Charles Hess has a curiosity which Is decidedly out of the ordinary. It Is the complete skeleton of a fish known in Dutch Guiana where. in the waters sur rounding the island. it is occasionally found, as the CrucifiXion fish. phe name was given the fish. so 1t is said. because of the head. which, after the scales, skin and flesh are removed. shows start ling features of incidents connected with the Crucifixion of Christ. The back of the head shows the presumed features of Pilate, with arms extended, the body being clad in splendid raiments. When held before light through the form mem tioned can be noticed a startling like ness of what people are led to believe is his Satanic Majesty. Turning the skele- ton one is presented a fac simile of a small Crucifx, with the Son of God i'm paled thereon. A spike protruding from the head represents the spear used by the soldiers in piercing the Lords body. There Is. on one side of the head, a box like protrusion, which when the head Is shaken, gives forth sound as if a marble inside, presumed to represent the dice box used by the Roman soldiers in casting lots for the raiment. As stated this species of fish is scarce and Is much prized by the Nations.

Benediction, Rev. A. F. Carr.

At 4:15 o'clock yesterday an alarm of fire was turned in from Box 13. located in the very heart of the business district
 at Royal and St. Francis Streets, for a fire in the store house of A. B. Dure & Co. The entire department responded and owing to the infammability of the contents of the building. being paints. oils. gasoline and wall paper, it was evi- dent that, in event the flames once gained headway great damage might result. It was a hard fight and after . time the fire was extinguished. At one time two forces of firemen were fighting flames ali around a tank containing fifty gallons of gasoline. Had the fire reached this an explosion would inevitably have followed. The loss is estimated by Chief Price at about $25o. The stock and building are protected by insurance.

rms being the case, it is next in order to explain why and how White House china is at times sold. In order to be sold official china must be- defective and be condemned by a special commission appointed for that purpose. That which constitutes a defect in official china would not however, be regarded as such even by those who are wealthy and in high station. For state dinners and banquets the table service must be faultless The slightest wearing away of the gliding around the edges, the most infinitesmal crack or clipped edge, scratch or wear ing in any part of the colored design: things which one would hardly notice, is sufficient to render the piece unservlcc- able for state occasions, When this hap pens the mistress of the White House calls the attention Of the steward to the matter and directs him to sell the china thus affected. The steward brings the matter before the custodian and com mittee of employees of the White House is appointed to examine the china ard condemn what they regard as unse"v.ce
 able As soon as this Is done the stew ard gets an order to sell. the matter is advertised and the auction held. The same procedure is observed in the sell | ing Of forniture. carpets and furnishing

PROFITABLE EXPERIMENT.

Moultrie Observer: Mr.. c. n. Will
liams. a farmer living near Quitman,
has an acre and half of cotton which
has attracted much attention. 1t is
Egyptian, the seed of which was Sc
cured from a friend in Florida and
planted as an experiment. with the
most satisfactory results. He states
that the yield is heavier than that of
short cotton and the staple is superior
TO that of the sea island cotton raised
in this section. Samples of it have
been on exhibition and he has been
besieged with calls for seed by all the
planters who have seen it, The staple
is about one and a half inches long,
very fine and has a silky luster. Mr..
Williams sent a sample to the Agri-
cultural Department of the United
States and was advised by them that
II was particularly well adapted TO
Southwest Georgia and Florida. He
finds it easy of cultivation and picks it
at cost of 40 cents per hundred. Mr..
Williams is so well pleased with the
result of the experiment that his en-
tire crop for next year will be of this
variety

Law Amended.

Warden Jewett wants the parole law
amended so as to give the warden and
board of managers of the penitentiary
voice in the matter of paroles. The
present law is good so far as it goes,
said the warden today. but it should
go further 1t should be amended so as
to invest the warden and the board of
directors with the power to declare
certain class of prisoners eligible to pa
role when they have served one-half of
their sentences; it should also provide
in my judgment, that 10 presentation
of the prisoners case by counsel or
friends should be made to be board
Although the eligibility of a prisoner
under this law, would depend upon his
having observed the rules OF the prison,
the prisoners release would not neces-
sarily follow the declaration of the
board that he was eligible for parole;
the same requirement as to his having
work with responsible parties. residents
of the state, should be provided for. as
now. The law should also provide that
the parole officer of the reformatOry
should be the parole officer of the peni-
tertiary, and it should be one of his
duties to endeavor to find work with re-
spoDsible parties for the paroled men of
this institution; however if any society
or responsible citizen find employment
for him, and guarantees it, the prisoner
could be released the same as if en-
ployment he'd been found for him by
the parole officer"
