 Driving for pleasure has practically ceased in Birmingham. Only such persons as find no discomfort in dust now brave the ocean of filth that rolls ceaselessly all over Birmingham, and the livery stablemen are consequently subjected to serious loss. While there is little dust on the unsur- passed county roads, the deplorably filthy streets of the city are intolerable. How long shall the people of Birmingham wrthe under the deadly domination of the Dust Devil? There is not so much as an echo to answer the question hy repeating it.

BUTTER BY THE YARD.

Probably Cambridge is the only place
in the world where one would be likely
to find butter sold by linear measure;
but there, in accordance with the old
custom, it is literally sold by the yard.
For generations it has been the prac-
tice of Cambridgeshire dairy folk to
roll their butter into lengths. each
length measuring yard end weighing
pound, Deity wrapped in strips of
clean white cloth, the cylindrical rolls
are packed into long and narrow bas-
kets made for the purpose and thus
conveyed to market. The butter wo.
men, who in white linen aprons and
sleeves, preside over the stalls IN the
MAJ ket, have no need of weights or
scales for dispensing their wares; con-
slant practice and an experienced eye
enable them with single stroke Of the
knife to divide yard of butter into
halves or quarters with almost matbe-
matical exactness. The university
people are the chief buyers of this
curiously shaped article. In addition to
its being famed for its purity and
sweetness, Cambridge "yard butter" is
eminently adapted for serving out to
the university students in the daily
commons. Cut into conveniently sized
pieces and accompanied by loaf Of
the best wheaton bread, stated por-
tion is sent round every morning to
the rooms Of the undergraduates for
use at the daily breakfast and tea;

THE ARMY INCREASE.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, refer
ring to the passage by the House OF
the army bill by an almost strict party
vote, raising the regular army to
100000 men, says that body refused to
consider any proposition looking to a
reduction of the army as soon as peace
shall have been declared in the Phil
ippines-that the army IS wanted Tor
service in the United States and not IN
ttose island, and adds "Does any
body suppose for moment that there
is any purpose TO reduce the army
below the 100000 maximum this Con-
press will fix? If so he is under an
unpardonable delusion. The Repub-
licans have the Senate for years to
come. Once recruit the army to a
fixed number, with no provision fol its
reduction, and how are you going to
get an act through the Republican
Senate reducing it at some later day :?
1t can't be done. Let the Senate
pass-as it will do-the army reOrgan-
izauon bill, and militarism becomes a
fact accomplished. We shall never
have less of it; we shall certainly have
more Of it, With an empty stomach
and a soldier on bis back, the wise
American voter will have abundant
leisure before he is q decade older to
comprehend just what he did when he
pinned his faith to The full dinner pail

THE NEGRO RACE AND PUBLI'
SCHOOLS.

The very life of the common schooI
system, says the Richmond Times, is
in its common benefits. The strongest
arguments for it aud against opposition
is that the benefits are the same to all
inst as the benefits of any other species
of taxation. But if we once begin to
discriminate we strike at the very root
~ the common schools, and there is no
telling where it will end. If we are
going to have one class OF public
schools fer the rich and another for the
Door, we might as well abolish the
whole system and let each man become
responsible for the education OF his own
cb,ldlen. We have in the South q
Great mass of negro children. we
know that education improves and re
fines. and it is cur duty 10 give these
children the benefit OF an education,
leaving results to take care Vi 'ne
selves. If we do our duty, II we do
the genel ous part by the blacks, We
slal, at least, have the approval OF cur
own conscience, no matter whether the
blacks or benefited or not, But II we,
in a spirit Of selfshness, withhold from
them the benefits of education, turn
them adrift and tell them to look ont
for themselves, to hoe thor own row
without any material aid, or words OF
good cheer from the whites, be sure
that our conscience will lash us. Inc
people of Virginia are generous peo-
pie, and we do not believe they VIII
ever consent to withhold from the
blacks the compai atlyely small sum OF
money that is annually appropriated to
the negro schools. The law OF kindness
should be our rule of conduct; for ttose
who steer their course by that chart
will never cause to regret it ether In
this world or in the world to come.
