Brain Has peterlorated.

It is a well known biologic fact that newly developed structures undergo un- der strain most rapid deterioration;
 therefore we need not be surprised to find upon investigation that the negros brain, which had. prior to emancipation. undergone such rapid development, since then has undergone rapid deterioration. The superstructure of civilization which his brain had acquired was shaky and built on the foundation of a savage, so that with emancipation the restraining, guiding and protecting hand of the mas ter was removed and the untried and un- steady son of Africa fell naturally into the paths of unchecked superstition, un- bridled appetites and passions, dissipa- lions. excesses and vices. These. with poverty privation and the worries and anxieties fin his struggle for living caused him to soon begin to lose vitality and take on a weaker constitution, so that he has become ready prey to phvsical and mental diseases. So with the younger generation of negroes today. especially in our cities, we find crime and Insanity increasing. consumption and other constitutional diseases broadcast and an environment and heredity posi- lively had.

 Why this difference and what effect should it have on our treatment of them? First, let me present few figures con corning the negroes in Alabama and sta tstics from other southern states which show conditions similar to those in Ala bama
 In 1870 there were 3S insane negroes h. our state hospital; in 1880 there were T, in 1890 there were 2ai, and in 1900 there were 45l, giving increase the three decades from 1870 to 1900 of 1266 per cent.
 Among the white insane there was an increase during those years of 50 per cent The negro insane, as you see, have increased over twice as rapidly as the white since 1Si0
 The last census report gives an in crease in the population of our state for the thirty years from 1870 to 19J0 of about % per cent for the whites and n per cent for the colored. So, you Will observe, insanity has increased much more raipdly among the negroes than the whites and their population has in- creased less rapidly than the whites
 Again. the percentage of negroes in cur southern penitentiarles is from so to S5 per cent (Page), while they only form from 10 to 50 per cent of the popu lation.
 Alabama has about 45 per cent of ne- groes In her population, yet they form about S5 per cent of her convicts. Crime, generally, and insanity being evidences of a defective brain, the reports from our insane hospital, penitentiary, etc, show an alarming increase in mental defective ness among the negroes.
 Again. as shown by the prevalence of consumption and other constitutional diseases among them, there must also be

As l asked above, why this difference2 The negro slave as he was brought to this country was generally a selected speci- men of his race, strong, healthy and almost perfect physically, he was placed in environments which tended to keep up this high standard of physical devel" opment and at tho same time improve him mentally. He was usually under strict but kind discipline and moral and regular habits were enforced. He lived in hygenic surroundings, was well nour- ished had no worries and anXieties and no responsibilities to speak of, so that his habits and surroundings were all con ducive to physical health.
 However, 1t was the mental side of the negro that underwent the greatest de- velopment Brought to this country a savage and, fortunately for him, being naturally submissive, he soon began to adapt himself to his new surroundings; he and his descendants were taught new modes of living. new trades, etc., and their minds directed along elevating lines. so that their brains could not help but develop with no worries and cares to in- jure their progress they lived life of continual improvement.

KANSAS CITY MARKETS
4 Review of Prices and Conditions or
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 29.-A much larger proportion of the receipts of cattle last week were beef steers than usual. as the s. & $. Packing company doubled their killing here last week, on account of the fire in their house in Chicago early in the week. The good supply of beef steers attracted a good many orders from eastern slaughter CTS, so that the good beef steers closed the week with a gain of 10 to 20 cents. in spite of the heavy run. Medium to common grades were neglected, how ever, and lost 3 to 15 cents Quite a number of fed western steers sold from S4.75 to $5.25, and the fair to good ones sold at $425 to $475. Cows and heif- CTS sold strong and higher each day till Thursday, when there was a slump in COW prices, and all the gain of the week was lost except for the best heifers, which closed 10 to 20 cents higher.

It was the opinion of statesmen that buy CTS were counting on a heavy run to- morrow, and only filled urgent orders. Should the run be moderate tomorrow, strong prices will rule the balance of the week. Stock cattle are 20 to 35 cents lower than two weeks ago; feed CTS about steady.
 It is hard to find a dissatisfied sheep shipper nowadays. Markets are strong and active every day, and although the supply last week was 30.0OO head and the run yesterday 10000, the market is steady and active. Lightweight Monte Vista lambs, 66 to 71 pounds, sold at $715 to $7.40. Other sales of western lambs, 75 pounds and under. were made at $7.25 to $7.4O. Light Mexican yearlings sold at $65O and $6.60. and heavy yearlings at $6.25. Some choice western ewes, 1O4 pounds. sold at S5.15, the same figure as a large string of heavier ewes sold at Friday. Some fair wethers brought $5.5O, good ones at $5.I5. All around, the sheep market is in excellent condition.

