Talmsres' Rice Report.

Trading during the week has
baen at full ratio of the season.
The demand covers the wide
range of domestic offerings, as
/ ,cality and preference decide.
In the lower grades, much food
can be had for little money, while
the fancy sorts satisfy the most
exacting as to quality. Receipts
are not over abundant, but sutfi.
cient is afford ample opportunity
for selection. Some buyers
hitherto indifferent on account of
the great expectations as to vol
ume of crop, are "beginning to
take notice." as reports of less
yield are confirmed andeprices
instead of declining have been
fully maintained, with decided
advances on many styles.
Advices from the South note
considerable movement on the
Atlantic Coast-full prices being
secured from those who prefer
the actual Carolina growth. At
New Orleans the market con.
tinues strong with good enquiry,
although demand past two weeks
has not been up to former aver.
age. In the Southwest but little
change is noted in previous re-
ports, Holders seem to have
the courage of their convictions
and prices are wellS Sustained.
Cables and correspondence
from abroad note hardening con.
ditions under present available
supply, and somewhat anxious
looking forward to the outcome

A Locality in Texas to be Closed
AGAINST LIQUOR.

AGAINST Liquor.
A prohibition clause covering
a body of 10000 acres of land is
a new departure in Texas devel-
opment methods. The Texas
Rice Development company
which is settling and colonizing
10000 acres Of land in Matagorda
county has unanimously passed
a resolution that all property
sold whether acreage or town
property, must have the clause
prohibiting the sale of any intox.
icants.
Palacios City is the name of
the new town on Trespalacios
Bay where tits contemplated that
a branch line of the South.
ern Pacific railway will be ex-
tended, and where this company
owns eight miles of bay front
with bluff bank at a height of
nearly twenty feet. They expect
to put up a summer hotel with
shelled driveways the entire
distance of the bay front.
Theorganizers of this company
are prohibitionists and believe
that there are people througout
the country who would prefer to
locate their families along the
coast where no liquors of any
kind can be had. This resolu-
ton was offered by Mr.. Cary of
Jennings, La, who has always
been against the sale of intoxi-
cants and is a jealous and con.
scientious worker on that line.
Mr.. w. G. Moore of Houston and
Mr.. @. G. Duson of Crowley, La,
are disectors and officers in this

MARITIME EXPRESSIONS.
Used I'm q Metaphorical Sense, The
Are Quite Common


Are Quite Common.
Maritime expressions, used meta
phorically, are, in fact, very common.
We say couple are "spliced," young
man is the "mainstay" of his family,
an intruder puts his oar in" the mem
Der from Wayback 'steers through" !"
d man is "hard up," sometimes taken
faback" or has ''the wind taken out of
his Sails" topper is Slowed" 1oafer
"spins a yarn" sometimes stries the
other tack" and ruler steers the
Eship Of state through troublesome
times.
This last metaphor is extremely an
cient, by the way. Horace refers to
Rome as ship at sea, and Plutarch
says the Delphic oracle referred to
Athens in the same way. A Tamil
saying embodies like metaphor, 'The
soul is the ship, reason is the helm,
the oars are the souls thoughts, and
| truth is the port.' An old collection
of English proverbs contains this one:
"The tongue is the rudder Of our ship"
a Malay maxim says, 1.-THE boat which
/ Is swamped at sea may be bailed out,
but the shipwreck Of the affections is
final.'
Aristophanes, Plautus and others use
an expression which comes down to
us as an English saw, 'To row one
way and look another" An old Eng
lish proverb (161A was, 'It is not good
to have an oar in every ones boat

ssLiftinr thu Kinx.,,

One Of the picturesque English coro-
nation ceremonies which have been
discontinued is that of lifting the king.
In the old days the monarch always
slept at the palace Of Westminster on
the night before the coronation. The
regalia, which are still, technically
speaking, in the dean and chapter Of
Westminster, were brought by them to
Westminster hall IN preparation for
the ceremony. These were arranged
on long table, the crown, the scepter,
the spurs, and so on. The king when
be descended from the palace to West
minister hall was lifted by his mobiles
on to marble chair.
The lifting of the king into this chair
was survival of the old Saxon custom
OF carrying the king on his shield. The
custom survived up to the time of the
coronation of George w. When the
monarch was seated in the chair, he
at once directed by pointing his finger
which of his mobiles should carry the
various parts of the regalia to the alb
hey and the procession begans On

Vegetable Caterpillar.

Among the many strange growths,
apparently freaks Of nature, which are
to be found in New Zealand the vege-
table caterpillar really ranks among
the foremost This caterpillar is sew
eral inches in length. is hairless and
does not differ essentially in appear
ance from some of the caterpiilars of
our own land.
Its claim to distinction lies in the fact
that when it gets ready to die it digs a
hole for itself in the earth and COM
pletely buries itself. Later a slender
green shoot springs from the spot. This
bears two or more leaves near it's top.
Upon investigation it is found that
the green shoot springs from the head
of the dead caterpillar, and further in
vestigation develops the fact that the
body of the caterpillar is filled with
roots.
The form is retained without change,
and the roots do not pierce through the
skin or enter the ground. When dug
up, this dead yet living freak presents
most odd appearance. for the head
and even the eyes of the caterpillar are
distinctly seen, yet from the head is
growing the green sprout. with it's
leaves.

Hard to Tell Chinaman's Age

How old is Chinaman? Can you
give good guess? 1t is harder to ten
than the age of negro. The Chinaman
has no beard. and his hair is of a jet
and glossy blackness, which turns gray
only at an extreme age. when a Cauca-
sian head would be either snow white
or bald. Then again the Chinese have
the most perfect nervous system of
any people in the world and do not
wrinkle up with age. They can stand
any amount of opium smoking without
material injury that would send a
white man to his grave or an insane
asylum. So you have little to go by. A
Chinaman will look thirty when he is
twenty and when he is fifty. If you
ask him his age. he will place it at
least ten years ahead, for he holds old
age to be honorable, and among his
people he will be respected and looked
up to by all his juniors Washington
