Passing of a Once Familiar Figure ' in Newspaper Offices. Shawnee (Okla.) Herald. What has become of the old-time printer, once so familiar before the invasion of the linotype machine? He used to show up with the first frost. You found him in the office early some October morning, toast ing his back before the stove. His first request was, “Boss, may I look over the exchanges?" and he was soon pawing around among the pa pers on the editorial table. By 9 o’clock he had levied suffi cient tribute on the boys to get a shave and a'drink, and after dinner he was picking up brevier in a way to make an expert envious. All winter he worked as steadily as a clock. Many were the stories he told around the back room fire on a Sunday afternoon. Though without much education, his very wander ings had made him an entertaining personage. In the spring, however, when the tiny bees buzzxed lazily against the sunny window pane and the' lilac buahes in the courthouse yard were putting forth their fragrant laven der plumes and the night air was pungent with the odor of burning brush piles and sweet with earthly exhalations of upturned sod and ev erywhere could be heard the laugh ' ter of children playing In the twi light, a change came over the spirit of the tramp printer. He felt the call of the road, with its luxurious days of animal delight under the clear skies of spring, with its privi lege to work when you wish and idle when you will. He wished to see the boys again, to visit the fifty of fices where he had friends. So one Monday morning in mid April when you entered the office you missed his form at the case, the month’s familiar figure with one gal lus down and a short oil-stained cob pipe protruding from under a slight luminous nose. Yet, with all his va grant Impulses, you felt kindly tow ard your nomadic brother in the art preservative and were ever ready for him to come again. Before it is too late some gifted pen should tell the story of the tramp printer. It is one teeming with romance and the very best pos sibilities of good literary effort. True, to-day almost every office has the remorelesS speedy and ever vailing machine, but no one can wax either enthusiastic or reminiscent o ver a mere machine.

There are n New Mexico a bout 25.0001m We have "re duced'' their it 25 per cent, within little more than half a cen tury. Our "civilizing" influences seem to be more destructive, propor tionately, than the guns and torches and slave-driver's whips of the Span iards. There are twenty schools In New Mexico, with an average attend ance of seventy-live pupils. About one-third of this number attend the reservation schools. The others pre fer the private or "pay" schools. At the time of the American con quest there were about 60,000 In dians in the "arid valley" of Arizona, n l e than half that number being Apaches. Now there are only about 15,000, the Apaches being reduced to about 3,000. The Apache* refuse to be civilized—the remembrance of the frequent “Apache wars” of the past generation still rankles in the revengeful breasts of the remnant of this once powerful tribe. Tourists get a glimpse of the descendants of these once “noble red men,, at the railway stations in Arizona, New Mexico and California. At the hot town of Yuma about 1,000 "friendly’ Indians live on the banks of the riv er, and subsist by selling trinkets to travelers. The money is spent most ly for' "firewater.” These vaga bonds are known as "Yuma Indians,' having lost not only their possessions but their tribal name. They are the lowest of their race, and are not a pure type. The same may be said of those at Tucson, and at other oolnts along the railroad. At Albuquerque, Santa Fe and at other points in New Mexico, a mild type of the Pueblo Indians is seen, with his baskets, blankets and trink ets, which he offers to sell to his white brother. Some of them cling to their native dress, but it does not seem to fit them any better than their new civilization. A sadder type still is seen at the railway sta tions in the Mojave desert, and at the mining camps in northeastern Ari zona and southern California. They have reached the loweBt stage in hu man degradation and have combined all the vices of civilization with the ' loss of their manhood. It requires only a short mental calculation to estimate the date of the extinction of the red mep of the Southwest. Changes on the moon's surface, especially near the crater Linnaeus, are now recognized by Pickering, Barnard and others. It is concluded that the diminution of a white patch must be a melting of hoar frost at sunrise and that the deposition and melting of frost must be taking place in other parts of the moon.

