The distinction between town and
country, between natural and artificial
life. is of course, as we all know, a
very arbitrary one. The highly compli-
Gated and seemingly artificial life
which we now lead is an absolutely
natural condition of existence, as natu-
raj as the life of a colony Of beavers in
one of their dams on a Canadian river
or of a nation of ants at work in the
garden. Evolution directs the forces
of nature in the building of the beav-
ers' houses, in the construction Of
birds nests and in the building Of the
kings palaces. There is no natural
difference between Il leaf carried by
murmuring stream over transparent
depths full of sunshine, under darl
tunnels of overhanging foliage, and
human waif whirling in a human
stream over muddy pavements. As
the great ocean itself is but single
drop in the immensity of creation, so
London, overgrown as 1t IS, is but an
ants nest in the surrounding country.

uniform temperature the year round.

Supt. Cottingham Resigns.

j. ID. Cottingham County Superin-
tendent of schools has sent his resig-
nation to the governor with request
that he be relieved from office by the
3d of November.
1t has been stated that public
officials sometimes die, but never re-
sigds." If this is the rule the action
of Superintendent Cettingham is the
exception which proves it.
! Mr.. Cottingham has made faith
ful and efficient public official. All
his work has been conscientiously
performed with the view to the I'M
provement of the schools. His re-
tirement' II months before the eXpi-
ration of his term will cause general
surprise.
1t is a move that he has long been
contemplating. The work of travel
ing about the county from school to
school is not to his liking. The SUI
perintcndent is teacher by prSfes-
sion aid not au Overseer. He has
longed to get back to the work of the
school room and the quietness of his
own home. Hence his action
On the second Monday in Novem-
ber he expects to reopen his normal
training school at Etoniah. Here
he will give eighth grade instruction
and prepare advanced pupils to be-
come teachers Mr.. COttinghasl had
a prosperous school which he gave
up to enter upon the duties of the
superintendency. He will get this
school again.
Who will be his successor is not
known. The county executive COM
mittee will get together and recon-
mend candidate for appointment
for the uneXpired term to the COVER
nor, who will make the appointment.
The governor doesn't always follow
the wishes of the executive commit
tees. But in this county, when there
was a vacancy to fill, he acted solely
on the advice of the committee, and
there is no reason to fear he will act
differently now.
Prof. Ralph has been suggested as
a proper man for the place if he
could be induced to accept ii, He
has had experience and is thoroughly
capable. Henry Hutchinson, who
was defeated for the office by Prof.
Cottingham, has also been suggested.
Maybe there are others.

LuniOIatry In China.

In China the practice of lunlolatry
exists at the present day and is of very
early origin. The chief festival, that
Of Yueping, or moon cakes, is held dur
ing the eighth month of the Chinese
year. Persons make cakes Of various
sizes In the shape of the moon and
paint different figures upon them.
Friends and relatives pay visits to one
another, give entertainments and pre-
sent their cakes after making protes-
tations and pouring out oblations to
the moon.
1t is very remarkable that verse of
one of the Jewish prophets should be
explained by this Chinese custom.
"The children gather wood" said the
seer, "and the fathers kindle the fire,
and the women knead their dough to
make cakes to the queen of heaven"

Grain In Wood,

Three kinds Of structures are evident
In the twig of year or twO's growth
An irregular mass of pith is In the
center, which in time grows less and
ultimately disappears. outside this are
sheath and a layer of hard cellular
tissue, which from the very first pre-
sents a radiating structure. the begin
ming Of the medullary rays, called by
carpenters the silver grain. Outside
this again is layer of cambium, the
growth for new wood.
A clearly traced dark line intersects
all these radii at right angles and
marks off the growth of each year,
large or small, according to the sea-
son. This is the ring whereby in cross
section the age of the tree, when felled.
is reckoned. Different kinds of timber
show the grain in differing degrees. In
oak the grain is very conspicuous; in
the beech, plane and maple it is very
marked, but of smaller size; in others
it is scarcely seen by the eye, but al
ways under the microscope. In all
tropical woods, such as mahogany, this
structure is very obscure.

HOW HUSBANDS SHOP.
A Blouse That 1t Was Certain Would
Not Please the Lady.

Not P1ease the Lady.
The pleasures of shopping are as rig
orously denied to 'mere man" as are
the advantages Of whlstling to fair wo-

Is universal, and the attempts made to
cOntravene it are few and unsuccess

real, was made few days ago by an
uXOrious Berlin husband intent on pre-.

SHOPS IN JAPAN.
The Floors Are the Counters and
Squatting Places of Buyers.

The Floors Are the Counters and
sGuatting Places of Buyers.
To start Japanese shop is the sim
plest thing in the world. You take the
front off your house and arrange your
worldly possessions on the floor.
japanese floors are raised off the
street. though nothing is raised off
them. The transient customer sits on
the edge of the floor sidesaddle. A
real shopper who means to. do the
thing properly climbs up on the floor,
which is also the counter, and squats
on his heels.
Real japanese shops have no doors
or windows or counters. Shop windows
in England do not leave much wall in
the frontage, but even an English shop
window does not take the whole front
of the house.
The japanese have not many regular
shops. There are very few streets of
shops even in Tokyo, which is as large
as Berlin. Foreigners never buy any
thing but curios. If they are fools,
they deal with shops kept by Euro
peans; if they want bargains, they deal
with Cinnamon.
There are many Chinese shops In
treaty ports. The Chinaman is cheaper
and more reliable than the japanese.
European shopkeepers do not set up In
Japan for philanthropic reasons. Jap
anese shopkeepers are the lowest class
of population except the outcasts.
Servants and laborers take precedence
of them in society, and precedence is
the hobby Of the Japanese.
You have a different bow and a diff
ferent salHtation for man who is be-
low you or your equal, and several for
the people above you. You have even
different language for each, and Jap
anese writing wriggles like carving on
their temples London Standard.

Cant. John .. Howard Dead.

Capt. John l.. Howard of Jackson

last Monday. He had gone there for
his hellth.
Capt. Howard was formerly resi-
dent of Putnam county, moving from
Georgia to Crescent City in 1879
where he was manager of the Shelf

Later he went into the steamboat
business and became freight agent
for the steamer Starlight. While in
this position he formed a general ac
quaintance with the farmers and
fruit growers all over this section,
and the friends then made haYe been
his friends through life.
Capt. r. ]. Adams of this city who
knew him perhaps as intimately as
any other man says: "There never
was more popular man, and deserv-
edly so, than John l.. Howard, and
his death causes universal regret"
After embarking in the steamboat
business his promotion was steady.
He became Florida freight agent for
the New York, Charleston aud Flori-

that company was succeeded by the

FavOrs the Mayors Plan.
Editor PALATKA NEWS:


read in your valuable paper the
suggestions and recommendations
from the mayor to the city council,
in regard to the paving of Lemen
street with rock, and heartily con-
cur in all lie said. | know that a
first-class paving can be made if
properly put down, and for less mon
ey than any other kind of paving. A
heavy roller is necessary. After the
sub-grade is rolled to hard even sur
fLce, then place hard rock not less
than six inches,in depth, fill in with
small hard rock and roll to an even
surface, then add soft rock not less
than four inches in depth and roll to
Il hard, smooth surface. Keep damp
while rolling. You will have a paw
ing that will last ten years, with no
expense except one or two inches of
SOFT rock every two years, well rolled.
| hope the city council will give this
matter due consideration.
