Brother Tatum has not profited as
much spiritually by publishing Il
religious daily whole week, as was
hoped for. In fact the Obion Dem
ocrat has gone back, as the SOW re-
turns to her wallow, so to speak,
and the last state is worse than the
first. The wickedness of Josiahism
is plainly to be seen cropping out all
through the paper, and with greater
fear of crow before its eyes, than
torments of sheol, it turns to lectur-
ing the brethren of "rabid fdctional
journals" on the consequence of the
unsavory dish, just as if Christian
would not prefer crow as the last re-
sort rather than the purified carcas
il feeds upon. Now if Brother Ia.
tum's membranous reservoir has the
capacity of cuppusing Josiah with
his palace Pullman car, Tennessee
bank depositors, the whisky trade,
the penitentiary and Tennessee Coal
Iron and Railroad, with Dubose
thrown in, why should he revolt at
little crow?

Plezzurcs make folks acquainted with
each other, but it takes trials and grief tew
make them know each other.
1t IL curious fakt, that the meanest
pashuns ov our heart are the strongest
when VIC hav grown old, and the best ones
the weakest.
Truth doesn't require the aid ov elegant
and high stepping words tew express its
force or buty; it IL like water-tastes better
out ov wooden bucket than it due out
ov golden goblet.
Them folks who are sudden amt apt tew
be solid; lively streams are alwus shallo

ence we looze in zest.
About the meanest critter tharc IL now

A Comb ON Eiro.

curious accident which happened in
Paris points out possible danger in the
wearing of combs and bracelets of cellu-
loid A little girl sat down before the fire
to prepare her lessons. Her hair was kept
back by what was called crop comb"-a
semicircular comb Of celluloid As her
head was bent forward to the fire, this be-
came warm, and suddenly burst into flames.
The ehilds hair was partly burnt off, and
the skin of the head so injured that several
months after though the burn was healed,
the cicatriX formed white patch on which
no hair would grow. The burning point
of celluloid is about 1870 dogs. Fair; and
the comb worn by the girl had attained the
heat as it was held before the fre.-Mon-
treal Star.

only Three Hundred RemnIned.

Local story tellers spin the following
yarn: IT'S said that a party of the towns
people dubbed together and visited New
York city. One evening during a ramblt
upon the street a member of the party be
came separated from the others. After an
Intellectual search he bethought himself OF
the theatre as being the most likely to at
tract Ills bucolic fellows. He chose the
most pretentious edifice, paid his money
and went in. At the first opportunity, be.
tween the acts, he arose and inquired in a
loud voice;
rs there man in this hall by the name
of Jones2 If so, will he please stand upY''
One thousand people, as the searcher
afterward related it, Immediately rose to
their feet.

The most remarkable of mind reading
exploits, known as the wire test, was given
/ by j. Randolph Brown in the presence of a
large party of congressman and Others
An insulated copper wire was used. One
end ce :. TTss iireid by Brown across his
forehead. The other end was taken pos
session of by a gentleman selected from
the party and stranger to Brown At a
signal this gentlemen placed the end of
the wire upon his forehead He opened
his watch and looked at the number en-
graved upon it, Brown, at the other end
of the wire and with his eyes blindfolded.
wrote the number, figure by figure, upon
a blackboard. The test was performed
under such conditions as to make fraud or
trickery impossible
The gentleman who opened his watch
frankly admitted that he did not know
what the number was until then The fig
ures were small. He made a mistake in
one figure, thinking six was five. The
mental telegraph was true to the blunder.
The figures which brown traced upon the
blackboard were exactly as the gentleman
thought he saw them in the watch There
was absolutely no possibility of communi-
cation between the two men except by the
wire. 1t was a clear case of mind tele-
graphing to mind. Brown has been ex-
perimenting on distances. Ex-Governor
James Pollock, of Pennsylvania, held the
wire at Wilmington, Del, not long ago,
while Brown, at the Philadelphia end,
twenty-eight miles away, successfully wrote
numbers upon which Pollock fixed his
mind. This wire feat of Browns is far in
advance of anything which has hitherto
been performed in the way of mind read

