Poor LO aa n WOrki in z m a .

The westward march of civilized labor has effected no change more re- markable than the conversion of the hitherto lazy, shiftless Indian buck" into workingman at $1.50 a day. Large gangs of them are now em- ployed by a western railroad in track laying, and they seem to like the work better than praneing around on ponies, decked out with feathers and war paint. Perhaps the strangest part of the new condition is the fact that it is the men and not the women that are doing the work, complete reversal of the old way. Thus has the long, suffering squaw been emancipated.- Chicago Chronicle.

TCO SWIFT A PACE.
incre"se Of Insanity and Crime as . Result of ExtrnvnRRnt uabits
 and Dissipation.

some startling conclusions are set
 forth in a report drawn up by Dr. Ar
 thur Mcdonald, specialist to the Unit ed States bureau of education. for the information of congress. One of them IS that within the last 90 or 10 years there has been an increase, relative 10 population, in crime, suicide, in- sanity and other forms of abnormal | ity.' In giving his opinion o: some or the causes for this. increase. says Washington report, Dr. Mcdonald says:
 The rapid development of society.
 as we have sut gested, is possibly one or the main causes of the increase of crime and abnormaliiy; it includes a great number of new inventions, in- creased opportunities for travel and the enterprise of the press enabling us to read all the news of the world at breakfast. It was quite otherwise 50 years ago.
 This haste of civilization puts an | abnormal strain upon the nervous sys- tenn as compared with the muscular system. Thus the electric car, auto- mobile and the telephone tend to make people exercise less and think more. A reaction has set in already through the development of systems of phys | ical culture. The less cost of living and the increase of wealth. with the luXuries of the table, have tended 10 overeating. which. in connection with
 lack of exercise. has had its evil effects and doubtless produced an additional reaction on the nervous system. When the nerves are unstrung by | overpressure the will may become weak, depression and pessimism set in and loss of self-control follow with its consequent abnormal actions lead ing on to crime and other social evils Tn the statistics of crime some spe- cial points may be noted. The youth, as compared with adults, have com mitted more crimes as society has de- veloped. Suicide among children has greatly increased this might be re- garded as symptom of diseased pre- cociousness.
 'The recent rapid development of women by entering more and more into the work of men-a transition in- volving great strain-seems to have some unwelcome accompaniments. In Vienna, for instance, general paral- ysis, mans disease, is increasing among women. In Belgium insanity and suicide have been growing rt la lively faster in women than in men. In Austria it has been found that the criminal influx into cities is relative ly greater in women than in men and
 the effects of heredity are greater upon women than upon men.
 If we shake the tree the bad apples fall first. So, in periods of rush and strain the weaknesses of human na- ture become more apparent. But this increase in evil may be only tenn porary one. due to the necessary pres sure of adaptability to modern civil ization. The increase in crime, for in- stance, is not necessarily proof that the world is growing worse. Periods of decline in history show that the
 world does not grow better in a straight line upward"

 CASE NO. 24,613.-Mr. Joseph Gaines, foreman of the Harter mills, Fostoria, O., says: ''I just as ar- dently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to-day, and it is the month of October, 1899, as l did in the sum- mer of 1896, when, after taking a course of the treatment, they cured me of kidney complaint and back ache, which was often so acute that 1 was unable to sleep at night and had difficulty in remaining on my feet all day. I am still free from the lumbago or any annoyance from my kidneys, and unhesitatingly de- clare that I am only too pleased to re-endorse my opinions of Doan's Kidney Pills"

The Seaboard Air Line Railway, of Ports mouth, Va, Is advertising a beautiful, but comparatively little known, region on the West Coast of Florida in three booklets called The Land of Manatee." They are issued by the Seaboard, but can scarcely be termed railroad advertisement, as the only mention of the road Is Tn a brief and modest note printed on the inside of one Of the cover pages. They are, in fact, a description ot Manatee County, Florida, with some account of its history and its many interesting features which will ap- peal equally to the general reader, the in- vestor, the fruit and vegetable grower, and 10 the tourist and sportsman. The author IS MT. Morton NJ. Cassaday, writer of experience. The beauty of the Manatee country Is well described, and the marvel ous fertility of the soil and equally won derful healthfulness of the climate are told of Tn way to leave no doubt in the read CT s mlnd. Manatee county must be the gardenspot of all Florida, and the won der IS that 1t has not sooner been settled ana the latent riches ot its soil turned into good American dollars. A most charming feature Of these booklets Is their typo- graphical appearance. They are printed on handmade paper, and are delightfully."- illustrated with photographic half-tone plates and ornamented with decorative de- signs Tn Hat monotones that make them really valuable brochures. Persons in- terested in Florida, and especially in fine possibilities of orange growing and truck gardening below the frost line. will find these booklets not only interesting, but full 11 Di valuable and practical information. They may be had from representatives of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, or upon application to the General Passenger Agent, Portsmouth, Va.
