DEALING WITH MAsHEas.

Specimens of the genus "masher" are always in evidence, especially in the large cities North of us. They are of breed who have nothing to do. or are too lazy to do 1t, and who think that a girl. especially if she is a working girl. will welcome attentions from their kind. It is pleasant to know that occasionally one of them 's treated to a genuine surprise. as well as a much needed lesson. One even ing last week one of them in Chicago accosted 6 young girl who was on her way home from her work alone. The only weapon she had was Q heavy handbag and this she brought dow,i on his head with force that put him to flight. though she gave him two or three cracks before he escaped. Pity she hadn't . hammer.
 In New York recently another of them went into a tailoring establish ment and attempted to kiss young girl who was seated at work. What he wanted was a kiss but what he got was a stab from the girls scissors which sent him hunting doctor. The girl was brought before a court but the judge discharged her with the re- mark that she did right. and just what any girl or woman ought to do when accosted by a masher. These are but two instances. and the two girls are to be applauded, and their example should be followed when occasion de- mands.

pa44a,a r,rnxxn nf Gold.

Feted as she has been in every capl- tai of Europe. surely no reception or bygone days has ever proved so grat- flying to Mime Patti as that which was accorded to her at St. Petersburg when she sang in aid of the Grand Ducness Vladimir's hospital train.
 After her third song-ArditPs I'll Bacio"-Patti was called into the sa- loon at the back of the imperial box, where she was received by the dowager Empress Marie. They had not met since 1868, and. casting aside all etl. quette, the empress and the queen or song fell into each others arms and wept, overcome with natural emotion.
 Then Count Grabbe, aide -de-camp to the Grand Duke Vlaoimir, presented the diva with a crown of gold on a blue velvet cushion. the gift of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Vladi- mir.

RICE AND WHEAT.

The announcement that certain portion of rice four mixed with wheat flour makes a winter product than can be made from wheat alone has caused a considerable demand for the mixture, we are told. This illustrates the illog- ical but almost universal preference for very white flour. As a general proposition 1t may be said that the finer and winter the flour the less nu- triment it contains, but that truth Is ignored because most people want the whitest bread they can get, and they will have 1t. even if they get an article with less nutrition in 1t.
 Two good results may follow the general adoption of this mixture. It will increase the demand for rice, and will tend to decrease the price of flour, and as 1t. is thoroughly wholesome and about as nutritious as the best flour we get in the market there can be no valid objection to 1t. One cornplica- ton may result. however. As the ad- mixture of rice with wheat will come under the head of food adulteration 1t may be that 1t will or can be barred under the pure food laws, although 1t Is absolutely harmless. This can be avoided by the manufacturers if they are disposed to be honest with the peo- pie and will put it up and sell it as mixed -four. If they do this there can be no objection to 1t and many would buy 1t in preference to pure wheat flour.

ANOTHER PERIL.

London Lancet, a medical publica- tion of high reputa, has practically de- clared war on door-knobs, and wants them banished from the face of the earth. Now a door-knob. while att tached to the door. Is about as harm less an object as we know of. We have heard of their use. slung-shot style, with somewhat surprising effect. but when one keeps its proper place on the door we should not have suspected M of harboring designs on humanity.
 But The Lancet looks at 1t different ay. It regards the knob as one of the latest. most deadly and devilish of all the many menaces to human life. and it is all on account of the germs. A door-knob is liable to be grasped by hands of all ages, races, sexes and na- tionalities. and by hands of all degrees of cleanliness and the reverse. Each hand, it Is to be inferred, carries its own brand of microbes. and as many hands may fondle the door-knob du- ring the day 1t is plain that there is constant interchange and exchange of disease germs, and no man or woman may know what brand he or she is ac- cumulating every time a knob Is touched. Even the thorough polishing of the knot will not entirely remove the peril. Even though the house. maid. like the character in the play, "Polished up tho handle so carefullee That now ho is 6 captain In the Queens
 ndvee,
 the thing isn't safo, for the first person who touches 1t after 1t has been cleaned will plant q crop of germs and the next will gather some of them and leave others. So the only thing to do is to declare war. pitiless and uncom- promising war. and keep 1t up till the last door knob. from the earthen ham de of the hut's rough door to the gild- ed creation of the palace is consigned to the junk heap. In short, we must have knobless- door world or we must henceforth walk with or in the con- stant shadow Of death.
 gnt. 1t may be asked. if we do not have knobs or some substitute for them. how are we to open and close doors? And If we have a substitute will 1t not be as full of danger as the
 
 knob itself? We'll. the best The Lan- cet can suggest is that all doors be equipped with a spring and foot lever so that a person can open the door by the mere pressure of the foot. It is to be presumed that the lieliest germ of them all will not be able to reach the person through a shoe-sole. and thus will science score another point against the manifold dangers always lying in wait for humanity. It may seem a little odd at first to see a del- icate woman march up the front steps and kick the door. or set her foot on the trigger which springs the shutter, but we can get used to anything in time, and if our lives depend on kick ing we say. kick.

