New York World A famous New York physician, now hale ami handsome at 75, Bums up his half a century in medical practice and observation in these simple rules of health: 1. Be temperate in all things, in mat ters of amusement or study as well as in regard to foods and drinks. To be temperate in all things, however, does not imply that one must be a prohibi tionist about anything. J. Don't be afraid fo go to sleep, for Bleep is the best restorer of wasted ener gies.

When the future historian shall come to survey the character of Lee he will find it rising like a huge mountain above the undulating plain of humanity, and he must lift his eyes toward heaven t catch its summit. He possessed every virtue of other great commanders with out their vices. He was a foe without hate, a friend without treachery, a sol- lier without cruelty, a victor without )ppre8Bion, a victim without murmur- inc. He was a public otneer without vices, a private citizen without wrong, a neighbor without reproach, a Chris- tian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile. He was a Caesar with out his ambition, Frederick without his tyranny, Napoleon without his selfish ness, and Washington without his re ward. He was obedient to authority as a servant and royal in authority as a true king. He was as gentle as a wo man in life, modest and pure as a vir gin in thought, watchful as a Roman vestal in duty, submissive to law as Socrates and grand in battle as chilles An Appropriate Hymn. "The most apropos happening which I remember to have come into my fifty- seven years," said Bishop Brewster of Connecticut, "was a little detail in a church service. It sounds too good to be true. It was in the July of r.H2, when I chanced to be in England. King Edward's coronation had teen postponed because of his illness, from appendicitis, and then came the opera tion, and then the Bervices of rejoicing over his recovery. I attended one of these, and it is a fact that the clergy man in charge, announcing the hymn from the chancel, said to us, 'Let us sing "Peace, Perfect Peace" in the ap pendix.' As the congregation was Eoglish few noticed the joke but me." or the future. To waste a single hour in regret for the past is as senseless as to send good money after that which has been irrecoverably lost. To fret one's self about what the future may have in store is about as reasonable as to attempt to brush back the tide of the ocean with a broom. Worry, of what ever kind, banishes contentment, and contentment is a necessity of youth. 4. Keep the mind youthful. Live in the present with all the other young people. Don't get to be reminiscent Let the old people talk about the past, for the mere act of thinking about old things reminds the mind of its years Reminiscences are dangerous whether they are Boothing or sweet or aad for they characterize old age, and muBt be sedulously avoided by those who would be ever young. 5. Keep up with the times. Don't fall behind the procession. To accom plish this learn one new fact every day. Tbe mind that is satisfied to live upon the lessons learned in its youth Boon grows old and musty. To keep young it must be fresh and active that is abreast with times. The old methods of thought and the old facts may have been correct enough once upon a time but that time has passed. To-day they are obsolete and only amusing aa relics of antiquity. To remain young, there fore, one must keep the store house of the memory clear of all such rubbish. Throw away one of the mildewed relics every day and replace it with some newer fresher and more un to-date fact. Here, then, is this New York physi cian's secret of perennial youth in a nut shell: Be temterate' Don't be afraid to go to sleep! Don't worry! Keep the mind youthful' And keep up with the times! It is not a difficult rule of life to fol low. It is ever so much easier than wandering about the strange lands in search of hidden springs. It is some what p'.easauter than stewing over ill- smellii g crucibles. Moreover, it has the advantage of being thoroughly practicable, which makes it well worth trying. NECROK1 AS COTTON ItllLL HANDS. THE VIRGINIA ELECTION. "harlotte Observer. One must needs at times eo from home to hear the news, and the follow ing is a caee in point the quotation is from the Chicago Record-Ht raid. "Several textile mills to be established in North Carolina and elsewhere are to employ negro labor almost exclusively, and it appears that employers-of labor in Alabama, Arkansas and Texas have been giving strong testimony in favor of the colored factory employe. One employer wrote recently to a Baltimore paper: 'Any two negroes are worth more to the manufacturer as day labor ers than any three Soutnern white men.' Another employer declared that the ne gro was by far the best workman he could obtain in Alabama." The Charleston News and Courier takes knowledge of this bit of informa tion, and observes that the experiment with negro labor in cotton millB in Charleston and Columbia failed miser ably, and adverts to ihe hUtory of the Coleman Cotton Mill in oup neighbor ing town, Concord, owned and operated exclusively by negroes. A paragrph in Thk Concokd Timks a few days ago gives to the hUt'jry of that venture a tragic asect. It had been initiated and engineered by Warren C Coleman, a colored man, who, by the exercise of industry and good judgment- had ac quired quite a little fortune . He risked it all, lost it all, and died. Qur Con cord contemporary gave it to be under stood that this failure and disappoint ment were contributing causes, if not the causes, of his death. Some of the stock in the mill was sold at auction the other day and one blrck of 95 shares brought, if we remember the figures, ten cents not ten cents a share, but ten cents for the lJ3 shares, this is to say it was absolutely worthJtss. The negro as a cotton-raiser is in comparable; as a cotton- spinner, a failure. Some wit has explained this by saying that the invarying whirr of the machinery put him to sleep. The more probable cau is given by another in saying that the gro will not stick for sixty-six hours wfek in a building where nothing i6 to s herd except the monotonous hum just referred to, when he can have so much liberty and find so easy means of subsistence in tne open. But whatever the cause, the black man cannot be locked to as a re liable cotton factory operative, and for that work reliability is the first re quisite. fcJnno: Ull Sept 1- -t CHICHESTER 8 ENGLISH EfJflYROYAL PILLS 8AfK.

