AN ORDER lOF NEGRO NUNS.
The Only One In the United States Lo
cated at New Orleans.
In the old French quarter of New
Orleans, with its narrow streets,
latticed windows and jealously
guarded courts, where the fig and
orange tree grow, is a square of
rather miscellaneous architecture.
Its central building, 717 Orleans
street, is several hundred years old.
It has a stately entrance, with great
pillars and old fashioned, ornately
carved doors. It was once the old
creole opera house and ballroom of
the early days. Now it is the home
of the colored nuns.
The powdered and ringleted dam
sels with hoop distended skirts who
stepped daintily across that thresh
old to scenes of gayety in bygone
years have given place to dark robed
figures whose white ruffled caps
only bring into stronger relief the
bronze and ebony of their skins.
The very names of the streets here
are rich in history and romance.
There are Orleans and Bourbon,
Chatres and him of the iron hand
and gentle heart, Tonty. Shades of
the past are jostling one another,
though in a gentle, shadelike way,
at every street corner, and at noth
ing do they seem to be more aston
ished than at the sight of the col
ored nuns.
Yet the order is not such a very
modern one after all, for it was
founded in New Orleans over half a
century ago. Its members are now
well known figures on the streets of
the Crescent City. The special ob
ject of its institution was the edu
cation and moral training of young
colored girlsand the care of orphans
and aged infirm people of the race.
It has had the cordial support of
such eminent churchmen as Arch
bishops Blanc, Odin, Perche, Leroy
and Janssens, who successively fill
ed the archiepiscopal see of New
Orleans. It is also a novitiate
where young colored girls are train
ed for the work of the order with
the view of extending that work to
every parish in Louisiana, and, if
possible, into every southern state.
One of the most interesting parts
of the convent is the orphan asy
lum, where children ranging in age
from the wee tots just beginning to
walk to girls of 12 and 14 years are
cared for. One of the sisters in
charge of the babies was an ex
slave. She is a real “mammy”
still.
“But, reverend mother, you seem
Xohave some white children here,”
visitor, comment
wvhrte >kjn of some
of the children.
“Oh, no,” said the nun, smiling a
bit wistfully at the ignorance of her
visitor, “they all have colored blood
in their veins! Maybe they are
only quadroons or octoroons. Some
of them, indeed, have only one tenth
colored blood, but that one-tenth
black counts more than the nine
tenths white and makes them be
long forever to the colored people.”
One is reminded of some of Ca
ble’s stories, the pathos and tragedy
thereof.
In the orphan asylum 135 children
are sheltered who would otherwise
be thrown upon the state. These
as well as the 60 poor old colored
men and women and many of the
children in the school are dependent
upon the sisters for their daily
bread. Formerly the sisters ob
tained a fair revenue by going
through the streets of New Orleans,
from door to door and into business
houses and railroad offices, solicit
ing alms for their charges. So
quietly did they labor that few out
side the city were even aware of the
existence of the order, the only col
ored sisterhood in the United States.

