Use of the Great Toe.

The negroes of the West Indies use
the great toe constantly in climbing.
Several years ago, while spending some
time at one Of the famous resorts in Ja-i
maica, had an opportunity observe
the skill with which the black women,
who do great part of the menial labor,
carried stone, mortar, and other build
ing materials on their heads to the top
of a five-story tower, in part Of the
hotel not then finished.
Much of the unerring accuracy with
which they (women and girls) chased
each other up and down the long lad
ders, with heavy loads skillfully poised
on their woolly pates, was due to the
firmness with which they grasped each
rung of the ladders with the great toe.
They did not place the ball or the hol-
low Of the foot on the rung, but the
groove at the juncture Of the great toe
with the body of the foot, and they
held fast by making the back Of the
other toes afford the other gripping sur
face. In much the same way the Abys-
sinian native cavalry grasp the stilrup.
And l have seen One-armed Santo
DOMINICAN black, astride the near OK in
wheel yoke, guiding lead mule with
ond toes, while his only arm was de-
voted to cracking his teamster's whip.

Mr.. Nestorius' telegram was in the hall
when Lord Lashmar returned to the cas-
tie. and Nestorius himself arrived at half
past nine o'clock next morning, startling
the select few who remained after the
shooters had gone off to their sport. Meth
or Lady Carminow nor Mrs. Vavasour
appeared at this early meal and Lady So
phia always accompanied the shooters
when there was no hunting; so the select
few on this occasion consisted Of Lord
Lashmar, Mrs. Mulciber and Captain Va
vasour, who had stayed at home to work
at new novel in which all his dramatis
personae were gradually coming to life
at an average Of eleven descriptive pages
for every character. On these burst Nes-

SOUTHERN TRADE FRUSTRATED
BY the Yellow Fever Bugaboo in Ma11y
of the STATES.

by the Yellow Fever BugaboO in Nauy
of the States.
very distressing state of affairs exists
in the States of Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana on account of the yellow fever
plague. These States have guarantees
against each other. Commerce has been
almost entirely abandoned in the southern
half of these States and the railroads have
practically ceased running. The plague
coming at the beginning of the cotton
marketing season will work an injury thar
it will probably require several years To
repair.
The panic that follows the announce
ment of Il case of yellow fever in Il South
ern town cannot he imagined elsewhere
This disease is the Southern bugaboo,
1t is mysterious malady that travels al
most entirely by night, and the physi-
clans have never learned much about it,
lhe disease in each epidemic is so differ
ent in its manifestations from what it
was in preceding epidemics that the ply
sicians are almost invariably misletL in
diagnosing the first cases that appear, and
the plague is epidemic in most places be-
fore it is recognized as yellow fever.
This has been the experience of al
most every city that has been affected
this year. Montgomery, Ala, had about
fifty eases, it is believed, before the cx-
istence of the disease was announced by
the Board of Health. Under the State
quarantine law every town, city. hamlet
and community stood quarantined against
Montgomery. The people became panic
stricken at once. The trains from there
had to pass through the State without
stopping, but as rapidly as they could be
filed into stations they were loaded down
with passengers. The mad rush has con-
tinucd almost up to this time.
The disease has within month spread
throughout the territory from New Or
leans to Memphis. Tenn, and Montgon-
cry. The death rate in the present cpl
de1nic is phenomenally small and the
greatest injury will therefore result from
interruption to business. Frost is due in
a few weeks and heavy frost is always
death to the epidemic.

