thorities ON bird lore declare that no
specimen Of ON chung was ever known

eggs, as all other known species of
birds do, and, finally, that their pro-
genitor is a sliBy, four jomted worm,
which has red head and sting OF

worm, according to the curious legend
OF ON chung, lays 100 eggs annually.

How TO Detect Base Coin,

Several cases of making and circulat-
ing counterfeit coin have been heard
at the central criminal court during
the last few days, and at the conclusion
of one of the cases the foreman Of the
jury asked the authorities If they would
take suggestion from twelve business
men who during the year had to deal
with considerable sums in silver coin.
There was, he said, a most simple test
for the detection of base coin. 1t was
to sharply cut the milled edge of a good
coin against the milled edge of the
suspected coin. If spurious the metal
would almost Immediately begin to
shave off, After making personal test
the common sergeant said he quite
agreed with the suggestion Of the jury
as to the usefulness Of the test and
said it ought to be made known.-Lon

Bulldogs \ Menace to Health.

The bulldog Is menace to health
We have this on the authority of a
noted French physician, who says that
because Of his large mouth the bull,
dog is a great purveyor Of disease, es-
peclally Of consumption, diphtheria
sld the like, as the dribbling from the
heavy, loose jaws is incessant. Those
who fondle bulldogs do SO at a great
risk. He traces many cases of in
fictitious disease, especially among
young children, to households In which
bulldogs are kept as pets. When we
add to this the invariable ferocity Of
the beast, the danger to which childrea
and other innocent and defenseless
people are exposed whenever he roams
the streets or highways, we have an
argument in favor of his disposal that
cannot be gainsaid. Away with bull
dogsl

CONVICT CAMP
IS BEING
MOVED
To a Point Where the Pris-
oners Can Work on
Cemetery Road.

The county convict camp is being
Moved, and before the end of the week
all OF the prisoners, teams and road
building machinery will be located at
a point about quarter of a mile from
the bridge across Little Bayou.
AS soon as the moving is completed
and material can be secured the pris-
oners will be placed at work building
the coundy's portion Of the cemetery
read, which lies between the two
bayous, and they will be kept at this
work until it is completed.
Before material can be secured with
which to build the road the lighters
which are to be used in transporting
the clay from up the bayou, will have
to be completed. This, however, will
not require great length of time, and
1t is anticipated that work on the road
Will soon commence.

The sachem of Pokanoket.

The sachem of Pokanoket, known in
the history of New England as King
Philip, was the youngest son Of Chic.
Massasoit. His Indian name was Pc
metacom, but his father was friendly
to the English colonists, who gave him
the name of Philip. His warfare upon
the settlers some fifty years after the
first landing Of the pilgrims at Plym-
outh rock harassed them greatly, but
Philip was at last killed at New Hope,
and the war thus ended. The title Of
king corresponded better with his Eng
lish name than the Indian title Of
sachem would have done.

where for rs cents apiece. Those with
blue, pink or yellow grounds and bro
caded pattern or raised white upon
them are especially pretty. The pink
and blue will wash, but the yellow is
not SO sure. The bags are made by
doubling the towel and scanning the
edges to within four inches Of the top,
not including the fringe. These flaps
are then turned over so as to make a
sort Of little lambrequin, and line Of
stitchiDS put about third Of an inch
from the top, thus forming a hem in
which to place the drawstrings.
Next run ribbon through the hem so
that 1t will draw from both sides.
To wash, remove the ribbons and
press out the drawstrings. Soak blue
towels in strong brine, say half cup
Of salt to quart Of water, an hour or
two before washing. Do not boil. Pink
towels should be soaked at least an
hour in vinegar and water, half of
each, and enough to cover. If in the
soaking any part should be left dry, it
will generally be found to have faded.

Ut is noteworthy fact that a great
deal Of the spoken and implied objec,
ton to Mr.. Bryan's advocacy of the
government ownership of railroads
comes from the South and from men or
his own party. The reason Is not far
to seek. We do not conceive that IL
comes from any deep-seated antip2-
thy to the national operation of our
great steel highways, spite of the
South's lingering devotion to state
rights" and opposition to centraliZa-
ton; outside the ranks of the ancient
bourbons those two issues are no long
er very potent. The protest is social
i'll the main, rather than economic.
The Southern States, practically
without exception, indulge in what are
known as the Jim Crow" laws touch
ing upon railway transportation. Their
effect is we'll known to everybody. No
negro, even Booker T. Washington
may ride in coaches occupied by
whites, but must take those reserved
for people of their own color. What
would be the result of Federal rail-
road ownership upon the scheme?
Clearly no citizen could be debarred
on account of his color from any cars
operated by the United States. Every
Jim Grow" law would fall to the
ground at once, and the Southerners
would have to stomach mixed com.

FLOWER SONG.
All the wide meadows are sweet vii

All the wide meadows are sweet with
clover,
Rosy clover blooms fair to see;
Common as sunshine, but somehow
dearer
Than other statelier flowers can be;
Loving to give on every hand
Scattering fragrance through the land.
Children, dear, if our lives are loving,
Sweet to all, like the clover here,
Having the modest grace of violets
Full OF the buttercup's sunny cheer,
We win be Gods little human flowers
Helping to brighten this world OF ours.

night through the roof and found
meeting Of the Triad society in prog

that the place was dimly lighted by
few tapers. In tub were two sets OF
patriarchal flags, lamp, looking glass,
dagger, scissors, fan, rule, abacus and
scales, ali Of which were part Of the
gear used in initiating members into
the Triad society.
There were also several colored pa
pers with writing on them and a pot
covered with paper and holding fan
tsstic banners. In FROM Of the tub
were lamps. The defendants, who
were members of the society, were
putting the other five through the
process of initiation and had a yellow
piece Of paper bearing their names and
the hour of their birth.

one containing liquid representing
blood and the other grass, and Just in
front of them was a chopper. Among
