THE CHATTANOOGA QUARANTINE
CONVENTION,

A very earnest desire is felt through
out the South, particularly in those
sections, either invaded by yellow
fever, or demoralized by guarantees
to make the quarantine and Immigra,
ton Convention which meets at Chat
tanooga, November 9th and 10th, a
success. The advantages Of early &C
ton in this matter will be recognized
by all. The quarantine question
should be acted on and decided while
it is before the people, while the ex-
periences of the many unwise, con-
Trajectory and onerous quarantines of
this summer are still fresh in their
memories and when they know what
should be done. In few months,
with them ousting of the yellow few
er and the revival of business, most
of the people will have forgotten
what they have gone through, or will
be too busy to give their attention to
the subject of quarantine, A con-
vention held then will not represent
the true sentiment of the South and
will not contain its strongest men
but may be controlled by those more
interested in patronage than in efficient
quarantine work.
More over, it is especially desired
to have an expression of opinion from
the Southern people ON the question,
one about which there can be no dis
pute at as early day as possible so
that Congress will be able to take it
up at its meeting in December, thus
assuring early action on it. A bill !,
properly prepared by men Of standing
and influence in the South, supported
as it, will be by democratic leaders
like Senators Morgan and McEnery,
and in the house, by the democratic
leader, John Sharpe Williams, of
Mississippi, will almost certainly pass
Congress.
1t is therefore, to the interest of
the South that the Chattanooga con-
vention should be success, that it
should represent the people and their
wishes, and that it should consist of
men Of ability who would consider
the subject intelligently and frame
quarantine plan, constitutional and
to all, and steer clear of
and recriminations and
the discussion of legal issues which
have brought disorganization and fail
ure to SO many previous conventions
called to consider this subject.
The change recently made on the
of the Chattanooga
meeting. by which the Governors of
The several Southern States will ap-
point all the delegates should prevent
The convention from falling into the |
hands of men not thoroughly repre-
It is for the Southern peo-
)le to make sure that their best men,
best in the influence they exert and
n their knowledge Of quarantine
problems, are appointed by the seve-
al Governors. II the people help in
his task by recommending or calling
o the attention of the executive those
Who should be appointed, the rest of
he work will NOT be difficult. The

egal and common sense suggestions,
hat will receive unanimous popular
and will pass Congress with

Ancient Persian Customs.

"Tiio ni-i-Akbari; or, Annals Of
the Emperor Akbar," written in the
Persian language, contain descrip-
tions of various customs which pre-
vailed during the Mogul period.
Among these was the use of per-
fumes in religious observances, and
the emperor took personal interest
in the preparation of the ingredi-
ents. Among vegetable products
Aquilaria agallocha, aloe wood, was
then, as now, valued for the oleo-
resin agar and an oil known as chu-
wan. Sandalwood was used as a
powder, and perfumes were distilled
from the rose, orange, jasmine and
broad leaved willow, Salix caprea.
Ambergris, obtained from the sperm
whale; the moist secretion Of the
civet cat and the. opercula of certain
molluscs, known as "fingernails,"
were important animal products.

A STORY OF WEBSTER.
paniels Love For Brandy and Very
Indignant Client.


Daniels Love For Brandy and Worry
indignant ciiens.
Mr.. Webster's fondness for brandy
gave one Of his important clients a
very bad twenty-four hours. He
was called to Philadelphia to de-
fend the Goodyear rubber patents,
and the head of the firm met him
at the station. When tlES' had en-
tered the carriage he at once turned
to Mr.. Webster and referred to one
feature of the evidence to be pre-
sented in the trial the following day.
Il speak of it, Mr. Wcbster," he
said, cas- it has a peculiarly impor-
tant bearing on the case, and
thought you might not have under
stood its significance"
Mr.. Webster, who was looking
dreamily out Of the carriage win
dow, was recalled to consciousness
of his clients presence. He yawncd
and, settling back against the cush-
ions, remarked:
"l've always hoped I might some
day come to Philadelphia, because
I've been told that there is no place
in the United States where they
serve finer brandy. When I came
away from Boston I said to some of
my friends, Boys, I'm going to find
out about that Philadelphia brandy,
and if find that it really is the
best [ shall have made a useful
trip"
Several times Mr.. Goodyear tried
to draw his distinguished attorneys
attention to the particular point at
issue, but he never seemed to take
the slightest interest in it. The
brandy of Philadelphia was appar-
emily the only topic which interest
ed him, and he always recurred to it.
Mr.. Goodyear left him somewhat
brusquely at his hotel. When he re-
turned to his Office his story was
anything but inspiriting. "We'vc
got man who is supposed to be
the greatest lawyer in the United
States, and the only subject in which
he takes any interest is Philadelphia
brandy!'
That night, though, Mr.. Webster
worked in his room until 2 o'clock,
occasionally walking the floor and
marshaling his case into battle ar
ray. His plea the next day was one
of his most impressive utterances in
its power and logic, and the case,
involving hundreds of thousands of
dollars, was given to the Goodyears.

Why one is Sleepy.

