THE GRIPPE AND THE DOCTORS,

Give US rest, says the Medical Record.
Now that the epidemic of influenza is
over, we trust that the poor tired doctors
will have rest. It is really too bad to
learn that ''our doctor made one hundred
and forty visits yesterday, also tour doc
tor is very busy, and had not slept for
fourteen nights" Too busy by far. How
do our patients find out all this? But se-
riously, if the grip had lasted much Ion
ger, it might have killed off all our best
men. We hope this good man who owes
himself fourteen nights sleep will soon
catch up. that the poor man who ''has
not had his clothes off for week" has
bad bath, and that the one hundred and
forty daily patients of the other unfortu-
nate overworked man are still alive to
appreciate his Eerculean labors. Take
care, doctorl Either pillar of salt or
I'D obituary is in waiting.

THE LONGSE VITY OF BIRDS,

The swan is the longest-lived bird,
and it is asserted that it has reached
the age Of 100 years. Knader, in his
work entitled "Naturhistorilzer,' .
states that he has seen falcon that
was 1862 years cid. The following
examples are cited as to the ongevity
of the eagle and vulture: "a sea ca
gle captured in Ills, and already sew
eral years Of age, died 1O4 years af-
terward, in 1919; white-haired vul-
ture, captured in 1905, died in 1926,
IN one OF the aviaries Of Schoenbrunn
Castle, near Vienna, where it had
passed 115'years in captivity. Paro-
quets and ravens reach the age Of over
100 years. The life Of sea and marsh
birds sometimes equals that of several
human generations. Like many 9th
er birds, magpies live to be very old
in state Of freedom, but do not reach
over 20 or % years in captivity. The
nightingale lives but 10 years in cap
tivity and the blackbird 10. Canary
birds reach an age of from II to Is
in a cage, but those flying at liberty
in their native island reach a much
more advanced age.-Louisiana Re

SILK WORMS AND RAMiE.

Z discovery has been made by q
lady in Cc!um5ia, $. O., that may
have flarze,. effect upon two great
Industries. For number Of seasons
this lady has amused herself by feed
ing silk worms and sending q few
pounds Of cocoons to the NVomen's So
eiety for the encouragement Of the
silk industry in Philadelphia. The
extraordinary warmth OF this winter
caused the eggs to hatch far in ad-
vance OF the season, and as the young
leaves Of the mulberry and the Usage
orange had not put forth, our amateur
vas at loss what to do. An account
adds:
Seeing that the foliage of the ramio
in a neighboring field was putting out
she gathered some and pat the worms
upon it. They fed ravenously, and
she kept up the supply until the Usage
orange leaves appeared. Then she
divided her worms equally, feeding
one set with ramie, the other with
Usage orange. she kept the cocoons
separate and sent them to Phiiaacl-
phia. The experts there were aston
ished at the size Of those spun by the
ramie eaters, and wrote to the lady to
know what she had done to secure
them. They were not only larger,
but the silk was finer.
Il further experiments should prove
that ramie leaves can be depended
upon for silk worms food, then q
great impetus will be given to the
production Of this valuable article in
the South, while it will add to the
profits of those who raise that plant
for its fibre.

Vast Fortunes 2il;ng Up, But the :'eo-
pie are Not Prosperous.

| Once more the Astor millions have de
scended from father to son. Through
the hands OF two John Jacobs and one
William they have now reached Il second
William. At each stage their growth has
been marvellous
Succession to the Astor millions is a
solemn thing To inherit them is much
like falling heir to the law of gravitation.
Their centripetal force is irresistible.
The original John Jacob scraped together
$50, 600, goo William, the great grandson,
inherits $500, COO, coo. To what enormous
proportions may not that great fortune
grow as the generations of Astors follow
one another, leaving it to work out it's
destiny
There are many colossal fortunes in
this nation and many more are building.
That of the Astors is surpassed by few or
none. The Astors are welcome to it.
But IN such vast acCumulations OF money
there is danger They are piling up in
i
lumber, taxed iron and steel, RAILWAYS,
trusts, speculation in lands-on these and
similar foundations great fortunes are
being constructed with startling GapiG1ity
Yet the majority Of the people are not
prosperous The farmers do not thrive.
Satisfactory wages III the cities are Offset
by the high cost Of living. 4 more euuit-
able system Of taxation, the abolition of
all unnecessary taxes, the utilization By
the people FOR their own benefit of public
rights and the denial to individuals of
public grants-these reforms would re-
lieve the pressure which has become in
tolcrable on the shoulders of the many
and would check the growth of great for
tunes in the deft hands Of the few.
The Astors, the Vanderbilts, the Goulds |
and the Rockefellers have done very well |
under the present arrangement Now it |
IS quite time for the people to have their
inning.

