Tine words butter no parsnips," -b old saying; but one may ques tion whether it is as true as it is old. - A wen-modulated Toice, speaking the king's English with ease and accuracy, - is a possession which lends a grace to the most humble. Ever since the tribute of poor, distracted Lear to his dead Cordelia, the voice "soft, gentle and low" has been esteemed "an excel lent thing in woman," and to-day there 'is especial timeliness in a plea for the refined voice, not only in wo Men of gentle breeding, but in thoso who, far and wide in this great land. behind counter and in kitchen and on the street, shriek and yell at a helpless, suffering public. There is often, if not always, some sort of an examination by which it is sought to test the fitness of girls who wish to be clerks or waitresses; but no one ever thinks to ask one question which ought to be asked: "Is it pleasant to hear you speak?" A certain girl who sells stockings in a big city store sets forth their merits in a voice so pleas ing that her Customers are sure to buy more than they need. But only a few steps from her counter, the ticket seller at a subway station keeps cry ing, "One dollar!" "Twenty-five cents!" "Fifty cents!" in a voice so nasal, harsh and penetrating that it offends every sensitive ear and af fronts every patron of gentle spirit For any public servant whether man or woman a gentle voice and a gra-, clous manner are worth advancement, declares the Youth's Companion. The tone and air which give unconscious pleasure are all too rare among hur rying Americans; but where they do exist they are a precious possession. A waitress in a railroad restaurant, being praised for her kindly attentive ness and refinement, replied, "I al ways think that there is one thing I can do like the finest lady in the land. I can speak like her!" BIG KANGAROO AT. LARGS. LSifOfS TTOM llMtlr WMI mor Sauntering; t i Peunsburg, PaJ--Tales of a kangaroo that is said to be Teaming the wooded hills in the vicinity of Pleasant Run, a few utiles west of here, have occa sioned' intense excitement Several persons, among them Erwin Styer and Martin Stengel, have seen the strange animal within the past week, and while it is so fleet that no one has been able to obtain a good, view of it, the descrip tions substantiate the theory thai it is a kangaroo. It is described as being of gray color, with a head shaped like that of a sheep and a body of large proportions. Upon the approach of a human being it darts away at. tremen dous speed. . Dogs have attacked it, but. were al ways worsted. They were not bitten, but apparently the animal flung them off with terrific force, in the manner that a kangaroo defends itself with Its hind legs and tail. People living in the neighborhood are afraid to venture away from home after nightfall, and there is little dis position to linger at the village store or tavern In the evening. Young men and women feel that the customary outdoor rural amusements are no long er safe. "It ain't that I'm afraid of any wild beast that ever roamed the jungles of Montgomery county," said one young swain, "but I certainly do object to the disgrace of being knocked out by the hind legs or the tall of a kangaroo. So I guess we fellows won't do much sitting up with the girls for some time to come." Niagara Falls ij- jpj Marriage and Society. The fundamental character of a so ciological point of view is that it looks ahead. To the sociologist the individ ual Is nothing as an individual; he is concerned with the life of society, which outlives many generations of individuals. This it is which endows marriage with its supreme impor tance for him. He leaves it -with the psychologist to inquire as to the com parative worth of marriage and other forms of sex relation to the individu al; but he must inquire as to its in fluence upon the future life of the so ciety in which it occurs. Marriage vindicates itself in his eyes because it furnishes the one perfect condition for the young generation, whose busi ness it is to continue the life of soci ety. Thus the sociologist looks with entirely distinct Interest upon the two kinds of marriages. The childless mar riage is doubtless of interest to the psychologist the student of charac ter; but it matters scarcely anything at all for the sociologist, for it signi fies nothing for the future. True, it is a social relation, but, so far as he is concerned, it amounts to nothing more than that two persons, who happen to be of opposite sexes, live in the same house