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. O g. Misses Overshoes at W. H. Coker A Co. _____ POINTS ABOUT Some Who Go.

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 Argonaut For Sale. 12 Sewing Machines, sl6 to $25. 20 Pistols, $1 to $lO. 40 Watches, $1.50 to S6O.