GATTIS, Traveling Passenger Agent, ' Raleigh, N. C. - » jCMB — —wg FIBST AID fWiHE DHOWNING Two Cases of Resuscitation After a Long Time in the Water. New York Sun. , The following directions for res uscitating a seemingly drowned per son are published in the current launch: First-- Loosen the clothing, place the face downward with the forehead resting on one of the wrists, and the face turned to one'fctde. Open the mouth; seize the tongue between the Angers, covered with a handkerchief or piece of cloth, and draw It for ward between the teeth; clear the mouth and throat from mucus by passing the foreAnger, covered with' a handkerchief or piece of cloth, far back into the mouth, thus opening a free passage to the windpipe. Second—Turn the body face up-J ward, shoulders resting on folded coat or pillow; keep..tengusr^ffBVn forward; raise the arm backward ami upward to the sides of the head; this expands the chest and allows the air to enter the lungs. Then slowly move them downward, bend ing them so that the elbows will come to the sides and the glands cross on the pit of the stomach, and press them gently but strongly a gainst the sides and chest. This forces the air out of the lungs. Con tinue these two movements, which produce artiAcial breathing, very deliberately about ten or twelve times In a minute, and without ceas ing until the patient breathes nat urally, or until satlsAed that life is extinct. Third—While this is being done a little friction on the chest may be produced by rubbing gently with warm Aannel, and the body may be stripped and then wrapped in dry blankets. After natural breathing begins continue very gently for a few min utes the two movements which pro duce artiAcial breathing. After natural breathing is fully restored give the patient a teaspoon ful of brandy, hot sling or tea two or three times a minute until the beat ing of the pulse can be felt at the wrist. Rub the legs and arms upward ana the feet and hands with warm or dry flannel. . Apply hot cloths to the body, legs and arms and bottles of hot water to the feet. . Do not be discouraged if anima tion does not return in a few min utes. The patient sometimes recov era after hours of labor. Do not allow the tongue to fall back and blose the windpipe while the arms are being worked. Do not rub the legs and arms un til natural breathing Is restored. Do not put any liquid in the mouth until natural breathing is fully restored. Do not roll the body or handle it roughly. Do not allow the head to hang down. There have been two recent and striking illustrations of the fact that the resuscitation of the apparently drowned is to an unsuspected extent a matter of patience and persever ance. The New York life saving service reports the case of a man who was revived after he had been under wa ter twenty-three minutes, the work of resuscitation taking over a day. At Atlantic City a man was revived after he had been in the water ten minutes. He was worked over for an hour or more. ir m/w n 111 nun q Perhaps you’ve read the short sto ry that has been published of late in all the papers about Miss Tillie Root, of Webster, N. Y., who has such beautiful hair that none other in WebBter can compare with it. At' one time Miss Root had faded, harsh and falling hair, but as site says herself, after using two bottles of Parisian Sage she now has the finest head of hair in town. . Parisian Sage will make any wo man's hair soft, lustrous and luxur iant, and it is such a delightful hair dressing, that once used it is always preferred. Parisian Sage is the most invigor ating antiseptic hair restorer known to mankind. It is guaranteed, rig idly guaranteed, to cure dandruff In two weeks, to stop falling hair or itching scalp, or money back. It is a highly satisfactory dress ing for summer use, because it drives away all disagreeable odors, and leaves the scalp cool and clean. J. H.

