an educator is recognized throughout

it is said, because he has lived here
q number of years and has not be-
come . taxpayer. Well, why not
this objection two years ago? Must
have been something else.
And speaking of taxpayers. DR..
Hubbard is a nice fellow, but how
much taxes does he pay? If we are
correctly informed his name has not
yet appeared on the tax roll.
And speaking of nice fellows, where
would you find finer fellow than
Lee Peterson? But he can't beat
John Watson In the race for treas
urer. It's shame to sacrifice good
fellow like Lee on the alter Of politi-
cal expediency.
And what did the party mean by
side-tracking T. D. Riley for Albert
Bills, for assessor Riley, the poll
tical Hotspur, who has often led the
local hosts to glorious victory. Mr.
Riley is q man Of ability, q quality
alleged to be very much lacking In
Mr.. Bills. Something wrong here.
And what has the G. O. P. got
against AL Ellison that 1t should trot
him out to be run over by George
Aicher In the race for sheriff. Al,
who is a prince among good fellows,
hasn't done anything that we know
of TO deserve such fate.

Baton Rouge. La.-Experiments
with the boil weevil that show tho

commission in the weevil cages
near Keatchie. Some Of the weevils
have been marked and those tha,

months.
The crop pest commission now has
in one of the cages a weevil that

at Keatchie are being conducted
with great success. These are the
first experiments ever conducted with
the boil weevil, and gratifying sue

A PROFESSOR OF ELEAs.
Odd Profession OF Some Persons IN
France-Troublss Of One Of
the Impresarios.

LOncon.-Among the curious profess
sions which one meets with in this
country from time to time is that Of
professor Of fieas. What the professor
trains his alert pupils to do I can
not imagine. writes the Paris corre-
spondent Of the London Globe. but
every now and then at the shows
which camp on the outskirts Of Paris
the flea professor has his booth.
One Of these strange impresarios
named Jocolino lately took up his
residence In a lodging house in the
Rue St. Charles. Unfortunately Joco-
limos pupils multiplied with far more
rapidity than he could train them to
be well behaved. with the result that
their active disposition led them to
explore the adjoining rooms Of the
lodging house, where they performed
on their own account
Their visits were not TO the liking
Of the neighbors. and Jocolino Was
Obliged to listen to some very forci-
bic remonstrances on the subject.
The nuisance, however did not abate,
and finally one Of the tenants, a
plumber named Sauvin, decided TO
take the matter into his own hands.
Armed with a large quantity Of insect
powder, the irate plumber entered Jo-
colino's room in the absence Of the
professor and sprinkled the sxtermi-
nator In all directions.
While he was so engaged, however.
the flea trainer returned and, mistak-
ing the plumber for a burglar. seized
a revolver and shot him in the head.
Sauyin is now lying In a hospital and
the trainer Of the lively flea is in the
hands Of the police.

Shy Bridal Couple.

Harper and Frank Dennis were boy
hood chums and college companions.
The one became principal Of the Gran
Vile (O.) academy and later president
Of the great University of Chicago,
while the other for the past 30 years
has been a trusted engineer in the
Baltimore & Ohio railway service.
Mr.. Dennis. who paid a visit to
Newark the other day. told OF his co.,
iege career with President Harper.
Mr.. Dennis said that a friend OF
Harper and himself was married and,
as was customary in those days,
"belling" was arranged. A big party
assembled at the brides home near
New Concord. but nothing could in
duce the newly married couple to ap-
pear before the crowd until Harper
suggested they be smoked out Har-
per and Dennis started to climb to the
roof TO cover the chimney with
board when, 20 their horror, the top
of the chimney fell This brought out
the brides father. who, after learning
that no special damage had been done,
invited the young folks into the house
for refreshments
All was thought to be well until the
aext day the girls father entered
Justices court and had Harper and
Dennis arrested. 1t cost each Of them
$3.50. 1t seems that Dennis and Har-
per were the only two boys in the
crowd whom the man had recognized.

Why the Hog Proves Profitable.

From the Southern Farm Magazine.
At the outset it will be well to compare
the economy of swine husbandry with that
OF cattle raising. Lawes & Gilbert, the
celebrated English investigators. have
shown conclusively that the fattening OK
consumes twelve to thirteen pounds of dry
substance per pound of gain compared
to four or five pounds for hogs. Thus two
or more pounds of pork can be made on
the food required for one pound of beef.
Though the. sheep is considered one of tho
most profitable and economical animals to
maintain on the farm. the hog makes a
pound of gain on. one-third to one-haf less
dry food. The hog also yields high per
cent Of dressed meat-from "a TO 81 per
cent. With cattle the per cent, of useful
cuts runs down low as Is. though in
some cases II may go as high as 40. and
with sheep, depending on the age and con-
dstion. from 40 to go per cent The hog Is
an economical animal to maintain, as well
as excellent scavenger, though care
should be taken in maintaining hogs on

Steaming Plant Beds,
Southern Farm Magazine.

