Railroad Bill Will Pass.

Hon. f. A. McLain, member Of con-
gress from the seventh Mississippi dis
trict states: Indications are rood
for the passage of a railroad rate bill
through both houses of congress at the

obstacle is the possibility of dis
agreement between the hopsa~alfd sen

Mr.. McLai,e srated that it is finally
~settreu at Washington that no rivers
and harbors bill will be passed at the

Somerset Man Unearths a Large Sum
of Money In a Cellar.

Mr.. George Stafford, the we'll
known politician and business man
of Somer ct, in making an excaya-
tion, few days ago, for the pur-
pose of putting in a furnace in the
basement of his place of business
on West Columbus Street, in this
village, unearthed heavy oak
chest, securely bound in iron,
about two feet below the surface.
Mr.. Stafford, after some difficulty,
succeeded in breaking open the
chest and was most agreeebly sur
prised to find himself at one bound
rich man, for the box contained
a large quantity of old gold coins,
the latest date of which proved
them to be of mintage of over one
hundred years ago. Mr.. Stafford
refuses to say just how much mon.
ey the box contained, but it il
generally supposed that it was a
very large amount.
While the citizens of Somerse,
and vicinity have been congratu,
lating Mr.. Stafford on his lucky
find, it is not at all likely that he
will retain possession Of it without
bitter fight in the courts, as Con.
stable w. w. Fulkerson, the own.
er of the premises on which the
discovery was made, is determined
to use every effort in his power tt
recover it for himself and his heirs
However the case may turn out il
the end, just now it looks as if il
will be long time before the mat
ter will be finally adjusted, as il
all probability other claimants will
come forward as the great discov
cry becomes known, as the prop
erty has changed hands a number
of times in the past century, ano
experts say that the treasure ha
been buried at least one hundred

HOW TO HOLD THE DICE.

as you threw the first one you may
catch it in the cup all right. but at the
same time you will be pretty sure to
throw the first one out of the cup. AS
for catching both together as they come
down, you will find that almost impossl-
bic. The proper way to get the second
die into the cup without losing the
one that is already there is to let your
hand drop suddenly, at the same time
letting go the die which you have been
holding.
The die will drop, too, but not as
rapidly as your hand, so that you will
have no difficulty in getting the cup
under it and catching It.

ANIMAL WONDERS.
The Way Some wild Creatures Hide
From Their Enemies.

The Way Some wild Creatures Hide
From Their Enemies.
Nature has strange and wonderful
ways of helping her wild creatures to
protect themselves from their enemies.
She teaches them how to hide so that
hardly the sharpeSt eye can discover
their whereabouts, even though they
are not covered up at all. There is
bird-its name Is ptarmigan-which in
the winter time wears pure white plum
age, 50 that when the snow is on the
ground the bird can hardly be distin-
guished from it. In summer time the
ptarmlgan grows a new set of feath-
ers which exactly match the dull
mosses and weeds where it is usually
to be found. There are birds nests
which are 50 like the tree limbs that
hold them as to deceive the keenest
eye, and other nests closely resemble
the mosses or the ground upon which
they rest. Insects there are, too, no
end of them. which are to be found, If
one has the skill to see them, upon
foliage or branches having exactly the
same colorlng as themselves. One of
the most curious OF these creatures
which are 50 well protected by their
coloring from discovery is butterfly
discovered by naturalist in the jun
giles of Borneo. When flying it shows
the most brilliant hue5 upon its wings,
but when it settles upon IL bush it can
scarcely be distinguished from the
leaves about it.

The girl whose turn is next must an
swer with sentence that shall have
at least three words in it that begin
with the same letter as the noun lamp
post" For instance, she might reply:
~ would leap Loyalty to light you"
The next girl may ask:
"Will you lend me dollar?"
The reply may be:
81 dare say l would donate 1t If
We're not so dolefully poor"
The answers that are made ON the
spur of the moment are often SO lu-
dicrous that they would make an owl

When You IInxc q Cold.

There are apt to be symptoms Of
"weepiness" with cold. The lids are
red and sometimes swollen. Partlcu-

little hot water to take Off the chill
Fit the cup over the eye. throw the
head back. opening the eye wide, let
ting the liquid bathe every portion of
the eyeball. This will reduce any irri-
tation. also remove any Inflammation.
Aching limbs and joints are more than
often an accompaniment of cold. A
good general rubbing with alcohol or
spirits Of camphor will take away the
stiffness. The fever accompanying n
cold affects the hair as well as the
body. so that daily massage will be
necessary. This will prevent the hair
falling and also aid in keeping up the
general circulation.
