Southern Education u~National Problem. Til;' whole country was neces sarily uff.-oted before emancipa tion by the fact of two races in ' the South,and the wholecountry 1 i.- affected b.v that fact to-day. 1 The imitoveriehnientof the South in consequence of the Civil War is of national us well as sectional 1 concern. It is eminently fitting 1 and proper t hat Northern men should continue to contribute large sums toward tlieeducation al advancement of the Southern negroes. The amount thusgiven since 180." in the aggregate has been very large. It hits all been lies towed with excellent inten tions, but some of it lias been un- 1 wisely used. It is not wholly creditable to some excellent peo ple in tlie South that they have so little appreciated the spirit in which much of thiH Northern giv ing to Southern negro education has been carried on. On the other hand it is by no means to the credit of some of the Northern agencies of South ern negro education that they have worked in the South for a quarter of a century or more without mnkin,<r their way into the sympathy and confidence of the South Til people. The mark of real confidence and real educa tional common sense will come when the management of these institutions planted in the South bv Northern donors isgiven over very largely lo S jut hern men. Immense aggregations of wealth are to ite found in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chi cago, and other cities lying to the north of Virginia and the Ohio River. Ii does not follow, however, that this wealth is local in iis origin. Mr. Carnegie's largest gifts, as it happens, have been for the people of Pittsburg and vicinity, and Mr. Rockefeller has given more tc the University of Chicago than to any other one institution, while the Stanford millions have gone tc an institu tion in California; Mr. Pierpont Morgan's beneficences have t o a great extent been bestowed upon New York objects, the late Mr. Armour gave most generously to Chicago philanthropies, and so on. But there is no proper reason way the institutions of the South should not benefit equally with those of i he North by reason of the amassing of greatfortunes in the hands of men of liberal inclina tions. To the wealth that has accumu lated in private hands from transportation and industry, the South has contributed its due share; and this should be remem bered.?From "The Progress of the World,"' in the American Re view of Reviews for .1 une. The Two Best in Une. People who formerly consider ed the Chicago Record to be America's model daily or who believed The Chicago Times-Her ald to be premier among A men- 1 can newspapers now have an op portunity of judging every day now remarkably complete and excellent in every department is that great metropolitan daily, The Chicago Record-Herald, which combines "the two best in one." All the popular features ( ot Dotn me unicago necora ana j The Chicago Times-Herald are , included ia The Chicago Record- [ Herald. In the Sunday issues ( especially th.e great advantages of the combination of all the re sources and world-wide facilities of the two papers united in the ( combination are made manifest. The world's news is covered with , unexampled fullness, due to the fact that never before in the his- ' tory of journalism did an Ameri- ( can newspaper possess news facil- ( ities so varied and extensive. i " It is with agooddealof pleas ure and satisfaction that I recom- 1 mend Chamlieilain'sColic,Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy," says , Druggist A. \V. Saw telle, of Hart ford, Conn. " A laly customer, j seeing the remedy exposed for i sale on my show case, said to , me: 'I really believe that medi- , cine saved my life the past sum- , mer while at the shore,' and she became so enthusiastic over its merits tl at I ,t once made up my mind to recommend it in the future. Recently a gentleman came into my store so overcome with colic pains that he sank at once to the floor. I gave him u dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated tne dose and in fifteen minutes he left my store smilingly informing ine that he felt as well as ever." Sold by Hood Bros. 1 keep Angle Lamps, Burners and all fixtures always on hand. Mas.

