Paducahans Awoke to Find
Several Inches Sunday.
Little Inconvenience Caused TO bus
iness--strect Cars Are Run
ming Regularly.
A NEW WEATHER FoRECAsTER.

Paducahans we're greatly surpris-
ed yesterday when they arose to find
the ground white with snow. The
downfall continued all forenoon, and
the official report is three and a half
inches. The mercury began to fall in
the afternoon, and went to IL above
before this morning.
The city has had a snow pillow at
work in some parts of the city, but
all localities have not been reached
The street cars ran rather irregularly
for a time. but as soon as the snow
ceased the lines we're all opened and
remained so.
II is possible that the weather re-
ports Paducah now gets from Wash
ington will after tomorrow come from
Louisville. Government Observer
Bornemann, however, has received
no official notice of any such change.
Kentucky will Wednesday have
new chief observer, Mr.. Ferdinand
Wall, of Chicago, who is now at Lou.
isville to succeed Major Hersey, who
goes to Ithica. n. Y. Paducah and
other Kentucky cities formerly re-
ceived their daily weather forecasts
from Louisville, but for some years
past have been getting them direct
from Washington.
Yesterdays Courier-Journal says of
the change:
I'm addition to having charge of
the local Office, Mr.. Walz will have
charge of the new general district
which has just been created by TAX.
ing the states of Kentucky and Ten
nessee from the Washington district,
and he viii forecast the weather for
both states.
1.-THE change is in line with the
policy adopted by the weather bu-
reau officials some years ago. At
that time the forecasts for all the
states were made in Washington,
while the local stations issued fore
casts for the city in which they were
located. Thus Louisville has always
had its own local forecast issued by
the observer stationed here, while the
general forecast for Kentucky is is
sued from the Washington Office. The
first new district created was known
as the Chicago district, and the fore
casts for all the great agricultural
states of the west are now made by
Prof. Cox at Chicago. A second dis
trict was made later on the Pacific
slope, and nov Kentucky and Tonnes
see have been made into fourth dis
trict
when Mr.. Walz assumes charge
of the Office next week he will not
only make forecast for Louisville
and vicinity. but will make forecasts
for Kentucky and Tennessee, which
will be telegraphed to hundreds of
cities and towns in the two states.
BY this move the importance of the
Louisville office will be greatly in.

riage by reporter. admitted that. he

opening to the track beneath, the
entire train passing over his body.

The Dor spider,

The giant of the whole spider family
Il the hound" or dog spider of Mad
agascar. Its body weighs almost a
pound, and each of Its eight legs Is
longer and larger in diameter than the
common cedar pencil. Each of its
mandibles is three-fourths Of an inch in
length and very strong. The dog spider
does not spread net and lie in wait
for its prey, as do the gigantic bird
spiders OF Ceylon, but follows the
trail' In exact imitation OF hound.

and kill lizards foot or more in length,
and Professor Barnaby tells of one
which pounced upon and killed full

be the only variety among the larger
species of spiders which is absolutely
nonvenomous, there being no more dan
ger in its bite than there is in that Of a
squirrel or rabbit.

Drinking Hot Wnter-

There are four classes of persons
who should not drink large quantities
of hot water: First, people who have
irritability Of the heart. Hot water
will cause palpitation Of the heart in
such cases. Second, persons with di-
lated stomachs. Third, persons af-
flicted with sour stomachs. Fourth,
persons who have soreness of the stom-
ach or pain induced by light pressure.
These rules are not for those who take
hot water simply to relieve thirst, but
as a means Of washing out the stom-
ach. Hot water will relieve thirst bet
ter than cold water and for that pur-
pose is not to be condemned. But hot
water is an excitant and in cases in
,Ghicb Irritation Of the stomach exists
should be avoided.

