Spanish Should be Taught in Schools

A correspondent asks what do you
consider the most useful language
for for a Western boy to learn be-
sides his native tongue? The an
swer is, undoubtedly, Spanish. The
American boy is presumably going
into business when he gets through
high school because less than five
per cent of them go to college, and
he wants to learn that language
which will best fit him to succeed.
Spanish is the language of all our
foreign possessions except Hawaii,
and it is spoken there to great
extent. Our adopted child, Cuba, is
thoroughly Spanish, while nothing
else is spoken in Mexico, Central and
South America. Every day our trade
with the Spanish speaking peoples is
increasing and the countries men
toned present the greatest oppor-
tunities for the American boy today.
One reason why the English and
German merchants are so successful
in the South American trade is be-
cause they learn the Spanish Ian
guage thoroughly We in this coun-
try must do the same if we wish
to rival them.
French and German are the only
modern languages taught in the
public schools of Bellingham and we
have always feared there was some
thing wrong with the head Of the
man who prescribed the course OF
study. French is valuable accom-
plishment for a man of leisure who
is going to make an extended toul
of Europe German is valuable also
both for the European traveller and
the business men in this country en-
gagged in the German trade. But
only three persons have journeyed
| to continental Europe from Belling
ha1 in the past three years and
none of them spoke French or Ger
man. Not one out of thousand
students who are forced to take two
years of French or German evel
make the slightest use of either Ian
guage. They read them indifferently
write them a little and speak then
not at all.

The Pacific coast boy is not goin:
to emigrate to France or Germany
but he Is quite likely to venture a
far as the Philippines or Mexico. I

SWAP DOGS FOR PIGS.
The Basis Of What Became a Profit
able Trade.

Some years ago there was a negro
conference at Tuskegee, Ala, the
site of Booker T. Washington's ia
nous institute, and one of the most
profitable speakers was Mrs. Lucy
Nelson of Dadeville, Ala. This wo-
man was an extremely black African.

passed, indeed, the "sunbonnet
stage" as Mr.. Washington calls
those of his people just budding into
a more ambitious and broader exist
Lence Under the cross-examination
of Mr.. Washington the woman re-
lated a most interesting experience
an experience that should be an
inspiration to the whole colored race.
do the people in your community
own homes. Mrs. Nelson?" asked
Booker T. Washington.
II thinks they's fixin' to own em,
sah.'
But do they own them?"
"a heap of times you can't just
tell, sab. But they's holdin' 'em
down."
'Do you own your homer"
Eyes, sab, l do" proudly. And
I can tell you jest how I got it. l
snapped a puppy dog for it."
"Huh?' said Mr. Washington, ex-
pressively.
Eyes, sah," the woman persisted.
Il means jest what I says
TELL us about it,"
''Well, it was this way When l
started | didn't have nothing at all
but jest little yaller puppy dog.
l took the dog over to my brother
in-law's. He had eight little bits of
pigs, oh. just so little; an l swap
ped the puppy with him for one of
the pigs. It was sech a little pig
that it didn't look like it would live,
but / nursed it good, and l prayed
to the Lord to make that little pig
come for'ard to do me good; and
the pig lived and grew. The first
year I turned her out, and when she
came back In the fall she brought
me seven little pigs with her. That
was my start. I've never had to buy
any meat since. This winter I've
killed three hogs, and I've got an
other at home now ready to kill. I've
got forty acres of land now, all paid
for, and a house, and it all come
from that one little puppy"
do you hear that" exclaimed Mr..
"you men? Some of
you'd better go back home and swap
your dogs for pigs!' New York

For ordinary use the best polish
for furniture is mixture of equal
quantities of turpentine and paraffine
oil. This should be rubbed on with
a wooden cloth, the surface being pol
ished with a soft wooden cloth and
finally with piece Of fine linen.
An excellent cream for massage
and for softening the skin on the face
and hands is made according to the
following recipe: Take pure white
wax one-eighth of an ounce, sperma-
cetione ounce and one-quarter, sweet
almond oil one ounce and one-quarter
and rose water three-fourtl1s of an
ounce.
To make furniture look like new,
dissolve one-fourth of cake of soap
in boiling water, add it to pail of
warm water, in which put two table
spoonfuls Of Kerosene Stir thorough
ly and then wash the furniture with
soft cloth moistened in the COM
pound. Wipe dry with a clean, soft
cloth, rubbing gently.
Nickel and steel articles are best
polished by using emery powder
mixed with tablespoonful of sweet
oil and tablespoonful of turpentfne.
Use enough of the powder to make
thin paste and apply with a flannel.
Finish with a piece of flannel cloth
dipped in a little of the dry powder,
which should be very fine.
Even severe bilious attack may
often be overcome by taking the juice

use of the remedy should be contin-

The best thing to do if you happen
to overboil potatoes is tod rain off
the water as much as possible. Put
them still in the saucepan, but with
out the lip, over the fire and stir with
a wooden spoon till the water has
evaporated and the potatoes become
floury. Mash them until no Jumps
are left. Add salt, Pepper, a lump OF
butter or dripping and little milk.
Mix and beat well and serve as
mashed potatoes.
