Filth an Opposition to Progress.
This calls to mind the southern
statesman who vigorously opposed all
measures OF sanitary reform because
he believed that disease was the de-
Tense the Creator had provided for his
people. He argued that yellow fever
was better protection against white
| invasion than stone wall built
around his country; that 1t were bet
| ter for his people to remain in the
moested than to make themselves
clean and suffer white neighbors.
| Such policy, If followed out. would

herents to be swept up with their rub
| Dish and disposed of as unceremoni-
| ously as garbage is treated The march
of progress is too swift for its advance
| to be checked by barbados OF filth.
| Odd Customs Of South America.
The South American lawmakers and
officials create many odd rules for the
government of their countrymen. The
| matter OF passenger service on the
railway offers an instance. On one
| line the distinction between first and
second class passengers is the wear
| ing of shoes. No barcfooted persons
are allowed in the best coaches. A
well dressed man. carrying baby
boy. was made TO ride In the second
class apartment because the infant
had no shoes on. He was told that he
could go first class. but the child could
not.
Another odd custom which is sup
posed to be distinctive of gentility IS
the wearing of cravats. AT any pub.
