Salt From Sea Water.

A great California industry is the
manufacture of salt from sea water. In
Alameda county 100000 tons were pro-
duced last year. Only few years ago
the state imported all it's salt. Now it
produces enough for it's own use
which is enormous, owing to The fish

MAD MONTH OF MARCH.

From the New York Mail.
Mars was not a favorite among the
classic Greeks nor is his name month
a great favorite among the Gothic mod
ems. The god of war was a barbarian
intruder in the olympian circle. There
was something Thracian, and by that
token crude and unworthy, in his manner.
He was more of a busterer than a fighter
and Homer relates with evident relish
how Pallas Athene tumbled him over in
combat, his vast bulk covering several
acres OF wild aspects. untutored ways
and Indifferent Wits he had little to rec
ommend him but his immortal origin.
Such also is the month that has taken
the war gods name. One poet notes its
ugly looks and threats "A half-wld
creature cast from natures lap another
calls 1t. The proyerb mad as a March
hare" says the same thing with less ret
icence English people call the month
March Manyweathers," and thereby In
innate their doubt of its capacity for
sustained purposes 1t is the Thracian
of the twelve, as September is the Tyrian.
There is something clustering and barren
in Its aspect, as there is In what people
call "a good war" The winds that blow
from one end of it to the other are not
the winds of God" A peck of March
dust may be worth kings ransom, as a
wise saw has 1t. but from the, average
humap 1t gets less grateful guerdon BE
ware the ides of March Is good wisdom
for our common humanity.

Richardson's Amendment.

The Williams Mallory quarantine bill
ing the Richardson amendment, which
brings into the bill interstate features.
Outside of the Richardson amendment
the measure relates to maritime quar-
antine only. We give the amendment
in full, as follows:
THAT it shall be unlawful for any state
or municipal health officer or other per-
son TO hinder, obstruct or unnecessarily
delay any common carrier or to interfere
with any fundamentally of commerce en-
gagged In the transportation of passengers
or freight between the states:
Provided That this act shall not be
construed or understood as giving author
ity to any person to debark or unload
freight at any locality against the state
or municipal regulations of such locality.
Any person violating the provisions of
this section shall be guilty of msde-
meanor and on conviction thereof be
punished by fine not exceeding $500 or
be imprisoned for period not exceeding
one year. or both. in the discretion of the
court
While the amendment may lead to a
discussion and possibly to serious OPP
position in the House, yet IL is wholly
sound and sensible. No believer in the
mosquito theory can consistently op-
pose 1t, and no one who desires to get
rid of shotgun guarantees will lift a
hand against it. 1t will be remembered
that Mississippi and Alabama kept in
terstate routes open last summer, while
Texas closed its doors against all in
fected points No harm arose over the
Alabama and Mississippi policy, and
none can arise because the mosquito
is now known to be a necessary inter-
vening agent in the spreading of the
disease. AS the New Orleans Times
Democrat says, there is every reason
why the Richardson'amendmen should
be retained unless indeed it will ser-
ously endanger the passage of the bill.

Regarding Physical Violence.

when one picks up the papers and no.
tees from time to time the remarkable
number of murders that occur throughout
the country daily it Is hard to realize that
we are really and truly civilized coun-
try" said a prominent lawyer of Gads-
den yesterday. ut appears that instead
of using good common sense, when an
insult Is offered to a man. the first thing
he thinks OF is physical violence. To the
mind of the man lnsulted, whether in a
real or imaginary way, nothing will wipe
out the stain against honor but violence,
To my mind, the real hero Is the man
who will ignore calumny and say, like
the old minister down In New England,
No matter what people may say of me,
l can say ten times worse things myself
about myself
''rhis idea of violence Is not limited to
the male sex, but unfortunately many of
the gentler sex feel the same way. l
have in mind an incident that happened
during the lynehng of Bunk Richard
son in Gadsden a short time ago. One of
the ladies of my town knew that trouble
was threatened and urged her husband
to help do away with the negro. Being
of good sense, he refused to have any
thing to do with the matter whereupon
she tainted him with his sense of fear

Children in Alabama Mills.

