South as permanency, and which be-
lieyes that the South's chief advantage
as cotton manufacturer will, in the
long run. be one Of nearness to the
plantations, says:
1T will be understood soon, no doubt,
that the South's greatest advantage in
cotton manufacturing is in having new
machinery and modern facilities of
production. The South is The natural
center for cotton manufacture, as We
have all along held. Territorially con
sidered, that is the ideal locality for
this industry. 1t is in close proximity
to the fields where the .iber is grown,
there being a large saving on this ac-
count in freights, and when the bale is
eliminated, which is to be the next
stage of development, and the cotton
is spun directly from the gin. another
important economy will be effected

1t is probably the opinion of a large
majority of the wisest friends of the

men to do the voting and hold the Of

justice in the courts of law, with fair

ease. it is obvious that equal political
privilege will never be exercised to
advantage, except as the race has built
itself up upon the foundations of edu
cation and thrift. 1t is wholly harmful

How Care Kills.

Wise people have long been aware
that care killed a cat" but 1t has been
left to the X rays to explain how and
why. DR.. Fritz LANCE Of Munich has
turned his fluOrescent screen upon the
stomach Of a happy and contented cat
and has seen the process Of digestion
going on as II should in all well regu-
lated stomachs. Then he has introduced
care and irritation into the feline mind
by placing a live mouse Just beyond
reach and has seen digestion stopped
thereby.
The Society For the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals may cry out on be-
half Of the cat, or the mouse, or both,
but the lesson against worrying is as
complete as any Christian Scientist
could desire. Worrying stops digestion,
causes dyspepsia, retards all the nor
NAL physical processes and demoralizes
both body and mind. 1t wastes the
forces Of life, destroying the tissues
without accomplishing anything.-Chi-
cagO Tribune.

Latham, In his edition Of Tacitus,

a victory with human sacrifices was
customary among our TeutOnic ances-

was either slain on the spot or else re-
served to be sacrificed to the gods.
Even when the progress Of agriculture
induced them to keep n majority Of
the prisoners alive to be slaves they
appeased the gods for this indignity
by increasing the fortunes inflicted on
the small remainder.
