L., Get a Hun p o Us.

II neal Y makes he tur!l SICK with
disappointment, and legl et to Witness
such brilliant opportunities go by
unimproved for the development Ct
the natural resources with which We
have been so abundanily blessed,
and with which nature has with ali
unstinted and even lavish hand
placed at our very doors, only await
ing the art and appliances Of nan
for their util ZatiCn for the benefit,
comfort and convenience Of humanity.
We have time and again called the
attention and invited the co opera
tion of our citizens, to many oppor-
tunities which presents themselves
for making money and at the some
time becoming an essential factor III
building up our little viliiage, and
we propose to keep hammeling on
this line if it takes all summer on un-
til some tangible effort is made to
put into practical operation some OF
the Suggestions made III these Col
umns for the growth and develop
meut of Lexington court house.
Our observation leads US to the
opinion that the only thing needed
for the accomplishment of 20 desira
bic an end is the want Of unanimity on
the part Of the people touching these
things. Ii our people could only be
brought to realize the Importance OF
acting in concert in working out our
N ,terial and industrial destiny, one
of the greatest obstacles which is
now clogging the wheels OF progress
and retarding the growth and de
velopment of our little village
would be removed Understand
us, we Go not wish to convey the
impression that we are entirely dead,
that we are wanting in energy and
enterprise, for such IS not the case.
We are doing the best We can under
the circumstances; but we insist that
there is room for improvement and
to step in and occupy this room Is
why We want Us to get move on
as.

Bells

Once in Switzerland l stopped at
the little village OF Burglen, right on
the very spot where William Tell
lived, for | am one to believe his story
with all my heart, and keep the spirit
OF it in the world, just rs | would
keep the spirit Of Santa Claus for the
children, in spite Of all that is said
against it. Well, every morning and
evening, right by my window, rang
the matin" and ''vesper" bells,
calling the villagers to their simple
service, and they came, many with
tools III their hands to leave them at
the door, barefooted,I 10 enter and
kneel in prayer before going to their
daily labor. The bell is called the
"Angelus" in that country, and if
you once heard it as / have, you
would love and cherish all it's associ-
ations. Let me tell you one little
story of the curfew.
In an English village bride stole
forth, Ginevra-like, on her wedding
day, to hide in the furze, but, becom-
ing frightened, tried to find her way
back, and took the wrong path; she
was soon lost, and heavy snow
storm coming with the darkness, the
girl became terrified with visions Of
robbers and danger in every form,
when suddenly through the dismal
gloom came the sound Of the dear
old curfew, sweet and low. Guided
by it to her home, she fell upon her
kpees in crotit,1de Whep she died
she beqneathed not only chime
of bells to the church Of her little
village, but money to keep up the
custo m always of ringing the curfew.

Diseased Teeth.

The belief that unsound teeth be-
long only to highly civilized state
OF life seems to be prevalent one.
But J.H. Mummery informs us in Ma
ture that a very different conclusion
was reached by his father, more than
twenty years ago, after an inquiry
extending over more than a decade.
Over 1000 skulls were examined, in
cluding all the available collections
in Great Britain. Among 36 skulls of
ancient Egyptians, there were 10
with carious teeth; among 76 Anglo
Saxon skulls, y; among 146 skulls
OF Recommendations, Al; and among
"A miscellaneous skulls Of ancient
Britons. 9. Several other collections
gave like results. Examining skulls
OF savage races, 277 per cent. Of
Tasmanians were found to have dem
tai carries, 20.45 per cent Of native
Australians, 2+.25 per cent. OF the ma
tives OF East Africa, and 27.96 per
cent. Of the natives OF West Africa.

Sinking Of the Delta.

The reported settling at the rate OF
six inches per century Of the region
OF the Mississippi river delta is mat
ter which, il confirmed, may well en-
list some interest. IL is not at all
unusual for the surface Of the earth
in places to thus yield TO a slow and
sometimes TO rapid subsistence, but
il is only along water lines that mark
the ocean level that these variations
are so noticeable. A large area CT
inland country might depress several
feet, and II the depression were uni
form as to hills, valleys, plains,
ravines, etc, il would not be notice.
able because Of no standard Of COM
parison. II the region in tie vicini.
ty OF New Orleans is sinking at the
rate Of one and a half inches in
twenty-five years, this does not seem
much, and yet time may come in
the not very remote future when the
waters OF the gulf will wash her pres
ent floors. So far as the effect is felt,
il does not much matter whether this
is brought about by the absolute SUBJ
sidence OF the lands or the slow ele-
walton beyond their former level Of
the waters, as very slight change in
the earth's centre OF gravity would
suffice for the later. 1t may be pos
sible that the deposition of such an
immense amount OF alluvium as the
river carries down and deposits on
the Gulf floor, displacing IA bulk Of
water Of less weight, might gradually
dinge down the earth's crust at that
point, and it is also possible that the
serious fault" in the rock structure
up in the New Madrid region, and
which resulted in the sunk coun-
try" during the remarkable earth
quake of lSll-l2, may extend to the
Gulf and be lying in wait for future
mischief. Had the present sunken
region been populous during the
ninety days OF trembling and billowy
undulation, when the forest trees in
terlocked, the calamity to human
life and property would have been
most appaliing.-[New York Tele-

Restoration Of British Forests.

The area Of the woodland Of the
British Isles is now reduced to about
1900, 600 acres, which is only 80 acres
to each ], 600 of the country's total
area. This is smaller proportion
than that in almost every other Eu-
ropean country. Austro-Hungary
has 343 acres of forest to each i 1000
acres; Russia. 342; Germany 257;
Sweden and Norway, 250; France.
159; Italy, 145; Belgium, l42; Hol.
land, ~; Denmark, 60. 1t is esti.
mated that in addition to about $l5,-
100000 in tropical woods, Great
Britain imports annually $50, 600, eco
worth of oak, ash, pine, etc. 1t is
believed that the latter expense
could be saved to the country by the
afforestation of 5000, 600 acres Of
what is now waste land-a work that
DR.. Schlick calculated would require
15, coo laborers, IL the planting were
done at the rate Of 300, 600 acres
yearly, while it would eventually
provide steady employment for 1OO,-
COO persons. This problem is now
exciting scientific and official inter-
est, and as the future prosperity Of
Great Britain depends so largely upon
a careful outstanding OF its resources,
