The Peer Whites Descend from the Early Colonists. uld Lines Wiped Out by the Civil War- A Most Important Labor Ele- ment of the Industries of the South. M The notion that the poor white ale-l ment of the Southern Appalachian re- . ’ gion is identical with the poor people generally over the country is an error, and an error of enough importance to call for correction. The poor white of the south has some kinfolk in the Adirondack region of New York and the Blue and Allegheny mountains 0t Pennsylv ania; but he has few rela- tives any place else about the Mason- Dixon line. The states of New York 'and Pennsylvania were slave states un- ”til the early part of this century. This poor white mountaineer de- scends direct from those immigrants who came over in the early days of the colonies, from 1620 to about, 01 some time after, the revolutionary war. pe- riod, as “sold passengers.” They sold their services for a time sufficient to enable them to work out their passage money. They were sold, articled to masters, in the colonies, for then bread and fixed 1v ages," and thus they earned the cost of their migration. The laws under which'they were ar- ticled were severe, as severe as appren- tice laws in those days. The “sold pas- senger” virtually became the slave of the purchaser of his labor. He could be 11' hipped, if he did not do the task set him, and woe to the unlucky wight if he ran away. He 11 as sure to be caught and cruelly punished. And though he was usually a de- scendant of the lowest grade of human- ity on the British islands, he still had enough of the Anglo—Saxon spirit about him to make him an unsatisfactory chattel. From 1620 forward—the year when the Dutch landed the first cargo of African slaves on the continent, the “sold passenger” was fast replaced by negroes, who took more naturally and amiably to the slave life. The poor white natural " came to cherish a bitter hatred for the blacks that 11' ere preferred over him. He al— ready hated his domineering whit-e master. When he was free to go he put as many miles- as his means and his safety from Indian murderers per- mitted between himself and those he hated and hoped he might never see again. In that early time the mountain region was not even surveyed, let alone owned by individual proprietors. The English, Scottish, Irish‘and con- tinental immigrants who had some means sat down on the rich valleys, river bottoms and rolling savannahs, and t-he‘poor white was made welcome - to the foot hills and mountain plateaux. These descendants of the British vil- lein of the feudal era grew and multi- plied, became almost. as distinct a peo- ple from the lords of the lowlands as the Scotch highlander was as related to his lowland neighbor in the six- teenth and seventeenth centuries. The stir of the period since the close. of our civil warhas made somewhat in- distinct. the line that separates the mountaineer from the plainsman of the south, especially in the foot hills and at points where the two have ir .ter- mingled in traffic, in the schoolhbuse and church, and especially 11 here the poor whites have been employed at mining, iron making, etc. , but go into the mountain far enough and you find the type as clearcut as it was 100 years ago, with its inimitable dra111ing speech :11." curious dialect; itss sallow complexio: . lanky frame, lazy habits, and 111117.: minty—all as distinctly marked :1--.-ti1ey were when hundreds of these people found Cherokee wives in 1'11:--1;11-gia and Tennessee, in the early part of the country and bleached most of the copper out. of the skin of the Choctaw, as well as out of the Cherokee. It is a. pity that some competent a11- thropologiwl historian has not traced the annals of this interesting and dis- tinctive section of our population and made record of it in the interest of. science, no less than in the interest of the proper education and elevation of the mountain people. It has become es- pecially in the Piedmont section of the south; 3. most important labor element. The cotton mill labor by thousands comes from the “cracker of the -hills;” and it is destined to become a great power, that labor population, social and political. The redemption of the poor white be- gan 11 hen sla1ery went down' In blood and destruction, and it has gone on ‘ faster and traveled further than some of us think—Chattanooga Times. ’ She Managed Well. Apropos of the facility with which women can adapt themselves to circum- stances, a. little woman boarded a street car with two babies in her care, one in her arms, the other by the hand. She also carried a satchel, a bunch of wild flowers she had evidently gathered that morning, her pocket book, and as there was only one seat for the trio, she took the other baby in her arms and held both during the ride. But the piece-de- resistance was her door-key, which she held, likesome faithful Bruno, between her teeth. Nor did she relinquish it through the entire trip, but carried it with the air of'o‘ne who had a place for e1 cry thing, and every thing in its place. ——Dctroit IDFree Press. .

