Nowhere, perhaps, says Prof, Agassis, is
the physical sl.d moral deterioration OF
pure races so clearly shown as in Brazil
The hybrid between the Indian and the
negro, called cafuz0, has none of the delica-
cy of the mulatto; his complexion is dark,
his hair long, wavy and curling, and his
character, instead of being confiding, but
indolent, is described by Agassis as exhib-
iting a happy combination between the
jolly disposition of the negro and the ener-
getic, enduring powers of the lndian.-
The hybrid between the white and half
breed is called the mameIuco, and is describ-
ed as being pallid, e1feminate, feeble, lazy
and rather obstinate, the Indian influence
having apparently obliterated the higher
characteristics of the white, without i'm
parting any of its own energies TO the Off
spring. Noticeable exceptions to this pic
ture may be found in the hali-breeds of the
semi civilized communities of our south
ern Indians. 1t is very remarkable that the
Indian, crossing with either a negro or a
white, makes deeper impress on his prog
eny than the other races. and in accordance
with this fact, it is observed that, in farther
crossing, the pure Indian characteristics are
resumed and those of the other races
thrown of. LET any one" says Prof.
Agassis, ''who doubts the evil of the mix
ture of races, and is inclined, from mis-
taken philanthropy, to break down all bar
riers between them, visit Brazil"

The contract for the superstructure of
the new iron railroad and highway bridge
over the Mississippi river at Davenport,
which is to be built by the government,
has been let to the Baltimore Bridge COM
pany. The cost of the work will be
$3.50, 900.
The superstructure will consist of five
permanent spans, one of 200 feet, one of
pol feet and three of 220 feet and one
draw span of $50 feet, and total length
of 366 feet
Each span will consist of two trusses,
33 feet between centres of top and bot
tom chords, and single track railroad in
termediate, allowing twelve feet Roadway
for wagon road. The trusses to be placed
eighteen feet apart in the clear, with side
walks five feet wide outside on a level
with the wagon road floor. The width of
the bridge from out to out of sidewalks
not to be over "a feet, the railing of side
walks to be 5 feet inches high, and
strong enough to resist considerable press
ure from crowd. The turn-table is to
be so constructed that on signal it can
be thrown to its place, and ready for the
passage of trains and wagons in two min
utes. The floor of the railroad track Is
to be planked, the portion between the
rails to be protected by metallic sheeting.
The entire bridge is to be painted with
two coats of paint after the bridge is
raised.

DESCENDANTS OF SHAKESPEARE
Several of the descendants of Shake
specre's sister, Joan, bearing a strong
likeness to the great poet, were, in 1922,
living in and near Stratford on-Avon,
and mostly in state of poverty. The
nearest living descendants were the
Hartes, of Tewksbury, the representa-
tive of whom, in 1918, was William
Shakespeare Harte, journeyman chair
maker, earning only eighteen shillings
week, with wife and several children.
This poor man was forced by want to
sell the freehold of Shakespeare's two
houses at Stratford about the year 1905,
for which he obtained only two hundred
pounds, leaving, after a mortgage and
expenses had been paid, only thirty
pounds as the wreck Of the fortunes of
this neglected family. Some persons
bearing the name of the great bard,
from Stratford, and its vicinity, and
claiming their descent from his family,
are now living in the United States, one
of which the compiler of this notice for
the Calendar met with frequently in a
village in the interior of Pennsylvania.
where he is now working at the trade of
a tailor. He certainly bears noticeable
resemblance to the busts of the illustrl
Gus poet.

HARD AND Sort BOILED Foes
1t Is understood that eggs are more easily
digested if f'rare" than ''welT" done;
but which portion of the egg resists diges-
tion-the white" which is nearly pure
albumen, or the yolk? Late experiments
have been made in this direction with am
pie opportunity of demonstrating that
healthy castle juice, which the stomach
secrets for purposes of digestion, will not
act readily on firmly coagulated white of
egg. even if cut in pieces not larger than
ordinary peas land that is as fine as peo-
pie usually chew their food,) while it
acts with facility upon the more brittle
yolk. The reason is that the coagulated
albumen is very compact and tenacious,
and would need to be ''ground to pow
dea' to accept the chemical affinities of
the gastsie juice.
Pour into basin boiling water sufi-
bent to cover the eggs, put the eggs into
the water and let them remain 10 or Is
minutes, according to circumstances and
your own taste; keep the water nearly up
to boiling temperature, but dont't b, il the
eggs. Fresh eggs will cook more quickly
than old ones, and of course small ones
quicker than large ones. By this process
you will find the yolks well cooked, while
the white is left in a condition to digest
readily.

mediately started in pursuit of the army
of the Crown Prince of Prussia, then on
its way to Paris. On the 30th of Au-
gust, however, when they arrived at
Vendeuvre, they found that the Ger
mans had suddenly quilted the Valley
of the Aube, and were proceeding by
forced marches to the north. They,
therefore, changed their route and pas
sed on to Boulogne by the Valley of the
Marine. By the assistance of the inhab-
itants of the districts they traversed, in
the way of horses and carriages, they
found themselves tho next day in the
midst of a region occupied by the enemy,
and above all, infested by plunderers
They Immediately set themselves to
work, and ON the first of September
they arrived at Joinville, in Haute
Marine, where ten Prussian scouts, COM
manded by Captain Schmidt, were taken
prisoners by them after an exchange of
shots.

From the Liberty Herald.

In the opinion of Attorney General
Morris, sheriffs are entitled to the same
fees for executing the processes of the
Board of Supervisors as is allowed by
law for similar services rendered in other
courts. This construction entails heavy
additional expense on the different coun-
ties, which will have to be met by the levy
and collection of an enormous tax on an
already overtaxed people. Under this
view the sheriff is entitled to and will
receive 81 80 for serving each road over
seer's commission, besides the other fees
and dues which they have formerly re-
ceived, and also the allowance of sum
not exceeding $50 per annum for ex-
officio services. For the service of pro-
cess in the Circuit and Chancery Courts,
the fee is taxed to the litigants, and the
unsuccessful one has the costs to pay. In
the case of process of the Board of SUI
pervisors, there is seldom or never any
parties contestant, and the fees are to be
paid out of the county treasury. The
Attorney Generals construction of the
law may be the proper one, yet it is re-
markable that for thirteen years the vari-
Gus sheriffs of this State have remained in
ignorance of their rights under the law,
or being cognizant of them, have yearly
donated to the different counties large
amount of fees to which they we're Justly
entitled.
