Editor JudsOn Acquitted.

William H. H. Judson, editor of The Besesmer Weekly, was yesterday &C., quilted of the charge of criminal libel brought by J. H. Williamson, editor or the Bessemer Workman. in a hear ing before Judge William Jackson of the inferior court.
 The charge grew out of a wordy war that has been waged between the two editors for some time. The editorial battle partly grew out of the Rountree incident in the Alabama Press Asso- citation, the two papers taking opposite sides on the question.
 In discussing the decision of the judge, Captain Trotter, attorney for Editor Judson, said:
 The charge against MT. Judson wac based on the section in the Alabama code pertaining to criminal libel. The new conotitutivn pruytde- that no al- legation is criminal libel if the truth fulness of the allegation is proven. In the hearing today the editorial of MT, Judson was established as true, hence the decision"

A Lively Discussion.


 c. H. Bliss, a writer of some note, and Health Officer Pryor have been using the columns of the local papers to great extent within the past few days regarding the healthfulness of the city. Mir. Bliss wrote a commu- nication and had it published in a pa- per Sunday. The health officer felt called upon to defend his department from what he thought were unjust at tacks and he had printed over his sig nature strong letter denying the al legations. This morning MT. Bliss makes the point that the health de- partment is doing all it can with the limited money available, and makes a plea for additional money or for the issuance of bonds for the establish ment of better sewerage system.

 In the treatment of consumption, the lungs-the seat of the disease-are rarely reached by the medicines used This is remedied by Prof. Jacob, of Berlin, by direct injection into the
 lungs. He had previously been suc- cessful with similar treatment of
 brain and spinal diseases, but did not experiment uponI human tuberculosis
 until animals had been found to bear
 the treatment satisfactorily. The
 larynx and windpipe first being made
 insensible by cocoaine, a small rubber
 tube is introduced through the mouth
 directly into the lungs. With a small
 syringe the medicament is then blown
 into the lungs, the whole operation
 requiring ten minutes and being well
 borne by the patient In this way
 bacilli in the lungs were completely destroyed in four to eight weeks.

Efforts of the Meteorological Council to make arrangements with Lloyds have failed, but the approach of future storms is to be signalled from ships crossing the ocean. It Is expected that In winter, when the western coasts of Europe are often swept by severe gales, the warnings will be of great value.

A Useful List of Books for Children.

A strong bond for holding a family together is
the habit of reading aloud for an hour or two sew
eral evenings during the week. Information
should not be the object of such reading, but cul-
ture IN one of its finest forms will be gained, if
the best books are chosen. Boys and girls who
have been studying the greater part of the day
should either read or have read to them books
interesting, amusing or pathetic. Books of travel,
well written, biographies of interesting persons.
historical and literary essays by men of letters all
afford delightful reading. Among the best books
for children are the following: "Gulliver's Tray
els" "Alice in Wonderland" Hawthorne's "Won-
der Book" "The Arabian Nights" "The Water
Babies" "Tanglewood Tales" "Tom Brown at
Rugby" "The jungle Book" "Aesop's Fables
"Uncle Remus," "Pilgrim's Progress" Robinson
Crusoe," "The Swiss Family Robinson and the
Waverley Novels-From an article on Reading
for Children, by Mrs. Theodore w. Birney, in the

THE HOME CIRCLE
Flotsam.+

Last night we stood together Thought and l
And watched the stormy tide of Time rise high
Upon the Old Years shore. What wrecks were
there!
A thousand tender memories,-the air
Was full of their rich fragrance, as they lay
In heaps upon the strand,-and pictures gay
We saw of homes we once had known; of sunset
skies
That we had looked upon with lovers eyes.
Yea more,-portraits we saw that once had hung
On the hearts sacred walls, and some were young,
And other some now wore the scars of age
Brave souls, and true, whose simple word was gage
Of loyalty.
Nor was that all we saw
Through mists of tears. Blown by the night wind
Full many a plan that rode the sea full sail
With hope aboard, lay at our feet dasht by the
gale.
And shall we gather them, and treasure them,
And spend the feeting hours in vain regret
For them! Nay, let them go, though eyes be wet
That watch them break!
Life lies before us still
And faith and courage, and a cheerful will.

