DECEMBER 10, 1897. meee ee ee enna 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. “In anteballum days,” gays Dr. Johnson, “the 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 man’s 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. “Great 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. — eercccccemes “od The Demon Liquor.

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 seat tininn 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: “What does the shepherd do for the sheep?” To the amusement of those present a small boy in the front row piped ont: _ indeed, that the race is capable of “Shears them !”—Omaha Bie. if The Worth of a Man It is a@ delusion that men do not get what they are worth, writes John Wanamaker in the True Philadelphian. Why, 1t’s the hardest thing 1n the world to find a clean, strong, earnest, up~ right young man—they’re as scarce as hen’s teeth. I had a boy working for me once at $3 week. and one day the boy’s 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. . “How much?’ 1 asked. “Four dollars a week.” “Well, 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. “What for?’ ‘He isn’t making money enough.” “What will yon do with him?” “Put him in the factory.” “How much will he get?” “Twelve dellars fivst— fiftees. afterwards.” “Auy more.” “Yes, he may get to be loom boss.” “What will he make then?” “Seventy 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. Seta Thief to Catch a Thief. “dame ctnim 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: “I 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.’ 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.
