HOW PHAR0AH WAS DROWNED
coIored Minister Insisted Egyptians Broke Through Ice After Children
 of Israel Had Crossed.

There is story of an old colored minister, which I am fond of telling, that illustrates what I mean. The old fellow was trying to explain to Sun day school class how it was and why it was that Pharoah and his party were drowned when they were trying to cross the Red sea, and how it was and why it was that the Children of Israel crossed over dry shod The old minister explained it in this wise:
 When the first party came along it was early in the morning and the ice was hard and thick, and the first party had no trouble crossing over on the ice. but when Pharoah and his party came along it was 12 o'clock in the day and the sun was shining hot on the ice, and when they got on the ice it broke, and they went in and were drowned"
 Now, there happened to be in this class a young colored man who had had considerable schooling, and this young fellow turned to the old minis tetr and said:
 Now. MT. Minister, I do not under stand that kind of explanation. have been going to school and have been studying all these conditions, and my geography teaches me that ice does not freeze within a certain distance of the equator"
 The old minister replied: Now, Tse been expecting something just like this. There's always some fellow ready to spile all the theology. The time Fse talkin' about was before they had biographies or 'quators either"
 Now, this old man, in his plain and simple way was trying to brush aside all artificiality and to get down to bed rock. So it was with me.-Booker T. in Worlds Work Magar zine.

Record Rental for . store.

A new high record value in store leases in this city was established when F. M. Andrews of the Greeley Square Hotel company announced that the ground store on the Thirty fourth street corner of the new hotel, which is to occupy the entire easterly side of Broadway between Thirty third and Thirty-fourth streets, had been leased from the plans to a drug company of Boston for 21 years at $110,O00 a year. says the New York Times. It Is virtually double the price that has been asked for high-class ground-foor stores in the choicest re- tail districts of Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue. The store will con tain about $500 square feet, SO that the renting value averages about $20 a square foot.

Trade Schools for Girls Urued.

In an address on 'The Social Prob lem of the Education of the Women and Girl Wage-Earners, before the Chicago Association of Collegiate Alumni, Prof. George Herbert Mead of the department of philosophy, Univer- sity of Chicago. suggested the estab- lishment of trade schools for girls as a means of training and preparing them for their future life struggles.
 Professor Mead stated that this course would be the only means of guarding against the probability of many girl going wrong. because she had not been informed through her work of her relationship to society. He declared the establishment of trade schools would make for better and more intelligent generation of women

MEAN TRICK ON OPPONENT
How a Western Lawyer Won a Case by Making the Court Think It
 Had Been lnsuIted.

Joseph H. Choate, at dinner at the Lawyers club in New York, said of a piece of legal chicanery:
 Tt was mean; too mean. It remind ed me of a sneak of a lawyer in prac- tice in the far west This chap was defending a man in a promissory note case, and he knew he was going to lose. But in the lunch hour, in his tricky way he changed the markers in all the prosecuting counsePs refer ence books. The judge. after consult ing all these reference books two hours later, pronounced, sternly:
 ''I should certainly have decreed for the plaintiff. but, on referring to the citations quoted by plaintiffs coun- sel, find that they none of them bear even remotely on the case before us, and I decline to think that gross insult has been perpetrated on this court. Counsel, with idiotic levity, has referred me to the action of a Frenchman who sued geological so- ciety for having been bitten by bear. The second reference is to a case of islander. Next, I am directed to an infanticide, forged will and safe robbing. What have these things to do with an action to recover on note? But, perhaps, the most shameless insult to this court lies in counsers final reference to the Lippman vs. Henshaw case the silliest and most ribald breach of promise suit in all the annals of western jurisprudence.

Rarbarle press of rodax

Perhaps the barbaric splendor with which we dress today asserts itself most in the belt where large cameos and coral are introduced. Indeed coral Is very much to the fore just now in the way of ornaments. It is a color. too. which goes wefl with black.
 Iridescent materials have found their way even to tailor-made gowns. and the multi-colored embroideries which savor of the moyen age are very frequently introduced, so that they accord in tint and in style with the ornaments worn. These barbaric belts are rivals to the bavarian, some times called venetian. belts, formed of panne velvet, with deep points in front and plenty of boning.
