Of VALUE TO HoRSCmEH.

Do you turn your horse out for the
winter? If so, we want to call your
attention to a very important mat
ter. Horses which have been used
steadily at work. either on the farm
or road, have quite likely had some
strains whereby lameness or enlarge
ments have been caused. Or per
haps new life is needed TO be iufused
into their legs. Gombault S Caustlo
Balsam applied as per directions,
lust as You are turning the horse
out, will be of great benefit; and
this is the time when it can be used
very successfully. One great ad
vantage in using this remedy is that
after it is applied it needs no care or
attention, but does it's work we'll
and at y time when the horse is hav-
ing a rest OF course it Can be used
with equal success while horses are
in the stable, but many people In
turning their horses out would use
Caustio Balsam if they were re.
minded of it, and this article is given
ss q reminder.

Within the last few mOnts, wireless

Jight-ship, off the Massachusetts

by the New York Herald, has been
the means of les5enlng the time for
which travellers are deprived of home

THE STATES CRIMINAL STATISTICS.

The summary of this States oTimi-
nal statistics since 1889, when their
official collection began, shows the
interesting fact that out of 1881
persons tried on capital charges only
twelve we're hanged-less than one
in one hundred. There were eighteen
lynched. The proportion of negroes
to whites is as one third to two
thirds but the proportion of negro
criminals to whites is rather more
than as five to six. These figures
will be perhaps rather startling
One of the Attorney Generals some
years ago declared that the laws
were "too bloody" but the number
of executions does not prove this,
the average being only one hanging
in a year.-Charlotte Observer.

MORE ISLANDS FOR THE UNITED STATES

The negotiations between the gov
ernment of the United States and
Denmark, relative to the cessiOn to
the United States of the Danish
West Indies, have been transferred
to Washington. The negotiations
we're initiated by Mr.. S SWenson,
United States minister to Copenha-
gen, about three years ago, and later
on Mr.. White, secretary of EN- bassy,
at London, took up the work in be-
half of the United States. The
transfer to Washington was brought
about through the desire of the Dan
ish government to place it's interests
in the matter in the hands of Mr..
Constantine Brun, Danish minister
at this capital. He spent some time
at Copenhagen last summer, and re-
turned to Washington recently,
thoroughly prepared to carry for
ward the negotiations directly with
Secretary Hay. 1t is learned thai
within the last few days there has
been increased activity in the nego-
tiations and that sensible progress
has been made toward the compile
ton of treaty of oession.-Selected.

EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT.

We are in hearty sympathy with
the aims and purposes of the recent
educational gathering in New York.
The education of the ignorant is no
sectional question since the nation
may some times suffer through the
suffrage of the unintelligent And
the South has double portion of
illiteracy to care for since it has the
negro race to educate as we'll as the
white. So we arc unaffectedly glad
TO see such philanthrOpists in the
cause of education as George Foster
Peabody, Morris K Jesup, John D.
Rockefeller and Robert @. Ogden,
NEE ting such Southern educators as
J. L. M Curry, Charles Dabney,
Edwin A. Alder man and Charles D
McIver, and discussing frankly the
needs and the conditions of eduoa-
tional work in the South. Several
prominent educators and public men
from Northern centers were present
at the gathering. A Bureau of Edu-
cation and Investigation was formed
with President DAbney at che head,
while Alderman MoIver, and Frissel
are field direct ors for deliv, ring lee
tures, gathering information and
advising the judicious expenditures
of the $40, 900 year that will be
spent for the present Presbyter
Standard.

The study of the water resources
of the country and the work of
stream measurement to ascertain
conditions of flow, to which the
United States Geological Survey
has set itself, is a vast work; but the
Information thus oollecte d will give

touch the economic interests of the

Concerning the establishment of

In building these sample roads, ma

gests that his departments, already
giving aid TO rural schools in vari-
Gus ways, should take still more
active part in encouraging this work.
He recommends encouragement by
distributing seeds and plants TO es-

schools with collections of specimens
of insects, of plant diseases, and
other illustrative material, and by
supplying the teachers with such
publications. of the Department. as
may be useful TO them.
