ANOTHER CRANK.

That Professor Osier, who virtually advises putting all men out of the way by some easy process when they begin to grow old is too fresh. His theory Is that men are of little use after 40 and of no use after they are 60 years old. He also has kind of alternative prop osition which he thus states:
 My second fixed idea Is the yseless-- ness of men above 60 years of age and the incalcu1able heneflt 1t would be in commercial political and professional life, if, as matter of course, men stop ped work at this age.
 Now, of course it would be a waste of time to cite pr. osler to the many names of men past sixty who have been famous in science and are, in business and statesmanship. in all the walks of war and peace for that matter. He IS as familiar with such instances, we have no doubt, as any one else Is, and does not need to be told that some of the greatest triumphs of human skill and knowledge have been accomplished by men past threescore, but he would probably brush them aside as excep- tional instances, and persist in saying that men should be put out of the way at SO, and that the 4O-year limit would be better.
 There is one point in the extract quoted on which we can practically agree with him. and that is when he says it would be better If men stopped ufvfx tk so that all men when they reach that age were so situated that they could cease from their labors. and were will ing to do so. it would be we'll, no doubt, but neither contingency can be relied on. Many a man would gladly, quit his hard work. mental and physical. when he reaches threescore, but circum- stances forbid and he may be forced to stick to his task while life lasts, even if he should live to be a century old. There are mahy others who become so accustomed to the work which they have always followed that if forced to abandon 1t. life would be a burden to them. Is Dr. osler in favor of putting all theso out of the way by poison or otherwise?
 The one amusing feature of Dr. os- ler's position is that he Is himself a living refutation of 1t He is now fifty six years old. and though past the age when. according to his own dictum, a man can be of much use, has just ac- cepted the position of Dean of the Med- ical Department of Oxford University. It Is a position of much importance and we have no idea that he will resign 1t, even at sixty. We repeat, that if this crank will go through both ancient and modern histories he will find so many great names of men in all professions who did some of their best work after fourscore that he will feel ashamed of his theory.

Philadelphia Record.
 Governor Vardaman has some good points and one of these Is his insist ence that the negro for whom he offer ed a reward should be brought to him alive, and having got him in that con- dition he had him taken to a place of safety. This is the second case in which the Governor has manifested the utmost energy in preventing a lynching, and besides these individual cases the breaking up of whitecapping in Lincoln County was due to a special appropriation he got from the Legisla- ture for this purpose. Several promi- nent white farmers and county offi- cials were sentenced to prison for life or for terms practically equivalent, and the judge warned the population that the State of Mississippi would assert it's majesty and suppress disorder and assaults even if it should become necessary to jail the entire population of the district. Vardaman won't have any negro in politics. but he Is deter mined that black skins shall remain whole

E. H. Jones, Pastor M. E. Church. Grove, Md, writes: About seven or eight years ago had a very severe cold which physicians said was very near pneumonia, and which they afterwards pronounced consumption. Through a friend was induced to try sample of Foley's Honey and Tar, which gave me SO much relief that I bought some of the regular size. Two or three bottles cured me of what the physicians called consumption, and have never had any trouble with my throat or lungs since that time"

 But most alarming of all. should it prove true, Is the reported spread among the peasants of the notion that on the 4th of March there will be is- sued by the Little Father a decree authorizing a general distribution of all lands now in the possession of pri- vate owners. This is a notion particu- larly easy for the Russian peasants to accept, because they have a traditional connection with the land, and by the principle of the Mir. or Commune, have some vague way really their own Should they seriously try in large dis tricts to carry out the scheme they are being led to believe is that of the Czar 1t would tax, and probably oyertax, the military power to bring them within control. and Russia might witness on "a large scale the devastation of rural property that was 90 terrible In the early stages of the French revolution.

 There Is no record of such a scheme under that name, that know of. MT. Lincoln saw that the Confectionery had not seized the several million bales of cotton, constantly leaving our ports after the secession of the cotton states and that the Confederate government was not receiving arms and machinery for arsenals from Europe. Some South ern men told him the Confederacy was about to dissolve. Therefore he "went slow" He thought the thing was pre- Iaring to die natural death. and let it alone.
 Under these circumstances, MT. Lin. coln called ir A. V. Fox. a mariner. who had years before resigned from the navy. So about the time MT. Davis started Captain Caleb Huse of Massachusetts to Europe to buy soma arms, 12,O00 rifles and a battery of field artillery, MT. Lincoln started Fox of Massachusetts to see Major Ander- son. in Sumter. find out what he want ed to hold the fort, and promise to

 The Follansbee lot on the river bluff. just to the right of the subway, Is within the fire limits. and yet they pro- pose to contract these limits, so as to place there a sash and blind factory. The shavings furnish fuel for the en- zine. Just across the railroads, nay and other produce are stored by Hobbie & Teague, while within half block Is the cotton warehouse of Sellers & Drum. For years the policy has been to drive lumber yards and blaming mills beyond the fire limits. Then why now withdraw those limits, and threaten ing a most combustible plant almost side by side with cotton, near the heart of the city? The resolution awaits only the approval of the acting Mayor. Do property owners and insurance men want such companionship of fire and cotton?

Its traffic will be much greater in the future than in the past and 1t would be used more for pleasure, if surround ings were better The new Exchange will try to hold travellers and they need some attractive place beyond the hotel.

 vermifuge having Jerusalem Oak as its base and being simple, harmless and eficient remedy for worms, the writer was induced to experiment with horses and hogs. I had large sacks filled with the dry leaves and seed. After rubbing the leaves and seed to a dust, I measured full bait of corn meal for every animal to be fed. To this added an equal quantity of the powdered weed. This mixture was then boiled down to a mush.. The horses were given regular bait of this mush, and the hogs received all they would eat. After sleeping some hours, the hogs began to saunter and discharge dead worms. continued to feed horses and hogs with this mixture four times a year, and never after other disease. Instinct teaches horses and hogs to relish and greedily eat this mixture. Senex Agricola.

SURGEONS HAZARDOUS TRIP.
Climbed Down Into Air Shaft After In
jured Man.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Locating his pa
tient by sounds of groans, an ambulance
surgeon today climbed down a rope five
ste ries into a pitch dark air-shaft after an
injured man. His hazardous trip was made
in vain, as the patient, John Thompson,
lived only short time after he was re-
moved from his prison and token to the
hospital.
Thompson was sleeping on the roof, as
had been his custom during the recent ex-
tIemely hot weather, when he rolled into
the air-shaft and plunged five stories to
the stone-paved bottom. When the ambu-
lance surgeon found Thompson he decided
that the only chance for the mans life
lay in getting him quickly to the hospital.
Fixing the rope securely around the vic
TINS body, the surgeon gave the word to
the men above and Thompson was Slowly
and carefully raised to the roof.
The surgeon followed in the same way
and Thompson whrled away to the
hospital. His INJURIES were too severe to re-
spend TO treatment, however, and he died
soon afterward.