Manufacturers’■ Jtecord. For the purpose of furthering Its aggressive campaign for forest re serves in the White Mountains of New England and the Southern Ap palachians. Appalachian National Forest Association has determined to establish its headquarters at 514 Metropolitan Bank Building, Wash ington, D. C., with Mr. John H. Fin ney, secretary and treasurer. In charge. The association has recent ly 'elected as its president Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C., one of the representative and progressive men of the South, and in accepting the office Mr. Tompkins has sound ed the following strong rally cry: "In accepting, as I do, the presi dency of your association tendered me to-day by yourjgJaA I~de6lre to briefly express my appreciation of your action and my realization of the responsibilities this position imposes upon me. "To my mind the preservation of remaining forests, and of our Sou thern forests particularly, presents the largest economic question which we of the South to-day face. "This is not only true as regards our future timber supply, but is of very vital concern to our climate, our waterways and water-powers, our domestic water supply and the health of our people, our agricultur ture by the prevention of Boil eros ion and floods, etc. "The work already done by the Appalachian National Forest Asso ciation has merited my warmest com mendation, and I welcome some share in it as a patriotic duty to the South and to the nation which can not be evaded. “We must have the Appalachian nnd White Mountain forests. We will have them. “But they must be but the begin ning of our work, for important as the Appalachians are, they are over shadowed in importance by the work involved in the perpetuation of ths forest areas in each State, which must have action by the several States if they are to be saved. "Let me outline this State duty. “Each State should appoint a State Conservation Commission to co-oper ate fully with the National Conser vation Commission just appointed by President Roosevelt. “Each State should establish a •State forest’—as large a one as pos sible, or small areas scattered throughout the State, under control of a State forestry. Each State should revise its tax laws on forest lands, so that its citizens can afford to hold forest areas, cutting there from only mature trees. Each State should pass stringent fire laws and adequately enforce them, that the woeful waste from forest fires may be stopped. “Each State should aim to educate the citizen* owning forest lands to a sense of his duty to himself and pos terity and to the State. “Our association is the rallying point for this great work; our ob ject is well worth ail the time -and energy we can put into it, and we ought to have behind ua and active ly aiding us every patriotic man and woman in the South; every Board ol Trade or Chamber of Commerce; ev ery Woman’s Club; every Civic League or similar public organiza tion ; all the splendid manufacturing interests there. “We ought to 'have and must have a branch of our association in every Southern city. ’ We ought to have forestry mass-meetings in all the im portant Southern cities, so the real facts and the Importance of them cat be put before the people. “This is a large conception, though thoroughly justified by the existing conditions. It means unremitting effort in the State and in the nation al Legislatures, but the plans of the association comprehensively and ad equately cover the work, an'd will I am sure, merit and receive the ac tive support of the entire South. “We are pledged to the work until the forests are saved.” ' Fertilize Your Business. The Reading Times. The business man who doesn’t be lieve in advertising belongs in the same category wltn tne larmer wnc doesn’t believe in fertilizing the soil The husbandman can gather sev eral successive but constantly di minishing crops from the same piece of ground without restoring to It the lifegiving elements'of which he roba it; but there comes a time when, completely exhausted, the land re fuses to respond to agricultural en treaty. The business deprived of the stim ulating influence of publicity fur nishes an apt parallel—gradual fail ure, ending in complete paralysis oi its functions. Advertising, like fer tilizing, is mighty cheap in propor tion to the money value of the growth it promotes. No Friend of Loafing Negro. Charlotte Chronicle. Lexington, Aug. 5.—Henry Hayes a well-to-do colored man of this place, approached a party of idle ne groes at the Southern station and asked one to help him two hours un loading a car of coal. The negro said he didn’t want to get dirty for such a small job. Hayes didn’t do a thing but swear out warrants for the lot of them and three were ar rested and fined $4.60 for "vagran cy.” Hayes, who has accumulated perhaps $5,000, is not a '"lend of the loafing negroes. The Next Legislature. Wilmington Star. It Is Impossible to tell at this time what will be the attitude or the per sonnel of the next Legislature. Of course, the majority of the members will be Democratic, but whether it will be a radical or a conservative Democratic body cannot yet be told. But the natural supposition is-that it will be a more conservative body j than the one which met in January | 1907, for we believe the people have grown tired of the radicalism dis played by the members of that ses- ( sion. The more conservative action I of the same members at the extra ordinary session of the next year < shows that the Legislators had felt | the public pulse and found that it had toned down considerably. There was not such a popular demand for j unjust and hostile legislation against railroad and other corporations at ■ the session of 1908 as there was at the previous session and we believe there will be far less at the next ses sion. France was, in 1907, the world's chief wine producer as well as con sumer. The total crop for the year was 146,000,000 hectoliters. Of this ! French growers produced 66,000,, 000 hectoliters.
