The question among the negroes

question too. Everybody is in the
hole together. The merchants and
planters are busted, and are in a

orally. The crop was so short hero
that it bit everybody an unparalel-
led blow never before known, The

systems are the three things that

take the situation by the horns and
start reform in our labor system.
The country is in better condition
to do it now than probably It will
ever be again. To rent your land
to negroes or work them on the

been proven, when left to boss and

self without business and that the
bent of his mind and habits of lite
are in the wrong channel. In en-
tering new bust ness he finds him.
self handicapped and incapacitated
to achieve success, consequently, he
is like fish out of water. Office,
holding as profession, disqual:fies
man for other pursuits. When
the cost is counted, he will find he
is kept poor, and could have done
better IN learning some trade, which
would afford steady work and assur-
ed income. The desire to hold office
crops out in the lives of men who
are engaged ottimes in lucrative
pursuits. There is a mania to hold
office with large number OF people
that seems strangely inexklicable.
It's not confined to men Of any one
party, but is conspicuous in all
parties, and ottimes the greed ter
office causes the starting of new
parties with the hope that the new
will afford better opportunities than
the old. These decisions are soon
dispelled by disappointment, and
other avenues are sought to get an
office. AS part of our system of
government Offices have to be filled,
but the number of Offices are not
equal to the demand. Fortunate is
the man who has not the office Itch |
and is content to pursue the trade,
the business or pursuit which be

mechanics and philosophy. He
took the degree in Phi. D. a few

Vegetarians say i. is a popular
fallacy that meat is needed for
strength. One prominent exponent
OF the faith says it is fact that the
strongest animals in the world are
vegetarian and not carnivorous. 1t
lis the terocity of the lion rather
than his strength that makes him
formidable. An elephant IS a
match FOR several lions, and is a
vegetarian. The animals with most
speed and endurance, the horse, the
reindeer, the antelope, and others,
are also vegetarians. Dog trainers,
says this authority, always feed their
trick animals on strictly vegeta-
rian diet, and many hunters do the,
same thing. Senator Palmer is said
to have vegetarian dog that is %
years old.

The entire medical fraternity of Germany

made no headway the past year. In fact
they decidedly lost ground. The ply
sicians opposition seems to be more
vigorous than ever. Professor Leibreich
of Berlin has tried lately to cure incipient
tuberculosis by inj ections of cantharides

treatment of lupus.
"Slmilar successes have been achieved
by Professor Lassar, secretary of the 1896
Worlds medical congress in Berlin. But
lupus is not intimately enough connected
with consumption to afford any substan-

tuberculosis is utterly beyond present
medical skill is, l am convinced, the belief
