passed upon the Negro in certain
capacities or callings which are
often the source of his living. The

charged with being impudent y

best to admit that in numerous in

Negro does not tend to make him
an adept in good manners, such rs
every ordinary person who earns
his living by direct contact with
others, and especially as persons
in service, ought to be. There was
IA time when there were no more
polite, courteous and good man
nered servants in the world than
the American Negro, but we doubt
that the boast can be safely made
to-day.
Waiting and serving are volun-
tary vocations, now everywhere
and entirely honorable. If persons
are engaged in these callings, they
owe it to themselves to fulfill every
requirement of their work, never

dren do what they see or hear their
parents do, rather than what the
parents tell them to do. SO we of
ten hear colored children (and
some whites) yelling at other chill
dren when demanding IA service or
when seeking to correct them. This
is sure sign of ill-breeding and in
bred insolence. Such children
grow up with some knowledge of,
but very little respect for real good
manners. Their manners lack cul-
ture and refinement. They exist
only in theory and are practiced
with special motive. The house
servant is often thus afflicted. They
possess mistaken ideas of pride and
often expect their employers to be
more courteous to them than they
are to the employers. These errors
often lead to dissatisfaction and
sometimes to disgust on the part of
those who furnish the employment.
Then comes criticism and dis
charge. Then white walters and
servants find openings. Real good

KITCHEN EARrHENWARE.
American Housewives Should Follow
This Neat and Sensible Custom
of the French.

Housewives, Il take counsel from your
cooking with earthenware mixers and
in earthenware dishes, and keep your
staple cooking materials in earthen-
ware jars. They can be kept spotlessly
clean, and ingredients are much more
palatably blended when cooked in their
thick walls, the cooking process con-
tinuing after dish is removed from
the fire. Crockery not being able to
withstand the direct blaze, can never
be of unlimited service in the kitchen,
but 1t is decreed by foreign housewives,
who have used it for years, to be by
far the most satisfactory kind of uten-
sill in every other way.
The casserole is the piece Of crockery
which American women need most Ia
learn the value of. No one dish offers
so many possibilities for combining and
serving vegetables in an unacceptable
form and for cooking meats in new and
casseroles have pretty light exterior,
while in German ware they have dark
| brown glaze. They are lined with the
whitest of porcelain, and may be
bought in individual receptacles or In
| large dishes In either size they are
sent to the table just as they have been
taken from the stove, thus keeping the
contents piping hot until 1t is served
Covers. of the large dishes often have
a miniature rabbit OF brace of part.
ridge nodded on the top, instead of a
handle, the casserole being favorite
way in which to cook game and poul.
| try of all sorts.
Small shallow dishes with long han
dies in this same earthenware furnish
a most satisfactory means Of serving
shirred eggs as they retain their heat
so long when cooked in these individual
receptacles. Individual pots for cook
ing and serving beans are made OF
royal blue crockery.
A kitchen never looks so thy as when
its shelves are covered with oilcloth
topped by white earthenware jars for
holding rice, raisins, and all the small
staple goods needed in cooking, and
which are so often strewn around In
mussy looking bags. Both the large
sized jars and smaller ones for spices
are attractive in simple patterned delft
ware on which the name of the con-
tents is printed in blue.
An entire outfit for preparing ingre-
dents for cooking is made of blue and
white delft ware and, with the excep-
ton of the rolling board, each article
may be suspended on the knobs of a
wall plaque which has porcelain delft
center. The outfit contains muddler
or ball-shaped crockery mixer, a crock
cry strainer, a rolling-pin, with wooden
handles and porcelain cylinder, cab
bage cutter with porcelain body and
steel knife edge, a pancake litter, a
meat beater, soup ladle and a potato
masher. The pastry board has square
porcelain center, with wooden borders.
Each article shows some quaint Dutch
scene in delft blue, and the whole outfit
costs just $7S7.
Another receptacle which no kitchen
should be without is a stone water
cooler. This is in the form of key,
and is equipped with small faucet
| for drawing off the water, and sepa-
rate compartment for ice.--Louisville

THAT BOY OF YOURS.
Endeavor to Show Him Sympathy in
His Work and Pursuits and Be-
ware of Neglecting This Duty.

We chaperone our girls and carefully
guard them against unworthy boys, but
we leave the boy to choose for himself
his associates and his achievements.
Girls are naturally winsome, gentle,
companionable. They win their way
in homes and hearts. But the boy,
noisy, awkward, mischievous, is in
vited into few homes, and feels none
100 much at home in his own.
He is hungry for companionship, and
he will have it. You can't chain him
away from it. He wants the compan-
onship of boys, and nothing will take
its place.
If the rime Of selfishness has so in
cased your heart that the joys and hopes
Of your boy cannot enter into it, the boy
is to be pitied, but SO are you,

Care of the Linen.