THE ERIE CANAL.
Claims Made In Behalf of Governor Clin
ton, Gouverneur Morris and Others.
A blue pitcher in the possession of
E. P. Powell of Clinton has inscribed
on one side “Utica, a village in the
state of New York, 30 years since a
wilderness; now, 1824, inferior to
none in the western section of the
state in population, wealth, com
merce, enterprise, active industry,
and civil improvement.” On the
other side of the pitcher is inscribed:
“The great Erie canal, a splendid
monument of the enterprise and re
sources of the state of New York.
Indebted for its early commence
ment and rapid completion to the
active energies, pre-eminent talents
and enlightened policy of De Witt
Clinton, late governor of the state.”
Canalboats and locks cover the rest
of the pitcher.
It is one of the very few now in
existence of these memorable me
mentos of the building of the great
canal. It is interesting, however,
mainly for the fact that it claims
for. De Witt Clinton the chief honor
of this great water course. It is now
known, however, that the Erie canal
did not owe its conception to the
Clintons. In July, 1810, De Witt
Clinton wrote from Mann’s Mills,
on Irondequoit creek, “Here is
where Mr. Geddes proposes a great
embankment for his canal.” This
recognition of Mr. Geddes as the fa
ther of the enterprise is distinct.
But still back of this we have this
record tjjat Gouverneur Morris, in
1803, in a conference with some
friends in Albany, spoke to Simeon
De Witt of a project that he had in
his head of “tapping Lake Erie” in
order to let the waters run overland
tathe Hudson, making a short line
of navigation from New York to the
lakes. Geddes heard of this project,
caught it up and pushed it with all
the energy of his active mind. In
1816 he was made engineer of 'the
proposed canal, in conjunction with
9 French engineer, and these two
a 1-00 Per Annum in Advance.
naa cnarge or tne surveying ana
supervision of the construction.
'These records seem to give the
original honor of the Erie canal to
Gouverneur Morris and to Geddes as
a close second. But another claimant
appeared in 1832 in the person of
Jesse Hawley. Mr. Hawley left a
will in which we find this clause: “I
give to the Historical society of New
York my original essays entitled
‘Observations of Canals,’ printed
from October, 1807, to April, 1808.
In these essays I claim to be the first
projector of the overland route of
the grand Erie canal, from Buffalo
to Utica. And I now herein declare
it for a truth, under all the solem
nity of this last document of my
life, that the idea of tapping Lake
Erie and taking its water across
the country to the Mohawk at Utica
was an original conception of my
own mind, which occurred to me at
Seneca Falls early in April, 1805.”
After complaining that the state
had not condescended to acknowl
edge his services in any public man
ner he requests the Historical soci
ety to accept the evidences and to
keep them in its sacred care.
Notwithstanding Mr. Hawley’s
claim, it is clear that others had
been thinking of the subject prior to
himself. Whether the jiroject was
really originated by Gouverneur
Morris or not we cannot say, but no
historic record has as yet been pre
sented which antedates his discus
sion of the matter in 1803. It must
be added that it seems quite prob
able that the restless mind of this
statesman gave birth to a project
which at the time seemed chimer
ical. No glory can be taken away
from the Clintons in this case, for,
while the national government was
appealed to for public improvements
in every other section of the coun
try, the Empire State, under the
presiding care of the Clintons alone,
without national aid, created the
grandest engineering enterprise of
the age.—Utica Herald.
Nuts For Eating.
Nuts are much employed in high
class cookery, but their value seems
not to be recognized by the majority
of country housewives, too many of
whom let the squirrels get them all.
Very delicious dishes are made of
chestnuts. Any nut makes a cake
more delicious. Nuts (-hopped and
sprinkled over puddings, hot or cold,
give a new flavor and greatly im
prove them, while mixed through
custard they make a surprising
change in this simple dish. Stewed
apples sprinkled with chopped nuts
and the core space filled with jam
a good dessert, which need be
of do cost except for the labor used,
and this is of only nominal value. —

“I guess that if the truth were

sip, “Miss Biglittle is the bone of

“Bone?” shouted the young man

I should say not. She weighs 145
pounds and is plump as a partridge. ,r

Our Lengthening Days.
A day is the name for the time in
which the earth rotates once and a
month for the time in which the
moon revolves once, says Professor
George H. Darwin in The Atlantic.
Then, since tidal friction retards the
earth’s rotation and the moon’s rev
olution, we may state that the day
and the month are now lengthening
at different rates which are calcula
ble, although the absolute rates in
time are unknown. It will suffice
for a general comprehension of the
problem to know that the present
rate of increase of the day is much
more rapid than that of the month,
and that this will hold good in the
future. Thus the number of rota
tions of the earth in the interval
comprised in one revolution of the
moon diminishes, or, in other words,
the number of days in the month di
minshes, although the length of each
day increases so rapidly that the
month itself is longer than at pres
ent. For example,when the day shall
be equal in length to two of our actu
al days the month may be as long as
37 of our days and the earth will
spin round only about 18 times in
the month.
Prince Alberts to Hire.
“Dress Coats to Hire” is an old
and familiar sign. “Prince Alberts
to Hire” is comparatively new. A
man in the business of renting dress
clothes said that frock suits had
been rented now for about a year.
They are worn for morning wed
dings and for other day occasions.
There is a demand for them, but it
is not nearly so great as that for
dress suits. A dozen frock coats
would be enough to carry with a
stock of 200 or 300 dress suits. The
cost of hiring a frock coat is the
same as that of hiring a dress suit,
being from $3 down, depending upon
newness, quality and style.—New
York Sun.