and arrange their finances joint ly. It is the appearance of a baby that vitally Interests the sociologist, re marks Dr. C. W.tSaleeby, in Harms worth Self-Educator, for now he has to consider not merely n marriage, but n marriage leading to the family. In this respect he is like nature. She, also, is "careless of the single life." and for those who are not parents, whether they be married' or unmar ried, she cares little or nothing. "Her supreme Interest," as the present writer has said elsewhere, "Is with those chosen individuals upon whose character "and behavior, as upon nc other factor in the universe, the whole future of the race depends." - A Plymouth man asked a Province town man how tall that shaft that is to be erected at Provincetown 'tc commemorate the landing of the Pil grims there was to be. And the Provincetown man replied that it would certainly be tall enough to be seen from Plymouth and other places that are fond of posing as the original Pilgrim landing places. This indi cates, remarks the Boston Herald, the somewhat testy state of mind ex istlag among the inhabitants of these places. There's no true love lost be tween them, and the ceremonies at Provincetown did not soften this feel tag altogether. GREAT-GRANDFATHER AT 57. Pennsylvania Man Has Achieved Unique Distinction for His Age. Heading, Pa. At 57, Peter f. Nagle of this place boasts of being the most youthful great-grandfather in the state, while his son, William A. Nagle of 2543 Berks street, Philadelphia, is eqaauy positive that few grandfa thers can put down their ages at 38. Besides having the most youthful great-grandfather in the state. Baby Carroll can boast of the distinction of having great-grandmothers living. They are: Mrs. Peter F. Nagle. Mrs. Thomas F. Beckley, who lives with her husband at the home of William Nagle; Mrs. Leonard: Lewis, of Alba, Pa., and Mrs. Anna Greenlaw, of Wil liamsport The -husbands of the two latter are dead. The latter is the father of Earl Nagle. also of Philadelphia, who is 21 years of age, and he has n son, Carroll wagie. wno was born two years ago. William -A. Nagle was a grandfather at J7, which is considered very young. At a family reunion held here some time ago Peter F. Nagle, his son, Wil liam A.; grandson. Earl, and great grandson.

A remarkable discovery of checks, which had drifted 500 miles at sea. has been made on the German coast at Wyk, in the Island of Fohr. They were drawn on the Dover branch of the National Provincial Bank of England, the manager of which was notified of their discovery through Lloyd's agency at Fohr. The German finders believed them to be valuable, and asked if any reward was offered for their recovery. At first the whole affair was a mys tery to the bank officials, but inquiries resulted in a peculiar explanation. About six months ago a client of the bank, who had changed his ad dress, placed a large number of old checks and other papers In a sack. He had the sack taken out into the straits of Dover and sunk. In the drift of about 500 miles from Dover to the Island of Fohr, off the German coast, the sack had burst, with the result that the checks it con tained will probably be floating ashore on various parts of the European coast line. mBflBHBBBJBBflBJBJBJBg 'nnnnnnnnnvHnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn1SnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnlL mmmnuuKj3mnsnnKjsnunnunsssssssssssssmmmmmmmmmmmmmmi MnnnnnnnnBgojnniwnnnntMnnnnnnnynBnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn?3innnnnnnnnnnnnnn MHMjngkffgv &yssESnsssfssjBSBnunnunnunnuTrajo nnuuKsnl2&8snnnsP5v'8smuwlfin nnnnesKBnnKmBnH'Ks&.Cv&snnnnsanRnnnWnn v amWmxiM&iMfBhiwKmataSasthlBlm nannsBKyp " -ry ssnsnsnssBnsnnmmnk-T? : K?vuCknnanFHnn'nnnniinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnni Ibi&&&?' ? x jnnnnnnnjnnnnnntt7n9nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnB lnm ''nnnnnnnnnsnnnnBBM mnuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnk'sJflH mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmvv,,xjmssmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmuj nnnwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnsifsnnEs?nnnnnnnknnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nsnnnnsssssssssssssssssssssrv;oBjEmtesnnnwm nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnKSnnnnSnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnH kmaaaaaaaakSmihmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnjBpgrs? ? rnnnnnisnnnnnnnnunnnnnnnnnrTannns 4 .

