{ MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
H0rticulturists to Meet

The horticulturists of the State are
going to hold meeting during the early
autumn for the purpose of making an
insistent demand that the next Legisla-
ture enact fruit pest law that will pre-
vent the importation of diseased and
infested nursery stock. Wholesale COM
plants are being heard over the State
that great deal of the nursery stock
shipped in during the winter and spring
months was infested with the San Jose
scale and other pests, and is of little or
no value. At present the State is abso-
lutely without protection from diseased
nursery stock, and as a result the fruit
trees rejected in other States are dumped
into Mississippi. At the last legislative
session the lower house passed fruit
pest law, in response to the memorial
from the Mississippi Horticultural So
ciety, but the measure was pigeOn-holed
in the Senate Committee on Agriculture,
and did not receive consideration on the
floor of that body.

EDUCATIONAL NoTEA

An association has been formed fop
the purpose Of supplying, under certain
conditions, spectacles to children in
London elementary schools.
The education committee of the Lon.
don county council has been revising
the list OF prize books given to pupils.
Among the books struck out as mot
quite suitable for children to read" are
Vanity Fair" 'Dombey and Son"
"PendenniS" and Great Expecta-
uons."
The recent convention of learned
men at Berlin has advised the govern
ment to establish two kinds of lyce-
ums for girls, one Of eight years. cor
responding to a high school in this
country, and another with a supple
mentary course Of four years, prepara-
tory 10 the university.
Joseph c. Graveur has been school,
master in the Tombs prison, New York
city, for seven years. His pupils arc
the young men and boys awaiting trial
for various offenses. Mr.. Graveur has
exerted an influence for good upon
thousands Of boys. There is not such
another school in the world. The
schoolmaster lets the boys ask him
whatever they want to know. There u
no Sc: form of study. One question
leads to another, and the Tombs school
takes more the form of a general in
bureau than anything else.

Thirty-one by sixty feet, exclusive OF

when the roof space in the gables is

bedrooms. This plan provides tower
an ideal place for boys room. The

| own room with pictures, tennis rackets,
canoe paddles, Indian clubs, lacrosse
sticks, snow shoes, curling stones, ball
clubs, Indian snakes, skis, skates and
as many other evidences of boyish
sports as he can lay his hands on. The
encouragement given by father and
mother go long way toward helping
out in the artistic arrangement of such
boyish decorations. Every boy mas
some esthetic ideas along these lines
that may be developed to his lasting
benefit
A boy with such a room, if encour-
aged by his parents and treated right
in other ways, never has an inclina-
tion to leave home Modern American
life has too strong tendency to lead
boys into outside channels. Men are
absorbed in business, come home at
night tired out and want the young
sters sent off to bed with little court
esy. AS the boys grow older they re-
sent such treatment and look for
street companions, and too often find
amusement in questionable places.
Nine times out of ten, parents are di-
rectly to blame for evil association
tendencies that are developed il grow
ing boys. Healthy boys are full Of life
and demand amusement as their right
full prerogative. If they are denied
these things at home it is the most
natural thing to look for it elsewhere.
Their experience and youthful enthusi- |
asm leads them easily into mischief |
that good strong home influence
would counteract. Industrious Amcri |
cans in middle life usually have the

Increase in Taxable Values.

Hon. T. r. Maxwell, secretary of the
railroad commission, states that in the
year 1900 the valuation of land and per-
sonalty for the purposes of taxation was
$215,765,947; in 1905 the figures were
$2s4,343,137, an increase of over $685.
100000, and more than 81 per cent. for
the five years. In 1900 there were seven
teen railroads operating in the State, ten
interstate and seven iLtrastate, with a
mileage of 2,757, and assessed valuation
of $26,621 ,497. In 1905 the number had
increased to twenty-thlee, eleven inter-
state and twelve intrastate, with a total
mileage of 1904, and assessed value of
S36,316,S00. This was an increase of
$9,695,303, or over Sc per cent. in five
years. In 1900 the assessed valuation
of express, sleeping car, telegraph and
telephone companies was s42S,297; in
1905 it was 81 1,4s5, ,543, or nearly $50 per
cent. in the five years. The tax on these
utilities in 1900 was, with privilege tax
added, $205,ss3; in 1905 it was $751;
44s. This increase was due to the un-
usually large amount of extension Of
telephone and telegraph lines and estab-
fishing of inter community systems.

