THE HowARD's APPEAL.
The Howard association of Memphis,
after having battlcd for the past two months
with the dread destroyer IN their midst,
find every dollar in their treasury exhausted,
with several hundred sick and convalescents
to be provided for and Il large number OF
nurses to be paid. We were hopeful in the
beginning that, with the funds then on
hand at the outbreak OF the epidemic, VIC
would be able to provide and care for the
sick that would be thrown on our hands
But the fever has continued to spread, and
with two long months yet before us, there
is no alternative, butte appeal to the
CHARITY OF THE NATION
for substantial aid. The generous people
throughout the union will not fail to re-
spond to this call for help. We feel that
We are performing a sacred duty to the i'm
poverished and distressed peo-
pie among whom our lot is
cast, The bounty Of common
people was showercd upon us in 1878, and
to those willing givcrs we appeal. If helr
is not speedily furnished we will be com

AN OH QUESTION. - Where did the
lsraelites oross the Red Sea2 Three
or four theories are prevalent. The
Arabs say several miles south of Soez,
between tho promontory OF Atakah
and Ayan Musa, whore the Red sea is
about ten miles wide. This view Is
strengthened by the Bible reference to
the walls Of water on both sides OF the
army, but DIR. Schaff says "it is impos.
sible that 100000 armed men, with
women and children, and their herds
OF cattle, could have crossed so great
distance in one night without prodi.
gious accumulation Of miracles" An
other theory places the crossing at the
bead. Of the gulf little north OF Suez.
Here is shoal channel, fur miles
long and less than half a mile wide, In
which there are several islands and
sandbanks, bare at low water. The
lsraelites might easily have crossed
here; indeed, 80 strong is the tide that
a strong east wind--such as Jehovah
caused to elbow at night''---would
have made the walls of water Of which
the Bible speaks. This place is gen
orally favored by modern biblical
critics. II was here that Napoleon,
deceived by the tidal wave, attempted
to cross In 1893, and, In bis own words,
nearly became second Pharoah.

OUR BROAD LANDS.

\ graphic presentation OF the areas
OF the States aud Territories OF the
United States and the countries Of
Europe has been Published 10 the New
turk iieraid, which shows ut glance
the comparative sizes Of the lands in
question. Ii is not until such com
parison as this is made that one can
realize the magnificence Of our landed
estate. The diagram shows that Texas
is larger than either the Austrian or
the German Empire, or France. The
population and wealth and power Of
these great Empires have grown with
centuries, but still it is no fancifnl spec
ulation TO see a wealth and power as
great as Texas. 1t has everything
climate, soil, great rivers and sea
board-and produces three of the great
staple articles Of commerce. England
and Wales together are smaller than
Florida, Georgia or Missouri, and only
half the size OF Arizona or Nevada
Georgia or Missouri could either Of
them support as large population as
that of England, and the treasures of
coal and iron that these States possess
are the things which did most TO give
England its advantage over the rest of
the world, and her era of industrial
and commercial supremacy. The States
of Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Kansas and Minnesota are as large or
larger than England and Wales, and
in each there is tho possibility of
material wealth and energy as great
as those of the flight Little Island
which was our mother country. Each
one, If not counter-poisoned by others,
might be a great Empire. Italy
which under the ancient Romans be-
came the mistress OF the world, and
which carried victory to the remotest
ends OF the earth, and after victo-
ry civilization, law and religion-this
Italy was a much smaller State than
California and not half 80 richly en-
dowed by nature in soil or mineral
wealth. Greece, the mother of the
arts, of poetry and philosophy and
science, OF architecture and sculpture,
was smaller than West Virginia or
South. Carolina, and only little larger
than Maryland. The State of Mary

than that of Greece at her

Our population is now nearly 50,000,-
900 but this is double that Of twenty
i've years ago and it is probable that
before the close of the century our
population will number 100000, 600.
No limit can be drawn to the possible
development of this Republic suppos-

under which we have grown so rapid.

SEND FOR MOTHER.

Dear me il wasn't enough for me

young couple, to whom baby's extra
ordinary grimaces alarming yawns,
which threaten TO dislocatc its chin
its wonderful sleeps, which it accom-.
plisbes with It's eyes half open, and no
porceptible hutter Of breath on its lips,
causing the young mother to imagine
it is,dead this time, and to shrek out !:
"Send for motherl" in tones of anguish
this young couple, In the light OF
the experience which three or four
babies bring, find that they have been
ridiculous, and given mother u good
many trots for nothing.
Did you ever send for mother and

sickness and infrmities Of age pre-
vented her. As when in your child.

your call, so they still do, and will con-
tinue to do as long as they arc able.
And then when the summons comes,
which none yet disregarded, though it
will be happy day for her, 1t will be
a very sad one for you, when God, too,
will send for mother r.
