THE SECRET.
How Doctors Protect Themselves
 From Contagious Diseases.

Doctors rarely catch contagious dis eases. Almost everybody knows this, but few know how they escape Many be- lieve that the doctor has some charm or antiseptic which protects him. pr. Hart man lately made the truth of this matter public, that all might realize It's benefit. Contagious diseases are conveyed by min ute organisms known as disease germs. These germs find their entrance into the system by the mucous membrane. If the mucuous membrane is healthy, they can- not get into the system. If the mucuous membrane is affected by catarrh the germs find easy access. Catarrhal secre- tions furnish exactly the material upon which they thrive and multiply. To get rid of the catarrh and thus preserve the mucuous membrane healthy, is the only way to be safe from contagious diseases This explains why 1t Is that some people catch diseases easier than others.

Hammock Time Ia at Band

Summer time has many charms which the winter season knows not. Among them is the opportunity to spend pleasant hours late in the afternoons swinging in the hammock, that instrument of comfort in- vented long ago by some fellow who knew a thing pr two.
 One of the chief pleasures that the ush- erinB in of the summer time carries on its wings Is the hammock, and in it many a long nap Is taken, while the humble bee buzzes lazily in the air and the long peaked humming bird sips the sweet from honeysuckle blooms that make the breeze fragrant around the vine-clad piazza.
 The hammocks for 1903 are of the CO., quetish and alluring kind. The very sim pie old. hammock, those of the weather proof and inexpensive character, seem to have been relegated to the past. This year the sumer girl with her novel will nestle in the lap of a cushioned and gaily bedecked hammock

Cotton Patch for spectators.

In the public buildings of Birmingham, on both business and pleasure bent, one cannot fail but notice that large mum Der of persons are strangers to the city and many of them strangers to the south
 It Is interesting to note the many ques- tions asked by some of these visitors, especially by those who hall from the northern states.
 Some of them, many of them, have never seen cotton stalk have never viewed a cotton field, where for acres and acres the fieecy white has unfurled itself from thousands of stalks to make a spectacle that, so common to southern people, Is ever one of more than passing comment from the northern sojourner.
 It has been suggested that 1t would not be bad idea for some one to plant a small cotton patch in some frequented spot in the city, at Capital park, the court, or the plot of ground on the east side of the government building.
 It is argued that such an innovation would tend to increase the interest of the northern visitor In viewing the sights of busy, hustling Birmingham. Such min iature cotton field could be maintained at very small expense.

 As a matter of fact, the site is now corn field. Yes, the plot of ground, once famous as the capitol of the state of Ala bama, and even previous to that time Spanish fort, and which has been deserted for years has at last been converted Into a corn field.
 Before 1si9 St. Stephens was the terri torial capital of the state. At that time the boundary line of the territory in cluded a large scope of country which Is not now a part of the state.
 St. Stephens was at that time com mercial center, being at the head of navi- gation on the Tombigbee river. The town boasted of a bank. theater and other and energy for period of such early date.
 Many interesting stories are related by the oldest settlers in regard to old St Stephens and among them is the follow ing:
 An old Methodist preacher happened to be in the town one Sabbath and standing on street corner delivered 8 sermon. He was immediately seized by a number of citizens. The crowd escorted the d. vine to boat at the brink of the river and telling him to get in proceeded to row the boat to the opposite shore. The preacher was told in no gentle tones that if he ever showed his face In that town again that he would be treated to a tar and feather experience that would prove anything but pleasant
 The minister meekly submitted to this summary dismissal from the little town, but as his prosecutors departed and left him in the wilderness across the river he prophesied that a time would come when the foxes would burow in the foun- dations of the then prosperous town, and his prophecy has been fulfilled.

AN ACT OF TREACHERY

The Reno Journal elevates it's edi-
torial eyebrows at the bold and saucy
suggestion of the Silver State to the
effect that the proposed shelving of
Governor Sadler in the matter of the
wardenship of the State Prison is the
breaking of a solemn pledge, made
to the former Governor in order to
preserve a semblance OF unity in the
ranks of the "antis" and thus elect a
governor who is not a Republican
III announcement in several Demo-
cratic papers that Sadler is down and
out is ample evidence that the hybrid
anti-Republican party in Nevada is
guilty of another act of treachery and
~mendacity.
