GRADUATES sHuN MINISTRY.

A remarkable decrease in the num-
ber OF Protestant ministers gradu-
ated from the universities of the coun-
try is shown in a current report of
the United States bureau of educa-
ton.
1T is plain" says the report. that
educated men no longer seek the cloth
as they did when the nation was
younger. 1t may mean much or little
that the percentage of ministers
among the graduates of typical col
leges has declined from proportion
of 60 to 20 per cent. to less than 10
per cent.
An examination of the figures col
lected at the close of the nineteenth
century from 81 representative col
leges discloses the fact that the min
istry takes between five and six per
cent of the university graduates,
which marks the lowest point for that
profession during the two and one
half centuries of American college his
tory.
Between the years 1896 and 1900
only S65 divinity students we're gradu.
ated from 81 representative colleges
and universities, or So per cent. of the
total number graduated. which was
over 14.47S.

To OslerIze Roosters.

Harry NJ. Lamon, in charge of the
poultry division of the bureau of ami
NAL industry OF the department of ag-
riculture, recommends the Osleriza-
ton of all roosters after the spring
hatch. He thinks that If his advice
is followed, the cost of eggs and con-
sequently the high cost of living. will
be considerably reduced
Mr. Lamon has found. after many
experiments. that infertile eggs are
best for food. and will keep longer
than fertile ones. By confining. killing
or selling all male birds after the
breeding season. Mr.. Lamon says the
farmers of this country will prevent
an annual loss of SIS. 100000 in eggs.
The statement made by Mr Lamon
is cheering news to the poultry keep
ers of Washington, whose roosters are
under ban of the health office.

WON'T PAY WARDEN So.

The Atlanta prison COW. whose in
discretions caused a two hours debate
in congress several months ago. and
changed the wording of a s450,000 ap-
preparation bill, stirred Comptroller
of the Treasury Tracewell the other
day to write long legal opinion as to
her conduct.
The COW wandered out of her pas
ture and ate up all the neighboring
farmers turnips. She was impound.
ed and Warden Meyer paid two dol
lars out of his own pocket to get her
free. He could not collect from the
government because the auditors here
disallowed the clsim.
Congress failed T. remedy the situa-
ton, so that Meyer could get his mon
ey back, and the comptroller the
other day added another chapter by
handing down a decision that the ex-
penditure was an illegal one that the
government could not repay. The
warden will make another appeal to
congress for his two dollars.

DOES AWAY WITH DRUDGERY
Dish-DryIne Racks, Home Made, will
Tighten Labor Always consld-
cred Disaereeable.

In the removal, washing. and replac-
ing of dishes there is room for much
improvement. This duty is usually
disliked. but under proper manage
ment it should not be distasteful. First.
there is the use of the service truck.
This is a small table OF two or three
shelves, mounted on rather large
wheels, used to transport dishes be-
tween the table and the serving pan
try. There are several dishwashing
machines, but for the average house
hold they are not required. However.
every household can use, and should
adopt, drying racks. These may be
easily made. If made of metal and
glass, with shelves of round wooden
rods, lamps placed near the bottom
will give sufficient heat to dry dishes
quite rapidly. The drying rack should
be placed near the washer. SO that as
the dishes are washed they may be
placed within. The washing and dry
ing process may be accurately timed.
and fair standard determined.

NEW RULING IN NAVY.

All young officers in the navy will
hereafter serve at least one year on
gunboat duty according to a new plan
of detailing announced at the navy
department
The navy department regards gun
boat duty as highly important, be-
cause the gunboat officers are thrown
on their own resources to larger ex-
tent than on the battleships and more
quickly learn self-reliance and conf
dence in their own abilities.
In the future the period of duty for
all gunboat officers. except the com
mander, will be one year. At the end
of this period they will be ordered to
the battleships and armored cruisers
With this new system a greater num-
Der of officers will have the advan-
tage OF gunboat training than is now
the case. The officers will have, while
on gunboat duty, larger individual re-
sponsibilities and range duties. 1t
is expected the new plan of one year
details will make gunboat duty more
popular, as such assignments will not
hereafter mean long separation from
the fleet
A number OF ensigns of the class
of 1911 are now being detailed to the
gunboats. This gives them a distinct
advantage over their classmates not
SO detailed, as these ensigns imme-
diately become watch and division Of
ficers with quarters in the wardroom
For this reason, only those who have
proved special efficiency at sea in the
last year are being chosen. At the end
of the year they will return to the
battleships.
1t is expected that the same policy
somewat modified, will also be applied
to the uestroyers. In this serv-
ice. however, young officers will be
allowed to remain two years If they
choose.

FOR THE AFTERNOON TEA
New Sandwich Idea That Carries With
II Distinct Sense Of the
Appetlzlng.

America has the best oysters and
salads Of any country in the world,
Mrs, Lily Haxworth Wallace, the Eng
lish cooking expert, told the women at
a pure food show cooking lesson at
New York.
The best way to cook an oyster"
said Mrs. Wallace, 'is not to cook 1t
at all. There is an English saying,
The more you do to an oyster the
more it will do to you That means
that the more you cook 1t the less
nourishment you get"
But she gave them recipes to cook
the best oyster in the world, the
American oyster. II they were not
content to eat 1t raw. The American
salad is the best In the world, Mrs.
Wallace says, because America has
the greatest variety of fruits. vege-
tables, and other products of the gar
den and field. She gave the women
a recipe for a new sandwich that a
number of them said they we're going
to try Immediately for afternoon tea.
Two ounces of almonds are salted
and ground for the egg and almond
sandwich and passed through the
meat chopper. Two finely minced hard
boiled eggs. blended with two table
spoonfuls of butter, are added, and the
whole is seasoned and spread between
thin slices of bread.

