| evening, at which much routine work
! was done.
Reports from a number of states Of
! delegates appointed by the several
governors gives total of delegates
approximating 800, and they include
some of the best men and women in
each state.
A letter received this week from J.
Silas Harris, president of the Con-
gress, states that among those who
have accepted places on the program
are:
Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, of New
York, editor of the A. NJ. E. Review,
one of the most distinguished orators
in America.
DR.. A. Henry Attaway, president of
Edward Waters College, Jacksonville,
Fla, an educator and orator of ma

arranged is to have each of the

ton and program on Monday evening,
July 18th, numbers on the program to
be supplied by delegates or distin-
guished visitors. BEL.
On Tuesday evening, July 10th, the

foreign and local, will be presented

Wednesday evening, July 18th, a
grand boat excursion on the MISSISSIPPI

visitors.
Thursday evening the delegates and
visitors will be entertained in Mime

must pass such luxuries on. But from

their absence, as only the pickers have
reaped the harvest. 1t really seems that
the tide of prosperity is going to labor

one, but none of the growers seem to be
any better off financially.
Now the luscious cherry is with us, and

greatest benehciaries from this fruit
The blackberries are rapidly advancing
and some of them are about ready to pick.
The rain of last Sunday evening has
put hustle on the farmers who grow
tomatoes, and setting plants is in order,
and everybody is doing it now with
big turkey trot" on. One of the neigh
bors is so busy that he cannot find time
to fix his pump which has failed and the
good wife has a hard time bringing wa

animals and poultry must go abroad for
water and drink from a muddy puddle.

Leopold de Meyer Of Dresden, bril-
liant and popular pianist Of his day,
was once summoned to play before the
sultan Of Constantinople. Going thith-
er, he borrowed a grand piano from
one of the Austrian secretaries of lega-
ton and had it set up in large recep-
ton room at the palace. There he
awaited the coming OF the sultan. but
when that intelligent monarch entered
the room he started back In alarm and
demanded OF his attendants what that
monster was standing there on three
legs. Explanations followed, but were
in vain The legs had to be taken of
and the body Of the instrument laid
fat on the floor, and Leopold de Meyer,
squatting cross legged on a mat, went
through his program as best be could
in that awkward attitude and without
pedals But the commander OF the
faithful was delighted, and when the
last piece was played gave the artist
over 5000 as backsheesh.

They Live on Two Simple Meals of
Bread and Dates Day.
The daily routine of the Arab is sim
pie and well ordered. He is up with
the daybreak and as soon as possible
loads his camels; then he rides for
some four or five hours before he has
his first morning meal; then he is Off
again until late in the afternoon, when
a halt is made for the night. Supper
usually consists of warm bread, with
an onion or dates as a relish. Bread
is prepared in as simple manner as
possible. While the coarse -four and
water are being kneaded into dough
large fire IS made. which provides q
good heap of hot ashes. On part of
these the flattened dough is laid. then
covered with the remainder Of the
ashes.
In about fifteen minutes the dough
is sufficiently baked 1t is then well
beaten to free it from ashes, broken In
pieces and divided among those who

Dates often take the place of bread
In Arabia. There are many varieties,
and the composition OF the date does
not differ so very much from that of
bread. Fat is lacking in both, but
this is supplied by the butter churned
in skin bags suspended from a tripod
and shaken or rolled on the ground
