How Eel. spawn.

Eels spawn like other fishes. For
long, however, the most remarkable
theories were held as to their birth.
One Of the old beliefs was that they
sprang from mud. A rival theory held
that young cells developed from frag-
ments separated from their parents
bodies by the rubbing against rocks.
One old author not only declared that
they came from May dew, but gave the
following recipe for producing them:
"Cut up two turfs covered with May
dew and lay them one upon the other,
the grassy sides inward, and then ex-
pose them to the heat Of the sun. In a
few hours there will spring from them
an infinite quantity Of eels."

Bonds. Judge Church Gives Good
Advice to the Boys.
Last Wednesday morning the Butler
boys, who had been found guilty I
robbery. were brought before Judge
Church to receive their sentence.
During the trial they had maintained
good spirits and seemed confident that
thew would be cleared, but when the3
were, brought into the court room

tried to conceal 1t, the humiliation
which they felt was plainly to be seen.
and when sentence was being passed
upon. them the younger of the two
boys concealed his emotion only with
the greatest difficulty. The punish
msnt for the crime of robbery is not
more than twenty years nor less than
ten in the penitentary at hard labor.
The minimum sentence was imposed
by the court, and in few words be
t5ld them of the conditions With which
they would be surrounded and tried to
snow them the bright side of the life
to which they were going. He told
them that if their behavior was good
they might soon rise to the rank OF LIST
grade prisoners when their work
would be- pleasant and easy, they
would not be compelled to wear the
regulation prison strip, their fare
would be equal to that Of the officials
of the institution, and various other
privileges would be accorded them.
The Judge also told them that their
conduct and attitude toward others
would have to be different from what
the evidence indicates it has been
heretofore if they expect to rise to
their privileges at the state prison.

THE COTTON TREE.

Il Grows In Mexico and 10 Immune
From the Boil Weevil.
The federal department of agricul-
ture has instructed the United States
consular agent at COMMEMORATE, Nexi-
GO, to make thorough investigation
of the cotton tree which dourishes In
that vicinity and report fully to Wash
ington. 1t is evidently the object Of
the department to introduce the tree
into this country il possible.
The cotton tree is said to be native
Of the state Of Jalisco, which is one OF
the smaller divisions on the Pacific
side Of the neighboring republic. Ac-
cording to Senior Hilario Cuevas, on
whose hacienda near Lagos it is be-
ing scientifically cultivated, the plant
begins bearing when five years old and
continues to be productive for half q
century or more. In some instances
single tree has been known to produce
as much as fifty pounds of cotton in
one season, the fiber being very similar
to that of the cotton plant and adapta-
BILE to the same uses. 1t is immune
| against the boil weevA and all other
insect pests, and under proper coEdi-
| tons the.growing of it may be made
/ Immensely profitable.
II the report on the tree warrants
such action the department Of agricul-
ture will no doubt take prompt steps
/ toward growing 1t in the cotton belt of
this country. 1t is hardly likely that
the cotton plant we all know SO well
will be supplanted, but as a part OF
the campaign against the boil weevi
everything should be done which
seems to tend toward immunity from
that pernicious insect. 1t may be thai
the cotton tree will solve the problem

LfcOrice.

Licorice was once highly esteemed
incidentally. and its cultivation in Eng
land began early in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. 1t was thought sovereign
remedy for coughs and at one time was
a very profitable crop. Its name comes
from two Greek words signifying
"sweet root" The root was first i'm
ported from Spain. The extract of
licorice is still used in candy and lozen-
ges and, it is said, must be made from
the dried roots, otherwise it is not so
bright,and clear In color.
