THE GREENLEE CASE.

Yesterday we published III full the opin-
ion of our State Supreme court in the
Greenlee case. Six years ago the court
held that if a passenger was injured
from the lack of self-couplers the rail
road was liable for negligence. This
opinion holds that the 10000 railroad en-
pIoyees in this State are entitled to the
equal protection Of the laws. The opin-
ion shows that 5000 employees are an
nually killed or wounded in this country
on railroads from not having self-couplers
and that the defendant having issued
S76.557 per mile Of bonds and stocks
should be able to go to the expense of SIS
per car (the cost Of putting in self-coup-
lers) to save the lives and limbs Of its
employees.

MEANING OF MoRRo CASTLE.
Asheville Citizen.

Asheyille Citizen.
Many persons are wondering that
there is .'morro castle" at Havana
and fort of similar name at Santiago,
MS well as one of that name at san
Juan. Porto Rico The explanation is
that the Spanish word MORO means
anything round; or projecting over an
eminence: an overhanging like of a
precipice;' Il high headland looking OIL
towards the sea. Here, naturally, a fort
would be placed if there was q city
near by to be defended, and hence the
association Of the name with any Span,
ish fertilization placed on an elevated
harbor-guarding eminence.

GOLD-BUGS BUYING MEXICAn

.Asherille Citizen.

OF the wicked, dishonest and fraud
ulent (see gold bug speeches in last cam
paign) Mexican dollars the great gov
eminent of the United States has bought
$50 600, and may buy more. Why! Be
cause these 40 cent dollars" have q
greater purchasing power in Manila than
have the American. gold-backed silver
dollars. Who would have thought that
in our first great war crisis of thirty
years the gold dollars Of the United
States would be passed by, and the dol
lars Of a free silver nation be bought, by
the hundreds of thousands, with which
to pay soldiers and sailors of the United
States army and navy? Surely, Won

spirit of patriotism which opened recruit

Mr.. Bryan is not the son of Cabinet

is not even nephew of IA Governor nor of

no claim whatever to commission on
ancestral grounds. and the tritling cir
cumstance that something more than six
millions Of his fellow-citizens considered
him qualified to serve rs commandcr-in-

why he has been persistently snubbed in

SIT ON THE FLOOR.
The Advantages to Be Derived From the
Abolition of Chairs.


Abolition of Chairs.
An eminent English physician, Sir
James Crichton Browne, who has wonder
full aptitude for making medical subjects
interesting to the public at large, an
nounces that men and women would de-
rive great benefit from sitting on the floor
instead Of chairs Women would benefit
even more than men by the practice.
The position of sitting on tho floor or
the ground Is more natural than TINT Of
sitting on u chair. 1t was once general
with tho entire human race. 1t is both
healthy and natural
The exercise Of getting up from and
down to the floor is beneficial. Through
the general adoption of the sitting posi-
ton among the civilized races many mus
clos have become stiff or obsolete Persons
who sit on the floor have strong back and
thigh muscles. Turks, tnilors and shoe
makers arc examples of this fact
If you sit on the floor, you can change
your attitude as often AS you please and
can enjoy an endless variety of pose. and,
however often you alter it and however
you may place yourself, there is never any
chance of your falling Of. If you sit on
the floor, you can achieve all kinds of
comfortable positions which it is impossi
bic to obtain even with the easiest of easy
chairs. The Influx of visitors need never
cause anxiety to the well constitutional
mind on the subject of chairs All he has
to provide is q quantity of cushions-cush-
ions OF every size and shape. Let guests
select any they please, and it will be their
own fault if they are not comfortable and
happy.
1t is Of course only desirable to sit on a
clean hoor.-Exchnnge

EARLY USES OF GLASS.

KNOWN First to the Egyptians, but Brought
to Perfection by che Romans.
In an interesting article on "Ornamen-
tai Glass In All Ages" in The Woman's
Home Companion Orlenn L. Shnckleford
has this to say of the antiquity of glass:
The Egyptians used glass ornaments
largely for personal decoration Neck.
lsces, bracelets, beads scarabei, ETC.. OF
exquisite beauty have been discovered in
their tombs 1t also served to bedeck
clothing, and innumerable domestic OBJ
jects were made of 1t for daily use. In
deed this accommodating medium was
adapted by them to an infinity of pur-
poses, being blown, cast, rolled wrought
or cut, as the worker willed, whether into
statues OF their gods OF us glass eyes for
the sightlcss sockets Of their 1nummies,
to express the wish of the soul to arrive
safe and whole at the end of it's journey
The Romans excelled the Egyptians as
extensive users Of glnss. 1t served them
for decoration to walls and floors, for all
sorts OF domestic vessels, cinernry urns
ana collins (the Egyptians buried Alexan-
Ger the Great in Il glass coffin), for orna-
ments, toys, dice, draughts, chcssmen and
water clocks. We read OF u table of solid
emerald that was carried off by the Goths
when they sacked the Eternal City, but it
Is now considered not to have been Of
precious stone, only fine green glass or
Jasper, yet deemed sufficiently valuable to
be set with pearls and mounted in gold.
'Those great builders the most prac-
tlcal OF antiquity, were not slow to realize
the value of this transparent medium rs q
means for transmitting light into their
palaces and temples but their window
panes were only FROM to 10 inches
square, and the glass was more green than
white, lacking tho crystal clcnrneSs of our
modern productions. Glass mirrors were
known to the Egyptians and Romans.
Specimens have been found In the tombs
OF the former, and documentary evidence
from Pliny. Seneca Iucretius and others
undoubtedly proves their possession by the
latter. Glass WAS used for lamps in Pom
peii, but we have no evidence of its being
applied to such purpose in Egypt, where

mental and decorative rather than domes-
tic purposes -
