and naples In proper condition they would shade the sidewalk and roadway and add greatly to the health, comfort and beauty of the street. As it is, they are a nuisance, and householders are wishing they could be removed. For weeks past their leaves have been ground, keeping the sidewalk strewn with them as in autumn. Now the branches are nearly bare, the trees give scarcely any shade and are no orna- ment whatever to the street. In a few years they will probably alltbe dead, If their end is not anticipated by some one who shall put them out of their misery
 There is no occasion for people to gaze at them in surprise, as some un, thinking folk do now and then, ,aS ana them. The trouble Is obvious enough. The. street is asphalted, and the side walk Is laid from curb to house with artificial stone or stone slabs joined with cement, making the whole eX- panse watertight. Some of the tree trunks have actually been chopped slabs can fit snugly to them. Around others the artificial stone has been closely laid. Where there has been a and stone 1t Is covered with well pud- died clay, now transformed into sun dried brick. It is practically tmpossi- roots of the trees The soil down there, save for possible leakage from water pipes and sewers, Is as arid as the Sahara. In addition, 1t Is probably permeated and poisoned with leaking gas. The only wonder is that the trees have lived so long In such conditions.
 That street is by no means singular. The description we have given of It will apply as well to any of scores. All over the city trees are suffering mar tyrdom in precisely that way In many cases the evil work is complete and streets that were once arboreal arcades are now shadeless and ,blistering ra- vines of rock and asphalt

UNNECEssARY PANIcs.

l Imasination is a potent factor in hu- man affairs, and in nothing is 1t more so than when allied with fear. And In no affair of life do these two play a more prominent part than in connection with contagious or infectious diseases. Right here in Montgomery we have seen people cross over and walk on the | other side of the street because there was a case of scarlet fever in one house They seemed to think that all the at- mosphere was loaded with the disease and that they would surely get it if they passed on the side of the street where one solitary case was interned. No disease that ever reaches this latitude causes as much perturbation | and unreasoning panic as docs yellow fever. The announcement that 1t has obtained a foothold in one of our cities is sufficient to cause a panic. as unreas- enable as 1t is unnecessary. When a fire breaks out in a crowded building men, womens and children lose all con- trol of themselves. Men who are fear less or danger under ordinary circum-
 
 alized as to practically lose their senses for the time and will crowd and tram pie helpless women and children in a frantic effort to save themselves.
 So it is with dangerous diseases. Many people seem to lose not only their courage but their reasoning powers in the presence of a disease that may be conveyed from one to another. We know that yellow fever is considered dangerous disease, but that is no ex- cuse for grown men to lose all their nerve and literally take to the woods when a case of 1t develops in any DOT tion of a city. We might have a real epidemic of typhoid in this city and lit- tie attention would be paid to it, but depopulating a city as anything we can imagine.
 Modern medical science and investi- gation has done so much to minimize the danger from this disease that there is little excuse now for ponies on &C., count of 1t. It has lost much of its fatality, the doctors have learned bet ter now 70 treat lt ana science mas pointed the way to prevention or con- trol One case of it. as has already been proven in this city, does not mean devastating epidemic. The people who become crazed over It's advent often do themselves more harm than they would by retaining control of their faculties and keeping quiet. using the safeguards and precautions known to the medical profession. We are strong in the belief that 1t will not reach Montgomery this season. but if 1t does 1t will not be allowed to do much damage. If 1t reaches this city there will be no occasion for a stam- pede, at all events. Calmness and courage can get the better of it, if 1t does come. .-=-~

A Talking BIue Jay.

Henry Englehardt, the well known and popular Montgomerian, lays claim to being the owner of the only talk ing blue jay in this countryl
 Mr Englehardt is bird fancier. At his home he has more than 100 doves, number of cat birds, red birds and others of the feathers. But it is the blue jay that is the pride of Henry Englehardt's heart. He has succeeded in teaching this ordinary jay to speak and he believes it is an accomplish ment possessed by DO other bird of like species.
 Being a modest man, he has taught the bird only few simple, piOus sen timents. The sensibilities of the most prudish person will not be shocked by the blue jay. Come here bird,' he call to MT. Englehardt and then Hello
 "T6is blue jay" says MT Engle- hardt, 'is an ordinary bird captured in the Southern part of Montgomery County. The bird talks like a parrot and sings like a mocking bird It is young yet and I believe it may be taught to speak more fluently than any parrot"

We are not inclined to accept as gos- pei truth the statement that an Indiana man and his wife are trying to obtain a divorce from each other. and that the principal or only ground of complaint on the part of either is that both want to sit in the same chair. Taking 1t for granted that both want to occupy the chair at the same time. we are led to the reflection that before the minister spoke the words that bound them to- gether one strong chair would have hsld both of them very comfortably. but it must be admitted that the mar riage ceremony sometimes works won derful changes It may be that in this case there is but one comfortable chair in the house and both want it at once If that is the case they could buy an- other cheaper than they can be di- Vorced

LoNG-LIFE SPECIALISTS.

Of late we are learning from quite number of specialists who propose to prove to us that man-including wo- man-should live at least century. One of the latest is a Londoner. who lays down certain rules which may be Hhus condensed: Re moderate, do not worry, take plenty of sleep and exsr- else, eat sparingly of fish and meat. but eat plentifully of sugar. bread. fruits, vegetables and milk. These are the main points laid down by him. and in his opinion almost any person pos sessing a healthy constitution can live to the age of 100.
 All this is interesting, but at last it is mere speculation. So far as we are informed none of these specialists has yet lived a century, and until one of them does reach that period he can't tell that following his rules will make centenarians of any of us. Yet it Is not to be denied that temperance. modera- tion and a careful observance of the ordinary rules of conduct may prolong human life. Accidents and some forms of disease may carry off the temperate and incorporate, but aside from these much depends on individual conduct and habits whether we may or may not live to a good cid age.
 The London specialist says that among the negro races centenarians are extremely numerous" but we think he will find 1t very difficult to prove that proposition. Among the savage negro races it is found almost impos- sible to arrive at the exact age of an individual, because they havo no record of births which can be relied on, and 1t is practically the same in the United States. Few negroes who were born slaves can prove their ages. We know thero are many old negroes to be found, and we also know the almost universal tendency on the part of these old peo- pie to magnify their age. It is a sort Of pride among them to make 1t appear that they are much older than they really are. Doubtless there are centen- arIans to be found among them, but we are persuaded that the number would be small if the exact birthday could be found. If these specialists, by holding out the temptation of great age can promote temperance and mod sTation ,n ali things they will benefit mankind. even if thsy fail to largely extend the duration of human life.

the women who are, he will be told. much better qualified for rule than he is. and will be shown that he can find plenty to do without running round to political meetings, making speeches and holding elections. The home is the proper place for man." will be the re- versed axiom for the future.
 Really it seems to us that mans fu- ture prospects are decidedly gloomy. The only consolation some of us have is in the knowledge that we will not be here to witness the latest fall of man.
