A prominent citizen who has recently
returned from a long stay In 81. Louis,
took occasion yesterdsjr to speak of the
state's Interests at the greet fair, and
referred to the courtesies shown him by
the three Georgians, who were In charge
of the building, and the exhibits of the
state.
"I have never seen greater efforts man
ifested In acquainting people who visited
the Georgia building with thf advantages
of the state These three men simply
never tired of their work. »
"They did this without salary and with
no other reward In sight than the ap
proval of their fellow-cltisens. They gave
of their time and of tlielr purses.

The Pace That Kills.
In New York and most of the large
centres of wealth there has been an
alarming Increase of death from or-
ganlo heart trouble and Brlgbt'a dis
ease.
This need not worry the compara
tively poor to any great extent, says
the Bridgeport Post, for these are
aristocratic aliments. Rrlght’s dis
ease comes along with n rapid exist
ence and late hours and rich feeding
and wines.
In 1871 In New York City the two
diseases mentioned killed 17.62 per
sona out of every 10,000 of the popula
tion. New York was a little slow
thirty-three years ago. It had only
begun to learn how to burn up money.
The rich did the best they know how
then, and were willing to learn more.
The poca quickened, and so did the
death rate. You can't fool the Old
Man with a Scythe. You cannot sneak
late hours nnd highballs and thousand
dollar dinners In on him. nnd so In
1892 the deaths had Jumped to 2,912
from heart disease and Bright'
ease, or 21.91 persona In every 10,000.
In 1002 the total deaths from the
causes named were 5.947 and the num
ber of persons per 10,080, 27.20.
The remedy Is sane living. Thnt
doesn't mean that on# can begin liv
ing sanely after he has sowed wild
oats for a quarter of a century. The
crops put In must he harvested. It
means sane living from childhood up.
A look at the vital statistics quoted
ought to make the average poor man
who haa robust health fairly well
atlafled with his condition.

Mexican Dependence Upon United States
Cotton.
. The cotton mills of Mexico will be com
pelled to Import hqavily from the 1’nlted
State* during the next several months
that an ambltloua man emits orange rays.
In fact, they take no atock In the story
by Dr. J. Henson Booker of England.
The latter Is a famous man In Notting
ham. He claims that experiments num
bering 800 and covering a peitod of three
years had convinced him that a man's
character and his temperament might be
told by the oolor of the rays emanating
from hla body. The following la his
schedule:
Rays of a deep red hue—Passionate
man.
Pink raya—The man who Is good and
attempts to do good.
Orange rays—Ambitious man.
Deep blue—Deep thinker.
Yellow—i/over of art.
Oray—Depressed and anxious man.
Muddy brown—Low and debased man.
Light blue—Good meaning person.
Light green—Progressive-minded man.
Dark green—Phyalcally or mentally ill.
Dr W. A. Evana was the first Chicago
physician approached. "If a patient of
yours threw off pink rays, what would
you think of him?" was asked.
"Beg pardon?" queried the physician.
"If a patient of yours threw off pink
raya what would you think of hla char
acter?" . , ^
* The physician began to look uneasy.
"Began pardon?*’ he repeated.
"lr a patient of voura threw ofT pink
raya. what would you believe of him?"
It wta evident that the physician waa
thinking nnd thinking rapidly. A tele
phone stood near by. The doctor’s eyes
wandered to It. It waa e%*ldent thnt he
was thinking of telephoning to the po
lice and calling for the "wagon."
Than the l*ondon phvslolan'a statement
waa handed to him. The physician look-
ed relieved. "I'm sure I don't know.” he
finally answered. *T never saw any of
the raya.”
Dr. W. H. Davis was next apoexled to.
"Do any of your patients emit plnkfraya?"
,he waa asked
"Beg pardon." he answered. It waa evi
dent that none of hla patients were good.
"Do any of th*ra emit orange raya?”
"How's that?" It was evident that
tone of his natlents were ambltloua.
"Or yellow?"
The physician Just stared. 2t was evt
dent th*t none of them were art lovers.
Th»n the *u*tement of the English phy
aioDn wan given to him.
"Humph," waa all the doctor said.
Every Child "Well Born.”
That practically every child In born
capable of physical and mental health-
and usefulness, no matter how en
feebled the parents may be by want,
la the cheerful view suggested by the
research of the British National
League for Physical Education.
Is it possible to improve the lowest
classes, with no physical strength and
no mental backbone? writes Lander
Brunton in the National Review. Of
course this Is Impossible n« far na in
dividuals are concerned, but Is It pos
sible for the race? According to the
evidence given before the Interdepart
mental committee the answer Is an
emphatic "Yes."
The sins of the fathers are visited on
the children, but with the exception of
actual diseases nnd perhaps Intoxica
tion In the parents Infants are not af
fected before birth, but come Intd the
world healthy and strong. It is nfter
their birth that the unfavorable Influ
ences begin to tell—Improper food,
partial starvation and lack of enre in
Infancy—the same bad conditions,
along with Impure air, want of exercise
and playgrounds, evil companionship
in the gutters during childhood-
smoking, drinking, gambling, idleness.
There Is a physical standard which-
is the inheritance of the people ns a
whole, and although the baby's father
and* mother may have become puny
and weak from poverty and unwhole
some surroundings, the baby when
boro reverts to the racial type, and If
properly cared for after birth may
possibly rival In strength and physique
Its far-away Viking ancestors.

Training Cavalry Horses.
From Harper’s Weekly.
The most Interesting and amusing of all
tbs sights of Aldershot is the big reser
voir, or lake, where cavalry horses from
all parts of the world are trained to
swim with a thoroughness that rivals
even the Italian system of horse train
ing.
It was well known, by the way. that
cavalry horses In the Italian army go
through almost as much training as
though they were Intended for a circus,
and the writer has often been amazed to
see patrician Homan officers riding their
fine chargers down ateep flights of atono
stairs, and down especially constructed
precipices which look aa though they
were especially Invented to encompass tho
destruction or both horse and rider.
Again, the writer has witnessed the as
