WHEN lNEBRIETY BEGINS.
Medical Authorities Give Informa-
ton Of Interest on the
Subject.

American Medicine quotes DR..
Charles l.. Dana, in the New York
Medical Record, on his conclusions
based on thousands of cases as to
the age of drunkenness, saying the
statistics have a profound significance.
being of scientific as we'll as practical
value. 1t summarizes:
Briefly, it might be said that in
ebriety usually begins before 20 years
of age, and if a man has not INDUCED
to excess before he is %, he is not
likely ID do so later. There are SO
few who begin excessive drinking be-
tween 80 and 40 years of age, that
n who has reached the g of 80
without excuses is almost surely safe.
Dana stated that no cases arise after
40 years of age. There is a popular
idea, no doubt, that numerous cases
do arise after 40. but it is not at all
unlikely that Investigation into their
early histories will bring to light a
long series of occasional overindulg-
ences with some symptoms dating
back to childhood. Dana evidently re-
fers to real inebriety in youth, and
not to the lapses which so many
young men wrongly assume to be a
part Of their education, nor does he
assert that all youthful inebriates are
.incurable, but merely hat old cases
began at an early age"

Sunday School Institute.

MI. N. A. Mott, secretary of the
Sunday School Board, that
the annual Sunday School Institute for
the Mississippi Conference, M. E.
Church, South, will be held at Colum-
bia, beginning Monday evening, May 7,
at 8 o'clock, and closing Wednesday
evening, May g., at $50 o'clock. The
Institute will be in charge of Prof. and
Mrs. H. NJ. Hamill, who have been so
successful in the past in drawing a
large attendance at every Institute held
by the Sunday School Board. Prof.
Hamill is superintendent of the teacher
training department of the NJ. E.
Church, South, with headquarters at
Nashville, Tenn, and he is without a
peer as a trainer of Sunday school
workers. His wife also is one of the
foremost primary workers in America.
The Sunday School Board expects to
make this one of the greatest of their
series OF Institutes, and propose to
spare no pains to make it profitable to
every Sunday school worker who at
tends. Reduced rates on the certificate
plan have been secured on all the rail-
roads.

ASBESTOS UNIQUE MINERAL
When It Was First Mined, the Va
rious Uses to Which It Is Put,
and Other Information.

The mineral unique is asbestos
Different from every other material in
its occurrence, mining, and prepara-
ton for the market, it forms an en-
tire study in itself. 1t was first
mined about 100 years ago, chiefly as
inter esting to the geologist and min
e%ralogist, and of little or no CONNER
cial value. About 1868 it was first
used commercially in the manufacture
of roofing felt and cement. Early at
tempts to spin this fiber were unsuc-
cessful, but the difficulties have now
been overcome so that a single as
bestos thread, weighing not more than
one ounce per hundred yards, which
has a pretty fair strength, may be
made. In its spun state it is used
largely as yarn for packing valves,
ETC., for which use it has many adj
v%antages. Asbestos ropes for fire de-
partments are made entirely of as
bestos, or asbestos with a core Of
steel. With the steel wire core a
three-quarter-inch rope carried near
ly 1900 pounds. Without the core the
three-quarter-inch rope carries over
800 pounds, and suffices for firemen's
purposes.

Pleasures of Caracas.

Yet Caracas is a charming place to
spend a vacation in. One never tires
of watching the pack trains arriving
with loads of coffee, cocoa, or market
ing produce, or setting out with all
manner of queer merchandise for the
country estates. Then there Is the
market, where one is SUR to find some
new variety of fruit or vegetable, no
matter how often he visits it. Even
more interesting to me are the quaint
houses, which seem sc many centuries
behind the times, and yet present such
delightful vistas as one glances
through their forbidding doorways.
And, of course, there are excursions
to be made on every side; tramps
across the valley among the banana
and sugar cane plantations, or up the
hillside to see q coffee estate.-St.
Nicholas.

FABLE OF FIRST NAPOLEON
Tale That Is Supposed to Have Been
Written by the French
Emperor.

The Bulletin de la Societe des
Amateurs de Joucts de Joux Anciens''
publishes an interesting fable dis
covered by Vicomtesse de Clairval,
and attributed to Napoleon +. The
Chevalier lie Beauterne confirms the
assured authorship with these words:
The fable is Individually the work
or Napoleon /. 1t is his style and
character. Moreover, the original ex-
lists III the collection of the duke of
Saxe-Weimar, and the question is only
whether it was composed at Brienne
or IN tire military school. 1t is too
perfect to be the product of boyhood.
h fable seems rather to be a com-
position of the time when Napoleon
competed for the prize of the Acad-
envy of Lyons" Nine. Waillez, how
ever, who in 1858 for the first time
called attention 4 this fable, is of
the opinion that it was composed at
the College of Brienne, in 1882.
The imperial fable is entitled: THE
Dog, the Rabbit and the Hunter" and
its contents are as follows: Caesar,
a renowned sporting dog, has cor
nered q rabbit.
Surrender he commands, with a
loud voice; 1 am Caesar, famous for
his bravery all over the world
And if l surrender, what then?
Jeannot, the rabbit, asks with a trem-
bling voice, while recommending her
sinful soul to God.
Then you'll die
"'Die! And if | fleeg
Even then you will surely die
THUS whatever | do, | must lose
my lie said the little rabbit. We'll,
since | cannOt avoid death, l shall,
with your kind permission, take my
chances in flight
And saying this, the rabbit runs
away. But no sooner does the hunt
err perceive it than he shoulders his
gun, sims, shoots, and-kills the dog.
And the moral of the fable? God
those who help themselves"

