at once testify to the practical inter
est shown in the institution and to its
efficient management.
A very hopeful item in the account
OF receipts for the year lies In the fact
that $2,544 was contributed in small
sums by negroes and one legacy Of
$4,000 was left to the institute by
Mrs. Ann Maria Fisher OF Brooklyn.

The high mortality rate among ne.
groes rom communicable and pre-
ventable diseases was held up as
grave menace to the general health OF
the south by speakers at the conven-
tion OF the Southern Medical associa-
ticn at Lexington, Ky. Three thou
sand physicians, representing sixteen
southern states. are In attendance
q Statistics we're given to show that
typhoid fever, malaria. measles. scar
let fever. whooping cough, diphther;a,
tuberculosis, and pneumonia are re-
sponsible for more than 10 per cent
OF all deaths among negroes. These
same diseases also are responsible for
more than 20 per cent OF deaths among
the whites. The high mortality rate
among the whites was pointed out as
directly traceable to the prevalence Of
these diseases among the negroes.
The necessity for raising health
standards especially among the ne
groes and of inaugurating a campaign
OF prevention was urged by the speak
ers. 1t was pointed out that negro
citizens live under the worst sanitary
conditions through poverty, racial In
feriority. and neglect. But they min
gle with the white population in the
stores. factories, kitchens, and nurser-
les. and so spread the diseases which
are prevalent among them.
The health of the negro, therefore.
was declared to be the most important
subject before the south today. The
burden OF this problem, 1t was said,
devolves on public officials. santa
rians and sociologists. Accurate OBJ
servation Of living conditions and ex-
perimental methods were urged. The
speakers declared no field Is SO barren
OF sanitary achievement as the better
ing of the health and conditions OF the
negro. and that none Is more worthy
OF painstaking effort, presenting as It
does the promise OF far reaching re-
suits of the utmost Importance to the
southern states.

Twenty-Five years ago Jonas w.
Thomas, a negro OF Marlborough coun-
ty, s. c., began his career as a farmer
by buying an old horse for $40.75. and
by renting 80 acres Of South Carolina
land for 1.40O pounds OF lint cotton.
After four years OF hard work and
close saving he was able to buy mule
for 500 and also 81 acres OF land.
Then he began renting and working
farms which belonged to other men.
Gradually he was able to buy the land
he had been renting. He also found 1t
worth his while to open commits
sary.
Now Thomas lives in broom
house and employs on his 100000
plantation 80 families, consisting OF
1s9 men. women and children. He

cotton, corn and some garden truck.
and raises his own horses, mules.
cows and hogs. He has received as
much as S3l 900 for his cotton crop
alone-400 bales Of long staple. On
an average he has saved $4,000 year
for % years. All that he now has on
the farm is his own, directly and in

pride, In a single year he has bor-
rowed of one local bank and repaid
$4,000. Good credit" SO Thomas

There Is a campaign on In New
York for the purpose Of raising $4,-
100000 for the local branches Of the
Young Mems Christian association and
the Young Women's Christian associa-
tion. The work is progressing splen-
didly. the enormous sum OF $2,663.0l1
having been raised in the first ten
days. 1t is evident, therefore, that
the money desired will be forthcom-
ing.
The campaign has been popular
one, and although a great many con-
tributions OF large sums have been
received. there have been thousands
from people OF moderate and even
scanty means. This shows the wide
spread interest which is taken in the
movement by the people generally.

BURMESE SUPERSTITION.

A curious idea among the Bur
nese is that people born on the same
Jay Of the week must not marry,
and that if they defy the fates their
anion will be marked by much ILL
luck. To prevent these disastrous
marriages, every girl carries q record
sf her birthday in her name, each
day Of the week having . letter be-
ongihg to it, and all children arc

that letter. It is rather hard if the

work here in connection with the

no official statement of the causes
contributing to the failure has yet

that the chief causes are crop fail

on notes as they came due, and
owing to these conditions, refusal
of eastern hanks to extend further

loans and discounts amount to
$40, 900, and the deposits, times and
subject to check, $4,000. A loss
of over twenty per cent in collec-
