VACANT HOMES.
Houses that Are Neither for Sale Nor
 for Rent,

"Do you know that there are several hundred houses in Philadelphia the owners of which keep them idle be- cause of the death therein of a mem- Der of the family?" said a real estate dealer.
 Tn the territory where I do much business l can show you fifty houses that have been idle from one to ten years that you cannot rent for love or money. Many of them were deserted soon after the death of member of the family and were left completely furnished, the owners even going to the expense of renting another house to live in.
 "A beautiful home belonging to an eccentric old lady whom I know was abandoned by her and her children be- cause of the husbands death five years ago. Several times have 1 endeavored to induce her to rent it, but my efforts were unavailing. The interior of the house, 1 understand, still contains the beautiful furnishings it possessed when the family moved away. In fact, you can see the lace curtains at some of the windows. They have been turned yellow by the sun.
 "Neither can you purchase the homes referred to unless poverty forces such families to dispose of them. Death alone holds the key of entrance.'- Philadelphia Telegraph.

Power fin Clothes and Title.

There is no power without clothes. It is the power that governs the hu- man race. Strip its chiefs to the skin, and no state could be governed; naked officials could exercise no authority; they would look (and bel like every body else-commonplace, inconseQuen- tial. A policeman In plain clothes Is one man, in his uniform he is ten Clothes and titles are the most potent thing, the most formidable influence in the earth. They move the human race to willing and spontaneous re- spect for the judge, the general, the admiral, the bishop, the ambassador, the frivolous earl, the idiot duke, the sultan, the king, the emperor. No great title is efficient without clothes to support 1t. In naked tribes of say ages the kings wear some kind of rag or decoration which they make sacred to themselves and allow no one else to wear. The king of the great Fan tribe wears bit of leopard skin on his shoulder-it is sacred to royalty; the rest of him is perfectly naked. With out this bit of leopard skin to awe and impress the people he would not be able to keep his Job.-"Mark Twain," in North American Review.

Blacks More ConsumptIve.

According to Dr. Thomas J. Mays, of Philadelphia, pulmonary consump- tion was comparatively unknown among the plantation slaves of the South before the war, while in the large cities of the South it was no more prevalent among them than it was among the whites. In Charles ton, s. C., the negro death rate of consumption in 1860 was the same as among the whites-viz., 1.75; in 1876, whites, 200, negroes, 6.95; in 1S90 whites, 3.55; negroes, CSC; in 1902 whites, 143; negroes, 5.74.
 Before the civil war, insanity, like consumption, was comparatively rare among the negro slaves. According to Dr. T. O. Powell, this disease increased 705 per cent among these people from 1870 to 1890 in Georgia. The same is true of North Carolina, for Dr. J. F. Miller, superintendent of the Eastern Insane Hospital of that State, declares that from 1885 to 1896 insanity in. creased 256 per cent among the col ored people in that State.
 The conclusion of Dr. Mays, which was presented to a recent medical con- gross, was that slaves as property were better cared for than free ne- groes care for themselves. As to the future, campaign of education" is suggested.

The railroads seem very willing to have the private car liLes brought under the jurisdiction of the Inter- state Commerce Comm ission. A railroad president is authority for the statement that lines are paid mileage, without discrimination. and the ques- tion of excessive charges is a matter for the shipper to settle with the car lines, so long as there is DO law to govern their rates. Car mileage pay ing has been decided to be as legal as the payment of rental for property.