Ksseiitially <111 out- I of-tloor fair, the electrical display surpasses ex|>ectatioii. All that art and ingenuity can d> to, I heighten the effect has Ix-en done. 1 As the half-hour of gloaming I conies on, the buildings will be 1 deserted; even in the Midway, the splenetic barker, that "Man that while the puppets play. Through nose f.vj?ouii?l(;th what thev say," < forsakes his post and takes his ' stand in the Court of Fountains ! And then, when the dusk has 1 deepened, a faint glow appears ' on the lamp-posts?rosettes of j electric bulbs?then on archwavs 1 and eaves and pinnacles; the 1 panels of the doilies ure outlined, 1 gildetl groups high up on the 1 buildings begin to shine, and the Tower becomes effiulgeut. The ! glow increases, star-points spar- ' kle from every building, the roofs and sides, trie porticos, the en trances are bat lied incandescent I tire, while the Tower, now fairly ablaze from base to top, stands a radiant monument to that new force whose name it bears. Let the vistor behold theilumination from where he will?if through the archway of trie Stadium's massive sere 11, the Tower stands out us that of the mirage city of a weary caravan; if from the Meadow Road in the neighboring park, it is as if Mustafa's son had rubbed his wonderful lamp and bidden a citv beautiful to be: wheneeever it in seen, the effect is j the same, the memory of it deep ] and lusting. What matters it to recall the number of the hundreds of thousands of electric bulbs \ which are emulously uglow, or to speculate on what the night J scenes of this exposition will be when the electric fountains are really playing and the scores of hidden searchlights mingle their sparkling irredescence with the irolden glow of these early days! The world has never seen a sight like this, nor will it again until another Niagara shall elsewhere render decorative lighting cheap enough to warrant, as at liuffa-1 lo, the attempt, almost success ful, to make the lights of night more imperiously beautiful than are the lights of day.?From "The l'an-American on dedica tion Day," by William H. llotch kiss, in the \merican Monthly Review of reviews for June. Shudders at His Past " I recall now with horror," says Mail Carrier Burnett Mann, of Levunnu, ()., "my three years of suffeiing from Kidney trouble. 1 was hardly ever free from dull aches or acute pains in my back.

During President McKinley's visit to El Paso, Texas, a sign was displayed claiming that it t was the largest city in the largest 1 county in the largest Congres- i sional district in the largest t State in the Union. The Presi J i ? 1_ ? . A 1 I. . . J uenc, in ins response to me uu rtress of welcome, further compli mented it as the cosmopolitan city. Certainly in considering its claims to these distinctions, the 1 ?asual reader will be surprised at 1 the facts presented to sustain them. It is the nearest city in America to a foreign frontier, the ' cities and townsalongour north- 1 ?rn border being separated from 1 Canada by the Lakes and the j' St. Lawrence. But El Paso has j ? only the narrow Bio Grande, i J 1,000 miles from its mouth, as !' the boundary between it and the Mexican city of luarez on its other bank. 1 The county of the same name ' in which El Paso lies is larger! than any State in New England pxcept Maine, while the Con- ' gressional district in which it lies, ' comprising SO counties, is larger 1 than New York and New Eng land combined. As to the State, 1 it has six times the area of New York and is larger than France by 70,000 square miles. From El Paso to the eastern boundary of Texas it is over 800 miles by I rail in a direct course. West- j ward to the Pacific it is about the same distance. At no point, from Washington to Los Angeles, it is said, were the Presidential party more impressed than at this unique city.?Ixjuisville Cou-. rier-Journal. Grantham, Austin & Co. have a nobby line of Ties. The prettiest you have seen. London Tenement Cities. Mr John Martin, writing in The World's Work for June, tells the remarkable way by which London helps to house its poor. The Council has acquired land, lie says, for no less than the act nil creation of two cities one in the south of liondon at Tooting, md the other in the north at Wood (ireen. The plans for these are drawn and show that on the former | "i,WOO persons will reside und on the latter 42,.">00. At Wood Green, where $7,500,000 will be invested, a space will be left iu the center for public buildings ( t library has already been prom ised by Mr. l'assmore Iklwards) and a park will t>e laid out a' the edge of the estate where a little stream winds through it. This will be a very garden city, self supporting from the first and likely to yield large revenues ulti mately to the public landlord. The inhabitants will enjoy self government. They will neither be debauched by charity or op pressed by rackrents. The ad vantage to them will be to have a model landlord in a model city; the advantage to the general tax payer will be the creation of a municipal estate without cost to him; and the advantage to the whole community will lie in some relief to overcrowding. Fought For His Lite. " My father and sister both died of Consumption," writes J. T. Weatherwax, of Wyandotte, Mich., "and I was saved from t fie same frightful fate only by Dr. King's New Discovery. An attack of Pneumonia left an ob stinate cough and very severe j lung trouble, which an excellent | doctor could not help, but a tew I months' use of this wonderful medicine made me as well as ever and I gained much in weight."

