Labor at Panama

Recent figures from the census bu.
reaR say that there are now more than
nine millions of people of the colored
race in the United States. Gen. Peter
Z. Hams, who has had extensive ex-
perience in public works on a large
scale and has been member of the
Nicaragua canal commission and later
OF the lSthmian canal commission, is
earnestly in favor of the employment
OF thousands of the black men of the
Southern states in digging the water
way at Panama.
He believes they can endure the eli.
mate and will be exceedingly useful
IN that enterprise, and he holds that
mere Of the money paid for toll on that
channel between the Atlantic and the
Pacific will come back to the adyan-
tage of this country in one way and
another if they are employed than if
gangs Of coolies or West Indian labor
ers were sent to the isthmus. His
arguments will find many friends and
Eupporters.-New York Tribune.

Fatal Music.

Richard Mansfield is a stickler for
every little point in the presentation
Of his plays, but now and then the
unexpected happens in such a way as
to provoke a smile from one who is
not considered the most humorous of
actors. In the final scene of "A Peri.
sian Romance" Mansfield, as Baron
Chevrial, falls dead at supper, amid
the talking and music. The doctor in
the play calls out: Stop the music.
The Baron Is dead" and the curtain
falls.
On one occasion Mansfield was play
ing a one-night stand in a small coun.
try town where the music of the local
orchestra was atrOciOuS At the sun.
per scene Mansfield fell dead as usual.
but the actor who was playing the part
OF the doctor cried out:
Stop the music! 1t has killed the
BarOn!"
Even Mansfield smiled.

Never has the demand for tasteful
jackets been greater than at the pres
ent time, This one is CminentIy
graceful and attractive at the same
time that ii is most comfortable to
the wparer and lends fashion OF wear
Ing with skirt to match. The model
IS made Of white batistc with collar
of inserted tucking and trimming Of
lace frills; but all materials in use
for garments Of the sort are equally
appropriate, the thin wash silks, the
long list Of lawns and batistes and,
for cooler days, the very attractive
and scrviCcabIe thin woods.
The jacket is made with fronts and
backs and is shaped by means Of
shoulder and undcr-arm seams. The
backs are cut of at the waist, giving
bolero effect, but the fronts form
long points which can be allowed to
hang or be knOtted at the waist as
preferred for garments of the sort and
the sleeves are loose and wide, cut
to form points at their lower edge.

broad band of black velvet tied in a
fat, square bow at the side.

ring in Theodore's voice as he said
this. 81 don't think care to look
at your cellar, Mr.. Crosby"
"Oh, but you must see it. This is
an extraordinary cellar. There's not
another one like it. l insist, now"
Whether Theodore read my thoughts
or not, he drew back in haste. By a
quick movement | jumped between
him and the front door.
What does this mean, sir?" he
asked.
1T means, my dear fellow, that you
have got to 90 into that cellar and
stay there until Ruth comes back"

A Good Summer Drink.

An excellent summer drink which
Is very popular in England. and might
be drunk to larger extent in this
country, is rhubarb wine.
For rhubarb wine it is necessary to
have ripe rhubarb. Into one gallon
of boiling water put eight pounds of
rhubarb, in thin slices; place in a
pan, and cover closely with a thick
cloth or blanket, and stir three times
a day for week. Then strain
through a cloth, and add four pounds
of lump sugar, the juice of two lem
Ons and the rind Of one.
To fine" the wine, take one ounce
OF isinglass and one pint of liquor and
dissolve at slow heat. Add to the
rest Of the liquor when quite cold
and cask it. Do not bung the cask
until the fermentation is over. The
quality of this wine improves very
much with keeping.

Good Way to Serve oranoe jelly,

Care and a little time are needed
to serve orange jelly in the following
way: Select even-sized oranges and
cut them in halves. Carefully remove
the pulp, leaving the compartments
unbroken. Fill every other space with
thin orange jelly, poured in with a
spoon, and put the shells on ice until
the jelly is firm. Then fill the empty
compartments with stiff whipped
cream and serve.
