Lack of moral courage Is given by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, Pennsylvania state commissioner of health, as ono of the reasons why persons get so helplessly 111 that physicians cannot help them. "Every physician meets in his prac tice men and women who get a blue funk over the most trivial ailment. Often these persons worry until they arrive at a state of mental and physi cal depression which makes them ready prey for disease. "Unquestionably there are many dangers to health which wo must meot every day of our livos. It is well to know of these things in order that we may form the habit of avoiding as many of them as possible, but to be ever fearful, thinking of and cringing from danger, will not aid us to avoid It. "The brave man is he who knows his enoiny's strongth, is watchful, vigi lant, but not fearful." Increasing Potato Yield. Farmers in the British Isles are i conducting experiments with sulphite ! of ammonia to increase the produc- i tivlty of the potato fields. Iu this connection one of the recent reports of the department of agricultural and 1 technical instruction for Ireland j showed that 15 tons of farmyard ma- j nure gave a yield of tonB i of potatoes. The addition of a hundredweight of ammonium sulphato increased the potatoes by nearly a ton. The University college of North Wales ; has made similar experiments which j show that in four years the expendi- j ture of JJ1 ($5) in sulphite of i ammonia and superphosphate pro-,' duced once one ton and three times j ono and a half tons of potatoes beyond the yield of the ten tons of farmyard ? manure to which it was added. Pota- j toes wore worth JJ4 t$20) ? ton last; year. Activities of Women. England has a woman's cricket league. A minimum wage of $6 per week Is paid tho clerks in the department stores in Oregon. j In Russia the wife is always ad-'j dressed by her maiden name instead : of that of her husband. Tho auxiliary service of the French | army is now employing women where I they can be used to an advantage. For the first time in the history of the state of North Caroling a woman has been appointed to what is held to be a public offlcot Mrs. H. E Little, state president of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy, having been chosen ar. a member of the board of di rectors of the soldiers' home at flreens horo.

March ii3.- Many * Improvements In the uecotmMlutlohu for ? the primmer* of tho State jKUdtentiary are being mado tyy ^r< #?aders, the ! new sii|>erlntendent. Among tho hu manitarian effort* art* tin* installation of a ran go in whlrli to cook tho food ! of tho prisoners instead of tho old ket tle arrangement in which only one kind of food could ho cooked. Knives and forks and plates wiU replace the ! plate and n|mm>ii and tho meals will he served hy a waltor. (HI covered tahloM and stools for tho prisoners are l>elng put In instead of tho old wooden benches where the prisoners formerly gathered for their meals. Lights will he put in tho prisoners' cells and they will tm |H>rinltted to smoke and read In their cells until 0 p. tu., and to write a letter once a week Instead of once a month as formerly. Mr. Sanders Itud a talk with the prisoners directly after he assumed charge of the prison and told them he wanted to have their cooperation and would work along the lino of put ting them on honor, The new su l?orlntcnrient Is r man < f whle eX|K>r loneo in thd handling of prisoners and he believes in upi?caling to the hotter side of their nature. Of course, this does not mean that punb.hment, will not he meted out to those who are Incorrigible and will not respond to kiud treatment or fair dealing, hut Mr. Sanders thinks that the humani tarian methods in use in the federal penitentiaries and the i>enltentlarles of other States should he put In use in the South Carolina Institution and he 1m going to give them a fair trial. <Jov. Manning has several times expressed himself as wanting to see tlie prisoners given some opportunity of reading and improving their minds and not being looked in their cells from (I o'clock in the afternoon tint 11 the next morning with nothing to do. He was much interested when told of the improvements begun at the peni tentiary hy Mr. Sanders and looks for word with confidence to a better era and hotter results all around. Deputy Sheriff I>. K. Cooper of Greenville, was acquitted at his sec ond trial in tho Greenville court Fri day. He was accused of the death of Mrs. Lizzie Fullor, an aged woman, at the Brandon mill, a year or more ago.
