation rolling. But having
once done so, the truly agreeable wo1n-
an is not thereafter heard for her
much speaking. She only supplies the
gentle flip necessary to prevent stag
nation and to keep the interchange of
friendly gossip and thought on the
plane of bright and sparkling wit and
humor.
The amiability is not confined {.
class, age or station. 1t may be attained
to in overlooking measure by the hum
blest as by the highest, by the oldest
as we'll as by the youngest. 1t is the
one art that is worth more to it's pos
SCISSOR than Misunderstanding Dis
patch.

vines if they would learn the differ
ence in appearance. They have SIM
ply to remember that the Virginia
creeper, or woodbine, has five leaves
and the ivy but three.
Children should be early taught to
tell the harmless woodbine from the
ivy. The woodbine has five leaves
deeply serrated and are not poisonous.
The ivy has but three leaves. The
older leaves are buntly notched and
the young leaves have smooth edges.
The poison oak, or poison sumach,
has bright red stem, the edges of the
leaves are not notched, and the leaves
are much smaller than those of the
common sumach.

HAS UNIQUE ALARM CLOCK
Tyrolese Clockmaker Invents Instru-

A Tyrolese, Switzerland, clockmaker

original application Of the alarm to the
clocks made in the Black forest possess

cowherds of the Tyrol and Switzerland
