Cost of Living Hioh.

More food stuff must be produced
on Southern farms, or else there will
be want and suffering in this part of
the country. Prices are going up.
For instance" says the Savannah
Press, meal which two years ago was
So cents a bushel is now 95 cents;
grits, which were 25 cents a peck, are
now 80 cents; bacon has jumped up
from 10 cents to 121a cents, and lard
about the same; potatoes have jump
ed from 80 to 40 cents a peck; beans
from Is cents to 20 cents a quart;
eggs from 20 cents to 80 cents a
dozen; breakfast bacon has jump
Is cents to Is cents a pound, and kits
of mackerel from $1.25 to $175.
Apples have jumped from SO to $5.75
barrel; oranges from $3.50 to S. a
box; onions the same. Corn, fine feed,
and bran have advanced, and of
course, milk, following the rise Of
dairy feed, has risen in proportion.
ALI canned goods have advanced
amazingly; tomatoes from 80 cents to
$1.25 a Dozen"
The farmers and other people of the
South cannot go on buying these nee
essaries and paying such prices, for
cotton will not bring prices that will
admit of such purchases.
There is but one way out of trouble
in this section-more foodstuffs must
be produced-enough If possible to
meet home demands. Unless this be
done this year this section will soon
be in debt and troubles will be multi
piled. This Is not a false alarm, and
we do not intend it shall be a still
alarm. Prices of foodstuffs-of meats
and dairy and garden products as well
as of breadstuffs, are going up, while
cotton will be very low if the season
be favorable, and in no case will it
be high enough to buy from other sec
lions articles that should be grown at
home. This is a serious matter, and
every farmer should consider it be-
fore he pitches another crop

Prices of Cotton Ties.

The steel trust protected by a Chi
nese wall tariff puts prices up or
down at pleasure. 1t taxes the South
ern farmers for ties this year at the
rate of $1.20 a bundle-next year the
price is to be 80 cents bundle. Such
a cut is simply arbitrary and tariff
like. 1t is the steel trust disporting
itself. It plays with Southern farm
ers as a cat does with a mouse.
What is to be done? Simply moth
ing. Nothing can be done against
billion-dollar combine while the rob-
Der tariff stands. 1t can mark cotton
ties up or down at will. It marks
them down just now to prevent COM
petition, but when competition ceases
to threaten it will mark them up to
S1.20 or even more. 1t now sells them
at s120, but for reasons best known
seasons delivery" to 80 cents. The
real reason for this cut is found in
the strength and aggressiveness of
the independent mills. When they
are crushed out or bought out then
the price will be apt to be marked up
to the tariff point. Neither the steel
trust nor any other trust will refuse
in the long run, when local reasons
do not interfere, to take all the pro-
fits the tarIl holds out and freely
offers. But some day the American
people will become intelligent
enough to see and understand indirect
robbery. and then our Chinese wall
wnl be thrown down.

Research knows no particular place

ialty, if not the entire work, of the
institution is to be original research.
1t will supplement the work of other
schools. 1t will endeavor to broaden,
deepen. and render more fruitful the
national life. It is to be a school for
special investigation, and board Of
twenty-seven, acting in their individ-
ual capacities. is perhaps the best
method of conducting such work
There is to be no politics in it, no
governmental interference, no univer-
sity control. 1t is planned on wise
lines, and if the twenty-seven trustees
do their duty it will soon be at work.

Mr.. carneqie's New School.

1t seems to be settled that Mr.. Car
negie gives $10,OO0,0O0 in cash, in
stead of bonds of that face value, but
1t does not yet appear that the gov
eminent is the custodian of the
money. In fact, it does not appear to
be plain that the United States has
anything to do with the transaction.
A corporation has been organized,
called 1.-THE Carnegie Institution" and
this institution is to be governed by
twenty-seven trustees. Mr.. John Hay
is one of them.
It further appears that the institu-
ton is to be free from customary uni
versity control. 1t is to be conducted
by twenty-seven trustees and their
successors, and the existing board is
to fill all vacancies Thus freed from
governmental or university control it
is to be thus directed by the articles

AMERICANS ARE HEALTHY.

+. L. Hoffman. Insurance Statistican
This country is more healthy with the
exception of Norway and Sweden than
any part of Europe, and the effect of the
intense struggle for success on the part
of our business men and women is more
than balanced by our higher standards
of living, which tend to make our people
continue along he path of Improvement
While 1t is impossible to arrive at final
conclusions on the basis of our Industrial
or ordinary experiences, because of the
careful medical selection exercised In in
surance practice. the facts established by
other Investigations indicate that the
adult foreign born citizen is subject to a
lower mortality in the United States than
assumed that any inherited tendency to
early decay will be more than balanced
by the healthier conditions of life in our
country. A comparative mortality table
shows that close behind Norway and
ahead of Great Britain France, Germany,
New Jersey has the lowest death rate.
The chance of attaining the age of 100 In
Massachusetts is today ten times what It
was half century ago. Certainly the
facts are abundant tending to prove that
old age is being attained by men and
women in this country with an increasing
degree of frequency, and, what is better
to quote the words of authority: ut is
certain that our American men at 60 are
not broken up as badly as our fathers
were at l0'

New Departure,

Lewis Nixon as the leader of Tammany
marks new era in New York politics"
said a New York Democrat at the Ar
lington.
Nixon is the first man in my day. and
the first in the modern history of Tam
many as far as I can learn, who has
combined political sagacity of the Tam
many sort with scholarly attainsments
or high social position
Tweed was self-made man and lost
out in his greed. Kelly was n good man
but without culture. Croker was of the
Kelly class, only more OF a genius In
the business of politics.
Nixon is not only Virginian, but he
comes of the so-called colonial aristoc-
racy. He is a graduate of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis and up to a few
years ago was an officer Of the navy.
He resigned from the navy to accept
position with the Cramps concern. He Is
not only high UP socially but he is
u ealthy as a result of his education and
experience in the line of naval construc-
ton.
Mr.. Croker endorsed Mr. Nixon for
the leadership. Much has been said of
the scholar in politics. 1t remains to be
seen how this proposition will work in
Tammany. 1t Is certainly an unexpected
departure"

