Solving the Boil WeeYll Problem

The Louisiana state crop pest com mission had never indorsed prevent i've of boil weevils until it issued last Saturday bulletin declaring that pow dered arsenate of lead would solve the problem. State Entomologist Newell of Louisiana says that two applications of the preparation will kill or drive away all the weevils in field.
 This safeguard against the ravages of the Mexican pests comes to us in- dorsed by the officers of a sovereign state, and it also comes to us in the nick otime, for the weevils have en- tered the state of Mississippi with their eyes set on the fields of Alabama The Black Belt counties of this state should at any rate rejoice over the dis coyery of an efficient antidote. They would be justified in holding jubilee meeting, always provided the find" is fully vindicated in the experiences of the season. There are plenty of wee wills in Louisiana at present to try it on, and no doubt it's efficacy will be fully tested.
 The cost of powdered arsenate of lead is probably just about the cost of an equal amount of Paris Green, and the cost of the latter is not prohibitive. As it comes in powdered form no harm would be apt to be done by it to the plants, while it would give the insects a diet they had not ordered and have never hankered for.

0ne-Half Outside the Schools

Including Avondale and East Bir- mingham, now parts of Birmingham, there are 18,115 children of school age in this city, and the public schools will not accommodate over one-half of that number. About 5000 of our children must grow up in Russian ignorance simply because we lack buildings in which to seat them and teachers to see that they get on intimate terms with reading, writing and arithmetic. In the making of useful citizens it is not necessary to teach the neglected 5000 the literature of Greece and Rome, but 1t is better, far better, to teach them to read and write the mother tongue.
 Until we do this let us not claim that this is a progressive, up-to-date city, for it is not. It is out of line and gear with the advances in civic wisdom in this century.
 And after all, is it righH to educate p0OO children at public expense and 10

NEW CAUSE FOR DIVORCE

the plaintiff in all such litigation is either abundantly blessed with the coin of the realm or else has snatched a generous measure of fame from fate when that capricious lady wasn't looking, or when she was careless through benign indiffer- enee.
 If psychic cruelty makes good in law, we predict it will become more or less of fad for the moment. We have no doubt the smart set' at Newport and other swell points will take it up and play 1t to a finish. It sounds ex- pensive and aesthetic; quite out of the reach of the common herd. It may, in- deed, become even as fashionable as ap- pendicitis once was-before 1t grew to be such an everyday ailment.
 Some day, of course, the more serious minded element of society in this repub- lie hope to see such pleas as psychic cruelty" relegated to the trash box, where many hard-headed ones believe it belongs now. There will yet come a time so the optimists aver, when mar- riage ties will be forged to bind se- curely-even among actors and the smart set' of Newport and other like com munities. Just now, however, psychic cruelty'' is more than likely to prove a winner. We are viewing the matter of loosening the bonds of wedlock from strangely wabbly standpoints these daysi

BIockading Sidewalks.

If the city ordinance against the block ading of sidewalks is intended for the purpose of keeping the sidewalks free and open it seems to me that it should apply to all cases, except where excep- tions are made by the mayor" said a citizen yesterday.
 "I recall recent case where the mayor had dispersed a crowd of people who had gathered around a socialist speaker on one of the downtown streets and the speaker was arrested for causing the sidewalk to be blocked
 "At two places downtown free moving pictures are shown every night in con- nection with an advertising scheme was passing the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street Saturday night with two ladies and 1t was all I could do to wedge myself, with the two ladies, through the crowd assembled on the cor ner
 ''The attraction was the moving pie ture on the top of a building on the opposite side of the street The crowd which had congregated was very object ionable. This thing goes on every night.
 Tt seems to me the city authorities ought either to make the crowd stand in the street instead of the sidewalk, or else see that it does not congregate. At times during the night the sidewalk on Twentieth street near Third avenue is almost impossible, and the matter Is one that needs attention.

THE AUTO AND THE SMELL.

From the New York World.
 The action of the park board in bar ring ill-smelling automobiles from park drives would seem a hardship until one understands what is involved. Most ma chimes smell badly enough and exhaust clouds of vapor into the already bad city air. But they should not do so There is no need of any smoke about an automobile, and one that is properly operated gives off but slight odor.
 Smoke from an automobile is due to two causes. If the gasoline vapor Is not properly combined with air through the operation of the carbureter a black smoke comes from the exhaust tube. White smoke is caused by too much lub- ricant in the cylinders. Often the smoke is due to a combination of poor mixture and too much oil.
 Under the new rule chauffeur will have to give his engine little extra care. He will see that the oil leads carry no more fluid than the engine can use, which will save money for the owner in lubri- so that 1t will admit a proper mixture to the engine. This, besides saving gaso- line. gives the motor higher efficiency.
 The smell from an automobile is due to carelessness or incompetence; and if the new rule lowers the percentage of both 1t will have been a vast benefit. The fining of chauffeur yesterday will soon lead to decision through test case lti- gation whether a law which is enforced in London is too good for New York.

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.
New York World.

