JOB AND AMERICANIsMs
A Bit Of "Slang'' Wrongly Credited to
the United States.

A correspondent of the New York
Times Saturday Review calls attention
to.the fact that Job was the father Of
a certain phrase that is now being apol-
ogized for and branded as slang. She
says:
in an article entitled 1.-THE Political Crisis
in England" Justin Mccarthy quotes the
words "by the skin Of the teeth" half
apologizing therefor by adding, ITO use
the somewhat vulgar old phrase Years
ago heard a mother reprove her daugh-
ter for using the same words, saying:

'Dont indulge in slang. my dear" Bart
lett, in his Familiar Quotations" stig-
matizes the phrase as an American
ism," but many years ago The Atlantic
Monthly allowed me to plead, thru the
medium of it's Contributors Club, that
the phrase might rather be called an
Uz-ism since Job made use Of it in his
wailings
"Make me weary" in various COM
binations, used to be regarded as
slang; perhaps it is yet; But JOB
started that also; at least it has not
been traced back of his day.

The citizens of New Orleans are
seeking comfort in the belief that
they are suffering only from mos
quito bites. That the mosquito was
the disseminator of fevers was known
to the people of Ceylon, and per-
haps to all OF India, some fourteen
centuries ago. Modern science is
merely rediscovering facts that were
commonplaces of knowledge in the
east before England was settled by
its present races. When British
scientists started Investigations into
the effects of the mosquito bite, they
were astonished to learn that the
benighted hcathen in land where
every prospect pleases anu lnah only
is vile had anticipated their boasted
science by centuries, had found that
there were sixty-seven kinds of mos
quitees, and further that there were
four kinds of malarial fever caused
by the bite of those mosquitoes. The
Romans also knew the fatal effects
of the mosquito bite, and resolted to
effective measures for getting rid of
the pest. Elk.

why will cotton planters who insist

cotton seed by the free and mlmlt-
ed use of cotton seed products will
give them all that they want with

VThe Italian and the Negro.
AS Italian farm laborers, fruit


AS Italian farm laborers, fruit
growers, and small farmers are COM
ing INTO the south in increasing
numbers there has inevitably result
ed competition between these new
comers anG the NEGROES, who, up to
this time, have njoycd Il monopoly
in the field agricultural labor Sev-
cral questions are suggested by this
competitive struggle that are OF
great interest to this section. Is 1t
likely that the Italian and imml-
grants of Il similar class will dis
place the negro as Il farm laborer IN
the south: Is such an event deslra-
hlc; Professor Walter l.. Fleming,
Of West Nirglnie University, makes
these remarkable assertions:
Side by side with negroes, the ltal-
ians have proved their superiority as
farm labo erS. MIR Dou9heIty, a
planter of Baton Rouge who en-
plovs about 40 Italian families, states
that they are peareable and mor'
industrious than the negro; that they
q% learn to do unfamiliar work,
rcaNeteck better and cultivate their
crops more intelligently; that they
are more economical and do not rush
into debt nor spend their earnlnsg
extravagaptly. Otner planters report
that they are good famers; that they
have model farms and well-kcpt
house and premises: and that they
raise everything at home. Near
Greenvllle, Mississippi, is an Italian
colony engaged in cotton farming.
Each family on 20 acres usually clears
on each crop 5000 to $500 above
expenses
He.adds that many farmers have
substituted Italians for negroes us
tenants.
Here we have an even more defin-
ite statement, quoted by Professor
Fleming from A H Stone. a planter
of Greenville, Miss:
1t is always difficult to get Il negro
to plant aad properly cultivate the
outer edges of his field the extreme
ends Of his row, his ditch banks, etc.
The Italian is so jealous of the use
of every foot for which he pays rent
that he will cultivate with a hoe
places too small to be worked with
lplow and derive Il revenue
from spots to which a negro would
not give II moments thought. I
have seen them cultivate right down
to the waters edge the banks of
bavous that had never before been
touched by the pillow. | have seen
them walk through their fields aud
search out every skipped place IN
every row and caref ully put IN seed
to secure perfect stan d. have seen
them make more cotton per acre tnan
the negro on the adjoining cut, gather
it fro m two to four weeks earlier,
and then put extra time earning
money by picking in the negro's field. +.

