CURING THE BEST CAVIAR

The finest caviar is the bieluga pre-
pared from the roe of the white stur-
geon; little less fine is the sevriuga,
prepared from the sterliated sturgeon.
Both are put up at Astrakhan, Rus
STA. According to United States Con-
sui John H. Grout, stationed at Odes-
sa, the roe Is rubbed through a sieve
with care not to break the grain. 1t
falls into brine, where it remains for
three or four hours, after which 1t is
packed in sacks and allowed to drain
This is the only preparation given to
the best caviar The cheaper varie-
ties are more strongly sailed. Caviar
is digested with ease and is one of
the finest forms of nourishment, espe-
cially for the sick.

Return of Colored People to Dark
Continent Is impossible Owing to
Material Progress Made by
Them, Ii Is Announced.

Kansas City, Mo.-Disfranchise the
negro and send him back to Africa?
Absurd Impossible. More than a
billion dollars worth Of United States
real estate which he owns in his own
name in the United States is not east
ly to be taken from him. Besides, the
negro Is not an African-he is an
American. African" is a misnomer.
Why try to send him to country
which is not his own?
So says DR.. ]. R. Hawkins of North
Carolina, secretary and commissioner
of education for the African Methodist
Episcopal church. a delegate to the
general conference. at the Allen
chapel. Dr.. Hawkins has made a
study of the business status Of his
race in connection with his regular
work as one of their foremost educa-
tors.
ct probably will startle the world
when it realizes that we have acquir-
ed In the last so years over $1,000, O0O,-
600 in real estate" DR.. Hawkins said.
And that Is only the beginning OF
the rapid forward march which the
negro is making as a business man.
The negro could not help being bust
ness man. He was surrounded with
it in the years Of his slavery. He was
taught how to drive a bargain In
horses or real estate. even If his mas
ter didn't teach him how to read and

ROCK is THE HOME OF BATS

Phillips rock, situated near Valley
Springs, Llano county, Texas, Is
limestone formation and rises abrupt
ly out of a level plain to a height of
about 80 feet. 1t covers an area of
several acres. The serried sides show
the effects of centuries Of exposure to
the elements. The projecting layers
of the stone afford means of climb
ing to the top Of the elevation. The
top is a level surface and it is a favo-
rite resort for picnic parties. It's
sides are penetrated by wide caverns
which are the homes of countless
bats.

Legends of the Hawthorn.

For the first time in many years
the hawthorn is in full blossom this
first of May. The white hawthorn
and the white chestnut are, according
TO our later reckoning, before their
time, though some of US remember,
or fancy we remember, May days OF
our youth that never lacked the
blossom. The blackthorn supersti-
ton has, in some country places,
been transferred to the hawthorn,
so that to have a branch in the house
is accounted unlucky, and by no
must it be burned. This no
tion must have originated with the
Glastonbury thorn, which, legend
says, was brought from Palestine and
planted by Joseph of Armathea, and
m~iraculously flowered at Christmas.
But the Glastonbury thorn is not
hawthorn; it is the Cartaegus pre-
cox, and there is nothing miraculous
about it's early blossoming. Science,
happily, can not kill beautiful leg
ends.-London Chronicle.

CALLED MEETING
OF CIVIC LEAGUE
Oiling Streets, Early Closing, De-
s.ruction of Trees and Other Civic
Matters We're Discussed.

A busy session of he Civic League
was held Tuesday afternoon at the
parlors OF the Elks club. 1t was a
called meeting and was devoted to
the discussion of a number of i'm
portant matters.
A communication from the pub
fishers of Hollands Magazine, in re-
ply to one written by The secretary
of the league with reference to the
prizes offered by the magazine for
the "%cleanest city" was read. 1t APP
peared from the communication that
Brownsville, having a population Of
more than 10000, could not compete
for the prize.
The meeting then took up the
question of oiling the streets. 1t
was decided in the present condition
of the streets it would be almos use
less 20 do anything in that direction,
but the hope was expressed that the
city would take some action in this
direc. ion as soon as possible. A let
ter from the city council in reply to
one written by the league, ASKING if
the city wou-.d cooperate by arrang-
ing to have the streets dragged and
made ready for oiling in July or
early in August was then read. The
letter from the league follows:
Street and Bridge Committee,
City Council, Brownsville.
Dear Sirs:
At the last meeting of the Civic
League it was decided to have an
other treatment of streets by the
Magnolia Petroleum company some
time in July or early in August. AS
the success of this treatment will
depend on the cooperation of the
city council with the league it is
scarcely necessary to call attention
to the awful condition of the stree s
particularly In the downtown dis
trict, outside of that paved. This
condition could be remedied at small
cost to the city and it is the desire
of the league that such Improvement
be accomplished before this final
treatment with oil. The accompany
ing pamphlet may be Of some use.
Thanking you for past favors to
the league, | am,
Yours truly,
Annie r. Kelly,
To this the council replied by the
city clerk as follows,
! Miss Anna r. Kelly, Pres. Civic
League, Brownsville, Tex.

desire of the league that the city
should cooperate in the improvement
OF the streets, for the proposed OIL
ing in July or early in August. was
-1au before he council in session yes
terday.
have been instructed to write you
and inform the Brownsville Civic
League that the city council is in
sympathy with your efforts to bring
about the improvement OF the 8 reefs
and that this question will be
brought up later.
Thanking you for your courtesy
in this matter, | am,
Respectfully.
Crlsanto Villareal
City Clerk.
While the condition Of the streets
was under discussion, two members
of the league declared they had per-
sonally worked yesterday filling up
holes in the thoroughfares in their
neighborhood.
The league then took up the ques-
ton Of the destruction OF trees in
the proposed new paving district.
The members expressed regret for
the destruction that had already
been done in that particular. and de-
olared their willingness to do all
that may be done-to ave the trees.
Miss Kelly suggested that the
league should urge the merchants
o to allow the dirt and rubbish
from their stores to be swept or
thrown into the streets.
1t was further suggested that an
ordinance should be passed by the
council to forbid expectorating on
the sidewalks, and to forbid the
throwing of fruit Feelings on the
walks. and that signs should be
placed in conspiciaus places warning
passers on the streets or the penal
ties for violating this ordinance. 1t
was suggested that fines for these Of
lenses might pay for future signs.
The subject of early closing of
sores vas also considered at this
meeting. Two firms in the city had
SO far refused to agree to the early
closing program, but it was believed
that they had decided differently
since last seen. The ladies were
unanimously in favor of early clos
ing.
The street and alley commit ee
were authorized to procure twenty
barrels suitable for garbage recep-
tacles. The barrels were to be paint
ed green and distributed for use.
1t was decided to notify the Mag
nolia Oil company at once that the
league will be ready to use oil on the
strets by the end of the period of six
