Nature teaches the calf to turn its
mouth upward to get its food. The un-
willingness of the calf to put it's head
down into pail is the result of in
stinct. Some have thought to offset this
instinct by never allowing the calf to
suck its dam even once. but we think
this Injuries the calf 1t needs stimula-
ton when first born and should be al
lowed to get it in the way most natural
to it In sucking the teat the milk
comes slowly, and a good deal of saliva
is mixed with it. But after once suck
ing its dam the calf should be taught to
drink out of a pail and to put its head
down when eating 1t will need TO be
pretty hungry to do this readily. and
the finger should be used. placing it
first in the calf's mouth and then put
ting the finger into the milk So soon
as the calf gets fairly to drinking the
finger should be withdrawn. Boston

The smoke upon your altar diea
The flowers decay,
The goddess of your sacrifice
Has flown away.
What profit, then, TO sing or Stay
The sacrifice from day to dayf
sWe know the shrine is void" they said.
'sThe goddess flown
Yet wreaths are on the altar laid
The altar stone
Is black with fumes Of sacrifice,
Albeit she had fed our eyes.
s'For it may be, If still we sing
And tend the shrine,
Some deity on wandering wing
May there incline,
And finding all in order meet
Stay while we worship at her feet"

And 1t would be we'll for all of us who feel that we have suffered from the ungratefulness of others to search our own hearts and ascertain if we ourselves have been always faithful. In some instances the most ungrate- ful of men prate of ingratiude in the lives of others. "Know myself" was the in Junction uttered of old. Carlye bade us to know our work. Laertes was bidden to be true to himself, as the wisest of all things to do, and being faithful in that particular he could not be false to any man. The which brings us to the proposi- tlon that the man within the breast is a power which we cannot defy in safety, or outrage without being cast into that black sea of sorrow prepared for the accursed of all the ages.

Two Possible Universities.

Mills and f-.Haces and mines are good things to have, and this city and district are getting their share of them; but there are other blessings in a community, and in this 'also" class are found educational in- stitutions. Excellent public schools can not, however, do all the work needed in the preparation of young people for the battle of life; and Birmingham is fortunate in possessing two colleges that may become to this district and to the state-to the country, for that matter-as useful aids to higher learning as can be anywhere found. On the one side in the most beautiful sec tion of Jones Valley is Howard college, an institution to which the Baptists fondly commanding a wide panorama of fine scenery, is Birmingham college, fast be. coming the pride of the Methodlsts, that other great denomination of Alabama.
 These two colleges are not denominations al in any educational respect. The sciences and higher mathematics and the lan- guages are not denominational, and these two colleges are not donominational to the boy seeking an education. They are de- nominational only in the matter of support, and enthusiasm, and perhaps of endow- ment.
 And it is well that they are danomina- tional in these respects, for the two col- leges need all the strength that powerful churches can bring to them, for they are in need of many things that make for eff ciency and larger usefulness. Two move ments are progressing that promise very much to both institutions, and through them to Birmingham. Howard college is to be freed from debt. and the college at Ow- enton is to be extended and well-equipped, and possibly equipped with that very necessary thing, an endowment fund.- The Methodsts hope to gather S5OO0O for the Birmingham college, and if the friends of Howard college would do equally as well the two colleges would go into the new century pretty well prepared to do the work that can be theirs to do.

The Next Campaiun.

The national campaign has practically opened. The democratic issues are begin ming to be well defined. The Chicago plat form VIII be adhered to and a ringing anti trust declaration made. The battle cry will be anti-trusts and anti-colonialism.
 Upon these issues the democratic party can win, provided it has a campaign fund sufficient to place them properly before the people. The national committee has all ready begun the work of raising such a fund. Every democrat in every state should do his share. The democrats of Alabama shouldsdo their part towards rais- ing a fund sufficiently large to defray the expenses of the campaign, which, in face of the millions the republicans will have, must be heavy.
 If the chairman of every county commit tee will begin a system of monthly collec- tions 1t will be found that the fund throughout tbe state will be great in six months. The democrats lost three years ago because of no funds to pay legitimate expenses. This should not occur again.

