AUTOMOBILES ON CURVES.
There Is No Raised Outer Rall to Pre-
 vent an Upset.

From Anslee's Magazine.
 It is curious thing to see racing automobile in full career, it's chauffeur arrayed in leather cap and jerkin, with black goggles over his eyes, bent forward so as to offer the least re- sistance to the wind. While rounding curves at top speed he may be seen leaning far inward, so as to offset the effect of centrifugal force.
 The automobile, it must be remem- bered, it is unprovided with any means of counteracting the effect of centrifu- gal force. When a railway rounds curves the outer rail is slightly raised so as to incline the cars within that curve The wheels are held on the tracks by their flanges. With auto mobiles running around curves with out inclines, as they mostly do, the centrifugal force tends constantly to throw the carriage from the true course. This force is counteracted only by the friction between the tires and the ground. When the centrifu- gal force overcomes this friction. as is bound to happen on slippery roads, the equilibrium is destroyed and the carriage, while sliding on it's wheels. is thrown without the curve. To apply the brake in such cases would only make matters worse. There is noth- ing to be done but to correct the equi- librium by counterbalancing devices.

Race Feeling in the South.

From the New Or.eans Times-D Democrat
 It must now be growing increasingly evident to all impartial critics that the white people of the south have listened with remarkable patience to the unkind- ly judgments passed upon the southern commonwealth both by certain circles at the north and by certain negroes in this section. In view of existing conditions, it is only fair to state that while the south ern people are exceedingly tolerant they have no sympathy with the complaints lodged against them. The time has at length come when the white race of the south may say to the black race: "If you do not desire to live in the south we shall be glad if you will migrate to sec tions of the Union An which your life will be more happy and more successful If you wish to remain In the south you should at least have the decency to cease your unreasonable complaints" And the time has at length also come when "the rich and populous north should be told in no uncertain tone that it's criticism of the south is hardly char acterizsd either by sound judgment or good taste. The Bible suggests that it may be wise for one first to cast the beam from ones own eye before one at tempts to pluck the mote out of ones brothers eye

He Knew Her.

w c. Jackson in the Salt Lake Herald.
 The dexterous manipulator of a soda fountain and the chasier at a restaurant making a speciality of after-theater sup pers were exchanging condolences.
 "She Is unlike other girls. so natural and sincere" explained the cashier
 Looks at you out of the depths of her soulful eyes when she talks to you, doesn't she?" queried the soda artist.
 Exactly"
 Sings. doesn't she?"
 "Yes"
 "Favorite song is, Oh. Promise Me "
 That's it''
 And when she sings it her soul seems to fly out on the wings of song and soar among the heavens?"
 "Yes. yes.' said the cashier, but how do you know? Are you acquainted with her?'
 Well I can't say exactly, but all last summer I was tied up with a soulful creature of that class who drifted out of my life just as the ice cream season was waning and the oyster eating days had come in upon us and I though may be she had drifted into yours"
 Then it was that the cashier at the restaurant remembered that it was in the first of the series of months contain ing thel etter "r' that his path and that of this fair maid had become entwined and a great heavy thoughtfulness came upon him.

CONDUCTOR PAID
 FOR BEING POLITE
A MILLIONAIRE DIES AND BE- QUEATHS HIM 5000 FOR HIS KINDNESS IN ANSWERING QUES- TONS WHILE TRAVELLING.

Chicago, February 19.-Llewellyn Ma son, conductor on the Chicago and AL ton Railroad, has just received assurance that courtesy to the travelling public sometimes has it's reward.
 When the Will of w. A. Tyler, a Bloomington millionaire, was probated yesterday it was found to contain the following clause:
 'To Llewelyn Mason I bequeath the sum of 5000 as recognition of the cour- teous treatment accorded me while trav- cling on the Alton road"
 Conductor Mason is over 60 years of age and has been. a condutor on the AL ton for nearly thirty years. He now runs a suburban train between Chicago and Joliet
 MT. Tyler was exceedingly curious when travelling and was wont to ask many questions. In 1868 he happened to take a train upon which young Mason was conductor and Mason spent all of his spare time on the run to Chicago in talking to him.
 Three of four times each year Mason carried the rich man between Jacksonville and Chicago and later between Blooming ton and Chicago, and he never tired once from the old mans questions.

An English journal in condemning the barbarian in South Africa, says it can recall but three cases in two centuries when the system was adopted of laying waste a country, destroying all the crops, capturing all the cattle and burning the instruments of agriculture, in order to secure victory The first was the devas- tation of the Palatinate by Louis XIV, in the eighteenth century. Then came the wanton destruction by the Turks in Greece in the nineteenth century. So shocking was this that the principal powers In Europe interfered, destroyed the Turkish fleet at Navarina, and es- tablished the independence of Greece. The third instance was that of Spain in Cuba in our own day which finally led to the late war with that country, and the expulsion of the Spanish flag from the Western world. has-..- ..,..oa
 My English contemporary, has not ev- idently read American history, very deep ly, or his memory is defective, During the progress of the revolutionary war Lord Cornwalls and other British generals did precisely what Roberts and Kitchener have been doing in South Africa. Towns were burned in New York and New En- gland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary land and most of the Southern States were ravaged by the British forces, wherever they were strong enough to do so Not only that, they made allies of thr savage Indians and melted them to mtrder and rapine It was within the rules of war to take property which was required for the support of the troops, but they did not confine themselves with in that limitation; they gave to the flames all they could not take away with them or which they did not need,
 Virginia in particular suffered dearly at the hands of Lord Cornwallis. Accord ing to the historians of that state, he

The Great Business South.

