6 i Put This Stove in Your Kitchen It is wonderfully convenient to do kitchen work on a stove that's ready at the instant wanted, and out of the way the moment you're done. Such a stove is the New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove. By using it you avoid the continuous overpowering heat of a coal fire and cook with comfort, even in dog days. The NEW PERFECTION Wiek Blue Fl? Oil Cook-Stove is so constructed that it cannot add perceptibly to the heat of a room; the flame being directed up a retaining chimney to the stove top where it is needed for cooking. You can see that a stove sending out heat in but one di rection would be preferable on a hot day to a stove radiating heat in all directions. The 'New Perfection" keeps a kitchen uniformly \ comfortable. Three s'-jes, fully warranted. j 1 If not with your dealer, write our nearest agency. Th?

Meowing of the Feline Saved Cap tain, Wife and Crew. "There's one th'ng in which cats and rats agree," said Captain Charles W. Bates, of the Boston schooner Maiden, as he wandered across the floor of the Maritime Exchange, "and that is. that they both will leave a sinkine: ship. So it wasn't so much of a surprise to me when the crew of the Maiden grew a bit supersti tious when our tabby leaped over the rail with a piteous wail and sank in about forty fathoms off the the coast of Georgia. "We'd been fifteen days out from San Juan, bound for a Florida port, but a gale drove us several hundred [ miles further north than we had in tended going, and when the Mai den's pussy iea.ped to her death we all had been guesssing for forty eight hours what would happen to our vessel. "Lyig on her starboard beam one moment and on her port the next, with seas washing over us so that we couldn't move across the deck, the Maiden was acting crazy enough for any shipload of deep sea mariners. The night before the cat v.ent free of the schooner's rail it had a dream, to which my wife and I can testify, for we were awakened by the ghastly meowing of the fe JUMPED OVER THE RAIL. line as'she stood, with back up and hair on end, at the foot end of our bunk. "What was still more strange, both my wife and I had been dream ing of a shipwreck when the cat awakened us, and the ill omen was so apparent that I told Mrs. Bates to dress and I dressed myself. On the watch I found Slmpkins, the mr.te, and five members of the crew, all working desperately to save the Maiden which was wallowing in a sea such as I had never seen be fore. "Matters kept growing worpe every minute from the time I got on deck, and it was shortly before dawn that the cat went over the side. That settled the crew and the men vho had been working at the pumps, with the water gaining on us every m'nute, decided that I should or der the boat lowered and cut away from the Maiden. The schooner was leaking like a sieve, and one might as well have tried to pump the? At lantic dry as to pump the Maiden fr-je of the briny. "Well, what happened to th? schomer need not take long to tell. She went down like a lump of lead and we had barely time to get the boat away before the topmasts dis appeared under the water. My wife and I and the crew of six drifted for a dozen hours befoio a Far East tramp bound for Savannah showed her lights and stopped for us. We were taken to Savannah where we received every hospitality that could b3 extended to as dreay a lot of eight shipwrecked mariners, Includ ing one woman, as ever drifted around the coast. "Will my wife go to sea again? Well, I reckon yes. The next time I get a ship you'll see her shipmates with me, and she has told me that we won't go to sea without a cat either, for the meowing of the Mai den's tabby undoubtedly saved our lives."

"It seems to me that our negro proulem is of a less compli | cated nature than that of the United j States. I dont knov,' whether che j fact that the Gold Coast negro, is a full blood, no mixture with white blood, has anything to do with it or not. The full blood negro seems to be more amenable, more simple minded, possibly, and is therefore more apt to follow the instructions of hie white teacher. We have made considerable progress with their ed ucation, which is Daturally of the primary character. We also teach tue? ? to be agriculturists and . ar tisan... and they are making wonder ful progress in those directions.

"The banana furnishes us with j Ink, with handkerchiefs, with wax, with blacking, with excelsior, with i oil, with flour, with window cord, and with br tshes." The speaker, a bananr planter from Jamaica, paused and smiled. "You don't believe me, do you?" h'" said. "Yet, truly, the banana tree Is a wonderful thing.' Every part of it serves some good use. Thus the long leaves make a fine excelsior. The juice beinj; rich in tannin, fur nishes a good indelible ink and a good shoe polish. The stems yield a line quality of hemp, and from this hemp there are made lace handker chiefs, cords, and ropes ot all kinds, ma's and brushes. The oil is used in g'lding.