THE GREEK CHURCH.
An Appeal to the Orthodox to Be
 Faithful to the Autocracy.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 29.-Thc Holy Synod has addressed the following cir cular to the orthodox with reference to recent events: At the moment when all should have stood united for the protection of the fatherland, strikes broke out in the capital and other towns, melted by enemies at home and abroad. Tens of thousands of the or thodox gave up work. determined for cibly to obtain rights which they have alleged had been trampled under foot. Many peaceful citizens were deprived Of bread, and many of their friends useIassly forfeited their lives.
 Those who led them astray had in their midst criminal priest, who i'm pudently disdained his sacred VOW and is now before the ecclesiastical court. He was not ashamed tC give into the hands of the wOrkmen he had deceived by the holy cross pictures and church banners which he haG forcibly taken from a chapel, in order, under the pro lection of the sacred relics so dear to the faithful, to lead men to disturb ances and some even to death.
 "The most grievou5 fact is that the disturbances were caused and brought about by Russian enemies and that considerable sums of money were re- ceiVed to create a CIVIL war, ana, Dy drawing men from their work, prevent the sending of land and sel forces to the far east and supplying the active army with all its needs.
 'eFsIrssia's enemies are striving 10 shake down her pillars of orthodoxy and autocracy. without which Russia would come to ruin. What grief it is that orthodox people should rise against the lawful power and against one another while their brothers are fighting in the far east and the em- peror and empress are endeavCring to alleviate the sufferngs of the woundedi"
 The circular concludes with adjuring the people to render obedience to the emperor and authorities.

OTHER HEROES.

He had the courage to found his kingdom in this satan subsidized world; the courage to meet and with stand every temptation to which nor tai man is subjected; the courage to pass through dark Gethsemaue. to bear the cross and despise the world. Aye. the courage to bear in his own body and soul the death penalty for the worlds sins Upon the long roll of courageous men and women we find the name of Abraham. Abrahan was not only a righteous man. but he was noted for his courage. Think of the dear old man on the morning of the day appointed for the sacrifice of his only and well beloved son, command ing and overseeing the servants as they prepared the fire and the wood for the sacrifice, and the provisions for the journey; his sending the boy into the tent to bid farewell to his dear old mother. As hand in hand the father and son travel along, listen to that heart thrilling inquiry of the innocent boy as he looks up into his fathers face and says: My father. here is the fire and the wood. but where is the lamb for a burnt otfering?" Courage my bOyI God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. On and up they go. The place is reached where the sacrifice is to be made. The altar is built. The wood is placed in order. Isaac is bound and laid upon the wood on the altar. The lads pleading eyes meet his loving fathers sympathetic gaze.

EASY BEAUTY EXERCISES.
Each Woman Should Carefully Con-
slider Her Own Defects and Persist
emily Try to Overcome Them.

Nothing is a more common cause of
physical unevenness than the habit of
incorrect standard, throwing the weight
of the body upon mi foot or leg. Many
cases of crookedness are also brought
about by some odd individual habit.
Carrying school books or parcels al
ways in one arm, especially when they
are held against the hip, throws a body
into one-sided position. Improper sit
ting at school or at desks not rightly
adjusted is responsible for many un-
even shoulders and hips.
1t is necessary for every woman to
study her own case, and to discover the
cause; ii 1t is some trick or habit. such.
for instance, as holding a trained skirt
always by the right hand, it must be
done away with promptly, and exercises
practiced to correct the figure.
In simple standing exercises it is i'm
portant that one hand should rest on
the hip and the other be clasped about
the neck. The hand on the hip belongs
to the high side; the other, lifted to
the neck, raises the entire side hip,
shoulder and all, along with it, and so
corrects the fault. The high hip is usu-
ally the right one, but each case may
differ.
Starting with this position, it is pos
sible to use an infinite number OF we'll
known exercises; those which stretch
and bend the spine are the most profit,
able.
