NeIIs rs Weather Prophets,

A popular idea in Switzerland that
some Of the wells in that country are
reliable weather prophets has been
proved by scientists to be well found
ed. These wells, by some sort OF pres
sure, not clearly understood, have the
property OF drawing IN air at certain
times and Of blowing out air at other
periods. In order to ascertain definite
ly If there was any truth in the idea
of weather prophecy the wells were
covered and small opening was sur
mounted with a U shaped pressure
gauge. 1t was found that when the
barometer rises the air rushes into the
wells in a steady current, and when
the barometer falls the air rushes out.
Tine currents Of air are definite and
easy to perceive. even without the
gauge. The general tendency of the
weather is fOretold with considerable
certainty.-Chicage Tribune.

Tallahassee, Dec. S.-We have
parted reluctantly with the perfect
Indian Summer weather of the last
month-to-day is chill and gray at
the capital. Although nothing has
transpired of general interest this
week there has been an unusual
number of well known men here
during the week.

Fall came up Sunday in the interests
OF Mr.. McFall for the appointment of
tax collector of Hillsborough county
vice G. Z. Worth who has filed his
notice of disqualification with the
governor. Mr. Worth has held the
Office for number of years and was
reelected at the last election, but on
account of failing health will not
serve after the expiration of his pres
ent term. Mr.. McFall was appointed
Monday by Governor Broward.
To-day Senator Thomas F. West of
Milton, Representatives-elec Ion L..

Extending the Market
for South's Staple.

That the appropriation of a small
sum by congress for the purpose OF
extending the market of the southern
cotton planter is appreciated is evi
denced by the following resolution
passed at the recent meeting of the
Southern States Commissioners of Ag
riculture in Jacksonville:
Whereas, Cotton is the principal
money crop of the south; that this
will continue to be so for years to
come is a matter about which there
can be no difference of opinion We
note with a degree of great satisfac.
ton that the United States Congress
at its last session appropriated a small
SUM to be used in the commendable
work of extending the market in for.
eign fields; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the Southern
States Commissioners Of Agriculture
and Agricultural Workers, in eighth
annual session, convened In the city of
Jacksonville. Florida, take advantage
of this, the first opportunity, to ex,
press our appreciation of the recog.
milton given our greatest crop and
heartily commend the good work un.
dertaken for the benefit of the cot
ton planter and the manufacturer, and
urge our Southern Congressman and
Senators to use every effort to Sc
cure adequate appropriations for tH'
active continuation of this work.
There is no question but that the i'm
portance of this matter will commend
1t to the careful consideration of rep.
resentatives Of the southern states
in congress and that an effort will be
made to secure a sufficient appropria.
ton to carry on the work.
The south's great cotton crop should
receive the recognition to which it is
Justly entitled. Extension of the mar.
ket will, of course result in greater
demand and consequent increase in
value of the staple. two things for
which the south would be sincerely
thankful.

Industrious Chinese Children.

, The Chinese are a wonderfully in
dustrious people, and their children
learn very early to make themselves
useful. In the streets of a Chinese
town 1t is no uncommon sight to see
two children who are so young that
they can hardly talk trotting along
with a bamboo pole on their shoulders
by which they are carrying home a pail
of water. If one child is stronger than
the other the pail is hung near his
shoulder, for thus he takes the heavy
end Of the pole"

A Backward Fall.
He glided out
Before them all
And circled swiftly
Round the hall,
He dipped and swung
And curved and slid,
And every graceful
Thing he did.
Till the spectators
In amaze
Did nothing else
But gawp and gaze.
And then-and then
How can We tell,
Or how explain,
What then befell?
We only know,
That way down town
The jar was felt
when ne sat down,
We know one leg
Is in a splint.
But what he said
We dare not print.
We know folks walk
Ten miles or more
To look at where
He hit the floor:
We know when folks
Come to condole
With him he says
Lord bless my soul!s
Some cen suggest
He'll skate again:
He tears off language

we did hope this year that there

the statements made by reliable gem
temen who were present, that politi-
cal undercurrent so prejudicial to
everything in the state brought its
Hidden forces TO bear and pushed
aside right and justice. We can not
aririn that President Brown has q
political bee humming in his hat. but
the choice of judges in some instances
inclines one to that opinion"
