LONDON, July I4-In the midst or

for pleasure is at its height. halt

Of the smart set Provided she and
Herod did you well. there would be
no difficulty in making every excuse
for their actual life. That world for
which our Lord would not pray, speak

When you see them together, so suited
and so happy. it is quite impossible
to think that the Almighty could wish
20 shatter what. after all, is nothing
but a beautiful soul union.

say, the God Of love could not wish

HIS MAJESTY INFORMED.

1t is well known that Shebaw had
learned to speak English in a RAM
COON, and had been in a mission
school in that town, which happened
in the following manner.
His father inspected the school and
expressed his satisfaction. To him
the missionary said:
IF your Majesty would really en-
courage us, you would send one of
your sons to our school,"
Certainly" rejoined the affable
monarch. What age should the boy
be?"

Turning to his Prime Minister, the

"Oh, yes, many. your Majesty" was
the rejoinder. And so a lord of white
elephants learned English.

SAVE THE OYSTER JUICE.
A Domestic Economy and a Com
merciaI Opportunity.

Ten thousands of gallons of oyster
juice is thrown away every year in
this country-a most remarkable cir
cumstance, when it is considered that
this fluid, if concentrated and put up
in cans like clam juice, would afford a
nourishing and delicious food, desira-
BILE for table use and particularly suit
able for invalids.
Some day an enterprising manufac-
turer will take hold of the idea and
utilize it in a commercial way. Mean
wniIe, any housewife can put UP con
centrated oyster juice on her own &C
count, if she chooses. All that she
needs to do is to strain it through
cheesecloth in order to free it from
impurities, boil it down to the requis-
tie density, and put it up hot in crock.
cry jars that have been previously
sterilized by boiling them.
Put up in this way, a fluid with a
delicious oyster flavor, which could be
used as soup, would be available at all
seasons, inasmuch as, If properly pre-
pared, it would last indefinitely with
out deterioration. Nothing could pos
sibly be more digestible or more
wholesome. AS a food product, it
would doubtless rival the clam juice
which IL now nut up for market on a
large scale in cans and jars. A curl
GUS use Of clam juice, by the way, is
made by topers, who find that a cup
full of It enables them to drink more
liquor without showing the effects
than they otherwise could.-Saturday

A TRUE FISH STORY.

Engineer Sam Ferguson, on one Of
the locomotives of the Central Com
pany has a very peculiar pet, whose
history if translated from fish Ian,
guage, would doubtless be very inter
esting, since it is estimated that this
fish has travelled ten thousand miles
by rail. When quite small the big
pump feeding the locomotives de-
posted a small fish in the tank
of the locomotive. The little
fellow seemed satisfied with his
new surroundings and for ten months
has made every trip with Engineer
Ferguson, and from little fish, he
has grown to a fish of some size, and
seems very we'll pleased with his itin-
Grant life. The water coming from
the creek, the fish has little trouble
finding plenty of things to eat always
at hand

AN AMBASSADORS COMPLIMENT.

The Brazilian Ambassador at the
dinner in Washington to Mr.. Root
realized the ideal of diplomacy as we'll
as of international friendship when he
said for himself and his fellow-coun-
trymen: We realize distinctly that
no magnet for freedom, for progress,
for peace, was ever built in history ON
such powerful scale and possessing
such strength as North American de-
mocracy." Coming from the greatest
South American republic, such COM
pliment to the world greatest repub-
lie is one in which Americans may
well take pride as equally honorable
to giver and receiver.-New York Tri-

SHAVE YOUR BEARD
Unless, OF Course, You Have No OBJ
lection to Being Bald.

If you do not want to be bald, re-
frain from growing a beard
1t is simple recipe for keeping your
hair which a physician of eminence
offers. His theory is that men who
are bald owe their affection most Of
ten to the wearing of boards.
He does not pretend to say why
this should be so, but merely directs
the notice of any observant person to
the fact that nearly every man who
rejoices in a luxuriant growth of
whiskers has a deficiency of hair on
the top of his head. On the other
hand, most clean shaver men possess
good heads of hair.
Many men who are clean shaven in
earlier life permit their boards to
grow when they have reached middle
age. In consequence (if the theory of
the physician quoted be correet), the
hair begins to fall off the top of their
heads. 1t is a fatal mistake. The fire.
quent and regular use Of the razor is
the best insurance against badness. r
1t would seem, says this physician,
as if nature could provide for the sup
port and nourishment of only a GER
tain amount Of hair. II a beard is
grown, the crop on the scalp suffers.

