A Great statesman,s Secret.

1t is related that the secret of celebrated
statesman's long life was his systematic way
of eating. Every bit of food put into his
mouth was chewed thirty times before he
swallowed it. The consequence was that his
stomach never bothered him, and he naturally
enjoyed good health Most men and women

QUEER SIAMESE MUSIC.
An Octave which Differs from OuI
Own and Has Seven Equal
Intervals.

Profs. Stump and Neesen, of the
Berlin university, have concluded some
interesting experiments regarding the
peculiarities of Siamese music, says
the Scientific American. The Siamese
musical octave differs from our own
in the fact that it comprises seven
equal intervals. The sounds, though
perfectly harmonious, are somewhat
curious. While the Siamese court
troupe was at the geological gardens
in Berlin these two professors de-
cided to record these musical tones
in their natural sound to such eXacti-
tude that the faintest variations
might be clearly defined. In the
earlier experiments the ordinary pho
nograph was employed, but was
proved to be unsatisfactory, owing to
the unpleasant constant rasping re-
productions which always accompany
photographic reproductions and which
in this case destroyed the distinct.
ness of the sounds. A telephonOgraph
was then employed and the results
were all that could be desired. BY
means of Inis apparatus the sounds
are so clear and the graduations so
faithfully recorded that it is a diff
cult matter to distinguish between the
actual recital by the troupe and its
telephonographic reproduction.

Recipe for Happiness.
New York Tribune. !

New York Tribune.
"Women are too prone to accept I'M
necessary evils with ready resignation
while men have better understanding OF
the art of happiness" said Nine. Sarah
Grand in lecture on "The Art of Hap
piness" recently. Idleness, she said, Is
one of the worst enemies of happiness,
and among women the desire to work ls
not SO common as to be discouraged, the
Intellectual life of many women being one
of the saddest features of the present day.
Nine. Grand strongly advised parents to
give their children, sons and daughters
alike, the opportunity to follow their in
stinctiye proclvities in the way OF lie
work, because there is JOY in congenlal
work and congenial play. The chances
for happiness, she said, outweigh the
chances of misery, every function of mind
and body inclning toward pleasure and
to the avoidance of pain. Happiness is
to be found in the simpler modes of life,
not in excitement, which is only its lmita'
ton. In all recipes for happiness, good
ness must be the principal ingredient, the
Others which go to form a truly happy
life being fidelity in friendship, love and
marriage, affection between parents and
children, moral courage, courtesy and
perfect sincerity.

while another comfortable contingent
comes along and says educate his hand
and the problem will be solved. Make
him a skilled workman and everything
will be all right-which ignores the fact
that the presence Of the negro as skilled
hand-worker means the starvation or de-
parture of the white handworker, OF our
own blood and kind and the backbone OF
our social, commercial and political sys'
tenn.
The negro question is a big one and a
complicated one. 1t must be dealt with
presently, seriously and honestly, and II
will demand our hest brain and character.
The suggestions we have glanced at above
show how chaotic the public mind Is on
the subject, how far we are from attacking
it properly and justly.

A VALUABLE REPUTATION.
He Had Been Lying for Twenty Years
and Had Made "A Name for
Himself

"a business matter took me out
west last fall" said the well-known at
torney. who was in a reminiscent mood,
relates the Detroit Free Press, land
I took advantage of the opportunity
to make a trip into the mountains for
weeks hunting. I hired an old man
to act as a guide and do the cooking,
and l enjoyed myself to the utmost.
The mountains were full of big game,
but the state had lately passed law
prohibiting the killing of deer, which
was particularly aggravating, as we
were continually running across them.
Now l am a respecter of the lawn
less am retained on the other side
and I found it hard work to refrain
from shooting at the deer that present
ed themselves as if they knew that they
were free from danger. But along to-
ward the last our meat ran out, and |
told the old man that we would have
TO have some fresh meat even if we had
to kill deer. He agreed with me, and
it wasn't ten minutes later that a deer
sprang up ahead of us. l wasn't pre-
pared for him, but the guide was, and
he made a clean miss, much to his dis
gust. That was the last deer that we
saw. and we returned without having
broken the law. But no sooner had we
arrived at the point where we had
started from than the old man was ar
rested for killing a deer, and l took it
upon myself to defend him, as knew
him to be innocent. I took the stand
in his behalf, and thinking it
best to make clean breast of the mat
ter, admitted that he had shot at
a deer, but missed him. Then 1 put
the old man on the stand to cor
roborate my testimony.
"'You admit having shot at the
deer?' said I, when the old man took
the stand.
"'Thet's what!' he answered.
"'And you missed him?' I contin-
ued.
"No, street. he shouted. 4 killed
him, b'geeP
"That took the wind out of my sails
and I collapsed, the result being that