A firm of linen manufacturers gives
some useful hints for washing table and
other linens. They ADVISE the best OF
washing soaps, to begin with. Soaps full
of alkali discolor linen. 1t is better to
wiring linen by hand, or at least have the
rollers of the wringer fairly loose. Be
sure that the rinsing process is thorough.
A great improvement in doing up linen
Is this stock: Dissolve one ounce OF
gum arabic in half pint of warm water.
Add one tablespoonful Of the solution
to quart of water, and wiring out the
linens in the mixture. A point in the
care of towels: Admonish the mascu-
line members of the family never to wipe
razor on towel. The damage done
often does not show at the time but is
apparent after the towel is washed.

In Utah, according to those who are
waging war on the Mormon leader and
who are attempting to displace him
from his high seat.
Charges have bec2 made that Smith
has diverted the flow of tithes from the
Golfers of the church to his own peck

ers to invest their money in enterprises
under his control so that he may enrich
his private purse, and that he has COM

And the authors of these accusations
are from within the sacred councils of
the temple, and until their excommuni-

"COPPERED" THE PROPHET.

This is story of a weather almanac
prophet, who may be called Thompson,

Press. While recently visiting Jersey
town he went into store to buy cigar.
He made his purchase and was about to
leave the store when the proprietor re-
marked:
IT'S pity you have no umbrella, for
it's going to rain soon."

leaving the store he had gone only few
blocks when he was we'll drenched by a
sudden shower Thompson was struck
by the mans prediction, and being al
ways intent on the interest of his alma
nae he went back to the store and was
received by the proprietor with broad

the church felt constrained, on March
10 last, to explain to the members of
his flock that he had testified to an I'M
truth in Washington, the reason for it
being that the senator's whom he desig-'
mated as his "inquisitors," were trying
to lead him into trap" Instead of
quieting the incipient rebellion against
him, this admitted untruth has only in
creased the dissatisfaction.
On top of his admission his chief
mouthpiece, Apostle c. W. Penrose, has
been shown by parallel statements made
under oath also to have been guilty of
telling an untruth. Penrose, who is
polygamist. has made various conflict
ing statements under oath as to his
marital relations.
All these things are going on within
the church. while from without come
other attacks which are worrying the
leaders. The war is going on in politics
and finance and in these fields of prac-
teal effort on the part of the Mormon
hierarchy lie their most vulnerable
points.
In the field of finance, it is alleged an
effort was made to execute a grab" Of
franchise for nearly a century for light
and street railway privileges in Salt Lake
City. The action aroused such opposi-
ton that the prime movers did not dare
to carry out their original intentions.
At the same time, although no election
is imminent at present, the growth of
feeling among both Mormons and Gen

richment; of violating the laws Of the |
church; of committing crimes against
the government; of reasonable teach
ing, and of forsakins a true spiritual life
for the worship of mammon."
Accusers Excommunicated.
Goaded into anger by these attacks,
President Smith has sought to retaliate
by communicating persons who might
question his acts.

of the Mormon church, has been cut off

lie is nSntlng the proceedings against
him, maintaining that, if given an OPP
portunity he will prove every statement
he has made against the president of the

Furthermore, he has put to test the
various reservations of the church to
the effect that polygamy and polyga-

nanced by fling charges against one of
the elders of the church, Hyrum H. Cod

that Joseph F. Smith, as the alleged rep
resentative of the Lord, is using funds
to speculate in sugar stocks, for exam
pie; to build up electric lighting, power
and street railway monopolies; to force
the faithful to take out life insurance in
his personally Endorsed company and to
insure their homes in his company; to

NEGLECTED senator, many churchmen
in high standing were called to Wash
ington to testify, and among others was
President Smith. The general trend of
the testimony presented showed that al
though polygamous cohabitation had
been abolished as a rule, those of the
mormon faith were still ruled by the law
of the church, rather than by the law
of the land. or in other words, that the
law of the church is supreme.
Smith Confessed Perjurer.
It was only after the passage of the
Edmund's law that Utah was admitted
into the union as state. Under this law,
which was subscribed to by President
Smiht and the apostles OF the Mormon
church, plural marriages and polyga-
nous cohbaitation were forbidden. But
on the stand before the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections in the
Smoot investigation, President Smith
frankly confessed that the pact with the
nation had been broken; that his oath
was a travesty; that his obligation as
an apostle and as hierarch of the church
was subterfuge.
