British Mania for salIccns.


A perfect mania for balloonng and
aerial flying seems to have swept over
the British islands. At every point on
the coast is found some intrepid
aeronaut preparing TO fly across the
channel in some new-fangled airship.
Clgar-shaped, funnel-shaped, huge
winged and iong-tailed are the various
appliances that are to settle forever
the vexed and widely discussed ques-
tion of aeronauts. The sexes are
equally divided in this quest for the So
luton OF the problem. None OF them
has yet succeeded. Inland, too. there
are endless balloonists who go up in
the clouds at all hours OF the day. Par
achutists without number fill the sky
and everywhere one hears talk OF this,
that and the other balloon picked of a
tree, wrecked on housetop or fallen
into the sea-

An English traveller who has
visited every nation in the world,
is authority for the statement
that one food is universal through
out all countries. "There is not
a part of the world" he says,
"where you cannot get an egg"
While in Western China, however,
he at first had some difficulty in
getting even eggs. The natives
could not understand him and re-
fnsed to recognize the pictures he
drew as pictures of eggs. "The
way | got out Of the difficulty"
he adds, twas that l squatted
down on my launches, tapped
my winges and cock-a-doodle-
doo'd until the entire nation grasp
ed what l wanted, and I was simp-

There is a hoodoo in every
newspaper Office. 1t hides be-
hind the cobwebs and gets in its
dastardly work. The story of how
the newspaper hoodoo was born
is told with hushed breath in every
newspaper establishment. Those
who know say that when Herr
Gutenberg started the first news
paper, in Germany, a maiden lady
of advanced years persuaded
some irresponsible youth to marry
her. She left word at the news
paper Office that the thing be
properly written up: The papeei
told the facts, including a state.
ment about the brides age, looks.
and disposition, and she, being
mad with rage, sold her self to the
devil and was transformed into al
evil spirit. To this day her spirit
prowls around newspaper offices

crous things in a paper. They
are the devils work.-Ex.

LEwELLEN-Gee Lewelleu, son
of DR.. F. E. aud S. E. Lewellen,
was born Feb. II, 1887, died Sept.
2, 1902
Gee was a noble youth Of Is
summers. He was wholly boy
an intelligent and energetic boy,
yet he had that sweet simplicity
and lovable disposition that con-
stltutes a little gentleman. He was
a devoted son and a noble little
working Christian. His life though
short was full.
He was the understood leader
among his school mates and play
mates.
Gee was loved by all who knew
him and his memory is dear to all
aud we feel that our community
has sustained a great loss in his
death. 1t is an irreparable loss to
his parents, but they weep not as
those who have no hope, for there
is now one more link that binds
them to that beautiful home in the
great beyond.
Dear parents, you can never hear
Gees beloved voice here but he is
with his mamma aud little sister
up yonder waiting aud cali lg You
there. He cannot come to you but

Physicians say that it is probab-

nervousness is the result of too

THE OLEOMARGARINE LAW.
Manufacturers Expect to Avoid the

A Washington special to the New York

manufacturers expect to circumvent the
projectors of the oleomargarine low passed
by Congress last winter. Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue Yerkes having held that
the Decent tax does not apply to oleo hay
ing a shade OF yellow, which shade 1t ac-
quired by the use of some natural veg
etabe product or by the use Of yellow
butter, containing no artificial coloring
matter, the manufacturers are preparing
this as the basis for their attack. The
Armour company has notified Commission
er lerkes that 1t had devised the plan Of
packages, each package containing a lit
tie pellet of coloring matter, with instruc-
lions for using the same The coloring is
to be done by the purchaser and consumer.
who has the right to do 50 under the law.
The Armour company informed the COM
missioner that it did not wish to take this
step without his knowledge and that it
stood ready to defend its course in the
courts II necessary.
Another communication on the subject
was received from a manufacturer who
submitted a sample of what is known as
palm OIL pure vegetable oil. He says
that it is more nutritious and cheaper
than cottonseed oil, ordinarily used in the
manufacturer of cleo and he wants to know
whether he has right to use it, instead
OF cottonseed OIL Palm oil has rich yell
low color and will impart a beautiful yell
low to oleomargarine and the manufac-
turer would be subject to a tax Of only
one-fourth Of a cent per pound.