AN ONION WITHOUT ODOR ACHIEVEMENT OF. OLD OKLA ' HOMA HORTICULTURIST. New Evolutions in Plant Life by David Jaggers, Known Among Indians as "Luwier Burbank of Col- linsvilie." Collinsville, I. T. David Jaggers, better known among the Indians as ."Luther Burbanks of Collinsville." conducts a ten-acre 'experimental sta tion just on the outskirts of this city. He has lived among the Cherokee In dians for the last 57 years, having come direct from London. England, in 1850, where he was born 86 years ago. It was he who taught the Indians the art of horticulture, and who is respon sible for many large orchards and vineyards in this part of the proposed new state of Oklahoma. This 'grand old man worked for the last 20 years trying to get n perfect cross between a common cabbage and a turnip, and it was only by accident that his success was known. Some bad boys entered his "garden of the Wizard of Ox." as the white people here call his place, and in the dark ness stole what they supposed were a number of cabbages. These were sold to the Hotel London. The land lady noticed how peculiar they 'ap peared, but cooked them for dinner. A number of commercial travelers in quired how she managed to get such a perfect combination and the ladv told of the purchase and explained how the vegetable had been cooked. The writer heard of the story and set about to learn the truth from the old gentleman. Upon being asked what discoveries he had made in plant life, and for a statement for publica tion Mr. Jaggers replied: "I was not ready to give the news of my turnip cabbage combination to the public, but the boys stole them, and I guess the secret is out I have been working along lines similar in LATEST FOR NATURE FAKERS. White Crow Has Been Discovered Cornfields of Maine. in A medical contemporary makes the surprising announcement that "cities are more brunette than surrounding country districts." Why this should be with most of the bleaching prepara tions in the cities is not evident, un less it may be a result of coal smoke. Rumford Falls, Me. A white black bird is a common expression used in credulously, but Oxford county is just now tenanted by something fully as rare a white crow. This freak of nature is reported from the town of Oxford, where the crow is seen daily in the fields below the Town House hilL The bird is full grown, and while the head and breast are black the back and wings are snowy white. The peculiarly marked crow is al ways in a flock of glossy black ordin ary corn-pullers, among whom he struts proudly, evidently acting as councillor. This strange marking Is nil that distinguishes the bird from its fellows, as it is of the same size and its wings have the same swinging flap characteristic of the crow family. Its note has not been heard. many respects to Luther Burbank. but mine have been almost exclusively in 1 the time and trouble. vegetables and fruits. The Cherokee Indians have furnished me with mon ey for nearly 58 years to carry on my experiments, and to-day they are among the greatest orchardlsts in the world. They are apt students and are enthusiastic over fruit and berry cul ture. "My odorless onion and several crosses between the sweet and Irish potatoes are probably the greatest achievements yet made by me. The cabbage and turnip combination, as I call it, makes a most delicious dish, but I am not satisfied with it entirely. It has occupied many years of my time, but I hope yet to make it more pleasing to the taste. "When I came among the Indians in 1850 they eyed my work with sus picion, but it was not long until they realized the importance of horticulture and plant life. They told me that fruits and berries were what they wanted, and later they would experi ment with flowers and vegetables. I have found them a most delightful and honorable class of people to deal with, and I am sure the general reading public is not acquainted with them. If they were they would respect them for their true worth. "No, I am not personally acquaint ed with Burbank, but I read of him often, and admire him greatly. I am a mere novice in plant, life when com pared to him. although much of my work ;is along the same lines, but on a very limited scale. I have never attempted to do more than assist my noble friends and benefactors in hor ticulture, berries, and vegetables. Just how well I have succeeded can be de termined by a visit to the many mag nificent orchards scattered about over the Cherokee nation. The Indian peach, a large, blood red, and the Elberta' are the most noted peaches In the southwest The "Arkansaw black" apple ranks first among the or chards in this country. These have been greatly improved by me, and I feel that my work has been well worth A nice way to cooktender corn is in milk. In this case husk the corn and drop into the boiling milk.'