BLACKBIRD FIGHTS CAT.

Blackbirds, it is known, will do many
things, but the following story of a
fight with cat may be worth record
ing:
Last week Mr.. John Dennis, clerk
and sexton at the Bohemian Parish
Church, found two young blackbirds in
the churchyard. He placed them in a
cage outside his house. where the old
birds found them. and have been feed
ing them ever since, starting as early
as o'clock in the morning.
The other morning, while engaged in
his work, the hen bird was seized by a
cat, whereupon the cock attacked it
furiously, and with such a connection
as to attract an attendant In the
churchyard, with the result that the
hen was rescued. Daily News

The Conduct os STUDENTS.

To Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
The drastic action which has been
recently taken to regulate the conduct
Of students on Temple street is very
gratifying to the writer, and all true
friends of our University, but who still
wonder that something in this line had
not been done long ago. 1t seems hard
ly possible that the authorities of our
University could have been unaware of
the feeling in the community that for

Quite beyond any surface likeness
there is a subtle display Of relation be-
tween journalism and fiction OF which
little account is currently taken. The
story quality Of much that passes for
news modifies the reading habits of a
constituency including almost all the
reading public. This is a quality pecu-
larry American. The American news
paper, as an acute French observer has
said, is huge collection Of short
stories" The aptness Of the description
finds Justification In the accepted slang
term of story applied, in newspaper
parlance, without discrimination to
whatever may be printed at length, be
it serious, sensational or humorous, an
affair of state, a catastrophe or a
street incident. Reciprocally, such is
the automatic working of habit. even
the reader who takes his newspaper
seriously may often find himself pass
ing over a matter of moment for the
story" of some trivialty amusingly
sketched.
This encroachement of the newspaper
on the province Of ordinary story-tell-
ing vitiating the popular taste and to
some extent that of the more thought
full, has also had its part in delimitine
the sphere Of fiction as art 1t has
! led to emphasis on the difference be-
tween the clever photography Of
journalism and that suggestiveness OF

The report made by Surgeon Ray
mond Spear, U. S. N, Of his observa-
tions Of the Russian troops in Man
churia contains many interesting feat
ures. He was able to get large num-
Der of photographs with the camera
which he carried all the time during his
service with the troops, and he obtained
additional pictures here and there in
the course Of his travels. He had I'M
usual opportunities of observation, and
his report is devoted especially to the
question Of transporting sick and
wounded. The Russians required such
facilities to a greater extent than did
the Japanese, and the devices to which
the Russians resorted when hard press
ed showed they were of ready resource.
1t often happened, however, that the
movements were so sudden and so
much like flight before a pursuing enc
my that wounded men were left be-
hind. In such instances it was found
that the Japanese took admirable care
of those tntrusted TO their keeping. The
report Of Surgeon Spear. with that of

Mr.. Wilson, Secretary Of Agriculture,
Is of the opinion that the packers and
puryeyors of canned goods will find
that their products are less salable
without the date of canning on the
label, and that before the meat inspeo-
ton law is long in operation they
themselves will beg that the inspection
tags be dated, petition to which the
Department of Agriculture will respond
promptly and favorably. Guess that's
about right.

TIE CONTROLLING App1ES.

Comfort me with apples, said a sweet
singer and a wise man. Many still sing
his song, and some around here who do
have noticed that during the last year
the comfort in apples wasn't quite
what it really ought to be, considering
the price charged for the apples. Per-
haps there We're not many first-class
apples, and perhaps if there were they
were not allowed to stay in the country.
Apples have been sent abroad in the
large freight vessels in such quantity
that the amount Of export during the
past season reached the enormous to-
tai of 2,411,473 barrels. And the expor-
tation has, it appears only just begun,
1t has come to light that steamship
service, to be used exclusively for the
expectation of apples from this coun-
try to England, has been planned by a
large fruit importing house in London
The ships will ply between Boston and
London and Hull, and no other kind of
freight will be carried save apples.
These steamers are expected to sail ev-
cry fortnight, and will have a carrying
capacity of 10000 barrels. That means
4e, 900 barrels a month for each vessel,
and as there will doubtless be three or
four ships on the line, it will be at once
understood what a vast number of APP
| pies will be sent abroad by this line
alone. BY expediting the carriage Of
the fruit abroad, the fruit handlers con-
fidentiy expect to market it to much
greater advantage, and doubtless their
expectations will be fully realized, and
the traffic will, in consequence, increase
to marvellous extent.
No wonder the foreigners like our APP
pies. There's going to be much money
as well as comfort in them.

