A Sensible Word Of Warning to
Girls, e7lf

The following communication APP
peared in the Dyersburg Gazette. The
advice to girls applies here in dude
stricken Memphis as we'll as any place
in the world!
In your answer to "a Dyersburg
Girl you are certainly mistaken in
one point and owe the "ass" an apol-
ogy. The dude could not possibly
have been an ass even in the remotest
past, for, although that opinion con-
firms Darwin's theory of evolution, it
forever destroys his accepted idea Of
"the survival OF the fttest." He
cannot with propriety be called a man
either, though, thank the Lord, he
wears mems Clothes We may detect
through certain intTicacies that he

The Land OF FntnI RennlH.

Italy is the most malarious country
in the civilized world. OF the sixty>
nino Provinces of the Kingdom, only
six are nominally free from what is
known IS miasmatic or Roman fever,
and in twenty-one the scourge assumes
really serious proportions. Every
year no fewer than forty thousand
men in the army arc attacked by the
disease, and it is calculated that the
prevalence Of malaria necessitates
the annual expenditure by the
government Of something like ten mil.
lion fire for the maintenance of spe-
cial hospitals for public servants. II
has been found that the extension Of
the railway system throughout the
Peninsular has increased the evil.
The turning up of fresh, damp earth,
and the unavoidable formation of new
banks, deep cuttings, and excavations
which speedily fill with water, breed
the disease in its worst forms. On
one OF the railway lines which runs
through much marsh land, the annual
rate Immortality among the employees
is 36 per 1000.

THE BismarcIk Family.

Enthusiastic genealogists have been
occupying themselves OF late prescott
ing researches into the origin Of the
Bismarck family. The result so far
has been to show that the Bismarcks,
long ago. belonged TO the nobility Of
the Aitmark, Brandenburg, where
they had more than one castle, but
that they were originally descended
from an untitled bourgeois family.
The Bismarck whose name is first
chronicled belongs to the date 1910.
He was named Herbert, and was an Al
derman Of the Guild Of Master Tailors
of the town Of Stendal. The same dig
nifty was attained by his grandson,
Rudolph, in 1909. Klaus Bismarck, a
son of the latter, was faithful adher-
emit Of the Margraf, Ludwig Of Bava-
ria. Klaus attained some note as a
statesman, especially as fnancier, aud
he may be regarded as the real founder
OF the noble family of Won Bismarck.
He owned several estates and left an
enormous fortune and extensive es-
tastes. Subsequently, 10 the course
Of time, the family lost these large