Carpenters Strokes to Drive n Nail.
How many hammer strokes does n
carpenter use In driving n naili
Perhaps not one carpenter In a thou
sand or one iayman In ten times that
number can tell or ever think OF It.
The truth Of the matter is this: The
carpenter takes seven strokes In driv-
ing a nail into ordinary wood and
twelve regular strokes and two finish
ing taps in driving nails into hard
wood.
These figures are furnished by a man
who works at night and sleeps-or tries
to sleep-by day and whose bedroom
window opens out upon fat building
in course of erection. He figured the
average number of hammer strokes for
nine mornings and, having learned
them, moved to hotel until the new
building is completed.
He discovered that the carpenter
drives an average of three nails a min
ute in soft wood and fraction under
three In hard wood At this rate he
would drive LAO nails a day in soft
wood il he keeps up the gait steadily
and 1852 in hard wood. He would give
10,0S0 hammer strokes in soft wood
and 20, 100 in hard wood.-Chicago Trib-

The Man Eating Batta..

The man eating Battas Of North
Sumatra have postal system. They
make use Of hollow tree trunks ut
cross roads, and these primitive letter
boxes are largely patronlzed by young
men and women, who read and write
and correspond in a degraded native
script. which is traced on palm leaves
in vertical lines that run upward and
from left to right. These Battas,
though undoubted cannibals, are skilled
in agriculture and In raising stock.
They form large communities, have
an organized government. hereditary
chiefs, popular assemblies and a writ
ten civil and penal code. Their pictur-
esque dwellings have been compared to
Swiss chalets, and the ground floor is
reserved for their live stock. For their
skill In ironwork, pottery and weaving
they are probably indebted to Hindoo
teaching, and their repulsive habit is
combined with belief in a triune
deity, Creator, Preserver and Destroyer.

The heart of England is n sturdy
member that throbs responsive to ev-
cry call of duty. That, indeed. is not
common to England, but is heritage
OF every land where the love Of country
is deep in the breast Of man. But the
real heart OF England-its exact geo.
graphical center-is altogether another
proposition. So far from being occu-
pied by patriotic sentiment, tree ex-
actly fills the space. 1t is called Round
Tree and is both a picturesque and dis
tingulshed growth. Cold stone might
mark the spot, but this living monu-
ment which greens as the snow melts
is much more fitting. This ancient oak
typlfies the national strength, and the
associations attached TO 1t thickly as
leaves in midsummer make 1t thing
of affection and veneration.

PonuInr Nnmen Ahrnnh.

Numerous as are the members of the
Smith family, they do not occupy as
prominent a place in European direc-
tories as they do in those of England
or at home, though they take up much
room in the Berlin directory, 5000
schmidts being registered. They have
to give room, however, to the Schultzes
and Mullers. In Brussels the Jansen
family is the most numerously repre-
sented, while the greater space In the
Paris directory is given over to the
Martinets.
Morelll and Vitelli are the names
most numerous in Naples, and here the
Smiths sink into significance: but, like
the word hello" the name of Smith
is heard around the world and is repre-
sented in practically every directory
published, more than may be said of
any other surname, whatever its ma
tionality.

UNsCRUPULoUS GRAFT.
Mining Company Holds Up Employees
for Mail Carriers Services.

According to the government mail
contract with mail carriers on what
are designated as star routes" such
of the mail from Sumpter to Alamo,
they are required to deliver mail to
anybody along the route that puts
box at the side Of the road. The con-
tract expressly stlpulates that the car
rier shall make no charge for deliver
ing mail TO such points.
Notwithstanding the above. local
mining company that has It's mail de-
livered at a box on the stage road has
hit on the scheme Of holding out so
cents a month from the wages of each
man employed at the mine. The So
cent charge is made for mail. and the
men naturally want to know why they
should pay the company so cents
every month for what mall they re-
ceive.
The question is asked who gets the
bO-cent "rake-off" II Is against the
law for the mail carrier to take pay
ment other than what is called for In
the contract with the government. so
the company is not out cent for hav-
ing a mail sack left at the mine nv the
