Sneeze Savings.

In nearly every language in the
world there is an equivalent for God
bless you," when any one sneeZes, for
the same superstition in regard to it
holds good in every country. To this
salutation in France there is added
sometimes the phrase, land preserve
you from the fate of Tycho Brahe, -
who is believed to have escaped a
death of cold by single sneeze-
which killed him. In England regu.
lar formula is, "Once for wish, twice
for a kiss, three times for letter and
four times for disappointment" In
Italy the regular salutation is simply
"Felicita," or "May you be fortunate. !"
In India when one sneezes it Is the
custom to say MAY you live" and the
reply runs Long life to YOU" In an
cient times, the Romans. holding TIE
idea that sneezing between noon and
midnight was good omen, believed
that between midnight and noon was
bad omen, and il they should chance
to sneeze while getting up In the
morning they would at once Get into
bed again. The Germans say Good
health" because they maintain that
sneezing is warning of approaching
catarrh and also marks the moment
when a charm, a wish or a suggestion
may drive it away.

ArtfuI ALTERATION.

A writer has discovered that many
of the worst foes of the horticulturist
begin with "w," and he instances
worms, weevils, wind and other work

question as to whether there is any
natural grouping Of good or evil
things under particular letters. Take

many boons and blessings to man be-
gin with it. The baker, butcher and
brewer bring him bread, beef and
beer.
For additional foods he has bacon,
beans, bloaters, broccoli. broth, pi-
valves, bananas, berries, biscuits, buns
and butter. After a banquet of
bonnes-bouches he may bring out his
briar and blow his baccy while he be-
striues his bicycle. These are but a
few of the benefcent things included
under that blessed letter "b." Now,

Industrial Barbarism.

Progress day by day teaches us how
barbarous are some of our industrial
methods, says the Lancet. What can
be more hideous to the sight than a
forest of factory chimneys, and after
all, the chimney is mans simple but
clumsy design for the creation OF a
draft, and the landscape must be
marred because the manufacturer
wants an abundant supply of oxygen
to feed his furnace fires. There IS
some hope, however, that the factory
chimney may soon give way in favor
of a system of forced draft. Already
Instructors, which have hitherto sad
ly disfgured many picturesque spot
on account of their ugly chimney
shaft. are being constructed without
chimney A simple method OF forced
draft replaces the function Of the Of
fensive shaft, and not only is it more
effectual for purposes of combustion,
but it reduces the immense cost en-
tailed in constructing chimney stack

THREW OUT GUESTS THINGS.
Tidy Wife Thought They Belonged to
Her Husband.

A night editor in New York was
talking about the late Amos ]. Cum
mings.
when Cummings" he said, "was
beginning his newspaper life he had
the good fortune to attract the atten.
tion of the leading editor of the day.
This editor took him up, pushed him
along and paid him good salary.
"The editor was absent-minded and
he never could remember that Cum
mings' first name was Amos. Asa
was the nearest he could come to
Amos, and the wise young Cummings
listened in silence to sentences from
him that began:
CASA, write good story about
- or Look here, Asa, can you get
up a story on or Asa, like your
work. am going to raise your sal
ary.'
One day Cummings had occasion to
call at the editors home. He was
ushered into the parlor, and he laid
his hat, gloves and stick on the mar
ble-topped table that stood in the mid
die of the room.
THE editor entered, and the two
men began long, interesting and i'm
portant talk.
in the midst of their discussion the
editors wife swept into the parlor.
This woman was noted for her tidi-
ness. She did not give so much as a
nod or a look to her husband or his
companion, but strobe up fiercely to
the handicapped table, gathered in
her hands Cummings cane, hat and
gloves and with snort threw them
out of the window. Then she stalked
forth again.
Cummings looked at the editor
The editor looked at him. Then, in a
soft, apologetic voice, the editor said:
"'She thought they were mine.

COX q CANDIDATE.

Governor John l. Cox made pub
lie Saturday his formal announce
ment for governor. The governor
makes dignifed statement of his
position on all questions of mo-
mentand for hich he proposes to
make fight.
He is an earnest believer in the
power for good our public school
system affords, and strongly favors
reformatory for youthful crimi-
nails in connection with our prison
system.
Thegovernor considers the ques-
tion Of good roads aud how best to
obtain them as one of the most
important that can come before the
people for consideration.
While he opposed the tpassal
of the Adams law la 1903, for
reasons then stated, he admits The
law has proven entirely satisfacto-
ry and be endorses it. He goes
further and says:
81 am now opposed to its repeal,
or to its modification in any way,
and SO long ar shall continue TO
be your chief executive, its provis-
ions, SO far as my authority goes,
shall be strictly enforced If, in
the wisdom of the next general
assembly, this law shall be extend
ed to the whole State, or TO any
portion not now covered by it, /
shall deem it my duty, as your
governor, to sign and approve such
bill, and hereby pledge myself SO
to do"
Governor Cox strongly endorses
the pensioning of the needy Con-
federate soldiers, and if the present
appropriation is not sufficient he
will favor its increase in such
amount as will meet the demand.
The governor states that as op-
portunities presents themselves,
without sacrifice of public affairs,
he will address the people and
give more in detail his views .on
the issues of the campaign.

ANTI-sALooN LEGISLATION.


Tennessee has made a notable
record as regards temperance leg
islation, says the Knoxville Senti-
mel. The man who conceived and
drafted the 4-mile law is entitled
to a monument. That law Danish
ed intemperance from the smaller
towns of the State long before the
recent agitation.
The fight of the anti-saloon
league during the last four years
has, in addition, been nobly sue
cessful one, 1t has been conduct
ell with wisdom broad and modera-
tion com mendable.
Radical changes are rarely for
the best, but any law in the inter-
est Of the prom otion of temperance
is desirable.
The 4 mile law was first extend
ed to cities of less than 1000 pop
ulation, aud then to cities Of less
than 5000 which desired the,ex-
tension. Those who have careful
ly observed the operations of this
law are pleased with it. There is
scarcely a county iii Tennesst Q
where an open advocate of its re-
peal could be elected to the legis-
I,lature.
At the recent session of the as
sembly there was spirit in favor
of going slow as to further legisla-
tion. Let the State thoroughly
.assimilate the system already IN
vogue was the sentiment. But we
have little doubt that at the next
session bill will be considered
providing for the extension Of pro-
hibitlon laws to subdivision of
counties and cities which desire
to vote on the question. Such
steps would, if taken, results in
the segregation of saioonsin cities.
There is undoubtly a growing
element of our people, even in the
large cities, which is considering
seriously such a step. Prohibition
for large city is so difficult to en-
force that 1t would fail of it's pur-
pose, and do more harm than good
But why shouldn't a city say for
itself where the saloons are to be
permitted?
This and such questions should
be given serious consideration.
We believe that the conditions in
Knoxville as regards Sunday sell
ing, all-night saloons and gamb-
ling are better than formerly.
There is still room for much
improvement, but il is a fact that
the saloon men themselves are now
nearly a unit in upholding thelaws,
and they should be commended
for it.

and powerfully built as Raoul, the

dogs, which made straight for the
stranger.
