SIX FoL11Es OF SCIENCE.
Some Things Attempted Which are
 Impossible of Accomplishment.

London Standard.
 The six follies of science are: CD. The sQuaring of the circle; @ perpetual mo- ton; (3) the philosophers stone; tU, the elixir of life; (5) magic and (0 astrology.
 In all ages men of undoubted ability have toiled early and late to unravel the mysteries supposed to be connected with the fascinating problems. It is not al- ways remembered that such intellectual giants as Bacon. Sir Robert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought the philosoph- CTS stone which, strange to say, receives some countenance from the modern the ory of allotropy. In the study of astrol- ogy Lilly was for a time even pensioned by Parliament.
 Most of these 'follies' conferred indi- rect benefits upon science, for in seek ing one thing their devotees discovered many another The craze for the secret or unknown has still its hold upon men and is seen In palmistry and kindred cults.

 Doctored Foreign Wines. Reverting to the subject of wines, Dr. Wiley said that one of the leading wine experts of Europe. who mhe consulted
 while in London, remarked that there
 are no chateau or vineyard wines shipp- ed to the United States. The American people uTInk nOLulnB put IdD6lS. UT Wiley thought this declaration too sweep ing. He believes that there are some genuine chateau and vineyard wines i'm ported into the United States, but he be- lieves that; they are usually special i'm portations, often made for individuals, and that the general buyer seldom gets such wines. The label looks all right, and the retail dealer may honestly be- lieve that the wine is genuine. but in
 most cases 1t is not.
 Under the new food exclusion law the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized on certification from the Secretary of Agriculture, to exclude from the United States food products or beverages that are adulterated so as to be injurious to health. that are falsely labeled, or the sale of which Is prohibited or restricted in the countries of their origin. The greatest difficulty in the enforcement of this law lies in its application to falsely labeled wines and liquors. Chemical an- alysis is utterly powerless to detect the subtitle difference that exists between a high grade claret of the most celebrated vintage and a common win ordinaire, yet the difference exists and is what makes the one wine many times more valuable in the market than the other. It is equally impossible to detect blended whisky by ordinary chemical analysis, and Dr. Wiley is of the opinion that most of the Scotch whiskies imported into the United States are blended.

 My Dear Madam--I enclose a corrected copy of my words to- Dixie.' True, they were written in my girlhood when I was at school in Greenville, Ala, and l do not ask consideration of them on account of age or date. As girl and as a woman could never bear the thought of singing doggerel or slang to that dear old tune It seems to me almost sacrilege under the sacred surroundings. Besides, I protest against a song of the South going forth to the. world in negro dialect. We, girls of Greenville, sang my words to every company that left the station, and it has been sung at every reunion in Butler County since the Con- federate war. May ask the committee to examine 1t? I refer you to the Con federate Veteran for opinion of it.

Dixie.

In Dixie cotton loves to grow. With leaf of green and boil of snow, Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie Land! Here waves the golden wheat and corn In Dixie Land, where was born, Look away! Look a-wayl Look away, Dixie Land!
 CHORUS. Then wish I was in Dixie. Hooray! Hooray! In Dixie Land I'll take my stand, To live and die in Dixie,
 Away! Away!
 Away down South in Dixie. In Dixie reddest roses bloom, The Jasmine yields its rare perfume, Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie Land! And here the sea-breeze haunts the South. With orange blossoms in its mouth, Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie Land!
 CHORUS. With generous hand we love to give. Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie Land! What matter if the wind does roar, Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie Land!
 CHORUS. The Dixie skies are bonnie blue. And Southern hearts are warm and true. Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie Land! Let there be love throughout the world, The pure white flag of Peace unfurled, Look away! Look away! Look away Dixie Land!
 CHORUS. In other lands 'tis sweet to roam, But Dixie Land Is Home, Sweet Home, Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie Land! And Southern maid with merry song, Loves dear old Dixie, right Or wrong, Look away! Look away! Look away Dixie Land!
 CHORUS.

which will be placed in the next sixty days, and she is encouraged to believe from the letter she has received from Alabama that all the graves will soon have headstones, and she feels sure that from efforts that are now being put forth in that State that the remaining graves will soon have headstones, and that a suitable monument will be erected to the memory of Alabama's gallant dead who fought and now sleep in the historic She nandoah Valley.
 All the Southern States have erected monuments in Stonewall Cemetery except Alabama.
 Dear Daughters in the Confectionery Having begun the work of putting head stones over our dead heroes, of our State, in the cemetery at Winchester, Va, early in the summer, and having at that time sent out letters to all Chapters in our State. asking their cooperation, promis- ing that if the Chapters would give $5 each that we would finish the work (which would be about $7s from us). We take this time to thank publicly those Chapters that have been so kind to join us in this work. While the numbers we have heard from at all has been small, nevertheless we are very grateful to them for helping us in this work that we so much desired to have known as the work of the United Daughters of the State We have fallen far short of our desire. but we are not discouraged, only ask those Chapters who have not com piled, to re-read those letters we sent as well as the numbers of articles seen in the different papers regarding our lot ct Winchester, and ask themselves if the cause isn't worth the effort of s. | Our offer is still open as we hope that the other Chapters will help us when they begin work again in October. The following is list of those who have donated and the amount sent: Opelika Chapter .. ..............$2.00 Tuscumbia Chapter .. .......... 500 Prattville Chapter .. .......... 800 Athens Chapter ........... b.00 Tuscaloosa Chapter .............. 500 A letter from Mobile promised s in No vember; and we saw in a report from one of the Montgomery Chapters where they htd pledged themselves to give us s, but as yet no direct communication has come to us from them.
 We have forwarded to Winchester that the work may begin about $90 With sincere thanks to our President of the U. D. C., Mrs Wood, as we'll as to The Advertiser for allowing us this space for expressing our appreciation publicly to those Chapters whom we have named.

The Park Region Encampment
of the G. A. r. opened today
with an attendance as large. as
could be expected on the first
day. 1t was not thought likely
that many veterans would arrive
until today, but the local post
was happily surprised yesterday
when several visiting posts got
off the incoming trains and
sought out their quarters. There
was quite a bunch of the old
soldiers with their wives and
families in town at nightfall.
Some of them remained at the
hotels over night and others i'm
mediately took up their quarters
in the tents assigned them in the
city park. By tonight nearly
every one of the dozens of tents
now standing in silent rows on
the camping grounds will be oc-
.cupied and the merry talk and
laughter of the old comrades,
once again united, will be heard
far into the night.
Every incoming train today
brought it's quota of old soldiers
with their families and friends.
More will arrive tonight and to-
morrow, until the total number
of visitors in Bemidji will reach
four or five thousand. Prepara-
tions for their reception are com
plete and the town is in gala at
tire. One bunting covered arch
spans Beltrami avenue at the
corner of Third and another
stretches across Minnesota ave.
nue. in front Of the city hall. The
stores will have pretty &C. A. Il.
windows and most OF the bust

rated with flags and bunting.
The various dancing pavilions
and speakers stands about the
city are completed and they are
also trimmed with gay strips OF
bunting.

busting happily about making
arrangements for the night,
while the local veterans hover
anxiously over the whole, speak

here and lending a helping hand

and lunches stroll through the
park, gazing in wondering sur

also slated to entertain the whites
