The Statesman, Of Austin, is terribly
exercised In spirit over the organization
of the negroes of Northeast Texas into
knights OF Labor Assemblies; then,
descending the lines, sees the same ter
rible condition OF affairs presenting
themselves in Central Texas. Its quak-
ing soul, soenting dAnger in the possible
gathering together of few poor cOlored
people to better their industrial cOndi-
ton, takes alarm at what it designates
1.-THE first attempt for the organization
of the colOred race into secret society
since the emancipation" The native
Southerner, who knows SO much about
the character Of the human chattle
whom he owned before the 'wah must
look with solicitude upon the move
ment of the cOlOred people, so says the
Statesman. Very well-why don't Mr..
un-Statesman show some solicitude
about the education, industrial progress,
intellectual advancement and general
development Of the race, whose move
ments in their own behalf are viewed
with such selicitude." 1t was just
such unstatesmanship as the misnamed
Statesman displays that killed the Blair
educational bill, because it interfered
with the divine right of the State to
keep its colered population in ignorance.
The manhood right, Irrespective Of race
conditions, has never dawhed upon the
consciousness of some men who essay to
guide public opinion, when all they can
personally lay claim to is miserable,
sickly prejudice.

Naming the Camelia.

Ferdinand VI. Of Spain, while suffer-
ing under the hereditary melancholy
from which he subsequently died, was
pacing to and fro one December day in
the year 1889 in his bedroom in the
Palace Royal Of Madrid. He was in
terrupted by the entrance of Maria
Theresa. his queen, who bounded gay
" into the room. In her hand she
held flower of dazzling whiteness,
which she presented to her husband.
"A beautiful flower. but sccntless.
exclaimed the king. folding in his arms
the the wife whom he passionately
loved.
1T is the new flower of the Philip
pines. said the queen. Il have kept
the best for You.
The flower which Maria Theresa
brought to her husband century and
a half ago had been presented TO her
the previous day by a Jewish mission
airy just returned from the Indies.
Craving an audience from his sovereign
he brought his offering small shrub
with glossy green leaves, on which
blossomed two magnificent white flow
ers, and which he had brought from
the Island of Luzon, one of the Phil
ippine group. 1t was about three feet
in height and grew in vase of mother
Of pearl. The Jesuit donor was named
Camelia.

Says DR.. VIM. A. Hammond: The
chief object Of underc.othing is the re-
tention of the natural heat Of the body
in such way that low temperatures
and sudden changes will not affect the
surface. Several years ago perform
ed some experiments which went to
show beyond any doubt that silk is be-
low wool in its power TO prevent the
loss of heat from the body. and very
little superior tc cotton. Indeed, moth
ing is in this respect preferable to wool,
and Of this material all underclothing
meant or winter should be made. In
summer mixture OF wool and cotton.
called mcrino, may be worn. but even
in very hot weather silk is not desira-
bic. for it i not such ready absorbcr
Of the pcrspiration as wool. and allows
the body to be kept in state not very
remote from that known as parboiled.
Wool. however, taking up. as it does.
the moisture from the body, exposes it
to the atmosphere or is evaporated.
and. the process being cooling one,
keeps the skin from being overheated.
No underclothing should ever be so
thick as to prevent free passage Of the
cutaneous excretiOns and the atmos-
pheric air. The skin requires ventila-
lion as do the lungs. Chamois skin
perforated or upper
forated, are denominations.

The important QuestfOn.

Water is the most important part Of
the feeding of cows. Few people
think that water is food. Food really
consists Of whatever may be taken by
an animal or plant. for the purpose of
supporting life and adding t. its sus-
tenance. II this is true definition,
water is then food, and from its Pc
culiar influence upon the system aud
its rapid and complete absorption into
the blood and circulation of an animal.
it is of greater Importance to health
and profit in feeding than solid food.
The blood and flesh OF animals consists
chiefly Of water. Seventy-iivc per
cent, or three-fourths Of the live
weight consists Of water. We're it not
for this large proportion of water, the
blood could not flow in the veins and
life could not exist. Moreover, water
is absorbed into the blood with more
rapidity.
ii the water is not pure it carries
with it into the blood and milk what
ever impure matter il may contain.
and the COW becomes diseased or the
lmpurity collects in the milk and in
jures its quality. There are abundant
facts which 60 to prove this. Cows
have drunk the stagnant water in low,
swampy meadows which have been
TILED with putrid germs. and few
hours afterward the milk has been
filled with these same germs and be-
come putrid in short time. Cheese

Origin OF the Peach.

The great ancestor of the peach was
purely tropical plant that could not
endure the least touch Of the frost
The almond. from which. by man aid
ing nature, the peach has been pro-
duccd, is SO fragile that it can scarcely
be made to grow even in the warmcst
portions Of the United States; yet, after
many ages of coaxing and gradual
acclimatization, it was transplanted
from the hot suns and warm fields oi
Arabia to the frost-touchcd highlands
of Persia. But instead OF the rich
kernel being the tempting food which
the tree offered to the cultivator. as
was the case with the parent almond in
Arabia, it was the husk which man ate
in Persia; but not the hard green. in
digestible woody rind Of the almond,
but the rich, luscious peach.
