A California doctor has invented system
that he calls "equisine incubation" which
he asserts will destroy the hereditary alco-
holic faint in children. A plaque containing
serum from a properly alcoholized horse is
bound upon a scarified place on the child s
arm and kept there several days, during
which time it is supposed that enough Sc
rum is absorbed into the system to destroy
any latent alcoholic tendency-on the prin-
ciple, presumably, that like cures like. The
nonscientifc person reading of these things
may or may not have opinions as to the
efficacy of such treatment, but the wonder
must arise as to what will eventually be the
character of the blood of the person who
has had all the serums injected into him
that have yet been invented, to say nothing
of the others that are yet to be developed.
1t seems likely that the up-to-date person
OF the twentieth century will omit none of
these scientific precautions and will thus
have immunity from all the standard dis
eases; but will all the ant-alcoholic and
anti-tuberculosis and anti-smallpox and vel
low fever germs and all the rest live in
harmony together? If they should see fit
to wage war on each other, will not the
last condition of the one who harbors them
be worse than the first?

According to all accounts the Daughters
Of the American Revolution, who are now
holding u congress in Washington, are
likely TO have a lively time of it in elect
ing their officers, much rivalry and very
warm politics having developed in the or
ganizaton. Il women do not know anything
about real politics when they get the right
OF outrage it will be because they have
forgotten the tricks they learned in the
d. A. r., the w. c. T. u, the Equal suf-
frage Association. the club decorations and
ali the rest. Perhaps these organizations
are to be regarded in the light of prepare
tory SCHOOLS for public life.

The Brown County Banner. new paper.
started few weeks ago. at Nashville. is
publishing series of editorials with the
caption, "Tibi Serbs, Tibi Metis." The one
in the last issue at hand opens as follows:
In our former article we got at least a
glimpse at man as a rational, responsible
acting factor of society-possessing human
nature and a capacity to resist and reject
or correspond with the benign influence in
measure fashioned by his environments
and constantly indebted to his environments
all that right and duty implies. There is no
such thing as withdrawing or Withholding
from the world or community-man must
live in touching relation and for good or
evil. While life in plant and flesh lasts it
moves by impulses over which it has no
control. Man can guide his little barque
upon life's sea. but to refuse 10 shed forth
an influence-to suspend life and its impress
sionS he never can. His value as an integral
part of society as a whole seems almost in
significant, and yet he is the greatest work
Of Coda microcosm within himself. and to
get the victory and TO overcome himself is
to get the victory and overcome the world.
AS the Banner is weekly paper it may
take some time to exhaust this subject.

Many readers will be surprised to learn
that the worlds output of beet sugar is
twice as much as that of cane The worlds
total product last year was 1885 900 tons, of
which 4925,0O0 tons were made from beets
and 100000 tons from cane. Germany
raised more than one-fourth of the com
mercial sugar of the world 900 tons
France, which once led in the industry,
and where it had its origin, raised $40, 600
tons, while Austria-Hungary follows with
S25,WO tons, and Russia with 100000 TONS
Coming to the cane sugar countries, Cuba
last year raised $4,000 tons less of cane
sugar than little Belgium did of beet. This,
however, is due to the so-called civil war
III Cuba. Java is the leading producer of
cane sugar, 56O, 900 tons. The United States
ranks second as producer of cane sugar
with $4,000 tons. The Sandwich islands, so
much feared by the Sugar Trust, raised but
100000 tons. The development of the beet
sugar industry in Germany is most remark
able. This is not because the soil and cli-
mate are better suited to it than those of
other countries, but because the very small
farms and the cheapness of labor make it
possible to get more out of a beet crop
than any other. 1t has also been stimulated
by an export bounty. Yet the consumption
of sugar per capita in Germany is not near
as great as i'll the United States

Those who have read the history of the
times of George Washington SO as to re-
member occurrences must be reminded of
his troubles by the present efforts of a few
persons to push the country into war with
Spain. Compared with the whole people, it
was a larger minority which labored to en-
broil his administration in war with Great
Britain in the interest of France. He had
much greater provocation to make war
with England than we have with Spain,
yet he resisted, and because he resisted
he was denounced as one who was design
ing to betray his country to Great Britain
or as lacking in courage. There were no
yellow newspapers then, but there were
some very abusive sheets, and they were
filled with vituperaton for Washington.
They are forgotten or remembered to be
detested, but George Washington lives for
Immortality.

DIVORCE.

~ beautiful wedding was solemnlzed'
is the opening sentence IN a notice which
one of our Southern exchanges gives Of
a marriage that occurred in the city in
which 1t Is published.
There is significance in the expression.
In the South marriage is a solemn cere-
mony. If not a sacrament of the church
and is so regarded by the Southern peo-
PIE. 1t is an estate to be entered into
not lightly or irreverently. but so.emnly
ia The fear of God. Hence IT Is rare
thing. comparatively speaking. that there
are suits for divorce in the Southern
courts.
We are led TO these reflections by rea-
son Of the fact that the Episcopal Coun-
Gil during the past week was occupied In
a most serious discussion Of the ques-
tior Of divorce. 1t is a question truly
in which the church is seriously con-
oerned. because in the North and the
West divorce suits are getting to be
alarmingly numerous, but 1t is a subject
about which the South Is not yet trou-
bling Itself. Our young men and wo-
men are reared with the idea that mar
riage is a holy estate and that it is
conirac; for life. When they marry 1t Is
with that understandings and there IS
no thought that the tie will ever be dis
solved except by the death Of one or the
other Of the parties to the contract. 1t
is rarely In Southern society that either
man or wife gives sufficient provocation
for divorce. and even when the provoca-
ton is great so much respect have they
for the marriage tie that they Will suffer
long and patiently before either will ask
the courts 10 interfere.
We have kept pretty vel Informed OF
current events in Virginia for the past
twenty years or more. yet we can recall
less than half a dozen notable divorce
cases in this State during that period
and what Is true Of Virginia is true we
believe of the Southern States generally
There have been many innovations since
the war and new customs have been
introduced from other sections into the
South but we thank God that the South
has made no departure in this direction
Marriage and the home circle are still
sacred and dear 10 the Southern people

VERY SMALL PIECE OF BUSl-
NESS

Some time ago a gold standard news
paper in Virginia gave currency 10 a re-
port that free silver newspaper in the
Tenth District was not giving the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in that dis
,rict its cordial support. the reason be-
ina that the paper was owned I'm part
bv the Hon. VI. ID. Flood. the defeated
candidate before the district convention.
The free silver paper In question prompt
Ia denied that Senator Flood then had or
had ever had any pecuniary interest in
II and that he had no sort OF control over
the papers policy.
In noting he accident we took occasion
TO pay a TT butte TO Mr.. Floods frankness.
we said that although Mr.. Flood believed
in party organization. (which being IN
terpreted means machine politics, AID
one Of the cardinal principles Of machine
nolitics IS that II IS "a duty to Win" yet
We would say for him that he had never
mnde any concealfnent Of that fact. That
Mr.. Flood was outspoken In his political
creed and that we did not believe him
caoable of advocating the election of any
man on the stump and at the same time
of stabblng him through the columns Of
n newspaper In short We paid Mr.
Flood n compliment. which we have rea-
son 10 believe that he accepted in good
faith. Yet the Fsrmvilie Herald gar