- Cook just five minutes from the time it begins to boil. Keep covered closely while cooking and serve as soon as, done. Where there is a large family to be provided with corn, it is wiser to cook the corn in relays. Indian Corn Pudding. Select firm, fresh ears of corn, medium size, and with a keen-bladed knife score each row of kernels, then scrape out the pulp, leaving the hulls on the' cob. To the pulp taken from a dozen ears allow a pint and a half rich milk, four beat en eggs, a teaspoonful salt, n half tea- spoonful pepper, and If the corn lacks sweetness two or three tablespoonfuls sugar. BsXe In a well-buttered deep earthen disn for two hours, in n slow, steady oven. Corn Fritters. Cut the kernels from four good-sized ears young corn. Add two beaten eggs, half a teaspoonful salt,' a saltspoonful. pepper, a cup of Sour pressed down and heaped a little, and a cup of cold milk.' Have ready a hot frying pan well greased and drop in the batter by spoonfuls. There should be enough for a dozens. Do not let the fritters touch. Cook in re lays, frying on one side four minutes, then turn and fry the other. These are delicious as an accompaniment for chicken or to serve for breakfast Green Corn Omelet Score the rows of four large ears of corn and scrape out the pulp. Mix with five well-beaten eggs, whites and yolks together. one tablespoonful cream, half a tea spoonful salt and pepper to season. Heat a frying pan, drop In n table spoonful butter and grease every por tion of the sides and bottom. Pour in the omelet and tilt the pan. sliding a thin-bladed knife under the omelet to prevent its sticking. When nearly cooked on top the stove, set in the oven to finish. Then fold over and turn on to n hot platter. Broiled Sweet Corn. Boil the oars of corn two minutes, then drain and dry on a towel. Place on a broiler and toast over glowing coals or under the gas flame unto n good brown. Season with salt and send to the table in a napkin. Baked Corn. Take off the coarse outer husks from young corn, turn back the inner and remove the silk. Bring the inner husks back over the end, tie in place, and lay in the oven. Bake about 20 minutes. What to Do with Left-Over Corn. Cut from the cob, then chop very fine. Put over the fire in a shallow basin, adding milk to moisten slightly. Let it just come to a boil, no more, or it will be hopelessly toughened; season with salt pepper and butter, and serve at once.

Twice reduced to poverty by the "slings and flings of outrageous. fortune" and as often hav ing riches dumped upon him, Samuel A. Brown, formerly of Sioux City and known as "Beauty" Brown, has again received a large cargo of money, this time from 'a wealthy uncle, and has purchased a country home 12 miles from Philadelphia, where he and his wife, formerly Mrs. Louise Miller of Sioux City, 'are now living in luxury. Wedded when a mere boy to a wealthy widow in Philadelphia, who lavished her riches on him; admired by his wife's younger friends; mis taken for a Yanderbilt because of his superb horsemanship; divorced be cause he refused to be an old woman's darling; left without a cent in the world. Brown gained a considerable fortune, and it was swept away when the Union Savings bank of Philadel phia failed a year ago. These are but a few of the incidents in the life of Samuel Brown. When Brown came to Sioux City he attracted attention by his peculiar dress, insisting on wearing corset shaped coats, and now and then a rid ing habit with a watteau back. He carried a riding whip and wore leather leggings, though he did not always have a horse. Then he had a romantic marriage, driving up to the door of a church at Sioux City during the serv ice and calling the minister outside, gave the world one of the only eques trian weddings on record. Following his marriage to Mrs. Louise Miller, of Sioux City, the for mer Mrs. Brown, of Philadelphia, threatened to make business pick up for her divorced youthful husband, but the trouble was settled out of court, and 'Mr. and Mrs. Brown departed for Baltimore, where he had secured a position in a store. Corn, Tomatoes and Rice. For a Sunday night tea corn cooked in the following way en casserolo is always a favorite dish. The corn is cut off the cob and enough put in the casserole to almost fill it Salt, but ter, a tablespoonful of paprika supply the seasoning.. This is an excellent dish to serve with cold meats. Tomatoes with rice is one of the main combinations of the casserole cook. The rice is cooked first to soften it and then the tomatoes are added with the proper seasoning and enough of the chopped green peppers to impart a very delicate flavor. It is very essential to the making of any casserole dish to have all the in gredients well cooked and well blend ed. One should not be cooked more than the other as this will Impair the dellclousness and flavor of the whole. And, usually, high seasoning is liked by those who are fond of casserole dishes. To Wash Greasy Flannels. The best way to wash greasy flan- nels is to soak them for half an hour in soapy water. The water should cover the garment and should not be. allowed to get cold while the flannels are soaking. Add a good quantity of ammonia to the soapy water and place a cover over the tub or receptacle where the flannels are soaking. Wash in a second fresh lather and then rinse thoroughly.

