Bermuda grass will thrive on any
Kind of soil and makes compact car
petlike sod, grows luxuriantly if given
sun and moisture and will make pas
ture that will last lifetime. 1t will
not thrive in much shade. 1t is a SUI
perlor lawn grass and is used in the
south for that purpose in preference to
all others. 1t is used largely in the
south, too, as a pasture grass where
small helds are turned permanently into
pasture for two or three COWS. The
blades ale small, but grow thickly, and
II not cut or grazed down will grow a
foot or 10 inches high. In central Lou

A THRILLING RAILROAD ADJ
VENTURE.

The trainmen of the pay car which
passed down the railroad on Saturday,
9th of June had an exciting adventure
above the ordinary ven in their dan
gerous business, which is so full of
fatal accidents and hair breadth es
capes. When the train approached
Krauss' crossing on the Huntsville and
Nottingham road which is on the down
grade and about n mile west Of
Rising Sun, the engineer saw a little
child walking the track that paid no
attention to the signals Of the approach
train. Instant death to the child IVES
certain unless it could be got off the
track. In this critical emergency fire
man Nelson went through the lookout
window and reached the cow-catcher
in time to kick the child off the track
and in the ditch at the side of the
road. AS soon as possible the tain
was stopped and the men hurried back
to the child who lay more dead than
alive apparently. The child about two
Y6dES O4uS WAS Cd114CO 4AOO VAO 0ON0O
which is situated on the bank ten or
twelve feet above, almost on the road.
David Maher occupies the house, ard
when the limp child was taken in, Mrs.
Maher, it's grand mother tainted. The
child soon recovered and when the
train was stopped On its return to see
how the child was getting on, to the
surprise and qualification Of the men,
they found the little one out at play.
The mark Of the heavy boot of the fire
man was in it forehead. The blow
which had hurled it from death was
hard enough to stun temporarily but
fortunately not to permanently tnjure
the baby.
The place is a very dangerous spot
for children to reside. The adventure,
though of a more than ordinarily thrill
ing character was kept remarkably
Iquiet for several days. Mr. Nelson

A ~PINAFORISH SCANDAL.
Lord Rosebery Said to Have Been Lowry
Born,

Lord Rosebery Said to Have Been Lowry
Born.
Chicago Inter Ocean says: A Pima
forish scandal of which history will
never take cognizance has resumed
vogue among gossipers in England.
The story goes that there was a mixing
up two children in the case of the
person of Lord Rosebery and the son
of the young lords foster mother, wife
of a groom; that the real lord died
some years ago, and that the false lord
put a fine memorial over his playmate's
grave. 1t is explained that the change
of the boys was made by the ambitious
mother of the groom's son, but that
when she revealed her secret it was
too late to effect a remedy.
From the American point of view
the best thing that can be said is that
if Great Britain has any more of the
Rosebury breed of stable boy she can't
be too quick in trotting them out.
Meanwhile the above tale will make a
a true story" chapter for a penny

he has no other counterfeit money In
in his possession and can plead ignor-
ance.
False money is largely circulated In
the south, where almost anything that
bears a reasonable close resemblance to
national currency is readily accepted.
Several dangerous silver counterfeits
are in general circulation in this coun-
try at present. The most successful Of
them all is the hard dollar" as it is
called. 1t is such a perfect imitation
of the original coin that it's appearance
will DECEIVE an expert on close examina-
ton. Even acid test it withstands.
Though a couple of grains light, abra-
sion might be supposed to account for
that. In short, there is no way of
proving it bad except to cut deep into
it and then apply the acid. Obviously,
it would scarcely be practicable to en-
ploy this method of inquiry with
every ''plunk" that one handles. This
piece, which may be considered the
finest coin counterfeit ever produced,
was struck with dies and afterWard
plated in silver. Of the latter metal it
has a coating worth 90 cents. In imita-
ton silver powdered glass is ordinarily
utilized to give the requisite ring