Thought It Was a Town Meeting.

Attorney Don H. Powers, of Maine
brother of Congressman Lewellyr
Powers, was once defending man
who was charged with some minor Of
fense The trial was before a trial
justice in country town, and at the
close of the preliminary hearing a wag
in the courtroom arose and said: "Mr
Judge, l will make a motion that the
prisoner be discharged"
81 will second the notion" chimed
in another spectator.
The trial justice, who evidently for.
got where he was, and thought he was
presiding at town meeting, said:
1.-THE prisoner is discharged"
Powers and the prosecuting attorney
were so astonished at this method OF
deciding the innocence or guilt of the
respondent that they never opened
their mouths. and the case ended IN
this fashion. n....-Boston Herald.

To Reclaim Swamp Lands.

Although the board of supervisors re-
fused to appoint a drainage commission
for Black Bayou, as authorized in an act
passed at the recent session of the Legis-
lature, some of the citizens of Washing
ton county are determined that the pro-
visions of the measure shall be carried
out, thus opening up for cultivation
more than 100000 acres of the best lands
in the delta, now covered with a heavy
timber growth, the value of the latter
alone being equal to the cost of the drain
age. 1t is claimed that the taxable val
ues of Washington county would be i'm
mediately increased more than million

Chimneys are constructed to furnish

Found Baby in a Basket.

A conductor on a south bound train
on the Illinois Central Railroad found a
basket in one of the coaches containing
a or 4-days old healthy looking baby
boy, neatly dressed. The basket also
contained one silver dollar and a note,
which read something like this: 'T was
put on at Sardis. My name is Johnnie
Johnson. Please take me to jackson.
If you fail to do this, it means death to
me and my mother" The conductor
says he is sure it was placed on the train
at Batesville, and it was not found until
after the train had passed that place.
When the train reached Grenada the
baby was turned over to the sheriff and
was sent by him to jackson.

he was buried III st. Giles, Cripple

his remains were distributed in 1850,
it is said, and it is not quite certain
now where he actually lies. Earlier
still the uncertainty seems to have ex-
itsed. for Aubrey quantity tells US:
"His stone is now removed; about two
yeares since (now 1GS1) the two steppes
to the communion table were raysed.
I cheese 10 Speed and he lie together"
Still, even at the risk of gazing at

st. Giles should be visited today, for
the whole neighborhood speaks Of Mil
ton. It was quite near, in Bartholo-
new close, that he lay hid after the
restoration till he was pardoned; quite
near, in Aldersgate street, that he
took the "pretty Garden house at the

Railroad BuHdinq.

Mandan Pioneer: Although it is i'm
possible to ascertain anything definite in
regard to the plans of the railroad mag
mates as to their proposed construction
work, nevertheless developments finally
give ideas, SO that a plausible reason is
given as to the final object of the build
ers. Here is one which would seem to
bear considerable thought. The branch
line, north of Mandan, is to start from
Glendive and follow the Yellowstone
river to the Missouri, and from there
will follow the river to Mandan and on
south to South Dakota; later will pro-
coed to Omaha and connect with the
Kansas City and southern branches to-
the gulf. The object of this is to give
the northern transcontinental roads a:
southern branch to enable them t Sc
cure part of the gulf trade and place
them in competition with boat routes
when the Panama canal is completed
and give them also a southern territory
for their Pacific trade. 1t is also
claimed that while the Northern Pacific
people are supposed to be doing the
work, James J. Hill is really at the bot
tom of the scheme and when the sup
posed branch lines are constructed by
some sort of manipulation of stock, it
will finally wind UP as a road controlled
by him, and instead Of being two small
branch lines, will in reality be the COM
mencement of a strong railroad.
