The Eufaula State has been published only a few weeks. but Its editor has had much to do with newspaper publishing in Alabama In a recent issue of The State he claims to have been the first suggester of the names of several dis tinguished Alabamians for positions which they afterwards filled. and pro- ceeds to settle the gubernatorial ques- ton by nominating and electing Con- gressman Clayton Under ordinary coaditions, this suggestion might cause considerable ripple in the political waters, but this Is not a time of ordl- nary conditions-they are rather stren- uous than otherwise.

Years of Pottering

IArttOrd COuTaHt ------
 Tom Watson wonders at Colonel Bryan's cheek. as he might wonder at re. He says. In the July number of his magazine, the Colonel was quite right in telling the banqueters at Chi cago that the time has come for pulp lie ownership and he might have told them just as truthfully that 1t has come without any help from w. J. Bryan. All the labor and heat of the day fell to the lot of the Populists. At the eleventh hour the Colonel steps forward with his 'patent-outside smile" mounts the public ownership the White House. All right" says Tom; let him do 1t If he can" But Tom evidently has his doubts. He remarks in another article that the Colonel has been pottering away for many years at reform inside the Dem ocratic party and is no forwarder in 1905 than he was in 1890.

Not So Bad.

Chattanooga Times.
 A church In Indiana is about to split" because the pastor rides m an automobile, and The Montgomery Ad- vertiser regards the incident as evil dencing very trifiing spirit on the part of the protestants It is not near iy so bad as what happened here once when a serious schism was threatened when the pastor wanted an organ for the church. A preacher who can at- ford an automobile may be suspected not only of having an income outside of his salary-preacher's salaries aren't usually of the automobile size but of caring more for personal com fort and pleasures than for the allevi- ation of the sufferings of the poor about him, Only preachers of the offciate in pulpits maintained by the disciples of "hlgh finance" can con sistently afford autos.

CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Mum bers Form. ing a Serpent-Like Mass
 When Migrating.

The Sciaras, of the genus TipluE, a tiny the forests of Norway and Hungary dur ing the month of July or early in August. gather in huge numbers preparatory to migrating in search of food or for . change of conditions. When setting out On this journey, says Nature, they stick themselves together by means of some glutinous matter, and form huge ser. pentlike mass, often reaching a length of between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the scaria is only on an average of about three-thir- ty-seconds of an inch in length, with no appreciable breadth whatever, the num- Der required to form a continuous line of the size above mentioned is incal- culable.
 Their pace is, of course, very slow, and upon meeting an obstacle, such as | stick or stone, they either writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking into two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated French naturalist says that if the rear portion of this snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part the insects will keep moving round in that circle for hours, never seeming to realize that they are getting no further on their journey. If the portions be broken in two the procession will unite In a short time. When the peasant meet one of these processions he will lay some obstacle in front of it. If 1t passes over It 1t is good omen.

1yIsVFukgetk from himselfe." This be- lief in the celestial origin of honey runs through all the old treatises on apiculture, from the time of Virgil downward. It was supposed to be a kind of mama from heaven. and its quality depended greatly on the favor able or unfavorable juxtaposition of the stars at the time of it's descent.
 Although the existence in each hive ot one bee much larger than all the others was generally recognized in old en times, this was believed to be mere ly a ruler or king over the rest. That the large bee was actually the mother of the whole colony never seems to have occurred to anyone until recent times. This king bee Is very fanci- fully described as having "a lofty pace and countenance expressing majesty. and white spot in his forehead glis- tening like dtadem." In each hiva. also. there were Subordinate govern ors and leaders and captains and colonels, marked by crests tufts or tas- sells on their heads. some yellow, some murrsy." Among various other duties 1t was the kings part to go out each evening in search of any bees that had not returned to the hive by sunset. and to show them the way home.
 From the earliest times honey ap- pears to have been held in extraor- dinary favor as universal specific for human ills. As hair restorer it was largely recommended, rubbed In pien- tifully night and morning, and if dead bees were dried. pounded and worked up into thick paste with the honey, it's hair-producing capabilities were much enhanced. This mess had to bo plastered on the bald places of tho head over night, with infailibls results in the morning. If one may credit . cer- tain fifteenth century writer. For weak eyes the same authority says to take handful of the heads of bees. burn them, and mingle the ashes with honey gathered in the dog days. Tho eyes were then aEointed liberally with tho mixture, and clearness of vision was the invariable reward.
 In the old days the situation of a beehive was a matter of prime impor- tanca. It was to be placed always oD the south side of stream of water. and never in place whore there wore echoes. as an echo was very injurious to bees A little gravel was to be put down in the neighborhood of the hives, as in windy weather the bees needed small stones to carry about in their flight as counterpoises. The baskeeper was recommended to shave and keep his head close-cropped, long hair on head or face being extremely offensive to his charges, and in attire he was to avoid anything of red color. as this was detrimental to the bees.