From the New York Commercial
 While the world has been wondering at the rapid rehabilitation of the new South and at her remarkable strides in industrial and commercial progress, the south herself has long sirs2e ceased to be new" In the sense in which that word was applied to her thirty-five years ago. It is the same south, the same, warm hearted, impulsive people of the ante bellum period, but they have been doing business in their post-bellum way so long that the "old' and the new have now lost their Individuality and 'The South has come to suggest to the present gener- ation not the history, the traditions or the politics of that section, but a peo- pie of tremendous energies, ambitious, progressive and engaged as mass in wealth-bulding and in the establishment of the most enlightened and beneficent in- stitutions
 They never quite liked to be called "new'-and the more thoroughly the world comes to know them the less ap- propriate does the designation appear. 'The South" Is quite sufficient It fits them better, suits them better.
 And what a wonderful country they havei With practically only single in- dustry a third of a century ago the south has since wrought a score or more out of her natural resources. without meantime dethroning King Cotton. Who could have predicted in 1860 that forty years thence the south would not only be shipping coal, iron and steel to the. north and west but actually be exporting steel products to foreign countries? There is now scarcely a state in the Un- ion that does not use her timber and and her exports of 1t are continually bringing foreign gold into her coffers. In the winter her vegetable gardens scat ter their welcome products far into the snow and, ice-areas of the continent; all the year around her fresh fruits find their way into sections that cannot produce them but must buy lnem while. preserv- ed, they feed our soldiers in the Philip pines as well as the hungry miners in the Klondike.
 We have President Havemeyer's word for it that the United States need never import another pound of sugar If only her agriculturists would till their sugar. lands sufficiently and of our aggregate sugar consumption the south could cas- ilv supply a vast proportion by doubling or ouadrupling the present output of her cane-fields. She has so increased her rice crons in recent years that importers are now wondering when they will have to turn exporters perforce. The natural oil wells of Texas and Louisiana already begin to dwarf the importance of the Pennsylvania and Ohio oil fields and promise to be fortune-builders for many years to come
 Let us consider for moment by way of Illustration by-product of the south's wonderful cotton plant-cotton seed oil that has latterly come to be one of her chief articles of manufacture She had in the census year 1900 a total of 35l cot ton seed oil mills scattered throughout a dozen or more states. They crushed over 2,OOo, coco tons of cotton seed and produced
The age-herald., 1902-02-20

approximately 91.OoOO0O gallons of oil, which was sold for upward of $21 0O,0 900; while, in addition, their oil-cakes and meal, hulls and linters brought the pro- duct of these mills up to $420O0,000. The south had one cotton seed oil mill in 1884 only 26 in 1870, 45 in 1880 and 119 in 1890, the present number showing an increase of POO per cent during the past decade. Cotton seed used to be thrown away, most of it, as worthless. A thrifty people has turned that waste into s42,OO0,O0O a year.

BRITISH BARBARISM IN SOUTH AFRICA.

trampled down the growing crops, burned the farm houses, barns and even fences that lay in his path. By his orders the throats of young cattle were cut and inn mense quantities of provisions, hay, to- bacco, flour, corn, given to the torch. He made prisoners of the negro farm hands, marched them away to New York so that the planters were unable to do they har- vest work or to put new seed into the ground when the time came around.
 Again In the early part of the nine teenth century, what is the record of another British army on American soil? During the war of 1872, the City of Wash ington was captured. There was practi- cally no resistance made to the entry into the city of the victorious troops, but notwit hstanding that fact, which under the rules of war should have saved it from wanton destruction, the capitol, the Executive Mansion, the War Department and other public buildings were burned The books in the library of Congress shared in the general wreckage The Goths and Huns who descended upon old Rome were more civilized, less barbarious than was that British army of ninety years ago. Napoleon the First, was not an angel in war, but while he, at one period or another held possession of every capitol in Europe. not a public building was injured.
 Some English writers and public men pretend to believe that there is an Amer ican precedent for the South African de- vastaton. They point to Sheridan's raid in the valley of the Shenandoah, and to Sherman's march to the sea- There is no parallel between the two cases. Sherman s expedition was for the purpose of cutting the Confederate States in two, and he only laid waste a few miles each side of his advance. He did not attempt to starve a people into submission. but an army. The property he destroyed was principly cotton. on which Confederate bonds were floated in England. All that

 It will occur to the sensible person, use of means that will banish all poisonous material from the blood. To accomplish this, it is only necessary to use for a reasonable length of time the remedy that has been curing rheu- matism for half a century. That remedy Is Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It purifies the blood; that is what it is for: It cures because it is a foe to all blood im- purities, and because it makes new, rich blood. When the blood is thoroughly re- newed and in it's normal condition, rheu- matism must necessarily disappear. Get the genuine.
