PECULIAR LAUGH OF THE NEGRO.
II Can BE Easily Distinguished From
That of His White Brother.

From the st. Louis Republic.
THE negros laugh Is as distinct from
the laugh Of all other races of people as Is
the color of his skin" remarked J. M
Kenneth of Atlanta, Ga. 1.-The best ne
gro minstrel ever saw fails lamentably
in initiating the African laugh. The ne
gro's cachlnation is full and round and
hearty. It is emitted grudgingly, like
the Germans or shriekingly, like the
Americans. II comes out with explosive
spontaniety, and ceases gradually; not
suddenly, like the Irishman's. Probably
the white man could initiate 1t II he had
the peculiar timbre of voice which the
negro possesses, and which gives the
black man such melody in song 1t is a
curious fact that, however little negro
blood may be i'm a person, It's presence IL
proclaimed TO the trained ear by the
laugh.
Some time ago a Georgia court had be-
fore IL a couple charged with miscegena
ton. The woman's parentage was so well
known that there was no question of her
being full-blooded white. But her husband
had drifted into the community from no.

WATER ron ONE.
An Authority Tells How Much II
Needed by Persons In Various Oc-
cupntfonH
from Tho Journal Of Hygiene.

Needed by Persons In Various Oc-
equations.
From the Journal OF Hygiene
According to Prof. Allen, we should
drink from one-third TO two-fifths as many
ounces as we weigh pounds. Therefore. for
man weighing 1913 pounds there would
be required fifty-six to sixty-four ounces
daily, or from one and one-half to four
pints. This Is very indefinite answer
The amount of water required depends on
the season of the year, the amount of work
done and the kind of food eaten. In hot
weather we require more than in cold, pe-
cause of the greater loss through the skin,
though this Is In part made up by the
lesser amount passed away through the
kidneys. If man labors very hard he re-
quires more than If his labor is light. A
man working in a foundry, where the tenn
perature Is high and the perspiration pro-
fuse. not lnfrequently drinks three or four
gallons daily. II the food is stimulating
and salty more water is required than il
It is bland.
Vegetarians and those who use much
fruit require less water than those who
eat salt fish and pork, and often get along
on none except what is in their food. In
most cases our instincts tell US how much
water to drink far better than any hard
or fixed rule. For ages they have been ac-
curing a knowledge OF how much to drink
and transmitting that knowledge to des-
cendants. and II we follow them we shall
not go far out of the way.
1t is of more use to us to know that pure
water Is essential and that impure water
is one of the most dangerous drinks than
to know how much of it is required daily
IL one lives In a region where the water
is bad 1t should be boiled and put away in
bottles well corked in an ice chest, and in
addition one should eat all the fruit one
can If fruit agrees. Fruits contain not only
pure water bat salts which are needed Z
carry on BEAUTIFULLY the functions of life

THE FADING DECLARATION.
Text DecipherabIe with n Glass, the
SIGNATURES Almost Disappeared.

Signatures Almost Disappeared.
From the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
The Declaration of Independence Is kept
between two great plates of glass the
edges of which are Theoretically sealed.
At intervals, and as a special favor the
custodian pulls out a drawer In a huge
steel box and shows the treasure. But
most of the time the two plates, with their
sheet of parchment between, rest where
burglars cannot break through, where fire
cannot reach, and where daylight cannot
complete the raVages already wrought by
exposure. Visitors to the state department
who want to see the declaration are shown
a perfect fac-simile, which hangs In
handsome frame and looks old enough to
be the original. They go away none the
wiser for the substitution. Tho truth Is
that the declaration was fast becoming
a tradition when the extraordinary steps
for It's preservation were taken about
three years ago.
In the administration of John Quincy
Adams a copper plate of the original was
made. To get the copy for the engraVer
the surface of the parchment was moist

1t removed about 50 per cent of the ink.
For some years the original was exhibit
ed under glass at the patent office. Tt
hung where the sun reached short time
each day, until the discovery was made
that the script was fading. Better care
was taken when the declaration was hung
in the library OF the new state department
building. But for some reason never sat
isfactorily explained the signatures sud-
denly seemed to be fading. John Ham
cocks name. one of the boldest on the

The declaration can be declphered with
the aid of a glass, but the signatures are
almost entirely faded out. What Is left OF

EX-SENATOR ROBERTSON DEAD.
One of CarOIina's WeaIthiest Men
Dies at Columbia.

