WISE WORDS.

Caution is often wasted, but it is 3
very good risk to take.
The smallest children are nearest
heaven, as Che smallest planets are
nearest the sun.
Neatness, when moderate, is a yir-
tue; but when carried to an extreme
it narrows the mind.
Those whoare formed to win general
admiration are seldom calculated 10
bestow individual happiness.
It takes less time to amass a fortune
than to become hoayenly-minded. II
is the work of long life to become a
good man.
Hast thou considered how the be.
ginning Of all thought worthy tina
name is love; and the wise head never
yet was, without first the generous
heart?
Envy is the most inexcusable of all
passions. Every other sin has some
pleasure annexed to it, or will admit
Of an excuse; envy alone wants both.
Other sins last but for a while; the APP
petite may be satisfied; anger RENTS;
hadred has an end; but envy never
ceases.
AS long as injustice continues in the
world, so long will there be place
for anger and mission for it to per-
form But, like fire, while it makes a
very good servant, it makes a very bad
master. Uncontrolled, the one will
destroys city; the other will ruin char
acter and happiness.
Compliments are thepoeticnl touches
which redeem the monotony of prosaic
existence. In the intercourse Of
sympathetic and well-bred people they
have q natural place; and it is as pleas
ant to recognize by word or look the
graces aud charms of our friends as
it's to enjoy and profit by them.
All that men do now or propose do
ing in the future by law or by custom
is and will be of no avail to cure social
diseases, until and unless men of all
degrees find their souls. That gov
eminent or law, unless created and in
spired by true religious principles, will
never bring wisdom or contentment.

Altogether Improbable.

A story has travelled lately about a
stenographer writing 4O2 words in one
minute, but the first question that
suggests itself is who is able to emu
merate 400 words in a minute for the
stenographers to write? Clergymen, in
delivering sermons, average perhaps
ninety words per minute; political
campaign speakers 10. AS rule
senators in debate don't talk faster
than 100 words a minute, and in
spurts, they seldom reach 900. In
fact, very rapid readers find difficulty
in uttering intelhgi5ly 275 and 800
words in sixty seconds.

As to Smoke.

An English scientist has made some
interesting experiments as TO tho effect
Of nicotine upon the lungs and heart.
He has arrived at the conclusion that
a man Of easy-going nature can smoke
great deal without much injury TO
himself, while a nervous man will
damage himself seriously by smoking
much. A man who takes plenty OF
exercise in the open air may smoke
with impunity, while he who sits much

Watch John Bull.

Following the announcement that G British company has purchased con- trolling interest in the Panama canal and the Panama railway, we are now told that another corporation of the same nationality has been granted a concession by the Nicaraguan govern ment, giving it the exclusive right for thirty years to navigate Lake Nicara- qua and the San Juan river.
 If these reports are true, the proposed Nicaragua canal stands little chance of being constructed unless the United States government takes prompt and vigorous measures to protect it's own interests It is evidently the purpose of sessions on the isthmus and in Central America, which will enable it to con- struct and control a waterway between the two oceans or prevent this country from doing it.
 The nation owning and controlling this magnificent transportation high way will control the commerce of more  than half of the world. It will, more over, hold a strong military and naval position. which will make it trench dous factor in any conflict which may occur in either North or South America.
 It is time for the United States to take steps to check the aggressive march of the British in this hemisphere. AL ready, England has us almost sur rounded by an armed cordon. Her for tresses in Canada, the Rermudas and the West Indies are being constantly strengthened.
 If the Monroe doctrine means any, thing, it should be asserted in a way that will prevent any European power from obtaining a foothold in this quar- ter of the globe. National honor and preservation demand it.

The Modern Neqr0.

Dr. R. H. Johnson, an intelligent me- gro physician, has written an interest ing pamphlet on 1.-The Physical Degen- eracy of the Modern Negro" Tn some respects it is a peculiar book. Johnson is not very hopeful when he speaks of the future of his race. He finds that in a state of freedom the negro death rate Is double that of the whites and the birth rate is growing smaller
 The reasons for the physical degeEer- acy of the blacks, the author says, are ignorance, dissipation and carelessness. The old slave owners took good care of their negroes, because it was their in terest ito keep them in good health. In slavery the blacks became a race of physical giants. Now, the giants are disappearing, and the negroes are grow ing delicate and consumptive.
 The conclusion of Dr. Johnson is that the Africans, as a race, will finally van ish from the face of the earth. There is no danger that they will ever be nu- merous enough to menace white su- premacy in the south.

Might Have Been Expected.

The students of Baylor university, a Baptist institution, at Waco, Tex, made 8 mistake in mobbing Editor W. C. Brann, of The Iconoclast, and forcing him to write a retraction and give his promise to leave town.
 Such documents signed by a prisoner surrounded by an armed mob, amount to nothing, and public sentiment will react in favor of the victim.
 Editor Brann is too free spoken in his paper, and while he does some good by his fearless attacks upon fraud, shams and hypocrites, he does good deal of harm by his attacks upon the Christian religion.
 Still, it is a mighty poor religion that cannot win its way in spite of such in- fidels as Brann, and ths way to deal with all newspaper men of his class is to let them alone until they violate the law, and then turn them over to the courts. Ut was an outrage for the students of a Baptist university to turn themselves into a mob of lyncrers. They have hurt their institution and advertised their enemy and his business.

What King Iron Can Do.

