Why NE sHouIp XoRk.

This is why the people Of the south
should take heart and 60 to work.
Let financial legislation do its
worst; let political discrimination
exhaust itself; let the elements and
Vaccinations Of men do their worst,
they can't plack the cotton from
our fields nor rob our mines Of their
treasures. When all the prosperity
exists in the green, where will it be
in the dry. when every resource is
developed and millions OF busy men
are at work?

The average rates under the Nc
Kinley tariff of 1890 as computed
by treasury experts was 1855 per
cent, that is on every hundred dol
lars Of importations the tax was
$40 So, as against 1904 per cent
of the Wilson bill. Now the
Dingley bill comes to cap the eli
max of high protection with an
average of 57.O3 per cent. As
usual, under Republican rule, the
manufacturers, trusts and combines
got all they asked for, and they
are floating on the Mckinley ''wave
of prosperity"

Speech suddenly Restored.

A child who had for some years been
speechless from what appeared to be
paralysis of the vocal chords had been
under treatment at an institution for
deaf mutes in the hope that something
might be done to restore her lost fac
ulty. The physicians had failed to pro-
duce any effect and the little one was
to be sent home as incurable. The chill
dren who were recovering their powers
of speech were singing fayorite and
inspiring hymn, when the child, with
out the slightest warming, Joined in the
chorus and sang heartily and with tod
cradle enunciation. Later she pro
nounced several words and spoke with
tolerable ease. The doctors are some
what puzzled and can give no satisfac-
tory explanation Of the curious eircum-

the assistance he could to the popular
revolution in Saxony and Baden. His
work in that campaign placed his head
in jeopardy, and he fed to Switzerland
and thence to America. Here he found
employment on the Stats Zeitung, and
when Jacob Uhl, the proprietor, died,
his widow intrusted much of the man
agement of the property to Mr.. Often
dorfer. On the marriage of the brilliant
German with Mrs. Uhl the property OF
the Stats Zeitung passed into his pos
session. This was as long ago as 1859
and since that time he has directed the
editorial and business affairs of the
greatest German paper in America with
striking success. His eminence and i'm
portance in this field brought him into
contact with leading men and politi'
clans. He was an alderman in 1872, and
in 1874 was a candidate for mayor. Mr.
Ottendorfer is public spirited and his
candidacy would be acceptable to many

Wonderful Power Possessed by Fam
ME Hester, of Georgia.
A strange exhibition of wonderful
power was recently given in the pres
ence of Gov. w. G. Atkinson, of Georgia.
The demonstration occurred in the gov
ernor's reception7room in the capitol
at Atlanta, and the possessor of the
marvellous power was Miss Fannie Hes
ter, of Greene county, Ga.
The first experiment tried with the
young lady before Gov. Atkinson and
his party was with silver dollar. This
was placed near the palm of her hand,
and the muscles Immediately began
to twitch and jump. Several of those
present felt her hand, and noticed the
strange pulsation. A large, round stick
was then placed in her hand, and as long
as it touched the palm it kept constantly
in motion, whirling around with great
rapidity. Several tried to push against
her, but she could not be moved from
her tracks. The governors private sec

FOLLOWING THE HOUNDS.

1t is not alone in exceptional recreations
like fox hunting, that woman needs steady
nerves, strong muscles and healthy, Wig
orous constitution. She needs them in her
every day duties and pleasures. Recently
a Buffalo lady called upon DIR. r. v. Pierce
of that city and stated that she was so nerv-
Gus that after months of trial she could
not learn to ride bicycle.
She was put under a scientific course of
treatment, consisting of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery before meals and his
"Favorite Prescription " after meals. The
"Favorite Prescription" promptly cured
the weakness and disease of the organs dis
tincr1y feminine, from which she suffered
and restored strength and steadiness to the
nerves. The Golden Medical Discovery
cleansed the blood making it pure, rich
and invigoratirg, and built up solid, mus
cul2r flesh. The lady now rides her bicycle
with grace and ease and without trepida-
ton. Both medicines are for sale by medi-
cine dealers. DR.. Pierce answers letters
from ailing women without charge.

Constitution of Gases,

In his new work entitled THE Con.
stitution and Functions of Cases." s.
j. Corrigan, of st. Paul Mimi, has ad'
yanced a new and interesting theory Oh
the constitution of gases. Heretofore
it has generally been believed that the
molecules of a gas are in continual mo-
ton, and the pressure exerted by a gas
is due to ''bombardment" by millions of
these flying particles. Mr.. Corrigan
considers the molecule at rest, and COM
posed of large number of atoms, which
continually describe orbits about its
center with great velocities. AS the gas
becomes rarer the "orbits" increase in
size, and the pressure of the gas is pro-
portional to the angular velocity of the
atoms in their orbits.

THE UNTIDY MEN.
The Austin Statesman says:

The Austin Statesman says:
"a neat and refined woman may sub
NIT to slovenly habits in her husband
If his genius is above such trivialities
but unless there is something very
charming about an untidy man, we do
not see how it is possible for wife's
affection for such husband to last
long. We confess that there is a large
field for reform in this respect among
the male sex, and the best reformers
in this line are the wives of the coun-
try. More than two-thirds of the until
dy men in the country are so from an
indifference that grows upon them, and
1t is growing so fast that it may not be
an exaggeration to say that two-thirds
of these untidy men are becoming from
that same indifference absolutely un-
pleasant to the olfactories as well as
the eye"
1t is evident from what the States
man says that there is pressing need
of reform in Texas and the wives in
that state should take their husbands
in hand without delay and call a halt
on masculine slovenliness. The best
way to do it, perhaps, is for women to
hold a convention and devise some plan
for the encouragement of the soap US
ing habit, and to impress on the men
the fact that water is used otherwise
than as a traitor to a drink of Pixies
Magnolia. The Texans must not be
permitted to become wild and woolly
