WHAT THE TONGUE OF SCANDAL CAN
 ACCOMPLISH.
 It was small thistle down floating out upon the air. It fell upon rich soil. It sprouted and bore fruit and ten thousand thistle downs were scat tered to the four winds of Heaven. The fertile soil produced only weeds. It was the tiniest particle that was blown into the eye. It made the eye ball red and bloodshot and finally de- stroyed the sight. It was scratch, a very small scratch of pin, but the poison spread until the arm was taken off and then the heart ceased to beat. The tiny pin scratch had cost life. It was only word, very little word, colored and poisoned by islander, re- peated with embellishments, until a harmless and innocent transaction of life became criminal action. It was only a rumOr, repeated from lip to lip which grew with each repetition, un- til the falsehood became as truth, a reputation was ruined, a heart was broken and a life made miserable And the whole thing was lie painted to resemble the truth. There is noth- ing so despicable in all the many in- cidents of human life as that of tale bearing and being ready to believe evil of person, rather than good. We do not stop to think that this world is scene of variable experiences. That each one has his or her own particu- lar surroundings which are sacred and secret. That an angel from Heaven, ths ugh he be the brightest Utat burns before the throne of the Almighty, could not stand the tongue of the scandal monger or slanderers. It was only after Lucifer was driven from Heaven that there was a slanderer in the world. Every scandal monger or slanderer is nearly related to the ex- pelled Lucifer, who attempted to de- fame the Almighty Creator himself. The most sacred possession of man or woman is reputation, and yet it is such delicate thing that the breath of a hissing serpent may injure or de- stroy it. The secrets of our lives are our own and nobody has right to pry into them. Many a one who draws the skirts of his garments away from a slandered one receives a warm and celestial welcome. The repeater of tales is like the serpent in the grass, slimy, detestable and dangerous.-[*

AlI performers work 10 a cerIaln pisce

All performers work to certain piece
during the whole season. Certain kinds
Of acts require certain kind of music,
and famous stars, such as the Polos,
Heras Family, Nevaros, Molassos, aud
many Others, have particular pieces Of
music which they have worked with
always. To play any other piece OF
music for their act would confuse the
performer. This definite routine Of
music, day by day, enable the show
people to time their action without any
timepiece. It has been said, and is not
improbable, than the ring horses with
the Wallace show can tell by the music
Just when they are wanted, and an Incl
dent is cited Of the action Of the bicycle
riding elephant breaking loose from its
chains to enter the ring when the time
came, not waiting for its keeper, who
had been delayed.
The excellent performances OF the

EAT I'm RAW.

As has been the opinion of the
Editor al along the fear-inspiring
cabbage snake" is only an harm
less worm,a and may be eaten either
cooked or raw, and doubtless has
been, without any injury. Prof.
Leroy, ana eminent Nashville sci
enlist, who has made an investiga-
ton for the government, so declares.
II farther proof be needed, the fol-
lowing from the official report of
Gerald Mccarthy, biologist Of North
Caroline, is conclusive;
"Seyeraliof these 'serpents' have
been caught and sent to the North
Carolina Department for identified
tion. In every case these have
proved to he the common and
harmless water-worm, or hair
ke'-Gordius variabilis. Snakes
ard serpents belong to the back
boned series of animals. This
creature is a nematode worm be-
longing far down IN the scale OF
created being. 1t has soft, bone.
less body, with only rudimentary
organs. 1t is normally an internal
parasite Of grasshoppers and other
insects. Its presence in cabbage is
rare and accidental, due to the pre-
vious abundance of insects upon
the plants. The Gordins worms
are never found parasitic upon hu.
man or vertebrate animals. The
stores of deaths caused by these
worms are untrue and ridiculous
There is no venom in them. They
may be eaten raw or cooked with
out any danger to the eater"
So we may eat the delicious cab
bage, which the Lawrence County
gardens produce so abundantly
without fear, and any one having
more than they need may bring il
to us on subscription.
