UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS.
Bill Favoring This Will Give Use
to Much Debate,

The bill that has been introduced in
the senate by Mr.. Jernigan favOring a
uniform text book commission in GeOr-
gia promises to bring on interesting
discussion. The bill provides for the
appointment of commission to select
all school books used by the state
schools. and their selections are to
hold good for five years.
The bill is a familiar one in many
features, as it has come up at various
periodical sessions in the past. Cham
pions of the measure requested Gov
ernor Gambler to investigate the work
ing of the uniform system in states
where it had been tried with view to
having him make a favorable recon-
mendation in his message. The inves-
tigation was made, but replies receiv.
ed from Governor Savers of Texas,
Governor McSweeny of South Carolina
and Governor Mcmillan of Tennessee
were so unfavorable as to the workings
: OF the uniform system in their respect
i've states that Governor Gambler de-
cided not to refer to it all.
Opponents of the bill claim that the
! appointment of commission to select
all school books would take away from
the various county boards of education
their rights and would work an injus-
tice on the people whose children
would be obliged, perhaps, to study
books the county boards did not like.
1t is also argued that the appoint
mont of a commission would tend to
create ideas of Il book trust, and these
considerations perhaps had due weight
with Governor Gambler in his mes

forwards Short was at church. and his

SNAKE EMIGRATION.
Off the Coast of Costa RIGA the Water
Swarms With Serpents.

A remarkable instance of serpents
apparently en- voyage upon their own
account is 10 be witnessed bY any pas
senger on one of the Pacific mail steam
ers plying between San Francisco ano
Panama.
Of the coast of Costa RIGA there IS .
zone of muddy water about fifty miles
in breadth that literally swarms WIZ
the most venomous looking snakes
AS the ship cuts a path through tht
waves these reptiles may be seen SWIM

Cling in her wake on being churned ~

about three feet in length, and marked
alternately with sinister looking olaek
ami orange rings.
Whether or not these snakes are
naturally of marine origin does nor
seem to have been fully determined,
the exclamation offered by sailors Ia
miliar with those waters being that
they have come down one OF the rivers
flowing into the Pacific and mat theY
are on their way to some OF the many
islands off the coast.
Questionable as this theory may
seem. it receives confirmation IN the
cAse of an island much further up the
coast. about sixteen miles out from
Coronado Beach, Cal.
The island in question forms one OF
the group called the Coronado ISLANDS
AN objective point of interest to those
eastern tourists who do not fear day $

or fishing boat.
The islands themselves, barren
peaks and ridges Of some submarine
range of mountains. are undressing,
except from the fact that one only OF
their number is inhabited by hundreds
if not thousands of monster rattle
snakes.
AT some time, no doubt, they must
have crossed over from the mainland,
but why they should have selected one
of the islands only for habitat, upon
which there appears to be neither food
nor water, is a question that the ltal-
ian fishermen are unable to answer.
Still it is perhaps curious that they do
offer the opinion that the snakes on
this particular island are from time to
time recruited by fresh arrivals from
the mainland. NJ. @. WHITE.

One Touch OF Beauty.

In the dismal tenement, life often be-
comes as gray and blank as the grimy
walls. There the simplest ornament,
the commonest reminder of the COM
mandment that we must not live by
bread alone, often gives more comfort
to the very poor than the food or money
which charity supplies. The author of
"A Ten Years War" gives this picture
of one of his battles in the slums:
The stuffy rooms of some of the tene-
ments seem as if they were made for
dwarfs. Most decidedly, there is not
room to swing the proverbial cat in any
one of them.
In one, helped the children last holt

Sheen Worms.

The full treatment recommended by
the Ohio experiment station for worms
in sheep or lambs is to put gallon of
faxseed in a cheesecloth sack and
place this in q kettle with two gallons
of water and let it steep for two hours.
Then remove the bag and let it drain
thoroughly into the kettle. When the
fiaxseed tea is about as warm as fresh
ly drawn milk, put ounces into a bot
tile and add common tablespoonful of
gasoline for each sheep of 60 to so
pounds weight. Shake well for a min
ute or two, then turn into the drencning
bottle and give to the sheep. Have
the sheep set up on its rump and held
between the knees, taking care not to
throw the head farther back than the
line of the back. The sheep should be
soused in the evening and not fed be-
fore 10 O'Clock, when the dose may be
given. Allow them to remain three
hours longer without food or drink;
then let them feed until evening Re-
peat this treatment for three days, and
in weeks time give three days more
of the treatment and again repeat at
end Of ten days more, always giving
the medicine after about sixteen hours
fasting and fasting about tnree hours
Rfter giving it. The fiaxseed ten need
be warmed every time, as the gasoline
mixes better with it and passes down
from the mouth and throat to stomach.

Thnmps in Young Pigs.

Now is the season of the year that th5
young pigs begin to get so nice and fat
and lay around the pen with their
mother in the nest until they begin to
get their breath hard and finally their
sides begin to heave and thump, and if
you don't watch out they begin to die,
says Whinnery's Swine Advocate. This
diseaseis usually the fault of the owner
in allowing the pigs too little exercise.
A sow that is a good sucker of rich
milk is the one that is generally so I'M
fortunate. The best plan that l ever
have tried was to place one or two pigs
at time in a pen away from the SOW
and let them run around the pen trying
to get out This gives them plenty OF
the exercise, and if repeated often will
have the desired effect. If the case is
a severe one it is we'll at the beginning
of the treatment to give a small dose
of castor oil to the SOW or pigs.
