A Geological Survey.

- ~0O'o01SOs o0SVSys
The agitation for geological sur
vey of the State is once more attract
ing attention, and measures for this
purpose will probably be intro
duced at the next Legislative session.
Among many people it is not be-
lieved that Mississippi possesses
mineral resources rendering it worth
while to make this expenditure, but
there is general demand for the
government bureau of geology to
continue its soil survey in the State,
which will result in practical good
to the farmers by showing them the
products to which the various soils
are best suited for cultivation.
Builder. Organize.
The builders and contractors of
Mississippi are to have a State Or
ganization for the purpose of look
ing after mutual interests in all
building matters.
Preliminary steps toward perfect
ing organization were taken in jack
son last week. The organization is
to be known as the Mississippi
Builders Exchange, and another
meeting will be held in Jackson on
July 4 for the purpose of making a
permanent organization. Notice has
been sent out to all the contractors
and builders of the State urging
them to enroll as members.
Lists Are Large.
The various counties continue to
boast of the largeness Of their lists
of candidates, and never before
have such formidable arrays of as
pirants for county offices appeared
in the political tilt-yard to measure
lances. Leake county is still in the
lead with nincty-six candidates, and
Calhoon is a close second with eigh-
ty-seven aspirants to her credit. In
many counties the lists are so large
that the election returns will not be
ascertained for two or three days
after the primary.
First Oil Company.
The charter of the first oil COM
pany ever organized in Mississippi
will be presented to the governor for
approval within a few days. It will
be known as the Mississippi Crude
Oil Company, domiciled at Enter:
prise, Clarke county, with capital
stock of $4,000. Well drilling ex-
periments are now in progress and
the promoters are confident they
will strike oil.
The Road Law.
= In answer to a query from the
board Of supervisors Of Oktibbeha
county, Acknowledgement Williams
has rendered an opinion that the
collection of l mill tax for road
purposes without authority of sec
ton II, chapter 119, acts Of 1900,
is illegal, and that the board must
adopt the contract road law before il
can exercise any of the functions
Hereunder.

The worst feature about the post
Office scandal is that so many con-
gressmen must have been aware Of
some Of the misdoings and participated
in the plumber to the extent Of getting
their friends appointed 70 office or the
salaries Of those already there consid-
Eerahly raised.
The Grenada sentinel., 1903-07-04

Another republican scandal has
come to light unexpectedly, by the dis
covery that the fund of the District Of
Columbia for special assessments has
been looted of $4,000. The officers in
charge of the District do not seem to
have even taken the precaution to
count the cash from time to time, for
the footing has been going on for five
years under republican management.

A Prize for Housewives.

Particulars of a novel prize for the
encouragement of housewives at Paris
are announced. 1t is stipulated that
claimants must be Parisians by birth,
have been married six years, and
that their husbands, who must be in
the service Of the city or employed in
government Office, do not receive a
higher salary than 500 year. The
prize of $3.50 in cash is intended to
reward the personal merit of spouses,
and goes to the one who by her own
labor best supplements the earnings
Of her husband. Curiously enough, the
wives of police officials are excluded.
The fund to secure the annual reward
has been bequeathed by NJ. Christine
Couronne, a former chief clerk in the
office of the minister Of agriculture,
and the only obligation subsequently
resting on the winner is to place q
wreath on the grave Of the donor.

Genuine Baked Beans,

Wash quart of small white beans
and put them into kettle of cold wa
ter; the water should cover the beans.
Put in a heaping teaspoonful Of salt
to keep the beans from "mushing."
Bring the water somewhat slowly to
a boil, but do not boil them over five
minutes. Then pour the water off and
put the beans into an earthen or iron
pot. Put in half or three-quarters Of
pound of fresh fat pork-no lean;
salt fat pork, if there is no suspicion
of faint, is just as good. If fresh
fat pork is used salt must be added
to the taste. Fill the pot with water
to the top of the beans and pork, and
add, if fancied, a Tablespoonful each
of soda and mustard, and teaspoon
full of molasses. Bake slowly from six
to twelve hours brick oven is pre-
ferred.

indians Have Hard Teeth.

81 don't ca-'a for TaG.a=s IS patients"
said dentist the other day. "No; it
isn't that they are Objectionable per-
sonalIy; it is just because there is no
money to be made out Of them at regu-
lar rates. The hardness of an Indians
tooth is something to marvel at, and
if had many of them to treat should
be forced to have instruments OF un-
usual strength made to order. The
ordinary kind won't stand the pressure.
I filed one cavity in red mans tooth
the other day. and before, / got through
I had turned the edges of no less than
twenty drills. There isn't much money

Lack of Skill Criminal.

