sFERILIzED AFFECTION.
Experience of Negro in Hiring n
 Home in Boston.

It has long been supposed that low temperatures effectuany prevent all manners of decay and deterioration. But the latest test mad in Boston proves conclusively that some things are not kept fresh by cold storage. Ex- Senator Hinds of Mississippi has been conducting experiments in the great American cold storage warehouse which show the startling fact that even the great intellectual frigidity of Boston does not prevent the decay of the most carefully sterilized Bostonian negro sentiment. MT. Hinds has been unable to rent either house or an apartment in or about Boston. Dog ems of agents either refused or tripled their rentals to discourage the Missis- sippi negro, much to MT. Hinds' sur prise. For who would have suppos- ed that Boston's classic love for op- pressed races in the south, the Philip pines and everywhere else could have gone bad?
 At the usual Bostonian temperature love will always be cold, of course, but that it should turn to hatred is a sor- rowful discovery. The newly discover led anti-negro prejudice throws light upon the probable character of that exquisite love for head-hunting Dyaks and Pulajane skull collectors long freely lavished at long range by Bos- tonian anti-imperialists and friends who had caught their chill. Unlike or dinary food, this wonderful love for the lowly keeps best in warm climates and hence Is smanufactured in Boston for export only. In Mississippi and Mindanao the natives partake of it freely and with relish, little suspecting that, If exposed to the Absolute Zero of omniscent Boston, it would turn sour as fast as pasteurized milk in Au- gust.
 The benighted inferior races do not understand the causes of this para doxical transformation of affection, for they are ignorant of the effects of lpasteurizing the milk of human kind ness. This famous fluid like the bov- inc type, normally contains two kinds of bacteria, the harmful and the
 harmless. The harmful ones, though differing widely among themselves,
 nearly all belong to the same genus, that of bacillus logicae abstractae.
 Their effect is, curiously enough, more violent upon the purveyor of the milk than upon the drinker; the form CT victim develops maudlin sympa-
 thy for savages and an uncontrolla-
 ble impulse to treat the latter as Bos- tonians. The savage recipient, not realizing this insult, gets queer notions
 about the white man and his brain
 sickness. The good bacilli in the milk
 are providentially placed there to
 counterast the effects of the bad ones,
 known as bacilli sensus comumnis, they keep clear the heads of purveyor 1 though, the Bostonians sterlize this
 milk by exposing it to the low temper
 ature of an intellectual vacuum this | process kills some of the bad bacilli,
 to be sure, but also lays low all the good ones. If Mir. Hinds and other agrieved victims understand this
 somewhat technical explanation they will know why the milk of human
 kindness turns sour so suddenly at the
 North Pole; of the human race.
 l Needless to say, Boston milk for ex-
 port Is usually condensed and canned
 so that 1t may travel better and keep longer The fact that 1t sours rapidly al thn caat af t,1o,11,fo a+,Yra x1yiIl therefore, not deter the pro-cannibal
 milkmen from shipping canned senti- ment and preserved humanitarianism to the utterinost parts of the earth,
 there to rival in fame the wooden nut
 megs of Connecticut. In spite of MT. Hinds' painful experience in Boston,
 the number of pamphlets to the Filipi-
 nos will probably suffer no diminution. New York Tribune.
