THE ROME TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3. 1897
ROME IS HEALTHY.
Eltile Ilinas, of a Serious Character in
City’. Limits Now.
Perhaps in the history of Rome has so
little sickness existed as at the present
time. The doctors of the city are doing
a starvation business. From one of the
very best physicians in the city a Tribune
reporter obtained the above information.
Speaking of this the physician said:
“From the best information I can get
there is not more than thirty cases of
sickness among the white residents of
the city, and little or none among the
colored residents. Most of all the illness
in the city is now caused by the cold
weather, colds, coughs, etc.
“I don’t see how we doctors are to
survive if business dosen’t pick up.
Never in my medical experience of twen
ty years has been so healthy.”
In view of the prevailing yellow fever
and other sicknesses in the south this
year, the above statement is a most re
markable one. Diligent inquiry among
a dozen of the leading medical practi
tioners revealed the fact that they are all
taking a vacation, so to speak.
Visitors from a distance seeking a
place of recreation and health, could not
find a more ideal place than Rome.

What Colonel Bill Swftslor Says.
The impression is general that Mis
souri river water is dirty-—that the big
river flows about two parts of dirt and
one of mud—but the impression is erro
neous, for the Missouri river’s water is
purer than the water of any great river
in the country, the Platte alone except
ed. It is true that when a bucketful of
it is dipped up it appears to be dirty,
but if the water is left until it settles it
will be found that the sediment at the
bottom is fine, dark colored sand and
not mud. The Missouri river’s water is
never muddy, save during the spring
high water.
Colonel Bill Switzler of Boonville,\
Mo., declares that the general idea that
Missouri means “big muddy’’or '‘mud
dy water” is wrong. He says, and Col
onel Bill Switzler is an authority, that
it means “wooden canoe.’’ The name,
he says, belongs to the Illinois dialect
of the Algonquin Indians. The name
Missuris or Missouri was applied by the
Indians of the upper lake region to the
tribe of Indians living west of the Mis
sissippi river, because the latter used
wooden canoes instead of birch bark
canoes.
Wooden canoes had to be used on the
Missouri river because it was too turbu
lent for the frail birch bark canoes, and
in this way the big river secured its
name. But no matter whether Missouri
means “muddy water” or “wooden
canoe, ” the fact remains that Missouri
river water is not muddy. It does not
flow through mud, but through fine
sand. The Mississippi river water is 100
per cent dirtier than the Missouri, but
poets have raved about the beautiful
blue of the Father of Waters.—Omaha
World-Herald.
Tennyson’* Slip.
Lord Tennyson is in his “Life” (vol
ume 2, page 14) reported to have said:
“I never put two s’s together in any
verse of mine. My line is not, as often
quoted:
‘ ‘And freedom broadens slowly down,
but:
“And freedom slowly broadens down.”
On reading this I opened my Tennyson
casually, and the first piece I saw was
“Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere,”
which contains four instances of the
double s—namely:
Sometimes the linnet piped his song.
She seemed a part of joyous spring.
Ab ehe fled.
As she swayed.
The next piece is “The Farewell,”
which has the line:
No more by thee my steps shall be.
The next piece is “The Beggar Maid,”
which has the consecutive linesj.
As shines the moon in clouded skies,
She in her poor attire was seen.
Thinking that perhaps Lord Tennyson
referred to his blank verse, I turned to
the “Dedication of the Idylls,” in
which I find these two lines:
Or how should England, dreaming of his sons,
and
Till God’s love set thee at his side again.
Lord Tennyson must, I think, have been
misreported.—London Spectator.
Marriage In England.
Englishmen now, it is said, are emu
lating the French in the absolute disin
clination to marry. When they do de
cide to take this important step, they
now frequently insist upon that dot
which is part of the French idea of a
successful and convenable marriage.
The real fact of the matter is that the or
dinary modern Englishman has no desire
to disturb his bachelor estate. If he has
no title, no special wealth, no great his
toric name to hand down to posterity,
single blessedness is good enough for
him. This state of mind is attributed
by many to the growing independence
of women. Possibly this is true, prob
ably it is not. Mercenary spirits boldly
assert that marriages in England will,
on the whole, never be successful until
women bring dots to their husbands,
since gold inspires respect if not love.
Marriage on a strictly business basis is
evidently the future for all English wo
men to look forward to.—San Francisco
