REGRET EXPRESSED
by the Colorcd Baptists Over the
Rev. Mr.. McDanel's Intention
10 Go Away.

We, the colored Baptists of the
city and vicinity regret very much
to learn that Rev. R. B. Mcdaniel,
of the First Baptist church is to
leave our city, having been called
to Charleston. w. Va.
It has been to US source OF
great pleasure to not the vast
amount of work accomplished by
this very aggressive and much be-
loved man along denomInationai
lines.
We look upon his intended de-
parture not only as distinct loss
to the denomination in this sec
ton but also as the loss of very
potent factor for good in our COM
mupity. In his going we feel keen
~ the loss OF devoted friend 4
our church and race. for in no
matter affecting our interest and
welfare has his counsel OF assist
ance been denied us; our gatherings
nave always been incomplete with.
out his presence, his advice and his
instruction has always been eagerly
sought by US. and followed to a
large degree of success. It is there
fore only natural for us to regard
him as faithful friend and brother.
We wish him every success ia his
new field of labor. since We know
of the very harmonious relations,
which have always existed between
him and the First Baptist church.
his present charge, we share in their
regret at his intended departure and
trust even yet that some favorable
circumstance may alter the case In
their favor.

THE MALE OPERA HAT.
Why It Rises Superior to Any Passing

Why Il Rises Superior to Any Passing
Fashion Dictates.
Mem generally protest against the
changes Of style in hats, and one OF
the sex has written to the New York
Mail this complaint:
Why attack as a "collapsible, many
named pretender' the opera hat, or
chapeau de claQue?
have such a hat and also silk hat,
in which respect T think differ from
most Gothamites. Whenever I have
en- option wear the opera rather than
the other. It's more convenient.
At the theater or opera you can car
~ it better on your between the acts
promenades. IF there is no rack for
your hat under the seat you can tuck
it in your overcoat and put it on the
floor under you without destroying it.,
as you would do with silk hat.
II you put your hat in the rack IN
der your seat and then rise and stand
close to it to permit a late conner to
pass an opera hat suffers no damage.
4 silk hat would be either rufied or
crushed.
The opera hat looks as well at all
times as the silk hat and requires
much less care. Indeed, think it
looks better. The glossy surface OF a
silk hat. like the glossy bosom Of a
stiff white shirt, is an uncomfortable
survival Of the time when men wore
polished helmets and breastplates.
There is so much reason in the opera
hat that men Of discrimination will
continue to wear it, the style Of the
moment regardless.

pared liquid which seemed worthy
of trial. Simpson, who knew no fear,
prepared instantly to test it on him

until it had first been tried on rabbits.

the effects Of the anaesthetic. Next
day Simpson proposed to try it on him

The Christian Sunday.

The keeping Of Sunday, the first day
Of the week, as sacred day in mem
DRY of the resurrection and Of the de-
scent OF the Holy Ghost dates from
the beginning Of Christianity. 1t was
called the Lords day in all the church
es, but gradually acquired the name Of
Sunday from the Romans, who called
the first day Of the week dies soils, or
day sacred to the sun. The first official
recognition Of Sunday as holy day is
in an edict of the Roman Emperor Con-
stantine in 321 ordering that all work
should cease in the cities ''on the ven
erable Sunday" but permitting neces-
sary farm work to be attended to.-St.

THE LIcORICE PLANT.
Where 1t Grows and How Its Black
Juice Is Treated.

Juice Is Treated.
Black hcorice is made from the juice
of the licorice plant, mixed with starch
to prevent it from melting in hot
weather. The licorice plant grows for
the most part on the banks Of the
Tisris and Euphrates rivers, which
flow through immense treeless prairies
Of uncultivated land. The climate OF
these great plains is variable. Half the
year it is mild and pleasant, but for
three months it is very cold, and for
three months in summer hot winds
sweep across the country, raising the
temperature to 104 degrees for weeks
at time.
The licorice plant is a shrub three
feet high and grows without cultiva-
ton in situations where its roots can
reach the water. The usual time Of
collecting is the winter, but roots are
dug all the year around At first the
root is full of water and must be
allowed to dry, a process which takes
nearly year. 1t is then cut into small
pieces from six inches to foot
long. The good and sound pieces are
kept, and the rotten ones are used for
frewood.
As the valley Of the Euphrates con-
tained one of the earliest civilizations
in the world, it is probable that licorice
is about the Oldest confection eXtant
and that the taste, which pleases near
ly all children today, was familiar to
the little brown boys and girls Of
Babylon and Nineveh 5000 years ago.

