Dover Del, Jan. S.--Rev. Frances
Handy, pastor Of MI. Pleasant Union
caurch, Viola, was brought below
Magistrate Wood TO day on Il criminal
charge of SANDER and libel, the acc,ls-
ation being the result of a sensational
state OF affairs existing in tho neigh
borl1ood Of Viola and Canterbury. Tie
pastors arrest was caused by mem
ber Of his congregation, Mrs. Annie
T.. Townsend, who swore that he had
circulated stories in the ncighborhood
in which they live to the effect that
she had attempted to poison him.
The stories alleged to have been
circulated by Parson Handy were that

pie and, upon examination, the Rev.
Mr.. Handy declared, 1t is alleged, that
the pie contained poison even desig-
Mating the poison as Paris green. The
pie was not eaten, but was placed un-

At the beginning of the libel case
Today, Attorney Frank Davis, for

and have had more than one dispute
as to who was the most proficient in
the use of dice visited no less than
six saloons in search of them this
morning but were unable to lind
them.
Several of the saloon men stated
that they did not>allow them in their
place and it finally developed that
they had not kept them since Chief
OF Police Dolan had issued an cdict
against their use.
In one of the saloons visited the
dice were used not more than two
weeks ago but since the investigation
of the police has been on the box has

Poppies. 1000 Years Old.

The extraordinary resuscitating
power of light received very curious
illustration few years ago in the si.
yer mines at Laurium. The mines
had been abandoned more than 1000
years ago as unworkable, and con
sisted for the most part of "slag"
produced by the working of the
miners. An enterprising Briton dis
covered that the mines contained
plenty of silver which could easily be
removed by the superior modern ap-
pliances. He discovered, however,
something more valuable than the sill
ver-viZ., some poppies of species
which had disappeared for twenty cen
turies, the seed of which had lain dor
mant beneath the Stag for 1900 years
When the Stag was removed to the fur
mace the next visit to the mine found
the entire space covered with most
gorgeous show of poppies. After their
twenty centuries rest they had
bloomed as vigorously as ever, with.
out the aid Of a single drop of water
or any restorative other than the rays
of the sun.

Statue of Rameses II.

Among the many colossi with which
Rameses II adorned the different
temples throughout Egypt there is no
more characteristic representation of
this mighty ruler of the desert, ac-
cording to our own ideals formed
from oar historic knowledge of him,
than the mighty colossus of Memphis.
which now belongs to the British ma
ton.
Raised from it's Nile bed, where It
has lain face downward for centuries.
reposing calmly beneath the waters
of the sacred river save at the dry
season, when it became visible until
the inundation again buried it, it now
rests high and dry above all dangers
of high water, on heavy pedestals OF
stonework.
Originally this figure stood on one
side of the great doors of the magnih-
cent temple of Pthah, the ancient god
of universal life or artisan Of the
world, which temple Rameses II fur
ther enriched with the colossi. There
is but little evidence remaining of this
temple, save great mounds Of decay
ing and crumbling granite and con
glOmerate.

When All signs Failed.

Two small hands with norcha ance
Are pulling apart daisy white.
Leaving my fate to the merest chance
Counting my heart with eyes that dance
While protest with sullen might.
When man has loved with provei

Shall his love be judged by the buil'
of flower?
Whenever a rose Is in your hair
My heart grows ever so soft. Suzette.
I'd count hose petals with loving care.
Each previous leaf you used to wear
And yet a flower makes you forget.
To you l give of my life the best
You try my worth with flowers test
Since daisy says. "He loves you not
My heart must go unheard.
If you trust to the weeds of a vacant lo
There is little use of the fight I've
fought
Still less of pleading word.
To see you counting SO debonair
Is proof enough that you do not care.
I hear her sigh with mock regret.
AS from her hands the petals fall.
Am I counted out, oh. fair Suzette?
Does the tally tell l love you yet?
Or does this end it all?
Says gay Suzette. with eyes that shine

of catalogue and advertising, as well
as meeting general expenses incident

be done with plants having the whey

Parrot Race Exterminated.

Ornithologists will regret to learn
that Guilding's amazon parrot, a rare
bird inhabiting the mountains of st.
Vincent, has in all probability become
phenomena in the island.
The species was said formerly to
occur only on the Souffriere, hence 1t
became known as the Souffriere bird.
The great eruption OF IT'S drove
many specimens to seek shelter in the
other highlands of ST. Vincent, but
their numbers were considerably re-
duced by the fearful hurricane Of 1898,
and there is no reason to fear, SO am
told by an ornithological friend, that
the few survivors have all perished in
the eruption of May last.-Scotsman.

