Wilkinson county, Mississippi round about Fort
Adams, is beautiful retreat for any lover of ma
ture; delightful field for artists, an interesting
study for biologists. 1t is country of hills
clothed in grand forest Of magnolia, oak and
beech. The soil contains no hard rock, except in
stream beds; the material is Of shifting charac-
ter, first rich alluvs soil, then strata of clay. The
earth Cor rock, biologists would say,) having a
vertical cleavage, the whole country has a tendency
to melt and vanish away Large sink-holes form

walls around the holes, some of tremendous d.
mansions. Great masses Of earth fall after rains.
leaving bluffs along the creeks like walls, high and
smooth, and perfectly vertical. The stream beds
are wide and pebbly, strewn with agates, petrlfed
wood, bits of conglomerate and curious fossils.
Occasionally one comes upon a little strip Of sand
as white as the ocean beach. The streams wind
about and change their beds, cutting deeper into
the soft material, leaving beautiful terraces.

stream creeps along, SO small as to cause one to
look in surprise at first at the wide creek bed But
its high broken walls its fallen trees, its heaps of
red clay, torn from the banks and lying scattered
along the dry bed Of the stream, give evidence of
the mighty volume Of water which sweeps in times
OF storm down the surrounding hills. Looking

There are some first class apartments in the city
where people with children are not allowed Yes,
more than that, in leasing one, the tenant is
obliged to sign an agreement not to have any dogs
or babies. If fate and the kind old legendary
stork should bring the obnoxious and forbidden
baby, then the tenants must vacate, or kill the
baby, one or the other. As the law does not APP
prove of the latter alternative the only way to do
is to announce your disgrace and move. Then
woman is blamed for the noticeably diminishing
number in the family.
The headquarters of the Salvation Army are
heavily draped in mourning in respect to the late
Mrs. Booth, the leader of the Army in London.
Her funeral is said never to have been equaed
outside of royalty; $4,000 persons participated in
the funeral festivities. This seems like ques-
tonable combnation-butf festivities they certainly
were. The Army sold refreshments and literature
in the hall where the body was lying in state, and
attred in bright garments, they rushed to and fro
singing and visiting as though the affair was gala
in the extreme.
The Teachers Mutual Benefit Association will
hold Bazaar and Educational Exhibit at Lenox
Lyceum early in December This association was
incorporated in 1887 and is an organization of
teachers governed by teachers, for the teachers.
This is the largest association of its kind in the
educational world. 1t now has, at the end of
three years, permanent fund of $4,000. Its
sole object is to furnish pecunary aid to those Of
tits members who may stand in need of such aid.
All pecuniary relief takes the form of ennuities,
which are granted to it's members as follows:
To female teachers who after thirty years. service
desire to retire.
To male teachers who forty years SERVICE desire to
retire.
To any members who, through continuous i'll health or
other disability ncapacitaed from discharging their
school duties properly
There seems to be a great movement and
praiseworthy one in the State to look after its
aged teachers. The following was presented at

other day.

Buried for Ages.

A tomb in the south wall of the aisle
of the Trinity Chapel, in Canterbury
Cathedral, has lately been opened by the
authorities. and has yielded a great
treasure trove, according to the London
Graphic.
The tomb selected for examination by
the committee of experts" who have
been intrusted with the researches into
the history of the Cathedral. is either
that of Archbishop Hubert Walter, who
died in 1905, or of Cardinal Stephen
Langton-the great Archbishop who
joined the cause of the barons and won
the gratitude of the English by his oppo-
sition to the tyranny of John. Langton
died in 1928.
The roof of the tomb having been
raised, a stone coffin was found within,
and when the lid of this was lifted off the
body of an archbishop, fully vested, was
seen.
In the coffin were found beautiful
chalice and paten of silver gilt, gold

crozier. The vestments are beautifully

Everything was in an extraordinary

now form part of the treasures in the

who was present at the opening of the
tomb, sent to the Times an interesting
letter describing the sight which met his
eyes when the coffin lid was raised.
Beneath it, he says, lie the undisturbed

A Potato Duel.

Forty years ago ''BiIl Bowman" was a
noted circuit preacher and muscular
Christian of Kentucky At one of his
meetings local desperate created dis
turbance, and, on being publicly re-
buked by Bowman, sent him challenge
to fight
Bowman, as the challenged party, had
the choice of weapons. He selected q
half-bushel of Irish potatoes as big as his
fist for each man, and stipulated MAT his
opponent must stand fifteen PAGES distant
and that only one potato at time should
be taken from the measure.
The desperate was furious at being
thus freshly insulted, and made an in
dignant protest, but Bowman insisted
that he was the challenged man and had
a right to choose his own weapons, and
threatened to denounce the desperate as
a coward if he failed to come to time.
AS there was no way out of the box but
to light the desperate consented.
The fight took place on the outskirts
of the town. Everybody in Millersburg
was present TO see the fun. The seconds
arranged the two men in position, by the
side of each being half -bushel measure
filled with large Irish potatoes as hard as
bricks.
Bill Bowman threw the first potato.
1t struck his opponent in central spot,
and flew into thousand pieces. A veil
Of delight went up from the crowd,
which ratified the desperate, and his
potato flew wide of the mark.
Bowman watched his chance, and
every time his opponent stopped for q
potato another one hit him in the side.
leaving wet spot on his clothes and
then scattering to the four winds Of
heaven. He hit the desperate about five
times, and then the sixth potato struck
him in the short ribs, knocking the wind
completely ont of him. and doubling
him up on the grass.
The people were almost crazy witt
laughter, but Bill Bowman looked g,
sober as if he had just finished preachine
funeral sermon. The desperate was
taken home and put to bed, and there he
stayed for more than week before he
recovered from the effects of his irish
potato duel.
That was the ending of duelling n

For quarter of an hour they were un-
able to advance one inch, aud were con-

one of these charges proved disastrous to
the confederate captain. He fell from

Five men fell before they had advanced

to his shoulder and darted toward a large

shells and bullets. The rock was only a

THE coLp-wATER HABIT.
The Dangers of Intsmperate Drink
ing of Ice Water.

-9
That the idea of restraining citizens
from destroying themselves with water
has fun in it for those gifted with humor
cannot be denied and need not be evaded,
but the spirit of levity, writes Murat
Halstead in a New York letter to the
Cincinnati Commercial, should not run
riot First. let it be noted that great
deal of water is fearfully impure. The
most deadly diseases are propagated ID
it. It is the American habit at each
meal to begin with glass of ice-water.
There is not a hotel waiter in this coun-
try who does not understand this and
net upon it. of course. The ice-water
chills the stomach and dilutes the gastric
Juice. This prepares not for digestion
but for dyspepsia. The habit OF deluglng
| the stomach with ice-water has tenden-
CIV to overwork the heart. The first
thing at the German springs where heart
disease is treated is to forbid the use
of water. The reason is that the force
pump must not be overworked. When
human beings become sacks of water
| the heart has extra work thrown upon it,
and heart failure follows. The German
prescription for overworked hearts is q
mild cup of tea in the morning and even
ing No coffee and no water In case
of great thirst the mouth may be moist
ened without swallowing the liquid used,
and little dish of ice-cream is permitted
in the evening. There is not bit of a
joke about this and science is behind it.
One of the terrors of the times is Brights
disease, and the common story is that it
is in its origin alcoholic. But not long