assert that German inspection is much
better than American, and Talbot j. Al
bert, the American consul at Brunswick,
in his report on the subject, seems to con-
cede that such is the fact. But it is not
true in the slightest degree. American
inspection, as has been conceded by Ger
mans who came to this country to lnves'
tigate it, is as thorough as that OF the
German Government. Russia has fully
as good reason for excluding German
meats as Germany has for excluding
American meats. Germany started this
unjust course on a dishonest pretense, and
it is now getting what it deseryes-pay IN
its own coin.

WHAT TO DO WITH HIM.
Richmond News, Dem. !

Richmond News, Dem.
1t would be interesting to have defined
just what some elements in the South
would like to have done with the negro.
We are told that as farm laborer he is
worthless and destructive. In Louisiana
and South Carolina loud protests are
made against his being allowed to buy and
occupy small tracts of farming land on
the ground that he will "Africanize"
those parts OF the country. A proposition
to force him to depend on his own taxes
for education-which would virtually de-
prive him of education entirely-has some
support, and on the other hand his ignor-
ance is declared to be the curse of the
country. With all this, when an emigra-
ton agent appears to induce negroes to
20 West or North he is taxed, hampered
and sometimes mobbed and chased out of
the State. So there we are. The negro
is worse than useless as a farm laborer,
but he must not set up farming for him
self; his ignorance is vast evil but he
must not be taught; he is burden and
danger but anybody who tries to toll him
away from us should be hanged. Mean.

A GERMAN BOOMERANG.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
Some of Germany's chickens, so to
speak, are coming home to roost. One Of
these relates to the unjust discrimination
against American meats on the pretense
of their unwholesomeness Germany pro-
hibited the importation of American pork
and certain other American products On
alleged hygienic grounds. Now Russia
has prohibited the importation OF German
meats under the same pretense.
This has aroused the anger of the Ger
mans and petition has been in circula-
ton in Germany, addressed to the De-
partment Of Interior at Berlin, calling at
tentlon to the commercial treaty with
Russia, which, it is asserted, has been
violated by the prohibition by Russia Of
the importation of German meats. The
petition, in part, says eff article 6l0 Of
the Russian tariff act wholly forbids the
import of German preparations of swine
flesh we look upon this as an evasion Of
the commercial treaty with Germany.
The fear that trichinosis might be intro
duced through the importation of German
sausage is deprived of any foundation by
reason of the legal prescriptions and the
scientifically executed trichinae inspec-
ton"
The "National Zeitung" and the "Vo-
sische Zeitung" concede that the prohibi-
ton issued by the German Government
against the importation of American
meats has given weapon to Russia and
other foreign countries by which they can
nullify the effects of Germany to promote
the export Of German meats. In regard
to the argument that Russia ignores the
German inspection for trichinae the
Brunswick "Landeszeitung" notes that
Russia may appeal to the fact that Ger
many does not recognize the American
meat inspection, although the Americans
assert that these are thoroughly trust
worthy.

GOOD ROADS.

When the newspapers begin to write
about good roads in Tazewell county the
people smile, and say it is useless-that
the county will never have good roads.
For several years past, at intervals, the
REPUBLICAN has tried to awaken an inter-
est in the question of Improvement to the
public roads. Our contemporary, the
Clinch Valley News, has done the same
thing. Whether the efforts of the county
press have produced any impression may
be question; but there is no doubt that
during tho past two years there has been
a marked improvement in the condition of
the county roads. Any person who has
travelled generally in the county during
that time will be forced to admit the cor
rectness ofthis statement. The improve
ments, however, have not been as extern
sive as they should have been.
A new century has set in, and the first
years of the century should be attended
with spirit of improvement in our coun'
ty that will soon make the VIGOROUSLY bad
highways of Tazewell county thing of the
past. To have good roads large amount of
money will have to beexpended; and there
will be no trouble for this county to bor-
row any reasonable sum, that will be
necessary, at low rate of interest, to
make its roads among the best in the
country. If large loan is negotiated it
would require an advance in the rate OF
taxation for road purposes, but the adj
vance in rate would be more than offset
by the immense saving to those who are
constantly using the roads. The highest
taxes our people have been paying for
wears are those they have been paying to
the bad roads
For any considerable and systematic
Improvement to the public roads OF the
county it may be necessary to have special
