The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1903-11-12

Most interesting in the present sit
ting of Congress, will be the attitude of
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, the i'm
placable opponent of the proposed
Panama canal route, first and ever
chief advocate of the Nicaraguan,
whose intention it is again to thresh
out the subject. His threat to discuss
the canal situation ''during" the ses-
sion is belieVe to be one made in the
full knowledge of the meaning of the
word. He will offer a resolution call
ing on the President for q full report
on the subject. In the light of more
recent development-the uprising in
Panama and the establishment of u
new Republicans speeches will be
followed by a larger circle of interest
ed auditors and readers than aver be-
fore. Although it may seem easy to
effect an agreement with the new Re-
public of Panama, it is ~contended by
many that it can be done only after
further congressional legislation. The
Spooner bill provided specifically for
the purchase of rights from Colombia.
Under that law, the canal could not, it
is commended, be secured from the new
government of Panama. Democrats
and Republicans alike, OF this time,
hesitate saying anything abont the de.
velopment at Panama. They declare
chat they want more information before
forming an opinion.

Savage Legends.

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is a CO.
ccanut shell of enormous dimensions,
at the top of which is a single aperture
communicating with the upper air,
where human beings dwell At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is
q stem gradually tapering to a point
which represents the beginning of all
things. This point is a spirit or demon
without human form, whose name is
Root of All Existence BY him the en-
tire fabric of creation is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoanut shell.
at its very bottom. lives a female de-
mon, So narrow is the space into
which she is crowded that size is oblig-
ed to sit forever with knee and chin
touching Her name is The Very Be
ginning. and from her are sprung nu-
merous spirits. They inhabit five diff
ferent floors, into which the great CO
coanut is divided From certain of
these spirits mankind is DESCENDED.
The islanders. regarding themselves as
the only real men and women, were
formerly accustomed to regard stran-
gers as evil spirits in the guise of hui
manity. whom they killed when they
could, Offering them as sacrifices.

AN lMPROMPTU WHlRL.
1t Scared the Chef Worse Than II

Did His Assistant.
Pat was assistant cook on one of the
dining cars ON the Great Western road
running into ST Paul. He was oh
stinate and i'll tempered. The chef was
equally so, and as a result constant
warfare waged between them. One hor
day Pat was making ice cream and in
spite of the chefs warnings insisted
upon sitting in The doorway of the
pantry while he turned the freezer.
The train going mp grade. made a sud
den lurch, and Pat and his can of ice
cream fell out the door, as his superior
officer had predicted Frantic with
fright, the chef in his white cap ana
apron tore through the train looking
for the conductor.

The conductor pulled the bell and

they saw him coming over the ties on

CHEMISTRY OF TEARS.
Weeping Improves the Sight Instead
Of Weakening 1t

Weeping Improves the Sight Instead
of weakening 1t.
Tears have their functional duty to
accomplish, like every other fluid of
the body, and the lachrymal gland is
not placed behind the eye simply to
fill space or to give expression to emo
ri3n, says an exchange.
The chemical properties of tears con-
sist of phosphate of lime and soda,
making them very salty, but never Bit
ter. Their action on the eye is very
beneficial. and here consists their pre-
scribed duty of the body, washing thor
oughly that sensitive organ, which al
lows no foreign fluid to do the same
work. Nothing cleanscs the eye like a
good salty shower bath. and medical
art has followed natures law in this
respect, advocating the invigorating
solution for any distressed condition
of the optics.
Tears do not weaken the sight, but
improve it. They act as tonic on the
and limpid. and it will be noticed that
women in whose eyes sympathetic tears
gather quickly have brighter. tenderer
orbs than others. When the pupils are
hard and cold. the world attributes it
to ones disposition. which is a mere
figure of speech implying the lack Of
balmy tears that are to the cornea what
salve is to the skin or nourishment to
the blood

A Bit of Correspondence.

The following correspondence, ending
in true Irish fashion. actually passed
between two men in England some
years ago:
MIR Thompson presents his compli-
ments to Mr.. Simpson and begs to re-
quest that he VIII keep his Dogs from
trespassing on his grounds.
"Mr Simpson presents his compli-
ments to Mr.. Thompson and begs to
suggest that in future he should not
spell dogs with two gees"
"Air Thompson's respects to Mr..
Simpson and will feel obliged if he will
add the letter 'e' to the last word in the
note just received, so as to represent
Mr. Simpson and lady"
'Mr. Simpson returns Mr.. Thomp-
sons note unopened, the impertinence
it contains being only equaled by its
vulgarity."

When William r. Travers was in the
directorate of the New York Central
railroad, Jay Gould was running the
Erie in opposition, and his manage
ment of that system betrayed a con
slant and intimate knowledge Of what
was going on in the Central's star
chamber. Commodore Vanderbilt was
naturally exasperated, and one day.
after expressing how helpless he found
himself to outwit his rival, he turned
to Travers with the query:
"Well. Billy, how can we stop Gould
from getting knowledge Of what we
are doing?"
"W-w-why." suggested the genial
wit-"w-w-why DIDN'T you m-m-make

The CROWN of senweed.

Seaweeds vary surprisingly in their
habits of life. Some species grow al
together beneath the water. attaching
themselves below the lowest tide level,
other frequent heights where they are
left dry at every retreating tide. while
others yet are found in situations
whe.e they are scarcely ever covered
by water. Whereas most of them at
tach themselves to rocks or solid bot
tom, keeping to the shadows. there are
exceptions to the rule among which
the most remarkable Is the sargasso
or gulf weed. which floats on the
surface of the ocean. Immense fields
of it are seen by the navigator, extend
ing as far as the eye can reach. 1t IS
sometimes so abundant as seriously to
interfere with the progress Of ships.
and il was this which so alarmed the
crew of Columbus on his first voyage
of discovery.

one Divided hx a Half.

If you ask the man in the street the
simple question, What is one divided
by half? he will either reply that tAe
operation is an impossible one or that
the answer is a half When you point
out that one divided by two is half,
he will see that there is something
wrong somewhere, but will still be
quite unable to give the right answer.
When you tell him that the answer is
two, he will either accept the assertion
without understanding it or will dis
pute it tooth and nail. If you attempt
TO convince him of his error, you will
find it is not at all an easy task.
His mistake arises through the con
founding Of two distinct ideas-namely,
one divided into two and one divided
by two. One divided into two is one
divided into two parts. each part con
tanning half. One divided by two is
the ratio of one to two or the number
Of times two Is contained in one. To
any one who has thought the matter
out this seems clear enough, but to the
man in the street it is sheer nonsense,
and he will tell you so.-Kansas City

not, honestly, act as judge. And if he

did, he was very wise in declining, for
