CARNEGIE ADDS T0 HIS FUND FOR

Widens Scope of Original Philanthropy Which Remches Aged and Worthy Members of Universities
 and Colleges.

New York. April 3.--Announcement was made tonight that Andrew Car negie would add $5.000.0o0 to the Car negie Foundation or whatever sum might be necessary to include as pen sion benefciaries eligible professors of State universities.
 No provision was made for this class of educators in the original gift for Che reason stated by Mir. Carnegie, that the donor thought 1t possible that such Institutions might prefer that their re- lations should continue exclusively with the State from which their chief support was derived.
 The National Association of State Universities in the year following the establishment of the foundation fund petitioned the trustees for admittance to the benefits of the retiring allow ance system. It was then found that the earnings of the original sum, s10, 00O. .000. were exhausted and that if the faculties of all State universities were to be benefited. an additional $5.000. 00o was required. rhe situation was placed formally before Mir. Carnegie on March 31 last, and Mir Carnegie re- piled that the money would be forth coming for any State institution whose application received the approval rot the Governor of its State.
 The additional donation will be In per cent bonds. providing an annual income of quarter million dollars and q total for yearly disbursement of $750, 900.
 The Carnegie Foundation was estab- lished by Mir. Carnegie on April 27 1905. with gift of trust fund of $1O,- OOO,O in first mortgage bonds of the United States Steel Corporation. This fund was placed in the care of the trustees who include the Presidents of the better known universities and col leges.

 Development of the South.
 The commercial development of the South. as distinguished from the pro- duction of agricultural staples, is of that reason all the more remarkable,
 Let me cite few examples. Since 1870 the railways of the South have grown from 12.sOo to e1,soo miles; in other words. they have practically quin tupled in length. while those of the other parts of the United States have only quadrupled. Take the cotton period of time 1t grew from ii.ooo OoO to 1s3. .000, 900.
 "In the same period the value of all manufactures produced in the South has grown from 27s,000.00 to f.52s, 900, 900. nearly double as much in percent age as the rest of the country. In the period from 1900 10 1908, tho mum. ber of national banks. have increased more than 100. per cent, while the deposits in the banking institutions oi | the country as a whoie-have increased | only so per cent. In the State of Geor- gia the growth has been equally grat' ."r1 take a few examples. the value of cotton manufactures from 1870 t | 1905 has grown from three and a hail | millions to thtrty-hve millions, and th.

 Riders.

Lynchburg, Va, April 3.-One of the most destructive fires in this city in twenty years occurred early today when four factories. three of them tobacco plants and four negro dwellings were consumed. with total loss of $225, 900 and insurance of $175.OO0.
 The fire ragged during a twenty-mile wind and the firemen were powerless to cope with the blaze.

A Real Fire Ennine-

In all the varied list of curious causes
Of fires perhaps the most absurd was
the source of confiagration that oc-
CURED in Worcestershire England. In
1902. The Worcester Insurance com
pany decided to change it's fire engine
from a horse drawn vehicle TO one op-
Grated by motor. The work was not
quite completed when the company re-
ceived warning of a fire which had
broken out on farm at nearby Kemp
sey village However, the engine was
in sufficient running order TO be sent
on forthwith under the action of the
newly installed motor.
Unhappily the engines funnel had
not been protected by a spark pro-
tector. As a result the trail of the
snorting mechanism was embellished
with a gorgeous train OF sparks. There

the fire engine met a wagon loaded

ADJUSTMENT.

