VALposTA,s UpWARp BOOM.
The Melon-GrowinG Town Of Georgia
a Lively Place.

The Melon-GrowinR Town of Georgia,
a Lively Place.
Capt. A. A. VIM, who has returned
from flying visit to Valdosta, was highly
pleased with the rapid growth Of the place
He says that it is a go-ahead city. 1t is the
county seat of Lowndes county, 157 miles
from Savannah, on the line of the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway, and has
latterly been the center Of attraction along
the line CT the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida railroad, recently built from Macon
to Florida. Capt. VIM says that
Valdostans claim that the next census
will show a population Of 1000, and,
judging from bis own observation, be does
not think they will miss it very far. While
it is one of the wet towns of Georgia. the
people are sober, energetic and thrifty, be-
hind none in education, as they are cultured,
very hospitable to strangers, and excep-
tionally progressive in all enterprises which
help their town. Their handsome institute.
with full corps of teachers and near 300
pupils, IS an evidence of the progressiveness
of its people.
The melon trade has been large, and will
increase as the country develops, which.
her wide-awake people, who are ALWAYS
forging ahead Many of the business
houses and sagacious business men of the
place will compare favorably with those of
much larger cities. Among the improve
ments said TO be contemplated in the near
future is the erection of a new and hand
some city hall, for the accommodation of
its officers and the increased business of the
town.

Another Rescue From Death.

In 1881. while sewing on a machine, my
wife was taken with severe pain in her
side, which was soon followed by hemor-
rhages from her lungs, severe cough, fever,
and she could neither eat nor sleep, and in
few weeks she was reduced to a living
skeleton. Her stomach refused to retain
any food, and the physician thought one OF
her lungs was entirely gone At a final
consultation of two physicians, her case
was pronounced hopeless. l tried Brewers
Lung Restorer by advice Of one of the ply
slcians, and she began to improve after the
third dose. She continued the medicine
and Is now in excellent health, and is better
than she has been in several years. l te-
lieve Brewers Lung Restorer saved her

Strange Beliefs Held by Different Ma
 tIons-The Evil Eye.

Shortly after his election Plus K, who was then adOred by the Romans and per- haps the best loved man in Italy. was driving through the streets when he happened to glance upward at an open window at which a nurse was standing with child. few minutes afterward the nurse let the child drop and it was killed. No one thought the pope had wished this, but the fancy that he had the evil eye became universal and lasted till his death. In Carniola if you tell a mother that her baby is strong and large forits age, farmer that his crops | are looking well, or coachman that his team is good, all three will spit at your feet to avert the omen, and, if you un- derstand the custom, you will do the same as an act of politeness.
 person who wandered through upper Carniola and praised everything he saw | would soon come to be considered the most malevolent of men. In Naples ex- actly the same feeling exists. The terms of endearment which mothers of the lower class use to their children, and the pet names they call them by, are often so indecent that 1t would be impossible to reproduce them in English, and always so contemptuous that they would be of- fensive in any other relation.
 The well-known habit of Neopolitans to offer a guest anything that he may praise has probably the same origin. It is, of course, now to very large extent, only a form of courtesy but even now another feeling turks behind, at least in delighted by your admiration of his pos- sessions he would have been disap- pointed if 1t had not been so warmly expressed as it was; but still he is a little afraid of the i'll luck the kind things you have said may bring. By offering the objects you have liked best to you, and receiving your certain refusal to accept them, he puts them in a bad light, and thus counter acts the evil effects of your praises. He says to fate: You see their value is not great after all This superstition, how ! ever, Is by no means confined to Naples or Italy; it Is said to be common in | China and Japan and among negroes and red Indians. Even in England it is not unknown. In fact in all countries, when visiting sick acquaintance, it Is better to say, "I am glad to hear you are a lit tie better today" than II am glad to see you looking so much better" Nor is the belief by any means confined to the | lower classes.
 A person who is highly educated, very | intelligent, and by no means prejudiced l in religious matters, was once asked whether tho words acted as an evil charm or whether they merely foretold evil.
 The reply was, II don't know; but do
 know from experience that whenever anybody tells me I am looking we'll I fall i'll within three days; and the more inti- mate l am with the person that says 1t the worse the illness is." There may be a connection between this superstition l and that of the evil eye-we are inclined to think there is-but they must not be confounded, as one Is often in dis tricts where the other Is unknown.-The Saturday Review.

