TIE GOLDEN DAYS.

What royal pomp invests these golden days,
Where the oblique and unaweary sun,
His bright ecliptic journey almost run,
Kisses the leaning globe with tempered rays!
What pageantrieS of color blush blaze
Along the woods of crimson gold and dun,
When sunset strikes the mountains. one by one,
And kndles them to splendor we gazei
So dies the year in beauty. On her cheek
This hectic soon will pale, and wan and weak,
And all bereaved Of her imperial charms,
Winter shall fold her in his icy arms,
And draw above her form his spotless shroud
While woodland winds shall wall with sorrow loud!

THE PiKERs' LAMENT.
PLANT A HOME.

Ian 1 a HUME
Young beginners in life's morning,
Don't forget the rainy day;
Sunshine cannot last forever.
Or the heart be always gay.
Lay Up something as you roam.
Choose some blooming spot of beauty,
Some fair lot. and plant a home.
You, too. who have lots around you,
Coming up to take your place:
Give them something TO remember
Homestead memories let them trace.
Would you feel the pride of manhood,
Let the sun your dwelling greet.
Breath the blessed air Of freedom,
Own the soil beneath your feet.
You, too, who perhaps have squandered
I-ife's fair morn-'t It's not too late.
Start at once TO WOO bright fortune,
Rail no more at So-caHed fate;
Sow the golden seeds of saving
In the rch and quickening loan,
Spend your last days not with strangers.
Enter Heavens gate from home

ARMY's HEALTH RECORD.
Death Rate Has Increased From
 1894 to 15.40.


 Washington, Oct. 7.-An increase in the death rate of the army from 1894 per thousand in 1901 to 15.49 per thousand in 1902 Is shown in the annual report of Surgeon General R. M. O'Reilly for the fiscal year ending June 30. This increase is attributed to cholera. which caused 3.54 deaths per thousand. slight im- provement appears in the admission rate for disease and injury, which declined from 1791 .59 per thousand in 1901 to TIC. .51 per thousand in 1902. Discussing other features of the health of the army. Sur geon General O'Reilly's report says:
 "The enrolment. of about 5000 native Filipino scouts having added new racial element to the army 1t becomes a mat ter of much interest to study the com parative effects of disease on them and on our white and colored troops. For the whole army at home and abroad, dur ing the year 1902. the white troops showed an admission rate of .3S per thousand and a death rate of 14.40. The negro | troops had lS67.N admissions and 24. Il deaths per thousand, and the Malay scouts, 17O7 .21 admissions per thousand and A.04 deaths.
 The white race therefore gave the lowest figures in sickness and much the lowest mortality. The black race led in both. although the Malay closely ap- preached 1t in death rate.
 "The freedom of the Filipino from the | vice of drunkenness Is strikingly shown when we find that out of 5000 men only | three individuals were treated for alcohol | ism in one year and that while white sol dlers were admitted to sick report on ac- count of their conduct in the use of alco- hol 24, ,2S per thousand. and colored troops at the rate of 11.7O the Malay scouts showed the extremely small admission rate of 0.62 per thousand.
 "The steadily increasing prevalence of venereal disease is the most discourag- ing feature in the sick report of the army During 1902, 13OO0 admissions were from this cause alone, equivalent to a rate of 160.94 per thousand. Admissions to sick report from alcoholism in 1902 were slightly in excess of the number, includ- ing volunteers. for 1901. A total num- Der of l,S3O cases. equivalent to 9 .65 per | thousand. of strength occurred. It Is i'm possible not to attribute large part of the steadily increasing venereal disease of the army to the loss of the canteen. where the soldier, if he SO desired, could get his beer throughout the month. but was not subject to the temptations to in temperance and vice now attendant upon the expenditure of a full months pay at the low resorts infesting the outskirts of our military reservations.
 "A slight diminution of insanity occur red in the army during 1902. There were 1SS new cases. equivalent to the admis- sion rate of 1.1 per thousand, which is almost identical with the rate for the | decade in 1901 to 1900"

Manley, who has been Professor Lang ley's chief assistant in the work prelim- mary to the. attempted flight. made the aerodrome and escaped with ducking. At no time was there any semblance or flight, the initial momentum, the lightness of the machine and the sustaining surface of the wings furnished the conditions which account for the hundred yards transit of the air boat from it's sixty-foot elevation to the water.
 Professor Manley gave out the follow ing statement.
 ''It must be understood that the test today was entirely an experiment and the first of its kind ever made. The bal ancing, upon which depended the suc- cess of the flight. was based upon the test of the models and proved to be incorrect. but only an actual trial of the full-sized machine itself could determine this. My confidence in the future success of the work is unchanged"

 Picture of New South.
 Were I an artist, endowed with the gifth of scenic depletion, would love to paint a picture of the New South. the Industrial South, of one or two decades hence. feel, however, that the feeble effort would be capable of putting forth would be totally inadequate to do jus tice to the portrayal of such a vast con- ception, notwithstanding the enormity of the supply of subject matter. But let me say, that with our abundance of raw material, cheap fuel, and desirable im- migration, the hum of machinery will be heard issuing from factories of every va- riety and kind, and our surplus of fin- ished products transported through our great shipping ports to the markets of the world. Our fertile lands will be made to yield up their maximum in diversified crop production in response to the touch of the educated and intelligent husband man. Improved livestock of all kinds will be found on every farm, converting the cheaper, or surplus, food crops into labor, in our work stock, and into food products for man, in our meat-producing animals. and with a resultant rich har- vest of cheap fertility for our soils. What a pleasant picture would all of this be to look upon. and how prosperous and happy would the Old South be, under such new CT conditions, and many more that have failed to enumerate. Fortunately, let me say, they are. everyone of them, possible of realization. Let us all then. individ- ually and collectively, labor earnestly and indefatigably for the speedy realiza- ton of this era of greater happiness and prosperity in our dear old Southland"
