st. Valentine.

st. Valentine, presbyter and martyr,
unlike many saints who are specially
remembered, did nothing which could
have suggested the manner in which
his day Is celebrated. 1t was his for
tune to suffer martyrdom Che was
beaten with a club and then beheaded)
at time when the heathens Of south
crn Europe were accustomed to observe
the return of spring. The quick eyes of
those dependent upon sunlight for
warmth learned to note and welcome
every indication Of the approaching
season. They watched the birds, and
when they saw them mating and max
ing love they were minded to do the
same, and. so strong was the habit
that, as with Christmas day.. the good
fathers did not attempt to root out the
custom, but to connect 1t with some
holy name, and st. Valentines day OF
martyrdom fitted very nearly to that
time.

Hanged and -Tarred.

An English custom Of not so long ago
was to hang smugglers on gibbets ar
ranged along the coasts and then tar
the bodies that they might be preserved
a long while as warning to. other cul-
prits. AS late as 1922 three men thus
vanished could have been seen hang
ing before Dover castle. Sometimes
the process was extended to robbers,
assassins, incendiaries and other crimi-
nails. John Painter, who fired the dock
yard at Portsmouth, was first hanged
and then tarred in 1776. From time to
time he was given fresh coat OF var
nlsh and thus was made to last nearly
fourteen years. The weird custom did
not stop smuggling or other crime, but
no doubt 1t worked some influence as
preventive.

A Turkish story.

The Turk, as rule, Is not energetic,
but he Is capable of sudden bursts OF
activity. A writer in Cassell's Family
Magazine gives an illustration:
He was going home late one night In
Constantinopie when man ran by
him, pursued by four zaptiehs. Direct
ly they caught the man they belabored
him vigorously with the butt ends OF
their guns. The Englishman inter
fered.
'Tf he is a thief, why not take him
to prison and let him be tried properly
Don't half kill the man without a
trial.
20 effendi," said the spokesman Of
the party, 1--WE don't mind his being
thief. We're only hitting him because
of the trouble he gave us to run after
him." And that is an foffense which
the average Turk never forgives.

PLANT IRREGULARITIES.

No plant will produce flowers unless
there Is iron In the soil IN which II
grows,
All plants are provided with flowers
though sometimes these are so small
and 50 hidden as to escape notice.
The bleeding heart, according to an
eastern legend, originated In the drops
of blood which fell from Christ's side at
the crucifixion.
Every flower that has perfume at
all secretes a volatile oil, the evapora-
ton of which constitutes the peculiar
odor characteristic Of the blossom.
The smallest flower known to the
botanist Is said to be that of the yeast
plant. 1t Is microscopic In size and Is
said to be only one-hundredth of MIL
limeter in diameter. p
According to the pOetical idea OF Ca
Julius, the rose was once white, but
blushed red and remained so out OF
shame for allowing its thorns to infict
a wound on the feet of Venus.

CAUCASIAN AND NEGRO.
rhex Arc Fundamentally Opposite
E~tremes In Evolution.

mh. A.. fundamentally Opposite
extremes In Evolution.
The Caucasian has the subjective fac
ultics well developed; the negro the OBJ.

ticrlarly the Anglo-Saxon, Is dominant
and domineering and possessed prima-
rilv with determination, will power,
self control, self government and all
the attributes Of the subjective self.
with high development OF the ethical
and aesthetic faculties and great rea-
roning powers. The negro is In direct
contrast by reason Of certain lack Of
these powers, and great development
Of the objective qualities. The negro
is primarily affectionate, Immensely
emotional. then sensual, and, under
provocation, passionate. There is love
Of outward show, Of 0stentation, OF APP
probation. He loves melody and rude
kind of poetry and sonorous language,
There is undeveloped artistic power
and taste-negroes make good artisans
and handicraftsmen. They are def
cient In judgment, in the formation OF
new ideas from existing facts, in de-
yising hypothesis and in making de-
auctions in general. They are initiative
rather than original, inventive or con-
,structiye. There is instability of char
acter incident to lack Of self control,
especially in connection with the sex.
ual relation, and there is a lack Of
orientation or recognition Of position
and condition of self and environment,
evidenced in various ways; but by a
peculiar "bulnptiousness," so called by
Professor Blackshear of Texas. this Is
particularly noticeable.
The white and the black races are
antiDodal, then, in cardinal points. The
one has large frontal region OF the
brain, the other larger region behindI
the one Is subjective, the other ob1ec-
tive; the one great reasoner, the other
pre-eminently emotional; the one domi-
ncering. but having great self control,
the other meek and submissive, but
violent and lacking self control when
the passions are aroused, the one a
very advanced race, the other very
backward one. The Caucasian and the
negro are fundamentally opposite ex-
tremes in evolution.-Robert Bennett

Great Railway Deal

Deep Water Railway lying Wholly

which has built and controlled the
Deep Water line. is increased to

that it means a continuous line in

1t is significant that the general plan
offs called detective tales has never
once changed in any degree.
Writers of detective stories Lave one
and ali labored, even with genius,to con-
st1uct problems in crime where by acute
deduction the criminal and his methods
are determined.
In some instances the regular form
has been reversed, and the crime is plan.
ed so scutely as 10 effectually conceal
the criminal and his methods.

fiction and construct mystery tales upon
plans whereby the Furnishing power OF

cret service, a detective bureau and
a uniformed patrol. The Guard is
part foot, part mounted and part
assigned to water front service, the
latter being provided with launch

discipline and its unifo, m is of
military character, grsy with red

are worn. The jurisdiction of the
exposition extends mile without
the exposition grounds under the
act Of the Virginia legislature and
offenders are taken before magis-
trates especially appointed and

one by day, one by night. Cases
brought before them will receive
immediate attention. The Powha-

preserve the peace and protect prop.

force has been drawn from the
forces of many cities and the lead
