Union and is still upon the State seal. .Beefheads." the people are called, since their chief occupation is cattle raising. Alabamians are lizards" people of Florida "fly-up- the -creeks:' in Georgia they are "buzzards:" in Con- necticut "muskrats."
 Tho people of Arkansas are tooth picks" which is a playful allusion to the bowie knife that does such good service in that part of the country. An old American ballad says:

 With a strong Arkansas toothpick
 Screwed in every joint of steel.
 oregon is the "webfoot" country be- cause the excessive rains in winter render Its climate such as only web- fotted animal can appreciate. The people are called hard cases" the explanation to be found in the habits of the early settlers.
 The stones of the Rock Creek bridge at Washington. D. C., are named after the avenue of the city. The name "Pennsylvania" appears on the key stone of the bridges arch. This fact is cited by some as the explanation of why the State, named after the most peaceful of all early American set- tiers, is called the keystone State" But a better explanation Is found In the circumstances attending the sign- CTS of the Declaration of Independence. Six colonies had cast thetr vote in the affirmative, six as opposed to the measure. John Morton. representing Pennsylvania, cast the vote that broke the tie, and by so doing he gained for his State the honor of being the key stone" in the arch of liberty.

Proeres. in steam Turblnes.

That the actual displacement or the reciprocating steam engine by the steam turbine for many purposes Is proceeding at rapid pace in this coun- ty is indicated in the statement that a single company. manufacturing but one of the several types of steam turbines in the United States, took orders within the last half year for turbines for generating electricity hav- ing capacity of S2.00o kilowatts, or nearly 10000 horsepower. Three of these engines are for a Brooklyn power station and will be the largest ever constructed. It is interesting to note in this connection that wonder ful as is this transformation in power mechanism, there are engineers who predict q still more radical change in the not distant future in the develop ment of power from gas engines. This form of engine has been developed to a marked extent in Europe. especially in Germany. and American and English engineers are just beginning to awake to the possibilities in this direction. Ac- cording to one authority. we may yet see steam engines and turbines sent to the scrap heap"

Shreveport Bottled Up.

Shreveport, La, Aug. 5.-Shreveport Is effectually bottled up. Notice was received tonight at the local offices of the Vicksburg. Shreveport and Pacific Railroad, the only road remaining open, that the two remaining trains on that line had been cancelled from tonight. This leaves this city without either pas- senger or freight communication with the outside world. No mall Is being received and none sent out.
 It was reported that the Kansas City Southern would run a train from here to the Arkansas mountains. but this has been officially denied. The local health regulations do not prevent the shipment of freight from Shreveport by rail, but adjacent towns and parishes have placed strict embargo against all trains so that the train service is completely suspended. The water works company Is short of coal and if It's supply Is not replenished within a week or ten days

troduced that the city and county health officers, Drs. Goode and Acker. be authorized to communicate with Dr, Sanders, the State Health Officer. with reference to putting on additional guards along the county line between Mobile County and the Mississippi line.
 A communication from New Orleans asking permission to allow certain Catholic children to come into Mobile from New Orleans, in order that they might enter schools here, was declined.
 J. D. Martin, and A. s. Smith, two we'll known business men, were arrest ed this afternoon on complaint of Dun can Rogers. Secretary of the Board of Health, who charged them with circu- lating false reports relative to the health of this city. The cases will be vigorously prosecuted. There was con- siderable indignation among the people in the business district when the news was bruited about that these men had made remarks which were calculated to cause uneasines among the people.

pArRIoTIsM AND CITIZENSHIP.
Lessons from Travel and ExtravaEance Which should he Better Utilized.

Goodwin's Salt Lake Weekly.
 Two hundred thousand Americans will visit Europe this year. They will spend on an average of s1.o00 each. That means $2oo.oeo.eoo. That ex- plains the fact that, while this coun- try has a large foreign balance of trade in its favor, somehow the gold reserves do not increase correspond ingiy. We do not complain that Amer leans go aboard, There Is great deal of education to the thoughtful Ameri- can who goes abroad. 1t is term in the school of patriotism. for such a one invariably returns better American than when he went away, for he does not fail to see that vast advantages which our county possesses over every other land on earth, and he realize why a million people annually drift away from their native homes in Great Britain and on the continent to come to our country.
 And this impels the thought that this difference between our own and every other land should be more care fully taught in our schools. The dif- ference between the principles that govern should be impressed upon the mind of every child, for that will kin dle patriotism in the hearts of the people, and patriotism Is the only real salvation of a nation.
 Another thought shOuld IOllOW~ that Is, that while 100000 Americans are able to go aboard, there are sev- eral millions left at home who are not prospering and against whom the door of opportunity seems closed. There are a thousand missionary organiza- tions in the world, but how many so- cieties are working to move tho sur plus population in some sections out where they can find employment and make homes? What would not the s2O0, 900, 900 carried abroad this year. mostly by pleasure-seekers. accom- plish if used to make homes for the very poor of the land for those who have lost hope? The lisu of crimes and suicides published every morning In the daily papers are convincing proof that all the people of this country are not doing all they can to make our country great and It's people better.
 The chief place for work is in the schools. If every child could go out from the school with the belief that ours Is the very best country and un- der the very best government in the world, and if their brains and hands could have received the needed train ing to equip them for useful work. there would be less crimes, more hap piness and with the happiness more patriotism than there is now.
 The strength of our country rests in the quality of the citizenship of the people. There should be con- certed effort to exalt that citizenship.