THE RACE PROBLEM.

| IN his speech at the banquet Of the At
lanta GA Chamber Of Commerce recent
! ", Governor John 3. Gordon made the
following reference to the race problem:
Seriously, gentlemen, we earnestly in
vlte you to make your o%n personal,
careful inspection Of this section, and Of
its people. We think you will find a
country OF marvellous possibilities, and a
people who, il it be true in politics rs in
religion that the highest good comes
through the greatest tribulaton, ought
by this time to be entirely sublmated.
We are not weak enough, however to
claim exemption from the frailties that
belong alike to all human society; but we
are honest enough to court and challenge
investigation into our social system and
political methods, and strong enough. VIC
think, to successfully defend them before
any impartial tribunal in Chrigtendom.
we would have YOU study through
observation, rather than through polite
al organs and orators. the relations that
subsist between the races, and the nature
and strength of the ties that bind them
together. Its not my purpose to discuss
this subject; but speaking for myself,
wish to say in ali sincerity that | utterly
dissent from the doctrine that there is at
the South an impending, necessary, ire
pressible conflict. utterly dissent from
the opinion that forcible deportation Of
the c0sored race is either necessary, hui
name or polite. ! hold tie opinion,
grounded in reason, and growing strong
er through daily observation, that public
agitation has already worked incalculabIe
evil by creating suspicion, begetting dis
trust, engendering alienation and encour-
aging strife.
For quarter of a century, over OBJ
stacles countless IN number and measure
less in perpleHity, the South has borne her
unprecedented burdens; handling this
race problem in It's most delicate and try
ing stages; walking with it amidst the
snarcs and pitfalls and volcanic threaten
ings of reconstruction, and yet through it
all pushing toward a final, peaceful and
righteous solution, while both races grow
stronger, richer and happier with the
passing decades. Let her alone; let agi-
tation cease; let the thoughtful, conserva-
tive and well meaning clements of both
races deal with the question without
party irtermeddling or Federal intelven-
ton, and they viii solve it; solve it I
wisely. Solve it according to Heaven g
Irresistible laws, with justice to all, Sc
carity to society, the advancement of
civilization and the highest interests Of
the republic. y

A QUEER MOUND.

Lieutenant Leath was another man
with remarkable experience. He was
leading his men into battle, when he re-
ceived the order to charge. The noise Of
the guns and the shrieks of wounded
made it necessary for him to give his or
ders at the top of his voice. He had his
mouth wide open, calling out the word
charge, when the silver from shell
struck him in the cheek. 1t passed
through his mouth without touching a
single tooth and came out through the
other check leaving on each side of his
head cash as clean as if cut by razor.
The wound became infamed, and Leath.
who was at the time near his home, was
given leave of absence for two or three
days. Whe he rode up to his mothers
house, his head was tied up with ban
dages.
Tie old lady rushed out when she saw
him coming and cried: ssOh, nv son.
where are you Wounded?''
Right through the head" was the
reply.
His mother, thinking the wound must
be fatal, sent for doctor without wait
ing for explanations. When the medical
man arrived he found Leath sitting at the
dinner table eating hearty meal.

THE FARMER A SKILLED LA
BORER.

