Suggestion of Assassination.

There was an element of humor in
the interview which took place in
Paris between the shah of Persia and
NJ. Curie, the French scientist. His
majesty had expressed his desire to
see the wonders of radium, so a tele-
gram was sent to NJ. Curie asking him
to present himself at the Elysee pal

saint has been usually depicted by ar
lists with lamb by her side. In days
when the common people of England
could not read printed signs, the first
man in "a town or village to set up
business in yarns and hosiery adopted
the lamb sign. A competitor would

THE NAGGING SPIRIT.

This and many similar notices
are the emblems and guides of our
churches. lodges and secret orders,
and yet how ruthlessly and watom-
ly they are disregarded by the very
leaders who are supposed TO see
that they are carried out. The
nagging spirit seems to thrive in
the West. Everybody is up on
the spirit of combat, contentious,
grouchy, combative spirit seems
rife and is easily aroused by those
who ought to be cooler headed.
In deliberative bodies there will al
ways be room for differences with
out looking for and making them
an object of investigation. No
race and no enterprise or organiza-
tion can move forward by foster
ing the spirit Of difference, retalia-

come in the history of race build

peace and harmony not what di-
vides, sewers and opposes. The
Negro seems to have this part of
his nature already abnormally de-
veloped and it is about time now
that we begin to look for construc-

At first glance it looks like woven
garment with border of leather

woven meshes are really rectangular

This garment was found in one of

Theodore M. Davis, the eminent arch

THE PRACTICAL IN NATURE.

Last week we called attention to
the wonderful twentieth century
acheivments and the benefits that
ought to come to our race by keep
ing in touch with these practical
movements if only in a theoretical
way. There is nothing more val
liable and interesting than the
study of nature when persued in
the right way and with diligent at
tention. To watch the manner
and process of plant growth is to
quicken and sharpen the powers
of observation, cultivate the intel
lect and develope and foster re-
spect for intelligent labor
What is better to know than
that plants are guided and develop
ed in their progress of growth by
intelligent direction and to under
stand how they are uourished by
the soil, stimulated by the rain, in
vigorated by the air and fed by
the atmosphere. In order to oo-
tain the greatest benefit from the
study of agriculture, the practical
and scientific sides must be COM
bined. The why? This is the all
important thing for this same
principle may be embodied with
certain notifications in thous-
and other things. Every child
whether boy or girl should be
taught the application of the
scientific principles which causes
the soil to respond readily to the
demand and which of the tiller
and the results obtained should be
noted, this is the beginning of
science on any subject. Prof. j..
w. Hoffman, colored, the cotton
expert who left for England last
week, few years ago was public
school pupil in the South, he gave
special attention to nature studies
and afterwards followed this same
line of work in the more advanced
branches in college. After gradu-
ating he became teacher of
science in the Baptist College in
Louisville and afterwards at Cane
Springs, Ky. now he is employed
as expert by the English Govern
ment in cotton raising at Lagos
West Africa and is making fine
showing as well turning to practi
cal account the labors of the ma
tives in that region, thus it can be
seen what may follow ii little in
vestigation on scientific lines.
Our public shoots and especially
in the Southland could do no bet.
ter thing than to emphasize the
Importance of good farming by
giving the subject equal place in
the curriculum with arithmetic
and grammer, because in soil study
we have open to us an intelligent
chapter in the great book of nature
in which the goodness and wisdom
of God is plainly written.

THE COLOR QUESTION AT HONE.

Last week it was the color ques-
ton in Maryland, now it is the
same thing in Colorado. Last
Saturday on the foot ball field at
the State Agricultural grounds in
the practice game between the Ag-
gies and the Denver University
the game was called in question
and held up for sometime because
the State school put colored man
in the game. The colored player
objected to by the Denver Meth
odists squad was johnson, a young
man from this city who entered
the college this fall and already
has shown such aptitude in his
studies and ability as an athelete
that he was put on the football
squad to defend the honor and
credit of his school, During the
last two years only one colored
man was in the intercollegiate
contest that was f. M. Roberts of

POOR DAIRY HELP.

The editor of the Chicago Drovers'
Journal is of the opinion that probably
in no department of husbandry is 1t
more difficult to obtain efficient help
than In operating a dairy. Many farm
ers have been compelled TO
keeping COWS because help to milk
could not be procured, as the average
farm laborer dislikes a dairy.
To operate a dairy successfully good
mixers are necessary. 1t is a strenu-
Gus branch OF agriculture and requires
especial attention to details and regu-
lar intervals for milking operations.
The farmer who conducts a dairy Is an
early riser and generally works late
hours.
The average hired man despises
milking. 1t is the first and last func-
ton of the days work. 1t frequently
OF toll in the field. and many hired
men will not engage to work on the
farm where one Of the duties will be
to work in the dairy. With hired
laborers to milk who dislike the work
the cows soon so dry or else refuse
enanc
The modern hired man wants short
hours n easy service. Some farm
help demand the maintenance OF a
horse and are more gentlemen Of
leisure than their employer.
Inc average ldTIu lIlplOJe wants
Sundays to himself. To arise on Sab
bath morning OF schedule time and
milk a dozen COWS and be under con-
tract to help milk Sunday evening is
where the protest comes in. The cows
need as much care and attention one
day as another, while Sunday speciti-
! cally is claimed by ordinary farm help
as time reserved for themselves.
In Germany. Belgium. Norway.
Sweden. and other European countries
wome do part or all of the milking.
but to milk a COW Is an accomplish
ment that but few American girls have
mastered. The dairyman finds his
business every year more difficult to
operate, and IN many Instances Is
compelled to change the dairy to some
other system OF agriculture, The past
season witnessed a large %shrlnkage Of
dairy products, n further contrac-
ton Is anticipated until farmers can
obtain efficient help TO assist in man
aging COWS.
