The Mobile (Ala.) Register says that
that city has three times the population
1t had at the outbreak of the war, and it
does not think that the falling off in the
cotton receipts is to be at all fatal to its
future prosperity. 1t says: "Our naval
store business gives employment to a host
of men whose families live in the city,
The early vegetable and fruit business
has likewise grown enormously, and the
oand of improved gardens and farms
around the city has materially expanded


We hear of peach crop on single farm
netting 81, 900. We hearof asugar cane farm
yielding 800 to 400 gallons Of molasses tc

improved clip of wool in every direction

to the capacity of the country and city

Many of THE TRIBUNE readers are martyrs
TO neuralgia or some other nervous affection.
They will probably hear therefore with kecner
interest than they take i'll the news from the
Danube that their worst season of torture ends
with this month. May closes the annual period
of vital depression, when human life is at its
ebb, and neuralgia, chOrea, and epilepses run
rampant in our bodies like Shiny things on the
shore at low tide With the dry warmth of
June the human thermometer rises, the amount
of pain lessons, our chances for life increase.
Another subject of interest to this class may
be found in a curious investigation recently
made by DR.. ). Weir Mitchell into the effect
Of weather upon pain. Every man or woman
cursed with rheumatism or a corn since the
beginning of the world has been foretclling
approaching storms by them, yet no scientific
explanation has ever been given how lump
OF hardened skin on toe could gain knowl-
edge OF a rainfall on the other side o. the
continent


Dr.. Mitchell, who as our readers know has
made neural disease specially, has for years
closely observed the influence Of the weather
on pain, and now, with the aid of an excep-
tonaly intelligent patient, is enabled TO set
before us certain general positive deductions.

Last week we urged upon such OF OHr read
crs as are in the habit of taking their own
children out of the heat and disease of the
city during the Summer the duty of helping to
omen some door of escape for the thousands of
sick little paupers who die in our tenement
houses and cellars every July and August
We have heard since then Of n cheap, effective
method by which this has been done, and
which we wish to place before our readers as
one already successfully tested and which is
within the power of any householder living in
the country to put into practice. The fact Is
that the free excursions, admirable and COM
mendable as they are, are of no practical ben
eft in saving the lives Of children dying Of
teething or marasmus; and the four or five
sanitariums established at the sea-shOre are
but of small aid among the thousands who
need this kind of aid.


In May, last year, lady living a short dis
tance from Philadelphia brought a couple of
poor sick children out to her country house,
kceping them for two or three weeks Their
place when they returned was filled by others,
aftcrward by babies with their mothers. n
clean, comfortable room, plenty of plain,
wholesome food, and leave to be idle and to
grow strong in the fields and fresh air, was
all that was needed. Some Of her neighbOrs,
seeing how easy and effective this hospitality
was, offered to take such guests also. The
kindly idea was cOntagiOus that farmer must
think himself poor indeed who is not willing
to spare bite and sup to two starving sick lit
tie folk Before the Summer was over the
lady made regular weekly visits to the city,
taking charge of the children whom her
friends IN town had chosen as worthy objects
of the charity, and leaving them at each sta
ton on her return with farmers who had offered
TO receive them. At the end Of two or three
weeks she brought them back to the depot in
town. where their friends received them again.
This Summer the system has been perfected /;
a club of good women in the city Will choose
the children most in need Of such help, in
some cases taking the mothers also. The
farmers and townspeople with Summer homes
living along the line of almost every railway
running into Philadelphia have entered into
the scheme ard Will receive the children. The
lady who first devised tile plan is a post of no
mean order in the public Judgment, but she
has written no word so fine or enduring as
this.


In every instance during last Summer the
experiment met with complete success. The
farmers who opened their doors then were first
to offer this Spring. Cannot the plan be tried

which, as it sweeps along in advance of the

and rheumatic joints.


Our readers will not have a gripe of torture
more or less this May for this discovery, but

A gentleman who lives in Vernon
county tells a remarkable story of the
sagacity of a dog which accompanied
him on his travels. While in the Short
Greek timber, on his way to Joplin, the
dog jumped and caught the horse by the
bridle-rein. Mr.. Ewing drove the ami
NAL off, but it persisted in catching the
horse by the reins, until the gentleman
concluded it must be mad. Under the
impulse of the moment he pulled his re-
volver and shot the animal, which then
ran back along the road over which he
had come. In few minutes Mr.. Ewing
missed his overcoat, which had been tied
to the saddle. He turned back to find
it, and after riding about mile, not
only found his coat, but his faithful dog,
which was lying on the garment dead.
