fact that members Of all the tribes that they

they found tliat this was due to the fact that
the digestive organs OF the negro had never been
impaired, and that they were able at ell times
to take care of the coarse foods that were taken
into the stomach.
The negroes food is of the plainest kind and
is seldom IL ever cooked. 1t is eaten as 1t ID
found, with but little preparation.
The cause Of unsound and imperfect teeth
found among civilized people is due to two in
portant facts--thc prevalence Of dyspepsia in
digestion and stomach troubles. and the food
We eat.
In the foods that We eat there is n lack OF
phosphstes and other materials necessary to
make repairs and supply the waste in the teeth.

are free from dyspepsia. which interferes with

work of the A. NJ. E. Church in Florida
In an address said: What you want to
put into the nation you must put into
the schools. for there is to be found the
nation Of tomorrow We must put some.
thing into the hearts and minds of our
young people. Let us reach them through
the Sunday school as we'll as our common
schools and colleges"
Bishop c. T. Shaffer thought above all
the convention should commend the cru
SADIE against intemperance in this coun-
try, for it was that which had retarded
the progress Of the negro more than any
other agency.
Bishop r. S. Williams of Augusta Ga,
said the sensational press of the coun-
try, (which is constantly showing up
the bad deeds of the negroes is doing
much to stir up race feeling race hatred
and prejudice, and wanted the con-
veEtion to appeal to it to treat the negro
like other men and races. Give to the
world the good deeds of the race as we'll
as the bad deeds.
Among the distinguished chuvchmen
who were present this morning were
J. A. Lindsay of Savannah. Ga. and
Rev. r. II. w. Leak. DID,. of Raleigh,

Of the bishops. especially the political
stand Of Bishop Alexander Walters. Rev.

lighted to see how our people show their
appreciation for the efforts of Senator

stand, and the world will respect us the
more. Nobody has any use for a cow

THE OPERA.
Il Appears to Have Originated In Italy

Il Appears to Have Originated In Italy
In the Wear 1900.
The way Streatfeild, author of "The
Opera" traces the development of op-
era through the centuries is most clear
and concise and leaves you with the
impression that upon the matter of
history, at any rate, he is master Of
bis subject Opera, it is shown, was
the result of an attempt made by
some Florentine amateurs to revive
the lost glories Of Greek tragedy. They
failed to get back to the conditions of
!Athenian drama, but in failing they
nnconsciously laid the foundations Of
new art form which soon worked
itself into the affections of the peo-
pie. The beginnings of opera might
be said to date from the year 1900,
when public performance was given
in Florence of Peri's "Euridice' in
honor of the marriage of Maria de-
Medici and Henry Nv. of France. This
work consists almost entirely of ac-
companied recitative, which was the
invention of these Florentine reform
cl anu tut NUlCGS were dCCOlupdul6u
by ''violin, chitarone "a large GUITAR.
Ira grande, Into crosse and gravicem-
balo or harpsichord, which filed in
the harmonies indicated by the figured
bass" 1t is interesting to know that
in this very primitive work the COM
poser tried to follow as closely as pos
sible in his music the ordinary inf1ec-
lions of the speaking voice. Monte
verde who was a contemporary Of
Peri, but whose first opera was pro-
duced some seven years after "Eurid-
ice," made a similar effort to recon
cile music with speech, and many
years after Gluck and still later Wag-
ner tried to do so, and it is amusing
when one knows how far in other di-
rections music as an art and opera as
convention have progressed since
1900 to think that old Peri was prob
ably closer to the Debussys and Rey-
naldo Hahns Of our day than all the
great men who have come between

THE CANOES.

Ancient Legends Of the Sacred River
of the Hindoos.
From an icy cavern at the foot of
Himalayan snow bed more than 10000
feet above the level of the sea issues
small stream which becomes the
mighty Ganges, flowing for 1900 miles
through India to the bay Of Bengal,
and of whose course every foot is holy
ground.
With Mother Ganga, as the pious
Hindoos reverently call her, no river
on earth can compare in sanctity.
The old poem tells us that the heav-
emily Gauges flowed from the toe Of
Vishnu and was brought down from
heaven by the prayers OF the saint
Bhagiratha to purify the ashes of the
10000 sons Of King Sagara, who had
been burnt by the angry glances Of the
sage Kapila. " ~
Ganga was angry at being brought
down from heaven, and to save the
earth from her iinpetuous rush silva
caught the river on his brow and with
his matted locks checked its course.
The legends go on to tell how the de-
scent Of the Ganges disturbed the sage
Jahnu in the performance Of his reli-
gious duties, whereupon in his rage he
drank up the river, but subsequently
relented and permitted 1t to flow from
hts ear.-Pearson's Weekly.
