NEGRO "A SMALL EATER.
When Well and Regularly Fed the
Black Man Eats Less Than
n the White Man. s5sS n " S

There is a very popular, but very
erroneous belief that the negro is q
heartier eater than the white man"
Eaid an observant citizen, according
to the New Orleans Times Democrat,
"but after some little observation I
have come to the conclusion that the
negro is really a much smaller eater
than q white man. Ny attention was
called to the matter some time ago
by Senator Anse McLaurin, of Mis-
sissippi, who asked me If I had no-
ticed the fact that negroes, as rule,
when well fed, and when they could
get their meals regularly, ate less
than white men. frankly confessed
that / had noticed no such thing, and
said further that Z did not believe il
was so. OF course, my conclusion
was merely 9 hasty generalization,
and was due mainly to the popular
belief. Ny interest in the matter
was reused by the ra ther firm state
ment made by the Mississippi states
man, and so made series Of OBJ
eervations, the results Of which have
been a revelation, for they have up
set the opinions of a lifetime. am
now in position to assert that il
the negro is we'll and regularly fed
he will eat at least a third less than
. white man" 81. II y 83

two holes, one on each side of the nat,

good circufa ton all the time. There
are ways OF punching the holes artis-

His Death.

A remarkable funeral has taken place

balmed bodies Of Mrs. Jenny Kingdom,
who died 40 years ago, and Of her
'daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Jane
Gibbs Kingdom, who passed away IS
years since, were inferred side by side
in the presence Of, a large number Of

Mr.. Harry de Spencer Kingdom, a
man of very eccentric habits, has Just
died. After his death the e1nbalmed
body of his mother was found in one
of the rooms Of his house, and that
OF his wife, also embalmed, was dis
covered in the greenhouse.
Some years ago Mr.. Kingdom built a
mausoleum with three sarcophagi for
the reception of the bodies of him, elf,
his wife and mother. His own body

been successful in number OF cases

tuberculin failed IL years ago.
Prof. Schroeder, laryngologist, and
Prof. Weichselbaum, bacteriologist at

ROBINS EARN THEIR CHERRIES

II More Mo Fruit Than The Can
34 Nh . Possibly Consume. E

An orchardist at Fulton ma kes COM,
plant against the robins OF & 4 ack rob
ins as he calls them. He says they.
are nipping all the bloss oms Of his
cherry trees. They just strip the trees,
and the ground beneath them is white
with blossoms. He says the wicked
birds tear the hearts out Of the blos-
SONS and then bite the stems in two,
and let them fall. and fears that his
cherry crop will be ruined, says the
Portland Oregonian. "A member Of the
John Burroughs society who has been
applied to- for informatio on this sub
ject says the orchardist is mis- taken;
y the robins do cut off any blossoms
It Is only defective ones, or such as
have insects in them, and that the birds
4 are doing good instead Of harm. He
says he puts up nests Of boxes among
MS trees to enable birds Of any kind,
even sparrows, to make their homes
on his grounds. He says that birds help
themselves to q few cherries when
ripe, but they are welcome to them, as
they have earned them by destroying
insect pests. It is hoped that this in
formation viii satisfy the orchardist.
At - doubtless correct, for if robins
Were as destructive as he, imagines
there would long ago have ceased to
