An Italian opera conductor
landed in New York with two
trunks containing 200 shirts. He
preferred bringing along enough
for the season rather than xisk
them in an American laundry.
And now the laundrymen are tear
ing their shirts over the matter.
Consumption
Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
sumption. “Eat plenty of
pork,” was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott’s Emulsion is the mod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
• rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott’s Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott’s Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos
phites in Scott’s Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs,
Splendid Showing of the Insane Hos
pital.
At a meeting of the board of
trustees of the Mississippi Insane
Hospital to be held next month
the steward of the institution will
report that he has about $5,000 on
hand from the appropriation for
the fiscal year ending on the 30th
of September, 1904, to turn back
into the State treasury.
The per capita appropriation
made by the legislature is $115
per year for each patient, but for
the past several years the board of
trustees have annually turned
back into the treasury a portion
of the appropriation, thus giving
substantial evidence ot excellent
management at the institution.
The appropriation for the current
biennial period is based on an
average of about T,150 inmates,
yet at frequent periods the num
ber of inmates on hand has ex
ceeded 1,200.
The showing for the fiscal year
just closed is especially good in
view of the steadily increasing
number of patients and the large
ly increased prices of meat, flour
and other articles of food. The
hospital farm is quite an aid to
the institution in keeping down
expenses, and is proving more so
each year.
The hospital appropriation is
drawn from the treasury, and the
appropriation for the current bi
ennial period is $138,000 per an
num.
Mississippi annually spends
over §200,000 per year for the
care of her insane, the hospital at
Meridian having an allowance of
§60,000 per annum. The super
intendent at Meridian receives a
yearly salary of §2,000, while the
superintendent at Jackson re
ceives §2,500. During the pres
ent year about §10,000 has been
spent on repairs on the institution
at Jackson, consisting chiefly of
painting and plastering. Ihe leg
islature allowed the East Missis
sippi Insane Hospital §14,500 for
repairs and improvements.—Clar
ion-Ledger.
Joy In Self-Forgetfulness.
Helen Keller, to whom interna
tional attention has been directed
by the honor paid to her at the
St. Louis Exposition on October
18th, recently wrote on her type
writer the beautiful words which
follow:
“Everything has its wonders,
even darkness and silence, and I
learn whatever state I may be in
therein to be content. Sometimes,
it is true, a sense of isolation in
folds me like a cold mist as I sit
alone and wait at life’s shut gate.
Beyond, there is light and music
and sweet companionship; but I
may not enter. Eate, silent, piti
less—bars the way. Fain would
I question His imperious decree,
for my heart is still undisciplined
and passionate; but my tongue
will not utter the bitter, futile
words that rise to my lips, and
they fall back into my heart like
unshed tears. Silence sits im
mense upon my soul. Then comes
Hope with a smile and whispers,
‘There is joy in self-forgetful
ness.’ So I try to make the light
in others’ eyes my sun, the music
in others’ ears my symphony, the
smile on others’ lips my happi
ness.”—Ham’s Horn.

Archbishop Wra. H. Elder, who
for a quarter of a century was in
charge of the Catholic church at
Natchez, died in Cincinnati, Oct'.
31. He was 85 years of age. Of
him, the Clarion-Ledger says:
“During the daris days of the civ
il war, Bishop Elder conducted a
notable relief work, and thous
ands of families in this State, both
Catholic and Protestant, can testi
fy to bis goodness and charity.
It was during the memorable yel
low fever epidemic of 1878, how
ever, when death stalked abroad
throughout the commonwealth,
that Bishop Elder proved himself
a good Samaritan. With tireless
energy he worked to relieve the
distress and suffering among the
people, contributing all of his
own funds and raising large sums
by subscription to aid in the bat
tle against the epidemic, until he
was fin " ‘ 'cken with the dis
ease, many days he lin
gered between life and death. In
deed, at one time his death was
reported, and announcement of
his end sent to the Pope at
Home,”
Some Pumpkins.
Mr. W. A. Youngblood, of
Perth, a gentleman for whose ve
racity The Chronicle is willing to
vouch unequivocally, brought to
our office last Saturday a pumpkin
of average size (42 inches in cir
cumference) which he says is one
of eighty-tliree produced and rip
ened on one vine. The vine tfas
a volunteer and came up in a cab
bage patch in Mr. Youngblood’s
garden. This is a very remarka
ble production of pumpkins, and
we tried to induce Mr. Young
blood to send some of them to the
Cotton and Corn Carnival at Jack
son, but don’t know whether he
will or not.—Fayette Chronicle.
