O The farmer who cultivates his own
farm with his own hands is land
owner, it is true, but he is in greater
degree laborer, and in ownership Of
stock, improvements, tools, etc, a
capitalist. 1t is from his labor, aided
by his capital, rather than from any
advantage represented by the value of
his land, that he derives his living.
His main interest is that Of a producer,
not that of landowner.

STRAWS THAT SHOW THE WIND.

of the Knights of Labor, at the meeting
just closed at Atlanta, regarding the
land question, is an important one,
more especially at this time since the
strength of the order now lies in the
country and small towns. A
few years ago the Knights would not
have dared to put such plank in their
platform, and it's adoption now proves
that the workingman has begun to study
political economy and the science Of
government.-Detroit Sunday Sun.
The single tax men appear to be quite
active in this city. Where a multi
plicity of taxes is the rule the single

Morning Telegraph.
This action shows that the Knights Of
Labor have at last struck the tap root of
industrial disease, and it may fairly be
regarded as the most important step
ever taken by that body. The leaven
of the single tax idea has for years been
slowly working among the Knights
throughout the country.-Clereland
american Union.
In this State one OF the greatest issues
is the removal of the unjust and op-
pressive burdens of taxation now borne
by the farming interests. As a proposed
remedy for this great evil, the single
tax theory is worthy of the careful at
tention Of the thinking men OF the
State.-Schuyierrille, (N ~ Standard.

The State Of Arkansas makes an hon
est effort to tax equally everything of
value within her borders, the tax rate
being for general State purposes, mills
on the dollar, a like sum being levied for
common school purposes, and 21 mills
raised by officers fees, sale and redemp-
ton of lands, licenses, taxes and fees
from insurance companies, lease of the
penitentiory, etc. This makes a State
tax OF about SO cents on the 500 worth

that the taxes required for county pur-

Fiddlin1 for the Census.

The following is an extract from a
letter received from the Washington
Star from special agent of the United
States census, detailed to get data for
the fish ana fisheries OF South Carolina:
Il must tell you how l worked B..
l got there late Oh Friday evening, and
found everybody mum as an oyster. /
was in despair until at last l heard a
man playing fiddle in one of the
stores. | went in at once, and after
loating around for awhile asked to see
the fiddle. When l got it l drew the
bow over the strings, said it was a
good one and handed it back; but they
saw could play, and insisted should
try, SO took off my coat and sailed
in. From that moment my stock went
up. In an hour had half the folks in
town in the store, the proprietor was
doing a rushing business, and so was
l. l finally put down the fiddle and
addressed the crowd, told them my
business. and said that though l was
willing TO play for them must attend
to my work first and invited all who
were engaged in fishing 10 walk up and
sign the pledge. Nothing was too good
for me- They wanted to fill me up on
beer, and had more cigars than I
could smoke. They refused to let me
set 'em up Il single time, and when 1
wanted to leave town they begged me
to stay, or, if would go, to come back
and locate. They hunted up all the
men wanted and brought them to me
in a buggy. l was treated like a
prince. One poor devil (colored) re-
fused to answer my questions, and one
of my enthusiastic assistants cracked
him on the head with a beer bottle, so
that he had to be carried from the
field In a disabled condition. -'' 7

Care of the Eyes.

1t is a point of the first importance tina,
any weakness, defect, or uneasiness Of
the eyes should not be neglected, but
that the oculist should be at once con-
suited. Headaches which come on after
sewing, reading, watching play, or
otherwise using the visual organs in a
special direction for a period Of time
are usually the direct results of ocular
defects. Neuralgia. dizziness, mental
depression, melancholia, st. Vitus's dance,
and even epilepsy have been shown to be
directly dependent in certain cases upon
retroactive errors for their causation. Out
of nine cases Of epilepsy in which there
were optical defects, recently expert
mented upon, four cases were positively
cured by correction of the defects. Two

possible, as some believe, to endow
mesmerized subject with attributes
foreign to him; but it is demonstra-
BILE fact that person will perform any
act partaking of the nature of an ac-
complishment much better when in a
mesmeric state. For example: 4
speaker, nervous and stammering in
the normal state, could be made TO
speak fluently while entrauced; a
singer would sing his very best, and u
pianist transcend himself. if put to
perform under mesmeric control. This
may be explained by the removal of
distracting influences and the depriva-
tiop OF volition which impels them to
act as required by the mesmerizer.
When the person is under control as
above mentioned, he is only in what is
known as a psychological condition.
mesmerism or hypnotism being an ad-
vanced stage of it. In this the subject
is easily operated upon and cannot re-
frain from doing what ne is told to do,
as he is in that passive condition
where his mind is controlled by what
seems to him moro powerful one, and
he feels an impulse to obey it which
he cannot withstand.

Sanitation and CuriOsitiea.

II found England far more active than
America on many business matters"
said Mr.. NJ. B. Church, of Grand Rapids,
Mich. "My business led me to look up
certain matters of sanitary nature, and
I discovered 10 my surprise that in them
England was far ahead of us. For
instance, it is against the law to paper a
room without first removing the old
paper and cleansing the walls. Over
here it is the usual way to paste coat
after coat of paper Just think of the
decaying vegetable and animal matter
in the paste and glue with which room
is coated, and the absorbing power of
the paper itself, and you will not
wonder at the hold of contagious dis
eases. The only sanitary wall is bare
wall, and I am going to have the mat
ter presented to several State le sislatures
this fall" Mr. Church produced two
curiosities. One was an English copper
twopence of 1903. 1t was larger and
heavier than silver dollar. "Not
many Of these are now in existence"
said he. "They are called striking
pieces, and are used by country people
at the fairs to strike bargains, by Pc
culiar custom. Here Is another curl
osity," he continued, producing stick
two feet inlength, and curiously notched
and split. "There are seven notches,
said he "This is certificate of deposit
issued by the Bank of England over 100
years ago. A stick was taken, notched,
and split. One piece was given to the
depositor, who had to produce 1t and
notch the other piece to get his money.
1t defied forgery and fraud. This stick
represented a deposit of $1,000. It and
the striking piece were given me by an
officer Of the Bank of England. y" 5

The evening for her bath of dew

And buttoned it with stars.
