SOMETHING ABOUT CEREALS,

n Question That lnsttgated Seurch--
Derivation of tho NANCE Complete List
of Cereals. with IA short Description of
Each.
The question asked by the junior
member of the family, this morning;
What does cereal really mean, and
what are cereals, anyhow :" caused q
search through Flint, Henderson and
Vilmoring, as we'll as general authorities
bearing upon this subject.
Cereal, from cereas, pertaining to the
cultivation of grain for food. Grain or
corn is the name as applied TO all the
seed-bearing grasses used for human
food and termed cereals.
Cerealia, cereals or grasses which are
cultivated mostly for the large size of
their edible or farinaceous seed.
Tho name is derived from the Greek
goddess Ceres, who was the daughter of
Saturn and Ops. Mythology has it
that Ceres first instructed men to plough
the soil, to sow the seed and reap the
harvest. She is represented as being
tall female, her head adorned with cars
of wheat, her right hand filled with
poppies, and in her left lighted torch.
Cereals are all ANIMALS and die after

Senator Higgins made no charges against
Major Wootten, excepting those which
had been made by the people of LAUREL
-Hoi1tiftg Neips.
How kind on the part of Senator
Higgins But wouldn't it have been a
little awkward for Mr.. Higgins to
formulate any charges on his own re-
sponsibility in the face of his own
written statement, given to the press on
the night of October Goth, 1892, in con-
nection with that famous-or, rather,
infamous-secret confab at the house of
Postmaster Smith, at Laurel, on the
night of October 18th, that "having
understood him (Wootten) to be man
of influence and good standing, told
him thought an office could be had for
himl ?" How considerate it was on the
part of Mr.. Higgins to discover that the
man to whom he promised an office
under the Harrison administration was
unfit to serve under the Cleveland
administration

American Industries reports the bot
tom dropping out Of "the conspiracy of
idloness in which the protected indus
trial barons have been engaged. From
every side comes evidence that the pres.
sure of idle capital is bearing down to
the breaking point, and even before the
object lesson which they set themselves
to enforce is complete, the protection
lists arc routed from their artificial and
sometimes criminal positions; for, seeing
ruin or u rival in the field, they are re-
Stunning work all around. The collapse
is universal; from cast, west, north and
south, the evidence comes in. Yonkcrs
starts her carpet making, Michigan her
iron industries, Massachusetts her
WOODEN mills. The granite quGrrics Of
Vermont start and the machine works
of Baltimore have orders for machinery
that will provide for many months.
This is just what we have prognosti-
Gated. Monopolists may arbitrarily and
wilfully close down and retailers may
trade on accumulated stock, but the
world will not stand still; consumption
progresses with daily strides, and the
protectionist who persists in his OBJ
stinacy soon finds that he must fall into
marching order or march off, The first
law of nature is too strong for the ma.
jority, and self-preservation compcls
what common honesty could perhap;

Fortunate jacksonville The Times.
Union of that city says editorially: "The
history of the past year is full of bust.
ness failures all over the country. There
were none worth mentioning hero. In
other parts of the country workingmen
were thrown out of employment by the
wholesale. We do not believe that one
man less than usual was at work in
Jacksonville. OF course in ordinary
times there is some enforced temporary
idleness. We have no reason for be-
lieving there was more than usual in
Jacksonville last year. Nearly every
city in the land has learned what hunger
and starvation mean; Jacksonville
knows nothing about it by experience.
We have much to be thankful for, and
it is time we were looking at that side
of the picture"

The news of the death of George W.
Childs comes not unexpectedly to the
thousands who have read with so much
solicitude the daily bulletins from the
room where the best medical science
had been fighting an uphill battle with
the inevitable. But he will be none the
less missed, not only in his own coun-
try but on the other side of the Atlantic,
for his life of grand usefulness had
made him known as a friend of humanity
all over the English-speaking world.
He has left shining example for
younger men to follow, in life OF

had SO creditably earned chiefly for tho
opportunities and the power which ii
brought him to do good to his fellow
men.

From the December summary Of ex-
ports and imports, just received, we
learn that, as in November, there were
no steel rails brought into this country,
while, on the other band, we sent out
\ of the country 1850 tons of steel rails
for sale in the free trade markets
abroad. During the calendar year 1893
we exported 1919 tons OF steel rails
and imported 1888 tons. During the
preceding year, 1902, We exported 7,40G
tons of steel rails, and imported only
347 tons. These import figures include
both iron and steel rails, while the ex-
+, ports we have quoted are confined to
steel rails. During the calendar year
] 1893 We exported $50, 1859, 1850 worth Of
iron and steel and manufactures thereof,
and imported of the same products $780,
26S,073 worth, showing balance of
nearly million dollars in our favor.
For the preceding year the balance was
between five and six millions the other
way. In the tables of exports by coun-
tries we learn that we shipped 10 the

that the entire cost Of making a ton Of
