t1s question
Who ~Ls lha fry white man TO
make & ccrus-ob pipe: Do yuu know:"
NJ Th2 ne negro told this story:
1t Ets Andrew jackson, President
q taa United States. 4 man by the
name Of ST Armand was soldier un-
der jackson when he was Major Gen
e-sl - View Orleans 81 the time that
Jackson used bales OF cotton for pro
tecting his army he was found smok-
ing e corDcob and said he had made
il himself. This was when Colonel
Thornton, OF the British regulars, made
his attack on Jackson"
A relative of the speakers, Henry
Guesno, who went to New York city
about nineteen months ago, was the
first man to make corncob pipes for
sale. 1t was in 1867, when he was en-
ployed by a man named Mayrone in
New Orleans. Mayrone had been his
owner in the days of slavery and came
upon Guesno one day when he was
whiting pipe and asked him why
he didn't make them to sell The old
style corncob had long been an institu-
ton Of the Southern negro, but not OF
a merchantable article. The interrog-
atory Of Mayrone set Guemo thinking,
with the result that in the fall Of 1867,
at Mechanics and Agricultural Assn-
cations fair Of the State Of Louisiana,
held in New Orleans, he exhibited
number Of pipes, all Of which had
ready sale. One Objectionable feature
was that the bowl burned out very
quickly. Guesno consulted a we'll
known chemist, with the result that
a harmless chemical composition was
applied which infinitely prolonged the
life Of the corncob and which to-day
Is being used in its manufacture. In
the days Of Guesno it was said he re-
ceived as high as s25 for pipe which
to-day can be bought for nickel

Mythical Creatures of J.n.n

The Japanese believe in more mytbi.
cal creatures than any other people on
the globe, civilized or savage, Among
them are mythical animals without
any remarkable peculiarities of con.
formation, but gifted with supernat,,r-
al attributes, such as a tiger which is
said TO live to be thousand years old
and to turn as white as a polar bear
They also believe in multitude NJ
animals distinguished mainly by their
monstrous size or by the multiplication
OF their members.
Among these are serpents eight bun.
dred feet long and large enough to
swallow an elephant, foxes with eight
legs. monkeys with four ears. fishes
with ten heads attached to one body
the flesh Of which is cure for boils
They also believe. in the existence OF a
crane which, after it has reached the
age OF six hundred years, has no need
of any sustenance except water.

GENERAL JAMES LoNGSTREET.
"The Grand Old Man" of the Southern
CnRfederacy.

Gen. James LongstreeL- known Rs
the Grand Old Man Of the Coots'1-
eracy, who died recently at Gainesville
Ga. was considered the hardest lighter
on the Southern side In the civil WAY
He was born in Edgefeld, $. C. jan
s, 1921. His father died when ne was
lad and shortly afterward, Ii lsol,
he and his mother went 10 Alabama
He always wanted to be soldier and
his mother secured for him an appoint
ment TO the United States Military
Academy. He was graduated in lsi2
and assigned to the Fourth Infantry.
He served all through the Mexican
war and was made captain by brevet
for gallant and meritorious conduct in
the battles Of Contreras and Churubus-
co. At the storming of Chapultepec,
on Sept. 13, 1S4T. he was severely

Now that 1t has been conclusiyely
proved that an electric car can be run
at the rate of 10 or 13O miles an hour
without trouble German engineers are
asking whether It will pay to do so.
Owing to the destructive effect of such
high speeds upon roadbed. It is al
legged that the latter must be built of
brick and cement instead OF dirt and
broken stone. Again. TO avoid the con.
sequences when one train meets an.
other, 1t may be necessary 10 allow
thirty feet between the two tracks
thus materially adding TO the cost of
a right of way. Pesslmlstic views like
these deserve careful consideration,
but 1t must not be imagined that the
case is already settled.

Andrade's failure to overthrow Pres
ident Castro's government in yenezue-
la is said to have been due to me-
chanlcal blunder. When, at a critical
moment, Andrade's men lay in am
bush for Castro's army, the insurgents
could not make their guns work; the
firearms manufactures had sent cart
ridges that did not fit the guns. That
manufacturer should be subsidized to
supply firearms to anarchists, bad boys
who run away from home, and people
who do not know when gun is
loaded.

Only men with an imperfect knowl-
edge OF American history will believe
that the frauds in the postOifice de-
partment justify doubts concerning the
soundness OF popular government. If
the frauds had been concealed there
would have been reason for despair
But so long as the government has suf-
ficient vitality to purify Itself the fu-
ture is safe. Honesty is the rule in
public life. That is why the exposure
of dishonesty makes a sensation.

From time immem0rial man has

vice. The dog was an important agent
in bringing man from savage 10 bar
barian and the horse had no small part
in making him a social being. Other
animals have contributed 10 the civili-

food, shelter and clothing. or, as in
the case Of birds, by appealing to the
sense Of beauty and melody, raising
him 10 a higher aesthetic plane. 1t
would not seem an easy thing TO press
bacteria into service and make them
contribute 10 mans convenience, but,
according 10 trustworthy accounts, the
thing has been done and these inyisi-

places where heated lamps are unsafe.

During 1903 5,723 miles were added
to the railway mileage of the United
States. The figure would have been
larger but for the high cost Of mate
rial, labor troubles, and the poor mar
ket for securities. OF the new mile
age 3,790 miles is in States and Terri
tories west Of the Mississippi. More
work was done In Oklahoma than any
where else. The Southern States east
Of the Mississippi are to be credited
with 1,022 miles, which leaves less
than 1000 miles for the rest Of the
country. The gain in New England
was only % miles, and in New York
45 miles. In Illinois, already pretty
well gridironed with roads, 1t was III
miles. There is still considerable rail
road building to be done in the South
ern and trans Mississippi States. Prob
ably there would be good deal more
in the Eastern States but for the cleo
tric roads, which are being extended
50 rapidly. They often answer the
purposes Of the communities they
serve quite as well as steam roads
would. II the figures showing the
number Of miles OF interurban electric
railway built during the year We're at
hand one could form q better idea of
what was done during the year to in
crease facilities for traffic and travel.
The United States-Alaska being in
cluded-will have at the end of the
year a railway mileage of 2O9, ,S55
miles. The showing would be a more
impressive one If the mileage OF cleo
trio lines which do, after fashion, the
work Of steam roads, were included.
