The mother who plans and manages for her children can usually keep them neatly and prettily dressed though she spends but Huie on their clothing, and it re quires Ingenuity and good management to keep them well dressed when the income sea limited one.

One of the most enjoyable treats tn general reading that I have experienced tn years came to me in the columns of a periodical published in Philadelphia under the. title of "American Medicine. ’ They are lectures delivered in San Francisco by Malcolm Morris, F. R. C. 8. of London. England, surgeon to the de partment of skin diseases at St. Mary’s hospital. Dr. Lane, of San Francisco, to the gen erous person whose efforts have brought this fine lecturer to America, and great must be the enjoyment of the doctors of thia country in the opportunity thus pro vided. I have been privileged to read two of these lecture® on "Dermatology.” and shall eagerly await the next one, and on to the close of the series. As Indicated by the title, Surgeon Mor ris makes a specialty of skin diseases. The reader® of The Journal are vitally in terested tn all matters pertaining to ev eryday existence and everyday comfort, in their own health and the health of their offspring. Therefore, the subject of skin diseases, known in modern medicine as dermatology. Is peculiarly interesting and Instructive to homes and families. Th® wise lecturer says: "No man need be more ashamed of studying the sldn than of studying the brain and the ner vous system, and if he find In it enough to occupy hto whole attention, be has, at any rate, the satisfaction of feeling that in his narrow sphere he can often do more to relieve suffering than the men of larger aims. As Browning sal's: “ This low man seeks a little thing to do, Sees It. and does it: That high man. with a great thing to pursue. Die® ere he knows It.’ ” The lecturer said every blotch and bleb •n the human skin has a meaning, "just as a blush may express love, anger, shame, pleasure or excitement: so eryth ema may range in significance from a chilblain to a septic infection of the grav est kind.” France, England. Austria and America have given more attention to skin dis eases than any other countries up to date. Bacteriology seems to have been the eye-opener of the world to the proper un derstanding of skin diseases. Cutaneous affections are in general evidence in ner vous disorders. Nervous overstrain, with diseases of the skin, "are'among the most distressing cases that a dermatologist can be called on to treat,” says Dr. Morris. The Infectious character of skin dis eases constitutes a most Important part of thi® subject. Dr. Morris says: "Under this head come a motley group of dis eases. ranging from the Inoculation of tubercle to the migration of a flea.” He also says “an infection of the skin, of lit tle or no consequence in ftaelf. may be im portant to the happiness of individuals and families, owing to the unfounded sus picions to which it may give riee.” There to no question but very innocent persons have been made the victims of "unfounded suspicions.” and have had entailed upon them the evil gossip of in correctly informed people regarding the disease as suspected. The lecturer tells of the danger that 'attends decoration of the skin, of hair dye® and piercing the ears. His description of itch to full of instruc tion. In pursuing this subject he tells of Napoleon, who caught the itch at the siege of Toulon from handling the rammer of a gun previously handled by a gunner killed in the act of firing. Napoleon load ed. fired, sweated and inhaled the scabies with which the dead man was covered. The virus of scabies or Itch followed him all through the campaigns of Egypt and Italy. The emperor often tore his skin until tt bled in hto itching paroxysms. Elderly people have not forgotten the prevalence of itch 40. 60 and 60 years ago among school children. School children not affected with itch wore sulphur in a little sack suspended from the neck to prevent the infection. > There is a full exposition of the louse, the dirty pest of uncombed heads, and he teito of an experience related by a phy sician of Boston in the year 1898. where affected children were excluded from school, and several were sent back carry rying physicians’ certificates that neither nits nor lice were present. "One determined mother, to make her case more sure, sent her child with four physicians' certificates, some of whom were connected with the best hospitals and dispensaries in Boston, but on exam ination Dr. Greene found she. still had nits Rdbert Burns describes the louse as "Detested, shunned by saint an’ sinner,” but some canontoed saints were found swarming with such vermin. Personal cleanliness, the lecturer said, was rather a modern invention, for the distinguished Lady Mary Wortley Mon tague was a well known beauty as well as a wit. and a bath was a well-known institution in her time, but some one ven turing to hint that her hands might be cleaner, she exclaimed: "Do you call that dirty? What would you say if you saw my feet?" A witness in London remarked before a health commission toward the middle of the nineteenth century: "The only two oc casions on which most of the laboring classes in England were washed all over was only after he was born and after he had died." The common bedbug lies under the sus picion of conveying tuberculosis to man. The flea lies under the same suspicion as to plague transmission, by Infecting the rat—or maybe the flea gets ft from the rat and passes ft on to man by poisoning hl® skin with its tainted carcass, or in some other bad way. The mosquito to, as we know, now charged with the transmission of yellow fever to human beings, and perhaps other diseases. This to a very brief and partial review of two lectures already printed, and I shall await the next with lively interest.

GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER'IO, 1901. | SCHLEY AND WHEELER j POINTEDLY CONTRASTED The investigation drags its weary length along before Admiral Dewey's court of investigation In Washington city. Nearly all the witnesses heretofore ex amined have been positively inimical to Admiral Schley. This very fact demon strates the effort of the administration naval party to cast unjust blame and odium on the great sea-captain who sunk the Spanish fleet at Santiago. It must be an amasing sight for great sea-captains in other countries to behold, to see a man on trial for cowardice who won for himself and his country deathless fame In one of the greatest naval bat tles of the world ever recorded. It- demonstrates the often repeated ax iom that "human nature is the same the world over.” Whatever may be the findings of the court ft is proven by a demonstration that logs of battlesnips are very unreliable as correct data. If official records are not to be depended upon, then the logs of these vessels had better be cast out as unworthy of re spect. One witness swore that the Brooklyn, Admiral Schley's battleship, crossed ahead of the Texas, only one hundred or a hundred yards distant, while the two nearest vessels in their official reports show that there was always two thousand yards between themselves and the Brook lyn. If Admiral Schley is to be dismissed as a coward, then the unreliability of official reebrds should be absolutely condemned forever and kicked out of any decent court. ' * ' • Admiral Sampson is said to be a sick man, and it to therefore charitable to conclude that he was not himself or men- THE DECA Y OF COURTESY. BY WALKER LEWIS, D. D. The decay of courtesy to a proposition hardly admitting contradiction. It dominates itself. If one is inclined to raise a question mark after that state ment, he might as well remove ft and place a period there. The proceedings of conventions, the sessions of boards and councils and legislatures, the atti tude of men toward-each other in trav el. on the streets and In business, teem with illustrations of this decadent vir tue. whose vigor and bloom are a people's glory. I cannot think our past civilization carried in its social relations so much of the coarseness manifest in the pub lic manners of today. It to said, "Man never is. but always to be blest.” apd likewise for finding excellence the habit of search is invariably from the pres ent Into the past. “The golden age” of everything is back of- our generation rather than overhanging it with balmy skies. To the inquiry. "Why were the former days better than these?” If the matter of courtesy were under consid eration, tt could hardly be answered, in terms true in many other matters, “Thou inquirest not wisely concerning this.” We are a better educated, better equipped people than were our fathers, but we are not more refined. The fiber of character may be aa firm tn us as it was in them, but its texture is coarser. Men at heart may feel no more un kindly toward their • feUows now than in remoter day® of ®ur republic, but they are at less pains to keep the fact qf how they feel if they feel adversely, from leaping offensively to the surface of life at every opportunity for preju dice or irritation to manifest its senti ments. Frequently bruqueness of man ner and utterance, as natural In some as shape of hand or foot, is taken for Intended slight, when the intention and the heart are kind; but not much of modern coarseness, making men unpleasant, or, to say the least, not agreeable to their fellows, is prop erly attributable to this source, and is therefore to be taken out of .the ac count. People owe each other for cour tesy. due but withheld, for slights and • insults instead of respeqt. Now lam far from objecting to plainness of speech. The severest can dor and the hardest words may fall upon the ears and the heart of qqr fel lows without offending the sensitive ness of a gentleman. Two friends of mine were capital examples, *'one a benedict, the other a bachelor. Origi nally of the same statue, the benedict became much stouter afteY his mar riage. The bachelor was offered a very fine suit the other imd bought in the period of his leanness. He was Independent, though lean, and said: 'Til take tt for what you gave for it.” "No,” said the other, "the pay is noth ing. It’s a present.” The bachelor thought to flank his generous antago nist, and after examining the suit de clined again. “It's entirely .too big for me; it’s big enough for Goliath!” ”No, it isn’t,” replied the benedict, "but it is not too big for any other liar, and you must take it.” Now the harshness of thia statement did not affect its courtesy. It isn't necessary for a man to become a gush er in order to render to .his fellows the honor which to their due. When a former Georgia president of a college ran against a cow on the campus and began the profoundest apology to "madam,” he made, owing to near sightedness, a mistake which, though quite creditable to hie gentlemanly . heart, is not expected of persons that see well. Overdoing the agreeable costs more than tt brings. The man who gushes' is in danger of lying fearfully. Insincere is he who to "delighted" to see everybody, who compliments every sophomore in bar or hustings or pulpit as a Hill or a Pierce, lifts hto hat to a clothes line decorated with a ®i!k skirt and greets a business drudge as a "royal gentleman" because of hi® com mercial importance, may be rated as a Chesterfield, but hto courtesy falls far below the genuine stuff one sees in even the newsboy that puts half his day’s earnings in fruit for his little invalid companion of the route. I recall a candid, rough man of other days. He was like a blackjack, though Blockings birds nested and sang in its branches, ano made widows and want’ glad with their notes. He had offended a townsman by hto outspokenness. A