The Student of Door Plates Is Courteous
to Man of His Own Name.
Good evening, sir" said man
with white porcelain buttons On his

straw hat with both hands. He was
coming down the front steps of a Madi-

said the other as he sniffed the air still
more suspiciously and went up two
steps higher.
'Prob'ly no near relation at least,
sir. My own family is of English de-

A lovely flower called the rice lily
grows thickly in parts Of southwestern
Georgia. It is extremely sensitive to
the light. Tho blossoms fold up al
night, but open in the morning. AT

covering and the flowers are asleep, II q
lamp is placed near them they will
gradually open and turn towards It.

w. D. Garrison, of the association,
says that in one year before it was
formed the proprietors of the Astor
house had to pay for fourteen gold
watches stolen from guests, and he
himself at the Grand Union had to pay
for seven gold watches. But since the
organization of the hotel men they
have not suffered any raids from sneak
thieves, and Mr.. Garrison did not
since have to pay for a single gold
watch. New York Tribune.

The one sovereign remedy for the
ills of life is work-work from neces-
sity, or work from choice. The man
or woman compelled to work every
day, either with hands or head, es-
capes many of the morbid worries and
anxieties that beset the man or woman
left free to follow out morbid musings
on the vanity Of human affairs, or
melancholy analysis OF physical all
ments which are often the result OF
lack of constant or definite occupation.
No greater misfortune can befall
either man or wouan than to be born
into this world without the pressing
force of work, pushing him on to
steady endeayor. or.-Detroit Free Press.

A comDositor,s Feat.

James Leonard, president of the New
Orleans Typographical union, is typo
in The Times-Democrat Office. On
Friday, July 5, Mr.. Leonard began his
weeks work. He was offered no special
opportunities to make a great record
(or, in typographical parlance, a ''big
string'9 by setting up easy matter
(''fat takes" as the printer puts it,, but
worked on the regular ''file," which
contains the general run of matter that
appears in The Times-Democrat's col
umns. The type used in the Office is
BREWER, agate and nonpareil, the latter
largely predominating. The agate
measures 80 ems to line, the nonpa-
reil 25. Mr.. Leonard worked seven
and half hours day for seven con
secutive days, and on Thursday night
last, when he cast up his string" it
was disclosed that he had set up just
102, 800 ems, an average of Ia, 6S5 ems
a day, Or 1, GAL ems an hour. And he
made few errors; his proof" was
good. In doing this feat Mr. Leonard
set POS, 900 letters and returned the
same to their boxes. The distance
travelled by his arm was about 1875
miles. This record is the best made in
New Orleans since the war. Mr.
Leonard was born in Keokuk in 1858.

Savage Ideas of whites.

II is not easy for us to comprehend
the feeling with which savages FIRST
look upon the wonders of civilization.
It is not until the awe with which the
white man is at first regarded has worn
off by familiarity that the savage is in
a frame Of mind TO realize and admit
what his thoughts have been. The
author of Coral Lands" was able to
get at the sentiments of tho Polyne
slams, and he reports them as follows:
A roko told me that at one time the
Fijians considered the whites gods or
immortals, but since" he added. I'VE
know you do die and go there" point.
ing to the I.evukan cemetery - NOW
we know you are men like ourselves.
Like the aboriginal races of other
countries, they flrst deemed all white
civilization, arts and sciences were the
result of enchantment, and a stagger-
ing blow TO their self confidence was
the appearance in Levuka harbor of q
steamer which entered without a
stitch OF canvas set. or any smoke or
steam escaping.
A steamship is TO them a fire
ship;" but their wonder as TO the do
ings of the white men has almost en-.
tirely ceased. As q Taviuni friend
once remarked TO me, ''If you were to
cut off your head and carry it under
your arm tho length of Levuka beach,
and then fix 1t on again, you would
hardly astonish the Fijians. ."-Youth's

The, Modern Waste of Health.

Our elaborate code of bylaws for
the suppression of holiday recrea-
tions can still be circumvented by the
resources of cpulence, and the well
known hopelessness of any other ex-
pedient has stimulated q race for
wealth which does not hesitate to at
tain its object at any risk of social or
sanitary consequences. The number
of infants which the superstition OF
the Ammonites sacrificed to Moloch is
a mere trifie compared with the mul-
titude of children now devoted to a far
more cruel fate by being literally
drudged to death in crowded factories
to enable millionaire to save few
dimes on his weekly pay roll and add
O few per- cent. to the exorbitant rate
of his yearly profits.
In times of general scarcity the mar
ket has been drained of its scant sup
plies by spectators trying to coin gain
from the distress of their fellow men
and risking, after all, to be foiled by
the decay of their boarded stores OF
their destruction by fire or flood.
Ouack nostrums, which not one intel
ligent man in hundred would pri-
vately hesitate to pronounce infinitely
worse than worthless, are sold by ship
loads and car loads TO disseminate dis
ease and the seeds of the stimulani
vice, and the saints who contribute
thousands to insure the theological
soundness of the Quaggalla Hottentots
do not care enough for the physical
health of their own countrymen tc

of the Infamous traffic. F. l.. Oswald

GEORGE WHITES TARIFF TALK.
The Single Tax Club Listens to an Able
Historical Address.

The Single Tax Club Listens to an Able
Historical Address.
A large audience gathered yesterday in
Salter's Woodbine Grove at the meeting
of the Single Tax Club Of Jersey City.
This is the more surprising as the meeting
had been but little advertised, and on the
previous Sunday the club was disap-
pointed by the non-appearance of the
speaker for the day.
William B. Du Bois presided and intro
duced George White, president of the
Sinrle Tax Club, of Brooklyn, who spoke
for an hour on John G. Calhoun and the
tariff.
Mr.. White delivered an able, scholarly
address, which, despite the fact that it
was mainly historical, was listened to
with close attention.
"All that is necessary to set this whole
tariff question at rest is for Congress to
establish what might be called a Swap
ming Station--a place where goods and
materials can be freely imported and held
until sWapped over counter or through
q gateway for American goods and ma
terials. Jersey City would be first rate
place for such a station, the conditions of
trade to be purely barter.
at would be an object lesson that would
open the eyes of honest protectionists.
Such change would take place that the
neople would say that they always did
believe the ideas of Henry George about
taxing land values had considerable truth
in them.

WILL THE TEXAS FLOAT2
There Are Rumors of Coming Court Mar
tials In This Matter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 20, 1889. =
Naval officers are predicting that there is
trouble ahead, probably court martial,
for those who are responsible for the ac-
ceptance of the faulty design and the con-
struction of the battleship Texas, so far
as it has already progressed.
They have no doubt but that the final
outcome of the investigation by asBoard
recently appointed by Secretary Tracy to
examine the designs, will result in the
stopping of all work on the Texas, and
that the vessel will never be finished.
Secretary Tracy comes in for some criti-
cism, also, from navy officers for having
appointed Naval Constructor Bowles as a
member of this Board, to determine
whether the Texas will float or not if
finished according to the present design,
which Constructor Bowles has all along
endorsed, and whether work on the yes
sci should continue or not.
They say he is made juror to try his
own case. The Board, consisting of Naval
Constructors Gatewood and Bowles and
Assistant Naval Constructor Taylor, viii
begin their investigation at the depart
