q
The negro blood wherever It is. de-
clares Ray Stannard Baker in Ameri-
can Magazine, supplies an element Of
light heartedness which will not be
wholly crushed. In illustration he tells
this story of very light mulatto Of
Tennessee:
A number of years ago it came to
him suddenly one day that he was
White enough to pass anywhere for
white, and he acted instantly on the
inspiration. He went to Memphis and
bought first class ticket on Missis-
sippi river boat to Cincinnati. No one
suspected that he was colored. He sat
at the table with white people and even
occupied stateroom with a white
man. At first, he said, he could hardly
restrain his exultation, but after a
time, although he associated with the
white men, he began to be lonesome.
1T grew colder and COLDER" he said.
In the evening he sat on the upper
deck, and as he looked over the railing
he could see down below the negro
passengers and deck hands talking and
laughing. After time when it grew
darker they began to sing the inimita-
BILE negro songs. -
"That finished me,' he said. 81 got
up and went downstairs and took my
place among them. I've been negro
ever SINCE"

The Elder Robert Fulton,

Robert Fulton was born at Little
Britain, Lancaster county, Pa, Nov.
ii, 1865. His btographers have called
him "a self made man" and have
made but brief reference to his par
entage. It is noteworthy that his ia
ther, the senior Robert Fulton, in "a
failure to leave financial patrimony to
his children has not been accorded the
mention of other achievements, not
slight in those primitive days. His an
cestors crossed from Scotland to ire
land prior to the time of Cromwell.
From Kilkenny, Ireland, the Fulton
family came to America before the
year 1885. The senior Robert Fulton
was among the prominent men of
Lancaster, his name having been on
record upon all the town organizations
which existed at that period. He was
founder of the Presbyterian church,
the secretary of the Union Fire COM
pany and charter member Of the
Juliana library of Lancaster, the third
library established in the American
colonies.-Century.

The pon,,Iar Coral

The dealer held up two strings of
coral. They were Of equal size, but one
was dark and dull in hue, the other
beautifully pink and translucent.
"The dark one," he said, 'is worth
80 cents; the pink one is worth $500.

It suits all pocketbooks. All over the
world it goes. These strings Of rough,
uncut beads are for the dead Of India.
They are put round the necks Of the

Blooms but to Die:

The taliput palm (Corypha umbracu-
lifera) Of Ceylon, whose leaves are put
to such numerous uses by the Cinga-
lese, bears fruit but once during It's
life. This elegant tree measures about
ten feet round the trunk and attains q
height of about 1870 feet. The flowers,
the appearance of which presages
death to the tree, are inclosed in tall
spathe which bursts with a loud re-
port, disclosing huge plume Of beau
tiful blossom. The inforescence is sue

Of fruit. When these have ripened the
