Meant the same Thing.

Sir Philip Burne-Jones, who has
written a book in praise of America,
is a relative of the poet Kiplng, says
the New York Tribune.
The collection of paintings that Sir
Philip showed in America in the course
of his visit included portrait of Kip
ling, and as he stood by this portrait
one day the young man said:
"Kipling talked about the sea while ]
was painting him. He was enthusiast
tic over q weeks cruise he had once
made on a battleship. He described
the battleship's Sunday morning serv-
ice, every sailor not on duty being
there, and, after it was over, Kipling
said to one of the jackies
Are you obliged to attend these
Sunday morning services
"'N-no-o, said the sailor, not ex-
actly obliged, but our grog would be
stopped If we didn't"

The Turn in Stanley's Life,

1t was in the middle of October, 1869,
while roaming about Spain, that the
late Henry M. Stanley received a tele-
gram from James Gordon Pennett,
then in Paris, urgently summonmg
him to the French capital. Public feel
ing in England and America had been
deeply stirred by conflicting reports of
the safety of DR.. Livingstone, then
supposed by some to be travelling, and
by others to be. dead, in the interior.
In his book, How 1 Found Living
stone" Stanley thus relates what &C.
Cured upon his arrival in Paris:
Il went straight to the Grand Hotel,
and knocked at the door of Mr.. Ben
nett's room.
Come in 1 heard voice say.
Entering, 1 found Mr.. Bennett in
bed.
WHO are you?" he asked.
My name is Stanley l answered.
All. yes! sit down; l have impor-
tant business on hand for you.
After throwing over his shoulders
his robe de chambre, Mr.. Bennett ask
ed, Where do you think Livingstone
is?
II really do not know, sir
DO you think he is alive :;
Z" He way be, and he may not be- 1
answered.
wen, 1 think he is alive, and that
he can be found, and L am going to
send you to find him.
What said 1. Do you really think
1 can find DR.. Livingstone? Do you
mean me to go to Central Africa?
Yes. l mean that vol shall go,
and find him wherever you may hear
that he is, and to get what news yol
can of him, and perhaps-delivering
himself thoughtfully and deliberately =
the old man may be in want. Take
enough with you to help him should
he require it. OF course you will act
according to your plans, and dc what
you think best-but find Livingstone.' "
This was the turning point in Star
ley's life-the flood tide in his affairs
which was destined to bear him to
fame and fortune

A dispatch from Morristown, N. j.,
says Nero, a large Newfoundland dog
owned by John Newcomb, of Dover
was so heartbroken yesterday over his
carelessness in dropping into the canal
a luncheon he was carrying that he
nearly killed himself in his efforts to re-
gain the parsels, and refused to come
out of the water till they were fished
up.
Yesterday Nero started from his
masters home for his shop with a
lunch pail and some coffee in a glass
bottle having a handle by which it could
be carried. He suddenly seemed to re-
member that he could shorten the trip
quarter of a mile by going across lots
and over the foot bridge of the canal
The bridge is a narrow plank, and IN
crossing it Nero had to be so watchtul
of his steps that he forgot to keep his
jaws tightly shut on the coffee bottle
and it dropped into the water. For
getting that he had the lunch pail in his
mouth, Nero jumped in after the coffee,
and thus lost both burdens.
Then he began to plunge and swim
around franticalIy in the canal. The
accident had been seen by two boys,
and after they had watched the dog
swim around for half an hour they
went to the shop and told Mr.. New
comb about it. The latter hurried over
and found the dog swimming about
plunging here and there, endeavoring
to get the lost luncheon. He called the
dog to come out of the water, but Nero
would not leave the canal. All efforts
to get him to the shore were fruitless.
The dog was becoming exhausted, but
still he swan around, yelping piteously
grieVed and nearly heartbroken at
having met with the accident.
Mr.. Newcomb saw that the only way
to get the dog out of the water would
be to fish up the lost luncheon. After
about fifteen minutes fishing the din
ner pail was pulled out, and after that
the coffee bottle. Nero then consented
to come out of the water, but was so
weak he could not crawl out, and had
to be hauled up on land. The dog had
been swimming about for over an
hour.

IN SEARCH OF A CANDIDATE.

Is there any foundation for the re-
port that the purpose of the visit of
Gov. Odell of New York to Europe is
to induce Gen. Horace Porter, ambas-
sador to France, to become a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for Governor of New York? Gov. Odell
is chairman of the Republican Execu-
tive Committee of his state and seems
to think it is his duty to name the tick
ct as well as TO manage the campaign.
The truth probably is that Odell isn't
as popular as he once was with his
party, and he is afraid that Senator
Plat will get control of the party ma
chinery again. The Senator's candidate
for Governor is former Secretary of
War, Elihu Root.
But does Mr.. Root want the nomi-
nation? 1t is doubtful if he does. He
said he left the cabinet because he
wanted to get back to his profession
and make some money. If that was
his reason for leaving the cabinet,
why should he accept nomination for
Governor. The salary is but little
larger than is that of Secretary of
War and the honor is no greater.
And why should Gen. Porter give up
place that pays $4,000 a year, and in
which he is very comfortable, for an
! office that doesn't pay as much and is
full of worrying troubles? Perhaps
Senator Platt and Gov. Odell think
| they can pull and haul the really dis
tinguished men of their party about as
they please. If this is their view it will
be interesting to notice how well they
succeed in their efforts to induce Mr..
Root and Gen. Porter to become can
didates for the nomination for Cover

