Harm Society is Doing. Savannah Now*. In his sermon to the graduating class President Taylor of Vasser College talked very frankly. He told the girls that society was do ing an iufinite amount of harm by its tendency to pleasure and its extravagance. It puts ideas into the minds of young people that turn them away from matri mony. The young men hesitate to marry because they are afraid they oouldn’t earn enough to sat isfy the wants of themselves and their wives. They feel they must do as the social cirole in which they move does, and there have been such prosperous times' for a number of years,and there- is so much wealth, and there is a great recklessness in the spending of money. Of course the vast ma jority are not wealthy, but the percentage that is, is so large as to have a decided iulluence on so ciety generally. It would be unjust of course to girls to say that they turn aside from poor and struggling young men in search of husbands who have wealth, but they cannot help but be influenced by the mauy evidences of extravagance whioh are brought to their notice in one way and another. President Taylor called atten tion to the introduction of the smoking habit among the ultra fashionable set, the costly pres ents given to brides-—some of them valued at many thousand of dollars—and other matters which helped him to impress upon the graduating girls that there were many pitfalls to be avoided if they would happy lives and contented homes, lie told them that it would require great effort on their part to follow the course which judgment told them was the right one. The average American girl is endowed with rare good sense. As a rule Bhe can be depended upon to do what is right. Still, she is likely to encounter unhappiness and defeat if she desires too strog- ly to'indulge in the extravagance of society or places too much stress upon the pleasure whioh wealth alone makes possible.

Columbus anquIrer-Sun. Dr. L. E. Starr, of Wilcox county, Alabama, haB made a series of ex periments in the uses of cotton seed meal for bread-making purposes, as a result of which he finds that three parts of eorn meal and one.part of cotton seed meal make a very good article of bread. The Progressive Era, published at Camden, thus de scribes the new process: a, The doctor’s plan is to mix about one peok of cotton seed with three pecks of corn and grind the mixture in the ordinary grist mill. When run through a sieve all the hulls, etc., together with the bran, is caught, and it is claimed that the cotton seed corn meal is just as pure and healthy as corn meal or flour, and that it has the advantage of al ready having enough grease in it to cook it. The bread is hardly as dark as that made from the red-eob corn, and can scarcely be told from the ordinary bread.” In commenting upon this discov ery, the Birmingham Age-Herald thinks “if palatable and nutritious bread can be made from corn and cotton seed, both of which the south produces, the latter abundantly and the former in good quantities, there Bhould be no trouble in producing a home supply of bread.” It iB true that the bouth should be able, under , such circumstances, to produce a home supply of bread. The south is able to do this, any way, if the southern pltfhters will only make the proper effort. They have done so in the past and they can. do so again. While Dr. Starr is confident that he has discovered a method by which a palatable, whole some and oheap bread can be pro duced, it is doubsful if the people will take very largely to the use of it, at least for some time to come. The Meteor Missed Him. St. Louis Republic. J. F. Devol, engineer at the Rob erts, Johnson & Rand shoe faotory, narrowly eeoaped being killed by a falling meteor Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock. The velooity of the meteor was so great that it tore a hole in the ground a foot deep. Mr. Devol stated that when the meteor struck the ground it sound ed as though some one had sharply struok a ball with a bat. After dig ging it out of the ground, he found it so hot that when he placed it in a newspaper it set fire to the paper. He carried it to the engine-room, \Vhere it retained its heat for nearly two hours. He says there was a strong gas emitted from it when first found. The meteor is disk-shaped, and weighs about four pounds. It is four and one-half inches in diame ter, of a reddish-brown color, and streaked with numberless minute crystals. George Simmons, a negro porter in the employ of the faotory, was standing near a window on the third floor. He saw the objeot fall ing through the air, but mistook it for a ball, and was astonished when he saw it disappear in the ground. At the time the meteor fell Mr. De vol was standing back of the facto ry directing two men in the removal of some debris. When he saw it bury itself in the ground beside him, not a foot away, he began to dig for it with an iron bar, and af ter three minutes of hard work suc ceeded in removing it from the ground.

It seems that there is a strong probability that the President and Senator Hanna will cease to work together in political harness. It would be strange indeed if two such strong-willed men should con tinue to work in harmony in the po litical field. Besides, their ideas of political morality are widely differ ent. Senator Hanna is a good civil service reformer as long aB the peo ple can be fooled by civil service resolutions and civil service talk, but as a matter of fact, he believes in practical politics from start to fin ish. On the other hand, the Presi dent is a good deal of a civil service reformer, not only theoretically but practically. He might sacrifice civil service reform in a particular in stance or two, if it were necessary to do so to gain a point in the game of politics, but thus far in his politi cal career he has tried to be a civil service reformer in fact. Probably there is a little feeling between the two men—the Presi dent and the Senator—because of the persistent rumor that the latter is a candidate for the republican nomination for president, but the immediate cause of their present trouble is the determination of the President to have certain charges against federal office.holders in Cleveland, O., investigated. Tte charges were made by Representa tive Burton, the chairman of the River and Harbor Committee. He is an Ohio man, and he claims that the office-holders in question have been perniciously active in politics in his district with the view of de feating him for a re-nomination. These office-holders are proteges of Senator Hanna. He asked for their appointment, and when the charges were made he went to the White House and asked the President not i i n otice them. It seems, however, i licit the President took a different view, andfhas sent one of the civil service commissioners to Cleveland to look into the matter. Of course Senator Hanna feels aggrieved that* his advice should have been ignored and is annoyed by the possibility that two or three of his political pets will lose their official positions. Of course the President is right in thin matter. If the officials in question have been violating the law they ought to be called to account. But a president cannot always do what is right and at the same time retain all of his political friends. If there should be a break in the friendship of Senator Hanna and the President there would be a dis tinct decrease in the chances of the latter for getting the nomination of his party for president, • * * Ghosts would frighten many peo ple who are not afraid of germs. Yet the germ is a real danger. If this microscopic animalism could be magnified to a size in proportion to its deadliness it would show like a giant python,or fire-breathing drag on. The one fact to remember is that the germ is powerless to harm the body when the blood is pure. It is far easier to keep the germ out than it is to drive it out after it ob tains a hold in the system. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the most powerful and perfect of blood purifying medicines. It in creases the quantity as well as the quality of the blood, and enables the body to resist disease, or to throw it off if disease has obtained a foot ing in some weak organ. Wherever the digestion is impaired, the nutri tion of the body is diminished, for the blood is made from the food which is eaten, and half digested food cannot supply the body with blood in quality and quantity ade quate to its needs. For this condi tion there is no remedy equal to “Golden Medical Discovery.” It cures ninety-eight out of every hun dred person who give it a fair trial. When there is constipation Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets will prompt ly relieve and permanently cure. ^-0-4- The Mexican government has or dered that all railway employes coming in contact with the public must be able to speak the Spanish language' well enough to deal di rectly with the passengers.
