Undoubtedly the price of silver and
the price of wheat have parted com
pany and are now travelling in oppos-
lite directions, the former down the
ladder and the latter up. The strange
thing is that anybody should have
claimed that there ever was any vital
relation between them.

THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA.

THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA.
People who do not know what they
are talking about, are too often inclined
to sneer at the good old city of Alexan-
dria If some of them, who have occa-
sion TO deal with city merchants, would
give the matter little investigation,
they would soon fnd that their adv erse
criticism is altogether grouDdless. For a
C ty that has subscribed so literally 10
the building of the railroads which now
divert her trade, and to other public
from which she is now
deriving no benefit, Alexandria is ex-
hibiting much courage and persever
snce under adverse circumstances. Her
business men are energetic snd success
full, as rule. 1t is we'll known that in
the matter of wholesale groceries, Alex
andria can aud does successfully com
pete with more pretentious cities, while
she has long retained large lumber
and fertilizer trade. There are many
other industries successfully prosecuted
there, and her retail stores will compare
with those of any city of like size in
this section of the country. She is
blessed with carefully conducted bank
lug institutions, which command She
confidence of the public to an unusual
degree. If the business men of Alsx-
andria are lacking in any particular el
ement of success, it is in their failure to
reach out and secure the trade which
belongs to them. Observe
how few (comI aratively speakina) of
the business men of Alexandria adver-
tise in the papers OF that city and the
Fairfax Herald, which so thoroughly
cover a field from which they c, I'D
EASILY attract large and growing trade.
But this does not change the fact that
the people who slight Alexandria fre
quently ''go farther and fare worse. y

gangplank, as the Ramsdell boat touch
ed at that place Saturday night. Capt.
Faurot, who bas for more than quar-
Ter of a century piloted Hudson river
steamboats, to New York, heard the
warning as he rushed down the dock
road and across the planking that led
to the boat. In his hurry he kicked
loose plank out Of place, aud Instantly
myriads of flies came straight up from
beneath the pier. The darkness at first
concealed them, and the captain could
not account for the strange noise, but
when clouds of the flies, in their rush
toward the lights on the boat, almost
knocked him off his feet, he realized
that something had struck him. How
be managed to get over the gang.
plank he cannot tell, but the howls Of
the crews as they met the invaders told
him that he was not dreaming. The
captain was the only one, except the
flies, that got aboard. He rushed to
the pilot house, but the flies were there
ahead of him. They took possession Of
the decks aud invaded the staterooms.
The captain ia something ola fly con-
noisseur, and he picked out no less than
q dozen different species. Blue bottles
rested on his nose, while blow flies,
crane flies, dragon flies, day flies, way
flies, with thousand of midges, gnats
and mosquitoes, hummed about his
ears and made life miserable for pas
seugers and crew. They lodged on
the electric globes, and spread dark
ness over the boat. When they attack
ed the electric light the Captains patti
ence became exhausted, and he ordered
the crew to attack the pests with hot
water. When New York was reached
| most of the pests were dead.

A NEW FRUIT PEST.
It Attacks Oranges and Lemons and
Has Created Alarm Among the
Orchadists.

San Francisco, Feb. 22-The sudden
discovery of a new pest which is max
ing great havoc among the oranges and
lemons shipped to the east from South
ern California, is receiving investigation
by professors of the agricultural college
at the state university.
The new pest has been found to be a
form of fungus. but whether it is entire
~ a new variety remains to be proved
by further examination.
PrOfS. Woodwork and Bioletti have
the investigation in charge. The new
disease has appeared so suddenly that
growers in the south have not had time
to ship many samples of the fungus to
Berkeley.
Samples of the pest as it attacks the
lemons are all that have thus far been
received. None of the specimens of the
orange blight have been examined, al
though the professors feel confident that
the same form of fungus has attacked
both fruits.
The appearance of the new disease
upon the surface of the lemon varies
with the duration of time that the fruit
has been off the trees. The disease was
first noticed in the east, where Califor-
mia fruit bore large repulsive, red
b1otches that made it unsaleable. In
the shipping houses in Southern Califor-
mia the fungus appeared during the last
few weeks as a brown or grey patch of
coloration.
At first it was passed without COM
ment by the shippers, but when the re-
turns from eastern shipments showed
whole car loads sold at an immense
sacrifice on account of the new disease,
then the alarm was sounded in the CAL
ifornia orchards and now every south

