is not welcomed at either of these
places. During the very brief space
of time our bishops remain among us
it is practically impossible for any
of the colored bretheren' outside of
the members of the cabinet, to come
into contact or personal association
with them or for them to become
personally acquainted with but few of
us.
Hence the depressing effect upon
our ministry and membership.
The times are changed and We have
changed with them. The DAYS of
Haven and Walden, of Wiley and New
man and Mallalieu are no more. Ham
ilton, ! believe, still stands as one of
the old guard. Doubtless, and I be-
lieve. there are others equally as
catholic, and just as Christlike as
they.
If one Of these men go to Africa,
and do there what each did here. and
should happen to die there he would
be cannonized; but down here he
would be apt to be ostracised, and his
death would not provoke great sor-
row.
Better Episcopal supe vision ap-
pears to be given today to Korea
or India than to our work in the
South; to South America than to
South Carolina.
Sixthly. The failure of the church
to elect a colored bishop or general
superintendent. Practically one tenth
OF the entire membership of the
church consists of her colored MEM
bers. Long ago Tilloston said Christ
ianity secures both the private in
trests Of our men and the public
peace, enforcing all justice and equ-
ity." I appeal to the great church,
and ask in all candor, is it not time
to give us equitable representation
on the Board of Bishops? Can there
not be found, after nealy a half CEN
tury OF training and service, at least
two men sufficiently equipped to try
the experiment with? This need
appears to be imperative. Social and
radical conditions in the South must
be reckoned with and regarded. Until
we shall have a general conference
composed of men a two thirds major
ity of whom shall vote for a colored
man for the episcopacy we need not
look for any material increase in our
colored nbership.
Until we have some bishop in our
church of commanding influence with
convictions on this question and the
courage TO express them, and some
one or more of the editors of our
church papers of outstanding iniu-
ence to endorse his differences the
outlook does not appear to be favor

SPLINTERS IN HIS SPINE.
Surgeons Perform Unique Operation
To Save Man from Paralysis.

An operation unique in the annals
of surgery was performed in st. Jo-
seph's hospital on John Bradley, So
years old, of Franklin and Race
streets, who was injured in al ele-
vator accident November 1 8 last. His
spine and several ribs were fractured,
and when removed to the hospital
he physicians had little hope for his
recovery, as several pieces of the
splintered bone had been driven into
the spinal cord. This operation was
for the purpose of removing these
pieces of bone, which We're causing a
condition of paralysis to exist in his
lowe reXtremities.
By careful nursing and attention
the physicians have caused Bradley's
general condition to improve to such
an extent that, except for the fact
that he has had no power of move
ment in his legs, his health was per-
feet. Several days ago it was decided
to operate, as the doctors We're con-
WINGED that otherwise the man would
be hopeless cripple for the remain
der of his life. Bradley was anxious
to go through the ordeal, insistins
that he would rather not live thai
be paralyzed.
| A more delicate operation ca
scarcely be imagined, the physician
say The slightest slip while the sur
geon was extracting the pieces o
bone from the mans exposed spina
cord probably would have caused in
slant death. The operation is believ-
ed by physicians to have been COM
plete success. All the splinters were
removed, and it is thought that
when the bruised tissue heals the pa
tient will have complete control OF
mis- legs. -Philadelphia Record.

FICHU IN GRACEFUL DRAPE
Pretty Idea That Might Be Copied by
Those DESTROYS Of Having Dis.
tlnctlVe Appearance.

On q charming little frock too new
to have been initiated as yet the
graceful fichu was draped rather open
" to show a vest or tucker" Of fine
white batiste, the unique openwork
stripes Of which, running up and down,
were simple rows where threads had
been drawn and the open spaces even
~ double hemstitched in black work
ing silk. The neck edge Of this was
rounded, and oval eyelets Of the same
black working silk were threaded
through with q little twisted cord Of
black silk, the tasselled ends Of which
fell to the knot Of the fichu.
The turnback cuffs were Of the
same hemstitched batiste, but with
ne upper edges also double hem
.S1tched, giving a rather severe but
extremely up to date touch. A little
panel Of the same was let in the skirt,
revealed by the side draping Of the
gown fabric, and the waist line was
outlined by q cordeiiere Of black silk.
This double hemstltching, which is
even more effective and new, as used
for dress trimming, than the single
hemstitch so much favored by Pari-
sian modistes, Is by no means trouble
some to work II only care be taken to
take up the same number Of threads
with each new knotting. 1t is worked
on the right side Of the material, and
when done in q heavy silk thread Of
contrasting color lends itself to many
charming combinations. In white on

cd for the borders Of the new fichus,
and several rows can be wrought, one

COSTS LESS THAN IS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEATIN
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN.
sWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year Of 1911 than did almost any
other portion Of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops Of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good. but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
In August and the effects Of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield OF
wheat were reduced to 90 and 80 BUSH
els, while some Of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face of these conditions, 1t is found
that during the months OF September
and October, the total amount Of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized total Of 1871 million dollars.
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97% cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of S9h cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
Of IS million bushels. which realized
q total Of a little over thirty-one MIL
lion dollars.
On the first Of November, there
was in the hands Of the farmers OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels Of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had OF the value
Of the wheat crop Of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win.
nipeg Free Press made Of a number
Of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cts. q bushel. The
average freight rate is not over IL
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 6S cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat Of
liz cts. and for his high-grade wheat
of 1871 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, It is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount Of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid. unless the
value Of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below It's present level.

most berries on, II 10 fair to suppose
that they know a kiss must be given
for each berry plucked, and that the
ceremony IL never complete until
every berry is OF the branch.
There was once a common, though
mistaken belief that the mistletoe
grew on oak trees only. but that was
so far from true that the Druids. who
held the oak as absolutely sacred be-
cause they believed 1t to represent
the One Supreme God, deemed the
mistletoe doubly sacred II found on
one, and carefully guarded 1t until the
sixth day after the first new moon
Of each year.
When this time arrived, priests
robed in white surrounded the tree
and held solemn ceremonies, among
which was the sacrifice Of two white
bulls.
After the ceremonies, q priest in
spotless robes assembled the tree and,
with a golden knife, cut the mistle-
toe and let It fall on to q white cloth
held by other priests.
The branches were then formally
blessed" and divided among the peO-
pie who believed the sprays given
them to have miraculous powers.
The common belief in the efficacy
Of the plant was such that It was
called all.heal; but according to m
old legend. a certain lover searched
mapy days for q specimen growing
on IN oak tree, that he might secure
its branches for the cure Of his be-
trothed, who was sick unto death, but
when he found It he touched the sap
while cutting the branches, and fell
dead near the tree, indicating that
the sap was q deadly poison.
The plant thrives In America from
New Jersey southwark and westward,
and those who know It only a. apart
Of Christmas decorations can have
little idea Of how often It Overruns
trees to the extent Of being 4 nuis-
ance.
