THE ENDLESS QUIET.

We strive for wealth, we toll for fame
We labor after sound and show;
We deem no sacrifice too great,
And stake fortune on a throw.
What splendid triumph shall be ours,
What wondrous rapturein each gain
How soon we find the grandeur nausht,
Unless within sweet peace doth reienl
How old the caution Still we fret
For sun and moon, for stars that CLEAN;
We seek the distant, .purn the near,
And barter substance for dream.
What seas we cross what hills up-climb,
O roses in the Alpiue chainl
We find too soon the prizes fade,
If in the heart no peace doth reign,
And though our years be humby spent
No star Of glory in sky,
No grandeur cleaning in our way,
But simple duty ever nigh
What love inspires US to each task,
The roses in our path to train,
How clear resouuds the joybclIs chime,
For in our heart glad peace doth reign

Water for New Orleans.

Cistern water is almost exclu-
sively used in New Orleans for
drinking purposes, and Mississip-
pi river water supplied by a very
poor system is used for all other
purposes. The cistern water is
collected from the roofs upon
which all the dust and flying filth
of the city lodges, and it is not
uncommon to find in the bottoms
of old cisterns sediment of this
bird filth, ETC., to a depth OF two
or three feet. The river water is
almost thick with yellow mud,
and the filth from the cities and
towns throughout the Mississippi
Valley. With such a water sup
ply in a low fat district where
there is no drainage, we are not
surprised at unhealthy c0ndi-
tions, and if it were not possible
for the human body to harmon
ize various conditions and be-
come inOculated with all the poi
sons it would be impossible to
live in such place.
The health of New Orleans will
never be improved until better
water supply and good drainage
is secured. -McO0mb City En-
terprise.

"Many people, he remarks,
'avoid drinking water as though
it was poison, although without
1T not one can be properly heal
thy. When taken early in the
morning it has . cleansing and
bracing effect on the entire
system, while its beneficial effects
on the liver can hardly be exag-
gerated.

fer indigestion or who awake
with feeling of oflanguor, an early
morning sensation which affiicts
people of sedentary habits,"-

The Death Of a Good CcIored Citizen.
EDITOR PROGREsS:

EDITOR PROGREss:
Some of the readers OF your
good paper will doubtless expe-
riencc surprise on seeing the obit-
uary of a negro written by q white
man, but our saying few well :
deserved words of praise in mem
ory of a good colored citizen
needs no apology.
Major Nesoitt, the subject OF
this sketch, was a well-kn0wn
colored farmer of Yalobusha
county, living about three miles
east of Enid. AS Major was for
many years a customer and val
ued friend of our firm, we have
undertaken to chronicle q few
facts of his life.
He was born August 26, 1850,
died August %, 1905; age about
90 years. He lived in Yalobusha
county most OF his life; was a
member of the African Methodist
Church, and for fourteen years q
subscriber of your valued paper.
At his death he left wife and
sixteen children, every one OF
whom he libarally remembered in
his will. For the maintenance
of the younger children he left an
undived homestead OF 240 acres
of good, well-improved land.
A we'll sr,ent life is the greatest
of all honors to him that is dead
and q valuable heritate to rels-
tive, friend and State. Majors
life was ONE of industry, honesty
and sobriety; an honor to his
race and one worthy Of close
study by every col0red man who
was fortunate enough to know
him.
If every colored man would
plan his life after Majors, and
cling as persistently as Major did
to these cardinal virtues of in
dustry, honesty and sobriety, the
trace question would doubtless
have it's nearest solution.
Majors industry is Witnessed
by the comfortable estate left to
his family; his honesty is attested
by all who had business with him.
We would have given him our
cash~dravger to keep without
counting its contents. To white
people he was polite and respect
rful. He controller his children
with firmness and kindness, and
even after his boys were grown

If you love God, you will love
you rpastor, your merchant, your
baker, your doctor and all your
nelghbors, and won't backbite
them, but will treat them kindly

had better read your Bible and go
to praying to God for more love
and grace to abide IN you. Your
hatred is not dangerous to Your
self.-McOomh City Enterprise.

Focus, Foci.

Focu--Figuratively with con.
sc0usness of the classical Latin
meaning central or gather ng
point; the point at or about which
anything is concentrated, CEN
ter Tin referring to prevalent con-
ditions of yellow fever; a point
at which case or cases of fever
have been developed, in the con-
nection now spoken of.
Foci-Plural of focus Pro-
nounced as though spelled fosi.
Since the prevalence of yellow
fever reports there has been con-
siderable discussion as to the
meaning of the word ''foci' in the
daily reports. All sorts of ex-
plantations have been expressed
which called for the fash Of the
betting roll. Instead of appeal
ing to the dictionaries, the curi-
GUS inquirers inquired of any they
met, thus spreading the discus
sion, and it has ragged for several
days past, especially where the
night hawks gather with nothing
else to do bnt to indulge in such
talk.
For the past few days the re-
ports have contained the express
sion sub -foci.
The epidemic now prevailing
in New Orleans has spread from
q common point. That point is
located near the French market
and is the original "focus" of the
disease. With the spread of the
fever new cases developed at
other points and they were sent
out as "foci," the meaning being
that every case was regarded as
q new focus. This was changed
later for the reason that either
directly or Indirectly all of the
cases were bound to be traceable
to the original point of Infection
and the reports now state as "sub-
foci, = meaning that they are all
traceable to the original focus,
though the cases are widely scat
tered.
If New Orleans be regarded as
the original. focus, should the fe-
yer develop at some point not
traceable to New Orleans, then
it would also become a focus, and
the pair of towns would probably
be termed "foci.' But so long
as the reports speaks only OF
New Orleans, the term will. be
"sub-foci.'

Talk on Steeomyia.

Baton Rouge, La August 13-
Prof. L. E. Morgan, formerly of
this city and State entomolC gist,
and now director Of the Tennes-
see Experiment Station, has writ
ten a very interesting life history
of the stegomyia fasciata. Mr..
Morgan spent a number of years
study the mosquito. and the fol-
lowing from him will prove of
interest at this time.
"Stsgomyia fasciata is possibly
the most domestic mosquito we
have. It is fond of breeding in
cisterns and transient water pools
which are frequently found in lily
drained cities and towns. The
female mosquito may live several
months, and during this time lay
several patches of eggs. She de-
posits singly upon the surface OF
the water. If the pool upon which
she lays her eggs should dry up
in a few days, the eggs would
likely hatch at the next time a
rainfall filed the pool. We have
not had any trouble in keeping
eggs vital after ten months of dry,
ing. We have also kept them in
wutsr undisturbed for great length
of time. The larvae on Matching
may mature rapidly if plenty of
food is available, but may spend
as much as . month or more in it's
larval existence if food is scarce.
The pupal duration is but a day or
two. After Matching. IN the press
ence of plenty of food in summer
time, it requires only from six to
eight days for the mosquito to
reach maturity. The adult mos
quitoes die in the late fall, the
hybernation being successfull
made in the egg condition. Good
drainage, ,oiling of transient pools,
good sanitation, and seeing that
no water remains in old cans,
buckets, postholes, and so on,
longer than day or two, will
mean the eradication of the pest.
The difficult thing in the eradica-
tjonyis that the eggs may remain
unmatched for ct least q year, and
after this, under certain condi-
tions, hatch. This makes eradis
cation much more difficult than II
eggs would hatch only within 2
few days after laying, as was for
mally supposed"