The Twenty Moons of the Solar system

The Twenty Moons of the Solar System
The solar system has twenty moons OF
these the earth boasts but one, Latin name
Luna; Mars, two, discovered by Aseph
Hall, Aug 10, 1877, named by him Deimus
and Phobus, at the suggestion of Rev. H
q. MADAM, of Elton, Mass. Jupiter has
four, all discovered by Calico, who saw
three of them Jan. Z, 1910, and the fourth
on the 13th of the same month. As gen
erai rule they are not called by name, but
as |, 2, and 4, according to their nearness
to the planet around which they revolve,
the names 10, Europa, Ganymede and Cal
listo, proposed by Mayer, having never
come into general use.
Saturn has eight moons, named in order
of their nearness: o. Mimas, 90 Enceladus,
(3) Tethys, az Dione, (5) Rhea, 60 Titan,
~ Hyperion, (S) Japetus. Titan was dis.
covered by Huygens, March %, 1855; Jape,
tus, by Cassini, Oct. rs, 1871; Rhea by Cas-
SIM, Dec. "a, 1872; Tethys and Dione by
Cassini, in March, 1884; Enceladus by Sir
William Herschel, Aug. %, 1889; Minis by
Sir William Herschel, September, 1889, and
Hyperion by Professor Bond, of Cambridge,
Mass, Sept. l6, 1913.
Uranus has four satellites, named in order
of nearness as follows; 1) Ariel, (2) I'm
briel, (9 Titania and a. Oheron. Titania
and Oberon were discovered by Herschel
Jan. II, 1887, and Umbriel by Otto Strive
Oct g. lS41; Ariel by Lassell, Sept. IA, 1847.
Neptune, like the earth, has but one moon.
but that one is enough to swell the grand
total ofmoons in the solar system to twenty.

The Columbia Herald, a red hot
Josiah paper, has been digging up
Cousin Jere Baxter's deposition in
the case of the l.. Il N. railroad VS..
John H. Savage, taken October 4,
1884, by consent, in which Mr.. Bax-
ter convicts himself of employing
lobbyists to defeat the caucus rail
road commission bill, which the
Herald parades as an Offset to Patter-
sons lobbying for the payment of
the Tennessee Bank deposltors, about
$1,7O0,0O0 of which he and his col
leagues, ALI. Taylor, Rod Butler q
Co., were to get half for their ser
vices. This is bal indeed for Cousin
Jere, and it must be very ugly for
the morals of the State when the
people conclude they must choose
between two such men for a COVER
nor.
But there is very wide difference
between the acts and the confessions
of the two men, to which we would
invite the attention of the Herald,
since it has shown such cOmmenda-
BILE disposition to expose the evil do
ings of men seeking high Office at
the hands of the people.
Jere Baxter, in courageous,
manly sort of way, by his own con-
sent, voluntarily confesses, under
oath, that he did employ lobbyists
and paid them with his own money
to defeat a measure which would
greatly damage his own personal in
terest, defeat all railroad building
schemes in the State, stop the flow of
capital to Tennessee and the progress
of new development. This is Jere
Baxter sticking to his corner lot rail
road coal and mining platform. I'm
Gle Josiah did not employ lobbyists,
but appeared in person as q hired
man on contingent fee, trying to
induce the legislature to saddle
debt of nearly two millions of dol
lars, or might be five millions, on
the people of Tennessee, half of
which was to be paid TO himself and |
associates for services rendered
Now he does not come up on his
affidavit to show that he believed
the State was to be benefited in any
way by the passage of the bill, but
when charged with the ugly
business he comes up whining and
says he did it as n lawyer.
If Uncle Josiah expects to escape
the devil and slip through the pearly
will be the worst fooled man that
exer undertook to travel the road to
Jordan. How different, how much
more penitent and Christian-like,
was the open, frank, manly con-
fessiOn of Cousin Jere, and like the
suspended criminal who confessed on
the cross, saying, Lord have mercy
on my soul, may Cousin Jere not
hope to find corner lot set apart for
him within the pearly gates
The esteemed Herald should take
notice of these points of defense, and
moreover, it might entertain its
readers on a couple of chapters from
the House Journal of 1888, giving
Uncle Josiah's brilliant exploits and
in freeing the Pullman
Palace Car Company from $500
year privilege taxes, also his efforts
to drop the wholesale whisky dealers
from the tax list, while taxing the
retailers, to all of which he makes no
answer, but was no dobt acting in
the capacity of IA lawyer as well as a
representative Of the people. Il

The advantage over ordinary bars is
that the weight can be adapted to the
