Sharpeners.
From the Providence Tribune.

From the Providence Tribune
Judging from HIS expression. the man
seated in the show window was a very
serious-minded man. crowd was
watching him intently. In deliberate
fashion he selected an old-fashioned razor
from an assortment near him. inserted
the steel in a contrivance attached to
box, pulled vigorously on leather thong
or strop two or three times, drew hair
from a convenient switch and split it,
Then he repeated the operation with the
blade of a safety razor. Many people
split hairs for fun and are sometimes
called down for It. This man was split
ting them for salary, therefore escaped
reproos.
I've seen a good many devires OF that
Sort" said an onlooker, "and I've al
ways wondered why somebody didn't get
up something that would sharpen pocket
knives and cutlery. The sound of the
grinding is low these days. the scissors
man rarely comes round. and the average
citizen who attempts to sharpen a knife
either converts II into a saw or fixes 1t
so that you can't tell the difference be-
tween the edge of the blade and the
handle. If you borrow knife you're
generally told that 1t won't cut. which
tell a white lie and say he left 1t at home.
A sharpener for all kinds of pocket and
table knives would I'LL long-felt want"

M'N|COll REPEATS CHARGES
ALLEGED DEPRAvITY OF NEW
YORK SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Declares That His Statements Were
Made Only After Extensive
Study of Conditions.

NEW YORK, June 12.-In a statement
issued last night Or. 7 Alexander Nc
Nicoil OF this city reiterated over his
signature all his recent estimates of the
depravity OF school chi dren in New
York city. AS originally reported his
paper, which was read at Atlantic City
before the American Medical Society for
the Study of Alcohol and Other Narcotics.
caused much indignation and many de-
malls here. But DR.. McNicoll now saws
that his conclusions were drawn after
studying 3o.0n children of all ages He
did not wish them to have publicity. he
adds. but since they have attained il he
feels that they should be set forth as he
would have them
His studies. he says, reveal conditions
existing in some section of our great
American metropolis thar parallel the his
toric depraVity of ancient Sodom.
The statement further says of the chill
dren:
''F'iftyeisht per cent drink some form
OF alcoholic beverage occasionally or at
regular intervals. 81 per cent drink one
glass of beer a week to five glasses OF
beer a day; y per cent drink wine or
spirits. In some groups, he concludes.
the percentage of occasional and regu-
lar drinkers runs as high as 80. OF those
attending schools 46 per cent are back
ward in their studies.

Speeding Up.

From the Omaha Bee.
This has been called an age of labor
saving machinery. 1t might more prop
erly be called a time-saving age. The
many inventions which save labor have
for their object greater speed fully as
much, II not more. than the saving of
labor The railroads spend millions in
equipment to reduce the running time.
Large sums are expended to build ocean
steamers to clip a few hours from the
number required in crossing the ocean
and people pay handsomely for the privi-
lege of riding on the faster boats. Bund-
ings which formerly required years to
erect are now completed and occupied In
months.
In all lines of human endeavor this
speed goal IS manifest. 1t is not alone
the man whose business is urgent who
takes the fast trains and the fast boats.
They are sought just as eagerly by those
ON pleasure lent, with whom time is no
object except the consuming desire For
speed 1t is the same way with our
sports. The ball magnates at the close Of
every season meet and seek to devise
means of cutting few minutes from the
time required to play a game. The auto
mobile is supplanting the horse as a
pleasure vehicle chiefly for the reason
that it responds to the speed mania.

The Agent

One of the best ways to
sell a house is through an
agent.
An agent works hard for
his commission he must first
find a buyer who is interest
ed in the kind of property
YOU have; then he may spend
weeks trying to convince the
man that he should buy.
Often he does not sell the
house, so all his work is
done without pay. He has
spent his time, but you have
spent nothing.
You should always employ
an agent. however, because
his experience gives him a
degree of skill in closing
deals that is worth all that
he earns in the way OF COM
missions.

Growing Mindful of the Past.

