". w... Nor. Al, no,,a wora.

Il is clear that we cannot look round
and take note Of our contemporaries in
any department in life without feeling
certain that many who stand in the first
renk are not indebted in any way to any
physical powers which they may have
cultivated for the development Of their
mental organization, and may include
in that observation also some men Of
past history Yet, as matter Of his
tory. the physical development comes
first and proves that good physical work
should be cultivated. The danger lies
not in the cultivation Of it, but in the
overcultivation, and the tendency now
is toward the latter.
I can remember when exercises Of q
physical kind were limited in number /;
when cricket and rowing were almost
the only ones, and when rowing was the
only exercise that led to any considera-
BILE risk OF overstrain. Now both these
exercises are being pushed to excess,
while others which are very popular,
such as football. cycling and pedestrian
ism, are alluring men to an overcultiva-
tion Of certain parts Of the body that
should be Stunned; that destroys it's
own object, in so far as bodily perfec-
tion is concerned, and that certainly
when it renders the body imperfect, in
jures the mind Of the owner and Of
those who unfortunately spring from
him.-Sir B. w. Richardson in Satur-
day Review.

The Herald pays the STAR a very
nice compliment in reproducing some
items that at some time in the past
have appeared in these columns which
were inclined toward free silver. AL
though those items were inspired
while we were yet in the rudiments of
this financial question, they .s,are doubt
less far better arguments for that side
of the question than the Herald has
yet been able to present, and in repub-
fishing them now the Herald is exhib-
iting the best judgment it has ever dis
played in filling its columns. If the

A Mountain Of Gold.

The most famous and most puzzling
Of all gold mines is the Mount Morgan.
It appears, from one Of the Sydney pa
pers, that it contributes more precious
metal to the worlds treasure than any
other patch of the earth's surface of the
same extent. Mount Morgan is supposed
to be the product Of q thermal spring
and is simply mountain of gold, but
Of gold that has already been treated by
nature. In some faroff age the hill has
been huge natural crucible, and all
the gold it contains has been already
mined, chemically dissolved and precip-
itated by nature herself. No speck Of
gold larger than pins point has ever
been discovered in the mount. The pre-
cious metal exists in sort of golden
-four, dissolved through ironstone.

Herald will continue quoting SO copi-
ously from the STAR it will be sure to
have something that its readers will
appreciate.
But, by the way, will the Herald edi
tor inform his readers what he was up
to when he stood in with the county
convention that sent an instructed
gold delegation to the state convention
this spring to elect delegates to the
Chicago convention? and if he enjoys
reviewing the past he might go back to
the democratic county convention of
two years ago, when he was candi-
date, and announce how he harmonizes
that platform, upon which he stood,
with what he is now doing.

be deceived.

Grover Cleveland's editor, of the

his paper said two weeks ago about the
populists swallowing the democrats,
for last week he denied having written
it. This leaves the editorial RESPONSE

its mutterings would indicate-without

It is seldom that a man SO masters a
foreign language that he can express
himself therein when greatly excited.
A Welshman, after attempting to
take part i'll prayer meeting conducted
in English and finding it very difficult
to express the fervor of his heart in the
partially acquired tongue, suddenly
broke the halting and laborious SEN
fences with joyful exclamation:
Lord, / thank thee that thou know
est Welsh !" and straightway launched
upon the sea of gutterals which came so
readily to his lips.-New York OBJ

1t has always been our experience
that it requires business-work-t
make money.
1t is business that makes money and
not money that makes business. This
is the meat in nutshell. Money
may make business for time, per-
haps, regardless of surroundings or
conditions, but that business is not
healthy enough to live if it is not able
to go alone regardless of the money
behind it to keep it going. There is no
one putting money into business pure
ly for the sake of doing business, but
they are going into business for the
sake of making money.

Milkmen sometimes find in summer
that the morning IS milk will sour, while
that of the evening before is still sweet.
Tho reason for this is milk when drawn
from the COW is ut u temperature best
adapted for bacterial growth. The
nights milking is cooled overnight,
whereas the mornings milk is poured
directly into the cans. and the bacteria
which have entered it are we'll started
on their growth before the nights milk

Van Etten has done a great deal in his

Of prohibition or temperance. He is

WHY Not the Nerldinn Rondr

The county commissioners have au-
thorized its road committee to macada-
mize Bay street extension from the city
limits, and the Augusta road to the bridge
over the Dundee canal, and 1t is under
stood that the city authorities are to pave
Bay street from where the paving now
stops to the city limits. The work will
be done as soon as the Improvement of
the Ogeechee road to the seven mile post
is completed. The latter work as stated
few days ago is to be pushed forward as
rapidly as the material can be obtained.
In this connection it may be asked why
the county commissioners do not finish
building the Meridian road and macada-
mize it. That road as projected would
benefit a section of country that is more
thickly settled than any other, and where
property is more valuable and more taxes
are paid than elsewhere in the county out
side of the city. The Meridian road
would give Bond Bella, Cedar Hammock
Isle of Hope and other suburban settle
ments whose residents do business in the
city just such a driveway as they need
The Meridian road also crosses the
countys land, and it's construction would
greatly enhance the value of that public
property. The old board of commission
ers built the road from Montgomery cross
roads northward for distance of two
miles. Little or nothing has been done
towards completing the work by the pres
ent commissioners. For some reason the
commissioners have set their faces
against this work. Possibly the hostility
is due to the fact that it was projected
by their predecessors. There isn't a sane
man in the county who doesn't know that
more people would be directly benefited
and that more benefit would accrue to
the county by the building of a good
road in the eastern section of the
county, like the projected Meridian road,
than from the improvement of half a
dozen such roads as the Ogeechee or the
Augusta road.