A great misfortune comes to you.
Like most misfortunes, 1t was unex'
pected.
The unexpected happens in every life.
Because 1t is unforeseen the jolt is a
heavy one. Surprise is mingled with
the suffering. Such things, of course,
have happened to others. But to you
that's different. 1t is monstrous that
1t should be so. And you simply can
not endure this affliction.
And yet in the very hour of your mis-
fortune your soul rises unconsciously
to meet the emergency.
Every hour and every day you con-
tinue to fashion yourself to fit the new
conditions. Little by little you adapt
yourself to the changed situation. The
burden is still on your back, but you
have adjusted the harness. 1t gals
you only occasionally, not continually,
as at first
Merciful faculty!
A great sorrow, a heartbreaking be-
reavement, comes into your life.
The violence Of the blow staggers
you. Passing bells are ringing all the
world over, always, for some sad
mourner but not for you-till now.
You feel you cannot be happy again.
1t is too much to be borne. Life must
henceforth be hateful. The iron has
entered your soul.
And yet
Even while you cry out in your pain
the forces of your being are marshal
ing for resistance and defense.
There comes readjustment that per-
mits you to go on, though it may be
sorrowfully. AS you grow accustomed
to the load it gets lighter. You realize
keenly that you will never be quite the
same as before the shock. You have
been chastened into something a little |
different. But
1t is you!
Through 1t all you have preserved |
he identity of your soul. You have |
been passing under the road and
through the processes of readjustment.
And by and by, 1t may be, you have
,egun to see that even pain and sorrow
AVE their compensations. And grad
tally life again becomes worth the liv-
ng.
As the eye, passing from the sunlight
0 sudden darkness, slowly adapts
tself, so does the soul of man adjust
tself to new and changed conditions.
Is IL not wonderful?
And true?

Exercise or Die.

Every man and woman must do some
muscular work or take equivalent eX-
ercise, else they will die long before
their natural time. And II ones voca-
ton involves the use of only one set of
muscles work must be found for the
other muscles, else the individual be-
comes disproportionate in form and
eventually prey to disease.
A hodcarrier, who is required to use
nearly all his muscles, exerting him
self close to the limit of his strength
for many hours daily, never gives any
thought TO artificial exercise, for he
has no need of any. But the profess
sional man, the clerk, the typist and
the saleswoman-all these find little
real use for the muscles in their daily
employment and they require to take
TO maintain normal health. Then there
are factory operatives and the toilers
In various trades. whose work brings
Into play certain sets OF muscles, while
others are out of use. These require
exercise adapted to giving employment
to the neglected muscles. There is
also class of wealthy people who do
no regular work of any kind, who re-
quire TO follow some strength giving
sport in lieu of work At the opposite
extreme is a class of athletes who
make a business of artificial exercise
and build themselves up into noun
tains Of muscle. These almost invaria-
bly, overdo and in consequence suffer

CURE FOR THE BLUES"
OF the track

The doctors call 1t neurasthenia.
In common parlance we call 1t 1.-THE
blues"
1t is a disease. And the disease can
be diagnosed just like measles or ty-
phoid fever.
The disease, say the physicians, is
caused by nervous worry. 1t is pc
culiarly American because in this
country it finds favorable conditions.
American methods of living induce
overstrain of nerve fiber. Overstrain
brings worry, and worry brings the
blues.
Americans go the limit.
The average business man works to
the verge of his strength during bust
ness hours. which is all right. But he
takes his business home and worries
over it, which is not all right. By
dwelling on difficulties he magnifies
them. He loses sleep and in conse-
Quence loses power 10 overcome. The
cumulative force of the continued
strain brings on a fit of the blues.
Many American women suffer In the
SAINT way.
Household burdens grow heavy.
Nerves are taxed to the finish. The
woman begins to worry. She worries
over the fit Of her dress, over the style
Of her hat, over her children, over her
husband-anybody. anything. affords
occasion for worry and the blues.
And the higher up the woman lives
in the scale OF society the greater the
liability to neurasthenia. Late hours,
the strain Of social requirements, rich
food. the bad air OF theaters and ball
rooms, lack Of exercise. excitement
all these promote the conditions that
bring on the blues.
Some-both women and men-under
the strain OF modern life resort TO slim
ulants to restore strength and temper
Of mind. which only makes matters
worse. Stimulants simply hasten the
day Of nervous breakdown.