Iron is as much of a King in this coun- Cry as cotton ever was, and in other lands 1t reigns supreme. Frosn the day, dn some historic period, when our anlcestors fashDuraed the first rude em- plemenjt out of this royal metal it has dominated the world in peace and in war. Swords and plowshares have bu,bt up naHoris and ersplras, and they Will do so until the ersd of dime.
 Around the great iron fields of the globe, and ihefr busy marts tl1rob with the pu1saIuions of commerce, while the hum of happy industry makes the wal- Kim ling. Iron builds the navfes and ship yards of the world and enters snJto lthe construction of every cabin and palace, every convenience from the hum 'bIe cars to NlIe parlor car, every rail- way, every tool the mscipartc and the 6anner.s use, articles of daily necessity handled by al1 classes from princes down to peasants.

cattle roam almost alt will If their cat tle are to be kept in good conhitions ranchmen now know that they must be kept away from surface water. No mat- ter how much they prefer such water, it works injury to them, and very often is the cause of heavy fatality among them.
 Such water is ftIA Of dlseass germs, as scientists have repeatedly demon- strated, and no living creature can drink in disease germs with impunity. It Is not too much to say that nine-tenths of the diseases that aff1ict chickens and other poultry, and alll four-footed beasts, are due Ito impure water. Our farmers are quick to see anything of a hurtful nature in the cotton fields, but they seem very obtuse to trouble among living creatures. Let them wauch those In weak condition, with view to aseertain- ing what kind of water they drink. ThA proportions we have named will, we are sure, be supported by such observa- taons.
 Why, indeed, should dumb animal be differently affected by disease germs than man or woman or child is? Pure water hs just as meedful to the one as to tfhs other. Impure water is the pro- 1ffic source of disease in either. The peo- pie of the south should ahaa1e off anEl- quaIted notions and begin to five up to the ursn nastakable teachings of the i1n- pregnable germ theory.
 Pure water is the heritage of the peo- pie. Ut Us natures elixir and the people have a right ito demand pure water. Unless 1t Joe pure the health and life of every living being which consumes it is uhreatened. To furnish impure water to a comimuni4ty is as bad as murder, and tfrere should be some decisive Legislation making it punishable by both fine and Imprisonment fer those who Will not pro- vide water absolutely pure.

Our Export Trade.
itors.

Birmingham iron flas gained an en- trance in foreign markets. and the foot hold there should be at least maintained. It is not too much to say that the com tinuous prosperity of tllis district de- bends upon it, for it means that our fur be brisk or shack in this country. It means a market for an the irou we can make, there being many more millions outside of this country than there are in it.
 President Seanch of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers expresses the common fear when he says: "It is a great mistake for any manufacturer to think that he can neglect his foreign customers when buyers at home are taking his goods with the expectation that he cain pick up his expert trade whenever thelne may be a stacking of orders from nearer customers"
 There is so much to us in Alarbama in a foreign demand for our iron thalb we desire to impress upon the minds of every iron man in Alabama these words of President Search. He sees that steady, continuous and persistent work is needed if AnnsTican goods are to supplant even in part the manufacturers of Eng land ard Germany. And American irpn has no easier road to travel than other goods from American mills have. Birmingham iron Should seek first, last and always foreign markets. Our ores are near the sea- and far from the greater rdentens of trade of this country Nature evidently intended our prolduc 8 to go to the sea. Let us hope then, that our contemplating manufacturers wifi not, under any demand that may spring up hepe, neglect a trade that flas been hand sonnely started If that trade be en- 1arged and widened at every opportuni- ty, no man can name the limit of the prosperity that WEI coms to all, and If the best of that prosperity falls to iron makers, who will say they do not de- serve it?
 In Pittsburg and Chicago export con- panies have been organized for the pur- pose of Ltlacing the products of their mills by the most forceful and syste- matic efforts. By means of agencies abroad and an abundance of capital at hone, they fJope to accomplish more than could be accomplished by separate ac- tion. An export company in the Bir- mingham district would keep us abreast of our competitors in Chicago and Pitts burg, and would also promote the coun- try's export trade fn irorE-something all desire ar.a something, too, that all are willing to bring about through friendly cooperation and assistance.

Cheaper Transportation.

The Wilmington, Delaware, Morning News predicts that during the next fif- ty years the building of waterways will take the place of the building of rail- roads," It must be that thsre are indi- cations of the culmination of the rail- road era Cheaper transportation is needed in many localities than the rail roads can furnish, and the countries that need such transportation are build ing canals. More, miles of canal are un- der construction today in Germany than of railroads, and this has been the situ- ation for several years. Canals are un- der consideration on a large scale in Russia and in France. Tn fact a revival of canal building has set in; and it Is based on the need of transportation at the lowest possible cost.
 Our Warrior canal meets exactly the new trend of enterprises. The coal and iron of the hills must be carried to the sea in olider to neach the markets of the country's interest as we'll that the two heavy products be carried to tide water alt figures that can only be had in a free all-the-year-roupd waterway. We can largely add to the country's ex- ports, if we have such a waterway. We can furnish both fuel and cargo for a large commerce from the gulf ports; we can do all the work nature intended us to do, equal to that provided for almost every trade or manufacturing center of Germany. In a word. the thirty-mile gap between Birmingham and the War rior river must be dredged out and the Warrior and Bigbee rivers made naviga- ble in the dry season, if we are to be put in an advantageous position to meet the products of competitors.
 The country cannot afford to let the wonderful wealth of these Alabama hills remain bottled up even in part. Give us access to the worlds markets, and we will surprise alike the people in those markets and the people at home with products of various forms and value. Nature has given US the raw material and we claim to have the necessary en- terprise, and the only thing lacking is waterway-just such a waterway as European iron centers possess, no bet ter. and no worse. An equal chance Is all we ask.
