nlood and Morality.

A note OF hope for children born Of
vicious parents and amid degrading
Influences is sounded by William B.
Streeter OF the Children's Home So
ciety Of Greensboro. NoIeN Carolina.
From his experience. he concludes
that although the proverb. Blood win
tell" is probably founded on fact. as
far as mental aud physical qualities
are concerned, those things depending
on physiological causes. the same is
not true OF moral tendencies. On the
contrary. he believes that the "hered.
ity of environment" rather than the
"heredity Of blood" determines the
moral character. this conclusion being
warranted by many observations Of
the moral qualities marking persons
who, having been rescued from vicious
parents at an early age, have been
brought up amid pure and wholesome
surroundings and influences.

The os,rloh IN Africa.

The French government in western
Africa has undertaken to organize the
breeding Of ostriches in the territory
under its control. Ostrichss are found
wild in many parts Of western Africa.
Along the river Niger they avoid the
neighborheod of man, but on some of
the Islands In that and other rivers
the natives have established rude
ostrich-farms. Doctor Decorse, who
was appointed by the government to
study the subject. says that the meth
DDS OF the ostrich-farmers of the Cape
cannot be fully carried out in the
French territory. 1t will be necessary
to leave the ostriches in a partially
nomadic state. They migrate more
or less with the seasons. When II
becomes too dry in the south they go
northYard.

Authorities at the Davis infirmary stated last night that although there is every hope of the complete recovery of J. O.. Thompson, who was severely injured in an automobile accident several weeks ago, yet MT. Thompson has not recovered as rapidly as was at first expected. The hos pital authorities said last night that MT. Thompson was not able to walk yet. He has been at the hospital for over three months. MT. Thompson was hurt in the latter part of February, when he at tempted to catch train for Washington in an automobile running at top speed to the Terminal station. The car swerved from the street and struck a telephone pole. throwing the occupants to the ground and very severely injuring MT. Thompson.

It contains 420O trees in miniature miniature houses, street car lines, parks churches, stores, municipal building pup lie library, public baths and everything that inc model city of Corey will have. The land on the model lies toposraphl- cally just as the land of the city does and the person looking at the modei sees Corey as Corey would appear from an alrship.
 In addition there is in the window nicture of the American Steel and wire co,upany's plant and likewise beautiful water color by Gregg. the famous land scape artist of Boston. This water color is work of art and represents an out lay of over $1OO0. ,-

HIGDON POINTS TO
 HIS BIG MEAT BILL

The high cost of living was exem- plfied at the sheriffs office yesterday in the payment of a bill of $532 for meats alone for the feeding of the prisoners in the county Jail.
 That shows how the cost of living Is Jumping skyward." said the sheriff "The meat bill used to average only $200 per month with nearly 300 pris- oners, now 1t Is $532 with only an average of 15o prisoners. When you take into consideration the fact tn at get no exercise beyond the moving about in the corridors of the cell rooms, which will not allow of their eating a great quantity of meat, it will be seen that this bill is enormously high.
 Bills for other eatables will amount to much more than this, so that it can be readily seen that the 80 cents a day allowed for the feeding of pris- orers Is hardly paying the bills. A few years ago when things were req sonable there was money in feeding prisoners at 30 cents day. A splen- did repast could be furnished them and profit be cleared. At present the in mates of the county jail are being fed better than they ever were.
 MT. McAdory is going to have his hands full when he assumes this of- flee on January Is. At present it is taking a great amount of figuring to make matters even up and we have had good experience"
