Why the Bird Reveis In Tumuit Of
the Wind and Waves.

The stormy petrol, alias Mother
Carey's chicken, Proeellaria pela-
gica, or Oceanites oceanicus, accord
ing as we have reference to the spe-
cies of the eastern or western At
lantic, has not got the epithet of
"stormy" for nothing. The bird
appears to revel in tumult of the
winds and waves and actually does
SO for good and sufficient reason.
This is that its food supply is very
much more abundant when the
ocean is agitated than when it is at
rest. Then the petrol. has decid-
ed habit of following ships, which
has really nothing to do with i'm
pending storm. No, it seeks the
ship not because it is afraid or lone
ly, but simply because the ship agi-
tates the waters. Very likely as it
follows a storm may spring up, and
then, seeing the bird so obviously
delighted, poor superstitious Jack
not unnaturally thought there was
some connection between them.
From this to a belief in a compan-
ionship in evil was only a step.
The queer notions about the
stormy petrol did not end here. 1t
was believed-and the naivete of
this belief is decidedly racy of poor
Jack-that it carried its eggs un-
der its wing and Matched them on
the water. 1t was also believed
that it could appear at will in the
.neighborhood Of ship anywhere
about the ocean. All this certain
ly pointed to necromatic or uncan-
ny power, and it is not to be won
dered at that the bird became such
an object of fear and aversion to
the poor man before the mast.
The poet Coleridge has left us a
fine picture of the terrifying inau-
ence of the albatro@ on the ancient
mariner, but no poet seems to have
awakened to the possibilities of the
stormy petrol as a theme How
ever, we read much about it off and
on in old chronicles or tales of the
sea. In one of these it is recorded
that the sailors, seeing the herald
of storm join the ship too near land,
as they supposed, mutinied and re-
fused to proceed. = Forest and

Value Of Artistic Taste.

An applicant for position in sta
tionery and book store was questioned
but little as to experience. Instead.
she was shown variety of fancy
cards, illustrated books and small pic
lures and asked to pick out those
which, in her opinion. were the most
artistic. Her taste was approved by
the manager, and he hired her.
1T is necessary in this store," he
said, "for clerk to have good taste.
Fully one-half of our customers do not
know what they want After much
rummaging around they at last pick
out three or four books or cards that
they like fairly well, but they lack the
judgment to make a final selection
and appeal to the clerk to help decide.
There is where the necessity for dis
elimination on her part comes In. By
choosing something really artistic she
gives general satisfaction and holds
our customers."-New York Press.
Legend Of the Tea Plant.
Dharma, the ascetic priest, was the
son of king of India. He went into
China, and for the space Of nine years
he remained in contemplation in tenn
Pile. Later he went to Japan, and he
died on Mount Katavka. He imposed
upon himself, as the first rule Of his
life, privation from sleep. One day, In
dignant at falling asleep, he cut of his
eyelids and threw them away as mis-
cradle sinners. From the spot where
the eyelids had fallen sprang up bush
which ID the tea plant, affording the
perfumed beverage which chases away
sleep.

Som. Extraordinary Mothers.

Probably the youngest grand
mother of whom we have record
was Lady Child of Shropshire,
England. She had married at twelve
years of age and had child before
her thirteenth year was completed.
This child in turn married while
still very young, with the result
that Lady Child was a grandmother
at twenty-seven. The most extraor-
dinary cases of motherhood were
those of Mrs. Honeywood of Char
ing, in Kent, and Lady Temple of
Stow. When the former died, on
May 10, 1920, aged ninety-three,
she counted as her descendants six
teen Children. ia grandchildren,
22s great-grandchildren and nine
great-great-grandchildren. The 9TH
er case was even more remarkable.
Lady Temple, who died in 1856,
had given birth to four sons and
nine daughters and lived to see
more than 700 descendants.

The Wrong Leg.

There is an enterprising Liver
pool tailor who has never been
known to acknowledge that he did
not have anything possible Gus
toner mig ight ask for.
One day customer entered the
shop and asked if he had any trou-
sers made especially for one legged
men.
Certainly" replied the mer-
chant. 'sWhat kind do you want ?"
'Dress trousers" said the man.
''The best you've got"
Hurrying into the rear of the
store, the enterprising merchant
snatched up pair of trousers and
shipped off the right leg with pair
of scissors. Hastily turning under
the edges, he presented them to the
customer.
"That's the kind I want. What's
Gone guinea"
"Well, give me pair with the
left leg off"
A month later the merchant was
pronounced convalescent and on
the high road to recovery.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

A pi.eoneertina Interruption.

