PRESSURES.
The Burdens which Rest on Mankind From
the Cradle to the Grave.

The Burdens which Rest on Mankind From
the Cradle to the Grave.
The text books tell us that man of
that he sustainS constant load of
over three thousand pounds, or more
than fifteen tons. If this pressure is
partially removed from one surface of
the body, its existence then becomes
very manifest The barometer shows
us that this pressure constantly varies
having its daily maximum and mimi
mum and its s'high" and ''low," and
these variations are an essential ele-
ment in making predictions about the
weather. We learn more or less well
to adjust ourselves to this fluctuating
weight of fifteen tons, and to carry on
our business and pursue our pleasures
with but slight regard to the height of
the mercury in either the thermometer
or barometer. When these atmos-
pheric pressures become violent and
destructive, as they often do, causing
death and devastation, then the sur
vivors, when the cyclone is past, gather
themselves and the fragments that re-
main together and consider ''the value
of what is left" and build again the
waste places.
The great harvests of the world are
gathered in climates subject to con-
slant and wide variations of atmos-
pheric pressure and of heat and cold.
The fields that next summer will be
green with growing grain are now COW
cred with a soft mantle of fertilizing
snow and swept by wind and storm.
We can not estimate the weight of
~trouble' to which ''man is born" as
we can that of air, but like the air it
presses upon US in every direction from
the time we cry our first cry till we
cease to breathe. We give it various
names-pain, sickness, disappointment,
sorrow, hunger. poverty, ignorance,
death and whatever else NAV be included
in the Ellis of Efe," These burdens
press on some more than others, and
on all with varying weight. Some
may be for a time unconscious of
them, and some are rarely conscious
of anything else. The great work of
the world is done under the pressure of
these burdens and by reason of them.

The Advent Into and Capture of the Land
by the Commercial Yankee.
The Yankees. who came hither origi-
nally for health or to escape the rigors
of Northern winters, are now coming
with commercial intent They are
cutting down the forests along the
Gulf coast and cutting up the logs into
lumber. They are draining the vast
areas of swamp land, and have com
menced raising cane" on the drained
land in a very practicable sort of 4
way. They are planting orange groves
and improving the methods of orange
culture, and they are gradually attain
ing to 4 monopoly of active business
buying. selling, building railroads,
steamboating, and doing whatever
they may to gather two dollar fruit
where they sow one dollar seed.
The thrift and prosperity of the new
corners have visibly added to the thrift
and prosperity of the earlier. harder
settlers. They have distinctly mended
their pace to keep step with Northern
activity. But it must not be supposed
that Florida will ever be converted
into new Yankee land. On the con-
trary, the invaders from the North who
come here to live every year take on
more and more the appearance and
characteristics of the natives. 1t is not
given to man to shape the weather,
but the weather does shape the man.
The invincible sunshine and the warm,
compulsive rains soon have their infiu-
ence on the going and coming of the
swiftest goers and corners. 1t is not
reasonable that person who can pick
his breakfast from an orange tree and
gather dinner of bananas should de-
velcp the energy of differently stu
ated person who must plant his potatoes
and hoe and dig them before he can
have the pleasure of eating them. So
the Northerner who comes down here
and builds him house the first month
of his stay, and plants his grove the
next, gradually finds himself falling
into the slip-shod ways. His fences
get to be disreputable; his house is not
freshly painted; his walks are neg
lected; his garden goes to weeds; and
he and his wife and his children settle
into the easy untidiness which BELTS
the latitude. 1t is the latitude which
governs. If the Mayflower had landed
at st. Augustine, instead of Plymouth
Rock, possibly the Seminoles would
have been sooner eXterminated; but

and stony soil of New England would

Kansas City is by railroad to Caldwell,
on the northern border of the Indian
Territory. From that point stage
road and cattle trail runs down the
west side of the Oklahoma country to
Fort Reno. which is about three-fourths
of the way down the western border.
At that point the road passes out of the
Oklahoma country on its way to Fort
Sill. From Caldwell to the north line
of the Oklahoma country is about
sixty miles, the Salt Fork of the Ar
kansas River being crossed at about
half the way. The country shown
upon the map is what remains unoccu-
pied of the cessions made by the Semi
noles and Creeks to the United States
under the treaties of 1866.

Oklahoma country which is just now
attracting the attention of not only the
people of the West but also the Ma

question has an extent of about one
thousand eight hundred square miles.
In order to reach it it is necessary to
go from the. borders of Kansas one
hundred and twenty miles westward
through the Cherokee country. Its
boundary on the South is the Canadian
River, on the north the Cimarron

In the book eff infaniss that have
stained the history Of nations, there is
no blet so damnable - that which is
now being smeared thereon By the
courts of England. Up from the hell

torture, to torment, to cruelty the
man who dared to show them up in
all their naked deformity. That

full murderers of girlish innocence
continue to polluts the atmosphere
with their breath, is q disgrace to the
nation which permits it, shame and
a reproach to any people who will

as we believe he will be,
it will be the most infamous act ia a
leng record of English infamies. God
grant that this iRfamy will start such
a blaze in the hearts of the English

Unhappy Nellie.

Now it leaks out that Mrs. Sartoris
(nes Miss Nellie Grant, is unhappy
and about to separate from her hus-
band. However, she deserves little
sympathy. Raised and panpered in
the White House, an American huss
band was not good enough for her,
she had to marry an English snob.
An Eastern exchange says: The truth
is that the only reason why the separa-
ton has not been completed between
Nellie Grant and her husband has
been because of her inability to obtain
possession of her three children.
Sartoris has been brutal in his treat
msnt Of her, and she does not want
to live with him. If the children ever
get to this side of the water they will
never be allowed to 90 back again.
If Mrs. Sartoris gets possession Of them
she will prsably, after the mouraing
in the Grant family ends, bring suit
for q divorce from the brutal, unap.
preciative creature she married. The
marriage was the regret of the Gener-
ais life. This is not gossip, but q
plain statement of fact.