JOE wHEELER IN BOSTON

From the New York Sun.
 On Memorial Day General Joe Wheeler will deliver the address before Edward W Kinsey Post, G. A. R.. in the Boston theater: This is the post that took charge of the funeral services of a confederate soldier last winter.
 Several cities tried to get this admirable old-young ,confederate-federal unionist to make a speech on Memorial Day. He is representative American citizen and sol dier, and popular with everybody except Joe Bailey, who Is nobody.
 It Is Boston's good fortune that he has consented to go there. He will find most cordial and significant welcome. The Bos- ton people are sick of the racket of the anti-fmperialist guinea fowl, most of them not Boston-bred. It is an infiiction which Boston has to bear that there are number or persons in it who are loudly disloyal at present. Most of them-and they are few at most-cultivate 0 taste for singularity Of opinion with the consequent advertising privileges. Some of them would shave one side of their heads rather than go un- noticed All of them have a weakness for giving advice to the contrary on all sub- jects. Ordinarily they amuse their fellow citizens. Of late they have carried the show too far. Boston and Massachusetts are weary of them and dsgusted with them. Tue ninety-nine hundredth object to being held responsible for the posturing and gibbering of the one-hundredth.
 General Joe Wheeler's visit will be a res lief to the Bostonians, and an opportunity to show their patriotism. They feel that the screams of the violent ward during a few months past have given the city and state an undeserved bad reputation.

Where the RepeaIists Stand.

The Southern Argus fills over a column in an attempt to explain away it's declara- ton that a general revision of the present constitution of the state by the people can not be trusted to "any body of men what soever that might be assembled of their own choice and from their midst" It is an explanation that does not explain. It's many references to executive committees and the like should have been left to the empty-headed, or to those who practice politics by tortuous methods.
 The Argus proceeds, however, to justify its original remark by showing that revis- ion through a constitutional convention would be exceedingly dangerous, because convention is a law to itself, and be- cause, too, the present constitution is the best in the United States-reaching the opinion at last that the present generation at least will never consent ito revision. All thought of a general revision should be dismissed, it says in conclusion.
 The Age-Herald fails to see wherein such a conclusion differs in substance from the declaration that the Argus started out to explain; if not to disclaim. Its winding Tn and winding out has brought it to the old stand of the repealists-no constitutional convention, although the Birmingham plan of submission is legally problematical, and the adoption of any amendment is we'll nigh physical impossibility.
 The position of the repealists is clearly defined. The present constitution is, they say, "the best in the United States" and it must stand as it is because general re- vision must not be attempted, and because ''various attempts to secure amendments to our organic law have,' says Governor Johnston, demonstrated that the very re- quirements of the constitution prevent any amendment" Practically the repeallsts stand for the present constitution, regard less of suffrage or other reforms. This is the sum and substance of the position of the Argus, and the Argus is the best ex- ponent of the opponents of general reyis- i0n-

The Automobile Revolution.

