POWERS OF HEALTH BOARDS.
A Local Organization Taken to Task In
Louisiana.


NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 2s.-At meeting
Of the state board of health, this morning,
the agent Of the Texas and Pacific railroad
read telegram received by him which
showed that the health board of Shreveport
refused to quarantine against this city, but
that, yielding to The demands of the
people and city council, they consented
to place an embargo on all points below
Alexandria, which had the same effect.
President Wilkinson considered that the
local authorities had exceeded their powers.
He said that the state hoard was co-operat-
ing with the health officers in preventing
the introduction of contagious diseases.
New Orleans was free from even "A suspici-
GUS case, and such arbitrary action as had
been taken by Shreveport had not been
countenanced.
LAYING DOWN THE LAW.
He accordingly telegraphed the Shreve-
port authorities as follows:
Boards OF health have not arbitrary powers.
The supreme court has plainly decided these
cases. The state board will assist all local

icy Enforced.

MEMPHIS, Sept 25.--This city has beer
very quiet to-day. Confidence is restored
and the feeling of uneasiuess, which
amounted almost to panic Friday, has
given way to a more rational view of the
situation. There really has never been any
cause for the alarm that has been
felt here. Decatur, Ala, and Jack
son, Miss, the only two towns in
the south, outside of Florida, affected by
yellow fever, are both a considerable dis
tance from Memphis, and none of the refu-
gees from these cities have been allowed to
come here. The non-intercourse quaran-
tine regulations which are being enforced
against all passenger trains on the seven
railroads leading into Memphis on the east
side of the Mississippi river, have caused q
suspension of travel, and the result is
shown in the few arrivals at the hotels. Ii
is estimated that fully 1000 people have
left here since Friday.
PRINCIPALLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
They were principally women and chill
dren, the wives and families of merchants
and others who on the announcement of the
outbreak of fever at Jackson, Miss, took

In the stampede that would surely follow

Business is virtually at a standstill
Country merchants cannot come 10 the city
under the present quarantine regulations,
and every small town adjacent has locked
its doors, so there are no mercantile trans
actions TO be recorded.
Local freight and passenger travel on all
railroads is suspended, and all the outcome
of the panic which prevails throughout this
section Of the country. IL Is the same from
Louisville south to Mobile and New
Orleans At many of tho stations passen-
gers on the south bound trains coming from
st. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville
and even further north and west are not
permitted to stop.
ACALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
President Hadden of the Taxing district
to-day had circular printed, which reads
as follows:
Volunteers Wanted. I'm view OF the fact that
the governor OF the state has not responded to
our kilograms requesting the services of our
militia companies for quarantine duty, we ask
for fifty men as volunteers 10 act on picket duty
on the dirt roads and river front until the serv-
ices OF the militia can be secured. Volunteers
will please report 10 Chief of Police Davis at
the station house immediately.

MERIDIAN. MISS, Sept. 23.-As numer-

the press of the country relative to yellow
fever in this city, the Associated Press cor

Amiens, who was killed while defending
the citadel in 1870. In a speech M. Cob le!
said France ought not to forget the lesson
of the war. A blind policy had
led her to irreparable disaster. Unless
she desired repetition of these disasters,
she must preserve her dearly won liberty
and not give herself into the hands of die
tator. A united people could again become
great without recourse to arms. In con-
clusion he expressed the pious gratitude of
the people toward the hero, and said that
the country had invincible confidence in
the future.

