OANCE q NJ. .. a.
The Modern BROTH erhood of Ameri-
ca gave a shadow social" at their
hall last night, about a hundred and
fifty members and their friends being
in attendance. The feature of the eve
ming was an auction of shadows. in
which the silhouette of every lady
present was thrown upon a canvas
and the gentlemen were permitted to
bid for her company, Offering their
bids only on the appearance of the
shadow and without knowing the iden-
tity of the subject. Each lady had
lunch-box and thus partners were Sc
cured for supper, which was served
after the program of the evening.
On the program were addresses by
Will Robinson and Captain Booker.
of the Military Institute, and a recita-
ton by Miss Stella Hughes. The pleas
llre of the evening concluded with a
dance, for which three-piece orches-
ira played good music.

ECHOES IN RHYME OF THE
SELECT LADIES' MINSTREL

Mrs. G. NJ. Slaughter's party Tuesday
afternoon, when she gave to Mrs. w.
S. Kilgour souvenir spoon from the
ladies of the minstrels:
published by Request)
Madam Prayer, my commission
Is a pleasure, not a task.
But before undertake it.
One question may l ask?
Can this Select Ladies Minstrels
Undo anything they've done?
Can they give me back the English
That was mine when it begun?
My family is most distracted,
And my friends are scared as well,
For my rhyming's like the two-step
OF the famous Anna Bell
am rhyming in the morning,
When l dine and when 1 sup.
Can this Ladies Minstrel stop me?
1t was you that wound me up.
But I'm not the only victim
OF this here minstrel show
Sister Joh1son's talkin' coon talk
Wherever she does go.
It's "Afo' de Lo'd and honey,
Sure Miz HeImig dat's alright
Why she is not safe to go to church
Or any place polite.
And that program committee
Isn't having any fun;
Every time they go down Main street
The business men all run.
That decorating outfit
Is sure a feeling queer,
For wash and air out, all they can,
They all still smell of beer.
Sister Slaughter is a fretting
From the morning until night;
It's a habit she acquired, you know,
'F'raid things wern't going right.
And that chorus keeps on singing
At home, also down town;
And our sweet colonial ladies
Won't doff their colonial gown.
Our fair and lovely Goddess,
BY her grace. won such renown
That from her lofty pedestal
She simply won't come down
Mrs. Helmig and the end men
I'm surprised to see them here
They are booked. so have understood
For a professional career.
Oh, that show was sure a great sue
cess,
We could not have asked for more;
But the men that it made homeless,
You can count them by the score.
So It's we'll that it is o'er,
This Select Minstrel show,
And in time l hope the members
VIII be able to let go.
But "Tilda must stop her fooIin''
What's been said was all in fun,
But 1 have serious message,
And It's time it were begun.
The success of our late minstrel
Tho composed of many a part
Was accomplished by one strong hand
That shaped it from the start.
Tho so well she led the music,
This was not her only boon,
For it was her master baton
That kept our hearts in tune.
Was there doubt or indecision?
She turned a willing ear,
And decided every question
With a Judgment strong and clear.
Was there some misunderstanding?
She wound the tangle out.
Did somebody have a grievance?
She drove away the doubt.
Oh the rhythm of her spirit
Permeated all so much
That the music welled up easy
From the hearts that she had
touched.
And It's from these hearts, Mrs. Kill
gour,
That this little gift is sent,
In the name of all the Milstrels

Where Amber Is Found.

SantO Domingo is one of the few
places in the world where amber oc-
ours in any quantity. The bulk of
the supply comes from the vicinity Of
Konigsberg, on the Baltic sea. There
it occurs in the lower oligocere, and
appears to have deposited originally
in glauconitic beds of clay, which was
afterWard eroded by wave action and
the amber distributed, though much
of it is taken from beds in which
it was originally deposited. Amber
is simply fossilized rosin, derived ap-
parently from certain coniferous trees.
The conditions under which it occurs
in SantO Domingo do not appear to
differ substantially from the Baltic
sea coast. 1t is found near Santiago
City, associated with Ignite, sand
stone and conglomorates. These beds
probably belong 70 the oligocene
formation and are found containing
amber at number of places on the
north coast, as well as on both flanks
of the Monte Cristi range. 1t also
frequently occurs in the streams flow
ing through these beds The amber
is usually found in oyate Jumps, from
the size of pea to a mans fist, often
lattened, dull on the exterior, being
covered with a kind of brownish
crust.--MaXWells Talisman.

Recorded by WindmiIIs.

In Holland births, marriages and
deaths instead of being recorded in
newspapers, are indicated by wind
mills. When a miller gets married he
stops his mill with the arms of the
wheel in slanting position and with
the sails unfurled. His friends and
guests frequently do likewise with
their mills in token of. the ceremony.
To indicate birth the wheel is
stopped with the arms in slanting
position, but at more acute angle
than for marriage, and with the two
upper sails furled, says one who has
lived in the land of Queen W4lhel-
NINA Should miller die the sails
of his mill are all furled and the
wheel is turned round until the arms
form an upright cross, in which posi-
tion they are left until after the funer-
al has taken place.

Mental Photonranhv.

A member of the Philadelphia Pho
tographic society has been trying the
new mental photography which has
been making some stir in Berlin. This
eXperimenter took a blank photo
graphic plate into his dark room,
bound it to his forehead, and for 80
minutes concentrated his thoughts on
the face of close friend of his.
The developed plate, which he says
is the identical one that he bound to-
his forehead, shows, family, traces of
a face that has many points of resem-
blance to that of his friend. Such at
least Is the opinion of some who have
seen the plate, though others declare
that its markings are indeterminate
and look like nothing in particular
The point raised by the experinAlt is
whether or not an image on the hui
man brain can be photographed, since
the X-ray can secure an image of the
arteries of body or of something in
closed in solid, opaque covering.

acres, dividing it up into allotment5
OF Is acres each and letting it at
nominal rent, calculated according to
the estimated value of the land, which
has, as it were, four classifications,
the highest quit rent being placed at
$500 and the lowest at 40 cents an
allotment, free Of local rates and taxes
for ten years.
"One OF the chief difficulties to be
overcome before making the allot-
ments was to deal with the proprie-
tary right of beekeepers, who cen
turies ago had certain privileges con-
ferred upon them whereby they did a
thriving trade in honey and wax. This
trade has in later times diminished,
owing to the destruction of the floral
produce of the land, chiefly by firing
when portions thereof were cleared
for wheat and other cereals. Matters
have been amicably settled for the
beekeepers and the embryo agricul-
turists. The success of the scheme as
far as it has gone mas stirred the am
bition of the residents in large part
of the north of Portugal, where a
project on similar lines is being set
on foot to bring back into cultivation
