Tendency oi‘ the Times.
The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world in
being given to the subject. It is
easier and better to prevent than
to cure. It has been fully dem
onstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend
with, cau be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy. Pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack of
influenza (grip.) and it has been
observed that this remedy coun
teracts any tendency of these dis
eases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many
thousands of oases in which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip
in recent years, and can be relied
upon with implicit confldence.
Pneumonia often results from a
slight cold when po danger is ap
prehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and painB
in the cnest. then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia.
Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy* as
soon as the cold is contracted. It
always oures. For sale by all

How Other States Pay Legislators.
Atlanta Journal-
Pay of legislators in the different
states and the length of the sessions
of tbe general assemblies vary. The
Georgia legislator is often roasted
for the length of, time he sits in At
lanta and for the huge pay he draws,
but the Georgia representative when
compared to those of other states—
at least some other states—sinks in
to oblivion so far as the time con
sumed in making laws and the
amount drawn for law-making is
concerned.
Thirty-three states out of forty-
five in the union pay their legisla
tors a per diem, while twelve pay a
salary. The average per diem for
the whole forty-five states, accord
ing to statistics, is $4 87, and the
average length of the session in the
states whioh pay a per diem is six
ty-three days.
In Georgia the legislature is pro
hibited by the constitution of the
state from remaining in session for
longer than fifty days, and for that
fifty days’ work the legislator gets
the sum of $4 per day. California
and Nevada pay their legislators $8;
per day. This is the highest per di
em paid in the United States. Kan
sas, Oregon and Vermont pay their
lawmakers the sum of $3 per day.
ThiB is the lowest per diem.
The longest session of a legisla
ture paid a per diem iB the Michigan
legislature, which sits for 130 days
The shortest iB iu Oregon, South
Carolina and Wyoming, where the
time for making and unmaking laws
is oonfined to a period of thirty
dayss.
The state of New York pays its
assemblymen $1,500 per annum, and
sessions are held every year and can
not exceed 125 days. Pennsylvania
also pays her legislators $1,500 per
session, but tbe sessions are held on
ly every two years. These sessions
are limited to five months.
The state of Maine pays her so
Ions $150 per session. Where fixed
salaries are paid the sessions are
rarely ever limited. The longest ses
sions of a salaried legislature is in
Oonneotiout, where the sessions are
from three to six months, and in Il
linois, where they last from six to
seven months. The shortest session
of a salaried legislature is in New
Hampshire, where the legislators ad-
jo urn after they have worked about
ten weeks.
Iowa has biennial legislative ses
sions, and the members of the as
sembly receive $550 per term. The
average length of these Sessions is
ninety days. In New Jersey the
sessions, whioh are annual, last from
eleven to. eighteen weeks; $500 per
term is the salary paid Wisconsin,
which has biennial sessions, also
pays $500 per term.
Illinois pays $1,000 per session,
but the legislature only meets every
two years. In Alabama the legisla
ture is allowed to meet only everj
four years. Georgia is one of the
few states that have annual sessions.
The following statee have annual
sessions of the legislatures: Geor
gia, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York, Rhode Island and South
Carolina. With the exception of Al
abama, which has quadrennial ses
sions, all the other states have bien
nial meetings of the legislature.
Missouri haB a peculiar law. In
that state the legislators receive $5
per day for the first qeventy days of
the session and after that only $1
per day. It is safe to say that the
sessions in that commonwealth are
rarely over seventy days.
In Texas $5 per day is paid for
the fist Bixty days and after only $2
per day. It is said the Texans usu
ally adjoun abut the sixtieth day.
The state of Utah pays her. legis
lators for sixty days and after that
they can sit as long as they wish,
but the members get no pay. It is
not recorded that the house or sen
ate ever ;met after sixty days had
Free Public Education a Necessity in
a Democracy.
All the states except Delaware and
New Jersey pay the members of tbe
house and senate mileage.

Probably no one has expressed in
few words tbe necessity for free
public education in a democracy
better than has Walter Page in the
following extract from his address
on “The School That Built a Town,”
published, with two other valuable
essays on education, in a little vol
ume called “The Rebuilding of Old
Commonwealths.”
“To talk about education in a
democratic country as meaning any
thing else than free public educa
tion for every child, is a mockery.
To call anything else education at
all is to go back towards the middle
ages, when it was regarded as a
privilege of gentlemen or as a duty
of the church and not as a necessity
for the people.
“If a few men only are to be edu
cated, the accidents of fortune de
termine which they shall be. These
will regard themselves as a special
class, set off by themselves; and a
false standard of education is set up
both in the minds of the educated
and in the minds of the uneducated.
The uneducated regard themselves
as neglected.! You have the seeds
of snobbery and discontent sowed
over all the wide wastes of social
life, aud the uneducated part of the
state simply adds to its inertia rath
er than to its wealth and health.
“Bub even this false conception of
education is not the worst result of
a system that benefits only a few. If
only a part of any community be
trained, the very part that needs
training least is the part that gets
it. It is the ignorant that are neg
lected,and the state thus goes stead
ily down. For those that are pre
disposed to ignorance and idleness
and a lack of occupation are the
very members of the oomrannity
that ought not under any circum
stances to be neglected. There is,
therefore, no way under Heaven to
train those who need training most
but by training everybody at the
public expense.
“More than this (for democracy
has the quality of giving constant
surprises) it is always more than
likely that among the neglected are
those that' would become the most
capable if they were trained. Soci
ety forever needs reinforcements
from thu rear. It is a shining day
in any educated man’s growth when
he comes to see and to know and to
feel and freely to admit that it is
just as important to the world that
the ragamuffin child of his worth
less neighbor should be trained as it
is that His own child should be. Un
til a man sees this he cannot become
a worthy democrat nor get a patri
otic conception of education; for no
man has known the deep meaning of
democracy or felt either its obliga
tion or its lift till he has seen this
truth clearly.”

A peculiar muddy rain fell in San
Francisco a few days ago. When
the rain water had dried off the
streets it was found to have left a
sediment of fine, light dust. The
dust is believed to have come from
the volcano of Santa Maria, in Gau-
temala, whic)i broke out iu violent
eruption last Ootober, causing great
destruction. For some weeks the
people of California have been wit
nessing some gorgeously colored
sunsets, which they believe are oc
casioned by volcanic dust in the air.