From the Southern Farm Magazine.
Recently Il method of preparing plant
beds has been tried that seems TO give en-
tirely satisfactory results. This is done by
Steaming the soil. a plot of land with vir-
gin soil is selected. the leaves and trash re-
moved and the ground raked bare. A box
some ten fee long, ten feet wide and from
two to five inches deep is laid upside down
upon the soil and steam from a boiler is
turned into this box for twenty to thirty
minutes. The box is them moved to an
other section of the bed. The ground be-
comes thoroughly cooked. all vegetable life
is destroyed, and the experience of those
who have tested this method OF preparing
plant beds has been very satisfactory.
There are no spots upon such beds with
puny, siCkly plants, are frequently. in
fact, always. seen upon beds burned with
wood Beds may be prepared by steaming
at less cost by half with great saving Of

that bed covering 900 square yards may
be steamed at the cost OF Sl2. or 81 for

Students Aims.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Now that tens of thousands of young men
and women are studying In the universities
and colleges, the question of their aims in
seeking higher education Is of more than
ordinary interest Not long ago President
Charles F. Thwing of Western Reserve
University propounded to members of his
incoming classes the serious query: What
are you in college for?" The answers were
made in writing within an allotted period OF
five minutes. They gave fair basis for
generalization as to the aims OF college
students in America. OF all the replies
handed in by both boys and girls only few
had any reference to direct professional
or religious purpose in taking the college
course. The aim of the great majority was
to get liberal education culture, breadth.
knowledge: in a word, to become larger
men and women The pervading tone of
the replies was eminently wholesome,
healthy, joyous. Some of the students
reasons for being In college were given
thus: THAT / may prepare myself to per-
form duties imposed with good judgment
and in an efficient way ito obtain some
thing like completeness of lfe;" that 1
may develop character" that | may leave
the institution more competent for the du-
ties OF life and more capable of resisting
the temptations of life;;'' ito improve the
mind and body to see and learn more Of
the world. to meet with men of brain and
genius and to learn more of social life;''
''for the purpose of getting solid founda-
ton for my after work" and ito learn to
think, to become cultured and to increase
my knowledge" To-day" says President
Thwine. 1.-The men who feel that at the
earliest possible hour they must be making
money either do not go to college at all or
they go to a technical school. After three
or four years spent in a liberal college the
bachelor Is hardly more able to earn his
daily bread than when he graduated from
the high school. After three or four years
spent in technical school graduates are
able to earn good wages"

Indian Music of South America.

Charles johnson Post. In Harper's Magazine for
January,
In the remains of The vast Indian nation
shattered by Pizarro. the empire of the
Incas. every man and boy almost from the
age when he can walk. Is an adept on their
simple reed flutes and Pandean pipes. They
are a musical race; there are songs and
airs for each season, for the planting, for
the harvest for the valorous deeds of the
vanished caciques, for their gods of old to
whom a new significance has been imposed
by pious church, and the long-drawu
chants by means of which. at their yearly
gatherings, they pass down the history Of
their race AS there is no written Ian
guage, there Is no written music; II Is
handed down from generation to generation
by the ear alone.
Their national instruments are but three
in number: the fiute-a reed about eighteen
inches in length, with six holes and a
square slit at the end for a mouthpiece
played after the manner of a clarionet; the
Pandean pipes-a series of seven reed tubes
that. in the large ones, are four feet In
length and In the smaller ones scarcely as
many inches; and THE drum The last Is the
universal instrument of all peoples; there
are few races so low In the scale Of human
society as not to possess 1t. The Pandean
pipes are in a double row, and. at the time
of preparation for the Indiads, or the inter-
tribal wars. the outer series Is filed with
canassa, the native liquor. and the player
receives the benefit of the Intoxicating
fumes without delay incidental to drinking
from the bottle.

Conditions Now Different.

Conditions now are radically different
King Edward VII does not share the bitter
personal feeling against the Irish as peo-
pie so often manifested by his mother, the
queen. We cannot be absolutely certain
how he feels personally on this subject un-
I'll we have again tried to get home rule
bill through parliament. II we should win
the elections this year, then fail In the
house of lords ii would then be time to talk
about either throwing up the sponge or
adopting policy of physical force and re-
sorting to warlike methods At present,
for all We know, King Edward may be in
favor of home rule for Ireland, and at the
critical point his influence may be thrown
in our favor. just as the influence of the
late queen was thrown against Mr. Glad
stones policies at critical points in pre-
yious campaigns. About all we do know
of 1t is that King Edward Is rega rded as a
broad-sauged, democratic sort of a man,
and we honestly believe that he is more
likely to be found on our side than against
US.

Home Rule Issue.

1t Is true that the home rule policy Ia 9
resulted in the liberal party having been
twice defeated. And not a shadow OF a
substantial gain has been made in the
direction of securing home rule for Ireland
This, too after many years of storm and
stress during agtations the like of which
the world has never seen. But for one
thing the average Irish home ruler prob
ably would be willing to fall back upon the
policy adopted by Sir Henry CampbelI-
Zimmerman favor ultimate home rule
agree that it was all right in theory. bad In
practice, and at the best a mere beautiful
dream or the future in which the Irish peo-
pie are to be allowed to indulge
Inc one reason why we are so strenuous
In favor of home rule this year is found in
the fact that there has been a change in
sovereisns The whole world knows that
Queen Victoria did not like Mr. Gladstone
the great home rule leader, and that she
loved the Irish even less than she loved Mr.
Gladstone Hence 1t was not surprising
that after we won our point with the Eng
fish people and with the house of com
mons, We should find ourselves blocked In
the house of lords. 1t would never have
done to have allowed the house of lords to
have passed the home rule measure Queen
Victoria was absolutely against u.s. and the
place where the monarchy thwarted the
will of the people was right In that house Of
lords. This was not altogether because the
house of lords was utterly opposed to home
rule for Ireland but rather because the
queen was bitterly opposed to the measure
In other words, while We might have been
able 10 even win the house OF lords we
never would have been able to win the
queen.