Crop Outlook Is Good.

The truck farmers and horticulturist.
of Mississippi are looking forward to g
season of unusual prosperity, all indica
lions pointing to an early spring, il
which event their products will reach the
Northern markets in time to command
the fancy prices always current in
March and April.
Advices from Crystal Springs, Hazel
hurst, Gallman, Ridgeland and Madison
Station state that the strawberry yield
promises to be especially fine. The plants
are in heavy bloom, and with the alb
sence of heavy frosts or a freeze during
the present month the crop will be I'M
usually prolific.
The truck farmers are getting in readi-
ness to plant tomatoes, cabbage, beans,
peas, ETC., and the first promise of the
disappearance of winter will result in
planting work in the fields.
the southern portion of the
State the acreage will be largely in
creased, especially along the Gulf &
Ship Island road south of Jackson.
The fruit crop outlook is all that could
be desired at this season, and the horti-
culturists devoutly hope hat they will
fare better than last year, the previous
season having been very unsatisfactory.
Peach trees have commenced to bloom
throughout this section, and other signs
early vegetation are apparent.

Grand Turv Lectured.

Following a vigorous lecture to the
grand jury, in which he charged that
members of the body had divulged its
proceedings to outsiders, Judge Boothe of
Holly Springs peremptorily. dismissed
from further service one of the grand
jurors. Judge Boothe further strongly
lectured the body upon its duty. His
honor called attention to. the fact that
drunkenness existed all around the
courthouse, and beneath the grand jury's
very nose, and that since court con-
vensd ne had sent a man to. the COUNTY
Jail from the courtroom, who was in a
drunken condition. The grand jury re-
turned nine indictments.

Prisoners confined in the Jefferson
county Jail made an attempt to escape
by picking the lock of the steel cage.
The attempt was unsuccessful, but they
so impaired the lock that the sheriff
was unable to open the cage to bring the

accordingly had a jury impaneled in the
corridor of the Jail and proceeded with

Land Ruling.

A decision of the commissioner of the
general land office at Washington holds
that the township in which Vicksburg is
located is entitled to something over 1873
acres of school lands in addition to those
now possessed by the township. The
case before the commission was lost by
the county, but the above question was
incidentally passed on, and the county
really gains. The particular case before
the commissioner concerned the title to
nlnety-eight acres of land in Vicksburg.
Iiad the county been sustained in it's
contention that this land was a part of
the school fund, hundreds of people would
have been rendered homeless. The
amount involved was about 81, OOO, 900.

ICE COMBINE
IS WEAKENING

SO great Is the clamor Of the peo-
pie over the attempt OF the ice
trust to charge 1 cent pound for
the gacial product during the com
ing summer, that the combine is
already showing signs Of weakening
in its game of extortion. In few
days 1t is expected that some of
the companies will cut the price.
There are two kinds Of ice sold
in Spokane, artificial and that cut
on the nearby lakes during the win
ter. 1t is notorious fact that
artificial Ice at l cent a pound
leaves the manufacturer ire
mendous profit. In Los Angeles
where every pound of ice is man
ufactured, 1t Is sold at so cents per
hundred pounds-just half what is
charged in Spokane.
Where the climate permits, ice
cut from lakes Is a cheaper product
than artificial ice. The Northern
Pacific railway had no trouble last
winter In getting all the ice it
wanted at Cocolalla, Idaho, about
20 miles from Spokane.

EDWARD 0'SHEA TO Be
NAMED COMMISSIONER

Inquiry of the officers Of the In.
ternational Union of Steam Engi.
neers today developed the fact that
a union engineer was not employed
at the Granite building and that
Mr.. O'Shea has refused to employ
one.
According to present plans it Is
the intention Of Mayor Daggett to
send the name of Mr.. O'Shea to
the ew city council Immediately
after it's organization tomorrow
morning.
Councilman Leonard Funk and
Nick Laumer are prominent union
men and it is not considered prob
able that they will vote for a man
with the labor record of Mr..
O'Shea. Besides these two there
are other councilmen who, it Is
understood, will stoUtly oppose
O'Shea's confirmation.
