MEN Marked to Die, Social
lists Issue Proclamation" This
is the heading to a Geographic
item in the Salisbury Post, and
doubtless similar heads are over
the same statement in other pa
pers. The possibility is that this
statement conveys as great a false
hood as the one about the Social
ist rebellion in St. Petersburg led
by Priest Gopon, which was a lie
out of the whole cloth. Socialists
oppose the Anarchists in this mat
ter on the ground that it results
in evil, bringing on greater op-
preston, and that to kill one ty-
rant only ushers in another. who,
in the very nature Of things, will
use greater suppressive powers, if
possible. The press reports from
Russia, like those from other mon
arches land even those from the
Philippines J., being censored by
government officials, are totally
unreliable.

Blowing or Breathing Wells.

The United States Geological
Survey has on hand the investiga-
ton of curious phenomena known
as blowing" or breathing"
wells. In the course of collecting
we'll records the Psychologists of
the survey have observed many
wells that emit currents of air
with more or less force, somtimes
accompanied by a whistling sound
which can he heard for a long dis
lance.
The best-known examples of this
type of we'll are found throughout
the State of Nebraska. Blowing
wells are also known to occur in
Rapides parish in southern Lou
%isiana. The force of the air cur
rent in one of the Louisiana wells
is sufficient to keep a mans hat
suspended above it.
The cause of such phenomena is
mainly due to changes in atmos-
pheric pressure or to changes in
temperature. During the progress
of a low-barometer storm over
these regions, the air is expelled
from the blowing wells. With a
rising barometer the blowing be-
comes rapidly less until the cur
rent is finally reversed. Differ
ences in the temperature of the
surface air and the air in the
soil also produces similar effects.
When the interstices between the
grains Of sand, gravel, ETC., in
which the we'll is driven are filled
with water, the phenomena OF
blowing is much less noticeable.
The Survey will welcome any in
formation from well-owners and
drillers relating to these wells.

"For your life don't touch the

that'll stop her."

Joys of Youth.

There is no pleasure in all the cate- gory of human emotions that can surpass the joy of showing off when you were a boy said a man about town
 T was coming in from East Lake on the car Sunday afternoon and observed an urchln who was racing with the car, on his bicycle. He had a big automobile horn on the machine and as he rode along he woke the echoes. in the neigh boring hills.
 At times the motorman put on a burst of speed and the car would fly along for several blocks at such a pace that tho boy would be left behind, but at the first stop he would come riding nonchalantly from somewhere in the rear, as if keep ing up with 8 trolley car on fast sched- ule was the easiest thing in the world. Whenever he overlook the car after a long spurt he announced the fact by re- peated blasts from his horn.
 ITO watch the expression on that boy g face was delight He was so immensely pleased with himself that his satlsfac- tion was obtrusive. When we reached town he was lost in the stream of ve- hicles, but as long as he lives he will look upon trolley cars with a feeling akin to contempt

Sanitary Grocery Stores.

The more progressive towns of this country are acquiring sanitary grocery stores and fruit stands, while the less progressive towns are content to have grocery stores in which lettuce is piled where the store cat and the neighbor- hood dogs can scamper over it, and the berries ar placed where they will gather the largest possible quantity of street dust. Dust from the street as is well known is loaded with disease germs, and yet people go on buying articles that necessarily must be well sprinkled with it.
 In the unsanitary store hardware is carefully protected in glass cases from all transient germs, while the pickle barrel stand where every hobo can lounge over it, and abstract a sample or two by plunging his un- washed hands into it. The inconsist- enCleS Ol SuCH SlOle dlS AnuSH toO numerous to mention. All are famil- far with the fruit stands and grocery stores that give private convenience preference over public health.
 Another kind of fruit stand, grocery store and butchers stall is beginning to appear. loweyer-the strictly sani- tary sort-the sort that abounds in marble-top counters, show cases, ele- vated bins, towels, clean aprons, wash basins and the like. The new sanitary stores are open to inspection. and they will stand inspection every day in the week, no matter how rigid it may be. The new sort are not very thick in this state at present, but they are headed this way, and no doubt Ala bama will soon be supplied with them. Then the question will arise, will con sumers appreciate the change? If they do not, the sanitary revolution will be short-lived, but if they prefer articles of food free from disease germs then they will have come to stay.

No PnhlIc LihrarY.

In building a city at the heart of the mineral district nearly everything has had due attention except a public library. We have. it is true, a nucleus of a library, but 1t belongs to the schools. and it is not a free public library in any sense. The public schools purchased the books, and it is to be housed in the high school build ing now in coures of construction.
 Soon or late the establishment of a public library will force itself upon the attention of this city, and it might be we'll to ascertain upon what terms the school library can be enlarged and opened to the people free from all charges. A public library is a public necessity-one that demands no fees from those who observe it's rules. Such a library will be established in this town. It is a question of time only.
 The school library is fine nucleus, and if Superintendent Phillips would outline plan for it's enlargement and its use by the people, it might be pos sible to find the ways and means to an execution of his plan. The plan should not impose at first heavy burden. The city can afford to do something, for some extravagance or superfuity can be cut off to admit of some help towards the building up of a public library. Beyond the city stand the citizens, and they surely can be rallied in the cause of providing books for all, for all believe that Birming- ham should be kep, abreast of other cities. All surrounding cities--Mem- phis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta and Montgomery-have fine public H. braries. open to all without fee, and it goes without the saying that Birming- ham people will keep up with the pro- cession of readers.