OILED CLOTHING.
The Waterproof Garments and the Tra
ditional Sou’wester of the Sailor.
A suit of oiled clothing such as is
commonly worn by sailors, consist
ing of a coat and a pair of trousers,
costs from $1.50 to $2.50, according
to the quality. An oilskin sou’west
er costs 25 to 50 cents. There are
many makes of oiled clothing, in
cluding some whose trademarks
have been familiar for many years.
The oilskin coat hanging outside the
outfitting and supply stores in
streets along the water front has
long been a familiar sign.
The life of an oilskin suit depends,
of course, primarily upon the wear
to which it is subjected, but largely
also upon the care taken of it. An
oilskin suit will last longer and keep
much better if hung up when not in
use than it will if rolled up, but it
may be that the user has noplace to
hang it or that he keeps it rolled
up to be ready to carry with him at
any time, as a pilot would do. In
dry latitudes, where a sailor has less
occasion to wear them, his oilskins,
if cared for, would of course wear
longer than where they were ofteh
worn. Usually the average life of
an oilskin suit worn by a sailor
would be about a year.
When a sailor’s oilskins crack or
get worn so that they are not water
proof, he oils them. They may need
oiling two or three times a year.
There are prepared oil dressings
made for this use and put up in lit
tle tin cans. Some sailors use oils of
one sort and another, and some sail
ors make a mixture of their own for
a dressing. The sailor is likely to
have a preference for some one
brand of clothing and to stick to it,
and he has his own idea as to the
best dressing for it, but he carries
always with him a dressing of some
sort. It is put on with a brush, the
garments being hung up and painted
with it.
Oilskin coats worn aboard ship by
men before the mast are cut short, so
as not to interfere in any way with
their movements. The coats worn by
the officers of a shiji are cut longer.
The officers in some cases wear rub
ber coats, but the oilskin is the coat
they commonly wear.
While oiled clothing and the tra
ditional sou’wester are most famil
iarly associated in the mind with
ideas of sailors and of the sea, they
are also, as matter of fact, very
largely and extensively worn upon
the land by truckmen and car driv
ers and many other outdoor workers
and by sportsmen.—New York Sun.
Extracting; the Young; Idea.
Two events of one day convinced
a young lady of Piety Hill that the
infant mind is one of the most pro
found mysteries of nature. It was
her first effort with a class of little
Sunday school children, and after
talking with them in her most im
pressive way for half an hour she
asked her precious charges what
they thought of their lessons. One
little girl, with golden hair and
great blue eyes such as artists love
to reproduce in themes divine, indi
cated a desire to speak.
“What is it, my dear?”
“Miss Earnest, if you lived to be
a hun’red years old you’ll never
have a prettier hat than the one
what you got on now.”
The second developed later in the
day. She told the little ones that
they must not let the weeds grow
up in their hearts, for they were
the weeds of sin and worse than
death. One fat cherub who had
never known what it was to be sick
set up a howl as soon as he reached
home. Being short on a knowledge
of anatomy he sat holding his di
gestive apparatus and declaring that
the weeds growing in his heart
were “a’mos killin’’ him. Ignorant
of the cause of alarm, the terrified
parents kept the telephone wires
hot till they secured the presence of
three doctors, who were quickly
followed by others who had not
been in when called. While the
others were gravely consulting, one
shrewd practitioner extracted the
story of the Sunday school lesson
and administered a dose of sugar
and water. Ten minutes later the
little fellow was telling how near
he came to dying while he was eat
ing enough for a harvest hand
What is a poet ? To whom does
he address himself t And what lan
guage is to be expected from him ?
He is a man speaking to men—a
man, it is true, endowed with more
lively sensibility, more enthusiasm
and tenderness, who has a greater
knowledge of human nature and a
more comprehensive soul than are
supposed to be common among man
kind ; a man pleased with his own
passions and volitions, and who re
joices more than other men in the
spirit of life that is in him; delight
ing to contemplate similar volitions
and passions as manifested in the
goings on of the universe and habit
ually impelled to create them where
he does not find them. To these
qualities he has added a disposition
to be affected more than other men
by absent things, as if they were
present; an ability of conjuring up
in himself passions which are indeed
far from being the same as those
produced by real events, yet (espe
cially in those parts of the general
sympathy which are pleasing and
delightful) to more nearly resemble
the passions produced by real events
than anything which, from the mo
tions of their own minds merely,
other men are accustomed to feel in
themselves; whence, and from prac
tice, he has acquired a greater read
iness and power in expressing what
he thinks and feels, and especially
those thoughts and feelings which,
by his own choice or from the
structure of his own mind, arise in
him without immediate external ex
sitemeut.
