AS will be noticed in the published
proceedings OF the Board of Supervis-
ors 10 this issue a new game law has
beea passed which will strike DISNEY
TO the hearts Of the lovers OF dog and
gun. Not until Dec. /, 1901, can par
tridges or wild turkeys be killed In
Grenada county, except in violation OF
the law and without the evil doer be-
ing subject 10 all the pains and penal
ties in such cases made and provided.
We are inclined to the opinion that
this order is "a wise one. made as it is
to protect the game, which is becoming
extinct from continued hunting.
Prof. James, Superintendent OF Edu-
cation. conducted an examination on
Monday, of applicants for entrance to
the I. l. & c. at Columbus and to the
A. q NJ. College at Starkville. Rich
ard Topp, Clyde D. Hill and Leon Guy
will attend the latter place while the
Columbus school will very probably
not be represented from Grenada. Only
two young ladies made application and
neither of these had made up their
minds whether they wanted to 60 for
certain or not, so they could not be
considered as candidates.

Sufferers from tabs horrible malady
nearly always inherit it - not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dornant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or nicer makes its APP
pearance - or swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part OF the body,

To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna.

eliminated from the blood--eyery vestage

known. Knowing from experience that
the mother would have little faith in
the efficacy of soap and water alone, the
doctor wisely added that she should put
certain amount of salt in the water.
The use of salt in this way being entire
ly new to the mother, she would natur-
ally conclude that this alone was the
curative agent and obey the doctors di-
rections. AS the woman was about to
leave, the doctor, as was her custom,
repeated the directions, saying: snow,
remember to give the baby the bath Of
soap and water and salt every day"
The woman looked up and asked:
"Please, lady, ken I put little sugar in
it, too?"
Sugar." said the astonished doctor.
"Why do you want to put sugar in tn"
"'Cause the baby won't take nothin'
that amt got sugar in"
And then only did the bewildered
physician realize that she had unwit-
tingly said: ''Give the baby the bath"
To the mother the word "give" meant
to feed, and the baby's salvation is
probably due to the fact that it had all
ways so strenuously objected to taking
anything that did not have sugar in it.

HEREDITARY NERVOUSNESS.
A Child who Readily Adapted the
Theories Entertained by Her
Mother.

"In every child there lies a wonder
full Deep" says Schumann, and so there
does, but few people realize how. capa-
BILE the child mind occasionally is of
grasping theories and problems, which,
being considered to be too abstruse for
its comprehension, are discussed with
more or less freedom in the presence of
children by their elders. An amusing
instance of this capability was recount
ed recently by Mrs. Almon Hensley,
president of the Woman's Society for
the Study of Life. 1t was furnished by
her little daughter, who is six years
old. Mrs. Hensley is a firm believer in
the theory that heredity is largely, If
not chiefly, responsible for physical
and moral defects In persons possess
ing them. 1t is her pet hobby. She
has made deep study of the question
and is never weary of discussing II.
A few days ago her daughter was rid
ing in Central park in buggy that was
being drawn by couple of spirited
horses. The animals were more than
usually hard to control. They reared
and plunged and manifested DISPOSE
ton to bolt. The little girl, greatly
terrified, chung to her mother, but re-
manned silent until the horses ceased
rearing and started off at brisk trot,
when, to the establishment and amuse-
ment of her mother, who had been try
ing to reassure her and make light of
her fear, she exclaimed:
"Oh, mamma, why did have a nerv-
GUS grandmother!"- Y. Times.

WATCH THE SHOULDERS.
They should BE Level, Large, Erect,
Insensfbly Descending and Del
icately Poised.

A common form of neglect is the
shoulders, which are allowed in child
hood to grow lopsided, and take on an
ungracefm stoop. Often they are
crowded so by ill-ftting corsets that
they seriously displace the collar bone.
Instead of such malformation they
should be level, large, erect, insen-
sibly descending, and well poise :,
making the waist appear round and
small. Massage and oils will do much
to tone up the neglected shoulders,
and the skin can be whitened and
made beautifully firm by this paste,
which is of Spanish origin: Beat the
whites of four eggs in rose water,
adding few grains of alum. Beat un-
til the paste is thick. Spread the
composition on layer of old linen
and apply to the neck and shoulders
at night. French ladies are so ex-
pressive with their shoulders that they
give them every advantage, as their
'sshrug" is part of French conversa-
ton. An authority on the subject
says: A difficult habit to break is that
easy, lazy manner of sagging down
when sitting, which, in addition to
sleeping on high pillows, makes so
many round shoulders and sunken
chests. People should always watch
themselves, and when they discover
the fault straighten up; but it is 50
easy to settle down in this way after
years of indulgence in the habit that
many get discouraged and prefer to
grow crooked. Let me warn you, la
dies, to be eternally vigilant in ac-
quiring a good sitting posture. The
joints you possess were given to you
to bend with, and it is almost crime
to sag down as if you had no lungs
or other vital organs. Hold in the
backbone, throw the chest out, bend
from the hips only, and so contribute
to the perfection of your figure, your
beauty and your health.-St. Louis Re-
pllblic

BURIED ALIVE.
An Indian Woman Leper Sacrificed
Herself, Hoping to Save Her
Family.

One of those extraordinary cases that
police work in India occasionally brings
to light came to notice recently almost
accidentally, in a district of the North
west provinces. Two constables, Mob
bat Singh and Rup Ram, while patrol
ing on their beat, overheard in CONVEX
sation that mali named Durba had
murdered his wife. They took the man
to the police station at once and he
there stated before the officer in charge
that his wife had been suffering from
leprosy; that latterly the complaint
had become worse, and that the woman
had desired to be buried alive, in order
that her children should not inherit the
disease. In compliance with her i'm
portunities he and his son dug a hole
outside the village and buried the wom-
an alive in it, four neighbors assisting
them In covering the unhappy creature.
The six accused have been arrested and
have confessed to the deed before q
magistrate. There seems to be no
doubt about the truth of the story,
that the woman sacrificed herself for
the sake of her children and that her
husband and those who had helped him
acted in good faith. The superstition,
however, that the self-immolation of
leper is protection against the trans
mission of the faint would appear to be
very rare one.
