them in return from the slurs of foreign
invaders OF social and domestic circles.
No compliment to ourselves should for
a moment hide or excuse the insult to
our lIege lords Such compliments are
but sugar coated poisons. Every right
minded American woman should resent
such speeches, and teach such foreigners
who come here the good breeding that
was neglected at home. The man who
insults his host in a pretended oompli-
ment to his hostess should be shown to
the door, and politely requested to make
his adieux.
If our American men are guilty of
such breeding when abroad, they deserve
severe chastisement, but 1 doubt any
American ever having so wantonly trans
crossed a law OF common politeness as /
myself witnessed done by three foreign
ers in New York this winter. l have
heard similar remarks made by foreign
visitors on previous occasions, for several
wears past, ana l have felt my anger
and disgust steadily on the increase
until it has reached boiling-over
point. l have even heard American
women quoting and accenting these re-
marks: one of these ladies had been
twice married-once to an American who
treated her with respect and Undying
affection, once to a foreigner who had
abused, misused and irretrlevablY
wronged her.
The toughest American boor would
know better, 1t seems to me, than to
make uncOmplimentaTy comments in the
host g parloT in hearing of his wife and
daughter. If this is foreign politeness
and culture, give me American boorish-
ness. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

Let Texas Cities and Towns Advertise

To the Gazette.
HOME-sEEKERs' EXCURSIONS.
The Missouri Pacific railway and Iron Noun

As will be seen by the above, the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has included Texas
in the list, and will sell -home- seekers
excursion tickets to all points in the state
on April % and May 90 at one fare for
the round trip. Now what are We going
to do about it? Would it not be we'll for
the different boards of trade, immigra-
ton associations and like organizations
throughout the state to assist in sdvertis-
ing these low rate excursions? One
hundred dollars to $500 from each town
and city would make a good fund
FOR this work. A round-trip rate is a
good thing if well worked. If this be
true, why not work it? Five thousand
dollars spent in advertising those two ex-
cursions, providing the money is spent
with the best papers of st. Louis, Kan
dianapoIis, will bring forth good re-
suits.
If this was done the railroads would
be convinced that the people appreciated
having a low rate given them,
and they (the railways would
be thereby encouraged to spend
money in advertising the excursion. Ii
we are TO take advantage of these low
rates, no time should be lost, and in
order 10 start the ball rolling, you can
put the Wichita Falls immigration as
ISOLATION down for 500 for the purpose
of advertising the excursion rates for
April and May in Northern papers.
One hundred dollars from county seat
towns of from 1000 to 1000, and $500
from cities like Fort Worth, Dallas,
Denison, Waco, Sherman, Paris, San

missed and good results would, I feel
sure, follow. Respectfully,

The Medical Journal publishes the fol-
lowing interesting facts: OF Sc 1881 cler-
gymen $50 died OF infectious diseases.
The usual experience of an insurance
company would have made the number
239; that is, the mortality of the clergy
men was only seventy nine per cent. of
the ordinary death rate. The death rate
of physicians from these diseases was
l27 above the usual rate, pointing to the
greater danger Of contagien in the
case Of the physician than in that
Of the pastor. OF lung affections,
excluding consumption, 81 clergy
men died, instead of 328, the number
expected from mortality tables. Ply
sicians died of such diseases 115 per cent.
above the average rate. Between the
ages of twenty-six and forty-five the
mortality OF Roman Catholic clergymen,
compared with Protestant ministers of
the same age, was as 1877 TO 100, while
between the ages OF forty-slx and sixty
FIVE the difference was as I54 to 100, and
between the ages of sixty-six and eighty
five as lis to 100.

is essentially our Christmas tree, fer at
that season its bright, crisp leaves and
clusters of waxy, red berries gives it q
conspicuous beauty. The tree Is OF
small growth, seldom exceeding fifteen
feet in height and one foot in diameter at
base of trunk, but the wood is so white
and the grain so fine and even that 1t is
much used for panneling aud moulding.
Magnolia-It seems almost like des-
ecration to class magnolia, grandi fora,
as common forest tree, and yet IN the
Southeast portion of our state the growth
is spontaneous and the tree reaches
size never seen in parks or gardens.
King of ornamental Towering trees, the
magnolia is also valued for its wood.
Being a slow grower the grain is I'M
usually fine It has soft, satin like
appearance and is light straw in color.
1t is used for furniture and all common
purposes.
Chinaberry grows rapidly, conse-
queutly the grain is coarse and of medi-
um weight, but it is one of the most
beautiful woods known. The grain Is
yellow and red alternating. Some idea
of its value may be had when we state
that common bed of no elaborate work
manship made from this wood commands
$500.
Black gum also reaches great size. The.
grain is hard, smooth and the fiber eX-
tremely tenacious. 1t is used for furni-
ture to some ey tent. Before spokes and
felloes became so common this wood was
used almost exclusively for making
wagon wheels.
CupOla gum is so closely allied to the black
gum that by many 1t is believed to be
the same tree. 1t is a soft, white wood
possessing no perceptible heart. The
gram is very fine and curls like a screw,
1t will not split and is used for bread
trays, wooden bowls and other wooden
ware.
East Texas has many other varieties of
hard wood trees that will be considered
in subsequent communication.
