Alcoholic Drink from Rice.

The alcoholic drink used in the
province of Che-Kiang, in China, is
made from fermented rice. Fermen-
tation is induced by the addition of
cakes made of wheat meal. An ex-
animation of these cakes by X. Saito
shows that the particles Of wheat are
penetrated through and through by
the mycelia of various fungi, Some
seven or more different species were
found. These fungi grow on the moist
ened rice, fermentation follows and a
yellow liquid with an agreeable odor
Is produced.

POISONED BY BUTTERMILK
ENTIRE FAMILY MADE SICK IN
A PECULIAR MANNER.
Strange Illness AfT1icts Thomas COun-
ty People. Thirteen Turkeys Kill
ed by Eating Scraps from Table.

Is buttermilk poisonous? is the
question that has presented itself to
at least one of the prominent physl-
clans of Thomasvile.
One day last week the doctor IN
question was called out in the country
to the home of a prominent family a
dozen miles from brownsville to in
vestigate strange illness that had
several times lately attacked the
members of the family. a feature OF
the illness was that when one member
of the family was taken down the
whole family got in the same fix, and
this coincident had happened for five
times in six week.
The doctor had frequently been to
the home in question and he had al
WAYS taken a certain amount OF plea
sure in the visit because of the fried
chicken and good buttermilk that was
to be had in such abundance. 1t was
not to be wondered then that he ate
heartily of these elements. Not even
a nepsin stomach was experienced IN
til the doctor was we'll on his way
to brownsville. He got sick, Just as
the family said they had been mace
sick. He was nauseated, and utterly
incapacitated for doing his profes-
sional business.
He thought nothing of it until he
later got a telephone message from
the member of the family at whose
house he had eaten the fried chicken
and drunk the buttermilk. This mes
sage informed him that every person
who participated in the dinner, and
there were several outsiders at the
table. were made deathly sick.
Not only was this true, out surplus
bread and buttermilk were fed to an
old turkey and her thirteen biddies'
BEFORE night every blessed one of the
biddies was dead, and by morning the
old turkey had followed them to the
bappv feeding ground. The doctor
saws he is persuaded that the trouble
lies either with the flour from which
the bread was made or with the food
that the COWS have been eating.

THE SEA SERPENT SEASON
MONSTER OF THE DEEP LIFTED
INTO RESPECTABILITY.
Scientific Paper Read Before London
Geological Gives the History of
the Sea Serpent.

Is there such a thing as the sea
seruent?" The answers depend upon
what is actually meant by the ques-
ton, says the London Globe. If it
means, is there one gigantic species
of marine snake answerable for all
the recorded appearances of the So
called sea serpent the answer must
be in the negative. If, on the other
hand, the question means, is there a
marine creature hitherto unknown to
science which might give rise to such
records the answer is that there are
probably many sea serpents, for there
is little doubt that number of huge
creatures hitherto unknown to science
live in the depths of the ocean, and
some of them may be serpents.
The sea serpent, at any rate, has
been lifted into scientific respectable
ity by the fact that paper has been
read about it before the geological
society. This paper gives an account
of a strange creature seen from the
yacht Valhalla near Para by Messrs.
Meade Waldo and M. G. Nicoll.
1t was sighted at a distance of 100
yards, and what was seen is described
by one of the observers as a sort OF
frill-like tuft of the seaweed lamin-
aria. Below this frill was a dark
mass which they took to be the body
of the animal. The neck was as thick
as mans thigh, and the head like
that of turtle. The observers how
ever, could not be certain whether this
head was enclosed in horny jaws or
not. This "sea serpent" then, would
appear to be reptile, and possibly of
the orphician order, in which case it
would be a real sea-serpent.
The sea serpent, however, may be
more nearly related to the extinct
mossasaurus, the sea serpent OF the
Cretaeeous times. Mossasaurus had a
long snake-like body, with the fore
and hind limbs in the form of tin-like
paddles. 1t sometimes attained a
length of seventy-fve feet. According
to DR.. A. Gunther, the mosasaurians
form the nearest approach in nature
to the modern creature of the magma
ton, the 'sea-snake. :" And it is pos
sible that the mosasaurus of Creta-
ceous times may have left descendants
in the present ocean.

who lives there quietly as farmer,
takes d hand in the conversation,
but he never talks of those days if

DUBLIN FARMER QUITS CROP.
PIows Up Entire Field of Cotton
and Will Plant Peas.

Mr.. George w. Johnson, who lives
two miles south of Dublin, astonished
his neighbors few days ago by put
ting his hands to work blowing up his
cotton. He says he found it would be
a waste of time and money to attempt
to make anything from his cotton
crop. He decided he could make
more money by blowing up his cotton
and planting peas where cotton was
growing and he promptly acted on
his impression. Other farmers in the
county state that it is their belief that
it would pay them to follow Mr.. John
sons plan, but none of them, so far
as is known, has decided to abandon
their cotton crops and cultivate peas
instead.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only M way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by ca
