Our Negroes Degenerating-
mean
The rece problem in the South
stined to be settled ac-
ural laws, unless
done, and done
goon, to sive the negro from the
results of his own vices and neg-;
lect of elemertary hygienic laws,
"Fhe testimony of those who have
studied this subject is all but
mmavimous, and it has received
gacdditional confirmation through
the investigations of Dr. R. H.
Fohnson, of Brunswick, Ga.,
himself a colored physician.
Ih figurea which he bas gathered
from a study of the vital statis-
tics of nearly 300 towns in the
Southern States show that the
ath rate of negroes 18 double
éhat of whites in the same com-
munities, and not only this but
the birth rate is also smaller
anong the colored than among
the white ponulation. Further-
wore the day of the stalwart
meero is passing, 1f not alreadr
gone, and the members of the
younger generation of the race
make a poor showing as regards
their s1z9 and physical constitu
tion when compared with their
grandmothers and grav dfathers.
Dr. Jobnson attributes this de-
generacy of his race"righily, we
believe-~-to the carelessness, want
of forethought and dissipation so
anfortunatety characteristic of a
large portion of the colored pop-
lation in the South since the
ivil war. oIn anteballum days,�
gays Dr. Johnson, othe negro
geemedto beanimmune to con-
sumpticn and many great medi-
gal writers and teachers boast of
never having seen such among
the negroes. Koforced temper-
ate living and sanitary precau-
tions made the black man a phy-
sical giant, but the giants are
disappearing, and in their piaces
are coming ona race of emalle~
stature and decreased vitality,�
That this is the true reason ot
the colored manTs physical dete-
wioration is further shown by
what Surgeon-General Sternberg
bas to say mm his recently issued
avunnal report concerning the
Bealth of the colored soldiers.
oGreat improvement,� he says,
~has taken place in the past few
years in the sanitary condition of
@he colored troops. The white
troops have participated in the
improvement, although their
gates bave not fallen so ravidly
as those of thecoloredmen. The
colored soldiar lost 9 42 daya from
disability during the year, the
white soldier 12 71, and the aver-
age time. of treatment of each
@ase was, among the colored
troops, 10.84 days; among the
white, 11.22 days.� a
These figures contain much to
encourage those who have the
future ot our colored brothers at
heart and who have looked with
~gorrow upon their downward
sprocress since the day of their
«emancipation. The figures show,
seems de
cording to nat
gomething 18
(
regeneration; since eyen now its.
members living under the sani-~
tary aud-moral restraint of army
discipline are found to bs supé~
rior to their white comrades
living ander the same conditions.
The proof exists that the colored
race may yet be brought back to
its former savitary condition, but
the problem remains how to lift
it up from the abyss of misery
and how avert its threatened
extinction. Here is a task for
colored members of our profes~
sion, which they can accomplish
far better than their white confre-
res and which calls for their
test thonght and self sacrificing
devotion."Medical Record. "

Referring to the report tha!
the chignon is to be revived, the
Greensboro Telegram suggests
that the iadies who adopt it
omight secure a very striking
effect by simultaneously going in
for a Kaffiir ring in the nose.�
ItTs no use, bud. Flattery,
threats, ridicule, nothing, will
keep the women from wearing
what they please and wearing it
as they please. When they get
ready tc go back to a fashion of
thirty years ago, and wear chigs
nons, they are going to wear
them; and then when they get
ready to wear rings in their noses
they are golug to wear rings in
their voses) And the strange
part of it all 1s that no matter
how ridiculously they rig thew-
selves up, we all get use to it
after awhile, Just es well let
them alone."Charlotte Observer

Unconscious Sarcasm.
A clergyman famous for his
begging abilities was once cate-
chising a Sunday school. When
comparing himself"the pastor of
the church"to a shepherd and
his congregation to the sheep, he
put the following question tu the
children:
oWhat does the shepherd do
for the sheep?�
To the amusement of those
present a small boy in the front
row piped ont:

The Worth of a Man
It is a@ delusion that men do

writes John Wanamaker in the
True Philadelphian. Why, 1tTs
the hardest thing 1n the world to
find a clean, strong, earnest, up~
right young man"theyTre as
scarce as henTs teeth. I had a
boy working for me once at $3
week. and one day the boyTs fsther,
who was Joom boss in a factory,
came to see me and said he
guessed he'd take his boy out.
He could make more money in
the factory. .
oHow much?T 1 asked. oFour
dollars a week.� oWell, let him
alone avd he'll be getting five &
week here after a while.�
When the boy was getting $8
the father came again, and again
I persuaded him to leave the
boy with me. Whanthe bov was
getting $10 a week tbo father
came again and said Le was going
to take the boy away. oWhat
for?T ~He isnTt making money
enough.� oWhat will yon do
with him?� oPut him in the
factory.� oHow much will he
get?� oTwelve dellars fivst"
fiftees. afterwards.� oAuy more.�
oYes, he may get to be loom
boss.� oWhat will he make
then?� oSeventy five dollars a
month.� ~Well then, let the boy
alone; he'll be betting a hundred
a mouth here some day.� I had
the hardest work to get that man
to leave his boy, and we are pay-
ing the boy now $1,000 a month.

Presidert Diax, of Mexico, is
lcredited with the invention of an
ingenious method of riddling the
country of bandits, including
train robbers, which is working
like a charm. A desperado of
more than common intelligenee
was captured about two years ago,
and the President interviewed
him in prison several times. » The
bandit told him that the want of
occupaiion was the root of the
whole trouble. The President
said: oI will test you. You
shall be liberated, and I will ap-
point you chief of police in your
native district. You are to guard
all trains and to protect passen~
gers at the way stations. You
can appoint your own subordi-
nates from your followers. You
will be rewarded for maintaining
good order in your district, and
held responsible for all lawless
acts by whomeceyer committed.T
There has not been a robbery in
that district (which was formerly
a dangerous one for tourists to
pass through) since that appoint-
ment was maco. The system hac
been extended, and now the soli-
tary uniformed policeman on the
platform of pearly every small

A Youth Who Won't Talk Away
From Home. "
Mr. Horton Hanes, who liyes
up on the Big Elkin, was in town
his son, Sanford Hanes, a boy of
18 years, well grown and intelli-
gent, but with the peculiarity
that he cannot be induced by his
father or any other person to
speak a word when he is away
from home. While at home he
talks as glibly as anybody. We
tried to get him to speak but it
was a failure. His father says
that when the boy was qnite
small he was visiting a neighbor
and aman teased him. The boy
got mad and from that time on
he has steadily refused to speak
a word while away from home."
