AWAY WITH THE CURRYCoMB!

Still another humane movement in Syracuse which has the distinc- tion of being unique originated with the Syracuse fire department, the chief of which, John P Quigley, some months ago sent out an order by which he abolished the use of currvcombs in his department and expressed himself thoroughly con- vinced that the currycomb in the hands of the average man is an in- strument of torture to the horse. The shingling of the foretop of horses is also ordered to be dispensed with, the foretop and mane of horses being now allowed to grow. As a substitute for the currycomb Chief Quigley recommended the use of fiber cloth or fiber brush-Vogue,

ANTS IN THE HOUSE.

An old Brooklyn housekeeper IS authority for the statement that ants of any sort can be routed by the free use of air slaked lime. Sprinkle freely in the places they frequent and they will leave at once. A Mis- souri remedy for ants consists in mixing a little tartar emetic with an equal quantity of powdered sugar. Put in a saucer, moisten with water to a cream and place where ants are troublesome. If the water dries away add more. This is said to be unfailiry.
 Garden ants can be driven away ov sprinkling ashes saturated with coal oil about their haunts. Another good way is to locate their nests, place quicklime at the mouth and wash down with boiling hot water.

TREASURES FOR COLLECTORS.

It will not be long before the sum- mer tourists of wealth, who are ''do- ing" Norway, Sweden and Denmark, in search of new hooks to explore, find out the veritable treasures in rich old oak furniture that the peas ants cottages so frequently conceal. The motorists will have the best luck at finds" for the automobile can and does take many roads far from the beaten track, which naturally means many delightful discoveries. The peasants, however, especially in Norway, know full well the value of each piece, and, besides, are loath to give up these inherited evidences of refinement. Beautiful carving dis tinguishes the greater number of those found thus far.

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER
 An ideal newspaper for the Ameri- can home must be habtually clean and high minded, it must offer something of interest to every member of the family, and it must present daily the news of the whole world in authentic and readable form. A large contract, you will say. Well, the newspaper that comes nearest to filling it in the West is the Chicago Record Herald. It's moral tone is always high, it's news service is unsurpassed and prob ably no other paper in the United States has so brilliant an array of special features suited to the tastes and needs of every member of the family.
 Business and professional men have long regarded the Record-Herald as the best paper for their own reading because of it's unequaled faculty for getting all the news of the world and putting it into the briefest possible form for the busy man. They also es- tecm it for the reliability of it's finan- cial, agricultural and market reports, Young men perhaps find it's greatest attraction in the excellent sporting de- partment, which fills four entire pages on Sunday and page or more on other days. Wives and mothers em- phatically prefer the RecordHerald on account of it's well-conducted feminine departments-its daily recipes and menus, it's daily fashion news and hints for home dressmaking, Mme. Qui Wives pungent and sensible beauty talks, Marion Harland's famous page and the rest of the good things that make up the handsome Womans sec ton in the Sunday paper. Children enjoy the Little Memo and other comic section pictures, with the bright stor- ies for boys and girls every Sunday. And all the family together can enjoy the interesting travels and special ar ticles of William E. Curtis, MT. Kiser's humor and verse, the serial stories and many similar features outside the news columns.
 The Chicago Record Herald has ev- cry right to call itself the best all around family newspaper in the West.

HER WHITE LACE CAP.

Almost every possible sort of head gear may be seen at the New York theaters. Peach-basket hats, pill-boI hats, hats befeathered and below cred, but it is seldom that one sees a little old-fashioned white lace cap set on the head of a little old-fash- toned woman. One such, however, was seen the other evening, the wom- en all about who either wore their exaggerated headgear or had it, like flower gardens and miniature fruit trees of various kinds in their laps, looking over and at the sweet-faced little woman with the white hair and the fine lace cap forgiyingly, lenient- ly, and some of them with an adniI- ing smile.

ASSET TO MAN OF BUSINESS
Ability to Converse We'll Is an Ao- compIishment Highly to Be
 Desired.

