THE SOUTH SHOULD HAVE
Il SHARE.

Counting the magnificent dona
ton of $50, 0O0, 900 recently made
by John D. Rockefeller, with one
stroke of his mighty pen, to New
Works general educational fund,
the sum given by American mil
1ionaires to various educational
institutions within a little over a
quarter of century foots up over
$50, 900, 900. Adding the splendid
contribution of the English money
colossus Cecil Rhodes, the amount
reaches the fstupendous figures of
over 500, 100000 which is being
spent or to be spent on the educa-
ton of American youth. Viewed
from a national stand point, this
splendid provision for the enlight-
eminent and elevation of the rising
and future generations is matter
for self graduation, and all Amer
leans must feel proud of the phi
1authropy of its rich men in this
respect. 1t must be confessed,
however, that the people of the
South have cause to feel somewhat
.envious of their more fortunate
compatriots of the North and West,
who have been the moreimmediate
bene6ciaries of these magnificent
donations, by reason of the favored
institutions being located in those
sections almost exclusively. The
South, outside of the Rice bequest
30 Houston and the Peabody fund,
has been overlooked in the bestow-
al of such benefactions, and yet
this section has had vastly greater
need of help along these lines than
any other section, crippled as it
was by the cruel effects of the War,
from which it has not even yet re-
covered. It is to be hoped that
some of these colossi of finance,
who perhaps draw as much of their
substance proportionately from this
section as elsewhere, may yet turn
their attention towards the Sunny
South and give its people share
in the benefits which are theirs to
bestow.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed COIL
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is inham-
ed you have runbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catai-h,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

BIG INVASION
OF HOMESEEKERS
Fifteen Car Loads of Visitors
Arrive Here
Besides Many Coming on Regular Train.
Visited Truck Farms in Morning and
Saw Bull Fight in Mexico in
Afternoon.

The largest invasion OF home
seekers visiting Brownsville SO far
came in Saturday and Sunday
storming the town by car loads.
Besides twelve car loads that came
on the special train Saturday,
three more came came in with the
regular train that night and
another Sunday night. Many
others came also by the regular
trains, and a conservative estimate
places the number of visitors in
Brownsville since last Saturday at
about six hundred.
These people came from various
and widely separated points
throughout the north, as many as
fourteen or fifteen states being
represented. They appear to be a
healthy, prosperous lot of people,
and to take the greatest interest in
this widely advertised Brownsville
country. AS usual, the visitors
spent the day driving out to the
country and looking at the fine
truck, fruit and sugar farms near
Brownsville. In the afternoon,
the bull fight in Matamoros drew
crowd across the Rio Grande to the
shore of Old Mexico, which was
enjoyed by them as novelty.
Most of the visitors left today
on the special. others going by the
regular, while many remained
here for longer stay.
It is understood that number
of land sales will result from this
invasion of homeseekers. many of
whom came expecting to buy and
locate in this section.
The following agents of the
Rock Island colonization depart
ment and other immigration agen-
cies came in charge of this excur-
sion:

NAMING THE BABY
Some SenseIess American Customs Com.
pared With Those Of Other Lands.

A name is something to be al
ways with us unless altered by ACT
of legislature or disguised by an
alias. The former causes comment
and some confusion, and tie latter
is doubtful success.
1t is a great pity that parents do
not look ahead a few years when
naming baby. One grown man
of to-day has to sign his legal
name as Willie because his
mother would have him baptized
that instead of William. As for
the Percivals, Roys, Dukes and
Lords and other romantic selec-
tions, doubtless their owners long
for a plain John or James, par
ticularly if the last name is not
sufficiently high sounding to cor
respond.
Naming the baby is a matter of
consideration and formality in other
parts of the world as in America,
although here in selecting the
name the wishes of both parents
are usually followed as far as pos
sible.
Probably the baby in later life
often wishes that this were not so,
and that, like the poor little
Chinese girls, it might simply be
numbered l, 2 or 3, as the case
may be, until it reaches years of
discretion and chooses a name to
suit itself.
Japanese children are nameless
until they are Eve years old,
when the choice of nomenclature
rests entirely with paterfamilias.
Hindoo mothers name their off
spring at the end of twelve days,
and then usually call them by a
flower name. A pretty Egyptian
custom is to light three candles,
naming each after a god or some
exalted parsonage. The child is
called after the lucky" candle
which burns the longest.
The Mohammedan father and
mother each write the choice of a
name on slip of paper and place
both in the Koran. Which ever
slip is first drawn names the child.
Chinese boys are named tenn
porarily until their fathers give
them a permanent one when they
are. twenty years old.
Customs of this sort are a great
help, it would seem. and some of
them might be adopted in this
country when a family disagrees
upon a suitable surname for an
unfortunate little newcomer, whose
mother wishes him named for her
husband, fainter wishes him for a
rich relative, sister thinks the
hero's name in new novel would
be nice, grandmother thinks he
ought to be called after his great
grandfather, with the result that a
more or less successful combination
of the entire list is hurdened upon
the innocent victim, to be a laugh
ing stock of future schoolfellows,
and a modification in business
enterprises. Exchange.

The inventors own description
of the result of his labors is simple
enough to auyone's comprehension
He said:
"The characteristic feature Of
this system of transport is that
each vehicle is capable of main
tanning it's balance upon an ordi
nary rail upon sleepers on the
ground, whether it is standing
still or moving in either direction
at any rate of speed, notwithstand
ing that the center of gravity is
several feet above the rail, and
that wind pressure, shifting OF
load, centrifugal action of any
combination of these forces may
tend to upset it.
AUTOMATIC STABILITY.
''The automatic stability mech
anism of extreme simplicity car
ried by the vehicle itself endows
it with this power. The mechan-
ism consists essentially of two fly
wheels rotated directly by electric
motors in opposite directions at a
very high velocity, and mounted
so that their gyrostatic action and
stored up energy can be utilized.
These fywheels are mounted on
high class bearings, and are plac
ed i'll exhausted cases, so that both
air and journal friction is reduced
to minimum, and consequently
the power required to keep Them
in rapid motion is very small.
"The stored-up energy in the
fywheels, when revolving at full
speed, is so great and the friction
so small that if the driving current
is cut off altogether they will run
at sufficient velocity to impart
stability to the vehicle for several
hours, while it will take from two
to three days before they come to
rest. The stability mechanism oc-
cupies but little space, and is con-
yeniently placed in the cab at one
end of the vehicle. It's weight is
so small, about 5 per cent. of the
total load being considered an am
pie allowance for the first vehicle.
"The road wheels are placed in
a single row beneath the center OF
the vehicles, instead of i'll two
rows near the side, as usual, and
are carried on bogies or compound
bogies, which are not only pivoted
to provide for horizontal curves on
the track, but for vertical ones al
so. By this means, the vehicles
can run upon curves of even less
radius than the length of the We
hicle itself, or ON crooked rail laid
over uneven ground without dan
ger or derailment.
