RUSH HILL ITEMS.

Correspondence OF the Ledger,
RUSH HILL, Mo-, Sept. Is, 1902
Many land spectators are getting a
free look at our beautiful country at
the expense Of the agents.
At first the buyers wanted land close
to the railroad, but now they are
spreading out. Farms are selling ten
miles north of here at a good price.
On a recent trip down in the east
ern part Of this, the banner county of
the State, we found some of the best
citizens in the country, all prosperous
farmers. The Jewellers and the
Birds. j.. T. Williams, one Of the
incest gentlemen We have met in a
long time, MI. Williams is q model
farmer, and he has as intelligent a
family as one will meet in many
months. Good, steady, industrious
boys; several bright intelligent girls
and a wife who is a model h~ouse-keep-
err. Truly a contented, prosperous
and happy family.
Land buyers are just coming into
this part Of Audrain. Two farms
were sold last week about four miles
south Of Vandalia. Farmers are hold
ing their farms at $40, $45 and $50 per

To See About Grading.

At a special meeting of the City
Council held Monday night a commit
tee composedof Messrs. KEENAN,, Pratt
and Abbay, was appointed to act with
City Surveyor r. S. Mckinney and
Street Commissioner David Owen to
ascertain the cost Of grading the
streets around the Square and south
from the Square one block each
on Washington and jefferson streets.
1t seems to be the intention of the
city to pay for the grading of the
streets preparatory to paving. Anoth-
er special meeting Of the Council will
be held Thursday night.
One of the members Of the commit
tee stated to the LEDGER this after
noon that the macadam now on the
streets, which it is proposed to pave,
will pay for the making of the grade,
thereby relieving the owners of abut-
ting property from the expense OF
grading. He estimated the cost OF
paving at Sl.15 or Sl.20 per square
ward.

LARGEST wooDEN SHIP.


10 Was Constructed by Hero. King Of
syracuse.
The largest wooden ship eve built
was that constructed by Hero. king
Of Syracuse. under the direction Of
Archimedes. We are informed that
Ptolemy Philopater had a ship $50 Gu
bits long, 3S broad and 4S high. It
carried 1000 rowers, 400 sailors and
5000 soldiers. That which the same
prince made to sail on the Nile was s12
feet long. As feet broad, with a mast
120 feet high. But that was nothing
compared with Hiero's ship. 1t had
all the variety of apartments peculiar
to a palace, b~anqueting rooms, CALLER
les, gardens. fish ponds. stables, mills,
baths, etc. II was encompassed with
an iron rampant and eight towers, with
walls and bulwarks, furnished with
machines of war, particularly one.
which threw a stone of 200 pounds on
a dart twelve cubits long, the distance
Of half a mile. Though the hold was
extremely deep, one man suficed to
keep 1t clear Of water, by means of a
machine now called the Archimedian
screw. An Athenian poet made an
epigram on this superb vessel, for
which he was well paid. Hero sent
him 5000 bushels OF corn as a reward.
Hero. finding there was no port Of
Sicily capable of harboring this vessel
in safety, resolved to make a present
Of 1t to King Ptolemy. and sent II to

Some Reasons why the CsylOn Prodass
IL Preferable.

Is Preferable.
The troubles in China and the blood
thirsty massacres that have occurrs4
have done much to bring the tea Ques-
ton prominently before the American
people. Every one who knows the ma
tive Chinaman as he really is, knows
that he is a sharp and inscriptions
trader. and 1t has been q matter of
common report for years that the teas
shipped from China to this country
were either Of the most inferior variety
or teas that had been "doctored' after
having been used once. In this connse-
ton the following from n Of the best
known English papers: The heather
Chinee. who is nothing II not economic
cal. has an ingeniously simple method
of eating his cake-or, rather, In the
Celestial transla ion, drinking his tea
He drinks the delicate first infusion
and then dries the leaves again. packs
them in those mysteriously lettefed
boxes we know. and exports them to
the western barbarian. who. he has
found out, likes his tea strong and
stewed. II is true that the fannie acid
apt to come out OF the leaf in the Sec
ond infusion may iniure the American
stomach, but John cares for o Of
those thinEs-he knows the beauty and
profit of the adulteration." The reas
son why the outlet for the pure and
unadnlterated machine made tea OF
Ceylon and india in this country has
been somewhat limited heretofore 70
that only a small percentage Of our
people use black tea. Having gathered
In a very large proportion Of these
black-tea drinkers. the growers Of CsT-
Ion and India saw the necessity Of c.
tering to the trade Of green-tea drink
ers. and they are nov producing on .
large scale uneolored green tea Of deli-
cate favor to supplant the adulterated
green teas OF China Now that q pure
green tea is at the disposal OF lovers Of
tea, not only the fact that the csyloa
and India green is a better tea. but the
natural r~epugnanee Of nj people 70
Chinese methods should bring about

In the burial register Of Whitechapel
under the year 1919 is the following
entry:
June 21st. Richard Brandon, a man
out Of Rosemary lane. This Brandon
Is held to be the man who beheaded
Charles the First"
A less distinguished candidate for
the infamy was one William Hewlett,
actually condemned to death after the
restoration for a part he never played
and only saved from the gallows by
the urgent efforts of q few citizens
who swore that Brandon did the deed.
Brandon was not available for retribu-
ttlon. He had died In his bed six
months after Charles was beheaded
and had been hurried ignominiously
into his grave In Whitechapel church
yard. As public executioner Of London
he could hardly escape his destiny, but
It is said that remorse and horror
shortened his days. In his supposed
Confession" a tract widely circulated
at the time, he claims that he was
fetched out of bed by a troop Of
horse" and carried against his will to
the scaffold; also that he was paid ESQ,
ell In half crowns, for the work and
had ian orange stuck full of cloves
and a handkerchief out Of the kings
pocket" The orange he sold for 10
shilllngs in Rosemary lane.-Harper's
