UTILIZING COUNTY CoNvI

uAcCucctoLls
UTILIZING COUNTY CoNvLCrs.
The punishment Of crime has
ever been and will continue to be
.burdensome to tax payers, but it is
indispensable to good government.
As the burden must be borne, it is
the part of wisdom to make it as
light as possible, by SO employing
conyicts as to reap the reward of
their labor, with the least possible
detriment to the honest labor of
the country. Acting upon this the
DRY the County Court Of Knox
County some time ago, very wisely
decided that the convict labor of
the county should be employed in
the construction of macadamized
roads, leading out from this city.
This plan has met with general, we
might say universal, approval. The
only difference of opinion We ever
heard expressed, was as to where
the work should commence.
The start was made, however, on
the road leading from Knoxville to
TazayelI. where three miles of eX-
cellent road were made. The con-
victs we're then placed on.the Gin
ton road, where they viii soon have
FIVE miles of first class road com
pleted. The enterprise, it will be
seen, is a success, and it will be ju-
diciously pushed forward.
The cost Of building such road
has been estimated at $4,000 per
mile, so that the county already has
$4,000 worth Of macadamized
roads constructed by the work house
eonvicts. At the last January term
of the court, the Chairman and
Clerk of the County Court were in
structed to memorabilia the Legisla-
ture to enact a law authorizing any
county that may choose to do so,
to construct macadamized roads and
erect toll-gates for the purpose of
keeping them in repair when they
are completed. This action Of the
Court IS commendable, and We
trust the Legislature will pass
the law. We learn that the
the gentlemen composing the Leg
islativc Committees when have re-
Gently visited Knoxville were called
upon by Chairman CottreIl and
Clerk Lewis, who made known their
request. The committees expressed
themselves unanimously in favor of
such law.
A bill has been already prepared
and perhaps introduced by Hon. NJ.
D. Bearden, embodying the wishes
of the court. We trust it will be-
come a law. Under such a law,
we will in few years see vast
improvement in our roads-a thing
we stand greatly in need Of. We
WANT good macadamized roads run
ming out in every direction to the
county limits, and we hope to see
other counties doing the same
thing. Such law will be univer-
sally approved and will prove a
blessing to any county that will
avail itself of its provisions.

Christian brother is greatly extended.
In the twentieth chapter OF this Gospel,
and sixteenth verse, the words, "For
many may be called, but few are chosen"
which appear to have no connection with
the context, are not found in the most
ancient manuscripts, Verse fourteen of
the twenty third chapter of Matthew is
not contained in any of the most ancient
manuscripts. 1t was probably inserted
from Mark xii: 40, and Luke XXX AT.
The word thew" in Matt. XVI: % is
not contained in several of the ancient
manuscripts. All of the thirty-fith
verse of Matt. xvii is omitted in the
most ancient manuscripts, except the
first clause. What follows slots" was
probably inserted from John xix "a.

The Advantages of Kindness.

The great benefit that flows from the
exercise of kindness and good humor is
an increase of happiness to one that is
kind and good>humored, and to the
persons toward whom kindness and good
nature are shown, and to society at
large. If happiness be in proportion to
the number of beings we love, and to
the number OF beings that love us, then
certainly the kindest and best natured
man is likely to be the happiest; for he
it is, other things heipg equal, that is
the most loving and the most beloved.
And surely it is worth while to be get
ting happiness in 30 easy way as that
1t pays trying to make people love us,
VIXEN it only costs what makes us 20
much better, that is, the being
and kind.
A man that lacks kindness of feeling
and natural civility or that seldom speaks
of the virtues OF those about him. to
commend. but almost always of their
faults. to blame, and who INDUCES freely
in the sneer and taunt, or bittel sarcasm
and irony, is a great loser. 1t is bad
thing and bad sign to be disliked, ex~
cept by the wicked, or when it is owing
to the brave utterance of unwelcome
truth. And then the mems sibi oorascia
recti, the self consciousness of right, will
be a sufficient consolation.
"a peaceful conscience and approving
Heaven"
But, alas how many there are, and
these not called bad men, either, who,
deficient in natural civility, will no,
take the pains to be lik, d, who will not
be kind and civil enough to be loved. i
is not i'm them by NATURE, and they DE-
not try to ingraft 1t there, and 80 they
20 through life without being loved, ane
without receiving or comforting favors
except upon their own circle of family
friends.

