The democracy of Mississippi have nothing to fear from the ticket to be nominated by the populists. as it stands no earthly show of election. Outside of a few counties the populists have little voting strength. The best they can hope for is to maintain their organization. which is fast breaking up in some coun- ties, and elect a few members of the legislature, who, however, will have no influence in shaping egislation.-Clarion Ledger.

 Resolved That the populist party of Mississippi tender it's most grateful ac- Acknowledgements to Senator J. z. George for his recent very able and exhaustive populst speech, delivered at Winona, July Is.
 The resolution was smothered in com mittee, but it should have been adopted with a whoop, and doubtless it would have been but for the jealousy of the leaders in the convention. Georges speech was the ablest populistic deliver ance that has yet smitten the air of Mis- sissippi.-Scimiter.

Cotton Seed Feed.
A correspondent Or. n. P.-Reidsville,
4. c. writes; Win you kindly write me
your opinion in regard to the value of
cotton seed feed" as prepared at the
mills as an economical food compared
with other foods raised on the farm?
Do you think it will do to feed it to
horses and mules?
Cotton seed meal is one of the most
valuable and cheapest foods for stock
we have on the market. 1t is now be-
ing fed in small quantities to the Sta
tons mules but is not being relished
by them.
Cotton seed hulls are course food con-
tanning little digestible matter. They
are, however, an excellent medium for
dividing fine meal in the animal
stomach. Please note pages 423 to 426
of Bulletin 100 which bears directly Cd
your question.
See also articles II to V in Bulletin
81. The digestibility of cotton seed
hulls as laid down in the latter. has
been reduced by later work. Cotton
seed feed of the mills corresponds
nearly to rations numbered 3 and 4,
mage 421 of Rulletin 100 (apDrOximatelv
5 ibs hulls to l ID. meal).
Their use for stock depends on price
of straw and its preparation. With
straw or corn stalks on hand no one
can afford to waste either to buy hulls
ready mixed with meal. 1t will pay
farmers as well to follow Bulletin 104
in saving stalks and thus mix their own
feed as cotton ''seed feed" pays the oil
mill men.

nutrients per ton of food:

That was rather u neat way friend
of mine got the better of hoodlum
gang of snowballcrs one day reccntly,n
said Horribly at the club, according to
the New York Sun. "Thcrc were about
fifty boys of various sizes and ages,
most of them above ten years, and they
had taken complete possession of
block on one of the cross streets ND
town. Every man who came into that
street was snowballed out of it, and
the drivers and their horses were MGR
cilessly pcltcd. Whenever policeman
would come in sight lookouts would
notify the gang and they would move
to another block and the reign of ter
ror would begin there. If "a man de-
cided to chase one part of the gang the
others would move up close behind him
and make the attack so terrific that in
nine cases out of ten he would Ike Glad
to flee for his safety.
''This friend of mine happened along
when such n bomburdmcnt was poinp
ON, and he saw man wild with ragc
escape with hat gone and clothes be-
spattcrcd from head TO foot Now it
was necessary for my friend to/ go into
that street to serve o legal paper He
saw the houscholdcrs crowdinG to their
windows and enjoying the sport almost
as much as the boys, and he knew that
when his turn came not only must he
run the gauntlet of a terrific fire, but
he must be subjected to the ridicule
and laughter of the spectators. He
shut his lips tight and went in. He
had been particular to notice heap of
pretty clean snow about one hundred
feet from where the attack would be-
gin. His hat was soon knocked off and
the snowballs We're pounding him on
the bare head and on his clothes. He
made for that heap of clean snow as
steadily as he could, and Just as he
reached itand just as ball struck hun
on the head nenr one of his cars he
threw up his hands and fell into that
snow as if he had becnknoclscd uncon-
scious.
"Hc had planned this from the start.
There were cries from the spectators,
and shouts that the man had been
killed. Instantly every one of those
street Arabs fed, and in the twinlsling
of IN eye not one was to be seen. It
was an easy matter for my friend to
pull himself together again. and then
he went ON unmolested."

a Fsirirse InReuuftv.

Enormous business has been done
lately at French fairs by man who
professed to sell rat powder that was
perfectly harmless and that struck rats
dead on the spot. In order to convince
the slscptical, the man, first of all, pow
dered slice of bread with the stuff,
md ate piece of it himself. Then he
put the remainder under glass case, in
which rat was kept in captivity. The
rat went to eat the bread and instant
ly fell dead. At Ave pence box the
powder went off like hot rolls, and the
lucky proprietor of the specific was in
fair way to make q fortune. But the
police, who in France are very active
in protecting the people from fraud,
looked into the matter and found that
the powder was nothing but ordinary
sugar. They also discovered that the
case was connected with a powerful
electric battery and the moment the
rat touched the bread the current was
turned on, and it was thus his death
was brought about. The man was ar
rested ut tho fair of Abb, and he has
been sentenced to Gftccn days impris-

ABOUT QUEEN VICTORIA.

Three Stories That Are Interesting Con-
corning EnElands Sovereign.
For many year after her husbands
death Queen Victoria would never con-
sent to be photographed, save in very
lugubrious trim and with the prince
consort's bust or portrait we'll in Sight.
Much livclier now that she is much old
CT, her majesty to-day sits for artists in
grand array as well as everyday clothes,
and some of her favoritc Jewels and
laces have thus become we'll known to
the public. The severely criticised or
naments bedcclSing the sovcrcign's head
and chest on the jubilee coinage may
be recognized as studies from actual
jewels much beloved by her majesty.
Sir Edgar Bochm had hard time of it
with outsiders when those coins were
first issued, but he was amply compen-
stated by culogiums falling from royal
and imperial lips upon the charming
way he had rendered that favorite neck
lace, brooch and earrings.
The queens money from the state is
all paid up in advance to the 31st of
March next, and so are all the annui-
ties that are granted to the prince of
Wales and the other members of the
royal family, and Coutts', the bankers,
arc the only persons who know how the
royal accounts stand. The thirty-six
thousand pounds year allowed for the
children of the prince of Wales remains
at the same amount as it was before the
death of the duke of Clarence, and this
money will continue to be paid till six
months after her majesty's demise.
On each anniversary-or the annual
celebration of the queens Wedding
the beautiful painting of tho marriage
of her majesty is brought into the royal
dining-room and decorated with white
silk rosettes. In this painting the
queens mother and the beautiful duch-
ess of Sutherland, mistress of the robes,
show to great advantage. The curtana
