ant. The code of honor If the Samuraf re-
Qured of them 10 dispel a Williams attack,
even an armed one, without weapon; and
thus it came that jiu-jitsu was used as a
means of punishment and defence.
A Weaponless Warfare.
That this peculiar japanese method OF
weaponless warfare was originally intend
ed as defense rather than offense becomes
clear when one considers that it generally
gives the advantage to the seconder over
the initiate in contest-so it is that in al
most all the forms of jiu-jitsu contest it is
the beginner who gets the worst. The
moral feature of jiu-jitsu is shown by the
fact that it leads the defeated contestant
to a state of complete control without In
f1icting any injury. The punishment thus
inflicted is termed Submission that is, a
position of utter helplessness, from which
the victim is unable to regain power even
at the risk of life or limb, the only alterna-
tive left to fhim being for his opponent
mercy.
In an actual case, where ones life or
death Is concerned, this Submission pro-
cess may be carried to the extreme, end
ing in a permanent injury or death. Other
wise, the pain impaired and the fatality
threatened by the process serve to force a
prompt surrender The holds for this final
act in a jiu-jitsu contest are so taken as to
give the greatest effect with the least pos
sible exertion, that is to say, in it the we'll
known mechanical principle of the lever is
exemplified. II will be readily seen that
one who eXacts a Submission" needs not
be necessarily powerful man. Indeed he
can bring under his control an oppOnent of
FAR superior strength.

The Weather Calendar.

The Chattanooga Medicine Co.,

dui and Thedford's Black Draught,
have just issued the 1905 edition of
their Gardui Weather Chart and
Calendar. The Calendar, with its
IS sheets 13x2O inches in size, makes
q bright ornament for the wall and
is a useful acquisition in any home
or office on account of its displayed
weather predictions. The prominent
numbers can be read across a large
room, as can the cslored signal flags
showing the weather conditions for
each day. These weather signals il
lustrate the. forecasts of Prof. An
drew DeVoe, who achieved great
prominence by his accurate predic-
tons of the great Galveston, ST.
Louis and Minnesota storms and cy-
clones. So great is the popularity
of these predictions that they are
printed in 2, 500, 900 of these Calen-
dars and in Is, GOO, 900 of the Ladies'
Birthday Almanacs, which T is
sued by the Chattanooga Medicine
Co. each year. We understand that
a. copy of this weather chart and

Nature VS.. the Miiliner.

"She may be of almost any age
writes Constance Fuller Mcintyre of
the modern bachelor maid'' in the
January NEW IDEA WoMAN's MAG
AzINE, "but looks comparatively
young, for she is always modishly
and becomingly dressed. Even if
poor, her good taste and general
cleyerness with her fingers enable
her to make q pleasing appearance
far more so, in all probability,
than when she was sweet seven
teen; that is to say, as far as the
dressing goes, which makes up in
large measure (for all that has from
time to time been averred to the
contrarylfor the first youthful bloom
of her complexion" Mrs. Mcintyre,
as usual, takes a broad view of her
subject and, to use a trite phrase,
sssays what she Thinks; yet the
above seems a dangerous assertion,
even in a magazine which monthly
presents the alluring side of the
wearing Of clothes, and If the milli-
ner's art has arrived at such a
height OF perfection as to threaten
TO supersede the lines and tints OF
the great artist, Nature, it seems
time-to look into the matter.

The body of James A~bercrombie,
a we1-known resident of this Sec
ton, was found in a by-path, about
two hundred yards off the main road
leading east from Scooba and about
three miles from town, at about 10
o'clock. last Thursday morning, by
Aaron Ramsey, colored. He had
been shot twice, once in the left
breast (Which must have caused al
most instant DEATH, the other ball
entering the left shoulder-blade and
ranging downward across the back.
In the dead mans packets were.
found something over $50. 90. in mon
Ley and a revolver with every cham
Der loaded. He was riding a mule,
when shot, and the position of the
corpse Indicated that he had not
moved after he fell from the animal.
Ramsey had driven along the old
road about an hour Before the find
ing of the body, going after a load
of lightwood, and was returning
when he made the discovery. He.
at once came to Scooba and notified
our people, and Magistrate M. Ker-
ney, at Wahalak, and Sheriff A. b.
Tart were telephoned for. The for
mer came down on the noon train
and repaired at once to the scene,
accompanied by a number of our
citizens. A jury of inquest was i'm
panelled, and after the necessary
preliminary examination adjourned
until Friday morning, the body of
Abercrombie being brought to town
that night, On that day the remains
were taken in charge by the local
Camp of the Woodmen of the World,
of which order the dead man was a
member, and after a short service at
the Presbyterian Church We're in
tered in the Scooba cemetery.
On Thursday evening, on affidavit
made by the mother of the dead man
charging r. B. and Thos. McHenry
with the crime, Mr.. Tom McHenry
was arrested, and later Mr.. r. B..
McHenry came in and gave himself
up. The two gentlemen were placed
in charge of a deputy sheriff at the
Lee House.
The jury of inquest convened on
Friday morning, District Attorney
J. H. Currie having come up from
Meridian during the night, and re-
manned in session all that day and
all day Saturday, when they adj
journed until 8 a. m. Monday.
Judge Rob't f. Cochran came up

he was too late; that the boss knew
what a mean shoat he was and haC
marked him of before he had a chanc'