For Shooting of Mexican by Texas

Washington, April 15.-Failure of
Mexican citizen to obtain satisfaction
from the officials of Cameron, Texas,
for personal injuries suffered in that
county evoked a serious complaint to
the Washington government from the
Mexican government against the Texas
authorities and caused Secretary Hay

federal treasury $500 to Mexico in salts

RUSHING PIPE LINE.
Kansas City Counts on Natural Gas
Early in July.

Chanute Kan, April 15.--There
are more than 500 Greeks and Italians
laying the pipe line in Allen county
which is to carry natural gas to KAN
sas City. The men work about six
feet apart in trenching, and when
LAYING pine three work on each end
of a point. The big Is inch pipe
nearly large enough for q man to
crawl through-is strung along the
farms and the roads for a distance of
several miles, and the Greeks and
Italians, bossed by Irish foremen al
ways, work in the same stretch of ter
ritory. There are interpreters, too, z
or more of them, because the men do
not speak enough English even to or
der a meal.
It is the purpose of the company to
have on the Arnel farm, in Allen
county, one of the most complete
pumping stations IN the United states.
The cost will be more than $500, 000.
Here all the branch lines for miles
and miles will be centered and the gas
started on it's long journey to north
ern- Kansas and Missouri.
Two-thirds of the Kansas City line
has been worked over and half of it
is completed. The line has been sec
tionized and the gangs are working
both ways from Ottawa, Colony and
Humboldt. All told there are more
than 1000 men engaged IN laying the
line and more than 900 Of these are
unable to speak the language of old
England.
The Kansas Natural Gas company
is buying its right of way as it goes
along The farmers generally are re-
ceiving 40 cents 81 rod, but some Of
them have fsgOt wise and realize that
holding out for more they win receive
more, because the company is in a
hurry to get the pipe line through ana
has no time to wait for condemnation
proceedings and delays of that kind.
Some farmers have received as high as
81 a rod, and a very few have received
much more than this. The company
is having no trouble over the cross
ing of public roads as was the case
in the southern end Of the field.

TWENTY YEARS RECORD
State Board of Health Issues an ami
yersary Bulletin.

The Kansas state board Of health
has now been organized twenty years.
1t finished its second decade this
week Secretary Crumbine celebrated
the event by issuing a bulletin to the
city and county health officers of the
state, asking that more complete rec
ords of vital statistics be kept, ana
that the health officers look after
sanitary conditions with a view to
keeping down disease during the sum
mer. The prevalence Of smallpox is
noted and health officers are asked to
see that all places where it has exist
ed be thoroughly fumigated in order
to keep it from breaking out again
when cold weather comes next winter.
The bulletin says:
To-day is the twentieth anniversary
of the institution of the state board of
health. Reviewing the work of the
board for this period of time. It can
be said that much good has been ac-
complished in the way Of suppression
Of epidemic diseases. and Of more
thorough organization Of the sanitary
forces Of the state.
1--WE believe it has also been instru-
mental in bringing into closer rela-
tionship the various physicians in
their respective communities by an
attitude Of cooperation in sanitary
and quarantine measures.
ct desire once more to call the at
matter OF keeping a faithful record
Of all births and deaths occurring in
their county giving names, dates,
places, etc. This record book should
also comprehend a faithful record of
all epidemics Of contagious diseases,
together with an abstract Of such re-
ports as are sent to this Office. There
are many times when these records
are Of very great value, not only from
a statistical and medical standpoint,
put from pecuniary standpoint in
the settlement of estates, etc.
1.-THE reports received for the month
Of March indicate an increase of all
epidemic contagious diseases, par
tioularly that Of smallpox. and it is
urged that disinfection Of all infected
places and things be thorough and
complete, that the epidemic may be
controlled and not break out again
upon the arrival of cold weather next
fall. Now that spring is upon US and