audiences being present. At night inter
esting exercises were held in the Auditc-
rum. The building was packed, although
the exercises did not begin until 10
O'Clock, and were concluded only at mid
night. Addresses were delivered by Hon.
FULLY Brown, G. III. Baskctte, Director
General Lewis. Mrs. Kirkman, president
of the woman's board, and President
Thomas. The speakers reviewed the his
tory of the exposition. and congratulated
the people of Tennessee upon the success;
attending the great show. The speaking,
was followed by Il salute of sixteen guns
in honor of the first sixteen States Of the
Union. At midnight the chimes rang, the
whistles blew. the horns sounded and the
exposition was closed.
The total attendance at the exposition
since the opening on the first day Of last
May is estimated at / 100000. President
Thomas officially announced that the eN-
position will pay out dollar for dollar, anI
this promptly. The largest day of the
exposition was President ]. w. Thomas

chief of the bureau of promotion and pub

senseless yellow fever scare. Not Il sir

He was suffering from severe shock
occasioned by stroke Of lightning.
:'Your vocal organs are badly par
alyzed, but you will learn to speak in
time," said the hospital surgeon, as he
looked up from rigid examination Of
the patients injuries. 'The very best
thing for you to do is to go where you
can hear a great deal of talking"
The patient motioned for a writing
pad and when it was handed to him he
wrote in a firm, clear hand:
Il am married man."
The surgeon looked at the pad and
smiled in sympathy. Then turning to
his assistant he said:
"Get the gentlemans address and
send him home"

great fervor and elrnestncss. His ex-

directly to his death.
Henry George was born in Philadelphia
ON Sept. 3, 1889, and as a boy went to
California. He drifted into journalism
i'll San Francisco and attained some celeb
rity as IL writer on political theories. In
1879 he published Progress and Poverty,
which acquired a worldwide reputation.
In it he gave the result of his investiga-
tions among the poor of the great cities
and his theories for reform. About the
same time he first expressed his plan of
taxing property on single value-that is,
taxing the land itself and not the i'm
provements thereon. This was the origin
of the single tax doctrine.
In 1880 he removed to New York. The
following year he published a volume on
Ireland and England. His publications
of various theories ON political economy
made him cne of the best known men in
the country. In 1886 he w;,s the candi-
date of the laboring element for Mayor
of New York, but was defeated by Abram
S. Hewitt by $4,000 votes. He led Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the Republican nominee,
by 5000 votes. Ever since then Mr..
George has been more or less identified
with political movements.

DEATH OF HENRY GEORGE.

to Apoplcxy.
HenrJ George, the apostle of single ta:,
died suddenly at 5 o'clocl Friday morning
in his room at the Union Square Hotel,
New York City. Apoplcxy was the cause.
Mr.. George made four speeches Thursday
night in his campaign as candidate for
Mayor of Greater New York, and was
very fatigued when he retired. 1t is be-
lieved the sudden attack that ended his
life was brought on by the unusually Sc
we're strain occasioned by his speech-mak-
ing.
Henry George was the mayoralty cam
didate of the silver Democrats of Greater
New York. He had made up to the night
before his death red hot campaign, in
which he promised, if elected, to do his
best to send Richard Croker to the peni-
tentiary. TO his denuncAtions of Croker
he added denunciations of Senator Thom-
as q. Platt. He had entered the contest
With great earnestness, and his campaign

Most Durable Wood.

A London paper claims that teak
is the most durable wood known for
structural and mechanical purposes. 1t
is hard, yet light, easily worked, and,
though porous, shrinks little, and be-
cause of it's oily nature does not injure
iron. In Southeastern Asia it is much
used for shipbuilding. The wood is
frequently girdled a year before it is
felled, and thus exposed to sun and
wind it seasons more rapidly than
when cut green.

A Plague of Rats.

While mosquitoes have come with the

rats have multiplied in New Orleans.
The city swarms with them. "They
scamper over the sidewalks, assail fam
lilies at dinner, and even run along
telegraph wires," says a newspaper.

Gov. Rogers of Washington has pro-

State Treasurer Young's accounts. He
has announced that he in company with

count all the money in the treasury.
In order that the Governor may have as
much enjoyment us possible cut OF his

self-appointed job, Mr.. Young has chang
ed every piece of gold and paper cur
rency in the treasury to its equivalent in
silver cartwheel dollars. This will enable
the Governor and his assistant to bend
their backs, lame their wrists and con-
sumo good deal of valuable time in
counting 12O tons of silver dollars. More
over, Treasurer Young will not permit
either the Governor or the judge to enter
the treasury without giving bonds.