The coming change, therefore, is not a radical one. Clean with Gasoline. Boleros and blouses of velvet, and. in fact, any small articles fashioned pf this materia, may be easily cleaned at home by means of gasoline.

Dr. Augustus Charles Bernays, who died n few days ago in St Louis, was, probably, the foremost surgeon in the United States. His fame was co extensive with the civilized world. He was not only an operator of the high est order, but a tireless and exhaus tive worker In the field of original surgery. He performed the first suc cessful Caesarian -section in 1889 in St Louis, and also the first successful coeliotomy for gunshot wound of the abdomen and the first gallstone opera tion in Missouri. A record held by Dr. Bernays has never been equaled: Out of eighty-one successive cases of appendicitis which necessitated operations, seventy-one in succession were with perfectly satisfactory re sults, the seventy-second patient fall ing of recovery, but the subsequent nine cases were successfully treated. And yet, with such a record, match less as was his skill, varied and ex tensive as was his learning, wonder ful as were his accomplishments, he was not considered, by the American Medical Association, as worthy of membership In that organization. No charges were ever brought against aim which. In the remotest degree, reflected on his qualifications as a surgeon; his moral character was never the subject of attack; he was never accused of having done any thing unbecoming a man or a gentle man. "The head and. front of his of fending had this extent no more!" He dared to think! He refused to mold his opinions and to govern his actions by the arbitrary rules which those whom he knew to be his infer iors bad set up for his guidance! In other words, he could not regard the Code of Ethics of the American Medi cal Association as being inspired, or having any binding authority on him whero his judgment told him it was wrong. And so, twenty years ago or more, on account of some trivial in fraction of this sacred "Code," a movement was started to expel him from the local association, which was only defeated by his hastily sending in his resignation. As membership in the A. M. A. is dependent upon mem bership in the local and State socie ties, his name was dropped by the national organization. And so. though he had saved thou sands of lives; though other physi cians had profited by his art; this brilliant surgeon; this great and able man, has, during all these years, been an outcast a medical "scab;" not recognized as "ethical" or worthy of fellowship by that body of physicians banded together in the American Med ical Association! And this is the association which, under pretense of working for the public good, is, in reality, only seeking to control Congress and the State Legislatures in the Interest of their own selfish schemes; which is trying to create a Cabinet position and to place one of its members in that po sition; which is endeavoring by law to exclude from the use of the mails, all manufacturers of medicines who do not comply with the absurd re quirements that they choose to set up; which, in short. Is trying to put. upon the statute books of State and nation laws that will, in effect estab lish n kind of medical priesthood, to which only their own members will be eligible with power and control over the health and lives of the people! God help the druggists, the drug manufacturers, physicians not mem bers of their guild, and the people generally, if this association ever suc ceeds in its undertaking. If it does, it will, after the fashion of the labor unions, dictate a "closed shop," and say to doctors who prefer to be inde pendent, "You must join our union or, failing to do so, compel them to get out of the business. It will, say what medicines shall be taken, and how they shall be made. It will hedge the people about with a lot of petty regulations under pretense of protect ing the public health. In fine, a medi cal bureaucracy will be established to tyrannize over the people. Let no man call this a false alarm. If there are those who are inclined to do so, let them read the journal of the A. M. A. Let them scan the proceedings of the association, held always behind closed doors, and care fully edited, as they are, before they are published in its official organ. If they will do this they will see that we are not trying to create a bugaboo to frighten their timid souls. Mr. H. J.
