The Georgia legislature happily did not
do several things that 1t threatened To
its positive credit is 10 be placed the
creation OF. a Georgia Day" The 18th
OF February each year will be observed
in the public schools Of the State as the
anniversary Of the landing OF the first
colonists I'm Georgia under Oglethorpe.
The act instructs the State commissioner
Of schools to cooperate with the county
school superintendent in devising cere-
monies calculated TO impress the impor-
lance OF that event upon the minds OF
the children. All Of these exercises will
be designed not only 10 emphasize the
initial arrival OF the colonists, but 20 en-
courage the further study OF the history
Of the State. These local programmes
will include patriotic songs and recita-
tons by the pupils. and addresses fitting
the occasion by prominent citizens. This
recognition OF an anniversary commence
rating the birth OF a Commonwealth Is
due TO the commendable advocacy OF the
Daughters OF the American Revolution.
Attention has been called repeatedly
Of late to the Increasing number Of holi-
DAYS in the United States, some OF them
only OF State observance. The tendency
has been criticised as not in accord with
the aim Of practical utility. That criti-
cism may or may not hold good, accord
Ing to the dignity of purpose in the hol-
lday and the method OF its observance.
But IL may be noted that the Oglethorpe
anniversary in Georgia is not a holiday
In the sense Of mere merrymaking. how
ever wholesome a form that may assume.
Rather Is it day OF sound instruction
In history. conveying lessons Of cour-
ageous enterprise. and valid reasons for
lifelong pride in the spirit and traditions
OF the child's native State. The exer-
cises are break IN the routine OF school
work. but they are made a part Of the
general process of education. This plan
in Georgia merits imitation Every
Commonwealth n the Union has some
day that marks an initial point in its
history, and whose significance can be
impressed upon its receptive youth.
Moreover. the Observance Of such days
will not be without benefit to the elders.

When a famous Nimrod goes from the

wide interest IS aroused among millions
OF people by stories Of the attacks made,
now and then. upon human victims by
predatory creatures OF the forests and tho
plains. For grown-ups. as well as boys
and girls. there is a peculiar thrill IN tales
OF the stalking OF men and women by
great cats. IN some degree il may be an
instructive fear OF carnivorous beasts

ages when in Europe. as well as Africa
and Asia. man had 10 fight for his life
against his many foes OF the wilderness.
Even now the wild creatures OF the Jun
giles. the mountains, and the plains take
a considerable toll OF human life. At least
5000 people perish every year in India
from the bites OF snakes and the teeth
and claws OF tigers. leOpards. wolves. and
other beasts OF prey. That means about
four times the total mortality in Cleve-
land. II complete records could be made

over 600 native laborers were killed and
eaten by lions. Not many years ago
wolves killed about 200 persons annually

But the great bulk Of this formidable
mortality is made up Of victims OF snakes.
The silent destroyers that crawl on the
ground slay at least FIVE times as many
human beings as are killed by Hons,
tigers, leopards, wolves. and other Ike
foes. The small. still enemies OF man are
by far the most formidable. and the less
their size the more terrible the havoc
they cause. There IS no room for doubt
that lies kill a much greater number OF
human beings than all Of the beasts Of
prey. with all OF the poisonous sorpents
added. They spread diseases which slay
their hundreds. while huge and powerful
brutes kill single victims.
In like manner, the warfare which flies

GIorious Pumpkin BE.

Towns and cities in these days of
wholesome rivalry for trade and popuIa-
ton seek to advertise themselves. The
town Of Longmont. in far Colorado. has
hit upon a plan at once poetical. prac-
teal gustatory. and aesthetic. 1t has
chosen the pie as the luscious medium OF
heralding abroad its present attractions
and future greatness. The Longmont pie
is not the pastry Of the factory. It is the
homemade product such as mother used

The next time he may not be so fortu-

AN UNSUCCESSFUL OPERATION.

From the New YORK Evening Post
We can hardly believe that the verdict

against physician OF that city because
he sewed up In patient a roll Of gauze.

intelligent persons will. we arc sure. feel
that 20 proceed against this cherished
practice OF some OF Our most distin-
guished surgeons will be an undue inter-
ference with their liberty and their pur-
suit Of happiness, and. therefore. quite
unconstitutional And what would be-
come OF the newspapers Il they could not
record from time TO time that the great
surgeon B., or the wonderful operator
c, had carefully sewed UP an unsterilized
instrument or thirty-six inches OF gauze
in the place OF a recently removed ap-
pendix? We are the more concerned be
cause this IS the second verdict OF the
same kind which We have noticed during
the last few weeks Now we submit
that physicians are but as human as the
rest OF US. and that 10 require general
infallioility while operating is a little bit
more than the medical profession can
be expected TO endure in silence. We
hope TO hear that the New York County
Medical Association and other prominent
surgical bodies will shortly meet TO re-
solve that trial by jury should be abOl-

cost the right 70 sew I'D in a patient
