in a railway station and watched the

Of the fortyseyen people. four were

Every person using the bubbIing
drinking fountain should hear in mind
that the object OF this sanitary de-
vice is to prevent the interchange OF
mouth secretions. When mucous and
other matter becomes attached to
metal It sometimes requires consfd-
cradle force to remove It, and this is
not always accomplishing by slowly
moving current of water. In using
the bubbling fountain the rule shouId
be bite the bubble" The lips should
not touch any part OF the fountain
and under no condition should the
fountain be used for rfnsfng the

Music and Race Prejudice.

The concerts and recitals of the

which have usually brought together
almost as many white people as black,
have served as channel of communi-
cation between the white race and
the black race. Thousands of white
people have, by means of these con-
certs, come to recognize, as they never
have before, that the Negro race has
capacities and talents which need onlv
proper development and direction TO
enable that race to take it's rightfu1
position in the family of races. Mr..
David Bispham, the famous American
baritone, in concert which he gave
year or two ago at the Harvard
Club to an audience of several hun
dred college men, said, when he
reached the last number on his pro-
gram, Il have been singing this after
noon the songs of many foreign COM
posers. | shall close with two songs
OF an American composer. regret
to say that did not discover this
composer myself, but learned of him
only~through the writings of German
musicians. He is not as we'll known
in his own country as he should be-
l suppose the reason for this is that
he is a Negro, but I want to saw to
you gentlemen that there is no color
line in art. When find a COMPOST
ton of merit it makes no difference
to me whether it be written by a
white man or black man or a red
man." He then proceeded to sing

the immense enjoyment of his au-
dience. 1t cannot be doubted that
through music, the universal language
there is bound to come in time a .
better understanding between the two
races.
