Whitecotton to-day signed the Hall medical
practice bill. and announced:

the chief executive signs measure the
implement with which the final touch is put
to the coveted measure.
In the case OF a bill passed by the As

When Children Smoked.

Jorevin de Rochefort, who published
In Paris in 1911 an account Of his traT-
els in England, tells the following:
"While we were walking about the
town (Worcester) he asked me If it was
the custom in France as in England
that when the children went to school
they carried in their Satchel with their
books a pipe Of tobacco. which their
mothers took care TO fill early in the
morning. it serving them instead OF
breakfast, and that at the accustomed
hour every one laid aside his book to
light his pipe, the master smoking with
them and teaching them how to hold
their pipes; and draw in the tobacco"
In England at the time Of the great
plague it was reported that no one !iV-
ing in a tobacconist's house fell sick Of
the disease. This caused a great de-
mand for tobacco. Hearne says in his
diary, 81 remember that I heard for
merly Tom Rogers, who was yeoman
beadle, say that when be was a school
boy at Eto1 that year when the plague
ragged all the boys Of that school were
obliged to smoke every morning and
that he was never whipped so much in
his life as he was one morning for not
smoking"

The Satisfaction In Travelling Alone.
"Oh, the pleasure Of eating aloner'
wrote Charles Lamb in one Of his most
expansive letters. We are not quite sure
how serious lie was in tho c1ciama ton.
But change eating" into travelling
and there may be found thousands who
will echo t::c Cry. Thackeray thought
there was nothing to equal it. Louis
Stevenson, in the Cevennes, made the
same discovery, for his donkey cannot
be said to count.
Jean Paul Richter, though he did not
live in touring times, was too accom-
plished an individualist (of the senti-
mental kind not to harp on this music

that we pay IN all Our actions to the
judgment Of others as the poison Of our

Translated into palmer speech, Richter's
words may read thus, UNLESS you can

A Garden OF MIL.

The Mill: garden Of Frankfort, re-
served for the children Of that arlsto-
cratic city, is in itself one Of the most
democratic Of places. Here rich peo-
pie who wish to be relieved for g. time
Of the presence Of their children send
them, accompanied by their nurses.
Here also poor people who can neither
afc-' to devote their own time to their
chilo. en- nor hire separate nurses for
them may bring their little ones, GER
tain that from the garden nurses they
will receive all the care and attention
necessary to safety, health and amuse-
ment.
Private nurses Of the rich people and
public nurses Of the working people are
subject to a supervision sufficient to
protect the children Of all classes from
cruelty and neglect. The only food fur
nished in the garden IS milk, whose
freshness and purity are assured, mas
much as it is drunk warm from the
mild eyed COWS which occupy stalls on
one edge Of the field.

PecuIiaritses OF Footpaths.

Footpaths are what roads are not,
natural productions, just as the paths
made by hares, deer and elephants are.
No one really makes footpath-that
is, no one improves it. What is true Of
central Africa is true Of England.
''The native paths" wrote Professor
Drummond, "are the same in character
ell over Africa. Like the, roads Of the
old Romans, they run straight on
through everything-ridge and noun
tain and valley-Dever shying at OBJ
stacles nor anywhere turning aside to
breathe. Yet within this general
Observation-Disclosures there is singu-
lar eccentricity and indirectness in de-
tail. Although the African footpattI
is. on the whole, q bee line, no fifty
yards Of It are ever straight. And the
reason is not far to seek.
'If a stone is encountered, no ma"
tive win ever think Of removing it,
Why should he? It is easier to walk
around it. The next man who comes
by will do the same: He knows that a
hundred men are following him. He
looks at the stone moment, and it
might be unearthed and tossed aside;
but. no, he holds on bis way. 1t would
no more occur to him that that stone
is displaceable object than that fel-
spar belongs to the orthoclase variety.
Generations and generations Of men
have passed that stone, and it still
waits for man with an altruistic
idea."- ."-Spectator.