A Marvellous Boy.

spectator,
In the autumn of the year 1914 was
reading with private tutor, the Curate
of Wellington, Somersetshire, when a
Mr.. Bidder called upon him to exhibit
the calculating power of his little boy,
then about eight years old, who could
neither read nor write. On this occasion
he displayed great facility in the mental
handling of numbers, multiplying read
lily and correctly two figures by two, but
falling in attempting numbers of three
figures. My tutor, a Cambridge man,
fellow of his college, strongly recons
mended the father not to carry his son
about the country, but to have him
properly trained at school. This advice
was not taRen, for about two years after
he was brought by his father to Cam
bridge, and his faculty for mental calcu
lations tested by several able mathema-
teal men. was present at the e8ami-
nations, and began it with sum in sim
pie addition, two rows, with twelve fig
urss in each row. The boy gave the
correct answer Immediately. Various
questions, then, of considerable difficulty,
involving large numbers, were proposed
to him, all of which he answered prompt
ly and accurately. These must have &C.
cupied. more than an hour. There was
then pause. To test his memory / then
said TO him: "Do you remember the
sum in addition i gave your" To my
great surprise he repeated the twenty.
four figures with only one or two mis-
takes. 1t is evident, therefore, that in
the course OF two years his powers of
memory and calculation must have been
gradually developed. He could not ex-
plain the process by which he worked
out long and intricate sums. He did
not appear at all oyerworked. As soon
az a question was answered he amused
himself with whipping top round the
room, and when the examination was
over he said to us: You have been
trying to puzzle me will try to puzzle
YOU. A man found thirteen cats in the
garden. He got out his gun, fred at
them and killed seven. How many
were left?' "Six," was the answer
Wrong" he said, none were left; the
rest ran away" ! mention this to show
that he was a cheerful and playful boy
when he was about ten years old, and
that his brain was not overtaxed.

He Thinks Foed Should be Eaten Raw.

A German physician has started new
theory with regard to food. lie mains
tains that both the vegetarians and meat
eaters are on the wrong tack. Vegetables
are not moro wholesome than meat, or
meat than vegetables, and nothing Is
gained by consumiDga compound OF both.
Whatever nutritive qualities they may
possess, he says, 10 destroyed In great
measure and Otter entirely by the process
of cooking. All food should be eaten
raw. II this practice were adopted, there
would be little or no illness among
human beings. They would live their
appof toned time and simply fsde away,
like animals In wild state, from Old age.
Let those afflicted with govt, fhenmas
tism or indigestion try for time the
effect of simple unlocked diet, such a.
oysters and fruit, Tor instance, and they
will find all medicines unnecessary, and
such rapid improvement OF their health
that they will forswear all cooked articles
of food at once and forever. Intern
perance would slso, 1t il urged, no longer
be the curse of civilized communities.
The warming for drink Is caused by the
unnatural abstraction from what are
termed " sOlidso of the aqueous element
they contain--uneooked beet, tor exs
ample, containing from seventy TO eighty
per cent, and some vegetables even 9
larger proportion of water. There wsuld
be less thirst, and consequently less desire
to drink, If our food was consumed In its
natural state, without first beinf sub.
iected to the action of fire. Clothing,
our adviser also thinks, 10 . mistake, but
he admits that the world IL not yet lar
enough advanced In civilization TO 80
about uadressed. Whatever differences
of opinion may exist 40 to this anti
cooking theory, there eannat be doubt
that In getting rid Of the kitchen with
slI its abuses--including the cook
housekeepers would be spared vast deal
Of worry, and probably on this account
alone would live TO greater age than A.
present.