EDUCATION AMONG the CHINESE As a

EDUCATION AMONG the CHINESE As a
people the Chinese males are better edu-
Gated than any other race of people in the
world. Education to certain extent is
compulsory for all the Chinese males, al
though the mass cannot do much more
than read and write; still to that extent
they are all educated. It has been the
policy of the Chinese government for
hundreds of years to select number
of boys from each district and educate
them for historians aud writers. Their
work is never completed, for as long as
they live aud are able to do anything they
continue TO study and write. Every five
years they pass an examination, aud, &C.
cording to their proficiency, they are pro
noted to office or rank As a rule no
Chinese can hope to attain prominence in
any civil or military office pertaining to
the government unless be has succeeded
as scholar, for the Chinese believe no
man can succcel "a scholar unless he has
ability, and if be possesses ability, why
then, as a matter of course, he is a suit
able person to hold office; but no matter
how high the office may be, he must con
Time his studies, the duties of bis office

The Economic Value Forests.

Doubtless you have all seen, during
the last ten years, numerous refer
enceS IN newspapers, magazines, etc,
to the necessity of forest preservation.
This plea, However, even in this coun-
try, is not as novel and of as recent
date as may be imagined. As far back
as our colonial times, the fear of an
exhaustion of lumber supply alarmed
New England legislators; and as early
as 1901, the Massachusetts Society
offered its prizes for timber planting.
We may smile over the fears of those
times when railroads had not yet rev.
olutionized methods Of transportation,
bringing the whole world under con-
tribution for supplies. Yet, while
those fears were premature, they were
nevertheless prophetic, and the very
railroads which have opened up the
vast forest areas of the Northwest
have brought rapidly near to US the
possibility of time when a scarcity of
wood may be felt. For the haulage
over SO long distances of so bulky
freight. in addition to other obstacles,
allows only small amount of the tim
Der growing in those distant forests to
be protitably moved to market, and
from fifty to sixty per cent, often even
more, of the trees cut is left in the
woods &c rot or to furnish food for the
yearly CONGREGATIONS. Even now, in
the more remote lumber camps, any
part of a tree less than one foot in
diameter is considered unprofitab Bile,
and is left in the woods.
But while-as | will show farther
on-the fear of those early alarmists
is with renewed force, and upon a
more reasonable basis, again pressed
upon us. other considerations besides
a waning lumber supply compel our
attention To forest preservation. A
vague idea that some connection
existed between the forest cover and
the climatic conditions of a country
has been prevalent from olden times.
The tree is the mother of the foun-
tain," or "the father of the rain," are
significant expressions Of the sages of
old. But it was due to the represen-
tations of such eminent naturalists as
Humboldt, Boussingault and Becque-
rel, that the important and compli-
Gated part which the forests play in
the economy of nature was first clear
" recognized. And now, in the light
of recent scientific experiments and
Investigations, added to the historical
evidence of earlier times, we are
forced to consider the forests of n
country in fourfold aspect.-P. f..

A City Without Fountains.

London is fountainless city. 1t is
not for want of urging; we have be-
fore now pointed out that there " ere
hooks and corners in London which
would be almost beautified by the adj
dition of little water in an orna-
mental form. We have, of course, the
Trafalgar square squirts, but they are
only apologies for fountains. We
want something really beautiful and
refreshing to the eye, not that misera-
bic sort of thing which has given the
nickname of squirt square to the

ham. Fountains can be made per Sc

was tall, lean, lank, and seemed afraid OF
the little k'yart to which be was harnessed.
The huckster singly was not novelty,
nor the donkey, nor the wagon, but the
Combine" the trinity, from which all
sorts of comparisons could be drawn, was
q sensation which drew crowd of little
folks and servants. The little folks talked
about it at home, and so he was advertised,
and his example points moral. 1t is
this: to say q remedy will relieve, for
instance is not saying much. The heat
from the friction of the hand will some
times do that. Nor is it all to say it will

the pain may return; nor Will 1t do to

in a thousand cases permanent beyond any

that one application cured me-" These
points repeated in SO many instances are
given to clinch its superiority. AS in the
case of the huckster, it is not a single
thing that tests. 1t is not one but many
virtues that are required to subdue pain,
and this combination, by long years of
experiment, has proved itself unfailing in
efficacy and unsurpassed in merit 1t
requires no loud voice to proclaim it; it
speaks and acts for itself always true and
