A report of Prof. ]. D. Hird is subjoined,
which gives full account of the operations
Of the department during the year in con-
nection with the inspection of milk. An &C
count Is given in a general way of the
prosecutions conducted in court. which re-
suited in abolishing the very general prac-
ttce OF coloring milk. DR.. Hird urges that
thorough inspection of milk is of the
most vital importance to the community,
and holds that there should be legisla ton
to enable the health department to exer-
else complete control over this important
commodity. He repeats in this connection
much that he said in a recent report, in
which he suggested the establishment of
some system of inspection at the dairy
farms.
In many respects" he says, 1.-The quality
OF the milk has greatly improved during
the year. but the methods in which il is
handled In many of our grocery stores Is
still very Objectionable. In some instances
II lies around in the store without a cover
or protection of any kind from the odors,
which il rapidly absorbs, so that when the
consumer sits down to enjoy his glass of
milk he not only gets in his imagination a
beefsteak with vegetables. but a cigar or
pipe thrown in In other instances IL
Is placed in a refrigerator with meats and
other substances. which are not conducive
TO Its purity, while the measure remains
unwashed from the time II deals out its
first portion until the cleaning-up process
later in the day"

EXPERT medical evidence has
received an iconoclastic blow by
the developments of the Buchanan
murder trial now before the New
York courts. 4 famous pafholo-
gist and expert CONTEMPORARY
declared that a certain apparent
model Of the human brain SUBJ
mltted to him was a Ioor counters
felt, 1t was in fact a real brain,
chemically treated so as to resemble
a wax model of that organ. The
lawyer who crofs questioned the
expert is a young man named
O'Sullivan, to whom the protessio~
nal opportunity of his life has aud.
denly come. Like all men of real
greatness he has risen to the oc.
casion and scored a marvellous sues
cess. Some people speak of this
as "O'Sullivan's luck" There is
not an atom of sluck" about it.
O'Sullivan has won his uccees by
dint of hard study and hard work;
in short, by genius, which 3 greater
man than he has defined as "the
capacity for hard work." If he has
achieved a triumph as an advocate
it if because he has toiled for it,
not because he has been favored by

The fact that only n man in
North Carolina has, thus far
been appointed to foreign service,
ought to impress upon Us the lits
tlenees of the question of who
shall fill the Offices, as compared
to the much greater and all alb,
sorbing question, OF what laws shall
be enacted, or repealed, The
q uestion of Federal. super
visors oyershadows the question Of
the appointment 10 ST. James. The
question of the repeal of the 10 pei
cent. tax on state banks of issue
dwarfs, the question OF who shall
fill the cabinet positions. The
question of the tariff eclipses the
question of offices altogether. We
have therefore been disappointed
in the smaller matter OF oIice get
ting, let us hope that we may real
ize the full fruition of our desire
in the weightier matters of legisla-
tive relief.

Murder in her Heart.

STARKN1LLE, Miss, April %.
What came near being a murder
unique, in all probability, in the
history of crime. happened here a
day or two ago. Mrs. Helena
Matterson, the wife of Major j. 6.
Matterson, a prominent lawyer
and propeItyehpIder Of this yicin-
ity, undertook TO correct her little
daughter, a child c! Elk years,
when the lit one, running TO q
desk belonging 10 here father,
hurriedly opened q drawer and
drawing from it a revolver pointed
it at her mother, crying that she
was going to skill mamma" Mrs.
Matterson, knowing that the wea-
pom ws@ loaded, looked every mo-
meut for the child to pull the
trigger, and, realizing that her one
chance lay in strategy, began to
weep and to spssal to the little
girls good feeling.
This 3 on succeeded, and re-
placing the revolser, the child's
features selaxed, and, hastening to
her mother, she threW her arms
about her and wept In penitence.
AS soon as p ssibls the lady re-
moved the weapon beyond the
little spittire's reach, ard talked to
her of the wrong she had commit
ted, but Mrs Aatterson declares
that for a few moments the child
had murder in her heart toward
her, and chat but for her readiness
to divert her thoughts she would
have died at her child's hands.

COMMERCE Is The source OF GIVE
liz alton. It is not we'll for man to
be, aloneis true in more senses than
one; it is rue iI the aggregate as
we'll as in the individual instance.
The great Chinese wall, from
twenty-five to fifty feet high, with
it's armed turrets;at short intervals,
winding itself like a great serpent
through desert and dell, over hill
and mountair,, FOR 1900 miles;
with stasnation and death on
enc side, and mostly desert and
desolation on the other side. is, to
our mind. the most stupenduous
monument to the folly of man in
trying to set at defiance this great
decree of God; this great principle
of mans nature.
Let us then in the amplitude OF
our knowledge, in the full light OF
historical teaching, determine to
throw no unnecessary impeachment
in the way of nations intercourse
with nation, bind, no weights upon
the fleet wings of commerce. lest
we too find ourselves committing
mans greatest folly of fighting
against God.

A BAD TREATY: KILL =.

The famous Russian agitator
"Stepniak" sums up the insquity ;
fthe pending extradition treaty
between his country and this when
he says, apropos of the atrocious
theory that the United States
ought to concede Russia's demands
in return for a promised pledge by
the Gear to support our American
schemes for territorial aggrandize>
ment, that, ''carelessly given away
the head of a guest who comes to
seek refuge and hospitality Is bad
But selling him is worse STILL"
Now, in the first place, we have
no covetous designs on neighbor-
ing territory, and if We had VIZ are
quite able to carry them out
without the aid of Russia or
any other power. In the second,
we should buy the acquisition of al
the Continent very dearly at the
price of abandoning the sacred
right # asylum for political re
fugees from Russia or any other
country. "Stepniak" is not to
blame for crediting the absurd rus

republic of the West and the dess

Democratic parties. 1t was fire.