Scientists disagree as to the cause
Of drowsiuess. Some curious and re.
markable reasons are assigned for the
desire everybody has for sleeping. 1t
is attributed by some people to an ac-
cumulation in the system Of the poi
sonous products of the wear and tear
of the body during the day. There
seem to be some measure of truth in
this, for in many diseases the patients
are often sleepless. Another hypo-
thesis IS that the nerve cells Of the
t.ain dwell apart from each other, as
it were, during sleep. The brain is
composed Of millions Of tiny bodies
called cells, each having several deli
cate prolongations, or branches, for
the purpose Of communicating with
other cells. When the brain is fully
active all these cells are in contact,
or ready to be in contact, with one
another, but the time occasionally
comes, it is thought, when the
branches Of all the cells curl up and
their isolation means that complete
communication between the cells
ceases. The state Of body and mind
that follows is what we call sleep.
The most probable explanation of
sleep, hswever, is that, in some way
or other, the internal condition Of the
cells is changed, partly from exhaus-
tion and partly because Of diminished
stimulation from other parts of the
body.

Sihsie biessedness.

At best it is only in the exercise
Of great unselfishness that the eld-
erly spinster can continue to enjoy
the sunshine of happiness. So long
as people are young there need not
be much loneliness in the single
state Of either man or a woman.
The sweets of liberty and the uncon-
scious hope of happiness to come
make up for much that is lost in the
present. It is when life begins to
grow gray, when old friends, through
death, through marriage or through
exigencies Of time and place have
fallen away and new friends are
more difficult to make it is then
that both the spfnster and the bach
elor will feel the inexorable ache of
loneliness. And the outlook then is
worse for the spinste. than for the
bachelor because it is more inexora-
bic. A man, if he has the means
to support wife and often if he has
not, can always turn to matrimony
as a possible consolation when he
chooses, and he knows that.-Wom-
ans Life.

England Initiating tho Lobster.

Great Britain follows the proce-
dure of the lobster. At intervals
the lobster casts his shell, and until
new one grows he is absolutely
helpless and has to conceal himself
in hole. This is our case, only we
have no sheltering hole. We get an
equipment, usually in a hurry and at
abnormal cost. We take no note of
what science is doing until some fine
day we discover that our equipment
is as worthless for defense as Mel
sons wooden hulls would be against
modern ironclad. Then we ap-
point a committee, which discovers
q number of things previously
known to all other nations. We
provide ourselves with new shell,
lucky if nobody attacks us in the
meantime, and then we 60 to sleep

a Japanese Bonmot,

AN amusing story is going the rounds
OF diplomatic society in Berlin con-
cerning Count Iuouye the polished
and able Japanese minister in that
capital, an1 Count Won Buelow, the
German chancellor, says London NJ.
A. ?. It arises out Of q conversation
which took place at recent dinner
party. Count von Buelow, who oc-
caeionally INDUCES in light banter,
addressed the japanese diplomat as
follows:
You must know, Count Inouye,"
he said, "that we Germans are begin.
ing to be quite inordinately proud of
the Japanese. You are the most apt
pupils we have ever had. You have
gathered from US your tactics. Your
strategy is also German, and SO is
your artillery. Nearly all your doe
tors have etudied in Germany. You
have even initiated us by inagu-
rating social democratic movement
in Japan
"Most true, Count Won Buelow.' -
replied the Japanese minister, "but
there is one thing we do not share
with you."
,"What is that?" the German chan
cellor was rash enough to inquire.
"Why, the fear of Russia" dexter
ously rejoined the diplomat.

AIR PRESSURE.
How Feathers Are Blown OF chiekenp
During q Tornado.

During q Tornado.
The officials of the United States
weather bureau have Photographic
proof of the accuracy of statements
that it is possible for straws and
feathers to be driven deep into board
fences, trees and other tough mate
rials.
If the camera is to be relied on
there appears to be warrant for the
story that is, frequently told us
Joke that in some sections of our
country the winds are SO fierce that
they blow the feathers off chickens
and other luckless birds.
A scientist in explaining the laws
OF air pressure, which account for
many of the freaks of cyclones,
says:
1.-The air pressure at sea level is
about fifteen pounds to each square
inch. The pressure on the inside of
objects, even the human BODY, is
equal to that on the outside, thus
preserving 2 proper equilibrium.
Disaster Immediately follows the re-
moval of the pressure.
Contrary to the popular belief,
the danger attending tornadoes is
created from within and not from
the outside. During tornado the
wind rushes along at terrific speed,
SO that the vacuum is created in the
center Of the storm. The sudden
exhaustion of the air in this fashion
relieves the outside pressure from
all objects in the path of the dis
turbance.
'In the case of building the re-
suit is shown in the bursting out of
the walls by the force of the unre-
sisted inside pressure. This is the
explanation for the presence of SO
many buildings without walls that
are found in the path of every tor
nado.
cit is the same way with chick
ems. The air is exhausted so quick
ly from the outside that the inner
pressure blows off the feathers. In
the same way straws, feathers end
other frail substances are made to
penetrate much harder materials.