From the New fork Wofld.
 As it stands, the Maine law is a product of 1858. It had a predecessor of 1S46, repealed in 1856. Of this statute Holman Day, himself a Maine man, writes in the current Appletons that Tt has never been actively. honestly, consistently and strongly enforced" The reason for thls is chiefly, as judges told MT. Day. that the reformers in their zeal "have over reached themselves by making the law too savage. Such laws, obnoxious to public sentiment, cannot be enforced"
 This Maine law has been constantly a tool of the politicians. Both great parties in the state have played with it for years. This year the democratic platform frank ly demands the resubmission to vote of the prohibition clause in the constitu- tion and the dry party is not sure of the result in case this demand Is granted.
 The failure to enforce the law in Maine adds to the evidence of ages on the in- efficiency of intolerant sumptuary legis- lation. But there Is also a health side to the matter Good liquor cannot be sold commonly in Maine, naturally, as it may be seized or spilled at any moment. MT. Day describes drink made up of alcohol, tobacco steepings and stupefy- ing drugs. Many victims of this stuff have died after being arrested for intox- ication, and men apparently crazed by the compound have hung themselves in their cells"
 "Does Prohibition Pay?" is the title of Mir Days paper. Has Maine proved that 1t does?

From Tit Bits.
 The human family living on earth to-. day consists of about 1,45O, ooO,OOo souls not fewer, probably more These are distributed literally all over the earths surface, there being no considerable spot on the globe where man has not found a foothold. In Asia, the so-called "cradle of the human race" there are now about sO0,OOO,O00 people, densely crowded, or an average of about 12O to every square mile.
 In Europe there are 320, ,00O, GOO, averag- ing 100 to the square mile not so crowded as Asia but everywhere dense, and in many places overpopulated. In Africa there are, approximately 210.0O0 900; and in the Americas-North, South and Central 11OOoo,ooo, these latter. of course, rela- lively thinly scattered over broad areas. On the islands, large and small, there are probably 10000,00O more. The extremes of the blacks and the whites are as five to three. the remaining 7O0,0oO,Ooo inter- mediate, brown, yellow and tawny in color
 Of the entire race 5O0,000,0OO are we'll clothed-that is, they wear garments of some kind that will cover nakedness- 250,000,0O0 habitually go naked and 7OO,- 100000 only cover the middle parts of the body 5o0.OO0.0o0 live in houses. 7OO,- 0Oo,Ooo in huts and caves, the remaining 250 100000 virtually having no place to lay their heads.

 Superstition had much to do last night with preventing the escape of a murderer after he had killed anoth CT man-with jealousy on account of i. woman as the motive-during a quarrel In the house at 1010 Taylor alley.
 Just as Henry Adams had left his enemy, Grant Royce, lying lifeless Ia the hallway and was preparing to es- cape, all the street lights in the neigh borhood suddenly were extinguished because of some trouble at the electric light plant and the dogs in the alley set up mournful and forlorn bowling. Every colored man, woman and child in the street took cover like rabbits to their warrens, closed and barred tn doors, and put out their lights, think. ing some terrible calamity was befalI. ing that part of the city. All this so unnerved Adams that he remained at the side of his fallen foe and was an easy capture for the police, who ar rived few moments later

Mir. GambIll'S Request

Mr. Gambills withdrawal from the board race for an alderman to fill the seat vacated by MT. Eggleston, and his desire for a primary in the Third ward are alike creditable to him. These de- nominations evince his patriotism and his clearheadedness He sees his duty to his neighbors and does it.
 The Board of Aldermen are to meet this afternoon, and The Age-Herald feels sure they will forego their legal privileges in order to enable the peo- pie of the Third ward to have rep resentative in the council of their own choosing The primary plan is deeply rooted in Alabama. It took root here early, and every year adds breadth and strength to its application. President Parker deserves commendation for his prompt action in converting today at noon the Board of Aldermen. Let us hope the board will adhere to Ameri- can principles, thus taking away all occasion for a mass meeting tonight or any other night in connection with the vacant Third ward seat.

LOOK AT HER TEETH.

From the New York Press
 Young man, before you marry, talks particular notice of the teeth of your intended wife. Aunt Peggy tells ms just now that the organs of mastica- tion are certain indications of a wife inclination to roam or not to roam.
 "If you want a home body" says the aged high priestess. marry girl whose teeth grow close together If the teeth are distinctly separated, your wife will go gadding about all the time. She may love her home, but sh won't stay there. She will want to bs travelling. The greater the distance between the.teeth the greater her in- clination to wander abroad"
 Now all ye who are blessed --. wives: Greeting! Look at their teeth. In their position you may find an ex- planation of sundry habits of your bet ter seven eighths, something you have been vainly guessing at these-lo, these many years

A SONG FOR AUGUST.

By T. A. Daly in Catholic Standard and Times. There's a death-damp in the dawn And a fever in the noon; Summers tender bloom is gone
 And her soul will follow soon. Yet the leaves upon her trees
 And her nodding flowers fling Benedictions down the breeze
 As they sing q Morituri salutamus,
 But we shall die fin vain, We shall fill your dreams with beauty Till the summer comes again.. There are voices in the night
 And the calm stars overhead Are like tapers set a-light
 Tn the chamber of the dead. And the mourning katydid
 Sits and beats it's strdent wings In it's leafy covert hid,
 And it sings " 'Morituri salntamus,'
 But we sha}2~die in vain. We shall fill your dreams with beautv Till the summer comes againl"
