TITLES.

The centurion. as the name implies,
was the commander Of 100 men in the
Roman army.
The title bailif was formerly very
honorable, and the official was vested
with many important powers.
The title colonel comes from the word
almost the same in several languages,
signifying column. The colonel was
so called because he led or commanded
the column.
The title mayor comes from the
French and originally signifed lone
who keeps guard" He was the head
steward of q city. administering its at
fairs in the name Of the king.
Imperator was originally a title Of
honor bestowed on victorious general.
After the downfall Of the Roman re-
public it became the title Of the SUI
preme ruler and had the sense Of our
word emperor.
The royal title beg has now almost
disappeared and when used in the al
tered form of hey is applied to milf
tary rank in the Turkish army. Orig
inally 1t was deemed more honorable
than that Of sultan.

Nailed to the sidewalk.

Nailed to the Sidewalk.
"There is only one custom in our
country which would like to see es-
tabltshed in America. and that is the
custom of dealing with drunkards,"
said Persian. "In our country when
man gets drunk we take him and nail
him to the sidewalk, driving the spikes
through his ears. Then when other
people come along they spit in his
face and kick him until he is sober. 1
think this method would do a great
deal of good in America, because you
have more drunkenness than we do.
There are no saloons in Persia, the
chief beverage being homemade wine.
They don't even know what beer is.
"Our officials have several ways Of
making prisoners confess to crimes"
said the Persian. 1.-THE favorite meth
cd is to take them on stand around
which all the people of the town
gather and then put out one eye.
If the crime is not very great an arm
Is cut off or leg severed. If it is only
trivial offense probably an ear is sac
rificed. Very often innocent people
are subjected to these torments, but it
cannot be helped.
"The Persians very seldom hang a
man for crime. If he kills another he
is fined $15 and allowed to go. II he
kills ten or q dozen and the people
finally decide that he ought to be put
out Of the way he is hanged. But he
is not hanged as they hang men in
this country. He is hanged by the feet
and a heavy weight is tied to his head.
Then he is allowed to die. II the. ac-
cused prisoner is a woman her hair Is

Tense is trivial one. If it Is serious
one she may be turned into room
filed with mad cats and be scratched
to death.
Persian jails are dark cellars and
contain no furniture whatever. The
government doesn't feed prisoners, this
being left to friends of the accused.

AN ELECTION TRICK.
Ono Sample of the Dodges to Which
They Resort In England.

Ono Sample Of the Dodges to Which
They Resort In England.
Canon ]. George Tetley tells the fol-
lowing story of the late Justice Dem
man, who in 1865 ran for election at
Tiverton, in England. He was adyer-
hsed to address the electors on GER
tain morning. In order to fulfill his
engagement it was necessary for him
to leave by the 9:15 express. He had
taken the precaution of ordering cab
overnight and was quietly eating an
early breakfast when attention was
called to two or three men who seemed
to be hanging about in the neighbor-
hood of his house. He thought little,
however, of the matter, but presently
sent his servant to put his luggage on
the cab, which was due to arrive. The
cab approached the door, but before
the portmanteau could be located one
of the mysterious strangers jumped In
and was driven rapidly away.
And when this happened second
time it became evident that something
very definite was intended. So Mr..
Denman consulted his watch. and, di-
recting his luggage to be sent after
him, he buttoned his coat and, calling
to his aid all his old Cambridge train
ing, took a bee line for the station. He
met not one empty cab till too near the
terminus to be Of any service to him.
He dashed through the booking Of
fee" on to the platform, seized the han
die Of carriage door as the train was
actually starting and flung himself into
compartment
On arriving at Tiverton he found his
committee in a state Of extreme anx-
iety which gave place to establishment
and relief on his appearance, for the
walls Of the town were covered with
placards warning the Liberal electors
that their candidate would not keep
his engagement to address them.

STARTLED CARLYLE.
How Charles Godfrey Leland Brought
the Cynic to His Senses.

How Charles Godfrey Lelnnd Brought
the Cynic to His Senses.
Charles Godfrey Leland said that on
his first meeting with Carlyle the wise
man showed himself in a somewhat
cynical frame of mind, from which he
was aroused only by bit Of whole
some opposition.
"And what kind of an American may
you be-German or Irish or what?'
Carlyle asked.
"Since 1t interests you, Mr.. Carlyle"
replied Leland, ''to know the origin of
my family 1 may say that I am de-
scended from Henry Leland, noted
Puritan, who went to America in 1885,"
II doubt whether any Of your family
have since been equal to your old Puri-
tan great-grandfather," growled Car
lyle, and this, combined with some
slurring remarks which he had pre-
viously thrown out in regard to Amer
lea and her history, reused Leland's
spirit.
"Nlr. Carlyle" he said deliberately, ''T
think that my brother, Henry Leland,
who got the wound from which he
died standing by my side in the war of
the rebellion, was worth ten of my
old Puritan ancestors. At least he
died in ten times better cause. And
allow me to say, Mr.. Carlyle, that
think in all matters Of historical cr1ti-
cism you are principally influenced by
the merely melodramatic and theatric-
al"
Carlyle looked utterly amazed and
startled, though not at all angry.
"Whot's thot We say?" he cried in
broad Scotch.
Mr.. Leland repeated the remark. A
grim smile as Of admiration came over
the stern old face. 1t was with deeply
reflective and not displeased air that
he replied, still in Scotch.
INA, ma, I'm nae thot," he said. And
he dropped into a milder strain and
made the interview an occasion to be
treasured long in memory.

Attention
Farmers.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
in the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go south where you can
work out doors every month
In the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now s'eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the RI
gors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both flesh forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro.
portions. Alabama and
Florida produce in abundance
the velvet bean and cassava,
the first a flesh producer, and
they are the cheapest and
best fatening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
al farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the
South than in any other
section of the Union.