mutual friend Informed him of the fact and sent httn forthwith to mak® an apology which he was prompt to’ offer. His cordially Intended amende; however, was worse than the offense. “Captain Blank, I’m told I offended you yesterday by a remark. I didn't mean to do ft. Why, captain, I didn't think you were such an unmitigated fool!” And after that he turned upon his heels and entered bls office. He thought everything was adjusted and pleasant, when the mutual friend burst into his office next day, warm enough himself over the blunder to explode a powder magazine. * "I'm astonished at you!” he said re proachfully. “You have a good heart, but less suaviter In modo than any ffiari In Georgia!” “What that means I do not exactly know,” came the blunt re ply; “but if ft means money, I give you to understand I’ve got as much of that as any of you!” , Glorious old capitalist! The blackjack had many a bag of gold at its roots, but its rough and stubborn head bow ed to ctiild or governor alike as the winds of heaven swept over its, branches. Had he been five times as. wealthy and important in business en- t terprise, he would have shown no dlf-,\, ference of deportment toward the rich- yr tally capable of holding the place of Chief commander, while his family and friends have been crying down the man who" really won the . fight and destreyed Cervera’s ships at Santiago with Sampson himself not concerned in it. Without , going further into Admiral Schley’s merits or demerits there has been shown in navy circles the bitterest partisanship, envy and evil-speaking of oChers among high officials who .should be at better business for themselves as well as for their country. It is bad enough for dogs to snarl and bite. It is also dreadful to see rude boys kick and cuff one another on the play- fl ■ 1 jHF fe ..... ’ ■ ' i ? ;■ ■ •: est and the poorest. The ragged boys on the strrets, doing Hjtle errands and Jobs to keep starva tion from the cottages on the Com-* mons, got his smiles as quickly and as warmly as they were ever bestowed upon the most fgvored of his county and tpwn. On street car or railroad or in pubj'c gathering the needle wo man and tne haj*d pressed typewriter would not have ?ound a seatless pas sage possible, wfalle he had one to su render; and hto hat was lifted, if not with the grace or Chesterfield, certain ly with the soul.of a born gentleman, as corteously to the Wrinkled woman in calico as to the silk adorned matron of means and influence. He sleep® well today after life’s toil to over; and no grave in Fort Valley’s cemetery con tains the dust of a manlier man than that which holds, as its trust, the ashes of this man who felt “Honor and shame from no condition . rise, “Act well thy part—there all the power lies.” CHAPTER 11. Political Corrective®—Pulpit Perver sion. I don’t like serials any more than some persons like serious articles in newspapers or serious preaching in the pulpit; .and really I had no thought of falling intq Ml thto practice, proper, of course, in novelette, but not best in essay, when I began to write for the Journal a previous paper on the manifest decay of courtesy among the American people. The discussion is limited to theip, not because of my partiality for the foreign over the do mestic. which disease unmistakably affects some of our countrymen, but because I’m not "travelled,” and have enough regard for propriety to write •bout nothing I haven’t seen. I hadn’t got to the subject when the proper limit was reached. It sug gested a scene' during; a great dis-, cussion in a church assembly, some years past, when the speakers were limited to ten minutes. A great man, of intense convictions, was arranging to demolish his antagonists by that form of reasoning which states the strength of the opposition before as saulting ft. He did that, step by step, and the array Os argument was like the Macedonian phalanx when he had marshaled ft. But just then his time expired and the hammer fell. "Mr. President!” he protested, and begged—“ Mr. President! I haven’t begun my speech yet!” But it was in vain, and mad as a hornet whose nest boys have rocked, he sat down to grow madder amid the roars of laugh ter that "rocked" him from every side. I had not gotten to my subject when I imagined Editor Cohen’s hammer began to rise with the ' half uttered warning: "Time’s out; long enough for one article!” Still the subject re mains. barely touched beyond its peri phery, and It’s big enough for another article. Indeed., for more than anoth er, and it to fertile enough for gener al search by the pulpit and the press. The fact arises in disagreeable obtrus iveness. and it® existence calls for explanation, its evils for remedy. Why the decay of courtesy? The European critic will naturally attribute this fact to the principles of Republican government. It is. per haps, undeniable that American re volt from the doctrine of aristocracy and kingship has flung us so far from respect for these shadows of greatness, that we are apt to overlook greatness in anybody and worth in all. But the contrary touches a wider field for shaping and inspiring conduct. Ameri cans declare that the common people are kingly or aristocratic when they are deeervtng; and the feeling that de preciates men and fails to duly hon or them can hardly come out of that equation. To rate our citizens as the equals of Englands Aristocrats can hardly compel the reduction of the first member of the equation to that approach to nothing a lack of courtesy implies. Americanism ought to be- the handiwork of polite artd gentlemanly bearing. Besides a republican system of gov ernment bears In- its elective machin ery the influences that make many men decidedly Well behaved. Be tt understood that the writer in his con tention for the decay of courtesy, specifically expels trom a call to the stand for witnesses, alt candidates for office.

