HOW TO MAKE TOOLS LAST.

I know a farmer who has used the
same hoe for % years and it is to-day as
bright as new pin; is as thin and
sharp as a Taring knife. Says he
wouldn't exchange it for two bran new
ones. Secret, 1t was always cleaned
and oiled after using. He believes in
cleaning tools. Cleans even his harrow
teeth. Keeps machinery and tools al
ways housed. Is using drill that he
bought 10 years ago and has had none
other for his farm of ia acres. A har-
harvester-wire binder-saw service

had it not been smashed to atoms in q
cyclone. Same farmer made his sled
20 years ago. Fifteen winters out oil
the 20 it was used for heavy hauling in
the woods. Shoes were one and three
tourths inches thick when put on and
are now worn to three Fights of an
inch. Careful housing and immediate
attention TO repairs is the magic oil he
uses on his implements.

NEGROES IN THE NORTH.

The census figures show, as was in
ferred from the increased number OF
race riots and IynchIngs in the North
ern States, that the negro population
in the North is growing rapidly. From
1890 to 1900 the number of negroes in
the fourteen Southern States increased
from 6.71O, $50 to 1885, 073, or at the
rate of Is. 20 per cent. and the North
ern, Eastern and Western States from
IT'S, 094 to 997, Acc, or at the rate of %. 10
per cent. The increase in New York
was more that in Mary land or in Vir-
ginia. The increase IN Pennsylvania,
bringing tie negro population there up
to 15G, S45, brings the number Of Penn
sylvania negroes to within fewer than
j, 900 of the negroes in Missouri.
The negro problem would be much
easier Of solution if the negroes were
evenly distributed over the whole
country. While at the North the ne
groes are excluded from the trades
unions and can find only uncertain en-
ployment, in time their condition
| there will be bettered and work of all
sorts given them that they are fit to do
No community North, South, East
or West, in spite of the theories oil

nothing of the negroes at first hand
and who are biased by an inherited
anti-Southern feeling, can hope to es

ANOTHER SORT OF TRIPBETT.

We find the following in our esteem
ed contemporary, The Charleston Post
Says The Atlanta Constitution:
"When young Whitney and his bride
get to Thomasville they will do we'll to
interview Captain John Triplett As a
chsperon for young couples who have
to be showed about, he IS without a
peer.
eve don't know who Captain Trip
lett is, but we should not think newly
we'd folks would want one of his name
to be about them all the time"
Now there are triplets and Tripletts,
and if The Post had but been familiar
with the annals of the Georgia press
for three decades past it would have
known that we were referring to Cap
tain John TripIett, the Chesterfield of
the profession and one of the most
genial, whole-souled and Iovable men
in all this end of creation
Triplets are not such grent novelties,
anyhow, since Atlanta and New York
and Montreal have recently entered
the field as producers in that line
Captain John TrIplett, however, is
one OF kind and we would not choose
to introduce the Whitneys, Prince
Henry or any other plutocrat or aristo-
crat to any one quicker than to that

FUTURE OF THE TRUSTS.

Concerning a recent address by Hen
~ Wollman on the probable duration
of trusts the New York Journal says;
many of these aggregations he pre-
dicted would die IN the next decade,
and many more in the following one,
and very few would survive the centu-
ry. ] his was not because the trust was
radically different from other CONNER
cial enterprises, but because it was SO
much like others. How many firms or
actories or banks survive from genera
ton to generation? A business house
hundred years old is about as phe-
nomepal as an individual a hundred
years old. Mr.. Wollmsn told his audi
ence that the same forces that change
the signs on Broadway every ten or
fifteen years will determine which
trusts will live. The trusts that sur
viye will do so not because they have
great capital; not because they have
suppressed competition, but because
they are conscIentiously, ecomically
and ably managed ," All of which may
be true, and doubtless there is truth in
this contention, but the country as a
whole would prefer to worry along
without trusts, though if trusts were
abolished lot of campaign thunder
would he lost,

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end.
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover uu
for short time, but cannot remove per.
