IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Birn,inel.nr,,s Prosperity

We start July with good business
conditions and bright outlook" said
Robert Jemison. Jr
we all recall last summers business
prosperity and from the Birmingham
point of view there is, l think, just as
much prosperity this summer. Business
has been good here all the first half of
the year and 1t will be improving right
along in the second half.
Il am still thinking how much the
Tutwiler Hotel company is to be con-
graduated on having secured as lessees
the United Hotels company. Really, the
Birmingham public is to be congratu-
lated. The men at the head of the
United Hotels company are second to
none in this country. They will conduct
the Tutwiler on as high a scale as any
thing in New York"

BIG MEN AND BIG MOUTHS

From Leslie's.
There never was time when men
of ability and integrity were in great
err demand than they are today. AS
business has become big it has had a
call for big men and for young men
who have the foundations for expan-
sion.
Salaries for big business men. dis
tinguished for industry and honesty,
were never larger, in this or any other
country The demand for masterful
mon exceeds the supply.
Nor was there ever a time when
more little men thought they were big
than now, never a time when the lit
tie man with a big mouth could make
more of disturbance than today.
1t is the big mouth not the big brain
that catches and holds the crowd. The
big mouth is framing legislation. grab }
bing fat OFFICES. challenging established
customs, questioning the wisdom of the
founders of the republic. and impugn-
ing the integrity of all who have the
courage to resist the advancing tide OF
unreason, unrest and destruction.
How long the big mouth will be the
vogue heaven only knows. But 1t DOM
mates in politics and in legislation.
1t obtrudes upon every effort for re-
form and, worst of all, it deludes a
lot of credulous people into the be-
lief that sound is better than sense,
and noise superior to wisdom.
They had the big mouths in scrip
tural days. They were described by a
veracious chronicler of a period. re-
sembling our own in many respects
for history continually repeats itself.
The chronicler said: But all their
works they do for to be seen of men:
/ They make broad their phylactories and
enlarge the borders of their garments.
They love the uppermost rooms at
feasts, and the chief seats in the syn
agogues. Even SO We also outwardly
appear righteous unto men. but within
ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Let the people rule!

NOVEL BATHING COSTUMES

Paris Correspondence New York Herald.
Several new ideas are being evolved by
the designers of womens bathing toilettes
this year.
An imitation of mems dressing gowns
for beach wear is the fashion in place of
the elaborate cloaks of last summer.
These are worn in large, loud stripes and
in violent colors, and have enormous col
lars and cuffs of the same soft and absor-
bent material with which the whole gar
ment is lined.
The only competitor of this bathing
wrap will be a reproduction of the ordi-
nary opera cloak in bright clinging ma
terial, the upper part richly embroidered
and finish off with a collar of the same
tint as the headgear The latter is ex-
tremely varied, ranging from the Dutch
bonnet Of divers highly finished stuffs for
the women who put the decorative quail
ity first and the salt water afterward.
A remarkable compromise, which will
be very popular, is the old fashioned rub

even among the most straightlaced women
that it is no more indecorous to show the
lower limbs than to show the arms and
shoulders at a ball.
AS to bathing dresses themselves, a
wave of severity is setting in. The cos
tunes of old gold brilliant green and pale
amber which were seen last summer are
no longer in favor There is nothing es-
pecially striking in the actual bathing
dress yet. but it is understood that the
dressmakers have designed several start
ling surprises which certain society lead
ers will introduce when the holiday sea-
son is in full swing.

The Iron Market

Business is a good deal better in pig
iron. than the prices which are going"
says Matthew, Addy g. Co., in their Gin
cinnati report. but it is a satisfaction
to note that the volume of trade of late
has largely increased. Everyone now is
happier than they were few weeks ago.
LAS compared with last fall, we have
not much over which to rejoice. Then
things were going with a rush and 1t was
predicted that the great turn had come
Compared, however, with the recent
months things are decidedly better There
is much more activity and buying has
been on such a large scale as to material
many consumers is still to cover only for
their immediate wants. though there are
more who think the bottom has been
reached and who are purchasing for the
entire last half. As a matter of fact,
however, iron masters are not happy over
prices. They are naturally pleased to see
new orders, but the prices are altogether
unsatisfactory and the latter part of the
year is bound to seq production materially
reduced. Heavy tonnages are still to be
bought and the market is full of inquiries.
Cooke has not shared In the weakness of
iron prices. 1t remains high with an ac-
tive demand. This year the coke men are
bound to reap harvest"

TINE presence of warm weather
properly calls attention to infantile
ease. 1t used to be considered a rather
infrequent disease, but has of late been
epidemic in various parts of the country,
and medical attention was concentrated
last year on the effort to learn everything
possible about the disease and, above all,
its caues and mode of distribution.
The affection may be fatal in compar-
atively short time. It's favorite victims
are children, and they may recover. but
they may be sadly crippled for life. Prob
3 bly, no disease in recent years has pro-
Guoed more sadness in families than this.
The mode of dissemination of the dis
ease has been found, one of its carrier :
at least is recognized, and therefore it
may be better guarded against than IN
the past and eventually entirely elinii-
mated.
The carrier thus far discovered is the
stable fly, the stomoxys calcitrans. which
lives on the blood of animals and particu-
larly dwells rear stables, but which occa-
sionally inyaoes human dwellings and
bites particularly children who are not
able to protect themselves against it.
This seems 10 be the reason why infantle
paralysis only rarely attacks larger chill
cren or adults.
For some time II has been known that
the monkey is subject to infantile paraly-
sis, and Professor Roscnau, of the Har-
ward Medical school, took up the problem
of determining by means of this animal
the relation of the fly to the distribution of
the disease Monkeys were infected with
the disease Iy injection and then allowed

MOST DEADLY OF FLY SPECIES

to be bitten by stable flies. After an in
terval these flies were allowed to bite
other monkeys. Bitten monkeys exhibited
the symptoms of the disease in six cases

The stable fly resembles the ordinary
housefiy in many ways and Is indeed close
ly related to it, but differs from It in a
number of important respects. The adult
stable fly feeds exclusively on blood. Bit

the country and are often seen In the
neighborhood of stables and barns In cities
