The Diaz government one of his
tory making.
Was it not in Constantinople,
long ago, that the grand vizier
formed his Judgment of the pop
ularity of the government
measures by counting up how
many bakers had been assassi-
mated over night?
By some means tn eattitude of
a 0ople toward their govern
menu must express itself. A
small insurrectio min Mexico
calls attention to the exceeding
rarity, in later years, of such
events in a country where they
were once staple occurrence
published in set form, like the
base ball scores and receipts of
wheat at Chicago. That Diaz's
thirty-year rule-albeit not pat
termed to our taste-is satisfac-
tory to the body of his subjects
seems a fair conclusion.
In government revenue and
foreign trade Mexico now ranks
with Sweden. Her foreign trade
is twothirds that Of Spain. She
has more miles of railway and
telegraph than Italy.
This important Industrial po-
sition is almost altogether a Gre
alton of Diaz's government.
Under his beneficent regime our
merchandise trade with Mexico
has increased eleven fold.
The United States trade with
Mexico is as great as with China
and Japan combined; sixty per
cent as great as with Canada |;
very nearly as great as with
France; five times as great as
with Sptin. Excepting England,
Germany and France there is no
European country with which

The FayOritiSm Of the
Government.

"They will tell you that banks
discriminate in favor of the gov
eminent; that the government
exacts security for its deposits,
and that it should see that every
diwow and orphan has as good
security as it has. This is all
buncombe; you could rake Texas
with a fine-tooth comb and you
could not find a widow, orphan
or anybody else that would be
fool enough to permit us to dis
criminate in their favor the same
as we do for the government.
Suppose a man walked into your
bank and said: Here is $4,000
/ want to deposit, but want you
to buy government bonds with it
and hand me the bonds to hold
as security for my deposit, which
will remain indefinitely, and you
can have the interest on the
bonds" Wouldn't you have
some doubt about the fellows
sanity? Because if he had a
thimbleful of sense it would oc-
cur to him that if he is to furnish
the money to buy the bonds and
be the custodian Of the bonds he
might as we'll buy them himself
and draw the interest himself"
The above is not the idle talk
of a non-thinking man, illiterate
and inconsiderate, nor is it the
mouthings of a blatant dema-
gogue to array class against
class and catch the votes of the
unwary and unthoughtful.
This is the utterance of a
level-headed, successful banker,
Mr.. Pondrom of Texarkana,
Texts, and was made in an adj
dress before the last meeting of
the Texas Bankers Association
at Fort Worth. More than this,
it was made deliberately-even
written down in his address, and
no one in all that convention
rose up to deny the statement.
1t used to be that when
farmer or laborer challenged the
right Of the government to sim
gle out a class of non-producers
and actually pay them interest
to use the governments credit
for the purpose of issuing money
to loan to the people for more
interest-we say that once when
this right was challenged onr
bankers, our congressman and
our political orators all chimed
in to show us the beneficence of
this great ssytem. Now, the
plain, unvarnished truth is adj
mitted by a gentleman in the
banking business, whose sanity
is not questioned and whose bus
iness success is well known.
Let us repeat his summing up

Ostriches $500 a Pair.

The ostrich business in the United
States is fairly prosperous, especially in
the Salt River Valley, Arizona, where
1900 of the 2,2OO in the country are
owned.
This is new line Of industry for Amer
leans and there is much to be learned.
We have thus far produced such fancy
birds as have some of the most expert
enced breeders in South Africa, but the
size of the bird seems to be increasing,
and the health OF the birds is all that could
be desired.
So far serious ostrich diseases have not
troubled the American raiSerS; even the
so-called barring of the feathers has not
been observed. OstricheS need hot
dry climate, such as is found in the South
west. The rainy portion OF The South is
far less desirable, although this is some
times mentioned as suitable for ostrich
raising.
Alfalfa pasture is also essential; an acre
OF alfalfa will carry four oStricheS and,
which is OF far more importance, will
keep them in good health. Our American
ostriches are now worth $500 pair al
four years OF age. No one should imag-
inc that ostrich farming is get rich
quick scheme, for the birds are not ready
for mating until they become four years

A Practical Philosopher.

The well-grounded fondness. Of the ne
gro for opoSSum meat furnishes a COM
mon ground on which all members OF
the race-and not a few white men
as well l. can meet.
Accordingly it is probable that the dis
cuSsion which the three colored men fell
into, in story attributed by the New York
Times to Governor Glenn OF North Caro-
lima, was brought to an amicable conclu-
sion by the statement of the last speaker
position.
Deacon Jackson stated that in his opin-
ion the country was going TO the dogs,
therefore he was accused of being pes
simSt.
Elder Hightower combated this view,
seeing that the panic was about over and
the price of cotton was on the rise. He
declared himself firm optimist
When Deacon Powell was called on for
his opinion, he scratched his head reflec-
lively for a moment and said:

nights. Such an article as winter Gard

A Good Nights Rest.