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Need of Information Concerning Simple Remedies for Use in Emergencies.

Heme0tcs IOF use sH E<mcA8VhShtS' Denver Republican.
 Advice Is received from a publishing house iu Ohio that there will shortly be issued a book describing all forms of diseases and telling how to treat sudden attacks of one kind or another until expert medical aid can be sum inoned. Books like this have been published since printing was first Nn- vented, and they answer a good pur- pose Human sympathy responds quickly to human ills and in time of sickness suggested remedies fly thick and fast. -.e. .-.- -
 It is a wise mother who keeps her self well informed concerning the sim pie remedies that may be used in the home to allay suffering. She has all ways been the first aid to the injured, v but 1t Is doubtful If the mothers of the future are going to be as ready to stant tendency to neglect the little homely things which have always been so valuable in the household, and 1t Is no particular credit to the present gen eration that this Is so.
 It Is probable that very few young persons today would be of actual ser vice in case of sunstroke, scalded arm, or an instance of poison swal- lowed by accident. Yet there are 0 number of services that may be rem dered immediately which will alleviate pain and better the chances for saving life The same Is true of an ordinary fainting spell, which may or may not be serious, according to the instantane- ous treatment afforded. Many a phy- sician has arrived at the bedside of a patient to find that a vast amount of suffering could have been saved had some one been on hand in the first place with a clear head and a knowl- edge of what to do and how to do 1t.
 1t is remarkable that people con- stantly subject to the frailties of hu- man existence should allow themseves to get out of touch with natural and speedy remedies, yet every day shows an added reason why lessons in home doctoring' should receive greater at tention,

Memphis' Drastic Measures.


 Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 5.--This city has ordered its doors closed to the out side world, beginning next Monday al noon. and no person can enter unless holding a permit signed by pr. Heber Jones, president of the board of health or Secretary Marcus Hess, These per mits, 1t Is announced, will be issued only in urgent cases and when 1t Is positively known that the applicant has not been in a fever infected district. No recognition will be given health cer- tifiicates from any source.
 This drastic action was taken by the City Council tonight after receiving a numerously signed petition from repre- sentative business and professional men. The health authorities say that the city was never in a better sanitary condition. A large majority of the citi- zens. however, favor what Is known as a shotgun quarantine and in defer ,ence to their wishes a cordon of guards will be placed around the city at noon Monday. The Shreveport baseball team, which left Nashville tonight will be admitted and tomorrow's game will be played as scheduled. President Kavanaugh has been urged to send the New Orleans team to Memphis before Monday This team can then go to Little Rock for a series of games.
 Dr. Marcus Haas said tonight that citizens who are abroad from Memphis after Monday can return to Memphis only with a permit Such a permit will be forwarded in certain cases after the board of health makes full investiga- ton. Any person leaving the city is required to secure a permit to 're-enter and this permit will only be issued when 1t Is positively known that the applicant will visit no infected dis trict.

MOBILE HERALD's vIEw.
Paper Advocates Government Control of Alabama Quarantine.
 Advertiser Bureau.

AQVertlSer Bureaus
 Mobile. Aug. 5.
 The Herald in advocacy of the gov ernment taking hold of the quarantine situation so far as Alabama is con cerned, after reviewing the facilities 1t has at its command whether with yellow fever, smallpox. the plague or cholera, and referring to the feeling of relief experienced by the people here when they learned of the action of the New Orleans authorities in this particular and the further acknowledg- ment that each State and each city has its own regulations and its guards. says:
 Some of the regulations are so ridie- ulous as to make one blush for the parties perpetrating them, and the guards are in many instances ineff1- cient and unreliable. The fight Is car ried upon the plan of every fellow for himself and the devil take the hind most: The government has a thorough ly organized force of disease fighters at It's command; 1t has the means to secure the services of other men and surgeons if needed; 1t stands ready to take charge of the situation as soon as 1t is permitted to do so. It cannot do this until requested, however. for that would be a violation of the police rights of the States Why should 1t now be allowed not only to stamp out the fever In New Orleans. but also to control and operate the work of con fining 1t to New Orleans?
 The Herald yields to no one in it's allegiance to the doctrine of States rights. and 1t Is one of Alabamas rights to use this peace army for its protec- tion. The fund upon which 1t is paid belongs In part to her. She receives no charity and Is under no obligation in accepting the service
 Tt is the duty of the Governor to throw every safeguard around the State and the greatest safeguard pos sible Is to place the whole matter of quarantine as well as fighting the fe- yer in Federal hands"