writer, red is a color to which cattle
are unaccustomed, so that they may
naturally be supposed to be startled
by its very novelty. Scientists show
the sensation of red to be the compile

by exactly opposite affections of the
retina. If the eyes of cattle are con-
structed on a similar principle to our
own the continual contemplation Of

A Dog Habit.

Have you ever thought why it is that
q dog turns around and around when
he jumps up on his cushion or starts
to settle himself anywhere for q nap?
Now that you are reminded you can
recall that you have seen a dog do it
many times, can't you? This habit is
about all that is left to our tame little
doggies Of the days long ago, when
they were race Of wild animals and
lived in the woods. Their beds then
were matted grass and leaves, and it
was to trample enough grass and prop
erly arrange the leaves that the dog al
ways trod around narrow circle be-
fore he would lie down. The dog Of
today keeps up the same old habit, al
though there is no longer any need for
It, and Of course the animal has no
notion why he does it.

SILK OF THE SPIDER.
The Delicate Machinery That Spins
the LIQUID Threads.

the EfGulG nFedOS.
The spider is able to secrete at least
three colors of silk stuff-the white,
which forms the web, and the en-,
svathcment of captives and the egg
cocoon: the brown mass that fills the
cocoon interior and the fossy yellow
between that and the inside Of the
sac. The glands end in minute ducts
which empty into spinning spoois reg
ularly arranged along the sides ana
upon the tips Of the six spinnerets, OF
spinning mammals" or spinning I'm
GERS" which are placed just beneath
tha apex Of the abdomen. The spin
ncrets are movable and can be flung
wide apart or pushed closely together,
and the spinning spools can be man
aged in the same way.
The silk glands are infolded in mus
cular tissue, pressure upon which, at
the will oe $he spider, forces the liquid
silk through the duct into the spool.
whence it issues as minute flament,
since it hardens upon contact with the
air. One thread as seen in a web may
be made up Of number of the fla
ments and is formed by putting the
tips Of the spools together as the liquid
lets are forced out of the ducts. When
the spinnerets are Joined and a num-
ber Of the spools are emptied at once
their contents merge, and the sheets
or ribbons are formed which one sees

strewn over the plains become tufa,
hard enough for building stone. The

REAL RHEUMATISM.
The Causes and Symptoms Of Uric
Acid in the Blood.

Acid in the Blood.
Rheumatism, so called, is proDaDly
as common as any ailment one ever
hears of, and yet if ore were to ana
lyze carefully the average case of rheu-
matism the result would doubtless
show that the disease was something
very different indeed from the real
thing. Almost everybody when suffer
ing from a slight stiffness of a joint or
a muscular soreness promptly makes a
diagnosis of rheumatism when in real
ity the case is nothing more than what
in technical language is known as IL
thaemia, sometimes called American
gout.
The real disease of rheumatism is the
result Of an accumulation in the blood
Of imperfectly converted food, princi-
pally uric acid. This accumulation is
due to intemperance in eating and
drinking and insufficient active exer-
else.
Heredity in some cases seems to play
an important part IN the great major
ity the symptoms follow regular or
der, beginning with q feeling Of full
ness and discomfort after meals, indl.
gestion, nausea and all unpleasant
taste in the mouth, followed by throb-
bing headache, nervous irritability and
vertigo, muscular pains which may be
confined to one or more muscles or skip
about them one to another. Lastly, and
in most cases the most troublesome Of
all symptoms, is depression of spirits,
the patient imagining that he has all
sorts of ailments. Persons suffering
from mental disorder as result of this
disease have been known to commit
suicide. Fortunately these cases are
not common, but it should be remem
bered that they are among the possioil-
ities.-A Doctor in New York World.
