MOBILE AS A WARNING.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 The Charleston (S O News and Cou- rier, with mingled tone of pity and rid icule, thus takes note of the situation in which fanatical puritanism has left Noble It says:
 Mobile is very like New Orleans. It is a continental city in its customs It has adopted the Roman Catholic idea of Sunday observance, and is no believer in blue laws of any kind. However, de- spite this, Mobile announces that every effort will be made to conform to the new Alabama prohibition law. which is so drastic that 1t could not be broken with a pile driver.
 But Mobile makes a mournful plea to the legislature. As the Mobile Register says: It turns the other cheek to the legislature, but asks that it be not smit- ten It is declared that the Sundays are long, that the climate is such that in doors becomes what the French style ennuyant Poor, chastened Mobile wants Sunday baseball, and beads good be- havior as a reason for the favor.
 We are sorry for Mobile. Time was when it was joyous cty In carnival season the king came to his own. Amid the footing of the whistles and the boom- ing Of the guns, they drank his health, and all went merry as a wedding bell In New Years Eve the gladstone youth went joyously the rounds, and drank the health of gentle damsels and grand danes. It was a pleasant city, and heartily laughed the devil as he padded about in the nearby swamps and took note of the proceedings.
 "All this is gone Silent will be the car nival and dreary the arrival of the king. Wit will be on holiday and laughter in New Orleans and Pensacola. And yet, in return for all taken from her. Mobile asks for baseball. She will not get it. Certainly not. She ought to be glad to just exist. They do not want cities in Alabama. If they will grow there they must learn that it is just as possible to have quiet in Mobile as it is

Plan To Aid Good Roads.

New Orleans, August 16.-Marked op- position to the plan to sell the Louisiana convict plantations and use the convicts in the good roads movement, recently in augurated, has been manifested in letters received by the prison reform asSocia- tons and state officials. Those who op- pose the plan say that in maintaining the plantations the state is dealing with its convicts in a most humane as well as profitable way Several large cotton and sugar plantations worked with convict labor have been the source of much reve- nue to the state for a number of years. The plan to put the convicts to work on the roads has so far only taken tentative form

BOUND IN HUMAN SKIN.

fOHi 1il Dltb.
 Some books are valued more for their binding then for their contents. Mir Cyril Davenport in his new book. "The Book; It's History and Development says that books bound in human skin are by no means unknown.
 ''It is said that a friend of Camille Fqammarion. the French writer, possessed beautiful shoulders, and that when she died she bequeathed her skin to him, as he had always admired 1t. He had the skin tanned and used some of it for binding of one of his own books, 'Ciel ct Terre' There are other examples in private ownership, but, so far as public libraries are concerned, the only instance I know is now in the Carnavalet library at Paris. It is a copy of the constitution of 1793, and is bound in the skin of one of the revolutionaries who was killed at the time. The skin was tanned at Meu- don"
 Human skin undyed, MT. Davenport says, looks like thick calf, and it is most difficult to get entirely rid of the hair,

in Squeedunk. So has 1t been written in the law
 The reformers have sworn that they will never rest until they make the entire south as dry as a powder magazine, and, although they have not said 1t, they will make 1t if they succeed quite as explosive. Fanatical reform always takes on a re- ligious complexion. and it would not be surprising if they should seek to trans form the entire south into a perpetual Sunday school.
 So far as Charleston is concerned, it is as much in danger of being reformed as was Mobile. These are revolutionary times, and revolutions threaten to plunge every country into sea of trouble.
