Hone to End Fsvcr.

New Orleans. La.--Aslde from the fe-
yer. the quarantine and detention re-
strictions continue to interfere with
business. AS harvest time is approach
ing on the plantations, appeals have
come from all sections of Louisiana
that the detention camps be kept open
so that plantation hands might be sent
to the country. Unless these laborers
are obtained the farmers will be un-
able to get the benefit of the crops.
and for that reason the railroads are
endeavoring to have detention camps
opened and operated by the Marine
Hospital Service.
Though hope that the fever would
be eradicated by the LIST of October
was some time ago abandoned, general
encouragement is felt that if the
threats Of the authorities have their
effect and suppression is no longer
practiced the fight will be virtually
at an end fifteen days later than the
day set.

ward curve about forty feet above the
ground. When the bicyclist rides on
the end Of the curve into space he lets
go his machine and dives into the wa
ter. This frightful plunge terrifies the
spectators, but the real danger Is that
Of being struck and killed by the bicy-
Gle, fate which befell James Fleet in
Chicago.
An acrobat named Thompson makes
still more perilous plunge with the
aid of simpler apparatus, leaping from
the top of a very long vertical ladder
into tank 40 feet In length by feet
in width. A slight error in making
the leap would bring him to the ground
instead Of the tank.
The automobile, the queen Of sport,
shares with the bicycle the glory OF
these dangerous exhibitions. One OF the
latest developments Is the monstrosity
called the autobolide, which Is making
fame and fortune for Mile. de Tiers.
Another young woman has been less
fortunate, for a terrible accident has
abruptly terminated the exhibition OF
the aptly named "whirlwind Of DEATH"
In which she appeared recently at
Paris music hall. In this act the au-
tomobile, after running down an In
clined plane and up short curve, was
projected into space In a nearly level
position, like the bicycle Of the human
arrow. But when the vehicle had
reached the highest point Of Its ira
jectory 1t was caused, by an ingenious
combination of springs and levers, to
turn a complete somersault, after
which It continued its flight to the re-
ceiving platform. forty feet distant from
the point where It had left the frst
section of the course.
The act was particularly thrilling
because the vehicle, at the moment OF
the somersault appeared to stop In It's
onward fight and consequently to be
in imminent danger Of falling to the
floor, twenty feet below. This illusion
was due to the very low position Of the
centre of gravity, which caused the
inverted body of the woman to move
backward, at that instant faster than
the centre was moving forward.
What Is the incentive which impels
these men and women to risk their
lives nightly before crowds Of specta-
tors? Is 1t ambition, vanity, love OF
applause. or simply the hope OF making
a fortune? The American looping
the loop" was conceived in an essen
TALLY practical spirit, and 'Diavolo.'
who received 5000 night; has become
a rich man. Mile, Dutrieu, the human
arrow" earns $4,000 a year, Me
phisto," received $40. Mile. de Tiers
5000 a night in Paris and larger sums
abroad. Imitators, of course, receive
less than originators. The current pay
for looping the loop is from $40 to H0
a night, which is not high especially IL
the performer owns the apparatus,
which costs at least $500. fF
It seems. therefore, that the hope OF
gain is not the only incentive. but that
the performer, like the public, Is at
tracted by the very danger Of the act
"a curious illustration Of the fascina-
ton exerted by emotions which In
themselves are disagreeable.

and encountered as he was with his
five hundred prisoners and captured
baggage, his movements were neces-
sarily slow. But pushing bravely on
ere a second evening passed, he had
placed the swollen waters Of the Ca
tawba between him and his foe. Corn
wallis hesitated as to the propriety OF
following him, and only arrived on It's
banks in time to witness the safety OF
the retreating army; but the thunder
ing waters which had barely suffered
Morgan to pass, forbade him to ven
ture. Thus his delay of a moment was
the defeat of his host.
The Americans believed that nothing
short Of a miracle had saved them,
even as the Hebrews Of old were saved
by the Red Sea, and though the Brit
ish commander was not swallowed, his
march was stayed, the pursuit bafied,
and Morgan in triumph, Joined his
commander. Thus was fought and
gained the glorious battle Of the Cow
pens, and was the second link in a
grand chain of causes which finally
drew down ruin on the royal interest
in the Carolinas.
The glory and importance of this
action resounded from one end Of the
continent to the other. The battle OF
Kings Mountain had terminated the
desponding friends Of America. This
made their hopes doubly active. The
one had been like a resurrection from
the dead Of the Southern States; the
other was like arming those dead for
conquest and victory. The American
militia had taken their first lessons In
warfare and hereafter, their audacity
and bold daring were to be their char
acteristics. CORVALLIS again COM
planned that he was surrounded by in
veterate enemies and timid friends,
and to fight and conquer Green, was
not now a matter Of choice, but one
of absolutely necessity.

BE PLAIN. BUT NOT PRoFANE.-
Plain speech has no need Of profanity
to emphasize the point 1t wishes to
impress on the hearer. Profanity de-
tracts, in fact. from the real force
of any statement. oral or written.
We have in mind a sort of counsel
going the rounds. and sometimes
hung in public places. to the effect
that the man who does the right
thing may look any d-n man In
the eye" Many persons regard such
advice thus stated as pert and COM
mendable. We cannot. Dress often
makes or mars beauty. So the ex-
preston in which a thought is cloth
ed often makes or mars the idea.
good as 1t may be in itself. Put a
man Of vulgarity In pulpit and the
place Of worship is Stunned. Put
him ev.n on the stump in a political
campaign and he fails to reach the
best class Of voters. Plain speech is
very much in demand. 1t may be
plain, and yet very neat and win
some. But profanity robs an express
sion Of the neatness and winsome-
ness that the good idea 1t embodies
deserves.
Plainness makes for strength of
speech. Profanity for its DETACHMENT.
