The WRITING Of Books.

from the London Saturday Review.
1t is not only question of some books

of books, high or low, today being far
too many. A man who cannot write Is
yet often a prolific producer Of printed
matter in books and papers. If he has
been somewhere, or knows something. or
has thought OF something. that Is enough
the printing press Is ready. 1t Is just

not only ar art, 1t is an extremely diff
cult art. Is It not strange thing that
today, when there is next to no chance
for any writer in any province OF print
unless he can produce something I'M

TUSKE EGEE INSTITUTE

In speaking of the institution. of which the public
has heard so much the principal thereof Dr. Booker
T. Washington, recently enumerated what constitutes
Tuskegee, which is as follows:
1--WE have at Tuskegee 3, 900 az res of land on which
the school stands 23 900 of public land in north
ern Alabama, SO buildings, $4,000 dining hall,
900 acres of farming land 20 miles of fence around
the grounds IL miles of paved streets about the
grounds, 26 steam boilers and engines, railroad of
10 miles, water and electric plants, 5000 ncandesent
and arc lights ice plant 200 horses and mules, 300
CATTLE 5000 hogs savings bank which clears about
$780, 900 annually United States post office appoint
ment by the President g. 400 students and teachers
The value of the property is $1000 900, and the
dowment Is So, O0O,000 This is what we have to
make Tuskegee We must raise $780, 900 each year to
carry on this great work"
All of which to the person, who will stop to think,
has been accumulated within the past twenty-five
years and all of which kas been planned by one mind
makes it almost miraculous. That Booker T. Wash
ington is without peer in bis line is admitted fact
by the civilized world, and while his abors have been
osensby in the interest of the coored youths of the
South they have also benefited the whites almost as
much. their parents are patterning schools after
Tuskegee all over that section of the country.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

The human family seems so constituted that 1t is

ever always few who are to be found betwiXt and
between better known as conservatives but great
majority of the human family are extremists just
few years ago and New Year was looked upon IN the
most serious light and the older heads met at the
churches and prayed and mourned the old year out
and the new year in while the younger ones spooned

they did not dare impose too much upon their religious
ncreulties because they really believed that sacrgl-

broad roads of sin and vice and more especially the
latter and took up the other extreme of the New
Year celebration and indulged in orgies and reverles
that not only put the church folk to shame but all
manner of respectable manhood.
In most of the cities in the East and especially New
York the New Year orgies are debauching that for
respectable woman to be out on that evening is
almost the same as publicly admitting that she is
woman of the town. and she would certainly be so con-
sidered by all OF her acquaintances if seen going in
the cafes and restaurants that make special prepara
sions for that occasion
We see no reason excuse OF wearing face
foot long because the old year is passing away and
new coming in. for if you have not prospered IN
the old year. kicking dying man does good and it
is not common sense to scod at person. who was IN
no sense responsible for your nisfortunes.
