Every Nan His Own Brewer.

A Wisconsin chemist says he has dis
covered a method whereby a man can
carry around in small phial 480 schoon-
ers Of good beer.
According to What to Eat he has pro-
duced liquid which is II 900 times
stronger tn n the very best beer that
can be pro- uc'd.
All he will s. y regarding his discovery
Is that il is an lkaloid from hops 8, 600
times stronger than the malt now made
from the best barley. When this fluid
Is combined with water the contact pro-
duces an instant ,neOus fermentation,
forming 81 per cent alcohol, which Is
the quantity found in the best quality
of beer.
The advantage of this Is that one
could place a small phial containing one
ounce Of liquid in his vest pocket and
thus be constantly supplied, not only
with indefinite quenchings Of personal
thirst, but also with enough treats TO
popnlariEe the meanest man in any com
munity.
The Wisconsin chemist thinks he win
make q fortune out of the politicians
alone; but the brewers haven't taken 20
the woods yet.

Owing to the fact that the Board of
Public fnstVuetiop Of Alaehua county
were too slow IN making an appoint
ment Of principal of the University
High School for the coming term, Prof.
w. N. Sheats, principal For the last
term, has changed his mind" 50 will
be noted from the following letter,
which explains itself:
Gainesville, Fla, Aug. Z, 1905.
DR.. ]. L. Kelley, Co. Supt., and Board
Of Pub. Inst, AlaehUa countys
Gentlemen-About June 10 the Board
Of Trustees OF the University High
School, Messrs. w. W. Hampton, G. W.
Hyde and ]. H. Vidal, nominated me
again for principal Of the said school
for the ensuing year, subject to the rat
iieatiOn Of your board (sec. 10, chap.
4678, Laws OF Fl0fida).
A letter, dated June 9th, from Supt.
Kelley, received BY me at Spartanburg,
S. c., said 4: 81 presented the recon-
mendation of the Gainesville trustees
to the board last Saturday. They re-
fused to appoint you principal Of the
Gainesville school on the ground that
YOU did not have q State certificate.
They have instructed me to advise you
that they will gladly do 30 as coon a.
you secure the certificate, provided YOU
do so IN July. Utalics mine.l Before
leaving Gainesville on June 18th, prin-
/ informed the trustees and Supt. Kel-
ley that had taken part of the exami-
nation for State certificate, and would
complete IL in time to prevent any Iose
on the part Of the school from the State
fund, or would indemnify the school
by deducting $50 month from my sal
airy. Then the above letter. On re-
ceiving this letter / returned immedi-
ately to Gainesville and began review
ing for the State examination. In the
meantime trustees Of three other schools
rendered me positions at equal or
greater salaries, regardless Of the GER
tificate ! held. One Of these was the
trustees of the Leon county high school,
at Tallahassee. AS It was doubtful II
my health would. in the extreme heat
Of summer, permit me to the necessary
reviewing TO take q State certificate In
July wrote trustees Of the Leon
county high school proposing II they
would give me the salary named 20
them, insure it by the required legal
forms before the ratification by the
Alachua county board, / would accept
their school.
AS soon as notified, June ~, that
had won State certificate, informed
Supt. Kelley, when ! was told that the
Alachua county board would meet Au-
gust T. Prior TO that date the Leon
county board made good its offer to me,
and feel bound to accept the same.
hereby tender my resignation of the
principalship Of the University High
School, which You have this day, by the
action of your board, legally rendered
me.
hope you will have no difficulty in
finding a principal for the school. ]
thank both the trustees and the county
school board for the Endorsement Inn
piled in the tender Of the position, as
well as for the uniform Kindness Of
both during the past year, l shall go

should return with him 10 the boatehed, for an
hour or two, there being no fear Of any inter.

presence.
Cressngham very gladly agreed, and IL was
with feelings Of real satisfaction that he left the
dreary cavern and found himself once again in

his metal plates; he was now engaged in pre-

the paying Of intermittent attention TO two
small bronze furnaces, he was at liberty to con-

an afterthought; he asked the question simply,
from the depths of an Incompatible innocence.

cursed devil! Every time he sees me he laughs

from the bottom of my heart: You must come

and give your life little of the love it has lacked
so long"

dream" he said Sometimes I think shall
never be able to leave this cursed island. But
