"The talk about abaning the poll
cy of negro education in the South
will come to nothing. Revolutions
don't 60 backward. The talk that
the the whites pay "all the taxes is
largely imaginative The negro rem
ters pay millions Of taxes indirectly,
and the negro wage earners who buy
taxed merchandise pay still other
millions in the same way. All pros
ducers are taxpayers, and labor is the
fountain from which all production
rises. The negro pays his full share,
though he hands little over the coun
ter of the tax collector. We have a
good deal to say Of negro hostility, ;"
and there is something in this, but
the negro is not all to blame. He is
naturally docile, friendly, and his
tendencies are to quiet, not to hostil>
ity and turmoil. l. he has become
antagonistic to the whites in locali
ties and on certain issues, he has been
in measure driven into that atti
tude by persecution, and led into it
by designing politicians. In any
event, the South cannot stop the
movement Of negro education. l,

that it would be we'll to organize an

the ends set forth in the address.
From the lakes to the gulf and from
the mountains to the sea the mat er
has been discussed and rediscussed,
until as result We are in a position
to decide that some simple plan of or
ganization is necessary for the guild
ance Of those who desire to engage
in the work of organization.

The MosQuito.

To expel mosquitoes, take Of gum camphor
piece about one-third the size Of a hens
egg, and evaporate it by placing it In a tin
vessel and holding 1t o7er a lamp, taking
care that il does not ignite. The smoke viii
soon fill the room and expel the mosquitoes,
and they will not return, even though the
windows should be left open all night.
Learned the secret of successful warfare
against these pests when living in the
swamps Of Louisiana, where in summer
or winter mosquitoes swarm. For some
years life was uncomfortable, and no meal
could be eaten in peace But all at once
there was a change for the better. Bars
and screens were often out OF place, but
there was almost an immunity from in
sects. aad just changed my colored boy.
The new conner explained how he had kept
the "critters" away. He burned small
pieces Of gum camphor on the cook stove,
and used a secret preparation he called
"sudekillo." When married and came to
Missouri impaired aae secret TO my wife,
and as there is no pSent on 1t that ! know
Of. l would advise all fellow sufferers TO 20
and do likewise. The gum camphor alone
is ample for the purpose, and need only be
used two or three times week.-St. Louis

Compres,ed Air .s Motive Power.

The use of compressed air as a motive
power for tramways in France is extend
ing. The system adopted Is that invented
by NJ. Mekarski, director of the Nante
tramways, which have been open since
1879. Two years ago the system was sue
cessfully applied on the tramways at
Nogent, in the ne.ghborhood Of Paris, and
more recently on those Of Berne and
Limoges. This year it will be substituted
for horse power on the tramways of Lyons.
The inventor asserts that his system is far
more economical than horse traction-the
cost Of coal per day OF machine equal to
eight or ten-horse power being only four
shillings-much cheaper than electricity or
steam power, and that the machinery is
simple and does not require a skilled me-
chanic TO control it. The British Consul at
Nantes in q recent report states that 1.-The
tramways of that town, which are worked
by the system of NJ. Mekarsk, alluded to
above, continue to give satisfaction. The
cars are comfortable and run smoothly with
little noise. They do not interfere with the
general traffic in the streets, and their i'm
munity from accidents is remarkable. The
average speed is about eight miles per
hour; but il can easily be increased or mod
Grated, and in case Of need an almost in
stantaneous stoppage effected"

One Of the latest novelties in the appica-
ton Of electricity consists OF an electric
reading lamp, which is being fitted TO the
carriages on the main line OF the South
eastern railway. IL is on the principle OF
the put a penny la the slot" automatic
machines. The apparatus is situated I'M
mediateiy over the passengers head, aud
under the rack, and is contained IN small
box FIVE inches by three The light is OF i've
candle power, and is obtained by the intro
duction Of penny a. the top of the box,
and by subsequent pressure Of knob,
and will last for half an hour, extinguish-
ing itself at the end Of that time automat-
ically. II the light be required for an in
definite period, penny every half an hour
will suiNice. The light can be extlnguished
at any moment by means Of a second but
ton provided for the purpose. One Of the
special features OF the invention Is that, II
the instrument is out OF order, the penny is
rot lost as it is in the present machines. 1t
drops right through, and comes out at the
bottom Of the box, SO that it can be recov-
cred, and the same result happens in the
case Of any coin other than penny Each
carriage is fitted with an accumulation
which supplies the electricity. This inyen-
tion, so Nature says, will add greatly to
the comfort Of passengers during night
