NOTES FROM BILLVILLE.

They may talk about money as they
will, but every time the GROWERS hear
a dollar jngling they go to dancing.
We have come to the conclusion that
this world is so bright that even the
raindrops are little beads of light.
The literary club met last night to
reform American literature. Very lit
tie was accomplished, as several po-
licemen, fully armed, were present.
The rain proved great blessing to
us. 1t killed off all the four-cent cot
ton and swept the town into a new dis
trict, where there are no tax col
lectors.
There will be no preaching in town
On Sunday. Some time ago the breth-
rem prayed to the Lord for rain, and
the rain came and washed the church
away. They have since decided that
they won't interfere in these matters

ODD AND CURIOUS.

Mississippi has post Office officially

Ten demerits is the fine at the An
napolis naval academy for raising a

When man ill-uses his mule in New
Orleans he is fined $25. Boston fines a

1t is a remarkable fact that, as a
rule, the sewing done by male tailors
is neater, finer and more uniform than
that done by women.
The English and Chinese languages
are said to be the only two among all
those known that class inanimate OBJ
jects as of the neuter gender.

IN THE FAR EAST.

The grave of an unmarried woman in
Turkey is often indicated by a rose
carved in stone.
Japan had a colder spring than al any
time in 80 years. In the middle of May
there was snow at Nikko and near
Toxic.
In Japan a man can live like a gen.
tleman on EGO year. This sum will
pay the rent of house, the wages of
two servants, and supply plenty of
food.
A recent government census shows
that in India there are 5,s46759 girls
between the ages of five and nine years
who are wives, and over 10000 who are
widows.
The Burmese have curious idea re-

lieving that male coins are unproduc-

The Price of Wood Increasing.

Cord wood is becoming a staple article
in this section and the scarcity is par
ticularly noticeable at the Bimetallic
companys works. The price of dry
pine wood has been advanced to 49, %
per cord and the company is experience
ing some difficulty of security suf-
ficient supply to keep the roasters going
even at that price. Coal is being used
altogether for fuel at the boilers and at
other places where it can possibly be
done to advantage. but it is said that
wood is essential for the roasters and it
may become necessary for the company
to ship in some wood. The scarcity Of
dry cord wood in this section is attrib-
uted to the fact that during the past
five years the amount cut was largely
governed by the amount consumed and
the increase in the consumption created
by the starting up of the works was not
taken into consideration by men en-
gagged in the wood business.
There is no question that timber is
being cut into cord wood right along
and that sufficient quantities exist to
supply the mills for some time to come,
but until the wood now being cut be-
comes sufficiently seasoned SO it can be
utilized at the rOasters the supply for
that purpose will necessarily have
to come from another source. Nearly
everyone that has some dry wood left is
hauling it to the Bimetallic and gene
raj revival of the wood business has
been inaugurated. No one appreciates
the general revival more than the wood
choppers and men engaged in hauling
and teaming generally, who, for the
past five years, have earned nothing
more than their existence, and con-
sidered themselves fortunate for doing
even that much.

THE ENGLISH LIBRARIES.

In Canada the public libraries con-
tain over 100000 volumes.
There are 1,759,oO0 volumes in the
library of the British museum and
more than 80 miles of shelving.
In 1896 the United States, according
to government statistics, possessed
4,026 public and school libraries, con-
tanning 33,051 ,S72 volumes.
There are S44 public libraries in Aus
tralia, with 1, 100000 volumes; 29S, with
$3.50, 900 volumes, in New Zealand;' 100,
with 100000 volumes, in South Africa.
There are now about $50 public Ii
braries in Great Britain, says Science.
These libraries contain over 5000, 900
volumes and issue about 27,OO0,000
books each year. The'annual attend
ance of readers is about 60,O0O,00O.

FACTS ABOUT GLASS.

Attention was recently called to the
proposed use of glass brick in building.
The most ancient glass has necessari-
ly the same component parts as that
OF to-day and the processes used seem
to have been similar in all times.
From England comes the suggestion
that glass would be better and more
lasting material than stone for making
monuments which are exposed to the
wearing action of the weather.
1t is now said that the government of
Switzerland has approved the use Of
glass for making weights to be en-
ployed with balance scales. A pecul-
iarly tough kind of glass is to be Sc
lected for that purpose.
A change from old methods is that
of fashioning glass by machine pressure
instead of molding by blowing. In the
pressed glass the articles are either
made by hand or machine pressure, and
this innovation has done much toward
making glass articles much cheaper
than formerly.
No industry except that of cloth
manufacture has contributed so much
to the comfort and advancement of
man as that of glassmaking, which is
one of the oldest of technical industries.
It's earliest home was Egypt. The Brit
ish museum has lions head of glass
bearing hieroglyphics fixing the date
at 2,4O0 years before Christ.

