RURAL MAIL CARRIER .'IMMEDIATE WORK GETS A TRIBUTE Editor Times Enterprise: I wish to pay a tribute to the rural letter carriers. I think the people ougiit to get better acquainted with him. We all expect him rain or shine, hot or cold, but we know l.trie. and. in fact, c»re little about his troubles This makes it harder for him to perform his duty, for "don’t care" makes bad roads, bad bridges and the like. I think tbe first tiling we oan do. to help him is to aid him in making a cen sus of his route. The law requires that he have the names of every man, woman and chUd on his roate, so he can tell where to deliver the mail addressed to them. It is easy enough to learn the names of the grown people, but the nat rons are careless about writing down the names of the chiloren for him. If they will do this they will help both him and themselves and insure the prompt delivery of mail. “T.” Ochlockuee, Ga. A SAD BEREAVEMENT FOR MR. AND MRS.

THE PORCUPINE, Id Bta Ukiag For Salt an Acquired or a Natural TnateT Some men who Were camping in the Adirondack* several years ago on breaking camp in the autumn left an old tub which was saturated with salt brine. On returning to the'same camp tbo next year tucy found Hint the tub had been gnawed until little of It was left. They were not long in find ing out what animal bad done the work, for tho camp was overrun with Canadian porcupines. At night they liecanie such n nuisance that the camp ers were obliged to kill them to protect their property. The handle of a paddle was gnawed half through. The explanation of their presence In such numbers during that year, when they hud not been noticeably abundant In the previous year. Is that they had made a rendezvous of the camp, being attracted by the old brine tub. On this they feasted all winter and for that reason were greatly pleased with the locality. An interesting query Is this: Is the liking for salt an acquired or a natural taste? Were they ever able to gratify that tn*te to any extent before r. :t gave them a chance to do so?—St. Nich olas. PUNISHED BY PROMOTION. CcrlouN Lima That Prevailed In the Florentine Republic. The Florentine repnhllc had a unique method of dealing with Its too ardent democrats. In 1293 the state passed the famous “Magna Cliarta of Flor ence,” to curb tbe cruelty and rapacity of tbe lawless nobles, who, In defiance of the law courts, were accustomed to fiog and torture their dependents at will. Tho net practically disfranchised, those titled harpies by a clause which excluded them front the slgnory—a body In the state corresponding to tlio British cabinet—unless they renounced their nobility. Tills curious provision prepnml tbo ivny for a still more extraordinary clause, which enacted that any member of tho democratic party who tuii.Io blutrcif c\noxious to tho government and was l y theta declared to tie “guilty of treason to the commonwealth'*should lie given a patent of nobility and tli.ui at the n:i: :o moment Ik* raised in the soelal seaio and reduced to a political nobody at the will of the state.—Lon don Telegraph.

It is 04 feat high, from 17 to 35 In, breadth and 1ST deep. It has'an awful and gloomy appear ance, which, with Its singular shape, perhaps gave rise to the* popular and amusing paradox that Dionysius had It constructed for the confinement; of those whom he deemed Inimical to his authority and that from the little apartment above be could hear all the conversation among the captives who were brought to the ancient town of Syracuse in tbe time of Its splendor, when it was the largest in Sicily. The sound of words uttered with a low voice la augmented In vaults or gal leries so as to become audible at a con siderable distance from the speaker. A like effect takes place In n less de gree when sound ascends from the bot tom of a deep well or when words are uttered at one extremity of a long cor ridor or passage in a building. If a pin be dropped Into a well tho sound produced when It strikes the water Is distinctly heard at the mouth or the sounds of words spoken near the sur face of any well Is similarly augment ed.

In Egypt It represented Homs, the young or ril ing sun, in a boat surmouuted by stars, closely followed by Sirius, which woa shown as a cow. It has also b*en found sculptured on the walls of Thebes C.uOO years ago. And ou the inon of that early time It shone down from the same position and with the same brightness as it does on us today, a striking example of tbe unebauge- ablcueaa of the heuveus. From the days of the early Hindoos to the present tbe constellation has for some reason borne always a stormy character. Allusions to it^ direful Influ ence are found everywhere among the classic writers. Thus Milton wrote: Wh r n with fierce v/lndn Orion arrived Hath vexed tho Red sea coast. Tlie los.i of tho Roman squadron lu tlie fir> t 1’uulc war wan uscribed (o the fleets having sailed junt after tlie rhk cm lug of Orion. The group has also heed more perfect form of food. According employed us a calendar sign, its mora le the Lancet's analysis of the potato aiul the chestnut, the latter contains less water, more protehl. more fat and starch, but leas mineral matter, than tbe ixftato and is more digestible Jhan tbe latter. LikeJhe potato, also. Its digest nutritive and digestive qualities are greatest when baked or roasted. When Rrplllea Die. A Viennese naturalist deelnres that nearly nil reptiles that die from nat ural causes close their lives between nightfall nud inlduight. only n few be tween midnight and morning and few er still in daylight. Most reptiles seem aware of ‘their approaching death, seek ing out particular places and there awaiting tlie end, while those whose lives are spent underground come to tho surface before death.
