A Black Hand Trust?
Deputy Police Commissioner Woods, of
New York, In the May McClure's.
The Black Hand Is not a cohesive,
comprehensive society, working with
mysterious signs and passwords. Given
a number of Italians with money, and
two or three ex-convicts, you have all
the elements necessary for a first rate
Black Hand campaign. In New York
city, however, there are so many groups
■.of these Black Handers that they have
cfirna to more or less cleae contact with
escl} fsTasttfelttW SSl-rns to
show that the leaders, at any rate, of
'the different groups are acquainted,
and that they work their scheme^ In
harmony, especially when their extor
tion takes the form of commercial
swindling. In other words, the situa
tion seems ripe for the creation in the
city of one fairly powerful organized
society. A little police laxity, coupled
with the appearance of a leader of mag
netism and force, would very likely
bring about the formation of a Black
Hand trust.

The Forgiving Wife.
From the New York American.
X know a woman who haa Just coma
home from a ion* visit to Europe.
She didn’t go on the vlait for pleas
ure; her young daughter was 111 and
she took her daughter abroad to save
her life.
When my friend came home from
abroad she noticed something peculiar
about the way her friends greeted her.
They seemed to be sorry for her some
way. though none of them said any
thing In so many words.
One day my friend found out what
it was that made them sorry.
Her husband had had a foolish little
affair with a foolish little woman and
there had been a little scandal about
It.
My friend loves her husband and he
loves her. So she went to him and
Bald: "Dear, you are worried; you
ure in trouble; you think I’m going to
find something out and be angry with
you.
“I have found it out and I am not
angry with you. I am sorry for you.
I want you to know that I am not only
your wife, I am the best friend, the
most loyal, the most unselfish ajid the
truest friend you have In the world. I
will stand by you through this thing.
I know that you have not been really
faithless to me; you have Just been
foolish; you are heartsick over the
whole thing now; so am I. Come, let’s
be heartsick together.”
And the husband of my friend looked
at her as If he heard some one speak
ing from an open grave, and he told
his wife the whole truth, the foolish,
silly, miserable truth, and she talked
It all over with him and comforted, him
and encouraged him and laughed at
him and teased him, and together they
faced the whole thing through—and
now you couldn’t lure that man away
from his wife with any siren who ever
sang, or any Salome who ever dreamed
a dream of dancing.

The industrious Negroes of Africa.
From Leslie's Weekly.
The blacks of tropical Africa arc
proving their willingness to work hard
for the whites along tho lines of tho
new civilization which has been Intro
duced la the Dark continent. The ne
gro planters of German East Africa are
raising more products for export than
the white planters. In 1903 the native
planters of Southern Nigeria shipped to
Europe and South America 800 bales
of cotton; In 1906 their cotton exports
rose to 6,000 bales and if the season
of 1909 fulfills Its promise the export
crop will be well-nigh 60,000 bales. The
native coffee sent to Europe and Amer

SWEETS FOR AFTERNOON TEA
Russian Shortcake and Cassava Wafers
From the West Indies.
From the New York Times.
A young woman who lias been to
Russia has Introduced on her tea table
a little cake that Is popular among her
friends.
A rich puff paste Is divided Into four
parts, each rolled as thin as possible.
On one sheet Is put an almond paste,
on another pounded peanuts or
plstache nuts, on a trlrd currant jelly
or orange marmalade. The layers are
placed on each other, honey or maple
syrup Is poured over, and the whole
baked In a moderate oven until a deli
cate brown.
When cold the crust Is cut In squares
or diamonds and passed on a plate cov
ered with a lace dolly.
Another delicacy for afternoon tea Is
the crisp cassava wafer used so much
in West Indian households. This Is
served cold, but is better if buttered,
and made very hot In the oven.
Rich little crullers or doughnuts,
made not more than two Inches long
and dusted thickly with powdered
sugar, are a pleasant change from the
usual small cake passed with after
noon tea.
A nice and Inexpensive sandwich fill
ing Is cold chicken or lamb, put
through a chopper, highly seasoned
with salt and pepper and mixed to a
smooth paste with rich cream. This
Is not so rich as mayonnaise, which is
usually employed In sandwiches.
Bars of brown bread slightly toasted,
buttered and covered with sardine
paste made by shredding sardines and
mixing with lemon juice are a nice
change from sandwiches.
The Interior of the Earth.
From the New York World.
The University of Jena has just
awarded the prize for the best essay on
the condition of the Interior of the
earth. M. Thlene, who won the Univer
sity of Jena's prize, did It with the
following theory:
The mean density of the earth Is
known to be more than five times that
of water. As the outer layers of the
crust have a very feeble density—wa
ter, r; rocks, an average of 2%—It fol
lows that the Interior must have a den
sity of about 77-10, which la that of
iron. Again, there Is enough accurate
information about the rigidity of the
earth to make It fairly certain that this
Is slightly greater than steel. M. Thlene
calculates that the crust of the earth
Is about 930 miles thick, though most of
the best authorities are Inclined to place
it at about 30 miles. If h!s figures be
correct, there must be Inside the crust
an exceedingly dense and rigid core,
which he calls barysphere.

