Not Complete without Also Visiting
Asheville, N. c., "The Land of the
sky"
The cold wave has struck the North, but
it has not struck Florida; nor does il ever
strike The Land of the Sky" located
around Asheville and Hot Springs in West
ern North Carolina.
A great deal has been written about Flor
ida, but not SO much about this Wonder
full Land of the Sky" People who visit
Florida have, within the past few years, be-
gun to appreciate the worth of Western
North Carolina as a resort, both as to
health and pleasure, and a trip to Florida
is now hardly worth the making unless,
either on going, or on the return trip, or, in
fact, both, be made via Ashcville. The
Southern railway grants stop-over privileges
on all Tourists Tickets at Asheville and Hot
Springs, and an opportunity Is offered to
see the beautiful new Vanderbilt mansion
at that point, and also to enjoy the mag
nifcent scenery. Asheville is not only a
place blessed with beautiful mountain
scenery but is also provided with the best
hotels to be found anywhere; they are mod
ern in every particular. The travel to Flor
ida this season has been good and the South
crn Railway with its three routes (via the
Illinois Central through Holly Springs; via
its line from Louisville and Via the Queen
& Crescent route from CincinnatD has done
q large passenger business. Through Pull
man cars are run, and there is very little
trouble to make the trip these times, since
the Southern Railway has arranged sched-
ule almost to point of perfection. The
Southern Railway Passenger Department in
the section of the country is represented by
Mr.. j. c. Beam, N. w. P. A., at Ill Adams

PRISON-LABOR PROBLEM.
How to Avoid Competition Between Con.
vict and Free Labor.

How to Avoid Competition Between Con-
Wet and Free Labor.
The prison-labor problem presents
difficulties at every turn. The aboli-
ton of the contract system of dispos-
ing OF prison labor was undoubtedly a
wise step, but it by no means effected
solution of the problem. The compe-
tition of prison made goods with the
product of free labor is bad thing.
yet it must be remembered that the con-
victs can scarcely be employed at all
without competing more or less with
outside labor. In the nature of things
this must be SO. If the convicts were
not in prison they would be at work
outside competing with other laborers.
Seeing the demoralizing effect upon the
market of prison-made goods, leaders of
organized labor have asked that con-
victs be employed in making goods for
use by the state and its political sub
divisions. In accord with this sugges-
ton, which has decided merits, Gov.
Tanner has recommended that convicts
be employed in making text books for
use in the public schools. And, natur-
ally enough, though certainly incon-
sistent, at meeting at which the gen
eral policy of employing prisoners in
the manufacture of goods for the state
was commended, the particular PROPOSE
ton to employ them in making text
books was condemned by the represen-
tation of the printers that was in at
tendance. This episode serves to illus
trate the difficulty and complexity of
the problem, and should inspire in all
a spirit of federation in considering the
subject.
The only way prisoners can be en-
ployed without competing directly with
free labor is to put them to work on pub
lie improvements that could not be con-
structed for years to come but for the
utilization upon them of labor of this
sort. In this way there may be secured
improvements of inestimable value for
all time that the public might not have
felt warranted in constructing under
other circumstances. There is no doubt
that good roads would be worth almost
any amount to a community, but Il is
impossible to get taxing
bodies to take from the people the sums
necessary for their construction. Max
ing of good roads would be in many re-
spects ideal employment for portion
of the states convicts. and the PROPOSE
ton SO to employ them has been revived
in New York. The chief objection to
the plan. peculiarly enough, is a senti-
mental one. II is argued that the pop
ular sense would revolt at the sight
Of convicts under guard at work In the
presence of the public. This objection
has some weight, but II should not be
made to appear insuperablcs-- Chicago |

