LUCK IN THE LETTER 3D."
Worst Foes Of Gardener Begin with
"Wn-"D" Related TO Things
Of Doleful Nature.

A writer has discovered that many OF
the worst foes Of the horticulturist be-
gin with W." and he instances worms,
weevils, wind and other workers Of
wicksdness. This suggests q question
~ to whether there Is any natural group
ing Of good or evil things under paruc-
ular letters. Take "b," for example, and
consider how many boons and blessings
to man begin with It. The baker, butch
or and brewer bring him bread, beef and
beer. For additional foods he has bacon,
black bass, beans, bloaters. broccoli.
broth, bivalves. bananas, berries, bis
cults, buns and butter. Afte- banquet
OF bonnes-bouches he may bring out his
'baccy while he bestrides his bicycle.
These are but few Of the beneneent
things included under that blessed letter
3D." Now, as a contrast, take 3D." and
among the first words we think Of are
damp, dark, dreary, dank, dull, drowned,
dismal, dirty, damned, dusty, bastard.
daft, ducked, dosed, dragged, doubtful,
disguised, doctor, diseased, doldrums.
dungeons, depressed, despairing, dead,
drunk, and so on, the very sound Of
which is enough to drive one into doleful
dumps.

The Prosperous South.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
In looking over their material interests
the Southern States have the best reason
to be well content with the situation
What that section raises brings good
prices, and what it manufactures sells at
profit and is protected from cheap foreign
labor and wrong economic systems. The
national expansion of the last ten years is
calculated 10 help the South more than
any other part of the country. Closer re-
lations with the West Indies was one oil
the results of the war with Spain. The
Isthmian canal is prominently to the adj
vantage of the South, and will give South
ern ports the shortest lines to the Pacific
the Philippines and Eastern Asia. River
improvement in the Mississippi Valley
will benefit the South at least as much as
any other region. Sound money and pro-
lection are good things for every one OF
the States.

Viewing the President in a new Light.

viewing the President IN new LlpDt.
Augusta, Ca, Chronicle Dem.
Senator Morgan takes pessimistic view
of the Crumpacker bill to reduce the con-
gressional representation in Southern
States. He thinks that Fairbanks, as
president of the Senate, will enter into
this scheme and force it through. We
prefer to believe otherwise.
Of course, it is in the power of the Re-
pubicans to carry out this uuwise scheme,
but they will not do so if the President
intimate, at the crucial moment, that he
does not desire such legislation. If he, ss
has been stated, wishes to stand we'll with
the South and bis mothers people and
expects to make An effort in that direction
Crumpacker will become more picturesque
than potent.
Meanwhile, it is just as well for our peo'
pie and papers to give the President a
chance to make square deal' and be-
come the chief of the whole country, re-
firing voluntarily, later on, with general
good will. He may do SO, and nothing
should be unnecessarily said or done to
thwart his presumed aud excellent inten-
tons.

Trouble Enough.

When Philip Verrill Mighels wa:
gathering material for his novel
"Bruvver Jims Baby" he ran across an
old miner who unconsciously posed for
his character Of If-Only Jim. The old
man sat alone in his cabin, where the
hand of woman had never been known
and dirt reigned triumphant. The con-
versation turned upon cooking.
"Yaas," drawled the old man, ~ got
me one o. them there cook books wunst,
but l never could do nothin' withit."
What was the trouble?" asked Mr.
Mighels, persuasively.
why, every one o. them blamed re-

The Population Of France.
Philadelphia Press.

I0lldQelpnlh FUSS,
In France there continues to be com
plant of the decrease in the birth rate
though there appears no good reason for
such discomfort The number of births
las, year was S26,712, as compared with
S45, 1878 the year before, and an average
of S5l ,O44 for the preceding ten years.
The number of deaths was less, 80 that
the excess of births over deaths was 49,
LOG. That was a small natural increase in
the population of France, but it was sufi-
cient.
France has large population for her
size, and while the births are proportion
ately much less than in Great Britain or
Germany, they are as many as the Cir
cumstances of the nation justify. The
French are not migratory people in the
same sense as are the British or Germans
Hence as large birth rate proportonately
in France as in Germany or Great Britain
would soon overcrowd tue country and
result in want and misery. There is less
distress among the French people than
among those Of any other European nation
despite the enormous taxation imposed on
them.
If the French Government ceases to
look for an opportunity to revenge her
self on Germany, as now seems to be
probable, and reduces her outlay for war
purposes, the French people would soon
be, in an economical sense, far in advance
of those of any other European country.
The failure to increase rapidly in popula-
ton is something which France does not
need to worry over.
