. itT i and Sillllifi k. - - r- 1 ' ' . Aim i trasre ccuuawons HE future occupations and interests of the medical profession are to be' in some respects different from those of the past, and . they are to be more various. The ordinary physician has for the last hundred years been almost exclusively a man devoted to the treatment of diseases already developed in human bodies or of 'f4ViiYr'o"ir"'v'"Wrt.fl Ho mftdA.hlfl diagnosis, and " then : ' j sougnp remedies ' ana -a cure, ie was me sjmu. - . ful -helper of sick or injured persons. Most of the cases that came under his care were cases considered plain as to symptoms, period and accepted treai tment The-minority, cases, were obscure, and called for unusual knowi edge ad skill in discerning the seat of the disorder, or the approximate cause ,of the bodily disturbance. Hence the special value of the experienced on"" ant,, who was ordinarily a, man of some peculiar natural gift of body, pr temperament, possessing also in high degree the faculty of keen observauoa and the habit of eliminating irrelevant considerations, ana uiumdiwy uult? Tils vsrnv rt tho aooivmtp limited inference from the facts before him. 9fn. .tie. ordinary physician and the consultant have already been Jck helped J) y the , extraordinary progress made in medical science during tt .a2 -r years, but they have been helped chiefly to a surer recognition of diseases es tablished in human bodies, and to a better treatment of their patients us ases when recognized. The physician or surgeon commonly renders a personal service to an in dividual, sometimes for a pecuniary recompense, but often without money compensation. He is often a trusted adviser in the most intimate family con cerns. Births and death alike bring the physician into the home. In rear ing these services he must be tender, sympathetic, considerate, pure-minded, and judicious. There will ' always - be need, crying need, of .the physician and . surgeon in this sense, and for these functions; and whatever else the regular education of the physician provides in the future, it must - provide all: the , elements of, tfhe best training for the practising physician who is to treat is 'eased or crippled human bodies, and. give advico about the sudden and the 1 chronic ills -which afflict humanity. So much will continue to be demanded of all good medical schools; but much more they must do. The progress of what Ve call civilization exposes human beings more and more to the ravages of disease. When savages come in contact with men palled, civilized, they invariably suffer from diseases new to them. When a rural population crowds into cities, it falls a victim to diseases from which in the country It had been exempt. When hundreds of thousands of people huddle into" small' areas. 'and create there smoke, dust and noise, they suffer not. Only from diseases, but from the exacerbation of diseases not wholly unknown-to them in the rural condition., Under such favorable conditions of residence and labor the human body degenerates in many respects, and, pos ing vigor; becomes In some respects less able to resist the attacks of disease.'-" V hipC&n&l Between the eiaware-oays sapeake s LP commercial usefulness of a broad and deep waterway between ie bays (the I Chesapeake and the Delaware) named will be; ap preciated when we point out the services that have been ren dered even "by the small Chesapeake . and Delaware Canal, which has epted for about three-quarters of a century, and which has a depttkof only ten feet, and a width of not more than thirty-six j.!- i : feet at fae bottom. The construction of this canal began in AprilplS24, and was completed in October, 189. During the period of its existence 708,000 vessels, carrying merchandise to the aggregate weight of 4C, 000,000 tons, have passelu through ; it. Its largest traffic in any. one year was l,31'8i000 tons in 1872; but although the traffic has since decreased, it amount ed, even' last year, to morV than 700,000 tons, carried in 5447 vessels, besides tens of thousands of passeifeers conveyed through the waterway on the Erics son Line steamships. The initial cost of this canal, which is thirteen and five eighths miles long, was only$2,500,000, and the total subsequent expenditure for repairs has only been about a million- and a half of dollars. No fewer than seven canal routes have bCen surveyed at various times across the penin sular separating the Delaware &nd Chesapeake bays. They vary in length from 13 5-8 miles to 53 3-4 miles and the estimated cost of construction ranges from about $S,000,000 up to $42,000,000. It is, as we have said, only the two shortest routes which the present canal commission is directed to ex amine. When the new ChesapeakeX and Delaware Canal shall have Been fin ished, an artificial waterway deep aW wide enough for battle-ships will next be called for between Philadelphia ani New York. The Delaware and Raritan route may be selected for that purposes or perhaps a more northerly line might be preferred. Harper's Weekly. Heed of Social Inspiration for Art By M.Jean Devalve. N proportion as the artist observes with greater piety, as he pene trates and identifies himself with nature, surrenders nimsei; vu her, does he find unity in her laws, correspondence between her : sensible manifestations and the yearnings of his own soul. In the shape of the earth, in the movements of water, in the play, of the sun's rays in the many aspects of life, animal and . -r V. in r , , , . human, he will discover himself. we expresses umisen , - copying things, for he understands the union between his thought and all the forms of nature, and realizes that In the marvelous multiplicity of appear ances there is but one life, one will. .... - And this comprehension of nature is the new center, the unique center, In which henceforth the union of souls will take place. This comprehension is the true internal discipline of the spirit a discipline far stronger than , any external one. The artists thus have a ground of reunion in love and profound reverence for nature. , And the same ground will serve as the principle of ' their future union with the people. It is not possible or conceivable that art subjected with fervor to. the truth of. .nature should not respond fully to the ; neeOS Ot.

