The Natchez Bulletin says the
southern and western portions OF the
state are developing more rapidly
than any other sections, though all
sections are making great strides.
OF the two sections mentioned no
doubt south Mississippi is in the
lead. 1t has greater abundance OF
timber, more mills, more railroads.
and the people are using more ener-
gy than was ever known before
South Mississippi within the next
few years will BE the richest portion
or the state.

DRY. He did not attend school while
in his youth, but was Possessed Of in
telligence which was deep, and far
reaching. One of his peculiarities was
the exactness with which he could
tell the time of day. He never carried
q watch, could not tell the figures on
the dial of the town clock. yet if one
asked: ED. what time is it," the re-
ply would be as correct as the time
denoted on the most costly and cor

in his geographical computations,
and could bound every state in the

state and give the population there
of. He was strict grammarian. yet
he could not read, and a., an arith-

A COLLECTIVE NAME.
Herein IL q Sensible and Simple So
luton of a Problem Of
Long Standing.

Every @nce in awhile comes, a de-
mand from some one for a collective
name for the United States, but con-
gress pays no attention to such de-
mands, and the people seem very well
satisfied with the present designation
of our country, although it does some
times produce awkward expressions in
the way of erivatives," said the man
on the South side car, according to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. ITO avoid this,
the word America is generally substi-
tuted for United States, although the
name properly belongs to the whole
continent, and Canadians, Mexicans,
Cubans, ETC., have the same right to
be called Americans as we have.
such names as Columbia, Usonia,
ETC., have been selected as such col
lective names, but it would appear that
we have better name right in the
initials of United States. and which
are in such common use as to be IA
mihar to all.
"Why not call the country 'Us?' The
name is short, expressive, and has a
sort of Biblical sound quite pleasing
to the ear. It rhymes with fuss, buss,
cuss, muss and numerous other words
existing or coinab BILE, and could not be
mistaken for any other country. It
has an erotistic sound, and significance
rather pleasing to the average citizen,
and would, no doubt, be readily accept
able. The people would be either
Usites or Uses, or perhaps Usians, and
the collective name cranks would be
aileuced''

SECURING A LOWER BERTH.
TIE Trick sometimes Played by
Travellers to Get the Coveted
Sleeping Place,

Those who travel a good deal and
are compelled to make use of night
appreciate the value of lower berth
in sleeper. All kinds of tricks are
resorted to to secure one and the
agent must keep his eyes wide open
ii he would escape several kinds Of
trouble. One of Chicago's veteran
passenger men the other day told of
a practice that was common before
it was decided not to show the dia-
grams of the cars to passengers>
r, "A customer would come into the
Office" said he, land ask to be shown
the diagrams of the various sleepers.
In looking them over he would no.
tice that John Smith had lower re-
served until four o'clock in the after
noon, as he was not certain that he
would be able to take the train that
day. After getting the name well
fixed in his mind the tricky Gus
toner would purchase ticket and
60 back to his office. About two
o'clock he would send messenger
boy to the agency with a notice that
John Smith had decided to take the
berth he had conditionally reserved,
whereupon it would be turned over
to the messenger. When John
Smith called at four o'clock the dia-
gram showed that his lower berth
was gone. It would not be proper
to quote all that John Smith would
say at such times. To save ourselves
from these embarrassments and to
protect our customers, we recently
decided to treat our diagrams al
confidential"

|: AR1zoNA BOY sHER1FF.
Fourteen-Year-old La zwAe Has
Z )" 1aSAs several Wonderful -
@.,t Arreata

There il q true, old-fashioned dime
novei boy living out in Arizona. He
makes the most wonderful arrests, and
is known all around that locality as
the youngest officer of the peace in the
United States. He lives at Congress,
and is Richard Boscha, the 14-year~old
SON of Deputy Sheriff Boscha, who
has been deputy sheriff of Yavapal
county, Ariz., for 20 years, and is .
very fearless and worthy officer, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Richard is q small boy for his age,
but he inherits the fearlessness of his
father. He has deep black hair and
eyes and his face is most intelligent.
Not long ago he came to Phoenix,
bringing with him the 16-year-o:d son
of county officer who had fallen 50
deeply in love with the "Coontown 400''
that he had run away with the organ
ization. When the young peace off,
Ger was asked whether the young
man was glad to go back home, he
smiled and said:
mo; he did not want to come, but
there was no way out of it for him."
Young Mr.. Boscha's abilities as an
officer of the peace first came into no.
tice about year ago by the arrest of
q Mexican for whom the officers had
been looking for a long time. He and
another Mexican had fought duel
because of their mutual love of a pref
ty Mexican girl, and the duel was in
tended to be deadly. One of the duel
lists was wounded and the other LETT
the country. Officers hunted every
where for him, but he could not be
found.
Some months afterward Richard
Boscha, then only 10 years of age,
found the duelist and at the point OF
gun took him into camp.

rs TOMATO 'clHoWDER NOW;
The Disappearanos Of = Good: Old
& Dish IN which Clasas 01ce
= ,-. $500. Higured.

That good old American dish which
used to deserve it's name of clam chow
der seems to have degenerated these
days into thick, sour ia sting tomato
soup, says the New York Sun. There
is scarcely a place in town where one
can get clam chowder now as it was
made when the dish earned the great
measure Of popularity upon which
its disreputable successor is still trad
ing. "
Instead of clans tomatoes have be-
come the chief Ingredient, and the re-
suit is an indigestible mess that re-
calls only in name the savory chowder
of better days, and nine times out of
ten the deluded diner who partakes
Of it will be afflicted with heartburn
for hours afterward.
At the seashore where clans are
abundant one would naturally expect
to get a chowder made after the old
orthodox fashion, but in the neigh
borhood of New York at least there
remains only disappointment for any
one who banks on this hope. Even
there the enterprising and inexpensive
tomato has won the fight, and it is
that product and not the clam that
dominates the chowder.
Another instance of the aggressive
ness of the tomato il to be found in
most restaurants that serve spaghetti.
This, too, instead of being an appe-
thing mixture of macaroni and meat
gravy, topped with Parmesan, has
come to be nothing more than a
sauce of tomato poured over the
spaghetti. So that it is little won.
der that these two dishes-clam chow
der and spaghetti-which formerly
were so highly esteemed by those who
knew good eating, have fallen in favor
=, here, and it seems probable that the
time il at hand when they will be
found on the lists of only the poorest
: grade of eating places.

Lake Erie is now three and one-half
feet below the city base of level, the

measurements of altitude. What is

of the lake in 1888. It cannot be said
that the level of the lake is steadily
