Entered as second-class mat ter February 22, 1907 at the Post Office at Jackson, Ga., under the act of Con gress of March 3, 1879. Texas has &clvtd In astrenuouß wav the problem of killing monopolist and trusts. Under the new law the Belling of goods manufactured by a trust is deemed a felouy, and upon conviction the offender is subject to imprisonment for two to ten years in the penitentiary. The bedbug has been scientifically investigated by the Department of Agriculture and the reassuring infor mation is given that an adultfued on ly once In from thirty-six to forty hours. So if you know when he i< going to want his dinner, you may Btand from under and tleep only be tween meals. A Pittsburg millionair has establish ed a chicken farm on a tract of nine acres in the residence district of that City, his purposeibeing to provide his family with fresh eggß and tender brollerß. A* the land is valued at $450,000, this would seem to be a rat h er extravagant outlay for eggs, even for Tittaburg. It is better, however for these millionaire to raise poultry than such crops of scandals as they have been turning out and may be hailed as a sign of reform. Rather Humiliating. It is a hard pill for a man to have to swallow. We mean when lie has run rough shod over those who did not agree with him, and had things his own way until he has come to the conclusion tliHt every thing in s ght is his persontl property. Its a hard pill for him to have to acknowledge himself beaten and go to his enemy for help. It’s a hara dose to take but somebody will gulp it down just you watch. And then theatinoe phers will clear up and beautiful pun sliine will cheer the hearts of our peo ple. —————————— i Envy. “Think of the patient, uncomplaining industry of the busy bee,” said the man who makes perfunctory efforts to be cheerful. “The busy bee,” replied the business man, “bus no occasion to complain. He Is one of the few manufacturers who are not being bothered constantly by the tariff or the pure food laws.”— Washington Sfnr. Science and Plumbago. riutnbago, popularly black lead, sci entifically graphite, got Us name, says the Ironmonger, from the assumption that It contained lead, and indeed cer tain lend ores aud oxides have been at times called plumbago, but Enkol found in 151>7 that what we now call graphite yielded no lead, and he called It sterile plumbago. Seheele tu ITS!) proved that It was an nllotropic form of carbon. Touched a Sc. o Spot. “Sorry, sir,” telephoned the butcher, “but we are just out of sirloin. Why don't your wife order you a round7*' “W-whuts that?” exploded Harker at the other end of the line. “I say, why don't yonr wife order you a round 7” “Why don’t my wife order me aro.iad? Great Caesar, man, that is nil she does—order me aiound from morning until night. Tf you were aiearer I’d”— But the startled butcher hung up Ibe receiver and fled.—Chicago News. Indestructibility of Matter. It is generally understood that the founder of the doctrine of the con servation of matter, which asserts that, all appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, In all chemical changes my matter is ever loot or an nihilated. was the French chemist philosopher Lava Is! er, who was born lu 1743 and guillotined by the revo lutionists in 1794.—New York Ameri can. Eskimos’ Appvtitea. The Eskimos have enormous appe tites. An arctic explorer relates that be sow a boy cut ten pounds of solid food and drink a gallon and a half of liquid w ith much gusto. This same explorer observed an adult eat ten pounds of meat and two cau dles at a meal. Blr P. Phillips tells how a lad of seventeen years ate twenty-four pounds of beef In twenty-four hours. “Water of Life/* Distilled spirits came into use in London in 1450 and had to be prohib ited in 1494. Michael Savonarola pro duced a treatise on the making of “wa ter of life" in the fifteenth century which became a standard authority on that subject nnd was followed by the work of Matthioli of Siena. These books guve an impetus to brandy mak ing in Italy, whence the trade extend ed to France.—Loudon Graphic. A Base Impostor. “The meanest fiend I ever knew,” said a member of the Century club, “was a fellow who used to belong to this club. He used to bore us for hours telling of the smart sayings of his chil dren. It was something fierce. Finally be left town, and we discovered that* he had no children. He was an old bachelor. He’d been springing that line of stuff for years just to watch us writhe!”—Cleveland Leader.^ Bank of England Clarks. It is said that a long time back the Bunk of England discovered that math ematical errors of the clerks were at a minimum in the early morning hours, but progressively increased as fatigue occurred. The worst time was in the late afternoon, and there was so much money lost, due to errors at that time, tbat as a matter of economy the clerks were forbidden to work after 8 o’clock. —Pearson’s. A Matter of Buainooa. Bishop Potter was once staying with a friend in a country house upon the riudson. On Sunday morning he found a small boy curled up In a big chair deeply Interested In a book. “Are you going to church, Tom?” the bishop asked. “No,” he replied. “Why, I am,” the bishop said. “Huh!" the boy returned. “That’s your Job.” Haydn. The natural life of Haydn wns from 1752 to 1800. His first musical per formance of note wns at the age of twenty, aud from that time until ills death his industry was practically in cessant. Ills artistic life thus cov ered a period of fifty-seven years. His works comprise 125 symphonies, six teen masses, two great oratorios and almost numberless concertos, duets, trk-s, quartets aad quintets. Self Winding Watches. “Watchmaking Is no longer what It used to be.” said a collector. “Where will you find today artists making and selling readily watches worth $2,500 apiece? Brequet was the greatest watchmaker the world has ever seen. He was a Swiss, but he lived in France. The watch collector who hasn’t a Brequet timepiece has a sad ly Incomplete collection. Brequet watches were the acme of beauty, of originality and of accuracy. One played a tune every hour, another had on its dial little figures that danced, a third was a self winder. They were very ingenious, those self winding watches. They worked on the pedom eter principle. The maWon of the body In walking kept them wound. I have a Brequet self winder, and some times, out of curiosity, I carry* it for a week. My stride winds it, k never runs down, und it keeps, after all these years, fairly good time.”—New York Press. The Address on the Letter. “It is uot spelling alone that has been smitten by the hand of the de stroyer,” lamented the postman. ‘Tuuc tuntion has also gone by the board. When I tirst K'gan to handle United States mail ten years ago the dire* tlons on envelopes were punctuated according to schoolbook rules. Abbre viations were finished off with a pe riod. names were followed by a comma, and so so. Now the envelope that is properly punctuated is a rarity. Some times, just out of curiosity, I take time to look carefully through a bunch of letters. Out of. say, twenty, more than half will be entirely destitute of punc tuation marks. In the few cases where an attempt has been made to punctu ate hysterical dashes take the place of the i*orio<Js and commas that once prevailed.”—New York Globe. Proof of His Innocence.
