The fact that two genuine Chinese lepers have been discovered in this city, and, after being sent to the Charity Hospital on Island, have been turned loose on the community, is causing a good deal of agitation and a large amount of indignation.

The cultivation of tobacco is still its infancy in this section. If it were not, our would dollars where they have not cents. But it is better late than never. With diver- crops, the farmer raising all of his home supplies, and with tobacco, trucking, fruit raising, stock raising, etc., as the money producers, this will be the most prosperous com- under sun.

It is a beautiful, symmetrical and rapid growing tree, with luxuriant, light green foliage, much narrower than that of any other hickory. Its nuts arc oblong, smooth and thin shelled, with sweet and delicious kernels. There is a fine specimen tree in the grounds of the Capitol at Washing- ton.

But the friend- ship to women which will bear long and intimate association is very rare. They grow critical of each as men who are once never do, as women themselves never do In tho case of men with whom they form friendships. They irritate each other. many in- stances they come to distrust each other where there is reason for distrust. The truth appears to be that women do like women so well as they like irrespective of love and sentiment. Even the casual of women find men more agreeable to them women are. They prefer to be wait- ed on by the salesman rattier than by shop girl, by the waiter than by waitress. They more crowd together in car to make a seat for a male passenger thou they will to render a like service to u woman. When a woman is it is usually a whom she consults. If she ill she prefers male to female doctor, especially she regard her illness us This is a very curious trait in women, if it is true, and observation seems to settle it that way, as the writer from whom we have been quoting remarks, it somewhat tends to masculine conceit, and if men have a lurking suspicion of the superiority of their own sex, that vainglorious conception themselves is in part the of other purposes.