The Niuht Toiler,

81 have been toiler in the iron In

said a Birmingham man yesterday.
81 have heard many persons say that
night work was injurious to health, but
this statement could not be proved by
me. have enjoyed good health all my
life.
IT know that some railroad men and
some telegraph operators work all night
seven nights in the week. 1 have always
taken one day In seven for rest, and to
that fact I attribute my sound health L
pity the man who works every night in
the year. A break down will come soon
or late But with rest one night in seven
any able bodied worker should be able
to hold out
81 sleep well in the day time and good
sleep is necessary of course to good
health. The trouble with many night
workers is they do not get sound sleep in
day light"

Hymn Music.

ST am not a Catholic. but to hear the
great festival masses l frequently at
tend Catholic services" said PROM
inent citizen last night.
81 was at st. Paul's this morning ana
listened with great delight to Gounod 5
st. Cecilia mass. rendered under the
direction Of Mr.. Guckenberger.
This work is very popular in music
loving circles and cannot imagine that
it was ever better rendered in New YORK,
Boston, or Cincinnati than 1t was hero
today. But what particularly impressed
me in the musical part Of the services
was that which came last After the mass
the choir sang a good old tune, familiar
to every Presbyterian, Baptist and Meth
odlst. 1t was a stirring song In the chor-
ale style, although not chorale in form.
II had heard this hymn hundred
times or more and had always enjoyed
it; but never until today did 1t come to
me as a revelation. It was revelation IN
deed. 1t proved what training could do
Congregational singing may be all
right theoretically, but when 1t comes
to music as an art that stirs and re-
fines the SOUL give me the sort that
heard today. The choir numbered between
thirty and forty, but the volume of
sound had the effect of three or four
hundred voices. 1t was a grand thing Of
its kind because of its musicianship.

Dr.. Loeb's Discoveries.

The researches of the Chicago
scientist relate more to the future
than to the present. 1t is what they
will lead to rather than what they are.
Great discoveries of science, like
up slowly. Sometimes, it is true,
they come in full form and suddenly,
rs did the CIRCULATION of the blood and
the attraction of gravitation, but it is
plain DR.. Loebs nerve force must be
worked out slowly and thoughtfully.
The attention of students has been
turned perhaps in true direction, and
the rest must be left to time.
DR.. Loeb starts off by saying that
nerve action, heretofore so mystic
rious, is but electricity. Nerve stim-
ulation thus becomes an electrical
process. The nerves carry in their
cores, as has long been known, col
loidal solution A colloidal solution
Is a liquid capable of coagulation. 1t
may be jelled, in other words. DR..
Loeb proceeds to show that mega
tive charge of electricity changes the
colloidal particals from the condition
of solution to that of gelation. This
is what we call nerve stimulation.
Sodium, potassium, etc., prevent gela-
ton because they bear positive
charges. Electrical atoms negatively
charged produce one result, and like
atoms positively charged work an
other result in the nerves.
The muscles are also colloidal, and
electricity has a like effect upon them.
Nerve action and muscular contrac-
ton are thus explained, and all this
is topped with the declaration that
heat is not, after all, the motive power
of the human system-heat develop
Gu NY iOOu dnu ny tile T.,
but that food in it's chemical changes
results in electrically charged mole
cules. Food becomes, in word, cleo
trical energy which drives the mus
cles, the organs and the nerves of the
body
1t will be conceded at once that
this theory is revolutionary in the
practice of medicine and the treat
ment of the human body. 1t means
very much in the future, if it be well
founded, as no doubt it is. Dr.
Jacques Loeb and Sig Marconi are
certainly starting the century on bold
original lines, and If the pace is main
tanned the people at the end of it
will regard us poor ancients with pity
IL not scorn.

SNOWFALL A MILLIONAIRE.

New York Letter in The Pittsburg Dis
patch:
The millionaire magnates who made up
the inspection party gave the boys of the
upper Eastside more fun than a barrel of
monkeys. The party was returning in
the Fifth avenue auto stages from the
new Seventy-fifth street power house to
the special electric train just as the boys
got out of school. The sight of so many
silk hats was too much for the boys
''Whiz" went hard-packed SNOWFALL. 1t
back, but he chung to the auto stage and
took it good naturally. II was a boy
myself once" chuckled John Arbuckle
the millionaire sugar refiner, as he sat in
safety inside. Mr. Gould's laugh was the
signal for the rest of the boys to begin
a fusilade. All the clean snow in the
neighborhood was used up quickly, and
the dirty, muddy slush of the street was
the next ammunition. The air was full
Of flying snow. With a rallying cry every
boy for blocks around ran to the scene
From the river to Second avenue the
autos ran the gauntlet of hard packed
snowballs. Hats flew off and chauffeurs
were uregd to hurry. One auto struck at
Seventy-sixth street and First avenue
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. was in it. Not
content with firing at the men outside,
the gamins opened the door of the auto
and hurled big wads of dirty snow inside
Young Mr.. Rockefellers hat and eye
glasses fell. Not a policeman was in
sight. The battle ragged all the way to
the L station. where the train waited,
Snowballs flying even as H. H. Vreeland,
the Goulds, Mr.. Rockefeller, Vice-Presi-
dent Skitt and half dozen bank presi-
dents scurred up the stairways.