It was time, however, that this under current of dirty ' doings and sayings should be exposed, and ft to being done at the rate of a dozen columns of testimony every day In all the journals of the time. I saw Admiral Schley when President McKinley made hto "Confederate grave’,’ speech in Georgia’s state capitol. He did not impress me as a great man in appear ance, but he did wear the garb of a mod est man when he had the undoubted, right to rig up hto person on that occasion in an admiral’s uniform. Instead of gold lace and a multitude of flourishes he wore a very modest undress costume, and be haved himself like a gentlenian. I contrasted hto apparel with that of General Wheeler, whose dapper little frame was absolutely crowded to hold the gay and gaudy uniform of an United States army officer. Perhaps this to not the time or place to say it, but I feel quite sure that Gen. R. E. Lee or "Stone wall” Jackson would not have been in a hurry to get into the same sort of mili tary toggery like that of which little General Wheeler was so conspicuously va|n that he remtrided me of a three year-old child, dressed In his first breech es and not used to them.

They bow profoundly to overalls, and the tin bucket brigade is as attractive as the dress parade corps. Their grip makes the bones crack, so heartfelt to tneir friendship. The girl that has seven brothers barely enters the car before the candidate leaps to his feet in great scorn for the stolid fellows that keep seated, and Offers her two seats! "Why. John. I am glad to see you look so well today; how is the boy getting on!” is his courteous sal utation to neighbor John me morn ing after he announces! Let others announce. Let everybody announce! He hasn’t spoken to John before since Christmas. “The boy! I’ve no boy. Did nt marry till last week!” “Oh, ex cuse me; it was your brother I was thinking about. ” “I’ve no brother, Mr. Blank! They are all sisters!” "Confound him, he’s thinking about getting votes,” said John as he was permitted to retire. But it does mel low the American candidate, ■ and take the blackjack out of his manner and words, and make as though he had “finished off” his education, when he t "announces.” We can reform discour tesy by the multiplication of candi dates! More, gentlemen, more. It to hardly to be denied that abusive methods in the American pulpit have had much to do with the decay of courtesy. During the war the pulpit north of us, in many instances, though there were honorable excep tions. abounded in the vltupratlon of southern manhood and womanliness; and in our own pulpit the abuse and billingsgate that go for sermonizing so bespatter and conceal what is noble in almost all, that God’s Image on a human forehead is not holy enough to discourage its profanation by the gen eral and bitter contempt of men. It to an awful usurpation for a minister of the gospel to denounce one of Christ’s lost brothers. When what to sent to save consigns to gutter and obloquy Its Impotent and ruined charge, shall we expect the verdict of every day treatment, which follows that arraignment and condemnation, to be higher than low flung indiffer ence? Certainly not. The spirit and heart of the gospel speak forth in the exhortation of St. Peter, who before its light and inspiration found lodg ment in soul, thought the Gentile world too common and unclean for his min istry, but after that enduement de clared all men worthy of courteous notice. His "Love as brethren; be pitiful; be courteous,’! puts a new es timate of worthiness upon human na ture and lifts the lowliest unto a throne for the tribute of the world’s respect. Are men lower as well as lowlier than ourselves? Common in firmities and sorrows will ultimately bring us all, subject or ruler, wise or unendowed, famous or unknown, king ly or commonplace, unto the great lev el where all brows are alike distant from coronation, the open gated cem etery. • CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
