Upon the character ot our young men.
Whether worthy or not, into their
hands must be placed the standards
of the future. As they are, so will
be our national and civic destiny. To
shape and mould thetn for higher
ideals, for nobler things, than we
have known, is Our duty; If the son
is not better than the father, then has
the father lieen lecreant to hu.duty.

The graduation of Miss Etta H.
Maddox from the Baltimore Law
Sr hool is announced. As Maryland
is one of the states in which women
are excl ded from the bar, sbe will
have to practice the profession in
some oilier state. It matters not
. how high she may stand in her class,
sne is debarred by the stern dictum
of the law that a woman is inhibit
ed fivm practising at , the bar. Al
most, every other fiefd of endeavor,
including that of medicine, is open to
her, but when it comes to the law,
. only the male sex has the call. The
Baltimore Sun, in commenting on
this stale of affairs,says; “The old
v gnlations Imre lingered on till the
in dug of this century, piobably
i ,itier because there has been no
special demand for their repeal than
because of any determined opposi
tion. If a proposition for their re
peal should come before the next
legislature, us we trust it may, it
does not huciu likely ibnl it would be
bjj|!t'i»«d by any considerable portion
of the bar or by any member of the
judiciary.”

"The progress of Georgia is a mag*
mficant tiling,” said Judge Thomas
1). Weller, ot Savannah, at the
Kaleigh, according to the Washing

mendous strides as a commercial
center of the south with great pleas
ure and gratification, but for myself,
my people before me were cotton
planters, and I have lieen content to
follow in their footstep*.
"I kuow no news that would inter
est you, but I eau tell you of the
narrow escape one of my dear friends
and companions had from carrying
into his home circle the curse of a
violator of holy tradition. The gen
tleman after the death of his first
.wife married a maiden lady, the
daughter of a house famous in the
history of the southland. She is a
most estimable person, and is much
oppo ed o the use of liquor. Among
the relics she had brought “from her
old home on the occasion of her
marriage was a bottle of French
brandy which had belonged, it was
said, to the son of Govenor Ogle
thorpe, her anoesc. A violent
storm arose one night recently and
she called her husband to fasten the
shutters of the house, which wdre
flapping noisily. He did so, but
when he raised the window a gust of
wind swept in, wetting him to the
skin. My friend had provided him
self with a drop of comfort, but had
consumed this and was at a loss for
a preventive against odd uutil he
thought of the ancestral brandy. He
went to the pantry, found the pre
cious bottle, and discovering that he
had only pajamas on when he reach
ed for his corkscrew, impatiently
broke the neck off ehe sacred bottle,
and took a big swallow of the excel
lent liquor it contained. Shortly af
ter his return to his bed room, iiis
wife sniffed suspiciously and said she
smelled ‘spirits.’ My friend assured
tier that it was purely imagination,
until she suggested that n> her belief
the bottle of French brandy of her
ancestor had been blown over by the
storm and was broken. My friend
leaped from his bed at the sugges
tion, rushed to the pantry, took an-

A very curious device has bean in
vented, by which it is possible U> de
termine how many times the eye
.moves iu reading, and how fast the
movements are made. The otfjidt
.of the instrument is to show in what
cases reading is hurtful to the eyes,
and thus to prevent shortsighted
ness and fatigue In a tset of the in-
str .ment recently made the results
were curious. A man’s eye was first
made insensible' to pain by an ap
plication of liolocooaiue, and then a
light shell, with a hole in the cen
ter, was placed on the eyeball and
ill Id to it by suction. The shell was
connected with light aluminum lev-
vrsSn such a way that the eye move
ments were traced on a moving
spoonful.of the precious liquor re
maining into his pocket flask, and
then returned to his wife with a con
flrmation of her fears. Thus was
domestic peace maintained.
The slot machine has called into
existence iu Holland quite n new
class of merchants, namely the half
peuny .merchant. The existence of
this-new kind of money broker is due
to the increasing scarcity ot the 2^
cent piece, a scarcity which may be
throned a veritable famine. Of the
slot machines, the automatic gas me
ter is the. principal delinquent, and
the widespread use of this class of
inachjue all through the country is
said to have made the business of
the half-penny merchant quite a lu
crative one. The .2|.-cenl piece is- the
largest of the minor coins, and al
though M util email says that it “is
provided in abundenee,” still the

Conditions such as bad food, bad
air, excess in foods and drinks, de
fective drains and the like, are all
parts of what we may call the en
vironment of disease, Rays the Scots
man. They weaken us and lay us
open to germ attack. They may not
cause disease in themselves, but they
cause our bodies to be favorable soils
wherein disease may flourish ai d
grow. We say that a house with
defective drams is liable to cause
headaches, sore throats, dtptherin,
typhoid fever and other ailments.
What we really mean is that breath
ing sewrage gases and living over
filth foundations weakens our gen
eral health and brings about a stale
of body favorable to the successful
attack of whatever germs we may
swallow or inhale, We weaken the
resisting power of our frames, and
fall before the attack of tho microbes,
which otherwise, if in good health,
we are capable of resisting. No
body supposes that a child is born
with consumption developed in its
lungs, even if its parents are con
sumptive. Bnt it is born with
weaker lungs than the child of
healthy folks; that is, its lungs are
more liable to harbor the microbe of
the disease than the lungs of a
healthflv-born child. Agan, a man
with strong lungs, while he inu6t
inhale the germs of consumption
very frequently, as we all do from
the air, does not acquire the disease.
But let him suffer with a severe cold,
he is then laid open to attack. The
c ild weakens the lining membrane
of his bronchial tubes, and the germs
inhaled, not resisted and killed by
the body’s cells, settle down and de
velop disease. The lesson to be
learned is the duty of fortifying our
bodies, of scrupulously attending to
our general health, and of thus re
sisting disease attack. Once ac
quired, disease will run its course,
and the doctor’s services are then
requisite to favor in every way the
body’s battle against its invading
foe.