CAR SHORTAGE
ALARMING.
ONE LARGE COMPANY GETS IL
PER CENT OF ACTUAL NEDS.
OTHERS IS PER CENT.
AND LESS.
WHAT WILL BE THE oUTcoME2

That the L. & N. Railroad Company
have it in for Mt. Pleasant phosphate
shippers, or that they have more prof
table business elsewhere is a self-evi-
dent truth, judging from the car fam
inc that continues to exist here week
after week and month after month,
with no relief positively in sight.
Thousands of tons of rock are above
ground and ready for shipment. Ship
pers rise early and work late in an
earnest effort for provision of cars,
only to go home disappointed each
night. Thousands of dollars have
been lost to them on account Of the
scarcity of cars. Contractors are
suffering untold grievance, they be-
ing unable to hold their hands for
lack of work furnished them since the
sheds are full and there is now out in
the weather more rock than should
be. But the greatest sufferers are
the fertilizer factories, whose acid
tanks are full and running over, in
many instances, and whose contracts
due to have been filled months ago,
are still untitled.
AS reliable means of information
the writer has taken the trouble to
communicate with most of the ship
pers to ascertain just how many cars
they had received and how many had
been ordered for use. One large ship
per reports IL per cent. of the num-
Der of cars actually needed, three
other companies less than 20 per cent.
and others from 25 per cent. to one
third of their needs. What will be
the outcome no one knows, yet the
secret burning desire on the part of
shippers for better transportation
facilities in the form of a competing
railroad is ready to become a public
one, and if no such facilities come in
to sight soon, the public need not be
surprised at an effort to enlist local
capital and subscriptions for funds to
build a road to connect with the !. G.
and Southern Railroads at Nashville.
That people living along the route
would not only cheerfully give rights
of way, but subscribe literally has
been assured and it is expected that
steps will be made befor long
towards securing in some way anoth-
er road to Nashville. 1t is believed
that Nashville capital would be easily

The Mt. Pleasant Commercial Club
will appoint strong committee, who
will be instructed to earnestly look
into the railroad construction bust
ness and if neither the I. G. nor the
Southern railroads are disposed to
enter this field with a line, steps will
be taken by them to ascertain what
financial aid can be had for immediate
construction work on the road. Ferti-
lizer factories will be asked to sub
scribe for stock, but the. purpose
should be to keep the road under To-
cal control
To those who are unfamiliar with
the untold resources of this, the rich
est phosphate deposit of the known
world, the above may seem "fishy,"
but to the most conservative posted
ones it is reasonable and practicable.
That the necessary subscription of
stock could be received in a very
short time, is not doubted for a mo-
ment by those who know what road
could reasonably expect in the way OF
business from this field. The road
could be assured of half million dol
lar business to it's own part of revenue
from phosphate shipments alone.

CHEAP TAX DODGERS
IN NEW YORK

There are fifty demigods of wealth
who keep domiciles along Fifth ave-
nue., at least six months in the year,
yet when the taxman comes around
they sneak out of their obligations by
claiming residence in Newport or Vir-
ginia or in Long Island. This year
the evasion of taxes by millionaires
mas been particularly scandalous.
The worst of it all is that these per-
sons get the greatest benefit from
police protection for their properties;
they are enabled to evade jury serv-
ice; they for the most part refuse to
vote and are altogether a poor lot of
critters, judged by the best standards
of good citizenship. Yet when a poor
devil who may happen to a piano
grumbles about personal property
taxes they call him an anarchist OF
the 129 boxholders in the Metropoli-
tan opera house only six pay taxes
on a valuation of 100000. The whole
business is a cheap, unpatriotic
swindle fit to stand with the insurance

with them.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The prices of phosphate rock being
on the upward tendency, and the de.
mand greater for all grades of rock
it seems high time that the Mt. Pleas
ant Southern Railroad would be Civ
ing some satisfaction to the miners
owning large deposits along its line
extending to Southport. The road
should be broadened, and that work
should be accomplished by May /.
With the standard guage the phos-
plate mining in Mt. Pleasant would
be almost doubled this year. by the
operations along the Mt. Pleasant
Southern, thus proving a source of
much business both to the Southern
as we'll as a general impetus to the
movement to make Mt. Pleasant con-
troll the market for phosphate of all
grades.
Rates on freight moving from Mt.
Pleasant is very often made to apply
to one route only, which forces the
shipper to wait for cars for that spe-
cial routing. Something should be
done to have the rates Gotten higher
than the rate given for the special
road) to read via any route making
the delivery desired, then the shipper
would have the option of several diff
ferent line equipment, possibly with
the same rate, but even if higher, in
many instances the higher rates are
preferred rather than let a fertilizer
plant close down it's factory from want
of phosphate rock
