It la not treating them fairly o make them tote the result* of their labor, and we cannot believe that Macon will allow them to go without the Justly-earned rewards ol (heir skill and toll. "The truth 1st Macon cannot afford to do It. Her wealthy citizen* who organ ised the exposition company should go down In their pockets and foot the bill, and we believe that they will do It. they do not, then their failure to live up to their contract will Injure Macon, In lure Georgia and Injure the proepects ot future fair* an* exposition* In this state. The payment of the premiums was promised ‘after the jloao of the fair,' to use th* anguago of tho official prospec tus, but the great majority ot the extib; (tors are atilt watting.

"Clearly thla way of doing buslnesi must necessarily hurt Macon, Georgia, the agricultural society and our future expoettlons. The people of Macon are liberal and publio-splrited and we cannot behave that they will let the matter rest here. We feel aatlsded that they will raise the money and redeem every pledge mode by the exposition company."

There to a wrong t-mpresslon out os to the effect of the Macon Exposition Company receivership. Many suppose that the receivership will Increase the -burdens of the company and cause & large portion of Its assets to go In use less court costs. This seems to he not true, as I understand It.

One of the surprises encountered by tbo trareler when ho is first among Mongolians la their physical development Americans sra wont to judge their bodily structuro by the specimens lathe laundry shops of Sam Lee or Wl Ping, and tbe looso cloth ing ol the Chinaman conceals his brawny arms and legs when he has them. See ing Tibetans In the Himalayas—stocky chunks of men, with an abnormal muscu lar development—had not brushed away my Idea that tbo Chinaman was rather a slim, unmusoular oriental, something like tbe willowy Hindoo, but when I landed in Singapore and first saw numbers of coolies stripped to their work I was thunderstruck at their massive proportions. The Chinese ore commonly said to bo a diseased race, a people permeated with blood poisons, but one docs not see it In the av erage specimen, and one docs seo nt every street comer men with limbs and torsos like Sandow, men who would be marked down for football players in any American college. Not but what disease is always an accompaniment of so crowded 9 popu lation, not that its manifestations fail to impressyoa, but the Chinaman, far from being a taper fingered mortal, is a tough, sturdy, fine fellow, with thews and sinews like an athlete, and plenty of ambition and oourage—within his racial lines. Nor have I found any exception to tho role. The Mongol from the borders of India, where, going cast, you first Btriko his homely coarseness, to tho confines of Ja pan, where you say goedby to his lovely cherry blossoms and his smiling bows, is everywhere, in physique, the same 6trong, enduring man. The Chinaman is filthy in mind, body and estate, tbe Japaneso is equally clean, but In more physical quality they are very much alike. That the Mon gol’s nervous structure Is less fine than tho Aryan's is evidenced by tbo fact that the average Chinaman will endure unblanohcd tho pain of a surgical operation wbioh would seriously compromise tho reaction ary power of most white men, and this, If anything, adds to his value as a mere hu man animal.—T.

Bomo of the beof powders In the market smell and taste of tbe chemist’s shop and are not readily taken by an invalid whose palato requires to be coaxed. A happy idoa struck the writer several months ago that beef powder might without difficulty be prepared fresh and on a small scale by any ordinary 000k. The experiment was mode, and the result was satisfactory beyond ex pectation. Beef powder made at homo is appetizing, has a delicate aroma and flavor and can betaken with pleasure by invalids who turn with aversion from ordinary food. If a little pepsin be taken at tbo same time, it is digested even'when the ordinary peptonized foods are not retained. The mode of preparation is simple. Lean beof is out into small pieces. Those are put Into boiling fat drippings or butter for aooupleof minutes until the surfaoels browned. They are then removed from the fat and placed on a strainer for a few moments. Afterward they are plaoed in a mincing machlno. The resulting mince is placed in a slow oven and dried. The dry-' ing process nmy take from 6 to 24 hours, or even longer, according to the heat em ployed. When thoroughly dried, the meat is quite crisp and can be ground in a cof fee mill that has not been used for 'any other purpose. In the drying process the meat loses a trifle ipore than four-fifths of Its weight. This beef powder can be taken in various ways—with hot water or soup, with mash ed potatoes, with bread and butter In a sandwich or with a little pepsin in a starch wafer. Tho writer has given this homemade beef powder with such excellent effect in several cases where there was muoh diffi culty with food that he thinks others may find it useful.—Dr. W. R. Huggard in British Medical Journal The Runaway Star. The greatest velocity that has been roc- ognlzed among the stars is found in the motion of a star known as 1880 Groom- bridge, or the "runaway star,” os it is sometimes called, which is believed to bo rushing through space at the rat© of 200 miles per seoend. This star appears to be moving in a perfectly straight lino through the sky, and* it may be visiting our star system for the firvt time, but whence It came or whither it is going no one can tell, and it is a great enigma to astrono mers. Its wonderful velocity cannot be ex plained, as it Is far greater than could be produced by tho influence of all known orbs in the universe, and, on the other hand, the oomblned attraction of all tho ■tprs cannot stop this wanderer in its soli tary {light through space until It has rushed onto the remoter distances, beyond which the largest telescopes have never penetrated. It has been mathematically demonstrat ed that a body approaching the center of our system from an infinite distance cannot move with a greater velocity than 25 miles a second If influonoed by the attraction of tbe masses In our universe alone, but here we have been considering a star moving with eight times that velocity, and still, notwithstanding the fact that lt has the greatest motion known among tho stars, it would require 185,000 years for this re markable star to complete an entire cir cuit around the heavens.—All the Year Round.

Are Sailors Safer Hum Landsmen? Judging from the number of people who are annually killed In the streets of London, the Aitantio ocean is far safer than the bustling Strand or Cheapslde. Thero are over 100 people killed every year from accidents in the streets of London, to eay nothing of the number who are kill ed in tho streets of other largo towns. Over 5,000 persons are annually injured in London in connection with the traffic of tbo streets. Tho late Mr. Thomas Gray of the board of trodo marine department stated some time ago that a man is safer at sea lu a fairly good ship than any where else. “There are more lives lost,’’ he said, “among miners from accident than among sailors and many more among railway cmalojees.”—London Tit-Bits.
