t ; Sanitation in the Middle Ages. The Greeks and Romans paid special attention to the physical culture of their youth, to public water supplies and baths, and Athens and Rome were provided with sewers early in their history. During the middle ages, sanitation received a decided check, and this was the most unsanitary period in history. Most European towns were built compactly and sur- J rounded by walls. The streets were | narrow and winding, and light and 11 air were excluded. The accumulation of filth was frightful. Stables and houses were close neighbors. The dead were buried within the churchyards or in the churches. All conditions were favorable for the spread ot infectuous diseases, and in the four- > teentn century alone the Oriental or j bubonic plague?the Black Death of ! recent historians?carried off a fourth J of the population of Europe. The 1 birth-rate was much less than the i death-rate normally. The cities had ! to be continually re-populated from the country. < Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot roach the diseased portion of the ear."

Million Dollar Cement Plant Negotiations have been pending for some time relative to the utilization of the slate refuse and lime rock formations near Rockmart, Ga_, in the manufacture of Portland cement, now so extensively used for dams, building foundations and masonry work in general. During tile week it has been announced that the Southern States renounced that the Southern States Poet land Oment Company will 1)3 organized, with a capital of $1.000.00u, to juild a large cement piaat in the section referred to. It is said that the Peninsular Portland Cement Company .f Cement City, Mish., iwill be interest:d to a large extent financially. . that W. F. Cowham (general manager >f the Michigan company) will be "resident, and H. F. Vanueventer, of Knoxville, Tenn.. manager of tiie nv.. Jecrgia corporation. industrial items. Mr. Tom Richardson, who has just become the manager of the Progressive Union of New Orleans, has already begun active work for the promotion of the city's welfare. He considers that the constitutional provision exempting from taxation for ten years from January 1, 1900. of new manufacturing plants may be made splendid use of in building up the city, and he sugests that every busines letter-head and business envelope sent from New Orleans should bear a statement of that act upon it. For the banquet last week celebrati r? or t Vi /-? octohHchmont r\f tha VflW illty 111 VJ vovuuii^utuvub VI VUV 41 V I' Orleans naval dry-dock, Mr. Fred Muller, secretary of the New Orleans Maritime and Merchants' Exchange, Limited, prepared a statement, into which ho condensed a mass of valuable statistical infortnation regarding the commercial Importance of that city. This has been published in pamphlet form, and is being circu[atedfor the good of the city. When the Good Roads Special of the Southern Railway reached RalslgTx, X. C.. this week it found the ground well prepared for it. The Jtews and Observer of that city, with notable enterprise, had published on Sunday a special good roads edition, containing, in addition to general articles on highway improvement, reports from many parts of the State showing what is already being accomplished in that direction.

It is stated that arrangements have been made to develop the kaolin deposits near Oak Level, near Martinsville, Va., and the work will begin at an early date. The product will be shipped from Alumine, on the Norfolk & \Vestern Railway, to East Liverpool, Ohio, to be manufactured into i china.

The work is under advisement by the directors, but no details have been determined. Messrs. John Rudisill and associates of Lincolnton, N. C., have incorporated the John Rudisill Manufacturing Co., with capital stock of $75,000. for the manufacture of cotUrn and woolen goods. The charter permits beginning busines when $15,000 has been subscribed. Specific details have not been ascertained yet / * -> i . * - 7 * . Familiar Phrases Overworked. In the Era William S. Walsh pleads for much-abused words and phrases: "In these days when everybody is writing and everybody seems to succeed, would it not be well to start a society for the protection of words and phrases? Many of these are so brutally overworked by the amateur! Tbe winged words, tne woras mat burn, the thoughts that breathe, the telling phrases, do they not clamor loudly for a rest? That very sentence affords an illuminating example of what I mean. How apt, how vivid how expressive it would be if all its epithets had not lost their vitality through overwork. To the sated reader the whole sentence is but the echo of an echo; it not merely means nothing, but it Is robbed even of its sound and fury.