But it should be borne in mind that the ' secret " of popular art ' is . not in trying to please . or astonish or educate the people, but, without any extraneous designs, in all sincerity and passion, in understanding nature and expressing the truth.

N Japan there is no co-education of the sexes, except for young children of the primary grade. Boys and girls above the mid dle grade have separate schools, each with its separata pro gramme or curriculum. One of the most surprising things to me in your American School system, so far as I have Inspected it, is the fact that the education for girls and for boys is nrac- -'' 1 tically identical. They are both taught the same things! In my country, the reverse is the case. The boys are specifically trained for ' business, for the army, for diplomacy. . The girls are fitted to become good 'wives, and mbthersv That 'is the chief end of all the educational facilities provided for them, even in the highest grades. . ' . Cooking and sewing occupy 4 an important place in the rudimentary in struction of Japanese girls. With these s combined the care and trainine of their younger brothers and sisters. The theoretical study of pedagogy is combined; with, actual kindergarten practice. Medicine and surgery, in their t- simpler domestic applications, are also considered a proper part of these "lit tle mothers' " equipment for family life and management. . English is the only foreign language taught In ur girl's high schools Their teachers are of both sexes. The average age of graduation Is from sixteen to eighteen - The Formosan government is now spending a large sum of . money for a t new; high : school j on the, American plan whose faculty board will include a number of lady teachers from the United 'States. This' experiment is inde pendent of the State' educational system of Japan. v I! NORTH 1 I. ns Items of Interest Prom Many Parts of the State MINOR MATTERS OF STATE NEWS Happenings of More or -Less Import- ance Told' in Paragraphs--The Cot i f ton. $f ark H ptMi-V'i .v ; To Pnsh Immigration Matter. Raleigh, Special. It "seems certain that the next Legislature: will jbe pres sed to pr.sh the matter'of immigra tion to North Carolina, following the lead of South Carolina, where the movement seems to be so successful. There will also be a very earnest ef fort -to secure immigrants from the -Northwest and ; North, particularly English, Germans and Scandinavians, who;. have been in .the, country ..long enough to become somewhat . acclima ted and to know enough of the langu age to make themeslves understood. It is the opinion of many observant people that this class is more desir able than those from abroad, as the latter will have so much more to learn in every way. The New . England States are now congested with, for eigners, and out West the good , land has to a very great degree been" taken up by homesteaders and great num bers of the' people are pouring over into Canada. If this movement could be diverted Southward it would mean a good deal. Governor Glenn feels that North Carolina needs a quarter of a million of sturdy immigrants. A concerted movement, literally ad vertising and active work by agents will mean a great deal. It is Gov ernor Grenn's desire that Secretary Bruner, of the board of agriculture, shall make a tour of the Northwest illustrating North Carolina by a dis play of resources and perhaps by steropticon views and by the very free distribution of literature. A Chapter of Tragedies. A special from Asheville gives the following: Dela3-cd communications from Dillsboio, received here indicate that Jackson county was made a veritable battle ground this week. One man was shot and instantly killed, while another man shot several times, is not exepcted to live, and .a third yas cut so badly that he wili hardly 're cover. In Savannah township Sundaj' night Coleman Frady was shot and instantly killed by his brother, Rob ert Frady. The brothers were the best of friends up to the moment Jof the killing. They were drinking and playing cards, when a dispute arose and Robert drew his gun and killed Frady. v In Canada: township Christmas day John Brown was shot several times by Henry Rheinehart and .is not ex pected to live. Rheinhart and Brown engaged in a pistol duel in Rhine hart's store, when both emptied their revolvers. Brown was. shot through both shoulders. A few hours after wards the men met again and for a second time a pistol duel was fought, Rheinhart shooting Brown in the mouth, inflicting a 'probable fatal in jury. A day before the Brown-Rheinhart shooting, Elijah Owens was stabbed to the hollow several times by a man named Brackens. Owens was fear fully cut. He had the reputation of being Canada township's bad man. Mills Shut Down. Concord, Special. On account of the scarcity f coal and the inability of the railroads to deliver the coal the Cannon Mills Nos. 2 and 3 and the Franklin Mill were compelled to close down Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. This, of course, means an indefinite period, and. will necessarily throw many employes out of work for the time being. Child Burned To Death. "Winston-Salem, Special. The 4-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Nunn, of "Walkertown, was burn ed to death. The child-was out in the yard with her mother, who was burning some leaves and trash. The little ones clothes ignited and soon her body was wrapped in flames. Ef fort was made to extinguish the fire, but the child's clothing was practi cally burned off before the flames few minutes. Mr. Nunn is, manager of a flouring mill and is a nighly es teemed " citizen of Walkertown. Brought to 'Spartanburg. Spartanburg, Special. George T. Dallas and Otis L. Dallis, who were' arrested in Crowley, La., several days ago charged with taking $9,000 from the local express office, were brought to' Spartanburg by Deputy Sheriff W. J. White. The youmr men ,Avere re leased on bonds of $500 and $1,000 respectively. The bonds were signed by M. L: Dallis and Stanyarn Wilson. S P U R f 0 U S CO I N I N C (RC U LAT 1 6 W fames W. Muse, of Asheville AiTest ed, Charged With Passing, Coun terfeit Money.- Asheville, Special James W. Muse probably 30 years of age, has been arrested here charged with passing counterfeit money. He has been given . a hearing before a United States commissioner ,and held under 11,000 bond, to await the action of the grand jury at the May term of . United States District Court. It. is al-; leged that. Muse -passed several half dollar and "dollar pieces in the rail.--way section of the city, and it was Upon .this .evidence in particular that his arrest was effected. , Several of the spurious coins were recovered and are now in possession of the officers. The " queer'' ' is a good counterfeit, and. would easily pass undetected. It. Ijias been, known for some time that spurious money wa being circulate J in and around Asheville, and the of. ficers have been on ihe lookout for the guilty ones. The counterfeit that has recently been passed is' of half hollar and dollar silver pieces. Musa makes no denial of paying money to certain persons, from whom the coun terfeit was obtained, .but contends that he did not know the money was counterfeit. He alleges that he is in nocent of the crime and that he will be able to satisfy a jury of this al leged fact when placed on trial. He came to Asheville from Salisbury several years ago and has been em ployed by the Southern Railway since that time. At the time of his arrest he was a flagman on the Asheville division. The officers say they are confident that Muse has had in hi possession a considerable quantity of the counterfeit, and that he knew it tras- counterfeit. They do not think however, that he has made the mon ey. It is supposed that he was a mere representative of the makers of spurious money. Two Trains Collide. Greensboro, Special. The Winston-Salem passenger train and a southbound freight train had a head on collision Monday near the coal shutc, in which two passengers were BligSitly injured. C. W. Rawlings, chief clerk to Superintendent An drews, was thrown from his seat. H.is head struck a window and an ugly gash was cut on his forehead. Mr. Rawlings' head struck the window with such force that the woodwork was shattered, and he was rendered unconscious. A physician treated him. The other injured man, whose name was not learned, also received a cut on the head. The responsibility for the accident has not been fixed. It is thought to have been due to a mis understanding in regard to orders. Dies in Paris, France. Winston-Salem, Special. A cable gram from Paris, received Tuesday by Geo. P.

Special The Sea board Air Line's fast mail No. 32, northbound from Atlanta to Rich mond, crashed : into a string of load ed freight cars at Peachland, a flag station .19 miles east of Monroe, late Saturday -night,,. partially wrecking the passenger - train and" killing En gineer S. E, Maxwell of Raleigh. Running 50 miles an hour, Engineer Maxwell sighted" the freight" train as he rounded the curve near 'Peachland and with concern only for the pas sengers. , whose lives were in his care, he applied the emergency brakes in an effort to moderate the impending crash. The speed was reduced to 10 miles an hour when the train struck and the fireman jumped without be ing hurt. Maxwell stuck to his post of duty, was caught between the en gine and tender and slowly roasted to death in view of the rescurers, who strained ''every nerve to reach him. Helplessly pinned in an upright po sition with both feet in the firebox, the brave: man lived four hours, ful ly -conscious, talking cheerfully to the rescurers, his last words being a message to his wife and child at Ra leigh.

None of the train crew or passengers were in jured, the box in front preventing the passcger coaches from running off. One negro, Tom Macon, was caught under the tender and killed instantly. It is miraculous that the hacks and waiting carriages in the street escaped injury, but none1 was hurt. The air brakes were not work ing nor had they been for more than a week and the sand box on the en gine was devoid of sand. There is a steep grade for about one mile com ing down to the station and it was upon this grade that the train attain ed a terrific rate of speed, whieh a reverse of the engine and the hand brakes on the box car, whose wheels were sliding along the rails, failed to check in time.
