ton of America and all other automo-

From Far-off Land.

The RECORD is in recelps Of
circular letter from H. V. An
drews of Dholka, Guyaret, India,
who is in charge of the Boys
Orphange at that place. The
document is of special interest
as coming from Mr.. Andrews,
who is son-in-law OF David
Mahaffey of this place, and well
known and greatly respected by
the citizens OF Jennings.
He has charge of 400 boys at
the present time and han assum-
ed d grave responsible position,
that requires constant aud dill
gent attention.
He reports that the cloud OF
adversely still hangs heavy over
this sorely stricken land. This
year, drouth, locusts and rats
got in their destructive work and
water famine is greatly feared
and the familiar famine scenes
of 1900 are again appearing.
though on mailer scale,
From this cause orphans are
constantly arriving, and doubt
less will for months, us lon" as
there is room for them, and un,
less additional rooms can b..
built for them many will have to
be turned away.
Mr.. Andrews makes an APP.
peal for aid, from which we q uote:
"When we think that Is dollars
year or cents for each work
ing day will provide for the sup.
port and education Of one OF
these boys, where he will not
only be away from idolatrous
practices, but under the teach
ing and influence of the Gospel,
surely no one can refuse to deny
themselves a little to accom- plish
so great an end. Surely in do
ing it unto one lof these you will
do it unto Him. In this way you
may adopt q boy, which will ad d
great interest to your givinR,and
by making him a special object OF
daily prayer. you may bless the
boy. Many yet remain to be
adopted. 1t would greatly re-
joice our hearts if each boy were
being thus individually prayed for,
The amount may be paid q uarter

Relative Length of the Seasons.

If the yaac be divided into two sea-
sons, the warm and cold (the warm
season including the time when the daily
temperature is above the annual aver
age), it is found that the warm season
is longer than the cold for nearly all
parts of the United States The eXcep-
tons are in the Rocky Mountains region
and in certain small areas in the lower
Lake region and the middle Atlantic
States. The longest warm season is in
the Northwest, and on the middle Cali
fornia coast, where it exceeds the cold
season by thirty to fifty days.
The longest cold season is found in
the Rocky Mountain region where it ex-
ceeds the warm by about ten days. The
warm season in Texas and the lower
Missouri Valley opens about ten days
earlier than in the region near the mid
die Atlantic coast and from twenty to
twenty-five days earlier than on the
southern coast Of California In the
Northwest the warm season opens from
twenty to twenty-five days earlier in the
Lake region and from fifteen to twenty
days earlier than in the north Pacing
coast region.-NelV York San.

LIVES UNDER A BUSH.
Census Takers in Ireland Discover an
Eccentric Irishman.

The census takers have made a re-
markablc discovery in Epping Forest
where an old man has been living under
a bush for nearly forty years and has
now for the first time been reckoned
among the population of England.
A census taller said he could find
somebody of whose existence England
had never heard. On the strength Of
this invitation people accompanied hin,
to the borders of the forest, where q
wreath of smoke issuing from holly
bush gave the first indication of this
modern Robin Hoods whereabouts
Under the bush was found wizened old
man, gnarled and grabbed as the bush
itself
A layer of leaves foot deep formed
the bed on which this wild man of the
woods reposed A few sticks placed
upright formed the shell of his habita-
ton and the leaves of the holly bush
served for the walls of his cave. The
inhabitant was a taciturn old Irishman
whom even the offer OF whiskey flask
failed to thaw out. While munching a
thick slice of bread he grunted out chap
tiers of his life history in reply to ques-
tons.
He had been ten years before the
mast in the royal navy, afterward for
fourteen years in the merchant marine
Then he sought out his relatives in the
vicinity of Epping Forest, who received
him kindly But, unwilling to trouble
them as boarder, he decided to find his
own quarters. The forest offered the
most suitable refuge and therefore he
had camped out under the bush for more
than thirty years.
He was born in Cork in 1928, and is
still virulent patriot. His name is
William Birk For food he relies on the
charity of the people of the neighboring
villages, where he usually goes for his
Sunday dinners. He has a small in
come, government pension, which pro-
vides the necessaries of life. For water
he relies on the pools of the forest,
which he declares are far superior to the
water supplied in towns.
He has a vivid recollection of the
events of forty years ago, but OF modern
happenings he knows nothing. Speaking
of France he talked of the Emperor Ma
poeon as still reigning.

Ethics of the Bad Man.

The bad man is not necessarily bad at
all, says E. c. Little, in Everybodys
Magasinc. He is often a very good fell
low Bad is merely synonym of dan
gerous. The "bad" man was formerly
the good man. He is simply the
frontiersman whose evolution has kept
pace with that of the firearm-product
of the border and the sixshooter. Keen
of eye, quick of hand and strong OF
will, he has that supremacy which al
ways comes to the man of cool and clear
headed personal valor everywhere, ex-
cept in society's latest and most refined
development The term was used rather
to express the feeling that he was, in
the vernacuar of the border, "a bad
man to monkey with" To govern and
control communities in which vicious
men were not infrequent, where all were
restless and the majority turbulent,
the ordinary forms and servants OF JUS
tice were inadequate. Law and order
required the assistance of officers who,
though enlisted to keep the peace, did
not hesitate to be law unto themselves.
If civilization was afraid to endorse their
actions, it was at least proud of the
results of the labors of the peace officer
of the border Hickok. Tom Smith,
Patrick Shurgrue, Michael Shrugrue,
William Tighlam, Hector Thomas and a
score of other men as marshals, sherffs
and deputies enforced the law, made life
safe and property secure, and brought
order out of chaos by their ready courage
and good sense AS Wild Bill Hickok
was the original 50 was he the first OF
the class

ed that he had subdued every big boy
in his school-subdued him by the
rod. Old man Isham did the same
thing and so did DR.. Patterson thrash
out the worst boys at our Manual La
Dor school, but now it is the boys who
rule the teachers and make demands,
and the consequence is Our colleges
have no discipline and hazing seems
to be as popular as ever. | thought
that this hazing business was q mod
ern invention, but in the second vol
ume of American Literature | find q
letter of John Lawson, q Scotchman,
who lived for years among North Caro-
lima Indians He is writing to his
folks at home in 1714 about the Gus
toms of those Indians, and says the
way they make warriors of their young
men is to husquenaw them in early
manhood. They are shut up in a dark
log house for six weeks, and kept half
starved and made to drink a concoc.
ton of pellitory bark, which renders
them raving mad. They make the
most dismal, hellish cries and howl
ings ever heard. When given little
meat it is mixed with a nasty loath-
some, filthy stuff. After six weeks
they come out as poor and miserable
as creatures ever become. Some OF
them die under this diabolical treat
ment, and some young men run away
to avoid it. The savages told me that
this hardens them to the fatigues Of
war and kills off the weak and infirm
and cowardly who would bring dis
grace upon the nation. Husquenaw-
ing! That's it; that's where hazing
started. and West Point is where it
matriculated and fiourished!
This characterization of college boys
seems to have crept into our own
southern institutions, and has we'll
nigh demoralized oxford and Tusca-
loosa. What does it mean? We had
nothing like it in our day. We feared
our fathers and we feared and respect
ed the faculty. The Tech boys caught
the infection not long ago; but that
don't matter very much, for if those
boys do anything else besides play
ball, the newspapers don't publish it.
Ball seems to be the only textbook in
the curriculum. Their accomplish
ments in that line may be satisfactory
to the boys and the professors, but the
patrons and friends of the institution
are surfeited, and would advise re-
cess! Ball play is another Indian
game in which the savages excelled.-
Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.