on the earnings of the vicomte's brush.
There was no stipulation as to time.

ming their bet. They have traversed

WHETHER MALADY OR FALAcY

Is there SUCH a thing as hydro
phobia? Many medical authori-
ties say not. The popular belief
that there is, is probably inerad-
icable. Many dogs are killed in
the belief that they are mad when
as matter of fact they are not.
The Washington Post asserts that
belief in hydrOphobia is a "med
ieval superstition" and that the
great neurologists have so de
clared. However, fear of mad
dogs and belief in madstones are
well nigh universal among those
who have no real knowledge of
the subject, while those who are
skeptical are not disposed to take
chances, and the cry of "mad
dog sends them scooting. An
eminent neurologist of Philadel-
phia, DR.. Charles w. Dulles, says
the disease in human beings is
simply imaginary, and that eau
terization is a foolish method of
treating a supposed victim, as it
shuts the supposed poison in the
veins instead of drawing it out.
But people who believe in the eff
ficacy of the alleged maidstone tell
marvellous tales of how it draws
the poison out and saves the patient
from violent death. 1t would be
interesting to know when, where
and how belief in the MAIDS tone
originated. Undoubtedly most
cases of so-called rabies are not
rabies. Almost any old remedy
would cure an imaginary disease.

MORE LAsoRgRs ARE WANTED

Some very notable speeches were
made at the meeting of manufac-
turers at Warm Springs last week
on the subject of immigration.
The meeting was attended by man
ufacturers, farmers and railroad
men, all Of whom want to get more
labor in the state. Thousands of
farmers say they can not get
enough help to make their crops.
Everywhere the factories complain
that they are short of help.
The railroads say that labor is
very scarce with them. When a
contractor gets good force some
other contractor sends an agent
around and he lures off all that
he can get.
An Alabama man said that his
company is putting up a building
which was to cost 100000. On
account of the scarcity of labor the
cost will be $4,000 more than
that sum.
Frank P. Sargent, Commission.
er-General of immigration, came
down from Washington and made
an address. He said that Georgia
can get immigrants if she will go
at it in earnest.
Less than 2, 500 immigrants have
come to Georgia in the last ten
years, while more than a million
came to the United States last
year. He advocated a state bu-
reau, saying that Georgia ought to
publish in foreign languages some
thing about resources and oppor-
tunities and send this matter
abroad. He also favored a direct
steamship line between savannah
and some European port.
The only effort being made to
bring settlers and labor to Georgia
is the work done by an association
of few railroad men. Col. Sam
&c. Dunlap favored Mr.. Sargent's
ideas about a state bureau, and he
suggested that the work could be
carried on by the Commissioner Of
Agriculture without creating 9
new office.
President L. 3. Gordon, of the
Georgia Industrial Association, es
timated that the idle looms in the
state due to labor shortage is equa
to twelve large mills shut down al
the time.

seng brings S13 to $50 gold per

stock on hand. Native cultivated
ginseng sells for from So so to $13

ginseng, such as is sent to the En-
peror of China, is valued at from
$3.50 to $500 gold per pound. The
"sang diggers' of the woods and
mountains of Georgia have often
heard that in China "sang" is
worth its weight in silver. The
wild Manchurian article is. worth
four to five times its weight in
gold.
