Chattanooga, Tenncsses, A LINCOLN STORY. Harvard’s President Springs One In Lecture That is Worth While. Professor A, L. Lowell, the new president of Harvard TUniversity, paused in one of his recent lectures and smiled. “That governmental difficulty,” te said, ‘“was great—as great as the diffieulty of Lincoln’s farmhand. “Two farmhands, Lincoln used ‘o say, were set upon by a huge bull while crossing a rocky field. One managed to gain a tree. The other took refuge in a hole that proved to have an exit in the rear. “The man who had chosen the hole was no sooner in at one end than he was out at the other. With a bellow the bull made for him. He turned and again shot like lightning through the thole. The bull once more bore down upon him, and once more he was in and out of hig hole. “This strange pursuit kept up some ten minutes or more. At first it mys tified the farmhand up in the tree. Then it angered him. “‘Hey,” he shouted, ‘ye danged nin compoop, why don't ye stay in the bole? ’ ‘“The bull was dashing from omne end of the hole to -the other at great gpeed, and the man was bobbing in and out desperately. He heard, however, his comrade’s shout, and found time before his next brief dis appearance to shout back: “‘Danged nincompoop yerself! There's a bear in the hole”’ "—Judge. NUMBER 6. A POULTRYMAN'S TROUBLES. After selecting out my breeding stock last summer 1 fed the cull cock erels for about two weeks and dis- Dosed of them as brollers. Then af ter losing about thirty chicks by over- Crowding we ended up the summer by bousing about five hundred Plymouth Bock pallets and placed them in our calony houses with ample run in the m‘é them end gave us a great deal of troulle. By persistent effort with spray of kerosene and casholic acid we kept them in chech but had great difficulty in clearing them out. We found the large body lice in great numbers ewen when we thought we bad the better of them and they pre ventedt the proper development of the m, especially from the later 4. By using all the different ingect remedies that we could get dur hands on we finally got rid of the sarge varicty of lce but it was not tory long untll we discovered that the colony houses were infested with e [ittle red mite. We had been busy ebout the f2dl work on the farm and sipported that the poultry would be ¢l right without a great deal of at tention, but that was swhere we were nristaken. Upon close examinstion we found the little red mites in great mumbers packed eway In every crack and crevice €0 we tmmediately pre- Pared a strong solution of carbolic acid end used it lbderally. While the red mite comes guckly at times end comes in great num bers, i I 8 easter to dispose of them than the regular lice because it does ot rematn on the poultry during the day time. The red mite i 3 moro g? @ spider than a louse. It draws witality £rom poultry at pight bus Paves them in the morning to find protection in out of the way places dbout the chicken house. My experience is that the difterent powders sold on the market have very little effect upon thess mites A liquid disinfectant i 3 the onty sat tsfactory remedy. 1 think a mixture of carbolic acid and kercsene ofl i 3 about the best for the purpose. The solution mmst be strong becanse the [ttie things will stand a whole lot of abusa I uwse one ounce as acid so a gallon of ofl appMed by means of a force pumd and spray nczzle, I use it Merally about the house and on the floor. It is g disinfectant as well as a mrite killer.—Epitomist. TOO MUCH ARSENIC. Beware of using too much arsentec In tree sprays, or of spraylng too often, or of allowing too much drip to fall on the soil. Prof. Headden be lieves that arsenic sometimes accum ulates in the ground under trees that have been oversprayed during a serles of years, until i{t reaches a quantity that menaces the life of the trees. In a recent bulletin he says: | “Hundreds of such trees are dead or sick beyond recovery, and ail show the same symptoms. The first sign is the appearance on the trunk of chocolate colored spots. The bark l 9 soon killed and driez down. The foltage drops early so that diseased trees are easily picked out in the fall, and they will be found nearly girdled with dead bark. The second year the tree will start, but it dies about mid-summer.” FOLKSTON, GA, JULY 8. 1909. NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE. Governor Brown brought to the cap itol a country gourd, with a long landle, He installed thls primitive drinking devi#> at a water cooller in the reception rcom of the capttol building. Senator Longley of the Thirty-sev enth has introduced a Dbill providing for the re-leasing of the Western and Atlantic railroad, the property of the state, at the termination of the pres ent lease. In introducing the bill Senator Longley stated ft was an ex act copy of the measure introduced four years ago by Senator McHenry, of Rome and that he desired to give him full eredit for it The bill.pro vides that the governor shall be au thorized to lease the Western and At lantic railroad at the expiration of axe present lease, for a period of sixty years at a monthly rental of not less than $60,000, to be pald monthly. The fact that the railroad is for rent is to be advertised and sealed bids recetw ed up to 12 o'clock noon qu the see ond Tuesd®® in Januery, 1911. Fach bidder must deposit a certified check for $25,000 and the sucoessful bidder must give bond to the state for $600,- 000 for the prompt payment of the rental and compliance in other re spects with the lease contract. The bill was referred to the committee on Western and Atlantic railroad. To limit the governor's power in the matter of suspending raflroad commissioners from office, is the ob ject of a bill introduced in the senate by Senator Frwin of the Eleventh. Senator Irwin's measure, which was referred to the general judicliary com mittee, proposed to amend section 2185 of the civil code, 'relative to the suspension of rallroad commission ers, so as to limit the governor’s pow er in this respect to cases where the railroad commissioner involved has become insane, where he is physically unable to attend to or grossly ne glects the duties of his office or when he is guilty of some indictable offense. The enactment of such a measure would put it wholly beyond the power of the governor to suspend an official of that body for purelly political causes. Former Senstor J. A. J. Henderson of Ocilla now representative from I~ win, has been in conference with State Entomologist B. L.