In the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post Mrs John Van Worst
writes the initial illustrated article,
and 1t is entitled THE Cry of the Chill
drep." It is scarcely necessary to add
that it relates to the children in the
cotton mills. Mrs Van Worst is visit
ing mills in the various states. and her
first article includes an account of her
visits TO Alabama mills.
She was refused admission to mill
in Jefferson county that she does not
designate, but in the Admission section
she was more fortunate. On her way
to an Admission mill she met little girl
acting as nurse who said she had a
brother in the mill. This brother, She
said, is Il years old in the mill, and 10
years old outside of It. She describes
at length the quarters of the workers
in that Admission mill In the spinning
was admitted with the little girl, she
saw, thirty-eight at work, not ten of
whom were Il years old. A 7-year-old
was sweeper of the floor, and children
of all ages were there, from years old
upwards, and the night shift is not
much better. Mrs. Van Vorst's story
is cut off just after she presents har-
rowing picture of the night shift in
that Admission mill.
The charges that she makes should
not go unheeded. The law of 1903 for
bids the employment at any time In
cotton mills of children under IL years
of age, and of all children under 10 at
night, but that law makes no provision
for inspectors or for truant officers or
for school laws, and Mrs. Van Worst
asserts that the law is dead letter
that mill managers ignore it-that chill
dren are employed wholly regardless
of it-that child SLAYER of this sort is
more prevalent in Alabama than 1t
ever has been.
Either the law of 1903 should be re-
pealed or else 1t should be enforced.
But the penalties of that law are chief
ly noticeable because of their absence,
and perhaps this is the reason why
solicitors and grand juries overlook it.
1t is simply a non-operative law that
no one respects, If Mrs. Van Worst has
stated correctly attendant results and
circumstances.

"When I am dead the box will give up

This statement was made in bitterness

near this city. As he spoke he pointed to
a place in the dirt floor of his cabin
where he has buried a cement box. lined

of his life, which will no doubt end in
the self-isoIation which he has chosen.
Roach was once, a man of influence,

The eye sees not itself,
But by reflection, by some other things.
Julius Caesar.
Startinu The New Crop

The purchase of fertilizers and the
other crop preparations seem to show
a desire among the farmers to increase
their acreage alike in cotton and corn.
A good deal of corn has been planted,
and in southwestern Texas the plant
ing of cotton is well started. Each
working day sees the work of seeding
advanced northward and eastward, and
the two great crops will soon be be-
yond the termination stage.
As a rule the conditions have been
favorable for farm work. and II the
rainfall does not become excessive the
crops in the south will have the adj
vantage of an early start. But an early
start and an increased acreage do not
necessarily mean large crops, for the
weather will continue to be a factor
until the crops are harvested.
All that can be said is. excellent
progress has been made in seeding and
other preparatory steps. and that the
outlook for corn is better than 1t was
last spring. The acreage is to be larger,
and the acreage in cotton promises to
be larger than that of last summer
but below that of the summer of 1904
when 31,730,311 acres were devoted to
cotton, and the crop rose to uhprece-
dented figures. But the summer of
1904 and the acreage were both highly
favorable, and nature may not smile
on us in the coming summer as she did
in 1904. Acreage is not, in other words,
fully determinate. 1t looks toward big
figures, but it by no means assures the
making of a bumper crop.

EGGS WITH HANDLES.
A Wise ornlthologlst Suggested" the
the Admirable Idea.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Robert E. Foster. Jr., Of Newtsn, sus-
sex county. New Jersey. an ornithologist
and biologist, has succeeded with the
able assistance Of his white Leghorn
ROSTERS and hens. in developing an egg
with handle.
Mr.. Foster will not tell how he educa-
ted the Leghorns up to this, but he has
seven eggs with handles One such is
on exhibition In the editorial rooms of
the Sussex Register and proves the power
of suggestion over intelligent and OBJ
servant fowls.
On the small end of this egg is pro-
tuberance from the shell about as big as
the handle of a tiny demitasse. The butt
of the egg is fattened, so that the egg
stands by itself Any one can see the
immense economic and commercial value
of an egg so shaped. Eggcups will be
superf1uous hereafter.
But Mr.. Foster is reaching for higher
triumph. He is adding, gradually, whisky,
sugar and nutmeg to the water his Leg
horns drink. He expects soon to ship
egg-nogs by the crate labelled:
"Slice off the top. That's ALL
