Why the Marquis Paid.

The famous surgeon Velpeau was
visited one day at his house during
the consultation hour by a marquis
renowned for his closeness. NeIpeau
informed the marquis that an opera
ton was urgent and that the Tee
would amount to 1000 francs. At this
the marquis made a face and lett. A
fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, While
making his rounds in the Hospital de
la Charlie, had his attention attract
ed bv a face that seemed familiar to
him. In answer to his inquiry 1t was
stated that the patient was footman
of q nobleman in the Faubourg SAINT
German. The surgeon found that his
case resembled in every particular
the somewhat unusual one for which
the marquis had consulted him fort
night previously. He refrained, how
ever, from making any comments.
Three weeks after the operation,
wien the patient was about to be dis

charged Dr.. Velpeau called him aside
and exclaimed:
Monsieur, l am extremely fatter-
ed and pleased to have been able to
cure you. There is, however, a small
formality with which you will have to
comply before I can sign your exeat;
that is, you will have to sign a check
for 10000 francs in behalf of the
public charity bureau Of your metro
politan district. E" The patients face
became livid
"You can do what you like about
it, continued the doctor; "but if
you refuse all Paris will know to-
morrow that the Marquis de D
adopted the disguise Of a footman in
order to secure free treatment at this
hospital and to usurp the place which
belongs by right to pauper." OF

GUARDING AGAINST QUAKEs'
Builders Must Try to Meet the Inevi-
table Exigencies.

Frank A. Perret, formerly honor
ary assists 1T at Royal Vesuvian OBJ
servatory. was one Of those who re-
mained at that post Of duty during
the great eruption Of 1906. He has
since studied at close range the vol
cano at Stromboll in action; in l9O|
he predicted that great disturbance
Of Aetna was impending, and he was
on his way to Sicily when the Mes
sina tragedy took place. Writing of
1.-THE Messina Earthquake" in the
Century, Mr.. Perret declares its les
son a two-fold one and the freshness
of the San Francisco horror brings
the warning home.
"Those who live in earthquake dis
tricts should build their houses to
withstand these vibrations Of the
ground. This is feasible, and it is to
be hoped that all ruined towns will be
rebuilt accordingly. But it IS mani
festly too much to exp that exist
ing cities in earthquake districts will
be torn down and rebuilt and there
fore those who favor the spending OF
large sums Of money for astronomical
and other research for the proper
study Of the world on which We live,
in order that we may learn its Sc
crets and foretell its movements, and
thus prevent great earthquake from
being also a great disaster: This, too,
is feasible, and it is a matter OF vital
importance to humanity.
MAY it not be hoped that this last
great catastrophe, with its hldeous
loss Of human life and its enormous
total cost, will cause the lesson to be
taken to heart?"

Parents can do much to make or mar

the teachers work a success than the
knowledge that she has the good will

and acts accordingly"

The Interpretation which Mr.. Has
kin places upon the above is as fol-
lows:
"In this triangular fight for the con-
troll of Manchuria, this great empire
of the future, China has the right and
Russia and Japan have the might. A
greater Japan, Japan the captain of
Asia leading the titanic struggle
against white supremacy on earth,
means the doom of Russian dreams. "
This Titanic struggle against white
supremacy" is going on all over the
world. The white man has, hereto
fore maintained his supremacy by his
superior intelligence and organization;
but the .Asiatic nations are rapidly ap-
proximating to his standard. Japan
has an army and navy at least equal
to those of many Of the white nations
and as capable officers and statesmen
as any of them. The future is full of
promise for Asiatic races.

THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN Ed
TORS

It is remarkable fact that the Cau-
casion editors persist in speaking of
the Afro-Americans of the United
States as if they were as wild, ig-
norant and uncultivated as the tribes
of the jungles of Africa. For in
stances the Washington Herald says:
"The Negro does not know by in
heritance or early training how to
care for himself, either as to temper
ature or sanitation. He still needs
supervision and instruction, even COM
pulsory, in such affairs of self-preser-
vation."
The foregoing is true in reference
to large fraction of the race, just as
it is true of a very large number of
both races. So far as the North is
concerned, there is very little differ
ence in the intelligence or mode of
living Of members of the two races, if
we compare individuals of about equal
means OF living. It would be hard to
find, in any part of the United States,
any Afro-Americans who need super
vision and instruction as to sanitary
matters so badly as the miners in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ac-
cording to the testimony of credible
witnesses, the miners live in a co1di-
ton of utter disregard of the rules of
decency or hygiene. The case of the
Afro-American is not peculiar one;
as general thing he compares, class
by class, very we'll with his white
neighbors. .a., ,

1t is said that law is contemplated
in Mississippi, making it unlawful for
an Afro-American to practice medi-
cine, dentistry or pharmacy in that
state, and THE APPEAL should not
be surprised in time to learn of its
passage. Indeed, it would fail to be
surprised if down there in Vardaman-
land law should be passed declaring
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments void; for: Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad.