One Blow Killed Two Rattlers.

Henry Stork of Grand Bay, Ala,
had a remarkable experience last Sun
day afternoon. While walking through
the woods with his two little daugh-
ters they sudde enly came upon two i'm
mense diamond-back rattlesnakes,
that were, apparently, at play. Mr..
Stork declares the snakes were raised
fully threefouTths of their length
from the ground, and were knocking
their heads together in a playful man
ner. So absorbed were the reptiles
in each other that they paid no at
tention to the approach Of Mr.. Stork,
who cut club about eight feet long
from a small pine sapling, and at the
stroke so stunned both snakes that
they were easily dispatched without
further trouble The snakes were
brought to Grand Bay and measured.
The larger was 5 feet 9 inches long
and the other 5 feet Z inches. Both
measured IA inches in circumference

Source of Scions.

One of the leading horticulturists
Of Michigan declares that it is mis-
take to take scions from nursery
trees. The scions from such source
have not the ability to bear fruit that
have scions taken from mature and
bearing trees, so he says. He claims
that this is the cause Of the non
fruitfulness Of very many orchards.
He also claims that It is the cause OF
variations in fruit of the same va
riety. This is a point OF considerable
Importance. The contention, II true,
has In it much of weight in horti-
cultural matters. We do not, how
ever, believe that many horticultur-
lists at this time agree with this opin-
ion 1t is generally believed that
whether q scion come from an imma-
ture tree or a mature tree does not
matter. 1t would be interesting to
know what proof is adducible In be-
half of the contention. If the cause
par excellence" of unfruitfulness OF
| orchards can be determined to be the
| source of scions it will be an easy
| matter to remedy. 1t is fact that
some trees of the same variety are
more fruitful than other trees. What
| is the cause of this? In the case OF
a fruitful or unfruitful tree does the
scion taken from that tree carry the
same habit of fruitfulness into its
new existence? These are questions
! that we would like to have deter
mined if possible by our readers.

a Versatile Tree.

There are by careful computation
about 100000 900 cocoanut palms in
the world in full bearing, and certain
ly no tree that grows yields so many
different products or is put to so many
separate uses. It's wood is used for
buildings and for boats, as well as for
ornamental furniture. The leaves are
the sole thatch of tens of thousands
of buildings and afford useful food for
cattle. The natives also make good
brooms with the ribs of the leaves,
while the ashes contain so much pot
ash as to be useful in soap-maiiing.
From the trunk of the cocoanut
palm oil barrels, tubs and water pipes
are easily produced. and the roots
give red dye. The fibers make
ropes, mats and even paper. The ker'
mel of the nut is the main food of sew
eral millions Of human beings, whose
most nourishipg drink is the milk
Cooked and evaporated, the kernel be

give heaped teaspoonfnl of copperas
to the SOW in her swill and feed
little lighter, says Texas Stock Jour-
nal. After the first day, If 1t Is not
cured, give . second dose the follow
ing morning. l have never seen this
fail where given when pigs began to
scour, but let the scours run on from
three days to a week and they Will
likely be beyond control. AS the pigs
get older, provide a place where they
can get all the shelled corn or ear
corn they want, clean out all they
leave every morning and give to old
er hogs. Give piggy fresh corn.
Sprinkle the floor where little pigs
eat with air-slacked lime occasional
ly. As the pigs get little older ana
want sw1ll, mix the swill of clean
shorts, little oil meal, with sweet
milk and water, and add teaspoon
full of lime water for each pig. which
should be increased to tablespoon
full as the pigs get older. Feed this
when they get their corn. Be sure
their troughs are kept clean. II they
are accessible to the old SOW they
will not leave enough to sour. Con-
tinue lime water until the pigs are
five or six months old. Feed nothing
sour. II milk should be the least bit
sour, or tainted even, throw it away
If you have no fattening hogs to feed
It to. The pigs will easily get along
without milk for one feed, while the
dose of sour milk might set the pig
back for month or two. AS to the
lime water, it is easily made by put
ting a piece of unslacked lime in an
earthen jar or wooden pail. Put In
chunk about the size of a quart cup
in two-gallon jar; fill it with water.
When lime is all Stacked and water
gets clear, dip off water and throw
first away, refill, and when this is
clear, dip off the scum, when lime
water will be ready. Don't use any
tin or iron vessel for lime water
You can keep filling and using out of
this a month before you need to add
any lime Don't rile 1t or stir, only
use the clear water
