will show TO us or TO an honest com

Enterprise correspondent knows any
thing, he knows that Tuskegee, Hamp-

not so much to prepare boys and girls
to be American citizens but TO make
the Negro a good hand in some of the
skilled trades Booker T. started for
this. For this he begged himself into
prominence and a good sum for his
school. The dispensing Of this filthy
lucre has made a few newspapers liv-
ing by preying upon the credulity of
the public, instead of giving value for
value. editors willing to suck at any
teet, sell anything, even their wives
lose sight of the idea Of Tuskegee and
the purpose of Booker T. Washington.
That Booker T. Washington is prepar-
ing the Negro in the South to be a bet
ter field hand and a skilled mechanic
goes without saying. With this in
struction he can earn a living and do
more. The Negro is more profitable to
the planters. hence the tolerance of the |

ANIMALS ENJOY TELEGRAPH
Monkeys Perform Many Complicated
Evolutions on Wires in Brit
ish East Africa.

In British East Africa the animal
kingdom looks upon the 2,19O miles of
telegraph wire strung through that re-
gion as an innovation to be utilized.
The wires arouse curiosity and stimu-
late experiment The latest official re-
port speaks of monkeys as incorrigi-
BILE. They have ceased to pay much
attention to the locomotive and even
the shrieks of the whistle are not per-
mitted to interfere much with the fun
of swinging on the wire. Three wires
are strung on the same line of poles
for 5S4 miles between the Indian ocean
and Victoria Nyanza; giving an oppor-
tunity for complicated performances.
In the Kikuyu forest the monkeys in
their evolutions sometimes succeed in
twisting the wires together. Even the
giraffe sometimes applies muscular en-
ergy to the bracket on which the wire
is fastened to twist it around, stretch
ing the wire and causing 1t to foul
with the other wires. The hippopota-
mus rubs up against the poles ana
sometimes knocks them over.

YEAST USED BY ANCEENTS.
Its Germs or Spores Were Found
Ahoat in the Air and
Utilized.

The yeast employed by the ancients
in making bread was probably of the
same kind as the Israelites of the days
of the great Pharaoh the oppressor
used, calling it "leaven." This was
what is known nowadays as wild
yeast, it's germs or spores being afioat
everywhere in the air.
A bit of dough was preserved out OF
each batch prepared for the ovens, and
when this was added to the next dough
the yeast contained in it quickly spread
through the whole, only little bxing
required to Heaven the whole lump"
But when the people of Israel were
wandering in the wilderness tLay did
not always have yeast handy, and so
were obliged to eat unleavene- bread.
The best examples of OH Roman
bread have been found at Pompeii, a
town that was destroyed ay an erup-
ton of Vesuvius in the year 70 A. d.
Forty-eight loaves were dug out of one
bakeshop. These specimens markedly
resembled those found In the Egyptian
tombs and were originally composed Of
ground barley.
The ancient cliff jewellers of the
southwest raised Indian corn and made
their bread Of 1t. Once in awhile a
loaf of it is discovered in one Of their
deserted houses, and speculation Is
naturally INDUCED as to the degree OF
its antiquity. Perhaps it Is 300 or 500
years old In that extremely dry cli-
mate 1t has not decayed.

What the Appointments of the Family
Rallying Place Should Be to In
sure Comfort and Peace.

The name living-room is one which is
coming to be applied to room which
is variously known by many other
names. Every house has its living
room, whether it be called library, sit
ting-room, back parlor, reception hall,
or what not. 1t is the room where the
family congregate-where arOunQ the
big table, by the light of the green
shaded drop, mother does her mending,
and father his reading, where Bob
sails piratical seas with Capt Kidd,
and Mabel writes her essay, while Fido
hunts rats in Dreamland on the rug
before the hearth.
Unless the house is very large, the
Nving-room is also the library. How
ever, few or many the books may be,
It is here that they should be kept, for
It is here that they will be for the most
i,art read; and if properly arranged on
ow book shelves built in under win
.sows, or in the chimney corner, they
will give the room an air of culture
and refinement. Whether one has time
Cor much reading or not, the presence
t,f books, we'll disposed along the walls,
pervades the air of the room and gives
1t an atmosphere at once suggestive
and satisfying.
This room should be the largest in
the house. 1t is the one room that is
always open and inviting to all MEM
beers of the household. 1t is the room
that should give the keynote to the
rest of the house, and in relation to
which all other rooms should be as
planets to the sun. 1t should be given
a good outlook. If possible, and prefer
ably southern or western exposure.
where in winter the sun will shine
nearly all day long, and make it the
fountain source of cheer and bright
ness 1t is the winter exposure that
should be thought of, inasmuch as in
the summer life is largely spent out Of
doors.
AS the living-room should be the
keynote of the house, so the fireplace
should be the keynote of the living
room. If the house is small or means
limited, and only one fireplace can be
provided, the place for that one is the
l,vipg-room. Above all things, let it
re broad and deep, and capable of burn
.0g logs-cord wood cut once for mod
crate size rooms and large enough for
3 full length piece in large room-with
great iron or brass andirons. If wood
is not obtainable, coal makes less in
teresting, but unitarian fire, but it
should be burned in basket crate, with
the andirons, which allows the fireplace
opening to retain the generous dimen-
sions of the wood fire, without too large
CRATE area. Gas logs are a modern
iabor-saving device, which pay in COM
fort in inverse ratio to the labor saved.

Under date of January 10, 1897, DR..
Hartman received the following letter:
"My wife has been a sufferer from
complication of diseases for the past
twenty-five years. Her case has baffied
the skill of some Of the most noted ply
sicians. One of her worst troubles was
chronic constipation of several years
standing. She was also passing through
that most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life.

her case. You advised a course of
Peruna and Manalin, which we at once

aroma of the burning logs, which they
profess in appearance to be, and they
should not be substituted for a real
fire, except in dire necessity. Worse
than the logs are the asbestos CRATES,
with their cheap and tawdry setting
and fat forwardness. Anything more
ugly, more unromantic, and less likely
to inspire one with anything more than
the feelings of an unsympathetic world
can hardly be imagined.
The mantel should be broad and SIM
pie. This is very often entirely OF
brick, even to the shelves. A heavy
wood shelf, with bold massive brackets,
simple in outline and with the m. intel
facing of brick, of color to harmonic
with the wall treatment, makes a very
appropriate mantel for a living-room.
The brick should always return to the
wall at the sides of the Chimney breast,
and the runners should never he cased
with wood, as this gives feeling of in
security, as of strong (nearing) mate
rial, being contained by weaker one.
If domestic happiness has a god, it is
the fireplace, and SO are we still fire
worshipers." The hearth" fittingIy
typifies the home, and around it clus-
ter the dearest memories of earth. It
is home. In the playing light and
shadow of cracking flames we medi-
tate of the past, philosophize ON the
present, and dream of the future.
Around its glowing embers, "a world OF
love shut in, a world of strife shut out"
we feel a wealth of peace. comfort and
satisfying happiness. There is nothing
in all the length and breadth of the
house that will be more satisfying than
this essence of the home, the living
room fireplace.