Viewed from the lofty standpoint
|of New York Hoacarrier's Union,
considered from the Hall of the Phi
ladelphia Billposter's Protective Asso-
citation, the prairie farmer is simply a
clodhopper. He is man who decides
to have corn, wheat, and potatoes,
instead Of wild grass, grow on GER
tain peice of land, and plants the seeds
that will produce them. In point of
fact, more knowledge and skill are
requisite for prosecuting his craft
than that of any city artisan. It re-
quire more skill to handle plow than
a trowel. It is more difficult to man
age reaping machine than machine
that turns out brick. Greater knowl-
edge is needed to SOW grain than to
move switches iii freight yard.
Much more information, experience,
and skill are needed to raise tobacco
plants, to cultivate them, and proper.
ly to cure leaves, than to make them
into cigars. Laying drain tile is a
more difficult art than laying brick.
Properly to remove fleece from a
sheep demand as much dexterity as to-
shave the beard from the face. The
successful farmer is necessarily a skill
ed laborer. He is master, not of one
trade, but of many, and long time is
required to learn each of them. He
is also a merchant, and to be prosper
Gus he must be a judge of the quail
ty Of many things, and know how to
buy and sell them to the best advan-
Welsh, IN the F'orata.

THE LOUISIANA CENTRAL

Reports regarding the possible ex-
tension Of the Louisiana Central to
Lafayette, 81 miles distant, are again
i'll circulation. Among the latest il
ore to the effect that the Illinois Cen.
trail Railroad will build branch from
the main line of its road to Baton
Rouge, and that that company viii
purchase the Louisiana Central, ex-
tending the line to Lafayette, and us
ing it and the road to Baton Rouge as
feeders to the main line of the Illinois
Central, which passes some fifty odd
miles east of Baton Rouge. The ex-
tension Of Louisiana Central as above
outlined would prove a magnificent
feeder to the /. G. and be of inesti-,
mable benefit to Baton Rouge and
Port Allen. We therefore sincerely.
trust that there is something in the
report, and believe that our people,
realizing how much they have at
stake in the matter, would lend
ready hand in aid of such a project

AMERICAN GIRLS AND FOR
EIGN TITLES.

Livery woman loves title. If she
did not she would not call herself
"Mrs. Colonel" or "Mrs. Captain" as
she so often does, much to the disgust
Of 'tMr. Captain" or ''Mr. Colonel"
who is powerless. AS Lords and
Dukes are not to be found in Ameri-
ca, the ambitious American girl hunts
them down in their native lands, and
with fair, round, shining dollars buys
the title and accepts as she would a
chrome the man who accompanies it.
And the result? Almost universally,
misery. Educated to think of women
lightly, to regard marriage as a social
duty, and understanding exactly the
motive which prompted the American
girl to marry him, the husband shows
himself i'll his true colors, sel6shness
being the most glaring. But can you
blame him? And what can you think
Of she who sells herself that butler
and maid may address her as "My
Lady ?" The best husband for the
American girl is the man who is lord
IN his own country and over her heart.
The man who believes in the goodness
and purity Of women; who has been
educated to care for them, and to re-
gard them as beings too bright and
good to be spoken Of lightly or irrev-
erently. She who marries such man
makes her home in land the customs
of which she understands; her chill
dren are brought up in her own reli-
gion, and are not subjects for contro-
yersy and quarrels, The husband cares
for his own household, and there is not
a constant discussion about money,
nor q feeling that life is not worth
living when so much worry'only gains
for the girl the privilege Of a coronet
on her note paper and presentation
at court. The American wife, in her
manner of living, Of speaking, and
even Of moving and having her own
being, offends both the English and :
French women, and after all is said
there is no doubt that they do form
great social power, can ostracise the
woman who displeases them and make
her unhappy and her husband asham-
ed. This ought not to be-, but it is. 4
As a digni6ed English countess once
said when a pretty American girl had
married a younger son Of an old fam
lily, eve must put this down-why,
they will soon be marrying the peer
age!" Well, they have done it-but
at a cost that is degrading. The
American girl has lowered herself,
made her greed for a title by-word,
and her willingness to buy it a jest.
1t is now time to stop. Marry the man
Of your own land-the man who has
loved you from your youth up, the
one who will make you a happy wo-
man, which is after all more than can
be given by title or found at the feet
OF the queen as you are presented.
