Backbone and Health.
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

Columbia, H. C. 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