A good story is told of disconcert-
Ding interruption which Mr.. Gladstone
once experienced when addressing u
woman suffrage meeting in Leeds. In
the course of his speech he paid a
graceful compliment to the eloquence
Of the ladies' who had previously spo-
ken and further gallantly remarked on
the great pleasure which it gives the
other sex to listen to women talking.
Pausing for moment after this OBJ
servation, Mr.. Gladstone, like his au-
dience, was thrown into an unexpect-
ed state of merriment by male voice
which proceeded from the back of the
hall and proclaimed in the broadest
Yorkshire dialect, "Eh, lad, thou'st
moan wed yet, l seest. t."-Westminster

Was the citron tree the tree of knowi-
edge of good and evil in the garden
Of Eden? Some persons think 1t was.
In any event, 1t appears that "citron"
would often be the right rendering in
passages where the authorized version
of the Bible gives apple" For ill.,
spoken is like apples of gold in pic
lures of silver" And, in the Song Of
Solomon, "As the apple tree among the
trees of the wood, SO is my beloved
among the sons" And again, "Sta.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

America has great navy and some
efficient as well as bumptious officers.
These men of the sea who command
Uncle Sans fighting fleet can be de-
pended upon to look after the interests
of an American citizen when he comes
in contact with the municipal officers
of some second-class power. Some
times the officers are so officious as
to merit a scathing letter like that
sent by Governor Swettenham, of ia
maica. But most of the time, our brave
admirals can be found doing their
duty unselfishly and with much eclat
like the incident which happened in
one of the Central American republics
last week

American fruit company, sober, in
dustrious Negro from the States, fell
IN the clutches of the police in one oil

THE NEGRO VOTER.

The temper of the Negro voter is be-
ing made manifest to the republican
party at the North. There is less and
less disposition upon the part of the
voters to blindly follow the party sim
ply because it was the party of Abra-
ham Lincoln. Mr. Roosevelt's policy
in the Brownsville affair has cooled
the ardor of the brother in black for
the grand old party all over the coun-
try. This GOODNESS toward the party
Is being overworked though. For ex-
ample, 1t Is stated that the apathy of
the cOlored vote on account of the
Brownsville affair was the cause of the
defeat of the republican ticket in the
Baltimore municipal election this
week, This would be only too good
II 1t were but true. However, from
the weekly papers published in the
city. we CLEAN the fact that the Ne
groes were dissatisfied on account of
the local conditions. There is no deny
ing, though, that there is a general
dissatisfaction with the republican
policies that would cause the loss of
several Northern states to the republi-
can party were it not for the mouth
ings of some of the Southern demo
Gratis whose alpha and omega is the
Negro,
The South though always democrat
&c really has very little force in the
direction of democratic affairs and in
a like manner the Negro is or has been
an asset of the republican party. The
Negro is really tired of the treatment
accorded him by the republicans, yet
he has not decided to choose, in pref
erence those panaceas offered by Ben
Tillman and his gang. At the next ma
tional election, unless there is a radi-
cal change in the affairs of the party,
there will be a larger number of indie
pendent voters and stay-at-homes than
ever before since emancipation.

SPRING FESTIVAL.
(COntinued from Page One)

Wednesday night the crowd at the
spring festival increased over the
previous nights, and the entertain
ment continued with unusual success.
Nothing has been more pleasing than
the loyalty shown on the part of the
members and the interest manifested
by visitors throughout. The register
ing of the attendance has grown In
proportion.
Thursday there was a special fea-
ture attached to the festival. The
hotel walters, under the management
of Mr.. Young, took dinner The la
dies had prepared a sumptuous repast
for them. 1t was served promptly at
three o'clock. Rev. DR.. Clark made
an excellent address just before din
ner was served, and in that command
ing way he further endeared him
self to the hearts of the vast audience
that was present to witness the occa-
sion.
Thursday night the entertainment
opened under the most promising cir
cumstances. The weather had
cleared away, and all day Thursday
the sun was shining beautifully,
which brought out an enormous
crowd The management of the fes-
tlval found. it difficult to supply ample
refreshments as well as space to ac-
commodate the visitors that were
present during the evening.
Tonight there will be a special
program for the entertainment of all
which winds up the twentieth annual
Spring Festival of the Mt. Olive Bap
fist Church. Judging from the re
ports of the officers and management
several hundred dollars have beer
cleared already and a full report is
not yet available. A general good feel
ing and unity of work made the en-
tertainments highly successful
