AN ENGINEERING TEST.

The civil engineer who has exeit-
ed more or less fippant comment by
stating that the roosting Of birds on
a bridge is a good test of the secur-
ity Of the structure ventures to re-
peat his proposition, and he quotes
such distinguished naturalists as
Darwin and Audubon in support of
his contention. Elephants cannot
be driven over a weak viaduct, bur-
ros refuse to take a dangerous trail
and rats are the first to desert a
leaking ship. "Call it all an absurd
superstition if You WILL" says the
engineer, the fact remains that
some things have their influence on
poor, frail humanity that cannot be
supported by logarithmic computa-
ton. Boston Herald.

FIRST ON THE GROUND.

A terrible fire had just broken
out, Frightful explosions shook the
city. The red wings of the fire
demon tapped across the heavens.
The instant the first alarm was
sounded a heavy wagon drawn by
three splendid horses whirled down
the main street and sped toward the
fire.
A stranger turned to the man at
his side.

asked.

WHAT HE MEANT.

An old sea captain was visiting
a certain exhibition, and was greatly
interested in the mechanical section,
where a fine array Of steam whistles
was on show. "How far can that

useless, if the children who are
kept out of field, mine, factory or
mill are not sent to school instead.
The old proverb that "Satan finds
some mischief still for the idle
hands to do" seems to apply with
peculiar force to children. Take
the children out of field mine, mill
or factory, but send them to school.
Do not, for their own sakes, for the
sake of the State whose citizens
they will one day be, turn them
lose idle upon the streets or high
ways. For the child growing up
in idleness, learning the lessons
that are impressed upon it's un-
tanned nature, is very sure to de-
velop, as he grows older, into
vagrant and vagabond.
Thoughtful men and women in
Tennessee and the South have long
regretted the appalling amount of
illiteracy that exists in this section
of our country. But they recog-
nize the reason for this extremely
unfortunate state of affairs. The
school funds in the South are not
as large as in other more fortunate
sections of the country. A system
of compulsory education would
call for largely increased funds.
Lack of money to provide an edu-
cation for all the children of the
State, both white and black, has
prevented, in many instances, the
passage of compulsory education
law. But it is an inevitable step
in the march of progress and is
sure to come, sooner or later.
With the DEGREES of Providence
in the matter of the color of the
children's hair, the General AS
sembly can not interfere, if it
would. With the ignorance and
the selfshness of men in denying
to their children the inestimable
privilege of an education, it can
interfere, and it should avail itself
of it's right to do so, as soon as it
feasible.
If men will not do right except
upon compulsion, then use com
pulsion. Defend the rights and
liberty of the weak from the in.
justice and tyranny of the strong
Protect the children, they can not
protect themselves.

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness if
caused by an infamed condition os
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an

AT LAST.
Nashville Tennessean.
God at last has answered the
prayers of His people.

prayers of His people.
This has been a notable fight in
the history of Tennessee. The
battle has sheen long and hard, fierce
and fast and furious. When it be-
gan the enemy was intrenched
behind double-ditched fortresses.
They had the law on their side;
they had the administration forces
on their side; they bad an unscru-
pulous, conscienceless, brazen,
brutal machine on their side; they
had the money to burn-and they
burnt it. They seemed to be in
vincible.
The bravest Knight that ever
championed just cause, chal-
lenged the right of the Liquor
Traffic to live. He went forth with
Truth and j Justice to do battle in a
manly way. They pounced upon
him like pack of ravenous wolves;
they lied about him; they bounded
him; they traduced his name with
vile and malicious ISLANDERS; they
bought and stole votes, packed the
boxes and miscounted the ballots.
They unhorsed him, and left him
PROSTATE on the battlefield and
thought that he was dead.
He rose again; undaunted, un-
conquered, stronger, more majes-
tic, more valiant, greater than he
was before. And when they saw
his strength grow stronger, and
heard his rallying call, and saw the
multitude focking to his standard,
they waylaid and murdered him,
and spilled his hearts blood in
the cutters of the street.
Aud then they said, "full surely
now our cause is ripening."
But the murderous bullet that
pierced the heart of Edward Ward
Carmack, and shocked a nation,
crystalized at the same time the
prohibition sentiment in Tennes-
, see, and sounded the death knell
of the Liquor Traffic. 1t was a
! priceless price, and yet one mans
life is cheapifit it saves ten thousand
souls from a drunkard's hell, and
! ten times ten thousand from ignor-
ance and vice, poverty and rags.