)r. Duncan Did Not Have Yellow Fever
 After All.
HE IS RECOVERING.
pr. B0gert, for Whom . Warrant was Issued for Refusing 10 Report the Case at Once, will Sue Brooklyn-A Wedding Postponed.

BROOKLYN, June 22.-The quarantine on Captain Thompson's residence, 173 Hancock street, where Surgeon Duncan of the steamship Colin had been nursed until removed to Swinburne Island, sup posed to be suffering from yellow fever, by the health authorities, has been raised.
 number of brother physicians waited on Dr. Bogert, who was an enforced in- mate of the premises. and framed in writ Ing their protest of his treatment by the health board.
 When reporter called on Dr. Bogert, he was quietly awaiting the service of the warrant for his arrest which has been in the hands of an officer since Wednes- day, but he did not seem to be at all dis turbed.
 1T am ready to be arrested" he said, "but don't think the health officers will care to pursue this case any further. They see now that was right in saying that Dr. Duncan was not suffering from yellow fever. My brother physicians have taken steps to have thorough in- vestigation of the conduct of the health officials made.
 ''They simply jumped at the conclu- sion that 1t was a yellow fever case, but, strange to say, not one of them made an examination of the patient. Dr. Con- very felt his pulse and looked at his
  Drs. Jewett and Baker said the same thing without any examination. I know that Dr. Duncan's case was not one of yellow fever. for he had the yellow fever before down on the Isthmus. "He is skillful doctor himself, and he all along said it was simply bilious intermittent fever. If he had the slight est idea that he had yellow fever would he have permitted Miss Thompson the charming young lady who will soon be his wife, to nurse him while at her fath- CTS house?"
 "Have you taken any legal advice as to proceedings against the city?" "Yes, I have consulted counsel and shall proceed against the city for dam ages. had intended to start for Mon treal today, where was to be married tomorrow. I have had to postpone the trip and set back my wedding day. for all my brother physicians insist that the legal powers and authority of the health and their right to arbitrarily imprison physicians engaged in the practice of their profession, must be settled in the courts"
 Dr. Bogert said he had enjoyed his en- forced stay in the family of Captain Thompson, and that with the Misses Thompson, Mrs. Thompson and a Miss Barker, who is on visit from England, they had no trouble in pleasantly passing the time.
 Health Officer Smith telegraphed to Dr. Cyrus Edson, chief inspector of con- tagious diseases from quarantine, that he had thoroughly examined the patient at Swinburne Island, and felt satisfied the patient, Surgeon William H. Duncan, was suffering from remittent fever. Tho latter is in fair way toward recovery.

Venus and Our Earth.

While watching the graceful windings of the planet we naturally inquire as to its real condition, says a writer in Cham ber's Journal. Readers are familiar with the idea that it is a world like our own earth, travelling in a smaller but other wise almost similar orbit around the sun. On more minute inquiry we find that the likeness between it and our earth is in Some points very great-greater, in fact, than in the case of any other planet. In the fundamental element of size they arc almost alike, our earth being 2 300 miles in diameter and Venus 2, 7,50O.
 The force of gravity on the surface of the latter is very nearly nine-tenths of what it Is with us. Its density is almost the same fraction of that of the earth. These facts show that if transported to the surface of Venus we should feel more at home, so far as some essential features of experience are concerned, than on any other planet known to us. We should weigh, just about niRe-tenths of our pres ent weight, and should find distances bearing much the same ratio to our mus cular power of walking that they do in this world while in all probability the sur- face rocks and earth, if such be formed there, would be compacted and con- structed like those we sec around us. This would not be the case on planets so much smaller than the earth, as Mercury or Mars, or so much larger, as Jupiter, Saturn or Neptune.
 Again, the year on Venus would be 225 days in length, good deal more like what we have on the earth, than is the case on any other planet. In the length of the day we should find 0 still more homelike experience, as the difference would be imperceptible except to careful observation. Venus rotates in twenty three hours twenty-one minutes twenty seconds. and tho earth in twenty-three hours hfty-siX minutes four seconds. The day, of course depends a little on the motion of the sun in the sky, but the difference between this as seen on our earth and from Venus would not appreci- ably affect the similarity of the days in each. These likenesses to the length of our day and year and to our worlds den- sity would cause similarity, in all proba- bility, in the important matters of noun tain form and of vegetation. In fact, so ar Venus is nearly the twin sister of our world.