DRINKS IN OTHER DAYS.

The earliest mention of wine in the
Bible is reference to Noah planting
vineyard and getting drunk with
the wine.
The Roman lover, when drinking ia
his lady, often drank as many cups OF
wine as there were letters in her name
Warm water was sometimes regarded
by the Romans as an agreeable drink
the conclusion of the chief meal.
Famous among drinkers were the
Vikings. whose liquors were ale, beer,
wine and mead. Quaffing ale from the
skulls of their enemies formed one
of the chief attractions of the prom
ised Valhalla.
The Egyptians, who have been un-
gallant enough to leave behind them
delineations of the fair sex in state
of intoXication, had several kinds of
wine more than 5000 years ago, in ad-
dition to beer called hega, made from
barley.
A drink much in demand in the time
OF Chaucer was bracket, made of the
wort of ale, honey and spices. BY the
time of Edward ". drinking had be-
come so productive of crime that few
places were allowed more than two
taverns. London had to be content
with 40.
The drinks of antiquity were some
times. to say the least, peculiar. The
Greeks and Romans, whose customary
drink was wine, often mixed it with
sea water. Other ancient beverages
were honey and rainwater; honey,
salt water and vinegar, and a mixture
OF honey and myrtle seed.
Under the Stuarts drunkenness was
at it's height. Thirst provokers were
largely taken, and mans claim to
distinction was largely due to his
bottle capacity, while ladies of the
court thought it no shame to become
inebriated. The three or five-bottle
man was an object of envy to his fell
lows.
The Philipsburg mail., 1899-01-27
BOWS OF THE ANCIENTs.

The Greek bow was not more than
three or four feet in length, but was SO
stout and stiff that it required consid-
cradle strength and skill to use it.
The Romans carried the bow to Brit
ain, where it at once obtained favor,
and during the middle ages was extern
sively used, forming an important ele-
ment of the armies of that period
While universally used by the an
clients the form of the bow varied with
different nations. The Scythian bow
was in form of the letter G and the bow
of the Tartars-descendants of the
Scythians--still keeps that shape.
1t is said that the first Greek bows
were made from the horns of species
of goat, the bases being united by
means of a metallic band. Afterward
other material was used in their man.
ufacture. but they still retained their
original shape. These bows were too
short to be of much use, and, compara-
lively speaking. but small portion of
the troops were armed with them.
The English archers were said to be
the finest in the world, and their skill
decided the battles of Crecy, Poitiers
and Agincourt. The bows used were of
two kinds, the long bow and the arba-
lest or cross-bow. The arbalest was
made of steel or horn, and was of such
strength and stiffness that it was nec-
essary to use some mechanical appli-
ance to bend it and adjust the string.
The arbalesters carried culver with
so arrows and were placed in the van
of the battle.

The aboriginal population of Aus

One of the largest forests in the
world stands on ice. 1t is situated be-
tween Ural and the Okhotsk sea. A
wall was recently dug in that region,

$50 feet the ground was still frozen.

The Paris Ice company has con-
ceived the idea of making some of the
glaciers furnish the ice needed for con-
sumption. the last winter having been
so mild that their other resources
failed, and they have accordingly laid
the Du Casset glacier under tribute.
A curious incident occurred dur

Lincoln, Neb, February CIV. J.
Bryan expressed no surprise at the
ratification of the peace treaty and
commented briefly on the matter.
When the Associated Press c%orrespon-
dent asked him if the ratification of the
treaty would end the fight against the
annexation, he said
Not by any means. While many
have thought that the fight should be
made against the treaty l have felt that
the real fight is to be made for a reso-
luton declaring the national policy
The opposition to the treaty has served
a useful purpose and the opponents OF
the ratification made a gallant fight
but there was never any chance of de.
feating ratification. Now that the
treaty is out of the way, it can be
treated as a domestic question and the
line can be drawn between those wht
believe in forcible annexation anl
those who believe that the Philippi
O should be allowed to govern them
selves. l have not lost faith in tn,
doctrine of self-government and be
lieve that the people will repudiate thA
imperialistic theory"

The Revision Bill DOwned i'm Com
mfttee

Paris, February 6.-The parliament
airy committee, by a vote Of 9 to 2, to-
day rejected the governments bill pro-
viding that all cases of trial revision
be brought before the whole court of
cessation instead of before criminal
section of that court. The commit
tees decision was reached after the
premier, NJ. Dupuy, had presented the
governments views and lac strongly
urged the adoption of the bill.
The committee also resolved to pub
lish all the documents connected with
the report of MaZeau, first president
of the court of cessation, on his in
quiry into the charges of M. de Beau
repaire.
M. Dupuy declares that the govern
ment will resist all amendments to the
revision bill and make it's passage a
question of confidence.