H., lived a man named B?n Fiske, who was the typical New Eog landf r. One day a visitor at his house aaked him if he had a large family. No." he replied. "I have only three girls, but I have 100 sons-in-laws." "How is that?'' asked the stranger, astonished. "Well, 6tranger, it is this way: My oldest girl married a pretty good sort of a man. He counts one. The other two married good-for-nothing men. They are nothing but ciphers. As and two ciphers make 100, you've got it." Now hasn't the South Carolina' State dispensary made a glorious showing before the investigating committee sit ting at Columbia? It was developed that the dispensary board, at tne be ginning of the hearing Tuesday, owed $500,000, had orders out for $200,000 worth of stuff, and had $1,200 cash on hand. But during the morning session of the committee a check for $26,000 was Bent to the State Treasurer. Why not until then? The law requires quar terly reports to this officer, showing the profits. There had been no report since the 10th of last January and no profits reported as accruing sines lat November. The condition of affiirs as disclosed by the committee investigat ing the great moral institution shows one of the most elaborate systems ct grafting in modern times. Charlotte Observer. There ia one right way of doing a thing; there axe fifty-seven varieties of wrong ways. Kuugegted to the Conductor Chicago Chronicle Ex Senator William F. Sanders, of Montana, who died a few days ago in Helena, i was a noted hotel character in territorial days. He was never known to "take water" and was proud of the fact. At a funeral which he once at tended he said to a fellow pall-beare as they turned away from the grave "Some day they will bring me out here and throw dirt on me, but they can nover say I ate any of it. " He once handfd a rather tattered bill to a rail ro d conductor, who commented on its dilapidated appearance. "Well," Baid Mr. Sanders, "if you dou't like it turn it in to the company." The "Scalp PlmK ." Charlotte Chronicle. In Rowan county they have once a year what is known as a "scalp picnic," at which the farmer who has taken the greatest number df scalps is given a prize. The report made at the picnic, last week, showed 6,45'. "6Calps" for the previous year. One man killed 116 crows, lie must nave great pre nciency as a "sneaker," for of all birds, the crow is the hardest to outwit. Another man had a penchent for tlying equirrels and bagged 117 during the year. Jay birds was the specialty of another, who reported having slain 217. Yet another man had a fancy for moles, and suc ceeded in digging up and killing 72 of these dilligent little burrowcrs. The owl, the natural eneny of the mole, was not overlooked, and there were weasels, rats, minks, and hawks in great numbers. Ihe object of this scalp contest, we believe, is to reduce the crop of pestiferous animals and birds in Rowan, and the idea is a good one, but Hying equirrels and jaybirds ought to be struck from the list, while more encouragement ought to be given the hawk and rat specialties. ' Atlanta Journal. The Democrats of Virginia have held their primary election for the nomina tion of a governor and other State offi cials and the result practically means that the officers of that State for the next term have been selected. The Re publican!, of course, will put out a ticket, but there is no hope whatever in their ranks that it will come anywhere near to victory against the ticket the Democrats have just named. The most important results of the primary were the nominations of Swan son and Martin for the offices of gov ernor and United States senator, respectively. Mr. Swanson has repre sented a Virginia district of Congress for Beveral terms and having always taken a prominent stand in that body there is no question of his ability to make the Old Dominion a most credit able chief executive. Senator Martin will suooted himself in the United States Benate, having beaten Governor Montague in the race for the nomination. It was a hot strug gle from the very beginning, and while Montague had all the advantage of a spendid administration in the govern or's office, Martin had a similar record as senator to aid him and the people gave him the place again. While there is no doubt that he was the machine candidate, still he has servtd the State well and has made a record in the Sen ate that Virginia can well afford to en-1 dor Be by returning him for another six years. Tbe Poel'a Latest Lay. In some portions of America it has been supposed that the national bird of Missouri is the male. This 1b not so, however. A newspaper from Centralia prints the following "ode" as proof that the mule is not the greatest citizen of the state: Long before Maud raked the hay the Missouri hen began to lay, and before the milkmaid had stirred a peg the Missouri hen had laid an egg. The corn must rustle, the flowers must spriDg, if they hold their own with the barn-yard ring If Maud is in need of a Sunday gown she doesn't hustle the hay to town, but goes to the store and buys her suit with a baeketfull of fresh hen fruit. If the milkmaid's beau makes a Sunday call she doesn't feed him on milk at all, but work up eggs in custard pie, and stuffs him on that and chicken fry. And when the old man robs a nest and goes to town in his speckled vest to gape and etare at the circus rings or stand round talking of crops and things, his poor wife stays at home and scowls, but is saved from want by those selfsame fowls, tor while her husband lingers there she follows the cackling hen with care Then hail, all hail the Missouri hen! Acclaim her, poet, with your pen Throw ud vour hat. emit a howl for the presevering, useful fowl. Cotton may be king, I ween but the cackliDg hen is Missouri's queen. PROFESSIONAL CARDS.
