and saying what he would not say.
But men in all professions and kinds
Of business are doing this. Possibly
there are ministers who would critlcise
DR.. Buckley in the same way. In the
pulpit, as on the lecture platform or in
politics or in the professions, each man
manifests his individuality In some
way which may appear to be ridicu-
lous or serious according to the point
of view. Those who make up the con-
gregation are to be the judges whether
the minister suits the hearers or not.
Ministers sometimes do silly things
and not infrequently are harsh in their
criticism Of men and policies they do
not like. They must accord the same
privilege to others. But they can do
this without being clowns, although a
clowns work may pay more.

In Florida on the first day of July
last "Jim Grow" street car act went
into effect. 1t was apparently rather
drastic in its provisions, for, In order
to facilitate enforcement Of the de-
creed separation Of the races, it con-
ferred police powers upon the con-
ductors. In some Of the cities Of the
State the act produced interesting,
even amusing, complications. Thus at
Jacksonville, where one Of the two
street car companies serving the city
is largely owned by colored people, the
management assigned the cooler and
pleasanter front seats to the negro pa
irons and relegated the whites to the
rear section. The other company,
which is understood 10 have opposed
the measure during Its tendency in the
Legislature, was placed under a boy
colt by the colored people for obeying
the law in the usual way, and a sim
liar movement seems to have been in
augurated in other communities. At
the instigation of q colored law firm
test case was arranged without de-
lay to determine the validity Of the
act. The firm in question contended
that certain provisions of 1t were not
only contrary to the State constitution,
but in conflict with the second section
Of the fourteenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution, which section
reads as follows: mo State shall make
or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citizens
of the United States, nor shall any
State deprive any person Of life, lib
erty or property without due process
Of law, nor deny to any person within
Its Jurisdiction the equal protection of
the laws" With remarkable speed the
case has passed through the various
stages of such litigation, and the Su-
preme Court Of the State, sustaining
the judgment of the Circuit Court, has
pronounced the act void on the
grounds alleged by the colored attor.
neys. In view of the decision in the
Berea College case, where the Ken
lucky law abolishing and prohibiting
racial co-education was upheld, this
Florida judgment assumes particular
interest. We know, Of course, that the
"Jim Grow" arrangement cannot be
applied by States to interstate passen'
ger service, but its constitutionality
within State lines has not been gener
ally questioned, and Richmond has
been debating the proposition to estab
lish separate public parks for the col
ored residents on the theory that the
more completely the races are separ
ated the better for both. The Florida
decision may not be blow to all "Jim
Grow" legislation, but 1t is unquestion
ably a blow at certain varieties of tnat
legislation.

Ra.pberry Tapioca Pudding.

Raspberry Tapioca Pudding.
For a small pudding use one quart
Of raspberries, half a cupful Of tapi-
oca, half a cupful Of sugar, half tea
spoonful of salt, one tablespoonful Of
lemon juice, and one cupful and half
of cold water. Measure the tapioca
and turn 1t on the molding board.
Crush 1t as fine as possible with the
rolling-pin Now wash 1t, and soak it
in the cupful and half of cold water
for three hours or longer-better over
night, If there be time. Put the soaked
taploca in a double boiler and cook it
until 1t is perfectly clear. If 1t has
been soaked over night it will cook In
half an hour, but If soaked for only
three hours 1t will require cooking for
an hour and a half When the tapioca
Is clear, add the sugar, salt and lemons
then take the dish from the fire and
stir in the raspberries. Rinse a bowl
with cold water and pour the pudding
into it. Set away to cool. At serving
time turn out the pudding on fat
dish and surround 1t with whipped
cream; or 1t may be served with plain

To Keep Green Beans.

The present system Of canning has
made 1t almost unnecessary for the
housekeeper to study methods, since
1t is cheaper to buy, above all, If it
can be done in quantities at wholesale
rates, than to spend time in prepara-
ton. But in remote districts where
buying is hardly practicable, string
beans may be treated in two ways.
They can be cooked thoroughly, but
without any seasoning, and canned in
glass or tin, being careful to the utmost
in admitting no air, as vegetables are
more difficult to keep well than fruits.
The second method is to put layer Of
beans in deep stone pot and then a
layer Of salt, adding day by day till
the jar is full. Cover closely, and
when to be used, soak over night like
dried beans, in order to remove the
salt.

Economical Cooking.

Shall we have to go to the army to,
learn how to cook food cheaply? Ex-
periments are being made by the Com
missary Department of our army in
what is called fireless cooking. Food
is put over the fire and boiled few
minutes, then, while still boiling, the
kettle is placed inside of box that
is made with double walls and the
space between the walls filled with
powdered cork, or even, with hay. This
keeps the heat in, as the walls Of the
refrigerator keep heat out. After one
or two hours, meat, beans, rice and
other foods were taken out perfectly
cooked, though some experience Is
needed to know just how long 1t re-
quires to cook them well, but there Is
little danger Of food burning, If left in
too long. What a boon one Of these
freless stoves would be to a farmers

While the funds may be employed
for UNCONVENTIONAL schools. they will
be employed without sectarian dis

though they cannot be employed for
giving specifically theological in
struction.
"In distributing the funds, the
board will aim especially to favor
