“The sum and substance of most
of the bank failures being daily re

The Florida legislature is devoting
much time to the cultivation of pecans.
Pecans are a good thing in their place

A slanderous story to the effect
that the people of some parts of
Kentucky were suffering the most
direful poverty is refuted by the
Beattyville Enterprise, which says:
During the last tide about 300 rafts

at least three men. It would be safe
to say that two out of every three

was brought to an awful close on

who wa^ murdered in the court house
at Danville in front of the judge’s
bench, let us bear no more of the
sectional blather about the work of
mobs in the South until we can pluck
the beam out of the eyes of our
Northern people. For years past,
North and South, there has been an
increasing tendency to crimes of
violence and a corresponding over

Advice to Farmers.
Kettle Creek, May 30,1893.
Editors Waycross Herad—Dear
Sirs : Since writing yeu last week I have j Jacks*
been somewhat perplexed over a study
in which the relative positions of farm
ing and science are deeply involved, and
have decided to sketch some of the fair
est thoughts, in a general way, deemed
worthy of public mention, chiefly be
cause of an undercurrent in the great
turpid stream of human events which
ripen and yield to the magic touch of
intelligence, and are at last appropria
ted and hobby ridden by so-called scien
tific fanners whose chief business in life
lies in a superb ability to give advice
and borrow money.
There can be no question, however,
as to the advanced spirit of the age in
which we live. That we are accustomed
to directing the course of human events
and enjoying to the fullest extent, the
privilege of having everything our own
way. But it has occurred to me that
possibly there may be a point beyond
which it may not be safe for experimen
tal science to experiment. The graceful
experiment of shooting a man under the
Atlantic ocean to Europe through a
pneumatic tube in five hours may be all
right if the passage is not attended with
too much friction. But those fellows up
North who propose to tone down and
manipulate the force of Niagara falls are
going to tackle a big job. There are
some visible distinctions between science
and experiment worthy not only of lat
ter day sanction, but which will forge its
way into the conceptions and practicable
operations of schemes as they crop out
in elements of thought at variance with
the laws of nature. Now, the Professor
of Krupp institute, just over the creek,
has been reading - :ne light article on
the theory of ;br':’.'.. ::g the forces of the
great Niagara fa! I.a, and converting the
grand old chasm i:: to a brilliant reservoir
for the collection and maintainance of
a sufficient force of electricity to supply
the world from some convenient point
in New York city, and has requested me
to deliver' a lecture to his graduating
class on the science Of transposition in
volved in such an undertaking. Now,
Mr. Editor, you understand my position;
some pebple want to say Bill Krupp has
been caught out, sat upon, or something
of that sort. But I expect to forestall
them in this matter, and go on record
without a bobble. Please send me all
the literature possible bearing on the
subject, and state plainly if in your opin
ion, it will be necessary to inject any
mathematics. Bill Krupp.
such profusion that the sight would

Humor or Napoleon I.
(treat men have often been deficient
the sense ot humor. This was mark
edly the case with Na|H>icon I, whose
sense of humor, if he possessed it, was of
a grim sort. It is recorded, however,
that he had a certain sympathy with a
pun, and several of his minor appoint
ments were actually made because the
appointees’ names seemed to indicate
their fitness for the place. He made M.
Bigot, for instance, his minister of pub
lic worship at one time, and when he
was looking about for a governor of the
pages in the imperial palace he could
think of no one so appropriate for the
place as General Gardanne, whose name,
in French, signifies a keeper of don
keys.
When he came to make Marshal Vic
tor Beau-Soleil a duke, it struck Napo
leon that the opportunity was an excel
lent one to make a sort of reverse or
“back action” pun on the marshal’s
name. Beau-Soleil signifies “beautiful
sunshine,” so the emperor created the
man the Due de Bellune—which was
very much as if he had made him the
Duke Fine Moon.—Youth’s Companion.
