Abyssinian Murderers.

In Abyssinia ii Is the law that TIE
murderer be turned over to the rela-
tiyes of the dead person, they, If they
please, to put him to death in the same
manner in which the murdered person
was removed. A traveller, recently re-
turned from that country, tells of n
case wherein a boy, playing with his
companions, fell from a tree upon one
of them, killing him instantly. The oc-
currence was brought to the notice Of
the district chief, whose council, after
elaboration, decided that the dead
boys relatives might take the offender,
stand him under the tree, and then, if
they could, put him to death by falling
on him from the same tree.

Ancient Ticket. to the Theater.

During the last few years a large
number of small metal plates have
been found at diggings in Athens and
at the Piraeus, and they were common
ly considered to be sman symbols. The
Greek a~rchaeologist Svoronos has now
demonstrated beyond doubt that these
metal plates were used as tickets of
admission to the theater of Dyonisos
about the time Of Lycurgus. The i'm
ages on these theater tickets, certainly
the oldest Of their kind in existence.
show either the head of Pallas Athene.
turned to the left, or the head of a lion.
and letters Of the alphabet in single,
double OF triple arrangement. 1t ap-
pears therefore that the laws intro
duced by Lycurgus, which had such a
great influence upon Athenians in all
walks of life, extended also to the adj
mission to theaters, which was also
probably regulated by him.-Philadel

uow Tn Root Sims.

Take n shallow dish and fill with
sharp sand; wet this very wet, but not
so that it will be muddy. or so that the
water will stand ON the surface. Insert
the slips in this sand and never let it
get dried out; this is the secret of sue
cess-keep the sand wet all the time,
and remember that it dries out rapidly.
If you want to root a geranium slip
choose n that is strong, large, healthy
and not woody.
Almost anything will root in this wet
sand. If you want to root a good many
slips, a box or something that could be
covered with glass would be best. Fill
this partially with sand, and have no
drainage; insert the slips and V
with glass, put the box in a sunny Win
dow and raise the back end SO that the
box will be thrown with its entire sur
face to the sunshine. Slips will root
rapidly, and when well rooted they
may be transplanted.
If you begin early, you will have
plants for summer blooming, and those
that have bloomed during the winter
may take a rest and have their buds
pinched off to fit them for service an
other winter. 1t is a fact that a plant
will produce more flowers as it grows
older if it is cared for. CT curse plants
may get too old, but 1 think this is the
exception rather than the rule.
Now a word about pottlng rooted
slips; these must be handled with care,
and here is where the novice makes a
mistake. Do not put a tiny rooted slip
or a good sized rooted slip into a big pot,
use a very small one; it will not put he
plant back to transplant it from time to
time, it will do It good; it will make it
strong and stocky instead Of letting it
grow UP spindling and weak.
Use drainage always in the bottom OF
the pot, and for the first potting use
rather poor soil, and put sand about
the roots at first. When the plant is
we'll established and growing well,
then transplant it to a pot n size
larger, and use as good soil as it may
require; if you use the regular flower
pots the potting is an easy matter, as
the plant may be taken out with all the
dirt about it's roots and reset without
much trouble.-The Household.

Roughly

Archbishop Whately had a rough
tongue-he was called Ursa Major-the
Great Bear-at Oxford-a fact unknown
to a young aide-de-camp who at a party
in Dublin Castle attempted to cross
swords with the prelate.
Approaching the primate of Ireland,
the youth asked, Does your grace
know what is the difference between an
ass and an archbishop"
No." was the grave answer.
Then the youth went ON, IAN ass has
a cross on his back, but IN archbishop
has a o on his breast"
Very good" said the archbishop.
Now will you tell me what is the diff
ference between a young aide-de-camp,
like yourself, and an ass?"
81 don't know" said the youth.
Neither do l." said the archbishop.

Cleaning Wall Paper.

