In proportion to population not more at the North

net endorse or encourage crime is evidenced by
their more prompt execution Of the laws. The peo-

Chauncey Depew from his $25 900 year graft in

The masculine utensil becomes feminine ornament.
She takes the shaving brush for which she has no
use and makes Of it a cOckade for her hat. She
takes the watch from the pockets and pins it on her
breast. Suspenders are to her but a form Of dress

lion years mOnOpOlzed extravaganza and display in
dress it seems only fair that with civilized the
privilege should be reversed, and woman be allowed
for an equal period to deck herself with the more
brilliant plumage. AT least, we shall not object
to it until we see some way Of stopping it.

IN employment, from carefully analyzed statement
Of operations extending over the past twelve months
and where more than $4,000 has been paid fer
wages alone upon public work, exclusive Of hOi-
days, or where work was impossible on account OF
weather conditions, the actual time employed Is
compared with a possible opportunity for work
amounted to SO per cent, or simply stated, the
negro labOrer was willing to work at exceptional
wages and preferred emdlOymeRt only little more
than one half Of bis time during the twelve months.
Now, as to Italian labor;
For purposes Of comparison the writer secured
information along the same line from division en-
gineer Of the New York Rapid Transit Commission,
who writes IL find that taking fifty Italian labor
ers, they made 7,60s hours out Of a possible %,
600 hours, making percentage Of SS full time
worked"
These figures, 80 and SS, are deeply significant.
While there are printed fine descriptive articles Of
the progress Of the race and the accumulation OF
money by negroes, there comes the story over and
over again Of growing disinclination OF the com
mon negro laborer to work, or, rather, to do any
more work than is neediul for subsistence and to
provide him with certain amusements Is it not
inevitable that, unless he mends his ways he will
be displaced By the man who takes advantage Of
nearly 80 per cent Of his opportunity to worki Do

the number Of letters received relating TO the new

The details Of DR.. Mo0res discovery and the

notable discovery that has given food to millions.
The tomato not a century ago was regarded simply
as an ornament Of the flower garden. Il is now q
most valuable addition to the kitchen garden. just
now two important discoveries have been made
which will still further reduce the cost Of food to
man and beast. Mr.. Burbank, who has made such
wonderful and successful experiments, has given us
thOrness cactus which will flourish upon the semi
arid regions and which is rich ia food. It promises
to do wonders for vast region which heretofore has
been barren. Whether when left alone it will re-
vert to the old type which resisted all approach and
was utterly useless, remains to be seen. And
now comes another discovery, which, il it
comes up to the expectations Of certain agricultural
papers, win give the South another food for man,
as it has already done for cattle. pound OF cotton
seed meal contains all Of the elements needed for
making wholesome, nutritious bread. 1t contains
three times as much digestibe protein as the high
est grade Of wheat -four or the best OF oat meal.
This is the precious element in the stock feed or in
human food. II mixed with corn meal, rice dOur or
wheat -four, the carbohydrates will be abundantly
supplied. Cotton seed flour will contain twice as
much oil as Oat meal and ten times as much oil as
wheat flour. The commercial value Of the cotton
seed crop in the South is now only 500, OO0 600.
Bring cotton seed meal now selling for one cent
pound in competition with -four selling for three
cents per pound and We can easily add $50 000 600
to the value Of the cotton seed crop annually.
