Certain fish have been termed sport

great precision. The Jacular fish Of
Java is OF this sporting tribe.
Several of these fish In the posses lon
of n Jayanese chief were placed in g
small circular pond, from the center Of
which rose a pole upward OF two feet
in height. Beetles were put on top Of
the pole on sharp pointed pieces o.
wood. The fish then came out OF tnel
holes and swan around the pond One
of them came to the surface OF the wa

eyes steadily on a beetle it discharged
d small quantity Of water from us
mouth with such force and precision as

water. In an instant the beetle had
been swallowed.
After this another fish came up and
performed a similar feat, and SO the
sport continued until they had caugnt
all OF the beetles. If a fish failed to
bring down it's prey the first shot u

The Weather and the Crops.

U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, climate and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau, Missouri
section, for the month of January,
1903.
january, 1903, averaged slightly
warmer than usual throughout the
greater part of the state, ex-
ceptionally mild weather prevailing
from the sth to the 29th. From
the 9th to the I3th, however, the
weather was quite cold, tenn
peratures of zero and lower
occurring in most sections. The
precipitation of the month exceeded
inches over portions of the central
and eastern sections, but over a
large portion of the state it was
deficient, many of the northwestern
counties receiving less than half an
inch. Considerable snow fell
during the month but, except in
portions of the northern sections,
it remeined on the ground but short
time..
In most sections of the state the
weather was unfavorable for winter
wheat; the ground was bare the
greater part of the month, and in
the central and southern sections
there was considerable alternate
thawing and freezing. Reports
regarding the present condition of
the crop are very conflicting but
indicate that it has been damaged
to some extent in majority of the
central and southern counties and
in some localities in the northern
sections. In, a few of the north
eastern counties the crop was fairly
well protected by snow and in
most counties of that section, and
also in a majority of the north
western counties, it is in good con-
dition, but in portions of the central
and southern sections the crop is
reported damaged one-tenth OIL
more, although in many localities
| in those sections it is upiniured,
The greater part of the damage has
been caused by alternate thawine
and freezing, A. E. Hackett,
Section Director.

Has Slept Twelve Days.

Joplin, Mo-, January 31.-The
case of Mrs. Mehala Cross, of Co
lumbus, Kan, who has been
asleep for the past twelve days, is a
puzzle to the physicians. All efforts
to awaken her have proven futile.
Every means known to medical
science has been tried, but the
woman still sleeps. She has been
given nourishment several times
during her prolonged sleep, but even
then she does not awaken. Mrs.
Cross fell asleep at II O'Clock on
the morning of January 20 while
sitting in an armchair. Physicians
of this city will investigate the
case.

BAPTISTS SPLIT.
Another Chapter in the c entr' II
Church Trouble.

The colored Baptists' trou bles in
Central church, which have be en-
the subject of two ex parte counc lis
of Baptist ministers and a sland er
suit in the criminal court Of corr, &C.
tion, gained another chapter Last
night in the efforts of conference
composed of over 200 persons and
officers of number of the churches,
presided over by Rev. Fred MIC
Kinney of Antioch church, to assist
in raising funds for the financial
relief of the First Baptist church,
Fourteenth and Clark avenue.
Before the meeting had pro-
ceeded very far the subject was
tabled and the real purpose of the
meeting, that of forming union of
the churches separated by the
Central church quarrel, was taken
up. This precipitated long and
bitter debate. Many of those
present claimed they had been hood
winked by the call, and after ex-
pressing their opinions of those
who were responsible for the
deception in terms more emphatic
than elegant, withdrew from the
meeting.
1, The result of this separation, it
) is said, means the dismemberment
of the state Baptist association, as
we'll as the Berean association.
The latter is local organization,
embracing the churches of the city
and county of St. Louis. 1t also
means the withdrawal of much sup
port, it is said, from the colored
Baptist college at Macon, Missouri.
The two factions are represented
in this city by two distinct minis.
terial alliances of Baptists, one OF
4 which meets at Central and the
other at Chambers Street church. -

ODD REASONS FOR DIVORCE.
Garters in Husbands Pockets,
Cold Feet, Step-Children AS
signed by Some--Wife
Says Husband Ordered
Coffin For Her.

New York, Jan. 3I.-Five-
hundred suits for divorce were
brought in New York county
during the past year. A review at
random to discover the chief cause
of marital unhappiness shows
weird and astonishing array of
accusations and counter accusations.
Drunkenness and brutality on the
part of the husband are underlying
causes of most of the divorces
granted to women. Extravaganza,
i'll temper and neglect of home on
the part of the wife being most of
the husbands, to the employment of
private detectives and final appeal
to the court.
Religious differences seldom
figure, save when husband and wife
disagree unalterably concerning
the education of a child.
Accusations against drunken
wives are growing more common
than they were few years ago.
The wife who finds a garter in
the pocket of husbands bobs up
occasionally. Step-children, cold
feet and tendency on the part of
the husband to keep all the money
he makes are complained of
frequently. One woman accused
her husband of making her go to a
masquerade ball while she was
suffering with measles. Another
woman accused her husband of
coming to bed from cold bath
without drying himself.
One man swore that the spouse
of his bosom had dyed her hair
IAN improper red."
"A wife complained that her
husband had insisted on ordering
coffin for her. Another COM
planned that her husband made her
live in a flat, while another could
not live with the man whose name
she had taken because he spoke
only one language"
