WOULD DECREASE MORTALITY.

We have been talking great deal
about our heavy mortality report in this
city. IL Is at least. partly explained by
tho want OF tree hospital. Every doctor
knows that. for instance, when negro IL
stricken with typhoid-fever he has poor
cnanco for recovery. his surroundings be-
ing considered. and 80 with other diseases
too numerous to mention. Our mortuary
rate would not be near so heavy with a
good tree hospital. whose affairs are gov
erned by the most competent men we can
find. New Orleans has magnificent hos
pital, with 800 beds IN IT. and Charleston
has beautiful one. Atlanta. Savannah,
and other southern cities have them.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

The farmers of this country are all
powerful if they will only hold together.
Professor W. w. Cooke says there is
nothing you can do to fodder crop that
will increase its digestibility. This is
absolutely true.
To extinguish kerosene flames, If no
cloth is at hand, throw flour on the
flames; -four RAPIDLY absorbs the fluid
and deadens the flames.
There is no business which will give
a better Weld on a small capital than
farming. This is no new fact, but it
should be stated and restated.
The popular soaps that tioat' owe
their success to the fact that cotton seed
oil is their basis. The bulk of the cheap
"olive oils" are now made of cotton seed.
Taxes are shifted by adding them to
the price of the article taxed. This re-
duces consumption, as the world cannot
use so much at high price as it can at
a low price; and this eventually checks
production.
The wheat prospects are still unset
tied. From all we can gather there has
been large increase in the acreage OF
spring wheat, quite enough to make up
for any loss on account of damage done
to winter wheat by unfavorable weather,
etc.
-Mahomet's injunction against the
use of ardent spirits is so well obeyed,
even at this late day, that it is an ex-
tremely rare sight to see a drunken
Mussulman. A lady who has been max
ing tour of Egypt says that during a
long stay in Cairo none OF her party saw
an intoxicated man.

PECULIARITIES OF THE CONTRACT
LABOR LAW.

"Our immigration regulations" said
prominent steamship man to a New
York Press man recently, appear to be
designed to admit the worthless class
and keep out people who would be self
supporting and a benefit to our country.
At any rate the law sometimes works in
that way. When man comes here with
the expectation or promise of employ
ment he is sent back under the contract
labor law. If he will say that he has no
idea of working or doing anything he is
received with open arms. A particularly
hard case came under my observation
the other day. A poor devil from Austria
was the victim. 1t was developed. upon
his examination at Ellis Island. that he
had worked for thirty cents day at his
home. A friend had informed him that
he might earn So week working at his
trade in Philadelphia. He had accord
ingly sold out his little stock of personal
effects and realized enough to pay his
passage to this country. He could not
understand a word of English, and did
not understand the significance of ad.
hitting that he expected to obtain EN-
ployment in Philadelphia. The moment

successful one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something en-
tirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is re-
warded for doing it. The prize is only
a stimulus to do something that would
be we'll worth doing without it, The
architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on certain corner is not &C
cepted has spent his labor on something
OF very little use to him. But the person
who patented a simple and useful device
in the Press Claims Company's cOmpeti-
ton, need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his wOrk-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanical ex-
pert who studies it only from the theO-
retical point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be too sim
pie to be worth patenting. The simpler
the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and pop
ularity, will get the Press Claims Com
pany's twenty i've hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that it,
stock is held by about three hundred o.
the leading newspapers of the United
States.