Du Hois, In The World's Work. 1 remember once meeting a lit tle one-mule wagon on the Itiver road. A young black fellow sat in it driving listlessly, his elbows on his knees. His dark-faced wife sat beside him stolid, silent. "Hello!" cried my driver?he has a most impudent way of ad dressing these people, though they seem used to it?"what have you got there?" "Meat and meal," answered the man, stopping. The meat lay uncovered in the bottom of the wagon, a great thin side of fat pork covered with salt; the meal was in a white bushel bag. "What did you pay for that] meat?" "Ten cents a pound." Itcould have been bought for $3 cash, i and raised for $1 or $1.50. "And the meal?" "Two dollars." One dollar and ten cents is thecash price in town. So here was a man paying $5 for [foods which hecoulu have Dought tor $3, and raised for $ lor $1.50.

Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta (Cia ) Gas Light Co.. was poisoned wish Poison Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various other drugs, and applied externally numerous lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the swelling and iurlammatioit was so severe he was almost 1 tin 1 F >r eijht years the poison would break o t every season, lb# condition was much improve 1 after taking one bottle of g. C.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA, CA. BOLD DIT OF SURGERY. Resuscitation Effected by Manipulat ing a Man's Heart. A remarkable 6tory is told in a Danish medical periodical relative to the treatment of a patient who had become asphyxiated from the administration of chloroform. The operating surgeon was a certain Dr. Maag, but the method which he em ployed had previously been suggest ed by Dr. Prus of Lemberg. A laborer 27 years old who had suffered from sciatica was to be op erated upon to relieve that trouble. Chloroform was given and the op eration begun. The patient strug gled, however, and when the proc ess of anaesthesia was carried fur ther he stopped breathing. Several expedients were resorted to in order to restore respiration, but in vain. And there was no longer any pulse. In this emergency Dr. Maag open ed the chest, detached portions of the third and fourth ribs 2 1-2 inch es long and turned them back with the flap of flesh. Through the open ing thus made he thrust his hand. The heart was firmly grasped and compressed rhythmically. After a few squeezes that organ began to beat naturally. It was necessary to employ compression again at times, and also to inflate the lungs artifi cially. But by these means the pa tient was kept alive for 11 1-2 hours, and Dr. Maag is inclined to believe that the man would have recovered were it not that one of the pleura was accidentally punctured. Pork and Poets. A lady who during her little girl hood was for a few days in the same house with the poet Whittier tells an nmusing anecdote at the expense of her childish self. She was of a dainty palate and a vehement tongue and one day at dinner had declined to touch the chief dish served, declaring it was a kind of meat she "hated." 'mat atternoon stie was curica up in a corner of the parlor sofa study ing her grammar lesson when Mr. Whittier came in and paused to speak to her. He inquired kindly what brought such an anxious pucker to her forehead, and she re plied that she was parsing?parsing, poetry. "It's a great deal worse to parse than anything else," she added, quite forgetting in her vexation to whom she spoke. "I don't see why people ever write it! They say things wrong end to and hind side before and every which way, that they might just ns well say right out plain and not bother anybody. I nate poets!" "Oh, no, no, no! Not hate!" pro tested the poet of the New England home, with n deprecating voice and a humorous gleam in his eye. "I dare say, they're troublesome, but thee needn't hate them. Thee shouldn't hate anything except wickedness, Abby?not even pork and poets."?Youth's Companion. Skin affections will readily dis appear by using DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.