quarters of e pound each. places an altogether different phase on the sub ject. The peaches also measured elev- en inches in circumference.

 We think all will agree with us that these were some peaches, and the grower who can show a better resui, will have something to boast of. By the way. wonder if this man is . mem- her of the famous Mcintosh family once SO prominent in Alabama?

Changing the Calendar.
Chicago Journal.

NnlCdBO SOuA
 Camille Flammarion, French as- tromoner of distinction. has submit ted a plan for the reformation Of the calendar, which has all sorts or merit and would be a general benefaction II 1t could be adopted.
 Briefly considered. he would begin the year with the spring. at the close of March. instead of in the middle or winter, as at present
 In this he would simply return 10 the ancient custom, used by mankln from the beginning of history untll within a few centuries, Just why the change was ever made Is not certain, and it was certainly for the worse.
 There will be four seasons, accord ing to M Flammarion. each or three months. Two of the three will have thirty days, the other thirty-one. This will account for three hundred and sixty-four days in every year; the odd day--or two odd days in leap year will be a holiday and will not be a day of the week in the usual sense at all-that Is, it will not be Sunday, Mon day, Tuesday, Wednesday, Ihursday' Friday. or Saturday. but simply itself.
 In consequence the days of the week will be the same for every day In the year with never change as the centuries go by. It would be wei come innovation-and one of the most revolutionary things ever known in history.
 For the day of the week is probably unions, fits origin lost in the dimmest of antiquity. When men first emerged from the darkness necessitated by lack of written records, he already had the seven days of the week substan- tially as he has them now-in all prob ability had had them for myriads of years before.
 To have a day on earth which is not a day of the week Is somethin g absolutely without parallel, so far as the knowledge of man extends.
 That Nj Flammarion's suggestions, wise as they are, should be adopted, ds probably beyond his own expecta- tion.
 We are too firmly grounded in doing things as our fathers did them to wish a change.
 We know that a duodecimal system is much better suited to the needs of everybody from tradesman to astrono- mer than our present decimal system but no one alive today is actively en- gagged in changing from decimals to duodecimals or persuading his fellows so to do.
 NJ Flammarion is right-and- we are entirely content to stay wrong.

CHIEF JUSTICE MCCLELLAN.
Has Not Gained Much by His Long Let.
 ter.

Selma Times.
 The Montgomery Advertiser gave Chief Mcclellan a dressing down in connection with the Capitol extension, that the distinguished Jurist will not forget in a long. long tune. It would have been far better for Judge McClel- lan's dignity and reputation if he had never written his defense of the Capi- tol Commission.
 In the first place, he showed his spleen against The Advertiser, which has waged vigorous but dignified op- position to the Lockwood plans. by giv- ing his article to only one paper for publication. The people have been led to look up to their Supreme Court as being above personal prejudice and pique. but 1t looks to us, from this distance, that our great and dlgnifed and handsome Chief Justice is no more even balanced, personally. than most of us, when the darts of personal, but just criticism, commence to get In their work on him.
 The rest of the members of the Court did well in not attaching their names to Judge McClellan's petulent, illus trated defense.
 The Advertiser rose above the per sonal slight of not having the docu- ment given to 1t on Sunday. when 1t was handed to The Birmingham Age Herald. and published 1t with due credit and explanation, and what 1t did to the honorable head of our Supreme Court was a plenty.

Monument to a Hero.


