We must admit that ''Volley" was rather
mischievous and ought not to have sat on
the piano, although his pranks generally
suited the occasion and company, We
didn't mean to infer in our other article
that friend "On Dit" was Mt that time in a
rough crowd, or wish for any of the local
readers and friends to so construe it. Now
the point Bro. o. d. suggested is evidently
a keen one for we fail to see it, Hope it's
not the point of his old Cap and Ball"
We will close the curtains by adding that
Volley was actually fired, not by his mis-
conduct, but in order that his friend 1.-THE
one eyed many might chase the advantages
of loves confession. Why he was called
the zone eyed man" I never new, for he
had two rs sound eyes as 1 ever saw. Per-
haps he could see as much out of one eye as
he could well comprehend.
We notice in the conclusion of your

Bill Nye 10 solve the problem.

Very Small and Mean Business.

The Waco Day is never afraid to
speak it's mind. 1t may be added
that il has considerable mind to
speak In recent issue it says
1.-THE Blair educational bill is said to
be practically dead, having met the
same fate which overlook it in the
last congress Of being smothered in
the committee. Considering the fact
that about half the democratic sena-
tors voted for it, and also that the
measure has a large support inside
the democratic party OF the southern
states, the committee may be justly
charged with using despotic power
to suppress what may fairly be as,
sumed as the will of the people.
The thing is too plain to admit OF
argument Unfortunately the prac'
tice of smothering bills which the
people wished to see become laws
has not been confined to the Blair
bill in the past and will not be in
tho future. Voters OF Texas and
other states are gradually awakening
to realization of the fact that when
they elect congressman they do not
secure the services of a servant. but
create instead a sort Of czar whose
autocratic action is governed only by
his autocratic will, leaving his nomi-
nal masters to take care of them
selves. -San Antonio Express.

Austin.

We spent day at the capital last
week after an absence Of some six
months. The fields by the way in
dicaied a backward crop, but good
stands and large breadth.
The exterior Of the new capitol is
nov complete, and presents truly
grand appearance. Austin will regard
it as "the apple of her eye" but if
she expects TO live by gazing upon it
she will be sadly mistaken, Business
will still be required to be done.
At present everything appears to
be pretty much Mt n stand.still, while
the "natiyes" are looking forward to
the great drill and celebration in
May. Doubtless there will DO vast
concourse of people on that occasion.
If Austin is equal to their entertain
ment in n comfortable style, it will
rebound TO her credit and benefit;
otherwise the reverse may prove true.
She seems to begin to realize the i'm
pending crisis, and, we trust, will
not be found wanting. We were
told it was proposed to send some o.
the surperAuous guests to San Mar
cos. All right--the Hofheinz alone
will be able to accommodate good
ly number. and in the best style.

President Lott. of the Arkansas

Gonzales, Luling, Lockhart and Aus
tin by proposition to extend his
road to said places, they to furnish
the right of way, depot grounds, and
pay in addition $1,000 per mile, and
Austin to build the bridge over the
Colorado, estimated to cost $4,000.
The entire amount of money required
would be not less than Sl50,000. 1t
remains to be seen whether these
immense bonuses can be raised. The
temptation to raise them is very great,
and, if they should be raised, it must
be confessed that the towns named
will get away badly with San Marcos

The Phrase, "The Bloody Shirt"
Classic Origin.

A studious friend Of ours has
cited us to the following passage
frcm Gibbons Decline and Fall Of
the Roman Empire, vol. Ill, p. 54S:
"The sacred duty of pursuing the
assassins of Gilman was the engine
and pretonce of his ambition. The
bloody shirt of the martyr was ex-

tho emir deplored the fate of his in

Syriaus were engaged in his service
by an oath of fidelity and revenge"

A Tendency to Change.

From the reports Of local correspond.
ents made to the agricultural department
at Washington, it Is learned that in
Florida there is a marked tendency
throughout the state to change from cot
ton TO other crops. Truck farming Is
largely increased, and other crops are be.
ing experimental with by those who for
merly grew cotton. In Alabama dispo-
sition Is noticed to increase the area de-
voted to mowings and pasture End to be-
stow more attention TO the raising of
stock
In Texas there is only slight increase
in the area of cotton. The diminished
oat acreags on account Of bad weather at
the sowing will be covered with corn and
forage crops. From Arkansas there is re-
ported noticeable tendency to change
the usual proportions Of farm crops.
There is decided increase in the planting
of forage and food crops, corn, sorghum.
oats, grapes and fruits. In the north
western counties hundreds of thousands
of fruit trees have been planted, princi.
pally apples. In Kansas the tendency
last spring was to put in more oats and
corn. There was also large increase in
the sorghum acreage in anticipation Of a
demand for sugar manufacture. In Iowa
there is general and marked falling of
in the acreage Of spring wheat as com.
pared with last year.