There is no other one thing which enables us to make so good an lm- pression, especially upon those who do not know us thoroughly, as the ability to converse well. A man who can talk well, who has the art of putting things in an attractive way, who can interest others lmme- diatelv by his power of speech, has very great advantage over one who may know more than he, but who cannot express himself with ease or eloquence.
 You may be a good singer, fine artist, you may have great many accomplishments which people occa- sionally see or enjoy; you may have very beautiful home and a lot of property which comparatively few people ever know about but if you are good converser, every one you meet recognizes and appreciates your art Everybody you converse with feels tn. influence of your skill and charm
 In other words, there is no ac- complishment, no attainment, which you can use so constantly and ef- fectisely which will give so much pleasure to your friends as fine con- fcrsation. There Is no doubt that the gift of language was intended to be much greater accomplishment than the majority of us have ever made of it.-Orison Swett Warden, in Success Magazine.

Eliot and Ogden.
Norfolk Landmark.

Norfolk Landmark.
We think there is all the differences
in the world between DIR. Eliot and
Mr.. Ogden as educational visitors
Here and there the views of DIR. Eliot
may not coincide with our own, but
We recognize in him n man who has
earned the right to he considered
specialist in education; n man who in
not a faddist. but IA sincere philoso.
pher; u man who stands for culture
more than he stands for coin; n man
who, with all his learning, experience
and wisdom, refrains from any IN
pleasant or impertinent suggestion,
either by word OF mouth or by the
method OF his coming among Us. We
feel that thereis a great deal our peo-
pie can learn about education from
DIR. Eliot: we do not feel that Mr..
Ogden is qualified To instruct the
South along that line.
This elaboration of the Landmarks
views is given because the paper has
wrestled long with the Ogden problem
and reached the conclusion, with re-
luctance, that the movement is part
OF a great plan to direct educational
activity from the point of view OF
few financial magnates who do not un-
derstand or properly consider local
questions, The ogden movement"
is allied with the general education
board; and it was suggested, when
that board received it's last contribu-
ton OF $50, 600, 900 from Mr.. Rookie
Teller, that it might be able to say
what educational institution should
survive or perish and practically ode
termine the character OF American

A Mischievous SANDER.
! Norfolk Nirginian Pilot.

Norfolk Sirginian- Pilot.
Sooner or later, Justice is going to
be done to those negro taxpayers
who in some places are taxed for
white schools when their own chill
dren have small or no opportunities.
New York Evening Post.
The Post is a chronic hater and
villifier OF the Southern people but
goes in the above paragraph far be-
yond the latitude it usually INDUCES
toward truth and decency in dealing
with subjects pertaining to this Sec
ton. There is no such condition
anywhere, in the South as that which
the Post alleges. Out of the hun
dreds OF millions which the Southern
States have expended for free schools
in the forty years succeeding their
political rehabilitation, the aggre-
gate contributed by the negroes has
not announced to an appreciable per
centage OF the whole, though the
average of attendance by negro pu-
pills outnumbers the white scholars
in nearly every State. Nor is there
one system for the negroes and an
other for the whites, so far as the
common schools are concerned. The
owners of the property in the South
have taxed themselves continuously
and heavily in the hope OF fitting
their former slaves for the citizenship
lmprovidently thrust upon them by
Northern fanaticism; and this burden
was assumed by the Southern whites
at the very time when the negro was
being used by Northern politicians
OF the school to which the editor of
the Post belongs, as the instrument
for the political oppression OF their
former masters. The generosity and
patience OF the South in dealing with
the other race has no parallel in his
tory. Such progress as the blacks
have made is due not to the spas
modic philanthropy which the Post
voices, but to the systematic self
denial of a people straitened for
means and returning good for evil.
The remarks of the Post are extracted
from an article laudatory of the
Ogden crusade and prophetic of the
good fruit it is destined to bring
forth; but il that is the spirit which
underlies the mission of Mr.. Ogden
and his cOlaborers they are provok-
ing resentment which would bode
i'll to the negro. Ii the white man g
burden in the South is to be a thank
less as well as an almost hopeless job;
if they are to be reviled instead of
commended for taxing themselves to
supply education to the pauperized
race saddled upon their charity; then
Mr.. Vardaman and Mr. Tillman will
not be long in finding converts to
their contention that the negro be
given only such training as the money
he contributes to the school fund will
pay for. So far that proposition has
ELECTED small support in the South.
But the Post is qualifying itself to be
an efficient recruiting officer for the
Southern element which has hereto
fore called in vain for q division of
the school revenues in proportion as
the two races have contributed them
If this should be done not five per
cent OF the black children would have
any provision made for them; and
their parents might whistle until
dOomsday before the meddlesome
classes of the North would put their
hands in their pockets to supply the
deficit.