New furniture and fix lures have been put in, which will greatly facilitate the ever increasing business at the Cullman postoffice.

Judge Feaaln,s Story.

Judge Feagin of the police court of Bir- mfngham tells a good story on himself, which he relishes as much in the telling as his friends in hearing It.
 It was brought up on the occasion of his renewing an old and warm acquaint- ance with Sheriff W. M. Woodruff of Calhoun county, was was in Birmingham yesterday. They were in the office of the chief of police at the city hall at the time.
 During the conversation between the two officials Judge Feagfn said: T am reminded of an incident that occurred between myself and MT. Bob Thompson back several years ago when l practleed law at Anniston.
 Bob was Mayor of Oxford and in that caapcity sentenced two negro women, clients of mine to hard labor on the streets. I examined the town charter and found that he could not legally exact such punishment, and I promptly wrote him to that effect, adding that if he did not release my clients I would institute habeas corpus proceedings.
 ''I received a letter in reply at once, in which MT. Thompson politely informed me that he had possibly erred in his judgment, but after making a little in- vestigation of his own he had also found in the city charter that could not prac- tice law in his town without paying s10 license, and that if I did not pay it at once he would put me in jail.
 Paid the license. added the Judge.

Rumors of Peace.
peace.

Rumors of peace continue to come alike from St. Petersburg and from other European capitals. Nothing, however, is known as to their basis. They may have none. And yet it is known that an increasing number of men surrounding the Czar are in favor of peace efforts if Japan does not in- sist upon an indemnity or the cession of any Russian territory. Russia no longer considers Manchuria Russian territory. She has simply changed her mind, as she had right to do.
 Outside of the indemnity question two other obstacles to peace appear The war party in Russia clngs to the belief that Rojestvensky's barnacle- weighted ships can regain control of the sea, and it is averse to peace until he is sent to the far east to try con clusions with Admiral Togo.
 In Japan peace, it is said, would in. terfere with Oyamas campaign, which has been thoughtfully prepared for No doubt the intention is to seize this summer both Harbin and Vladivostok, and to drive the Russians back to the Lake Baikal region. Sahalin, too, could be occupied. There are many Japanese who think peace negotia- tions should be postponed until the present campaign is ended.
 The chances, however, are that they will not be postponed, and that peace overtures have either been made or soon will be-where, no one knows. It does not matter where peace negotia-

EXPENSIVE GARMENTS.
What Is Paid for Coat, Boa and MuFf
 In New York City.

From "The Shameful Misuse of Wealth, ," by Cleveland Moffett, in Success Maga- zine"
 l find that six thousand dollars for a sable coat Is only a fair price, in fact it is a very low price for coat of fine sable. As witness this talk that had the other day with New York's leading fur Tier:
 Gan you show me good sable coat?" I inquired.
 Russian sable?" he asked.
 "Yes,' said I, something especially fine,-say about six thousand dollars.
 He smiled. We haven't anything made tip that I would call especially fine. We have a rather short coat of rather light skins. moderate quality. that will cost ten thousand dollars"
 Ten thousand dollarsi" I exclaimed. Then what would a good coat cost?'
 He continued to smile and produced a number of fine skins,--the real Imperial sable, very dark with silver lights playing through the soft fur. And he showed me the price marks, five hundred and fifty dollars a skin, about ten dollars a square inch
 This is the best Siberian sable" he went on "A coat of moderate length say thirty inches, requires sixty skins and"
 Sixty times five hundred and fifty" I murmured.
 ''Thirty-three thousand dollars which includes the cost of making"
 And a longer coat?" I gasped.
 One reaching a lady's ankles would require, say eighty skins. that is forty four thousand dollars" he replied rather matter-of-fact
 And you sell coats at such prices?" l continued in amazement.
 We sell this kind of sable as fast as we can get 1t. The best skins are very scarce"
 And muff?" I asked. meekly, "just a muff?"
 Five skins" said he, 'twenty-seven hundred and fifty dollars. There's one in the show case" fN
 And a boa?' A little boa?'
 Four skins at least, that is twenty-two hundred dollars"
 Here then evidently I erred not on the side of exaggeration but of understate- nent; put down thirty thousand dollars as the maximum yearly sum that a few New York women spend on dress. includ- ing everything, whereas nearly fifty thou sand dollars may be spent simply for a fur coat with boa and muff!
