The American Negroes Lot.
From the New York Tribune.

Booker T. Washington has taken a
novel and highly effective method of prov
ing that the conditions under which the
American negro lives and works are by
no means as unfavorable as they are
sometimes supposed to be. He says that
he has encountered not a few negroes
who feel that their condition and pros
poets are worse than those of any other
group of human beings" To show the
extravaganza of that view he is writing
a series of articles based on a study OF
conditions in Europe among the classes
whose lot is hardest. He is describing
what he has seen of the wretchedness
of the poor of London-the greatest cen
ter of pauperism in the world-and of the
Indulgence of the agricultural laborers OF
Poland. Austria. Hungary, Sicily and
other parts of the continent, where the
status OF farm labor is in some respects
similar to the status of farm labor in
the south. The result of these compari-
sons is altogether in favor of the Ameri-
can negro farmland. He has steadier
employment, gets better wages for less
work, is better fed and in an economical
sense is far more favored than the agri-
cultural laborer in many European coun-
tries.
Evening star., 1911-06-03
Apples.
BY a Physician.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Apples have been strongly recommended
in the treatment Of alcoholism, but 1t is
more than doubtful whether they ever
allayed any ones desire for drink except
in the form Of hard cider. When Solo
mon said "Comfort me with apples" he
was not seeking relief from dipsomania.
The apple. however, is probably the most
digestible and health-giving fruit known
to man. Mealy apples are exceedingly
digestible and well borne In the stomach
while thoroughly ripe acid apples act as
a sort of tonic to digestion. At least, SO
says competent stomach specialist. Also
no other fruit has a flavor so generally
acceptable as has the one which tempted
Father Adam. and palatability counts for
more in the process of nutrition than is
commonly imagined.
The laxative property Of apples has long
been appreciated, but some writer's at
tribute this valuable feature to the acids
contained in the fruit. when In reality It
is attributable to the fibrous element
Apples are rich in fibrous structure
called cellulose, and 1t is this rough
ness" which stimulates the inner coat Of
the intestines. In accord with this rea-
soning Is the fact that apples eaten aln-
peeled are more laxative than II eaten
minus the cellular peelng. Apples should
never be peeled If they are to be eaten
raw. but should be effectually washed
instead.
Furthermore. the tissue OF the apple
has a peculiar food value. 1t is said to
contain q higher percentage of phosphor-
Gus than does any other fruit. II this
PHOSPHORUS is assimilable. then apples
should be especially good for brain work
ers and victims Of nervous exhaustion
since phosphorous is SO important con-
stituent of brain and nerve cells.
Many persons eat an apple Just before
retiring at night. This is an excellent
practice, and is conducive to sleep The
sedative effect. however. is probab bly, due
entirely to the fact that any food taken
into the stomach at night draws blood
to the abdomen and away from the brain,
and 1t is not likely that the fruit OF the
forbidden tree contains any specific
hypnotic principle peculiar to itself.

The Poet Protests.
,om the Chicago Record Herald.

FROM Inc chicago RECORD Herald.
There is something" said the irate
poet. as he entered the room in which
the critic was busy blasting hopes, that
1 should like to have you explain. if you
can spare the time"
1T will give me pleasure" replied the
critic, permitting drop Of vitriol to fall
from his pen to the floor and thus be
wasted. ito explain anything to you.
Aside from my ability as a critic l hold
that l am an excellent explainer'
Bah! / repeat. bah! You may as we'll
understand that your fiippancy is lost on
notice. What l wish to ask you is
whether you have ever written book of
any kind
Il have not. and say this with all the
earnestness at my command"
you presume to sit here in judgment of
other peoples books, condemning or
praising them. as you happen to choose.
You have never written a play, have
you?"
NO. never a play. In this respect l
may say that I am a man in a million;
but we will let that pass. AS I said be-
fore. 1 have never written play"
You do not hesitate. however. to criti-
supreme authority on plays. Have you
ever written a single poem?'
"Never--at least have never written a
poem that would be acknowledged as
such by anybody but my mother. Once
when l was very young I think I scrib-
bled a stanza that mother thought was
poetic. but nothing came OF it,"
Now we shall get at the crux Of this
thing. You have never written a book,
you have never written a poem, yet you
have the supreme audac.ty to set your
self up as a judge Of such things. You
have called my poems pifle-yes. l hurl
the word back in your teeth-piff1e, VIII
you kindly tell me. sir. how you can pre-
sumo to know that a book is good or bad
II you can't write books yourself? How
do you know that a play or poem is
sublime or ridiculous II you have never
written a play or poem?'
For moment the critic considered the
matter. Then he innocently asked:
Have you ever made day?'
Ever made a day? OF course 1 have
never made a day
But you claim to be able to decide
whether day is a fine day or other
wise. do you not?"
Then the poet went away. convinced d
that 1t was a waste Of time to argue with
fool"
