 The endorsement of a promissory note by the payee therein who is insane, Is void and confers no right upon the en- dorsee; and In an action by the endorsee upon a note so endorsed against the

 New Orleans. La.. Aug 9th. 1905. "Citizens' conference wires today that if you furnish the officers. they will furnish $3,000 per day If 1t is needed. They begin with sixty odd thousand in hand and can easily raise the rest. They give us authority to discharge and em- ploy and in no way tie our hands. No offer could be more frank. and I unre- servedly recommend that we accept the trust at the earliest possible moment because time Is extremely valuable.

QUARANTINE KEPT UP
JEFFERSON COUNTY STILL AFRAID
 OF MONTGOMERY.
Relieved That More Leniency Will be shown in Prevailing Restrictions
 By Middle of the Present

Birmingham, Aug. 6.-tSpecial)- While the strictest kind of q Quaran- tine is being maintained by Jenerson County against Montgomery and all infected points. it is believed that some tendency will be displayed towards the Capital City of the State by the mid dle of the week. B. Frank Toe, the State quarantine officer at this point, is determined on enforcing the regula- tions to the letter. The League or Municipalities Is offering a reward Tor the arrest and conviction of all per sons who have come into Jefferson County from Montgomery or infected points within the last few days. Re- ports have been circulated that some people from Montgomery have been coming to Birmingham via Calera and Selma ol Calera and Anniston or Ca lera and Montevallo. Two quarantine officers are now working on the South . ern Railway trains from Selma and at Montevallo care Is taken that no pas sengers from Montgomery are permit ted to board the Birmingham bound trains.
 Birmingham people are making in quiry as to conditions in Montgomery, there being many people related to or interested in people in Montgomery.
 Birmingham as a municipality has withdrawn its quarantine but the County is carrying out the work which was formerly done by the city.
 The railroads are taking great care of refugees. The Alabama Great Southern Railroad (Queen X Crescent Route). in particular. is handling q large number of people from Northern Louisiana and Mississippi. Superin- tendent Grisgs is watching the sched- ules of the special trains being run for the refugees so that they will get tc places in time to receive food and wa ter. In Alabama the coaches are kepi locked and in some instances windows of the coaches are required to be kept closed. Superintendent Griggs is moi responsible for the law but he is giv' ing the passengers every attention a: | far as furnishing them with food auC water.
 Railroad officials in Birmin gham as | sert that the quarantine regulations have already cost the railroads thou sands of dollars and much discomfitur, | Is being felt.

1t is easy to prepare coffee zOithoHs boiling which
means coffee free from the injurious Tannin and
which means coffee containing only the fragrant
and healthy elements of the bean.
How Is this done, you ask?
Just note the illustration of the Percolator.
To make coffee, first place the ground coffee
in the cup at the top of the pot. Then fill the
lower part of the pot with cold aOateT.
See that tube extending from the bottom of
the pot right to the top of the cupH
Well, this tube is hollow, and at its lower end
there is a valve which fits on an alright base.
AS soon as you place the tube in the pot, it
fills with some of the water you have put there.
The valve at the lower end of the tube also con-
tainS water.
Just put the pot on gas or any other stove,
turn your heat and the Pcrcolator is ready for
making the hcalthiest most delicious cup of
coffee you ever tasted.
You see, the heat turns the small bubble of
water in the valve into steam almost imme-
diately.
This steam forces the cold water in the tube
into the cup containing the coffee grounds.
Then this water in turn drips through the
coffee in the cup into the pot beneath. carrying
with it the Caffeine and other fragrant elements
of the bean but never releasing the injurious
acld-Tannin.

GLE A MIN G s
By Penn Steele
A VEGETABLE TIMEPIECE

THERE is a venerable old riddle, so
venerable that it may have gone
round the cycle and become young
again, which asks " When do you get a
vegetable timepiece?" The smart man
who knows it all is or was expected to
answer: When l get a turnip turnip
being at one time facetious for a watch
that wouldn't go. The correct answer is:
When l get up at eight o'clock" Say
that aloud and you will recognize a
pun that would blush to blazon into
print.
Now it appears that in Borneo there is
a plant which is known as the clock
plant, and which in a rough sort of way
register the time of day. 1t has leaves
of two sizes, one of which acts in the
capacity of a minute hand, which keeps
moving until four o'clock P. NJ and the
other keeps going until morning. The
larger leaves act as the hOur-hand.
Starting in a position when all the leaves
lie close to the stem, with the points hang
ing down, they rise gradually until they
turn toward the top, and then they drop
to their former position. 1t takes the
smaller leaves about one minute to go
through this performance, and the longer
leaves just about one hour.