way that soon puts
these organs in a
healthy condition
and corrects consti

is responsible for most ailments. There
• are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged, the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, in
digestion and impure blood, which often
produces rheumastism and kidney ail

stipation or any liver complaint can ex
pect to have a clear complexion, or enjoy
good health.
Munyon’s Paw-Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weakening; they
enrich the blood instead of impoverish
ing it; they enable the stomach to get
all the nourishment from food that ia

These pills contain no calomel, no dope,
they are soothing, healing and stimu

DOLLAR WHEAT HAS COME TO
STAY.
la !«• Than Kite Year* ('eatral
Canada Will Be Called Ur tin to
Supply |kt United State*.
A couple of years ago, when the an
nouncement was made In these col
umns that “dollar wheat'' had come to
stay, and that the time was not far
distant when the central provinces of
Canada—Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta—would be called upon to sup
ply a large part of the wheat consump
tion In the United States, there were
many who laughed at the predictions
and ridiculed the Idea of wheat reach
ing the dollar point and staying there.
Both of these predictions have come to
pass. Dollar wheat Is here—and It is
not only here, but Is here to stay; and
at the same time, whatever unpleasant
sensations It may arouse In the super
sensitive American. Central Canada is
already being called upon to help keep
up our bread supply, and within the
next five years will, as James J. Hill
says, literally "become the bread-bas
ket of our Increasing millions.”
There are few men lp the United
States better acquainted with the
wheat situation than Mr. Hill, and
there are few men, If any, who are In
clined to be more conservative'In their
expressed views. Yet It was this great
est of the world’s railroad men who
said a few days ago that “the price of
wheat will never be substantially lower
than It Is to-day”—and when It Is
taken into consideration that at that
time wheat had soared to $1.20, well
above the dollar mark, the statement Is
peculiarly significant, and doubly sig
nificant Is the fact that In this coun
try the population Is Increasing at the
ratio of 06 per cent, while the yield of
wheat and other products Is Increasing
at the rate of only 26 iter cent. For
several years past the cost of living
has been steadily Increasing In the
United States, and this wide difference
In production and consumption Is the
reason.
This difference must be supplied by
the vast and fertile grain regions of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
There Is now absolutely no doubt of
this. Even the press of the country
concedes the fact. Results have shown
that no other country In the world can
ever hope to equal these provinces as
wheat producers, and that no other
country can produce as hard or as good
wheat. Said a great grain man re
cently. "If United States wheat main
tains the dollar mark, Canada wheat
will be well above a dollar a bushel,
for In every way it Is superior to our
home-grown grain.”
With these facts steadily impinging
their truth upon our rapidly growing
population, It Is Interesting to note just
what possibilities as a "wheat grow
er” our northern neighbor possesses.
While the United States will never
surrender her prestige in any manu
facturing or commercial line, she must
very soon acknowledge, and with as
much grace as she can. that she Is
bound to be beaten as a grain produc
er. It must be conceded that a great
deal of the actual truth about the rich
ness of Canada's grain producing areas
has been “kept out of sight,", as Mr.
Hill says, by the strenuous efforts of
our newspapers and magazines to stem
the exodus of our best American farm
ers Into those regions. It Is a fact
that up to the present time, although
Canada has already achieved the front
rank In the world’s grain producers,
the fertile prairies of Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta have as yet
scarcely been scratched. Millions of
acres, free for the taking, still await
our American farmers; and when these
millions are gone there are other mil
lions In regions not yet opened up to
Immigration. A few years ago the
writer, who had been through those
wheat provinces several times, laughed
with others of our people at the broad
statement that Canada was bound to
Income “John Bull’s bread-basket.”
Now. after a last trip (and though he
Is a staunch American) he frankly be
lieves that not, only will Canada be
come John Bull’s bread-basket, but it
will within the next decade at least
BECOME THE BREAD-BASKET OF
THE UNITED STATES. Perhaps this
may be a hard truth for Americans to
swallow, but It is a truth nevertheless.
And It Is at least a partial compensa
tion to know that hundreds of thou
sands of our farmers are profiting by
the fact by becoming producers in this
new country.
The papers of this country have nat
urally made the most of the brief pe
riod of depression which swept over
Canada, but now there is not a sign of
it left from Winnipeg to the coast.
Never have the three great wheat rais
ing provinces been more prosperous.
Capital Is coming into the country from
all quarters, taking the form of cash
for Investment, Industrial concerns
seeking locations, and, best of all, sub
stantial and sturdy immigrants come
to help populate the prairies. Towns
arc booming; scores of new elevators
are springing up; railroads are sending
out their branch lines In all directions,
thousands of prosperous Tanners are
leaving their prairie shelters for new
and modern homes—“built by wheat”;
everywhere Is a growing happiness and
conteutment—happiness and content
ment built by wheat—the “dollar
wheat,” which has come to stay. Not
withstanding this, the Canadian gov
| ernment Is still giving away Its home
' steads and selling pre-emptions at $3.00
an acre, and the railway and land eom
] panics are disposing of their lands at
what may be considered nominal fig
ures.