Festive Day Dates Back to the Romans. - March 1 is a day of joyful festivity among the school children in most of the Engadine communes. At 4 o'clock in the morning a party of Bchoolboys march through the village oclanging cowbells, big and little, with all their might, to proclaim the dawn ;d a boisterous day to their slumber- Ing schoolmates still abed. ~ As the day grows bright the boys gather, each one with a huge bell hung round his neck, on the villays Bquare, where they form in ranks according to their sizo. When the preparations, always conducted amid great excitement and juvenile jubila g:t have been completed, the pro cession starts on a tour through the i‘i"eet.a to the accompaniment of furi ous bell ringing and noisy yodelling. ~ Ome of the cldest of the demonstra tors, with a mikk pail on his shoulder, In the costume of a dairyman, with ~ yellow Dreeches, white stockings, low ?oes, finally embroidered braces over b shirt of spotless white, turned up gleeves displaying a brawny arm, the dalryman’s hat penched jauntily on the back of his head, marches proud ly at the head of the herd. At the end of the procession is another big Qé;y with a big staff in his hand, like 8 herdman. All this reminds ug of the way ithe cows go to the Alps to the sound of bells. The whole festival is noth ing but a spring celebration to her eld the return of ¢he milder sean son, which has been losked forward to with longing for months. The custom is said to be of Roman origin, hence its name “Chalanda Marz” (from Kalendare), which jus’i fies the assumption that, from the pe ‘tfod of the year chosen for the ob servance of the festival, it must have originated in the mild climate of Italy, and not in the cold clime of the En gadine. In the way described the troop marches on from house to house, and s presented by the matrons with rice, chestnuts, saasages, bread, ang even wine and money. The hotels are all vigited, and the patrons always con tribute some small change. OQut of the proceeds 8 general jollification is provided, at which the girls of the {s the youngsters’ enjoyment of the Chatanda Marz festivities can scarce ly be imagined by any one who has not looked on at these annual junKet ings. So dear is the memory of the old custom that even gray haired men and women follow the clamorous band of children, and ere ever ready to bestow ecmse, small offering on them. : This spring festtval may, however, heve a more primitive origin—in tho universal propensity of man and wom an fn ¢helr unmated state to get to gether upon the first blush of spring, to choose each one his or her mate for the coming season—a modifisation, indeed, of slmilar spring festivals that reappear ) other countries In dlsguised ceremonias.—New York Tribune. The Itallan government has estabe lished a bureau to deal excilusivelry vith the electrification of the state rallways, which is making rapid strides. AN OLD TIMER Has Had Experiences. A woman who has used Postum since It came upon the market knows from experience the wisdom of using Postum in place of coflee if one val uves health and a clear brain. She says’ “At the time Postum was first put on the market 1 was suffering from pervons dyspepsia, and my phystcian had repeatedly totd me not to use tea or coffes. Finally I declded to take hts advice and try Postum. [ got & package and had 1t carefully pre pared, finding it delictous to the tasta. 8o I continued its use and very eoon fts boneficial effects convinesd me of its value, for 1 got well of my nerv ousness and dyspopsia. “My husband had been d@rinking coffes all his Nfe until it had affected hig nerves terribly, end I perseaded him to shift to Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change, for the Postum is eo delicious. It cer tainty worked wonders for him. “We goon learned that Postum foes not exhilarate or depress and does pot stimulate, but steadily and bonestly ctrengthens the nerves and the stomach. “Fo make a long story ehort, our cnttre family continued to use Pos tam with satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health, and we have noticed a rather unexpected {fmprovement in brain and nerve pow er” Increased bratn and nerve power always follows the use of Postum {n place of coffee, sometimes in a very arked manner. “There's a Reas son.” ‘Look in pkgs. for the famons lit tle book, “The Road to Wellville.” Ever read the above letter?
