It is natural, therefore, that every woman is

to possess it. Nothing is easier than to attain
to this gift or to preserve it, if already

There is no class of individuals who

maltreated and ridiculed more than the
Negro newspaperman, and there is no
tnor potent factor in bringing Out" the
vary besfc parts Of oilr humanity and
elevating us to a higher standard than
the Negro newspapers. The White press
speaks Of us as it best knows us: as a
lazy, shiftless, good-for-nothing fellow,
waiting for an opportunity to commit
some heinous crime, or, as a "good old
nigger" who knows how to be "respect
ful t9 white folks,'' or. as a "sassy
black rascal," Whosfl head is so full of
learning that his brains have become
addled and his whole desire is to an
tagonizc wl ite people. These are the
three classes of Negroes we see repie
sented.tlm ugli the white press and, as
a matter of co use, the poor Negro gets
the worst of every argument from their
point of view. -Parely do we see a
commendable statement made of a
Negro through tho White press
that it is not -qualified by fay
ing that it . was unusual for
such a thing to be done by a Negro.
J he Negro newspapers present the
other side of the Ix'egro to the public. It
shows him as a man endowed with the
fame passions, sentiments and aspira
tion ' as any other race. The Negro
newspaper is the oniy medium by which
the advancement of the race can bo
made known; and the delight of the Ne
gro e.litor is at all times to tell of some
thing that his race has done that will
chn'lenge the approval of everybody.
iome com i lain of the poorly gotten-up

ing the grammar, rhetoric and every
thing that does not come up to their
standard of perfection. We admit that
the average Ngro newspaper, from a
literary standpoint, would not take first
prize in an open-to-all contest, but we
challenge the world to find a class of
men who have sacrificed more for the
good of the race than the men who as
sume the editorship of the average Ne
gro newspaper. It is'not necessary for
us to enumerate the many points in the
get-up of a Negro newspaper; the prin
cipal thing that we would have you un
derstand is the fact that if you don't
learn of tho Negro's advancement
through the Negro newspapers, you

Chain ot Human Bones.
Cyrus O. Thornton, a farmer living
a few miles out of Bolivar, has an odd
watch chain. It is made of human
bones. The chain consists of eight
links, each a trifle more than an inch
long, connected by plated rings. The
chain is about ten inches long, and has
been highly polished by years of wear
and glistens like ivory.
Thornton secured the chain at Peters
burg, Va., in 1834. He was a mem
ber of Company E, Fiftieth New York
Engineers. A member of the Twenty
first New York Infantry made two
chains while confined in Libby Prison,
and on his release met Thornton and
sold him the chain for $50 in green
backs. Thornton has forgotten the
maker's name. The bones were taken
from amputated arms and legs, and it
required eighteen months' time to
carve out the chains. For many years
after he came home from the war
Thornton wore the chain every day,
but for several years he has worn it
only on Memorial Day and. at Grand
Army reunions. Some of his neigh
bors once laughed at the idea of the
bones being taken from numan bodies,
and he sent the chain to a surgeon,
who examined it and pronounced it to
be of human bones. Fall River (Mass.)

A Crawling Rug.
Among the first "Instruments" to be
Used toward the education of the little
fcori ef the Duke and Duchess of York
is a crawlihg-rug, designed by Miss
Emma Windsor", who is f amolifl tot her
intelligent interpretation of the Froe1
bel idea of education.
FroebeL she says', constantly urged
upon mothers the necessity of the in
fants' education beginning . at thei
mothers' knee, and thinking of tbls
has led me to the invention of the ba
bies' crawling rug. It Is a large floor
picture of animals', birds and domestic
figures, made of real skin, swahsdowc,-
and other materials sewn on to flannel,
and is quite In harmony with Froebel'8
idea.
For as soon as baby is put on the rug
the first thing that the mite does Is to
begin to kick and stretch out Its limbs;
then It beglus to roll Over and look
about, and tries to clutch at the pretty
animals on the nig., Then baby finds it
beyond its reach, and the first attempt
to crawl Is after puss, or some other
equally familiar form which it sees on
the rug.
The kicking, the stretching out the
hand, the observation, the crawling,
and so ofl, arj all what Froebel calls
education.
As baby grows older it iearns, with
the help of mother and nurse, to Imi
tate the different sounds which the ani
mals make, to pick out one from the
other, and to learn their names.
Then baby should be taught to stroke
each animal gently, and to speak Its
name In tender tones." Then the infant
will early learn that love of animals
calls forth the love of mankind.
It is a good plan to teach the baby to
notice pictures of animals In children'
books, and to call its attention to liv-
Ing animals and their actions. As the
child grows older Its delight In Its zoo
logical carpet increases; and children
of seven years of age are known to
greatly appreciate them.
The place for the rug is the nursery,
the drawing-room, the bath-room, the
seaside, and on shipboard.
Let the Little Ones SI rep.
"God glveth Ills beloved sleep," and
little children should have plenty of It.
It is the tendency of the times to dis
regard this necessity; hence the In
crease of nervous diseases among our
young men Ind women. Sleep means
growth with young people, and unless
there is much sleep there will be no
healthy growth.-
Nature teaches a little child to He
down and sleep whenever it is ws?nry,
and after a bath or after its mid-day
meal, and It is only through artificial
Influences that a little child leaves oft
the habit of taking a dally nap, and It
is generally due to the mother's neglect
that it is finally dispensed with. Yet
the world often sympathizes with the
mother rather than the child when to
ward night baby grows cross and fret
ful, while the mother often grows im
patient, forgetting the long, tiresome
day which the little one has endured.
What wonder that these little ones
grow up into nervous young men and
women, with no constitutions to epeak
of!
Many grown people are pressed for
time to accomplish all that they desire.
and in their march for gold or daily
bread, find little time to rest, yet there
is no reason why they should begrudge
their children an extra hour's sleep in
the morning because they have an in
herited Idea that It Is more healthful
for them to rise early, and they fear
that if they are allowed to sleep until
they naturally awaken, habits of lazi
ness will be formed which will mar
their after lives.
The Rev. Andrew Jones of Kansas
City tearfully informs his own fellow
citizens and the people of Chicago md
New York that they are all under a
common Dan ana win De aestroy-u
within a few months. Mr. Jones nrluilis
that he has predicted all the great dis
asters of recent years and therefore
feels impelled to utter this warning
early in order, doubtless, to enable the
inhabitants concerned to move or oth
erwise prepare to meet their doom. If
Mr. Jones feels strongly on this sub
ject perhaps It is right that he should
make known his special and exclusive
information, but he should be more ex-
plicit as to the way the dissolution is to
be accomplished. He 6ays "either by
tornado or earthquake." This anibij
uity, typical of all oracles, may lead to
greater disaster even than the one he
predicts. It Is plain that a man must
know whether he is threatened by a
tornado or an earthquake or all his
precautions will result in a mere gam
ble with fate. A cyclone cellar, for In
stance, which would be an excellent
safeguard In case of a tornado, might
prove thoroughly uncomfortable if the
visitation should turn out to be an
earthquake. And again, resort to an
airship, which would successfully baf
fle eel&mic assaults, might result In su
preme discomfiture should a mighty
air disturbance ensue. If the Rev. Mr.
Jones wants to be honored as a prophet
In hl own country he must get down
more to details. '
