of appeal to thu United States Su-

clork OF the Mississippi Supreme
Court, hut it is believed that this
course will be tai en- within the next
few days. and tho case will go to the
tribunal of the last resort for final
decision.

branches of the back tax litigation are
involved in the ease, the records for
the Iesl ective branches will BIO made
up separately and the Issue Joined af-
ter the case reaches Washington. The
former back tax case appealed to the
United States Supreme Court was
favored with advancement on the
docket and made q preference case,
thus securing an early hearing, and M
effort will he made to havo the same
,courso followed in this case.

announced as @ candidate for Cover

there has been a decided lack OF in

ProfesaionaI Envy.

An Italian philosopher has amused
himself by constructing a scale of de-
grees for the measurement Of profess
sional envy. The highest point in this
envy measurer is ten.
Architects ore happily placed lowest
Oh the scale. They register only l;
advocates aad priests and military
men are ranged at 2, and in the as
cending scale he gives us professors
of science and literature, 4; journal
lists, 5; authors, s; physicians, 8; &C
tors and actresses, 10. The small
amount Of envy among architects is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigid studies. The same thing ap
plies to advocates.
Among the clergy envy is found
mostly in preachers. In the military
career envy is quiescent in time OF
peace, but can become acute in time
Of war. Envy makes men Of science
and literature lead solitary lives, diff
dent Of each other. Among physicians
envy is still more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, Otter
terming them charlatans. In the the
atrical world envy reaches its acute
form, vanity playing a great part ir
its production.

The Mississsppi 400, 900 Years Ago.

Did you ever figure on what was the
probable condition Of the great Mis-
sissippi river 10000. 100000 or even
100000 years ago? Scientists suggest
that the erosion of its bed was ac-
complished by a mighty cataract.
which began far down the river, prob
ably at the place where it then emp
tied into the gulf, and by gradual re-
PROGRESSION dug out the val!eylike
gorge through which it now flows.
That this theory is tenable may be in
ferred from the high, wall-like b4ufs,
features so characteristic Of the upper
part Of its course.
4 wearing away of q monster cata-
ract would Of course necessarily leave
high walls or bluffs on either side.
These are the we'll known features of
the father Of meandering streams. 1t
would seem. according to this theory,
that st. Anthony's falls constitute the
remnant of what was once the most
stupendous cataract in the world. Ge-
ologists estimate that it has taken the
river 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch through which it now
lows.

Broke the ISEle.

A Boston man recently RECALLED q
party of friends with a story about Il
certain nameless club in Boston which
has strict regulations against gam
bling.
A quartet of club members decided
to break that rule by Il game OF poker
for small stakes. SO they adjourned
to one of the small rooms Of the club
and called the old colored servant TO
bring IL pack of cards. When be
brought them. one of the members
queried:
John, suppose it would be some,
thing utterly new in this club if &c
should do such a thing as play FOR
money with these cards?"
The negro scratched his head and
delibrratcd, finally answering:
Boss. I'ze been wild dis club long
time and Tze seen many things"
Yes. but what have you Secn|
"I'ze seen ebry rule oh dis club Vi
lated 'ceptin' one"
What rule is that one:'
"De rule 'gainst gibbin' tips to de
SERVANTS"
And straightway that rule was re-
lieved Of its lonesomeneSs among its
fellows. New York Times.

Bones For Bread.

There is an interesting child'S story
called Jack the Giant Killer" in
which one of the giants is supposed to
use the expression 'fe-faw-tum, OF

giants wife. the rest of the grOWl be,
ing, Il smell the blood Of an English,
man, but be he alive or be he dead I'll
take his bones TO make my bread.
Possibly it has not occurred to many
to ask where the idea Of making bread
out OF bones originated. as we do not
often seriously investigate fairy tales.
1t is q historical fact that during the
siege of Paris by Henry ", owing to
famine, bread, which had been sold
while any remained for more than 81
a pound. was made from the bones in
the charnel house of the Holy limo,
