Bicycles pinching the Shoe Trade.

''Talk about the street railways losing

shoe salesman. 81 think it is the shoe

incident Of my life which have never told in

The Horned Rattiesnake.

The oldest specimen of the snake
family known to the American natural
1st, not taking into consideration the
two headed snake and other monstrosi
ties of that ilk, is the horned rattle
snake, which up to a few years ago was
thought to be one of the rarest as well
-as one of the most poisonous of serpents.
Prior to the time when DIR. c. Hart
Merriam made the famous Death valley
exploring expedition, i'll 1892 3, but few
specimens of it, and those mostly from
the western desert regions, had been col

that Death valley is literally alive with

r.. o,a standard For N. yard.


The yard is the British and American
standard Of length. Down to 1924 the
original standard of Britain (and from
which ours was copied) was rod,
which had been deposited in the court
of exchequer. London, in the time OF
Oueen Elizabeth. In those days all
measures intended for general use were
taken TO the court of exchequer to be
examined by the proper officer. Ihat
official took the proposed measure ana
placed il parallel with the standard
and if found correct placed certain
marks of Identification upon 1T. by an
act of parliament in 1924 the old Eliza
bethan standard was superseded by an
other. which had been constructed under
the directions of the Royal society I'd
wears previous. This act provided that
''the straight line of distance between
the centers of two points in the gold
studs in the brass rod now i'll the custody
of the clerk of the house of commons
shall be the genuine standard OF the
yard measure in Great Britain" The
act further provided that the measure
ments of the rod must be made when
the temperature of the brass was at 62
degrees L.
That standard was destroyed by fire
in 1884, and the commission appointed
to replace it made the yard measure
now in use. The new standard was de-
posted in the house of parliament in
1856, and authenticated copies of it are

On a Long Tram,

A colored man passed through Jones'
boro last week on his way to Virginia,
where he was raised and which he left
a half century ago. If he told the
truth he is the champion tramp of the
world. He has ~traversed Canada and
the Pacific slope on foot, crossed the
lsthmus of Panama, and perambulated
nearly all the countries of South Amer
lea. He had walked all the way from
Central America on this trip and was
en- route to his old Virginia home. He
carried a blanket on his shoulder which
served him for a bed at night and his
feet were wrapped. in sacking to which
long, broad leather soles were attached
by leather strings. Before the war he
was sold on the auction block for ST.
800 and said he would not now bring
two shillings. He is about seventy five
years old.

Washington County Historical Society.
We regret that we omitted to make
mention last week of the meeting of
this Society on Washington's birthday.
The occasion was highly enter tanning
and instructive, The paper on "Andrew
jackson as a Judge" by Capt. A. S.
Deaderick was most happily conceived
and bore evidence of the most careful
and painstaking research. The author
had thoroughly explored the dusty
archives of our courts and found many
deeply interesting facts connected
with Old Hickory's career as a Judge
that have never before been published.
This paper will be one of the most
valuable treasures of the Society. Capt.
Deaderick's paper was a part of the
previous program which was continued
over,
The general topic of the last meeting
was George Washington. Was he a
statesman in the more enlarged mean
ing of that termY was the subject of
5. g. Williams paper. j. S. Mathes'
paper discussed the question "Wherein
over all his contemporaries does he
merit the appellation Father of his
country" Tomlinson Fort viewed
Washington las a typical soldier.n
These papers were all carefully pre-
pared, and full of interest and enter
tainment. The meeting was an entire
success, and the Society is now an as.
sured fact.