The Happy Moment in Boys Life.

There is a time in the life of every
boy when his spirits are buoyed on
waves OF unadulterated felicity, and
that time is on fine bracing morning
when the circus comes to town and Ia
giving its pageant.
In the country the boy who is COM
PEELED to go to school onthis eventful day
ieels what he considers punishment
more keenly than does forger his well
merited five years in Sing Sing. AS he
sits and cons his hateful lessons be feels
80 mean al does the man who buys
dollar and halt new silk scarf by gas
light and discovers on the following
morning that it is grassgreen.
His melancholy is not soothed by the
soui-meItipg strains Of sLanigan's BalP'
or "Grandfathers Clock" The happy
boy ia the one who can follow the high
ly colored wagons from street to street
and marvel at their c~ntents.
1t is one of the happiest moments OF
his life. He drives his hands into his
pockets, pushes his cap on his head, and
marches aloKg as proudly as though be
were Alexander wading up TO his neck In
human gore. His thoughts will never
be known, but they are pretty respect-
able in regard to flight and general sym
metry.
Then he goes to learn the occult mys-
terry which surrounds the creation OF a
tent. His spirits are now the acme OF
human bliss. That afternoon he goes to
the circus, and the junk man gets three
stove-Iids and a copper.bottomed pre-
serve kettle for twenty-five cents.

WHAT'S One Ballet to Basketball!

An incident occurred in the battle OF
Franklin which | have never seen ia

height, and now and then soldier who
would not face the music, and, holding
to the idea that distance lends en-
chantment, ION all such occasions would
exhibit his faith In the idea by taking
g leg baik' tor the rear. These cases
were getting too numerous toward the
close of the battle, and Col. b., A.
A. G, OF the brigade, was sent back to
tbs rear to intercept those seeking tor
safety and return them TO their respect
i've posts of duty.
Col. B. said he halted one fellow
who was making tracks tor some place

"Halt! | say, and return to your

The Aging son OF Mars took no notice

The following good advice should be
read by all men and women, especially
the latter, who are more subject to colds
than the sterner sex. says Dr. Robin
son, of the Bellevue hospital, New YORK
city. "If you start to walk home from
a downtown ofnce," he said, Sand carry
your oyercoat On your arm because the
walking makes you feel warm, you are
liable to take cold. Therefore don't do
it. If you should take the same walk
after eating a hearty dinner your full
stomach would be q protection to you,
but even then nay advice would be, don't
take the risk. A person properly clothed
may walk In strong wind Tor long
time without taking cold, but If he sits
in a room where there il slight draught
be may take severe cold in a very few
minutes. Therefore don't ait in room
where there ia draught. Unless you
are affected by peculiar nervous condi-
ton, YOU should take cold sponge bath
In the morning, and not wash yoursef In
warm water.
Plunge baths In cold water are notrec
commended, neither ID 1t necessary to
apply the sponge bath all over the body.
Occasional Turkish baths are good, but
those who have not taken them should
be advised by physician before trying
them. Warn mufdsrs worn about the
neck do not protect you from catching
cold. but on the contrary, render you
extremely liable to take cold as soon as
YOU take them of. They make the
throat tender. Ladies ought TO wear
warmer flannel uadescl0thing than they
now do ii one may judge from the articles
one sees hanging ia the show,wind0ws OF
the shops. People take cold from inhai,
ING cold air through their mouth oftener,
perhaps than by any other way. Ladies
dress themselves up Ia heavy fufs, 80
riding In their carriages, and, when they
get home, wonder how they got that
cold. 1t was by talking in the cold open
air. and thus exposing the mueuons
membranes OF the throat, The best
projection under such circumstances wss
to Keep the mouth shut. If people must
keen their mouths open ia chilly at
