Professor Henry Drummond, whose
Natural Law in the Spiritual World'
made so much stir in the world, is de-
scribed to be ''tall, slim, fair young
man, with trim 12rstache ard well
Citing frock coat, and resembling al

tu-er at a university" IL seems to lie
surprising to many that lie should not be
elderly, specialized, shabby and cranky,
but the reasonable mind will admit that
the present is just the era to expect sound
judgment and profound thought from
young men. In other ages young men
gave their youth to folly exclusively, and
were not in state Of health at the age
of 80 to see clearly or moralize effect
lively. Seventy years or SO gave a man
authority as philosopher, but the
modern system Of college athletics keeps
a mans physical health strong while his
mind develops, so that, unless our COL
legians are wilfully vicious, the coming
century should produce finer set Of
minds and bodies than did ancient

Hrief Charter on HeIiSlies.

The rc.iShes are of two classes. First,
those which depend mainly on one ~
more piquant substances, such as pepper
mustard, ginger, Eorseradish, vinegar,
cinnamon and the various spices. These
arc combined with some one or more
generally with scvcral-of the following
vegetables as a base: tomatoes, usually
green; onions, cabbage, cucumbers, pears,
peaches, currants, berries, grapes.
Secondly, those which depend mainly
on sugar, combined with the juices OF
various fruits, or with the pulp, as in
tie case of marmaladc.
Now the question arises, are these and
similar relishes~ conducive to health?
A normal, vigorous appetite needs no
such aid. 1t is sufficient of itself. The
lower animals need nothing OF the kind
The cows green grass, the horse S dry
hay, and the dogs bone with little
meat on it, are doubtless eaten with a
relish that our pampered stomachs know
little of.
Unfortunately, all people have not
high health. Some are in feeble con-
dition, with little or no appetite, and yet
their recovery depends mainly on the
food they take. In such cases some sir2-
pie relish is not merely greatly desirable,
it is necessary.
Many persons, in this driving age,
come to their meals with little appetite,
A sensible appetite quickens and increases
the gastric secretions. In such cases,
therefore, some Hquant relish is really
helpful. Probably even the strongest is
not injurious, if used with moderationi
but relishes are greatly pernicious if used
to encourage overeating, or to cause one
to eat when the stomach is already ex.
hausted from previous repletion.-

The secret of good talkinS/is to have

and be ready to listen. The best talker

The following sensible article which

Is equally, ifnot more applicable to

4 Ynzoo:
Cannot something be done between
I the end of this cotton season and the
next to add to the population and
prosperity of Yazoo City? Every one
now sees that the town has constant
ly improved for several years. The
many new dwelling houses built in
that time, the increase in cotton bus
iness, the gradual centralization of the
trade of the county in Yazoo City has
made It apparent to all that the town
mas bright future. The increase in
cotton receipts for this season will be
more than fourteen thousand bales
over last, and the benefit to the busi-
ness Is even greater, as almost twice
as much cotton, in propotion. was
bought in iauoo City, than was last
year. \ gentleman well informed
on the subject tells US he knows Of
i've thousand more bales that are
promised to Nuzoo City from planters,
who this season sent their cotton
Elsewhere; with the same crop we
can count certainly on ten thousand
more bales. But why should our
capitalists be satisfied with this ? be-
cause we are doing well why not
make the effort to do better? Fac
tories do not show up as they should.
The oil mill, the grist mill, the foun-
dry, the corn and cotton planter, the
Ice factory, the saw mill, all add to
the town and keep up number OF
our people, who in turn assist In sup.
porting the butcher, the baker, The
grocer and the dry goods merchant.
But that Is not near enough. Why
capont a sash door and blind factory
be started? Why not spoke and
axe handle factory? In fact there
are ever so many industries that
could lac introduced Yazoo City we
know has only small fraction of the
money needed for it's development
Two million dollars more added could |
oe prniiidbly used. But We have II
good deal Of home capital that would |
be well laid out in starting small !
factories. Those who are interested |
IN real estate would hnd the price |
much greater and their rents much |
better by assisting in bringing new
people, and nothing would do this
quicker than the establishment Of
factories. Will not some of our en-
ergetic people take hold of this?
What is neened is a man to start the
ball Let some one go around with
= feasible plan aud see how much
stock would be taken, get the proper
nen 10 take charge and money would
be put up. Cities have been built
with not a fraction OF the natural
advantages of Yazoo City. Push and
did it, and the same agen
lies eau bulid us M one Of the most
Cities in the South. We
ire sure to do well but we ought