Every man, no doubt, used his gourd as
gourd alone. But as time went on he
began at last, apparently, TO employ it as
q model for pottery also In all proba.
bility his earliest lessons in the fictile art
were purely accidental II is common
trick with savages to put water to warm
Oh the camp fire in n calabash or gourd
with wet clay smeared over the bottom to
keep 1t from burning. Whenever tho
clay thus employed was fine enough 10
form mold and bake hard In shape, it
would cling to tho gourd, and be used
time and again in the same way without
renewal. till at last IL came to be regarded
almost as component part of the com
pound vessel. Traces Of this stage in tho
evolution of pottery still exist in various
outlying corners of the world Savages
have been noted who smear their dishes
with clay; and bowls may be found in
various museums which still contain more
or less intact the relics of the natural OBJ
ject on which they were modelled. In ono
case the thing being imbedded In tho clay
bowl is a human skull, presumably an
enemy's.
In most cases, however, the inner gonrd
or calabash, in proportion as IL was we'll
coated up to the very top with q good
productive layer of clay, would tend to
get burned out by the heat Of tho fire In
the course Of time; until at last tho Idea
would arise that the natural form was
nothing more than mere mold or model,
and that the earthenware dish which grew
up around it was the substantive vessel.
AS soon as this stage of pot making was
arrived at the process OF firing would be.
come deliberate, instead of accidental.
and the vessel would only be considered
complete as soon as IL had been subjected
to great heat which would effectually
burn out the gourd or calabash imbedded
In the center.--Grant Allen In Popular
Science Monthly.

Study of the Hypnotic State.

DR. A. Dichas has made detailed study
of the memory in the hypnotic state, and
summarizes his main conclusions some
what as follows: (D during the hypnotic
sleep the subject remembers the exper-
fences of his W. king life as well as Of
previous hypnosis; (2) in hypnotism there
10 often an exaltction of the memory, and
at times a chang2 in its content, leading
to the assumpti n of foreign person
ality; (3) the me nory OF what has been
going on during hypnosis is usually lost
it can often be revived by simple sug
gestion, and at times the memory Of a
suggested hallucination may linger on,
and influence the waking condition; az
the operator can al his will have any Of
the acts of the hypnotic state remem-
bered or forgotten by making this a part
of the suggestion; (5) suggestion seems to
be largely explicable as unconscious
memory.
DIR, Cybulski has studied the power Of
hypnotic subjects TO hypnotic them
selves. He finds that such subjects
strongly imagine for minute or less that
that the operator commands them to 60
to sleep, and the desired result ensues.
Furthermore, If the subject, on going 10
sleep, imagines himself controlled by a
certain person, then, even though another
sent him to sleep, he will be subject to
the former, and not TO the operator
These observations show the importance
of the subjective element in the process
of hypnotism, and indicate the method by
which the subject unconseiously takes
suggestions and acts upon them. DR.
Berkhan has applied hypnotism to the
amelioration of the hearing of the deaf
He tested the hearing Of nine deaf boys
and, after hypnotizing them, spoke te
them and had various noises MADE before
them The hearing of four Of them was
found TO be improved, and the improve
ment is reported as still persisting after
eighteen months Science.

cream of tartar, mixing drink by pour
ing pint of boiling water on a teaspoon
fui of the tartar, letting it cool and
tiavoring with lemon and little sugar.
A draught of this half an hour before
meals is notable purifier of the blood,
and an occasional dose of epson salts,
seltzer aperient or congress water may bc
taken, but always with the advice of a
physician. One eminent physician recon
mends the chewing of a grain or two of
roasted coffee to check abnormal craving
for food. Jellies of Iceland moss without
milk are excellent to satisfy the appetite
without making flesh; so are water crosses
and tender radishes, and all these are
among the best purifiers of the blood and
preventives of consumption.

fessor of practical, civil and military en-.
gineering at the academy.
When the war broke out in 1861 Casey
was in the west, and was not ordered
to the east until the engineer corps
was SO depleted Of officers that
no more were allowed to accept
positions in the volunteers. This kept
him at engineer duty during the whole
war. He was on special duty at tho at
tack on Fort Fisher in 1864, and for serv
ices on that occasion was brevetted, and
received the brevet of colonel and lieuten.
ant colonel for faithful service during the
civil war. For ten years, from 1867 to
1877, he was in charge of the division of
Notifications in the engineer department
at Washington, and was then placed in
charge of public buildings. Under his
supervision several important structures
were reared. In 1868 he was sent to Eu-
rope to examine tho torpedo system of
foreign nations. Ten years later he
undertook the completion Of the Wash
ington monument, which no effected in
1884. Two years ago he was made presi-
dent of the board of engineers at New
York