Columbia, S. c.. Oct. 13.-Ex-United
States Senator Thomas c. Robertson, the
wealthiest man in the state outside of
Charleston, died here to-day, aged IA. He
was elected senator by the first republican
legislature under the 1868 constitution, and
served for two terms until displaced by
NJ. c. Butler.
Before the war Mr.. Robertson was a
planter in Edgefield, and amassed a for
tune, which has since been greatly in
creased.
Judge Haskell, a democratic leader in
"'76'' says Senator Robertson did not OPP
pose efforts of the new state government
for recognition, the only pledge he eXacted
being that the democrats should vote for
the constitutional two-min tax for school
purposes. One of his two sons is president
of bank here.
Mr.. Robertson has been paralyzed for
years. His estate is estimated to be worth
about 81, 000, 600.

SOUGHT GLORY IN MURDER.
Austrian NObIeman Imprisoned For
Life For Killing a Deserter.

From the New York Journal
The old adage that murder will out has
once more proved to be true, this time in
Galicia. From there comes a remarkable
story of how science proved an Austrian
officer TO have been guilty of numbering
private of his regiment. The private de-
serted with the intention Of coming to this
country. He was captured by the searching
party. but managed to escape. Three days
later the officer, who IS said 10 be a noble
man of high standing, and whose name
has been kept secret by the Austrian gov
eminent reported that he had shot and
killed the deserter. He asserted that he
had been out hunting when he came across
the fugitive. Halt, in the name Of the
emperor" he declares he cried. Then, ac-
cording to the story told by the officer, the
man ran away, and on being warned twice
more the officer fired and killed him. The
following day the officer was called before
his regiment and complimented on his
bravery, for the fugitive was known TO be
a desperate character. Visions of a medal
flashed across the officers mind and
everything seemed smooth sailing until
physician reported the result Of the au-
topsy.
The doctor found that the bullet which
had killed the man had taken a most re-
markable course. 1t had entered the head
at the point where the hair begins, near
the left temple. II then plowed it's way
downward and emerged beneath the right
cavicle. This exploded the officers story
that he had shot the man from behind,
for the position Of the body while running
would make it an impossibility for the
bullet to have taken the course described
The doctor declared that from the wound
1t was evident that the man had been ly-
ing fiat on his back when the shot was
fired, and that in all probability his hands
had been folded beneath the nape of his
neck. From this the authorities made the
deduction that the deserter had been sleep
ing when attacked by the officer, whose
desire for glory was stronger than his
humanity The officer was arrested and
the corpse of the private became his ac-
cuser. silent, but backed by the authority
of science. A court-martial was held, but
the officer stuck TO his original story. When
faced by the scientists and their evidence
he broke down and confessed that he had
shot the man while he was aBleeplrHe was
sentenced 70 life imprisonment.

His Greut Battle With Jay Eaton ON
For Tonight at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 13.-The local cycle
racing enthusiasts are all excitement over
the arrival in the city to-day of E. c.
Bald, the champion cyclist of the coun-
try. Bald came here to run a match race
with Jay Eaton, who is the indoor cham
pion, and known as the Indoor King"
The match, which will be for $500, will
take place at the colosseum track to-mor-
row night.
Bald is not accustomed to indoor tracks,
though faster man than Eaton in out
door competition, and for this reason the
cycle cranks expect the closest and hot
est race ever run in the south.
A large crowd of wEeelynen were at the
depot to meet Bald when he arrived this
morning.
