The SNAKE and die EoeIe-

The American consul at GuayaouiI,
Ecuador, tells good story about the
difficulties he has had TO keep mon
key on the consulate premises because
of the depredations OF the boa con.
strictors, and these agile little pets
must keep constant lookout for them.
If Jocko drops into doze he is likely
TO wake up dead.'
On the occasion with which the
story deals monkeys life was saved
by the picture of the American eagle.
The consulate sign all over the world
is a fine reproduction of the king of
birds in full color and with outspread
wings. A new sign had just been re-
ceived and was waiting on chair In.
side the room. A big boa constructor
chased the house monkey across the yard
and through the open window. Jocko
wasmaking goodrace, but losingone.
He was in the corner, quaking with fear
and very near deaths door, when his
pursuer confronted the picture of the
eagle in its menaclng attitude. A snake
fears eagles even more than 1t Graves
monkeys, and that particular reptile
turned tail and went out of the win
dow as quickly as If the devil was
after 1t. That monkey was a smart
monkey, and now whenever it wants
TO take a nap 1t goes to roost over
the picture of the eagle.-Mexican Her

FAMILY INFECTION.
Methods In the Home That Produc.
the Bcht Resultn.

Methods In the Home That Produce
the best Results.
Family affection thrives only when
all matters in the family are decided
on their merits, without reference TO
age or strength. Slipshod family gov
eminent and allowing children to
tyrannize over one another are rcspon.
sible for the absence of affection in
families.
Sometimes the tyranny of weakness
exists in household, the youngest and
weakest holding whole family al bay
but this is the exception. Some
mothers decide every quarrel accord
Ing TO the age Of the disputants, the
younger child always being forced 10
give up to the older Children brought
up this way are likely to show hatred
for each other. aud prefer to play with
other children than with each other.
Often these family hatreds start in
child life and coptInHe until death and
are the direct result of maternal mis-
management.
Children should be brought up to oh
serve the laws of etiquette not only in
society. but in the home. The mother
should set the example and see that
it is followed by the children. The
rights of each member of family
should be recognized by each other
member. and well regulated house
hold will follow.

Curious Bread Law.

There is curious provision In the
British bread acts of 1922 and 1896,
which are still in force, to the effect
that every person who shall make
for sale or sell or expose for sale any
bread made wholly or partially of peas
or beans or potatoes or OF any sort of
corn or grain other than wheat shall
cause all such bread TO be marked
with a large Roman NJ" It would
thus appear that the baker who chooses
to put potatoes in his bread could
escape the charge of adulteratlon by
marking the loaf with this'letter in the
manner described.

Mlssissippl's Public Schools.

! The Meridian Star has this to say
about the educa,loYal interests Of
the State; The educational system
of Mississippi is one of the most
vital questions before. the Legisla.
ture.
While we have many defects il
our school System, Mississippi ranks
high among her sister States in the
amount spent on public education.
1t is fact not gen orally known
that she stands next to Massachu-
sets, considering population aud
the assessed valuation of property.
This j. remarkable when we bear IN
mind the fact that more than one
half of her people are negroes, VINO
pay no taxes.
The amount spent annually by
Mississippi for public schools is
81, 100000. The number Of edu
cable children, white and black is
529,3ll. According to the report
OF Supt. Whlehrld 6557 teachers
are employed in the schools, of
whom 3545 are white and 30l2 are
4,
women and 1912 are men. The
average salaries paid are s30.64 per
month for whiles and $l9.39 per
month for negro teachers.
The tight that i, being made by
the educators OF the Stale for iim-
provements in the school system has
attracted wide attention and much
interest is manifested among the
people. Among the many things
