The Negroes Business Capability.

y pamphlet issued from its headquar-
terS at Cheyney, Pennsylvania by the
Committee of Twelve for the Advance
ment of the Interests of the Negro Race.
contains a study of conditions in Jack
son, Mississippi, by ID. w. Woodland, of
Tuskegee Institute, that will be a revel
alton 10 those who are inclined to the
view that the colored man is inherently
inferior, and without ability to bring
about his own advancement.
This student of his race shows that the
negroes of Jackson, Mississippi. who for
merly outnumbered the whites, but who
now constitute only about one-half the
population, have been active factors dur
ing an era OF prosperity for their city.
Twelve years ago, with two conspic-
uous exceptions, the negroes were not
reckoned in the business life of the
town. Comparatively few of them owned
property, and for the most part their
holdings were merely their homes.
few fraternal societies. the churches. and
occasional organization for political pur-
poses constituted the associated activi-
ties OF the colored population. Now the
SOoO or more negroes of jackson own
one-third of the area of the city. and
;he tax record shows that 566 negroes
are assessed for an aggregate of S5S1.-
$50, or an average of S1027. 80. and al
most all of this property is i'm an i'm
proved condition. The largest single as
sessment IS S23.S00. 1t is significant
that these figures refer to real property
only.
The bank deposits of the negroes Of
jackson supply further evidence of their
ability to progress economically Ii is
estimated that the savings of the
negroes in deposit in the banks
of the city aggregate 100000. Other re
sources than the real property and the
deposits in the banks, Including SIS. OO0
worth of church property, bring the val
use of the wealth of the negroes of
Jackson TO total of about 81 $50

The spirit of the religious teacher who
was against letting the devil have all
the good tunes animates Chicago min
lister, who mas arranged for moving
picture show as a regular attraction at
his church, and will give his first enter
tainment tomorrow night His expec-
tatiop is to attract children and innocent
young women who have been lured by
nickel exhibitions that are demoralizing
and degrading, of which there are many
in Chicago. His idea is to provide 'mu-
sic and moving pictures and all the de-
cent fun that can be found in a nickel
theater," picking out for illustration
stories entertaining to the young. and
removing the temptation to go to bad
shows by offering a good show which
they viii like just as well and which it
will he better for them to attend. This
clerical innoyator is the Rev. Hugh L,
Kerr, of the Fullerton Avenue Presby-
| terrain Church, and the probability is
that the example which he has set in
this matter will be widely followed

coming into the cities from the whole

know only the old system. and their
parents know only that, but they feel
the pulse of the new lie and they can
not be held back

grown up. Instead she takes I'll her Lit.
tie schoolgirl pleasures with tne full con-
seriousness that when they are over there
will come time when devotion to duty
will be almost the only pleasure in life

days the mother-in-law's house waits for
her. and that there in the lowest place
IN strangers house she will have to
work patiently her way up to the re-
spect and good will of strange family.
The little daughter of a wealthy
house goes to school from 6 to II. She
learns reading, writing, natural science,
English, the koto, sewing, cooking and
the tea ceremony.

Dandelions and Milk.

Many farmers believe that dandelions
increase the yield of milk. and conse-
quently that the presence of dandelions
in pastures and meadows is rather desir-
able than otherwise. A Belgian inves-
tigator, ]. z. Wagner, has shown the in
correctness of this opinion, which. he
says, is founded wholly on false analo-
gy suggested by the milky juice of the
dandelion. According to Wagner, the
presence OF dandelions in large numbers
in pastures eXerts very deleterious eff
feet on the quality Of the butter. and is
one of the numerous causes of the diff
Guilty of making butter of fine flavor and
good keeping qualities in spring aad
early summer. The presence of large
quantities of dandeliOns in hay has a
similar effect. Hence Wagner advises
farmers TO weed their pastures whenever
it is practicable to do So.-Boston Post.

The decision of the select committee
Of the board of estimates of New York
city in regard to the proposed limitation
of the height of "skyscrapers" is a com
promise that is said to foreshadow the
adoption of the Flagg proposition that
buildings be erected in receding stages,
so that light will be insured for the up
per stories and for the streets. ''Sky-
scrapers" constructed in this way would
afford more room for architectural beau
tifcation. and the skylines of cities like
New York would be a succession of

BY organizing for the purpose of es-
tablishing a line of steamers from San
Francisco to La Boca, Panama, to con
meet with the Panama railroad, the mer-
chants of California have compelled the
Pacific Mail Steamship, the water adj

to make a heavy cut in its rates by the

Four singers bless this weary world
And with their voices all bewitch
Earth thrills when joyous Summer sings

And, blending with the carol glad,
Fail sings a mournful melody

Then Winter lifts his mighty voice
And, filling every lonely place
Throughout the wood and vale resounds
His booming bass
Before his echo dies away