From the New York Evening Post.
The historical pageant. as we practice
Il today, has ceased TO be a fad, and
promises to become an institution. The
very suddenness with which the pageant
first swept over England two or three
years ago seemed TO promise its early
demise, like the bicycle and ping-pong.
AS a matter of fact. in England its popu-
larity seems 10 be slackening, and for
natural reasons. The island is small,
and all the cities and towns thereof hav-
ing had their plunge into pomp and feast
and revelry. there was nothing for il but
to go back TO the proceedings Of the
Urban district council and tariff reform
In addition. the English set themselves
a high standard, and one hard to keep up.
In. so ancient a realm anything less than
q thousand or five hundred years old is
considered scarcely worth while com
memorating. After a thousand years Of
Oxford or eight hundred years of Coven-
try. il would be an exceptionally forward
parvenu town of two or three hundred
years that would venture to make a dis
play. With a century is antiquity
and three centuries are almost legend
1t was fortunate for the pageant that 1t
crossed the ocean al a time particularly
replete with anniversaries. Five years
ago Ii was Louisiana. Two years ago it
Was jamestown. Last year it was Quebec

Champain. merging into practically one

WOULD HAVE NEGRO PRIESTS
PLEA PRESENTED AT CATHOLIC
MISSION CONGRESS-
Paper Read by Colored Delegate
Causes Observation-Disclosures
Prepare for Vacations.

The sessions of the mission congress
closed at the Catholic university last
night With a talk by DR.. Francis c. kei
ly of the Church Extension Society on
the need Of further exertion in church
work In the home field
DR.. Kelly called attention to the great
missionary congress that was planned
for Boston next year. This was to be
divided into sections of Indian, negro,
italian and church extension. He moved
that the Catholic missionary sections
unite in the Boston congress.
This resolution resulted in the appoint
Jnent of Father Doyle TO draw up me-
mortal 10 Catholic America testifying to
the union in spirit of ali missionary
agencies
One of the interesting papers of the
congress was by Rev. ]. Plantavigne of
Baltimore. one of the two colored Cath
Ollie priests in the country. He said that
the negro problem would never be settled
In the Catholic, church till the church
ceased to treat the. negro as a problem
and treated him as a man. With this
end in view he favored the erection of
negro parishes with negro congregations
under trained negro priests. He said that
the negro did not prefer a white priest
and that many non-Catholic negroes re-
fused TO enter the church where they
would have to be under a white priest.
The paper was discussed at considerable
length. many of the prelates indorsing it
and others opposing 1t.
There will be general scattering of the
instructors of the university during the
coming vacation. Dr'Shahan the rector
will leave for New York today sailing for
Liverpool. He will stay for few days in
London and then go for very brief visit
to Rome. There he will thank the pope
personally for his appointment at the
md ,lsay,
for the extension of the institution.
DR.. Turner will visit relatives near Linn
erick. Ireland and then will go to Ger

terests of that chair. DR.. p. j.
Healy. professor of church history, will
pass most of the summer in Italy. Other
professors of the university who will go
sor of Scripture. who. after short visit
to his relatives in Nymegen. Holland. will
go to Rome TO take part in the biblical
commission. of which he is member.
The Rev. Charles Grammar. also profess
sor Of sacred Scripture. of the same COM
mission. will go to Rome to report on his
years work. DR.. Henry Hyvernat. pro-
fessor of archaeology. will spend the sum-
dent of Albert Hall. will sail today for
Antwerp. He will go to Louvain for the
jubilee.
The Rev Edward A. Pace. dean of the
philosophy faculty. and official representa-
tive of the Catholic University at the
American College in Rome celebration
will return about July 1.
Among the plans for the enlargement of
the university is one for the establish
ment there Of a normal school for nuns
This will follow on the establishment of
the undergraduate course in law recently
announced.

The Sign

When you put a sign on
your property it attracts
more attention to itself than
to the house you desire to
sell.
If the property is a resi-
dence and your object is to
convince a prospective buyer
of the select character Of the
neighborhood, a sign GER
tainly would not be good
taste.
On some kinds of proper
tv, such as a vacant lot or a
tumble-down empty house
near an abandoned coal
mine, a sign would not de-
tract from the value of the
land.
But it would not bring a
buver out to see it. Some
thing else is required to let
the buyer know where your
property is located.

1t supplements the work
of the agent-it does not re-