An exchange suggests the following
mode of cleaning or freshening the wall
paper: Make several bags of canton
flannel, fleece side out, of the proper
size to cover the brush Of your broom.
Sweep down the walls with these,
changing as they are soiled. After re-
moving all of the soil possible in this
way, take a fresh bag, dust it with
-four and wipe the walls with it, shak,
ing out and renewing the flour when
necessary" If you have nice paper on
your rooms, you will find it will pay
you to secure the services of a profes,
sional cleaner, who will put it through
a process which renews and freshens ii
better far than anything you can do for
it yourself.

Vegetable Fork for the Kitchen.
A new vegetable fork mas a conven-
lent arrangement of handle by which
the burning and scalding Of hands Is
prevented when taking potatoes, beets,
turnips, parsley, or any other large
vegetable out of boiling hot water. Just
back Of the fork proper is a perpendic-
ularly arranged backing, which pre-
vents anything from sliding up the
handle.
This fork is especially useful in TAX
ing doughnuts out Of the pan Of hot
lard, and in preserving and picking
work it has no equal, and makes a
pleasant task out of an otherwise risky
one. 1t is equally convenient in han
ding butter, meat, or any large piece
Of food requiring to be handled, and
will prove Indispensable to every kitch-

Do Snakes Really Bite?

A careful student Of snakes and their
ways declares that they never bite,
despite the common belief that they kill
in that fashion. In fact, says this man,
snakes can't bite because their jaws
are connected only by a cartilage, and
not hinged, and cannot be brought to-
gether with any force. The snake sim
ply hooks the fangs in its upper jaw
into the object aimed at, the lower jaw
not figuring at all. The act is very
similar to that of a man striking a
cotton hook into a bale of cotton, or a
boat hook into q pier.

Spiced Beef.

Spiced Beef.
Place VA and one-half pounds of
beef ON the fire in a kettle, with just
enough water to cover, and boil slow
ly until it is so tender that it may be
readily torn to pieces. By this time
the water should be reduced in quanti-
ty one-half, but if it is not, skim out
the meat and boil down the liquor to
the proper amount. Then return the
beef to the kettle, and with a knife and
fork tear it into shreds, mixing it with
the liquor. Add n and o%ne-fourth
teaSpoenfuls of salt and one-fourth tea
spoonful each of ground pepper, cloves,
cinnamon and allspice. Mix well, and
turn the whole into a mold. When
cold turn from the mold and slice neat
ly for serving. Excellent for luncheon.

Remarkable Ears.

Jean Baptiste Verre, a laborer, is
mentioned in the French Academy pro-
ceedings of 1922 as having ears so long
that they projected above the top Of his
head. They possessed the power of
motion, and, being the aus of great
modification to him, he had them cut
down to something near the ordinary
size of human ears and concealed the
stumps beneath his long hair.

TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL.
The Lowest Rates Ever Made to an
Exposition in this Country.

The exposition in commemoration of the
hundreth anniversary of the admis-

of grounds, interesting exhibits and num-
Der of both foreign and home attractions

bian of 1893. Located as it is on the main
line of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road it is in the direct line of travel be-
tween the North and South and can be
visited en- route with loss of but little time
The extremely low rates that have beer
established make it cheaper to go a little
out of your way, even, to take in this great
show, while its own attractions will wei
repay a special visit. Write Mr.. C. P. At

the sea is extremely transparent, so
that the fishermen a readily see the
horns Of Holsters %protruding from their

from these crannies they tie a lot Of
snails in a ball and dangle them in
front of the cautious lobster. When he
grabs the ball they haul him up.

they are in need of clothing to keep

have them. Clothing may be left with
Mr.. Ralph Cakes, who will see that they

EXTRA POLICE.

The city council at its meeting Mon
day evening voted to place another
marshal on the streets to assist Marshal
johnson. The motion was made by
Councilman Galloway and carried, and
Kent Galloway was named by the May
or and his salary fixed at $50 per
month. Just why an extra Waterman
should be named in town the size of
Caldwell is none to clear. One man
should, without difficulty, cope with
any emergency that may arise. We
have nothing againt the marshal or his
assistant, but we do think 500 a
month to guard the city is a very high
figure. If all tramps who jump off
freight and passenger cars were imme-
diately ordered or driven out of town,
one officer would have but little diff
in preserving order and guarding pro-
perry.