Rev. Daniel lSaacS once alighted at an
inn to stay all night. On asking for a
bed he was told he could not have one,
as there was to be ball that evening
and all the beds were engaged.
"At what time does the ball break up?"
asked Mr. lsaacS.
"About three in the morning"
"Well, then, can have a bed until
that time ?"
ayes, but if the bed is asked for you
will have to remove"
About three O'Clock he was awakened
by loud knocking.
"What do you want ?" he asked.
Chow many of you are in there ?" in
quired voice.
"There's me, and Daniel and Mr..
Isaacs and an old Methodist preacher, "
was the reply.
"Then there's plenty OF you in there.
And the speaker passed on, leaving Mr.
Isaacs to enjoy his bed.

A young couple entered railway car
rage and were Immediately put down as a
bridal pair But they were remarkably
selfpossessed, and behaved with such
sangfroid that the other passengers began
to doubt.
AS the train moved cut the young man
rose to take off his overcoat, and show

ed broadly.
But even that did not affect the youth,
who also smiled, and turning to his part

when it was announced that Alb indict-
mentS had been returned. Of the whole
number of indictments 800 were for SELL

were felonies. Not only were the soft

but out in the country districts there are
several bootleggers who have indictments

Peliagra.

The serious outbreak OF pellagra in
North Carolina following the appearance
of the disease of epidemic form in three
counties of Alabama points to the need OF
energetic preventive measures if the mys-
ferrous malady is not to gain a permanent
foothold.
Pellagra is aScribed to the use OF mouldY
corn for food. II has ravaged Italy and
other parts of Latin Europe for century.
What seems 10 have been the first case
noted in this country was treated at a
New York hospital in 1888. If vegeta-
BILE poision in the form of corn mould is
its cause, not the least mysterious aspect
of the disease is the immunity heretofore
enjoyed by American consumers OF the
cereal previous to its sudden manifesto
tons within recent years not only in the
South, where hominy and corn bread are
more largely staple of diet than at the
North, but also in Illinois, where 80 ca
ses were treated at the State hospital dur
ing August last. But as against the gen.
eral weight ofmedical opinion that mouldy
corn is the source of pellagra, patient in
Atlanta. afflicted with the disease was
stated moi TO have used corn in any form.
II is at least singular that its outbreak in
this country should be coincident with the
greater general attention now paid to the
purity OF food.
The occasion for concerns that viru-
lent and little understood disease, char
acterized by eruptions and emaciation and
tending to insanity OF violent kind,
should have found Judgement here. II
has already engaged the attention OF the
agricultural department and independent
investigators, among them the superinten-
dent OF the South Carolina insane asylum
having begun a close study OF the pathol-
gy of the disease in the countries OF Eu-
rope which are subject to its ravages.-
Its present rate OF increase in the United
States calls for more effective measures
than have yet been taken to check its
progress.

Muscular Rheumatism.

Many physicians think that the sore
ness and aching in the muscles which are
usually called muscular rheumatism are
not rheumatism at all, but neuralgia. For
this reason they prefer to call the affec-
ton by its other name, myalgia, which
means nothing more than muscular pain.
II probably belongs. nevertheless, to the
indefinite group OF diseases called rheu-
matte, for il occurs frequently in persons
who have other rheumatic or equity
troubles, or in whose family these atrec-
tions prevail; and il is excited by the
same things exposure to cold and damp,
for example; overfatigue, indiscretions
in eating or drinking that are believed
TO bring on an attack of rheumatism in the
joints.
ANY or all the muscles may be the seat
of myalgia, but those most commonly al
fected are those in the neck, OF the Shout
der and of the loins. In children, ii often
takes the form Of stiff neck, while in per
SONS of middle life the muscles OF the
loins are not infrequently attacked, con-
stituting what is known and dreaded by
those who have had previous attacks, as
lumbago.
When the chest muscles are Affected
or the sufferer has ga stitch in the side,
or pleurodynia-the pain may be so acute
as to simulate pneumonia or pleuriSy.
The chief symptom of muscular rheu-
matism is pain in the muscles affected,
not usually so severe when the parts are
at rest, but sometimes excruciating on at
tempted motion. A light touch may be
painful while deep and firm pressure gives
relief.
The acute attack usually begins sudden
ly, and the pain usually attains its full Sc
verify at the beginning, growing gradually
Jess in the course of two or three days or
a week.
In the chronic form there is almost al
ways some soreness and aching in the
affected muscles-worse in raw, damp
weather.
The internal treatment is the same as
for rheumatism OF the joints-which is
another argument in favor of the belief
that the two forms are essentially the
same and due 10 the same cause.
The pain may be relieved by dry heat
the oldfashioned treatment of lumbago by
ironing the back is good, although hot
water bag or hot brick will do just as
well, without the disturbance that the
movement of the iron causes.
Perfect rest is essential, and this may
be secured by bandaging the affected
part Snugly.

Miss Pearl Davis, daughter of Capt.
William B. Davis, of Urbanna, Va, was
taken to a Baltimore hospital suffering
with a severe swelling of the ankle, due
to the bite OF an insect. She grew worse
and amputation at the knee was found
necessary. She does not know what it
was that bit her.
