Daniel Boone's Dream.

In tho pioneer days Daniel Boone
lost companion in the kentucky
wilderness. He failed to find him
after prolonged search, but never
forgot the incident. The Louisville
Post records the following account
of a remarkable dream of Boone,
given by his granddaughter.
"Sevcral years after the disap-
pearancc Of the hunter Boon went
back to tho woods where he had
parted from his friend. One night
while sleeping at his campfire he
dreamed of finding human skeleton
and gun in big hollow tree. The
dream was 80 vivid that when the
hunter awoke he still had distinct
mental picture of the tree and it's
surroundings, and believed he could
go to the spot. The hunter lay
awake the rest of the night thinking
about his dream, and az soon as day
light came started out in the direction
his thoughts had taken when asleep.
Tho woods seemed familiar, as he
had seen them in his dreams, and the
hunter walked on briskly, guided by
the impression the sleeping vision
had left. He found the big hollow
tree just as ne had seen it in his
sleep, and looking into the large
cavity near the ground discovered a
complete human skeleton and an old
rusty flintlock rifle. The fulfllment
of the dream was 80 perfect that the
hunter always believed that he was
guided in this way to the remains OF
his lost friend. Ho supposed that
his companion got lost in the woods,
and when night overlook him crawl
ed into the hollow tree to sleep, and
there died of some disease. Had the
Indians killed tho man they would
have certainly taken his gun"

The South and the Tariff.

The American Economist, 1876
West 23d street, Now York, is de-
voted to the support of high pro-
tective tariff as the foundation of
prosperity, high prices for labor and
universal progress. The editor is
unrelenting in his opposition to a
tariff for revenue only, and he be-
lieves that the hope of the South
rests oon the protection of all indus
tries. The following is an editorial
from last weeks issue
"Since the return of prosperity
under protection, as exemplifed in
the Dingley law, many factories have
been built and many new enterprises
started in the Southern States. The
people Of the South are waking up
to the value of manufacturing COM
panies and are willing to make great
efforts to secure the establishment of
such Industries in the South. A
commercial club has been organized
in Greenfield, Tennessee, for the pur-
pose of promoting industrial enter
prise. The dispatch which an.
nounced the formation of this club
added: 'Tho people of this commu-
nifty want manufacturing interests OF
any and all kinds, and they are now
ready to offer liberal inducements to
get Them
GAS soon as manufacturing indus
tries become established in the South
and at the present rate of com
mercial progress that time is not fal
distant-the people of the South
will wake up to realizing sense ol
the value and necessity of protec.
tive tariff. The hour has struck for
the disappearance of a Solid South
united to support free trade. The
Southern people will not, merely fol
the sake of loyalty to a false theory
long adhered to, consent to give ur
the great prosperity which has come
to them through protection in ex,
change for the industrial ruin which
resulted from the first stop toward
free trade taken in 1894"

present plan by any means. There
were not one-fourth as many people
then and not one-tenth as many
vehicles and not one-twentieth as
much travelling then as now, and then
the roads were newer and the clay
not disturbed. Neithor does it prove
that either plan is the proper plan to
meet the condition Of tho present
day. Any kind of dirt will make a
good road in the summer when the
farmers do not need roads much, but
during the fall and winter, when the
farmers are hauling their crops to
market and hauling their fertilizers
back to the farms, they are praoti-
cally without roads, as we saw this
winter. 1t is basic proposition
that we cannot make good roads,
pertinent roadways, out of dirt.
That has been shown to demon
stration this winter. We must have
something better. 1t has come to
be al absolute necessity. The blame
does not rest with the officers Of the
law. We have before referred to
the policy of the State with regard
to the convicts, and we repeat it, we
want to see change in it. There
are six convict farms in Anderson
county on which there are nearly 100
convicts employed. What are they
worth to the public? Nothing.
But if Supervisor Snelgrove had
those 100 convicts and q rock crusher
he could build Is miles of macada-
mized roadway in year and ten
years of such work would give us
150 miles of permanent roadway

Pets and Disease.

Medical journals here and abroad
arc again discussing the danger OF
contracting diseases from animals,
especially pets. Papers presented
at the French Congress demonstrated
that "aviary and human tuberculosis
are essentially the same pathologic
process due to the same germ modi
fed by cultural environment, but
convertible under favorable ciroum-
stances one into the other"
The Scientific American, follow
ing the Medical News, in this field,
brings together an array of facts
which ought to cause pc pie who
keep pots or who have little ones
that keep pets to do some thinking
Says the Scientific American
can Englishman has found that
more than ten per cent of canaries
and other song birds that die in cap
tivity succumb to tuberculosis, and
parrots have come in for a share OF
condemnation in this connection
BY far the larger number of mon
keys who die in captivity are car
ried off by tuberculosis, and while,
fortunately, tho keeping of monkey i
as house pets is not very general, at
the same time there is some danger
Of contagion.
"Nocard, the greatest living au,
thority on tuberculosis in animals
and the man to whom we owe the
best culture methods for the tubercle
bacillus, found in series of autop.
sizes on dogs that out of 200 success.
sive autopsies on unsolicited dogs
that died at the great veterinary
school at Alfort, near Paris, in more
than one-half the cases there were
tubercular LESSONS, and in many OF
them the LESSONS were of such cha
acter as to make them facile and
plenteous disscminators of infcctive
tubcrculous materials.
"Parrots are known to be suscopti-
bic to disease peculiar to them.
selves, and number of fatal cases
in human beings of what was at first
supposed to be malignant influenza
pneumonia was traced to the bacillus
which is thought to be the cause OF
the parrot disease. Cats are known
to sometimes have tuberculosis, and
that they have many cases been car.
riers of diphtheria, and other ordi.
nary infections, is more than sus.
pected."
Parents should be careful in this
matter. 1t seems to be fact that
many children are thus diseased, and
no doubt, many die from such con.
tact. Too much fondling Of tabby
in baby's arms should be discouraged
and kissing the cat absol' tcly pro
hibited.

Our Lossos In Two Wars Compared.

The aggregate strength of the troops
employed in the war with Spain was
Approximately 2G7,000, covering a
period from May, 1893, to April,

deaths from all causes amounted to
6,100, or 24 per cent. Tho mean
strength for the first year of the
Civil War was 276,371, and the ag-
gregate loss by deaths from all causes