Gen. Funston declares that he did
swim the Bag-Bag river, in the Philip
pines. The other day a critic said
the story must necessarily be untrue,
because Funston couldn't swim. Now,
let the doughty Kansan end all doubt
about the matter by going on the road
with tank lecture. in the midst of
which he plunges into a tank on the
stage and demonstrates to the au-
dience that he can swim. Something
of the kind ought to make a hit.

Gov. Blanchard of louisiana proposes
to follow up his anti-lynching words
with anti-lynching deeds. The Attor-
ney General has been directed to draw
a bill, to be presented to the Legis-
lature, providing for a change of venue
in lynching cases. Under the proposed
law, lynchers would not be brought for
trial before a jury of their neighbors but
taken to some distant section of the
state where, presumably. there would
be no prejudice with respect to the mat
ter on one side or the other. In all
probability this scheme would have the
effect of securing a greater number OF
convictions in lynching cases.

A GROWN OF GLORY

uFiOuS Hair.


uFiouS Hair.
1t has been truly said that the
browning glory of our race is a lux
urious head of hair.
1t used to be thought that this was
one of the blessings which the gods
bestowed capriciously and it is only
recently that scientists have discov-
cred that its beauty is dependent upon
the absence of a minute germ which
flourishes in the hair follicles, where
it destroys the life of the hair.
To restore this life and kill the
germs which cause the mischief is the
mission of Newbro's Herpicide.
Herpicide surely kills the germs and
is the best hair dressing on the mar
ket.

That ones life may literally as well
as fguratively hang upon a single hair
is illustrated in the case of James Nc
Donald, on trial at Bedford, Ind. Some
time ago Miss Sarah c. Schafer was
found murdered in Bedford. The only
clue that could be found to suggest the
identity Of the murderer was furnish
ed by three hairs found clutched in the
dead woman's hand. James Mcdonald
was arrested on suspicion. A micro
scopic examination of the hairs in the
dead womans hand showed that one
of them was like the hairs on McDon-
AIDS head. On this hair, therefore, it
may be said the mans fate hangs.

Inc Kew. X. -. StllSOn, CnancellOf OF
the Morris Brown College of Atlanta, in
an address at the Institutional African
Methodist Episcopal Church in Chicago
on Monday night, said there We're $4,000
| negro men, women and children in that
| city who ought to be started down
! South at once. He said that they We're
not able to meet conditions in that city
| The inference was that they could meet
/ them in the South.
The education they have received in
Chicago and the impressions they have
| gained there unfit them for the South.
! They are not wanted here. They would
only render worthless those with whom
they came in contact.
The inference from what the Rev.
! S;tinson said is that they imbibed no
lions in the Northern city that made
! them practically unsuited 10 their sta
| ton in life, because he told them they
/ should make their daughters good cooks
1 and their sons good carpenters. 1t
might be possible to make the colored
| v omen good cooks in Chicago, if they
were disposed to work faithfully and
! conscientiously. which we infer they
are not. but it is hardly possible for
the negro men to become good carpen-
| tiers in that city, for the reason that
| the labor unions will not permit them
| to become mechanics.
But why is it that these teachers OF
the negroes never advise them to be
come good farmers? There are millions
OF acres of unoccupied lands in tbs
South that are waiting for somebody tc
cultivate them. There is no good rea-
son why negroes shouldn't become
prosperous farmers and land owners
A few days ago we gave an account OF
a negro who went to Kansas from Ken
lucky twenty years ago, having bu
ninety cents in his pocket on his arriv'
a! there. He went to work for forty
cents a day. and now he is the owne
or one of the finest farms in Kansas
a farm containing 500 acres, every acr,
worth more than $125. He has, besides
a large general store and a larg,
amount of property in stocks and bonds
What this man has done In Kansas
thousands of negroes could do here II
Georgia--if they We're willing to be in
dustrious and thrifty. Instead of work
ing on a farm, however-even thei
own farm-the great majority of then
would rather live in town. wher
they pick up a precarious living doing
odd jobs. They would rather work TO
small wages in a town than take thu
chances of owning a farm by living il

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician Of Rome,
Georgia, went through a food expert
enee which he makes public:
ut was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food,
and also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food is WON
derful rebuiluer and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
81 was in such a low state that /
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains of this state:
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact was not quite as well as
when left home. My food absolutely
refused to sustain me and it became
plain that must change; then be-
gan to use Grape Nut food and in two
weeks could walk mile without
the least fatigue and in five weeks re-
turned to my home and practice, taxi
ing up hard work again. Since that
time / have felt as wen and strong as
ever did in my life
