Tn Russia, as in France, Italy and Spain, titles carry no privileges, either official or social. Railroads in Holland are so carefully managed that the accidental deaths on them average only one a year fc the entire count rr. The statement is made in the Courier -Journal that the products of Southern factories dot exceed the products of it soil. Officials of the Smithsonian tnstitu ticu at Washington have discovered evidences which lead them to believe that the mound builders were the pro genitors of the modern Indians. It is not generally known that Bal timore has become the headquarters of the spiritualists of tho United States. Believers have proposed the erection of a SI. 000,030 church in that city. . Kentucky is said to have been the rst Stats in tie Union to grant school suffrage 1 3 women in 1843. Kansas followed in 1861. To-day the women of twenty-one States have this privi lege. The lectrtie business has vastly changed in the last few years. It is difficnlt. avers the Chicago Herald, for any lecturer to get $100 a night now, and a season of fifty lectures is a long cne. Few lecturers are good for more than one season at high rates. Census figures quoted by Edward Atkinson, in the Forum, shoT that ths amount of real estate encumbrances in the eleven counties in and immedi ately around New York City exceed the total mortgage indebtedness on all the farms in the United States. . Although the native American sailor threatens to become extinct, the native American master of sailing craft still exists, the Chicago Herald is proud to announce. Whalers hailing from the ports of the United States are com monly commanded by natives, but the Prew is often made up of men belong ing to half a dozen European nation alities. Feeding the hog is being revolution ized, notes the Chicago Herald. For merly anything that could be fed to swine was allowed, without regard to the filth contained, sour swill, filled with disease germs, being the prin cipal diet. Intelligent farmers now feed clover, corn, wheat, vegetables, ground grain and whey or skim milk, given in clean troughs with plenty ol clean water available at all times. It is estimated that the loss of prop erty by fire last year throughout the whole country reached the enormous mm of $lrt7, 000,000. This is not sim ply guesswork, declares the New York Tribune, but th9 result of careful es timates mads by a committee of tha National Board of Fire Underwriters, an t shows an increase of $16,000,0 33 i over the total given for 1892. It is I not surprising that the fire insuranca companies ar9 alarms! at the losses they are compelled to sustain, and recognize th9 ne9 1 of enforcing a more uniform application of rules and metho Is. A statistical review of the agricul tural situation, given out by the Na tional Board of Agriculture, says: "With wheat selling at. fifty-seven cents and corn at thirty-six cents a bushel in Chicago, a rotation of crops rather than a persistence in exclusive wheat growing would be more profit able to our farmers." Very likely this is good advice, comments the Chi cago Record. Those competent to judge cf the matter should also see if it is not true that the farmer markets too much raw material products in their primary condition. Corn is not a profitable crop if sold as corn, but converted into pork it is usually high ly profitable. To convert wheat into a secondary form it must bs made into flour. This is now done with great profit by the miller. And the baker converts the flour into bread at a large profit. The farmer cannot convert his wheat into flour, but must pay for having it done for him. Per haps it would be safe to say that the farm product which maybe made most profitable is that which can be con verted into the greatest variety of marketable products. There was a time when the farmer raised corn, fed it to hoge, killed the hogs, cared the meats, rendered the lard and sold thoso ultimate products. Now he aims to sell his product in its primary condition. Possibly the idea of con verting the crop into another form could be worked cat with profit by very many farmers. PITHY NEWS ITEMS. Kellv's Industrials are !? the point of collapse near Cairo, 111. They ar.e kept out of the city by armed force. The less at Cleinson, S.

Give them a trial. The railroad commission at Raleigh, N. C, received notice from the officers of the North Carolina Railroad that they were unable to comply with the law and return the property of the road for taxation, the cause of this failure being the serving upon them of a no tice by some of the private stockhold ers. The injunction forbids them to list the property for taxation, the stockholders who have obtained it claiming that exemption is granted in the companys charter. The matter comes up before Judge Dick, at cham bers, at Greensboro, July 1. This will bring up the entire question and naturally there will be considerable public interest, as all therailroadssave this one pays taxes. TERM! NHL REORGANIZE TlOH. AU the Principal Securities Hare Been De posited. New York. The Richmond ami Terminal reorganize Hon plan is ex pected to be declared operative within a few weeks. All the principal secu rites essential to the plan have been deposited in sufficient quantities to peimit the committee to go ahead..

An adjustment of theiailroad assess ments in South Carolina has been made. The Slate railroad board of equaliza tion has granted concessions to the roads that indicate a desire to treat these corporations with fairness and justice. Reductions were made on a number of the lines. The most impor tant were: Charlotte, Columbia & Au gusta, $178,000; Charlotte Air Liue, $248,000; Columbia & Greenville, $70, 000; Northeastern. $102,000; Three Ce. $270,000; Chester & Lenoir and Cbe raw k Chester, $65,600; Wilmington, Columbia k Augusta, $350,000.

Bill App in A'liuta lonsti ution. Sjptrstition About the South One of the Northern superstition? about the South, which, strange to 6a; 6till exists in some States, is the beli 1 that the vellow fever and other fevers prevail yearly in certain Southern States, apparently coming and going with the same regularity as the seasons or the moon's phases. The idea is as erroneous and as baseless as the one that white men cannot work in the South in the summer on account of the heat. It is stated that one of the standard medical text-books, a work that is still used in some medical col lc-ges, solemnly defines yellow fever to be "a disease that annually prevails in our Southern cities. Dr. C. H. Wilkinson, of Galveston, has been given the following interest in r opinions on this subject to the N ews, of that city : "It is not generally understood, but the fact nevertheless exists to our own great detriment, that one of the great est drawbacks to the settlement of the Southern country ie the widespread and inexcusable fesr of tropical .or miasmatic fevers on the part Jbf people living to the north of us. This is no idle assertion ; but it is a stubborn amd most lamentable fact, the proof fof which was most forcibly thrust upon me a few months ago while traveling through Texas on a railway train On that occasion I met a gentlemen, s banker from some Kansas town, and in conversation with him I was asked 'How often do you have yellow fevti in your city V My reply was that wt bad yellow fever in Galveston in 1867 n an epidemic form and a few cneet vere reported in 1873. With thew exceptions we have had no fever sine the war. 'Of course," said he, 'you Uave the usual miasmatic and typhoid 'evers prevailing there all the time, lo you not?' Of late, I told him, typhoid fever had appeared occasion lly in our midst, but in a mild form, while m'asmatic fevers are unknown it originate in Galveston. My compan ion appeared very much surprised at these statements. and remarked: 'Well, I know 150 people in my county wh would come to your county to live i vou could prove what you say.' 'Now, the impression revealed by my con versation is but an exponent of what ignorance prevails- among stranger concerning the healthfulness of oui Southern country. There is a firm be lief among the masses of them thai deadly ordeal has to be run by every one who ttmpts to brave our South ern climate. : "Here is a fahje impression existing igainst us. and ohe calculated to dam age us incalculably., which should b radicated, and it is incumbent upor us to do if we wish to encourage im migration to onr country. Tt is a task our Chamber of Commerce should takf hold of 8nd handle at once, for it will be a difficult undertaking to indue the better class of people to come anj live among us with this absnrd fear o impending destruction hanging ovu them as it does toder." Cotton in Tex a:. From present - indications the yield of cotton in Texas this year will ex ceed two and a quarter million of bales, which will be greater by 10 per cent, of anyorje crop ever produced in that State.