Andrew Carnegie's Advice.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, in a recent address be-
fore a graduating class in New York, gave some
excellent advice to the young men on how to at
tain success in life. Among other good things,
he said:
"There are several classes of young men. There
are those who do not do all their duty, there are
those who profess to do their duty, and there is
a third class, far better than the other two, that
do their duty and a little more.
"There are many great pianists, but Paderewski
is at the head because he does a little more than
the others. There are hundreds of race-horses,
but it is those who go a few seconds faster than
the others that acquire renown. So it is in the
sailing of yachts. 1t is little more that that wins.
So it is with the young and old men who do a
little more than their duty.
mo one can cheat a young man out of success
in life. You young lads have begun we'll. Keep
on. Don't bother about the future. Do your duty
and a little more, and the future Will take care
of itself"

In Anticipation of Spring.

In an editorial which appears the middle of
February it seems a little early to talk of Spring,
and yet every lively minded individual is already
beginning to look for signs. Sometimes on a
thawy day there comes a breath out of the South
land which sets ones blood t~ingling with anticipa-
ton. One knows that it is now only a matter of
days until one may listen confidently for the faint
homesick note of the bluebird dropping out of a
clouded sky; and of a few days more until the a6.
vent of the early flowers, when Spring shall have
made her feet beautiful in the woodland and upon
the mountain.
Many are the enjoyments of the coming season,
many are its rewards. The body and the spirit
JON in a reJuvenescence whatever the attitude of
the mind. But it is better to be wholly in accord
with the new life stirring in the world. Certainly
there IS no better way to get in tune with the sea-
son than to take an active interest in it's NANTES
tatlons, to be wisely curious about the secrets of
Nature. You will find that Spring will come to
you with double meaning if you use some method
IN looking for her. Do not let the birds and the
flowers be a mere meaningless concourse-a pro-
cesslon without head or end. Learn to know them
and the times of their coming. Thoreau made a
boast that, If suddenly awakened from a long
sleep, he could tell the day of the month and al
most the hour of the day by the aspect of Nature
in his Concord woods. You cannot do that, but
you can add greatly to your pleasures and your in
forests by taking up the study of animated Ma
ture, by considering the flowers of the field. Of
all times of the year. now is the season to open
Natures book. Watch for the bluebirds and the
robins. Learn to know the cry of the killdee and
the soft note of the phoebe, and then go on to OBJ
serve their nesting-times and habits. The woods
are twice as interesting if you can name the
and if you know the months in which to
expect them. 1t is very easy to learn all these
things. Time, patience, a pair of sharp eyes. per
sistency-lend these things out, and the returns
are great. You can't have a better hobby.-Wo-
mans Home Companion.

The Care of the Body Should Have Our Attention
Editors Progressive Farmer:

AS the columns of The Progressive Farmer are
open for suggestions and criticism, [ write to
make a suggestion. Perhaps two-thirds of Adams
race have never learned to eat and take proper
care of the body which God has given them. They
gulp down the food they eat in chunks and Jumps
without properly masticating the same. They
pour into their stomachs great quantities of wa
ter, milk, coffee-and some of them the soul-de-
stroying stuff called whiskey-as if their stom-
achs were tanks made of iron or steel. And when
the ovcr-taxed stomach can bear no more and d.
seascs set in, the doctor is called in. With all his
skill and medicine, if the person dies, his friends
will call it a case of Divine Providence, when in
reality, 1T Is self-murdcr, ignorantly committed.
MIR. Editor, we need line upon line and precept
upon prcccpt on the subject of hygiene. [ have
been a constant reader of The Progressive Farmer
almost ever since it had an existence. I look unon
1T as my friend, and l feel that | would be very
ungrateful if l failed to appreciate what nv
friend was striving to teach me, to-wit: How to
better my condition as a farmer.
Yours for success,
