THE DEADLY COLD BED.

If trustworthy statistics could be
had of the number of persons who
die every year or become perma-
nently diseased from sleeping iii
damp or cold beds, they would
probably be astonishing AMI ap-
FALLING. 1t is a peril that con
stantly besets travelling men, and if
they are wise they will invariably in
sist on having their beds aired and
dried, even at the risk of causing
much trouble to their landlords.
But, according to "Good House
keeping" it is a peril that resides
also In the home, and the cold
spare ROOM has slain its thous-
ands of hapless guests, and will
go on with its slaughter till people
learn wisdom. Not only the guests,
but tho family, often suffer the
penalty of sleeping In cold rooms
and chilling their bodies, at a time
when they need all their bodily
heat, by getting between cold sheets.
Even in warm summer weather a
cold, damp bed viii get in its dead
ly work. 1t is needless peril,
and the neglect to provide dry
rooms and beds has in it the ele-
ments of murder and suicide

FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS,

A petition is being circulated IN
Ohio and Pennsylvania in favor OF
Federal aid for the construction OF
public roads. The proposition is
framed on colossal scale, calling
for an appropriation of $5OO,OOo,
600 by Congress for the construc.
ton and repair of public roads, to
De issued at the rate Of $2O,OOO,O0C
a month and divided pro rata a
mong the several States. 1t Ia ao'
compauied by statement showing
the Importance and necessity OF
this work; that it will save the PEG
pie, and particularly the farmers
millions of dollars annually Tor
transportation; that 1t will further
give employment 70 hundreds OF
thousands of people, and relieve
any general depression that may
exist.
I'VE are just beginning to realize
the Importance of this Improvement
and the great cost it will entail, for
it fairly staggers the States them
selves. 1t would be much better
to arouse popular sentiment on this
subject, for the roads can best be
obtained by local taxation.-Tlmes-
Democrat.
Mississippi has taken the lead IN
many important measures during
the past few years; and, now, while
our legislature is in SESSION, Is the
time and opportunity for the solu-
ton of the public road question, so
far as this state is concerned, at
least. 1t is conceded by every
thinking man of the nation, that we
must have better public roads, and
there is no better time than the
present to formulate some wise
plan with that end in view.

TO YOUNG MEN

! The young man who has an am
bition to make great noise In the
world should learn boiler-maklng.
He can make more noise at that
trade than at anything else he can
engage IN.
If he believes a man should
"strike for wages" be should learn
!acksmithjpg-especially If he IS
good at "blowing."
If he would embrace profession
in which he can rise rapidly, he
should become an aeronaut. He
couldn't find anything better "for
high"
He certainly can do STAYING
land perhaps a starying) business
at the coopers trade.
If be believes ia measure not
men" he will embark in the tailor
ing business.
If the one great object of his life
is to make money he should get a
position in the United States mint.
If he is apunctual sort of a chap,
and is anxious to be son time," he
should put his hands 10 watch"
making.
II he believes 10 the chief end of
man to make his business largely
"felt,' why, of course, he will be-
come halter.
II he wants to "get at the root
of thing" he will become dent
lst-although if he does, he will be
often found Cooking down ia the
mouth"
If man is bungler at his best,
he should become a physician, and
then he will have none OF his bad
work thrown upon his hands, 1t is
generally buried out of sight, you
Know.
If he is needy and well-bred he
will be right at home as baker.
He shouldn't become cigar-mak-
Ell. If he does, all work will end
In smoke.
The young man who enjoys plen.
ty of company, and is ever ready to
scrape acquaintance, will find the
barber BUSINESS congenial pursuit.
The quickest way to ascend to
the top round of his calling, is to
become a hod carrier.
A very "grave" young man might
flourish as an undertaken.
Don't learn chalrmaklng; for, no
matter how well you please your
customers, they will sooner or later
get down on your work.
And don't become an umbrellas
maker, fer their business is fused
up"
If he would haye his work touch
the heads OF nations, we know of
no way he could sooner accomplish
such an object than by making
combs.
The young man who would have
the fruits Of his labor brought be-
fore the eyes of the people will be
come an opticlan. The work, being
easily seen through, cannot be diff.
ficult to learn.
A man can always make scent
in the perfumery business,
If young man is paragon OF
honor, truthfulness, sobrety, has
never sworn a profane word, and
has twenty thousand dollars that
he has no use for, then he should
immediately start-a newspaper

From history ana tradition VIC
learn that all the apostles except
John died unnatural and cruel deaths,
as follows:
Peter was cruci1ed in Rome, with
his head down, on a similar to
that used in the execution of Jesus.
Andrew was bound to IA cross, and
left to die from exhaustion.
James the Great was behcaded by
order of Herod at Jerusalem.
James the Less was thrown from a
high pinnacle, then stoned, and
finally killed with fuller's club.
Phillip was bound and hanged
against a pillar.
Bartholomew was tlaycd to death
by command of a barbarous king.
Matthew was killed with a halbcrd.
Thomas was shot by a shower of
arrows while at prayer, and after
wards run through the body with Il
lance.

PRED.

The Sugar Bouaty In tho south.

Relying upon the continuance of the
bounty for the full period specified in the
Mckinley law, the cane growers have
planted a large acreage, and, by the adop-
ton OF the most approved machinery. they
will make q serious effort to greatly deyef-
Op the production of domestic sugar. Real
izing that the bounty Is not only likely to
build up the cane industry, but establish q
very profitable beet sugar industry as well,
the lower House OF Congress seems to be
less disposed to attack the bounty clause,
while, az long az the Senate remains tn
Republican hands, it is not probable that
a change in one of the essential features of
the Mckinley act will be permitted. -NeW

Well, what will our Northern Demo-,

ayune? That paper is strictly Demo-

party and against the Republican pro-
tective system; and yet the Picayune
has strong faith that the sugar bounty,
which 10 doing so much to build up the
sugar industry In the South, will not be
disturbed as long as The Senate remains IN
Rcpubticdn hands! What q rebuke to

This Gong for business,

In the Office OF the Captain of the
watch at the Treasury Department is
q large gong connected with a series
of wires. That bell has never been
rung save when it is tested to sec if
1t is in working order, and the Off
Gals trust that it never will be
sounded. When ~ does business Of
the most serious kind Is meant.
At some time or other some crank
or cranks might get into the cash
room or banking office of the Treasury,
and by bold use OF arms attempt to
make a raid. This gong is connected
by a number of wires with the cash
room, and the pressure of a button at
convenient places will sound the
alarm. The watchmen have orders
when that rings to drop all other
work and come to the cash room thor
0ughlv armed and ready to deal with
whatever may present itself.