The automobile that left Cleveland last Monday at o'clock in the morning, stood in front of the Astor house in New York last Friday evening at 5;45 o'clock The distance covered was 7O4.4 miles, and the time consumed in actual moving was for ty hours and four minutes, an average of 1Z6 miles an hour. An axle was broken near Rochester, involving a delay of eighteen hours The roads were not in good condition between Buffalo and AL bany, but the machine at the end of the trip was in fine trim, ready indeed for a return, or any other, trip.
 Last week, too, notable race occurred in France. On Wednesday last twenty eight electric carriages and thirty-seven motor cycles started from Paris to race to Bordeaux, a distance of S53 miles. The motor cycles were started nineteen min- utes ahead, but were soon passed by the automobiles. The winner reached Bor- deaux on the Bay of Biscay in eleven hours, forty-three minutes and twenty seconds. His average speed was thirty miles an hour. The best motor cycle in the race was over two hours behind the win ming electric wagon. The wagon in the French race was kept at a pace that would have covered the distance from Cleveland to New York in twenty-four hours, if the night were bright, and the roads at their best. The roads of this country are, how ever, far below those of France in al- most every respect.
 These races point to the fast-comng use of horseless wagons. At present such wa gons are very expensive. At present, too, they are very heavy, thus being very try ing to at least bridges All the obstacles to free use will disappear as experience and inventive skill are brought to bear up on them. The locomotive was not perfect ed in a day, nor for that matter was the bicycle or any other machine of compli- cated construction; but now that the feas- ibility of self-pcopelled wagons on good roads Is fully demonstrated, we will surely see within q year or two ali the improve ments needed towards bringing the vehi- cles into general use. They are noseless, or nearly so, because they are rubber-tired. They are smokeless, and they are swift. They lead to cleanliness and a higher de- gree of sanitation. They are coming into general use-tfiat is the long anA short of 1t,

The Sponsor Question.

The Daughters of the Confederacy had the right end of the sponsor question when they resolved at their annual convention. held last winter, that all sponsors and maids of honor be done away with. The truth is, a confederate reunion is so over whelmlng and enthusiastic in many direc- tions that young ladies are apt to receive less attention than they otherwise would. And then come complaints and bickerings and friction.
 The Charleston reunion was no excep- ton to the rule. The Georgia veterans had named two daughters of a gallant and dashing artillery officer of the confederacy, and the fair recipients of the honor duly went to the city by the sea. A series of mishaps immediately occurred, and the veterans of Athens are as a result very warm indeed in the collar. No one met the young ladies at the train. No room had been reserved for them, and they found refuge at last in the room of the Florida sponsor. An old hack was sent for them, which they refused, and in the end they were placed in the Alabama section, and the Georgia flag was never placed in their keeping, and when General Gordons pie ture was unveiled they were not called up- on to do it. No wonder the veterans of Athens, in which city the young ladies live, were ready to declare in formal resolutions that the experience of the state spohsor and her chief maid of honor twas one of humiliation, and their treatment disgracS to all who had in charge the arrangements for their entertainment"
 This widely-pubnshed trouble has led to considerably discussion of the entire sub ject,-~and the opinion is freely expressed that the sponsor feature should perhaps, for harmony's sake, be hereafter omitted "It takes" said a veteran recently, about ten times as much money to take care of one young lady as it does dozen veterans and it is much harder to do." Whatever other divisions may think of the matter, it is plain the Georgia division is in a frame of mind that would tolerate, even approve, the abolshment of the entire sponsor sys- tenn in future reunions of confederate veterans True, there were no complaints on this score in the reunion held in this city or in Nashville, but the two gatherings were exceptional in this respect, and if it be best to avoid as far as possible all fric- tion in these reminiscent and touching oc- casions it may be best to reduce youth and beauty to the ranks" '

THE VICTORIAN NoVELIsTs

From the Boston Herald.
 There are those who hold that the reign of Victoria in Great Britain is not so far behind in wing with that of Elizabeth in its richness in general literature as is sometimes conceded The later era has had no Shakespeare, and perhaps no name to rank with that of Milton in poetry, but in contribution to the knowledge of the world it is superior In the names of its noVelists it stands pre-eminent. Thack- cray and Dickens first come to mind here followed by George Eliot The list of those in the next rank is a long one. It includes Bulwer Lytton, Charlotte Bronte, Anthony Trollope, Charles Reade and Thomas Har- dy, without room for difference of opinion as to their title to precedence, and there may be in the estimate of many half a score of other novelists, headed by Mrs Oliphant, who have left novels that wi 1 be read by posterity, if they do not attain the position of classics in future estima- ton.