Among the passengers on board the steamer. Rhynland recently were tow little children, a boy‘and-a girl, who were traveling alone to different points in Ohio, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The boy was George Gough, nine years old, a bright, sturdy, little fellow, who. owing to the serious illness of his mother had been sent from Harrington, England, to be cared for by his “Uncle Jack” at Hammondville, Jefferson coun- ty, 0., until the mother again leaves the hospital. The boy was well clothed and very sedate. He was the proud pos- sessor of $2. 50 pocket money and ap- peared to feel rich. The girl, in maiked contrast to the boy, was as wild as she is pretty,a curly, fair-haired eight-year-oldg Mabel Blaney, of W alsell, England, 11110 was going to join her mother at 272 West Sixth street, Cincinnati. Both children had become great friends While crossing and were familiar with almost all the passengers. The boy took his place by Chief Inspector Hughes’. desk, and as the immigrants filed in front he would correctly give the name of almost every one. Each and everyone of the passen- gers had a kindly farewell for the little lad. On the pier the children feasted on such delicacies as‘were to be purchased at the lunch counter and drank copious draughts of soda water with evident relish. They rushed hither and thither, the girl always in the lead, and 1aricd their delight by occasional quarrels. As soon as the majority of passengers had left the pier the two children were provided with railroad tickets, pro— visions for the journey, and, after be- ing duly tagged with the full directions as to destination, they were turned over to the railroad company’s representa- tive, their friends being duly notified by telegraph of their coming. ‘ ‘IHE IN'IERESTING BEETLE. One Kind Carries a Cannon Loaded with a Fluid—The Dytiscus. Of all the insects the beetles are the most interesting. Thereis one that car- ries a cannon, which a naval man would call a stern chaser, and is loaded with a- fluid. When pursued the beetle fires it, and the other insect, usually a car- niverOus beetle, is blinded by the dis- charge of fine, acid spray. Hence its name of bombardier. The latest thing that has been learned about beetles is that Dytiscus marginalis cuts its way through the shells of snails and mol- lusks and eats the inhabitants. W. B. Tegetmeier writes to the Lon- don Field and tells about the curiosity of naturalists at finding shells mani- festly gnawed by some insect or other, and the final discovery of Dytiscus mar- ginalis at work on the shell. Then he tells some things about the Dytiscus family. Says he: “I know of no more interesting animal in an aquarium than a Dytiscus, who soon acquires the habit of following the fingers for food, and amuses himself at night, if. the aquarium is open, by fly- ing round and round the room, and oc-l casionally misses the way, and being unable to return is found on the floor in the morning. There is one. draw- back to thehabits of this creature. He is a bloodthirsty tyrant of the aquarium, requiring the whole place to himself, for if kept with tadpoles, frogs, fish, or any other animals he quickly destroys them, even if many score times his own 5126.” What hawks are to the other birds, cats are to other mammals, sharks are to other fish, the Dytiscus is to other in- sects. emos SHOW AFFECTION. Largest and Strongest of the Flock Help the Little Ones. Numerous incidents have been recited showing how the larger and stronger animals have assisted and protected smaller and weaker ones, says the New York World. Among the birds, however, there is a practice which is just as interesting as any of the acts of consideration per- f01 med by animals. A striking instance of that is shown on the continent of Europe. For smaller birds to attempt to fly across the broad Mediterranean would, because of the inadaptability of their wings and powers of endurance, be im- possible. To reach a warmer climate through Asia Minor, Syria and Pales- tine would be quite as certain to result in their death. Through the kindliness of the crane, however, the small birds are enabled to reach the warmer climate with little. effort. When the crane. is about to migrate it flies in wide circles close to the ground, uttering a loud and peculiar cry, as of alarm, and can be heard at a great dis~ tancc. The small birds recognize it as a call for them, and they immediately fly to the crane and take up a. position on the crane's back. When he has all the passengers he can carry comfort- :1ny the crane starts on his long jour- ney. Arrived in the warm south lands, the small birds fly from the back of their friend and are safe for the winter. Where the Timber Goes. One of perhaps many little considered ways in which the of the coun- try are being1caten up is in supplying There are 2,000 miles of trestle structure in the United States, according to an esti- mate by the Forestry Division. This tnestle work has to be replaced entirely every nine years, on an average, and every year timber. amounting to 260,- 000,000 feet, board measure, is used for this purpose. Nearly all the timber is cut from the largest and finest trees. The annual expenditure on this work' 1s estimated at about $7 ,,000 000. ' 1‘1“ ns+~ 1.1.11.

