THE New York Sun, after specula- ting on the cause of la grippe, and the disagreement of the doctors on the subject, gives the following advice:
 "It is obvious that, ignorant of the actual cause of the disorder, physicians are absolutely at q loss to know what tO do to combat it. They can only treat the symptoms as they arise and to the best they can to sustain the strength of the patient. For the present. we can rely only upon such methods, and it would be foolish and absurd to commend one remedy above another in disorder which no one as get understands. Under the circl,m- stances one can readily see what one physician heartily approves'as thera- peutic agent in influenza is decried by AnOther as rans poison. the truth being that one knows as little about the mat ter as the other. 1t may be taken us m axiom that physicians always agree when they are confronted with scien- 1ti1c facts; they differ only as regards 1h0 unknown. The real lesson to be leArned is prevention. Keep the body 3n gO0d health by proper attention to &ygienic measures, such as exercise, 1nths. diet and the like.

The Plantation Negro and His Mule

The Plantation Negro and His Mule
The plantation negro and the mule
seem peculiarly adapted by nature to
each other. The attachment frequent
ly appears mutual, and the exalted
value placed by the negro upon his
mule is almost invariably incidental
to ownership. The grief produced
by his death is often overwhelming,
bringing as it does not only the
very. serious loss of his services
which often occurs at critical crop
periods-but severance Of the in
visible but tender tie of companion
ship and affection.
Bill Belts, a negro customer of an
Alabama merchant-a good and
thrifty tenant of neighbOring plan-
tation, a quiet and industrious man
was observed by the merchant one
day leaning against the store counter,
patiently awaiting his turn for atten-
ton. The merchant glancng at him
was struck by his detected air and his
sad expression. "What can | do for

The merchant expressed his regret
at the death of Malindy-who was
Bills wife-spoke in commentator
of her merits, consoled Bill by the
reflection that death had ended the
sufferings of a long continued and
a hopeless infrmity, gave him the
whisky and coffin order, and turned
his attention to other customers.
A week or so later, Bill, who had
quietly stepped into the store I'M
noticed, was again observed by the
merchant leaning on the counter, his
face and bearing the embodiment of
despair and desolation.
"Wen, Bill" said the merchant,

and, as if overwhelmed by the recital
