His Hobby.

A tourist passing through an English
village churchyard was much aston
ished to see craven on tombstone a
list of feminine names as follows:
Mary l., Elizabeth, Mary H., Anne.
Katharine l., Katharine IL.
Goodness gracious!' exclaimed he
to an old sexton who was digging a
grave not far off. 81 wasn't aware
there were any queens buried in this
part Of the country, least Of all in such
an outlying place as this
"No, more there amt as knows or"
replied the old fellow, scarcely looking
up from his work.

the still surprised tourist. chow comes

Ants on Horseback,

a French inventor has discovered q
new species of ant in Siam, or at least
a new trait he has never before seen
recorded. The creatures were small,
of a gray color and Lived in damp
places. They travelled often and in
troops which seemed to be under the
direction Of a commander, who rode
on horseback" M. Meissen the
Frenchman who noticed this peculiari-
ty, was attracted to these groups by
discovering that each company con-
tanned a large ant that Travelled more
rapidly than the others. Observing
them more closely, he noted that each
large ant always carried small gray
ant on it's Lack, though the remainder
of the troop were on foot. This
mounted ant would ride out from the
line, travel swiftly along the column
from head to rear and apparently over
look their maneuverS. Nj. Nielsen
concluded from what he saw that this
species of ant, while on it's travels, is
under the direction of a commander,
though such ''ant-horses" as the gener-
al rides must be rare and valua BILE
for he scarcely ever found more than
one mounted and in marching col

Two little Stories Of Ccrot.

We have any number of anecdotes
about Corot. There is one which ex-
plains the artistic mind. He had re-
ported to his employer how success
fully he had sold a quantity of beauti-
full Lyons silks, and he expected some
acknowledgment. On the contrary, the
draper explained to him that there was
no merit in disposing of excellent goods.
as the real merit was to sell what was
bad, whereupon Corot perceived that
this was exactly what an artist cannot
do, and he decided to quit commerce.
He obtained his fathers consent for
his career as a painter on what was to
him large annuity of $500.
He was over thirty years old when
he first began to paint, on the very
day that his father freed him. He
used to show that first picture of his
to his friends, saying: ut is as young
as ever It marks the hour and the
time of day when l did it. but Mile.

FACTS PLAINLY STATED.

The following, from the Tupelc
Review, we endorse and commend
particularly to our Bay st. Louis
readers:
every town owes it to itself to
avoid decay. This can only be
effected by those who own pro-
perty within the corporate limits
seeing to it that that property IS
kept in repair, and when new
building is erected that it should
be so constructed as not to look
like a temporary device calculated
to answer for year ortwo. Any
place where the out buildings are
permitted to tumble down or lean
over from the rotting away of
sustaining pats, and are left
standing in that dilapidated con-
dition, is a disgrace to the COM
munlty and shows conclusivcly
that the owner is not imbued with
the Importance Of caring for the
endurance of the town or COM
munity. That home which is per-
mitted to decay for the want of
paint or where the fences are all
tumbled down and uncared for
soon becomes an eyesore to all
passers by, and no one can have
much respect for the owner. If
a piece of property is worth HAYS
ing 1t is worth taking care Of, and
such negIects Of ones possessions
are either direct indication that
the community is in decay or that
the individual owing the propee-
ty is behind the rest Of his neigh
bors and ought to feel tingle Of
shame every time he appears on
the streets. Too much attention
cannot be given to the akceping
mp OF all buildings and any other
Improvement in every community,
and where this is the rule, private
parties are usually inspired to
keep up with the example. II
there is anything in chaos about
your premises, drag it out into
the street and touch match To it
or fix it up. Then you will have
license to demand of your muni-
cipality that it enforces sanitary
regulations and keeps up its pro-
perties.

The Pearl and Leaf River rail-
road company will shortly make
application to the Railroad Com
mission for permission to change
its corporate name to the "Mis-
sissippi Central Railroad compa-
n.y." The present name is found
to be entirely too local for the ra-
pidly extending little road and a
name more in conformity with its
new dignity is desired. The road
now runs from Hattiesburg, in
Perry county, northward to
Blountsyille, in Lawrence county,
and its ultimate purpose is to push
on to Monticello and thence to
Natchez. The road will imme-
diately form a junction with the
Mendenhall and Columbia branch
of the Gulf and Ship Island K. r.
Silver Creek will then become the
western terminus of thesroad and
will remain so for the present.