HOLIDAYS THE WORLD OVER.
In Latin-American Countries tho People

In Latin-American Countries tho People
Work Only 200 Days In the Year.
A computation made short time ago
showed that among European coun-
tries the two in which wages were high
est and the hours of labor least were
England and France, whereas the two
countries in which wages were small
est and the hours of labor longest were
Italy and Russia. In some countries of
the world an explanation of the appar-
ent dsarth of progressive industry
among the inhabitants is to be found,
perhaps, in the recurrence of holidays
of a religious, patriotic or purely social
character, and many persons who are
familiar with the industrial usages in
some cities of South and Central America
say that there the number of holidays
seems to exceed the number of work.
ing days. There are in such countries
usually not fewer than dozen church
festivals; and there arc besides patriot
ic festivals. A similar state of affairs
exists in all Latin countries, and is to
be found in the United States, too, when
one turns to the legal festivals of Lou
isiana. There is the holiday of jan
uary 8, concentrating the battle of
New Orleans; the Mardi Gras on March
2 in New Orleans; Confederate Mem
orial day in April, Good Friday, All
Saints day, election day, Louisiana
Labor day, on November25, and Thanks
giving and Christmas days. Florida eel
ebrates the birthday of jefferson Davis,
Texas the anniversary of the battle of
San Jacinto, and Alabama the days Of
Mardi Gras. Deducting the Sundays
and holidays the number of working
days in the United States, exclusive of
the Gulf states, is 30S. In Russia there
are 2G7 working days; Great Britain has
27s; Portugal, 2s3; Spain, 800; Austria,
200; Italy, POS; Bavaria. Belgium and
Brazil, 300 each; Denmark, France, Nor
way, SaXony, Switzerland and Wurtem-
burg, 302 each; Sweden, 304; Prussia
and ireland, 305; the Netherlands, 30S;
Hungary, 312.
1t has been found impossible to get
any accurate figures from the South
American counties, but 200 is the max
imum estimate of actual working days
in many of them. OF course, if the
number of Sundays be subtracted from
the total number of days in year there
are left 313, and if one-third of the other
days available for work are set apart
for holiday purposes, it is perfectly
clear that there should not be more
than 200 working days in u year. In
.Anglo-Saxon countries and in the
United States the special effort of work
ingmen has been not to reduce the
days of labor, but the hours of labor in
in the last 20 years larger reduction.

PRoPAGATING TANK.
One Can BE Made at Home at a Really
Trlning Expense.


Trining Expense.
Most farmers, particularly those rails
ing early vegetables, sometimes wish
they had good propagating tank for
starting cuttings. Many an odd dollar
can be picked up in the spring with
few hundred lowering plants or early
tomato and lettuce plants. A little sand
table, with gentle heat, would be very
handy in the house. A hotbed may be
inconvenient or troublesome and
small greenhouse out of the question.
Such propagating tank suitable for
window can be easily made by any tin
smith or gas filter. Have the gas man
join up with elbows" three pieces of
common inch gas pipe; two pieces, a a,
three inches long and one piece, b, five
feet long. Joined up, they would look
like Fig. 1. Have zinc box made five
feet long, two feet wide and six inches
deep and made water-tight. At one
end, in the middle, cut two holes, so
that the piece of gas pipe can be laid
in the box, resting on the bottom and
projecting two inches beyond the box.
Fig. shows how the pipe is placed on
the box. The openings where the pipe
enters the box are to be soldered up wa
ter-tight. The box is then placed on
table with the pipe end of the box pro-
!iecting beyond the table as seen in Fig.
3. The box il then filed with water,
covering the top Of the pipe as shown by
the dotted line, C. Place in the water
pieces of brick and on the brick lay
pieces of roofing slate to form loose
slate top two inches from the top of the
box and half an inch above the top of
the water, as shown at d. Leave u small
hole in one corner of the slate to supply
water to the tanks. Fill the whole top
of the box over the slate with sand, e.
In this sand cuttings can be raised, as
the tank, when in operation, will be full
of warm water, giving a gentle bottom
heat for the cuttings.
For heat use small kerosene lamp,
I, placed directly under that part of the
pipe which projects beyond the box.
The engraving shows the position of
the box on the table and the lamp.

SANITATION AND HUMAN LIFE.
Nowadays Cities Are Nearly as Healthy
ms the Country.


ms the Country.
In n recent lecture on what sanitation
has done for human life, Prof. Brewer,
of Yale university, said that no one
doubts that human life has been pro-
longed by the application of science in
the last so years. How much mathe-
matically this amounts to in years, in
per cent, is an unanswerable question.
We can never have the data in figures.
Even if we had our vital statistics COM
pleted for that period men would differ
as to the relative value of the several
factors in this problem. Our great cities
would not exist-they could not exist
without the aids of science. We have
had the ancient Egyptian and Greek
and Roman civilizations, which were
pagan, and later Christian civilization,
and all were powerless to convert prac-
tees. Between the epidemics that
ragged from time to time and the high
death rate inthe best years, the popula-
ton of Europe as whole probably
scarcely increased at all for 1000 or
1900 years. This century came in with
out a single city in Christendom with
100000 inhabitants. Paris had in 1900
but 54S,000; London and the suburbs,
in 1901, S64,s45. The other great Eng
lish cities had less than 100000. Great
cities could not endure then. First, the
people could not be fed. Then, most of
the population had to be fed and food
produced within 20 miles of the place of
consumption. Science has now made
1t possible to transport food halfway
around the globe and has discovered
new methods of preservation as well.
City population was not self-perpetuat-
ing. Man died off; the death rate was
continually high and from time to time
there was death by pestilence. Even
where there were sewers they were