I" As the spring draws on and “that . tired feeling” so graphically portrayed by- the vendors of various patent medi- cines takes possession of us, our thoughts, which fain would revel in Swelling bud and freshcning green, are housekeepers, be brought to the depths of our habita- tions, and the, needs of the cellar—the, very source and inspiration of many of our corporeal woes—receive our first attention. In the large cities, where supplies arc “bought in limited quantities, the cellar debris is of a different character from. that which litters the ground apartment of farm or village residence. Here repose in “mute inglorious ease.” dismantled packing boxes, incapaci- tated coal scuttles, punctured wash- boile-rs: and dislocated boards, and all too frequently a collection of “bones and' paylins that the cat has dragged down unbeknownst to me, mum,” and which from all appearances should long age should have been relegated to oblivion. How, then, can the inter— ests of health be better conserved than .by devoting the first bright sunshiny Spring morning to a vigorous onslaught upon this subterranean catch-all of our dwellings? We can all realize the danger that lies in wait for those who neglect this important stronghold of disease. From an ill-kept cellar rise poisonous ex- halations that permeate the house. Ma- laria here lies in wait for victims, and from here diphtheria and typhoid fever and rheumatism send out their im- palpable but deadly miasma. For, although disease germs may originate in the cellar, they are no stay-at-homes, and soon make their way from cellar to attic, leaving destruction and even death in their wake. Arming ourselves, therefore,~for the conflict in cap and jacket and old glo1es, let us head our light brigade and proceed to fall upon the enemy right valiantly. The first attack should be in the na- ture of a rout, and no quarter should be shown. . If a fe1v1potatoas are left, sprout them, and lay in a clean basket or box; then fall upon all other valetudinarian vegetables that skulk in corners and behind boxes and barrels, and give them decent sepulture in the ash re- ceptacle. Then sweep down the cob- webs; send the most agile member of the corps with dust-pan and brush into the bins, with instructions to “spare not” empty barrels and boxes. Sweep up the dirt, and let no tender senti- ment 11 ithhold the av enginp, «hand from 1eteran and rus ty foot tubs, teakettles and coffee mills. Boxes and barrels that are not need- ed can be chopped up and added to the kindling pile; pork barrels can be emptied and scalded; butter tubs scraped and washed. Brush off the swing shelves; wash out the cupboards where the canned fruit is kept, and scrub the cellar stairs. Then, with a bucket of lime and an old broom, if you have 110 brush, give walls and ceil- ing a thorough coat of whitewash. That will sweeten the air and bring cleansing and healing in its wake. This being satisfactorily accom- plished and a-half peck of unslaked lime, placed in an open box to absorb the moisture from the atmosphere, the troops may be withdrawn for rest and refreshment, assured that their first vic- tory in the spring campaign is comfort- ably perched upon their banners N. Y. Times. 11'” REYNARD IS VERY CUNNING.‘ Tricks by Which the Fox Catches His Frey and Escapes His Enemies. No other still hunter can travel so quietly as a fox, and mighty few men are as crafty as the four-legged hunter when it comes to a. matter of getting meat. Foxes have been seen in Eng- land, slipping from bush to bush, crawl- ing and creeping after a feeding hare, for all the world like a man stalking a. deer. The fox cannot catcha rabbit in a fair chase, but its food is mostly rabbits, in spite of their flaectness. But at no time does it display its skill so well as when running for life, with a pack of hounds on its trail. Lord Willoughby De Broke writes to the Badminton Magazine to tell how a tired fox made straight for a flock of sheep in ,a pen, ran through them, and in the end escaped. Olaus Magnus, archbishop of Upsala, wrote a book called “Historia de Gentibus Septem- trionalibus," of which an English translation. exists. This book tells of a fox that leaped from back to back 0f a herd of goats As the dogs could not follow, the fox escaped. _ A curious trick of English foxes is to leap as high as possible, grasping a tree branch with their teeth, hold on till the bounds have gone on, and then, dropping to the ground, escape. This is similar to the trick of the American 101:, which jumps into a tree and rests on a branch, but American dogs are not such fools as English dogs. They gather around the tree. andhowl until the hunter comes—N. Y. Sun.