"A strange verdict has been given by
the criminal court at Lucerne. A To-
cal medical man named Dr. Rehfeld
was CONDEMNED to three months penal
servitude and 81 600 damages for caus-
ing the death of Nine. B Of Kriens,
near Lucerne, by his want Of skill and
negligence. The relations of the de-
ceased, who died shortly after the
operation, brought the action by legal
advice. DR.. Rehfeld was also prohibit
ed by court to practice in the canton
of Lucerne. The prisoner was a fully
qualified doctor.

The Latest Superstition.

In reporting a marriage at Empor-
ia, the Gazette" tells Of curious SUI
perstition held by the bride. She felt
that if it should rain or be cloudy on
her wedding day her marriage would
end unhappily. So she refused to set
the day, saying she would notify her
Alliance when she regarded the ele-
ments as propitious, and thus it came
about that the young man was hastily
summoned by telephone from place
ten miles away last week when the
sun was shining gloriously.-Kansas

Sentiment Versus Fact.

That the advance preparation OF
speeches will not always conform to
circumstances WAS made evident dur,
ing flag raising At public school
The young orator had been speaking
for several minutes when he advanced
to the front of the platform. raised MS
hand with dramatic gesture to the
flag on the staff above him and shouted
See yon flag throwing its protecting
folds to the breeze of freedom!"
1t was pretty sentiment. but the
"breeZe" didn't bear out the picture

DEAF AND BLIND.
Y.. This Girl Has Made a Fine Book

Vet This Girl Has Made Fine Book.
State Printer Bernard Murphy has
placed on exhibit at Superintendent
Barrett's Office volume showing the
educational progress that is being
made by Linnie Haguewood, the deaf
blind ward of Iowa, now at the South
Dakota school for the blind at Gary.
1t consists of book embodying the
STORY of lie Fever" by Laurence
Sterne. The work was stereotyped,
printed and bound by Miss Hague
wood, and is a production showing the
greatest skill and intelligence. The
printing is on the Braille system,
which is based on the position of six
dots, which are made on brass plates
by the six keys of machine specially
constructed for this work. After the
plates have been made they are proof
read. The plates are read with the
fingers, and any dots that have been
misplaced are hammered down. In a
letter to Mr.. Murphy, Miss Hague
woods teacher says Linnie has no
difficulty whatever in correcting any
mistakes. that may occur. After the
brass plates are proof-read, the print
ing is done on moistened sheets OF
plain white paper. These sheets are
placed over brass plates and then be-
tween rubber sheets, and the whole
run through a common roller press.
After being dried the sheets are
bound in book form. The entire work
is done by Miss Haguewood with
great skill and accuracy.-Des Moines

Neoro Children Born White.

In contribution to the Revue Ency-
clopedique, a German physician who
had spent several years at Klein-Popo,
in the African Togoland, says that the
stages of color through which negro
babies pass in the equatorial regions
are as follows: At birth they are the
same color as European infants. At
ter two or three months the skin turns
a lilac color. Ten days later it is a
light chestnut shade; and it is only at
the end of three or four months that
the skin becomes completely black.

RcnnnninE pn,Tcr In AnimaIn.


Animal intelligence. though not nPc.
esSarily higher in degree when they are
acting as our servants and not for their
own ends, is then very much more eaSi-
" approached and understood by us.
The point" Is curious example Of
an action in which instinct and reason
meet. The stopping Of the dog, hoWev-
er it began, has by training and heredi-
ty become instructive. The dog, even
when quite a puppy, stops when 1t
smells the game and remains almost
paralyzed, its impulse to rush in and
seize it being checked by a strong in
stinct to stand still. Yet the dog, after
he had accompanied his master and
had game shot over him, Is quite
aware that he is half controlled "me-
dunn" and while still under the domi-
mating pointing" instinct will look
round imploringly to his master to urge
him to hurry up If the scent tells him
that the birds are moving. A border
line action Of a different kind IS the
squatting OF young birds. 1t is per,
fectly reasonable precaution. Keeping
still and lying low are not characteris'
tics peculiar only to Br'er Rabbit, but
1t Is most remarkable to see the way
In which tiny peewits or little teal,
hardly bigger than fluffy bee, lie
down. put their little chins fat on the
ground and remain motionless for min
utes to avoid being seen.