Are we blind that we fail, as nation
and state and individuals, to recog-
nize the ineontrovertible fact that such
demand will never cease until we cut
off the supply? And does it not be-
hoove US to work with a will, and to-
gether, that the little ones of today may
not require such training as civtliza-
ton offers through its police and law
courts?
Reformers are often called visionary,
because of their expressed belief that
rapid changes could be brought about
If certain practical plans were pursued.
Heredity has been the argument against
such views most frequently advanced
by people who delight in conservatism;
and yet the medical faculty, once the
champion of physical heredity, now
claims that tendency" is the correct
word to use, while the world draws
sigh of relief, and the men and women
! who have carried in their hearts the
gnawing fear of inherited disease i'm
bibe fresh courage and listen eagerly to
the methods by which the tendency
may be overcome.
Thus it is that by mental heredity
the children of so-called depraved or
vicious parents are not born as thieves
or murdererS or counterfeiterS, but are
born into surroundings which develop
the inherited tendency to crime. Given
a new environment, what would result?
In reply 1 cannot do better than to
quote from Jacob RiiS' book, THE Chill
dren of the Poor Referring to the
of the Christians Aid society of New
York city he said: 1T is not at the
child's past, but at it's future. that men
must look That it comes from among
bad people is the best reason in the
world why it should be put among those
that are good. That is the one care
of the society. Its faith that the child
so placed will rise to their level is UNI
shaken after these many years"
Human nature is another fictitious
barrier to rapid progress to which con-
servatives appeal. They claim with
zeal which merits nobler utterance,
You can't change human nature.
How old, how trite the cry, and yet
how false. Human nature changes con-
stantly, and if we doubt for the better.
a glance at the pages of history will
dispel such doubt.
Let US have no more croaking as to
what cannot be done; let US see what
can be done, and above all see that it is
done.
This is in no sense a sex movement,
nor has this appeal to take up this
made to mothers alone. Men have
thousand imperative outside interests
and pursuits. while nature has set her
seal upon woman as the care-taker of
the child; and it is therefore div1nely
natural that woman should lead in
awakening mankind to a sense of the
responsibilities resting upon the race
to provide each new born soul with
an environment which will foster its
highest development.

ZUNI MOTHERS.
Motherhood in the Early Stages o.
Human Developments

Mr. Frank Hamilton Gushing, of
Washington, was a speaker at the
Mothers congress. his topic being,
Mother and Child of the Primitive
World" Mr.. Gushing told of his child
life and training by Zunt Indians,
among whom he spent five of six years.
''These people" he said, were a pec-
pie who had reached, and still exempli-
fy in their modes of life, the last and
highest stages in the first periods of
human development. The life of a Zuni
child was depicted by Mr.. Gushing, with
the tender care of the semi-saVage
mother and the early training of the
infant touched upon.
Mother right first and father right
second was the social basis of organi-
cation among the tribes. Habits and
customs among primitive American In
esting manner
1t was a mistake to regard primitive
people as savages. They were simply
children and belonged to the childhood
of our race. Yet today the little moth
erS of the Zunis, in disposition and
modes of mind are the truest represent
tatIves on earth of what our gentle
mothers used to be in the morning of
mans creation.
With the Zunis the mother was first,
not last. She was the center of the
family. To her belonged the honor and
the fame or the clan. Her children be-
of the mother. Mr.. Gushing related
several stories to show the veneratipn
of the Zuni children for their mothers,
and also several pretty Indian legends
of motherhood. He sang a Zunt lula
bye, which was heartily applauded.
