Sourea or Typhoid Fever.

Recent investigations have shed q
food Of light upon the sources Of that
dread disease typhoid fever.
It was formerly believed that i'm
pure drinking water was the chief and
almost the soul cause Of this malady.
but It has been demonstrated that there
are other pregnant sources Of 1t. The
British Medical Journal, In q recent
issue, gives the result of an investiga-
ton made by the medical officers of the
British army n to the part played by
soil, fabrics and flies In the dissemina-
ton Of typhoid.
These investigators reached the con
clusion that, while drinking water
does cause much Of the disease, it has
other causes whose importance IL un-
dere~timated.
It Is certain that many wells and
springs are contaminated by the soil,
for It has been proved that typhoid
germs will live 81 days underground.
1t requires only = very slight current
to carry this infection into q water sup
ply. The germs will live In q wet soil
81 days, and In the dust Of the soil %
days. It Is very dangerous In the lat
ter form.
Flies are great distributors Of typhoid
fever, carrying It's germs to milk, flesh
and other food stuff.

and this soil turns to dust in dry

C~heerfulness, enforced at first, by
and by inspires q gracious content
ment and self-sacrifice, at first q con-
sciOus struggle, looses itself In the self
forgetfulness Of love. In such ways as
these the daily crosses Of duty change
into the many.rayed crown of life.
The next best thing to never being
beaten Is not to know when you are
beaten. The pluck which refuses to
recognize failure in the majority Of
cases holds fast oil IL has transformed
defeat into victory.
Before we indulge In throwing
stones We should be very careful to
ascertain IL Our lives are such that we
can atior.l to throw stones at those who
may he AZ good H. ourselves.
Every life contains far more than one
spot Of sunshine. Hunt them out.
and you will be rich in q new kind of
gold, that thieves cannot steal.
The really wise .man considers not
only when TO stop, but also when 1t Is
possible to stop; and he often finds, In
SO considering, that the best time of
all to stop is before one has begun to
GO.

MCDANIEL Road N NORTH CAROLINA.
no exaggeratian to say that the roads
Of Mecklenburg county, N. c. are the
best to be found In the entire south.
The county OF Mecklenburg Is near
the South Carolina line. and Is pierced
by that division Of the Southern rail-
road which extends from Washington
to Atlanta. The county seat Is Char.
lotte. q progressive city Of thirty thou
sand inhabitants. Within q radius
OF one hundred miles Of this city there
are three hundred cotton factories,
comprising more than half Of the spin
dies and looms operated In the south.
In 1850 the authorities Of the county
conceived the idea Of utilizing the con.
victs for the improvement Of the pub
lie roads. Instead Of locking up OF.
tenders in the county jail or sending
them to the penitentiary It was decid-
ell to employ them at home In improv-
Ing the highways A Inv was passed
authorizing the use Of ~convicts for
this purpose. The convicts were or
ganized Into O squad or camp. placed
under the control Of q competent su-
pervisor and engineer. and the work
Of grading. Strengthening and macad-
amizing the roads was begun. A short
experience demonstrated that the con.
vict laborers cost the county only Is
cents per day per head. including food.
lodging. clothing and overseeing.
The outfit for the road work, con-
sisting Of a steam roller. crusher. bins.
portable engine. road machine and q
screen for asserting the rocks, cost
about 5000. At present the county
has In operation two road outfits and
employs about sixty convicts with
each outfit. The total expenditure in
constructing each mile Of macadam-
lied road 10 from $1,000 to $500.
not including bridges. In summer the
convicts live In tents along the road.
and In winter they live In barracks
The rock usei for the roads Is bought
from the farmers. who haul and depos.
Il It at the convict camp.
These roads have been In process Of
construction for twelve years at the
rate Of about ten miles per year. At
present there r more than 100 miles
Of macadamlzed roads In the county.
The roads radiate In all directions from
the center Of Charlotte and extend ten
or fifteen miles to the county limits.
The roads of this county have become
famous that delegations from many
other states have come here to inspect
them.
Many good roads organizations exist
In the south. Professor J. A. Holmes
OF the University Of North Carolina
has Travelled In many states. giving IL
Illustrated lectures on road coustruc-
ton and organizing good roads clubs.
His campaign has borne much fruit.
and the south a now boast Of some
Of the best and most picturesque roads

The Origfn Of Mt. and llrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply william OF John-that 10 70 ny, be
bad only o Christian .name without any
kind Of "handls" before II or surname
after 1t, says the Philadelphia Record.
Some means Of distinguishing q John
or william from another John or william
became necessary. Nioknames derived
from q mans trade or his dwelling plaos
or from some personal peculiarly wers
taoked ON to bis Christian name, and plain
John became John Smith. Az yet thers
were no "misters" In the land.
Some John Smith accumulated more
wealth than the bulk Of his feliows-be'
oame perhaps . landed proprietor or an
employer Of hired labor. Then he began
20 be called in the Norman-French Of the
day the ''maistre'' Of this 2lsoO or thst
Of these workmon or Of those.
In time the "maistre," or "maister."
% IL soon became, got tacked On before
bis name, and he became. MaistsR Smith
and his wife was Maistress Smith.
Gradually the sense Of possession was
lost sight Of, and the title was conferred
upon any kindly mere possession OF
wealth or holding some position Of more
or less consideration and importance.

The man over so, unless he has his
own business or profession, has today
little chance to get ahead in the world.
The cry Is COR young men and the
older one are ruthlessly crowded
aside.
This IL true, though IL should not be.
1t Is q diseased condition due to the
freshened ambition of young men to
push themselves to the front In the
first quarter. .
We leap at success nowadays instead
OF climbing to It. step by step, slowly
but surely.
Many an active young man, to his
own amazement, has alighted squarely
upon his shore Of the promised land,
without having fitted himself for pa.
tient toll aud self-denial to appreciate
and enjoy his achievement.
So his conquest Is but mockery. His
success Is but q bubble.
He IL like the turtle placed upon q
high rock: he feels foolish and out Of
place where he Is, he knows not how
to climb or fly, and to jump means an
Inhalation.
More men have been cursed by early
success than by early failures.
Success Is sweet only In proportion
to the effort put into IL. Riches easily
gained are Don squandered. And
then the man Ii far poorer than IL he
had never bad them, for his zest Is
gone and he Is an old man in spirit,
regardless OF his years.
The business world today IL full OF
men whose lives have been wrecked
by early success that were due more to
gall and accident than TO real worth.
BY the time they reach fifty 1t Is apt
to be discovered that there is nothing
In them.
There IL m immesurable host, too,
who have fritted away their prime and
dissipated their emotions and energies
In strenuous, but divided and ill.con-
sidered purposes. At 50 the fight is oil
gone out OF them.
The best years Of a mans life ought
to be between 80 and IS.
1t Is his own fault If they are not.
His judgment, If he has any, is
soundest duripg that period, or even
later in life.
A man upward of 80 will do his own
work conscientiously, be more tract.
able and more readily fit himself to
conditions.
1t is "a violation Of the natural order
Of things to thrust a man aside when
he Is ut his best.
One who saw deeply into the mys'
terry and meaning Of life wrote:
.Grow old with me!
The best II yet 10 DO.
The last OF lie. for which the firsl was made
| Our times are In His hand.
| Who saith: A whole ] planned,
Youth shows but hall: trust God, see oil. no
