Ne was Annoying. hut as Fair-MInded
Men They Couldn't DO Otherwise
Chairman Tom Carter Of the repub-
lican national committee tells OF an
incident which shows that your true
Virginia gentleman's love for cock
fighting has not lost it's edge since the
days when Lord Fairfax's lighting
cocks held high carnival.
One night, while Mr. Carter was on
his way 70 meeting OF the republican
national committee at Louisville, the
train stopped at a small town in Vir-
ginia and typical Virginia planter Of
the old school boarded the sleeper. He
carried well-loaded meal bag in one
hand and a carpet bag in the
other. He was careful TO see
that the meal bag was placed
under his berth, but allowed the por-
ter to place the carpet bag in the end
Of the car after he had passed bot
tie Of corn whisky around the circle OF
gentlemen in the smolsing-room.
At ten o'clock the passengers were
asleep in their berths, but the first
rays Of light were hardly shooting
over the hills when all were awakened
by loud 'coclSalorum" in the car.
The passengers showed their heads out
between the curtains, the porter was
aroused from his nap in the smoking
room, and the train conductor, with
eyes half shut, made his appearance in
the passageway.

asked the conductor.
II reckon that's the hallylula's of my

the Virginia gentl an from between
the curtains.

''My black and red Spanish game

"well, get him out of here mighty
quick and into the baggage car. This

"No. sab. That cock stays right

"You get that rooster into the bag

"No sab. Yc,i can go TO the baggage

"That's right. You're right. Put .em

Then the Virginia gentleman got out

In turning our attention first Of all
10 the Chinese, we find that the origin
of music with them. as with all other
nations, is in close affinity with that of
religion. The Chinese builds his world
upon the harmonious action of the
heavens and earth; regards the anima-
tion OF all nature, the movements Of
the stars and the change Of seasons as
grand ''world-music," in which every
thing keeps steadfastiy IN it's appoint
ed course, teaching mankind thereby a
wholesome lesson. One OF the found
ers OF their religion, Fo-Iii, is believed

striKged instrument still in use in
China. The close relationship that
originally existed between the
constitution OF the state and music
Is also clearly shown in Chi.

Care OF the DeoIauous Teeth.

The child receives its first temporary
tooth about the fifth month after
birth, the dentition being completed
at the age Of two years. These teeth
should be cleaned with soft brush
and warm water. The child usually
retains these teeth until the eruption
Of the permanent set, the first perma,
nent tooth appearing about the sixth
year The deciduous teeth should be
carefully watched, and when a tooth
shows decay consult your dentist and
have IL filed. At this stage the filing
is not expensive, and will save the
child much pain and trouble from an
aching tooth. The early extraction of
the deciduous teeth often causes the ir-
regularities OF the permanent set.
They should be retained until the jaw
has fully expanded 10 receive the
permanent teeth. Teach the child the
necessity Of keeping the teeth clean
and pure. The early use Of the tooth
brush will establish habit that will,
in after years, be considered a neces.
sity to health and personal cleanliness.

Every generation of man is laborer

Malice and hatred are very fretting,
and make our minds sore and uneasy.
The man who would have done so
and so if he had been there, never
gets there.
Our grand business is not to see

THEY TUMBLE UPWARD.
Deep Sea Fish Face Danger Unknown
to Other Living Things.

Deep Sea Fish Face Danger Unknown
to Other Living Things.
1t is only reasonable to suppose
that the ability to sustain an enor
nous pressure can only be acquired
by animals after generations of grad
ual migrations from shallow water.
says writer in the Popular Science
Monthly. Those forms that are
brought up by the dredge from the
depth OF the ocean are usually killed
and distorted by the enormous and
rapid uiminution of pressure in their
journey to the surface, and it is ex-
tremely probable that shallow water
forms would be similarly killed and
crushed out of shape were they sud
denly plunged into very deep water.
The fish that live at these enormous
depths are, in consequence of the
enormous pressure, liable to a curl
Gus form of accident. II. in chasing
their prey or for any other reason,
they rise to a considerable distance
above the floor of the ocean, the
gases of their swimming bladder be-
come considerably expanded and
their specific gravity very greatly
reduced. Up to certain limit the
muscles Of their bodies can counter
act the tendency to float upward and
enable the fish to regain their proper
sphere OF life at the bottom; but be-
yond that limit the muscles are not
strong enough TO drive the body
downward, and the fish, becoming
more and more distended as it goes,
is gradually killed on it's long in
voluntary journey to the surface OF
the sea- The 2eep sea fish, then.
are exposed to danger that no other
animals in the world are subject to
namely, that OF tumbling upward.
That such accidents do occasionally
occur is evidenced by the fact that
some fish, which are now known to
be deep sea forms, were discovered
dead and floating on the surface of
the ocean long before our modern
Investigations were commenced.