The Rirbt Arm, and Left Foot

The right arm is always little lar
ger than the left. but the left foot is
almost always larger than the right.
presumably = because while nearly every
msn uses his right arm to lift weight
or strike blow he almost invariably
kicks with his left foot, while the
lounger stands on his left leg and let's
his right fall easily, because be has
learned by experience that this Is the
best attitude he can assume to prevent
lassitude and fatigue.
This constant bearing Of the weight
on the left foot makes 1t wider than
the right, and it often happens that a
man who tries on shoe on the right
foot and gets close fit has to discard
the shoes altogether because he cannot
endure the pain caused by the tight
ness Of the left. II when riding on
the street car you will take the trouble
to notice, you will see that in laced
shoes the gap is much smaller on the
right foot than on the left. while with
button shoes the buttons have to be
set back ten times on the left shoe to
once on the right.

Perfectly Plain.

Uncle Rastus. who was seeking in
formation concerning mushrooms, had
been referred by q preternaturally SOL

ing that dignitary.

D musharoon I'm a toadstool:"
"Willingiy," replied the professor.
I'm the first place, you must remember
that the Ananita phalloides, or deadly
agaric, closely resembles the Agaricus
campestris, or edible fungus, which IS
our common variety and absolutely in
nocuous. Next, it will be necessary to
fix firmly in your mind the distinguish
ing marks or characteristics of the
Agaricus campestris, which are these:
A pileus not covered with excrescence-
like scales; gills Of Il brownish purple
when mature; stalk solid and approx
mateIy cylindrical; ring near the mid
die Of stalk; base not dubious and not
sheathed by membrane. The distin-
gushing characteristics Of the Amanita
phalloides, CT deadly agaric, are these:
Pileus destitute Of distinct eXcres-
cences; white gills, hollow stalk; large
ring and prominent bulb at base, with
membranous upper margin. Bearing
these points of differentiation fully in
mind you will never be at . loss to
determine which variety YOU encounter

A Traale With En- -lisE

The pitfalls of the English tongue to
a foreigner are many. 4 Frenchwom-
an who has undertaken housekeeping
in New York thought she had a good
working knowledge Of the language,
but soon discovered her mistake.
One day she called carpenter and
planned with him to have some work
done about the house in the way Of
putting up shelves, ETC., and she went
over the ground with him as carefully
as possible to get from him an estimate
Of what it would cost.
After the work was done the bill sub
mitted was considerably in excess Of
the sum first named. The Frenchwom-
an endeayored to demonstrate, but only
succeeded in making the following re-
markable statement to him:
"You are more dear to me than when
we were first engaged" New York

The worlds almond crop, exclusive
Of those raised in California and the
west, comes from Italy, Sicily, Ma
jorca, Spain, France, Portugal, Mo-
rocco and Algiers. The highly priced
Jordan almonds come from Malaga,
Spain, and not from the Jordan river,
as many people suppose. The common
almond is the most indigestible Of all
the nuts and contains very little nour-
ishment. There are many ways, how
ever, in which it is advantageously
used as q desert or as favoring.
One peculiarly about the almond tree
is that it's leaves contain prussic acid
and are therefore poisonous, while the
fruit may be eaten with impunity.

Why are They Talking?

Some of the newspapers which
have very little political power
seem to be scared nearly to death
at the mere mention of the name
of McLaurin. They try to ridi-
cule the idea that McLaurin has
a strong and growing following,
but still they manifest the great
est fear of the result of the
election next year.
The opposition may ponder
these facts:
/. Vindictive expressions and
malicious misr epresentations S
gain nothing for the cause in
whose behalf they are uttered.
2. McLaurin has the vantage
ground. In his writings he is
fair, logical, analytical, convinc-
ing, and progressive.
8. Tillman and his imitators
are not made that way. They
seem to be endowed with a sur
felt of malignity, and have not