 The people of Senatobia, Miss. are to raise a monument to the memory of John NJ. Poag. Sheriff who. knowingly, laid down his life in defense of the law At o'clock at night on the 12th of April 1905, a mob of thirteen masked men made an attack on the county jail at Senatobia, Miss, for the purpose of taking out of the jail one James Whit, charged with murder. and hanging him, John M. Poag. the Sheriff, who resided in the jail with his family. refused to surrender Whit to the mob, and fight with pistols and guns ensued. and Poag was shot to death. Whit was saved Poag knew resistance meant death to him, but he kept the pledge, often made, that no mob should ever take a pris- oner from his keeping except over his dead body. Other sheriffs have lost their lives in the discharge of their dus ties but this Is the only instance where Sheriff voluntarily fought mob to his death In the protection of a pris- oner, where to do SO meant his certain death. Tn fact. sheriffs have often giv- en up their prisoners rather than jeop- ardize their own dives. and (which is worse) there is a growing sentiment which seeks to justify them in doing so. This mans name will live without a monument to commemorate 1t, but the monument itself will be a constant mo- tice to the world that Senatobia and Mississippi honor the brave defenders of the law. There should be quick CO., operation in the building of this trib- ute to official integrity.

Don't Indor.e the Chief Justices Plan

ftayneVllle ENaEnlneT,
 Justice Mcclellan of the Supreme Court of Alabama. has written an ex- planation of the position of the Su- plans which they did for the improve ment of the Capitol building of the State of Alabama, which was published gust Sth. We are, however. not yet convinced that the acceptance of other plans which were submitted, which dld not destroy the symmetry of our grand been preferable We believe that the Supreme Court of Alabama is composed of some of the ablest and most learned willing to accord to them any superior knowledge of architecture, and are stlIl of the opinion that another plan more artistic could have been selected, we would rather that the plans for the im- provement of the Capitol be modineo.

Autauga County Growing.

PrattViIIe FPrOKreSS. -
 The tax values for 1905 were $3,257,- TOO, and for 1905 $3,s39,470. thus giv- ing an increase of $s4,770 for the last year. The fact must be remembered. too. that there was no boom in prop erty in the county, nor has there been any unusual influx of property or money from out side of thex county. If the present rate of increase Is continued for two years more, the values will reach the four million mark. It is practically certain that the time Is not far distant, without some misfortune, when Autauga County will be able to pay its school teachers for nine months in a year and thus secure the best teachers, as 1t should. -,

The New York Times relates a re. cent Incident in that city to show how even automobilists may be unjustly &C., cused. A little boy thought 1t would be fine sport to put stick between the spokes of the auto and see what would happen when 1t started. The driver, not knowing what the boy had done, started the machine, the boy still holding to the end of the stick and the next thing he knew he was spread out badly bruised and stunned. on the pavement. Then the populace wanted to wreak vengeance on the, autoists and the police had to be called in. when in fact no one was to blame except the boy. It was a plain case of misdireet- ed sympathy.

We doubt if Secretary Shaw is yet aware of the way he put his foot In his mouth in his recent Virginia speech One remark he made was this: The Republicans represent the interests Of the producers and the Democrats the interests of the consumers" No doubt his Republican followers consider that an unanswerable dellverance for their party. but, as The Philadelphia Record says. his producers are not the masses of workingmen in the mills and mines. who must strike. and strike hard. for every advance of wages to compensate themselves for the riff-enhanced rise
 in the cost of living. Nor are they the farmers. the price of whose staples is determined by the conditions of for
 eign markets. His producers are the
 great industrial trusts, drawing manu-
 featuring operations into tho hands of
 comparative few, that never could have existed in this land, much less
 have attained their colossal prop1r-
 tions. but for the iniouitous favoritism
 of the Republican party"
 And that paper thus refers to Shaw's boastful utterance: A greater tribute than this has not been paid for a long while to the Dem
 ocratic party, whatever were the men tai reservations of its author. From the days of Jefferson the aim of the Democracy has been to defend the rights and interests of the many against Legislation to favor the few:
 for who in this vast country are not consumers? The toilers in the work
 shops and mills and in the fields must
 all pay out of their earnings for the products they consume; and the Dem ocratic party has infiexib1y resisted
 the partial and unjust legislation that grievously enhances the cost of these products. But the Democrats have never been so naive or inconsiderate as to seek to excite a conflict ot in- terests in the masses of producers and consumers by setting up an artificial
 distinction between them, as Secretary Shaw has done.

Small Farms the Best.

A Righteous Protest.
Greensboro Beacon.

Greensboro Beacon. -
 Judge Thomas G. Jones. wakes an echo in every human soul by his in dignant protest against treating pas and denying them food and air, when the train stops along the road. Peo- pie who so brutally mistreat innocent travellers are either crazy with foolish fear or without instincts of common humanity and good riddance.