The negro soldier has demonstrated
his ability to serve with less loss of
time from active duty by reason of
sickness than the white enlistment
According to the annual report of Sur
geon General George H. Torney, made
public today, the non-effective rate of
the colored soldier was 25.SS, while
that of the white soldier was 1850; the
Porto Rican. 29.7S, and the Filipino
1886.
The report likewise shows that the
white troops required the highest av-
erage number of days treatment for
each case OF disability. The Porto
Rican had the highest rate for admis
sions to hospitals and for deaths and
the colored troops the highest rate for
discharge.

At the recent meeting of the Negro
Business League the most striking
story of financial success was that Of
Watt Terry. a young negro, who in
1900 went from Virginia to Brockton,
Mass, with a capital of Is cents. He
worked as coachman. janitor porter
and shoemaker, and finally became a
real estate broker. In the last named
occupation his success has been so
great that at the present time he re-
ports that his income ranges from
sc, 900 to $1,000 a a month.

AFRO-AMER|CAN 'CULL|NCS

Have you man to take care of
our farm?"
I'VE wish a young woman to teach
domestic science in our city school?"
I'VE need skilled mechanics to teach
carpentry, wheelwrighting, and black
smithing?"
Negro nurses, men and women, are
in great demand here in our town"
There are some of the many calls
that assail the principal of Tuskegee
institute at all seasons of the year.
1t is reasonably so. The change of
the trend of education among both
white and black; the increase of
wealth and courage to venture into
business among negroes: the higher
and higher esteem into which the
skilled negro workmen are rising
all make this call louder and more
general.
At Tuskegee Institute some 80 odd
OF these industries are taught. There
are millinery, dressmaking. ladies'
tailoring, upholstering and mattress
making, domestic science, laundering
and gymnastics for girls; there are
ing, carpentry, cabinet making, tin
smithing, printing, harness making,
mechanical and architectural drawing.
mechanical, electrical and steam en-
gineering for boys; and there are
dairying, swine raising, truck farming,
poultry raising, stock raising, foricul-
ture, landscape gardening, veterinary
science, fruit growing and many other
branches of industry, both mechanical
and agricultural trades for both boys
and girls. This again is the modern
trend of things. Therefore let no one
halt at the idea of young women en-
tering the agricultural trades.
Moreover, experience and expert
ments at Tuskegee institute are
demonstrating that the young woman
is just as apt and able pupil with
the machinery in the creamery, with
the science of feeds in the poultry
yard, with packing and handling fruit
in the orchard as she is with gram
matical syntax in the class room, and
just as quick and aggressive as her
young man classmate, to whom time
and prejudice have hitherto restricted
these trades.

DR.. p A. Johnson, eX-president of
the National Medical association, and
who served three terms as chairman
of the executive committee, is of the
opinion that the south is destined to
be great field for efficient colored
doctors a-.d surgeons. This conclu-
sion was formed while he was at
tending the recent session of the Ma
tional Medical association at Tuske-
gee institute, Alabama, when he par
ticipated in the interesting clinics and
came in contact with the physicians
and surgeon of the south. whose eff
cheney was in the nature of a revela-
tion to him. DR.. Johnson became SO
deeply interested in one of the cases
during the session of the National
Medical association that he is treat
ing the patient by mail, although the
case is an aggravated one. The pa
tient is a sixteen-year-old gold who
lives about 80 miles from Tuskegee.
For ten months she has been under
the care of a doctor who was treating
her for pulmonary tuberculosis. An
examination by DR.. Johnson showed
that she had Bright's disease. Ema-
ciated and weighing only few
pounds, the sick girl has not been
able to sleep in bed for five months
for fear OF smothering to death. Since
she was given medical aid at Tuske
gee institute her condition is much
improved.
The need OF additional capable doc
tors in the south is further emphasized
by DR.. Johnson in relating a case in
which a male patient, fifty years old,
was being treated for indigestion
when an examination by doctors at
tending the session of the National
Medical association showed that he
was suffering with the enlargement of
the heart.
DR.. Johnson was shocked to find
that in many parts of the south no
record is kept of the death of a negro,
a condition he did not think existed
anywhere in the United States.

1t is commonly reported that the
number of mulattoes is decreasing,
and observation in the south tends to
confirm that view, but the census re-
turns show an increase for the coun-
try generally. Among mulattoes are
included all persons except full blood
negroes, who show any trace of negro
blood. In 1910 the census enumerated
9,S27,76 negroes of whom 2,050,6S6 or
209 per cent were reported as mulat-
toes. In 1890 there were counted 7,4SS,-
676 negroes of whom 1,132,060 or 15.2
per cent. were reported as mulattoes.
In 1870 there were counted 4,SS0,000
negroes of whom 5S4,049 or IL per
cent. were reported as mulattoes. This
showing of a steady increase would be
alarming but for the accompanying
suggestion that 1t does not necessarily
mean growing intermixture of
whites and negroes, and that 1t may
be accounted for by a growing inter
mixture of mulattoes and full-blood
negroes, and the marriages between
mulattoes is increasing, 1t may still
be true that fewer children are born
of pure white and black parents than
formerly. From the southern point of
view it is encouraging to find that the
comparison of states shows relatively
fewer mulattoes where the negro pop
ulation is densest. In New England,
The east north central. and in the Pa
cific states about one-third of the ne
groes are reported as mulattoes,
while general average of about twen-
ty per cent. is the estimate. 1t is
strange that the average writer on
this subject never reckons with the
TACT that marriages between mulat-
Toes increases the number of mulat-
toes.--Macon Telegraph.
