Plans of Mir. North.

The following excerps from the let ter of Mr. North to MT. Seymour are given with view of showing the outline of the work to be done:
 ''The census bureau will instruct its agents In Alabama to secure duplicate returns from each gnner, one on the census form and one on the form fur in ned by you, both sets of returns to be mailed to the respective bureaus at the same time.
 ''The director of the Alabama bureau will not later than August 25, 1907 fur nish to each ginner a copy of the law regulating the collection of cotton sta tistics, and in the letter transmitting this law he will acquaint the ginners with the plan of cooperation between the nl- reau, advising them that the local special agents of the United States census pu- reau have been designated and authorized to collect the reports for the Alabama bureau at the same time that these agents secure returns for the census bureau.
 ''The Alabama bureau will supply the census bureau with a sufficient number of copies of the state act regulating the col lection of cotton statistics for distribution to the census bureau

 Officials
PLANS OF MIR. NORTH
The Census Bureau Will Instruct It's Agents In Alabama to Furnish Duplicate Glnners' Returns
 to the State Bureau.

Montgomery, July 11.-(special) )--Ala- bama cotton ginners' reports are to be gathered for the state bureau of cotton statistics by government employees with out cost to the state and in just as eare- full and efficient way as they are as- sembled for the national government This is the information transmitted to w H. Seymour, director of the Alabama bureau, by Census Director North, who Is acting under the direct instructions or Secretary Strauss of the bureau of commerce and labor.
 This is exactly what MT. Seymour has been seeking, and in line with sugges- tions he made to the department offi- cials on a recent visit to Washington. It is also expected that in the end every state will adopt laws for the gather inG Of these reports and with this in view the census director has practically approved the Alabama law, suggesting one or two minor amendments to make it general enough in scope.
 There are many attractive features of the arrangement. IL gives the state the service of the government inspectors, who will operate under the state law without cost to the state, even for mail ins reports; it provides a check on the state and on the census bureau, each checking the other and each under the laws of the state and the nation, and brings to the citizens interested reliable data quicker than they would otherwise be able to get it.
 T have been able to accomplish all l anticipated when the bureau was es- tablished," said MT Seymour. "The ar rangernent gives the state advantages that car hardly be appreciated until bet ter known I have had the cordial sup port oI the members of Congress and officia,s at Washington and it has work GU out to my entl- , satisfaction and to the gr' at benefit of the state l am in accord with the ohangests suggested in the law by MT. North and will ask the legislature top rovide for them. They are such as it is hoped will be put in in every state, and we think they will mean much for the state"

MuTILATED HER CHILDREN,
Then With Broken Glass Cut Her
Own Throat.

Formosa, Kan, June 27.-Mrs. Peter
Johnson cut the throats OF her two
children and her own. Her hsuband, a
wealthy stock and grain dealer, killed
himself three weeks ago by drinking
carbolic acid. She has been acting
strangely ever since.
Wednesday morning she went into
the kitchen, where her sister was get
ting breakfast. Breakfast not being
ready she returned TO the bedroom,
where her two children, a boy of III
and a girl Of 7, were asleep. Locking
the door she picked up a water pitcher
and struck the little girl blow in the
head, breaking the pitcher. Then, TAX
ing a piece OF the broken pitcher, she
caught the boy and gouged him until
his cries brought neighbors.
The frenzied woman ran upstairs
and with a piece Of broken glass cut
her own throat, sevcring the windpipe
half in two. The children may recover
but she will die.

EXPERT ADVICE ON EATING.
Authorities Tell Us What Foods We
Should Consume and Avoid.

Cicero told us long ago that we
should eat to live, not live to eat, and
Prof. Gautier, of Paris, amplifies that
wise pronouncement in the course of
a very interesting article on How We
Ought to Eat" The professor Is the
sworn enemy Of all culinary articles
the object Of which Is to stimulate
taste. excite the appetite and induce q
man to eat without hunger and drink
without thirst.
These, he says, are preJudicial to
the maintenance Of health. When one
has an appetite for plain bread, veg
etables or meat unmodified by any sea-
soning then and then only can one be
said to be really hungry. Another
paternal recommendation which the
professor makes is the old advice Of
our grandmothers, that we should al
ways leave the table with slight SEN
sation Of hunger not entirely appeased.
It appears that we lose every day
from IS to 100 grams of albuminoids,
corresponding to 420 or $50 grams of
muscular flesh or analogous tissue.
An inhabitant Of Paris. for instance.
recuperates on the average to the ex.
tent of 102 or 1O3 grams day.
AS guide to what we should eat
the professor tells US that the best
meat Is that of animals fattened on
pasture land-beef and mutton. Then
comes poultry and pork fed on prod
ucts OF vegetable origin, whether
grain or herbaceous.
One should always avoid the flesh
of animals fattened to excess on mus
cular flesh and also, to q certain ex-
tent, that of animals which are too
young. Veal is not good for either
gouty or arthritic people. 1t Is not
recommended for people with fragile.
irritable: eruptive skin.
Fish, excellent In itself when 1t Is
quite fresh. is easy to digest, but 1t Is
not suitable to eczematous persons or
those who have any other skin dis
ease. Black meats or game excite the
kidneys, predispose to gravel, to he
patio congestions and to arterio-scle-
rosis. One may live absolutely with
out meat; one can not do without
vegetable ailments.
Prof. Gautier deprecates all exag-
gerations and sums UP as follows: Boil
your drinking water when an epidemic
is raging; boil milk, cook beefsteaks
sufficiently and sleep peacefully. A
cup Of light and savory smelling bouil'
lon, q slice Of roast beef properly
cooked, small glass of Bordeaux and
even Of Burgundy never killed anyone
Eat with regularity and in accord
ance with the demands of hunger such
dishes a. have always been regarded
as innocuous and remember that, as Q
rule, It ts neither meats nor bouillon
nor wine nor spices nor coffee which
poison us, but their abuse.

HIGH JUMPING SHARKS.
Doubts Of Sailor Who Says He Knows
Something About the Big Fish.

You published in your paper on Sat.
urday a very curious story about a
shark jumping 80 feet high in the air,
writes a correspondent of the South
China Post.
The writer or author of this story,
captain Of a British vessel, bound
for London, says that he fired rifle
shot at a shark and badly wounded
1t. The shark in question jumped so
high out Of the water that he cleared
the mainsail with the ease of sea-
gull.
Now, dear sir, this is rather a
trife strong. The captain states that
they threw some meat overheard to
get the sharks closer to the ship. At
the moment that the shark made a
grab for the meat the captain fred
his shot, which shot made the shart
jump 80 feet out of the water.
We that have been at sea all know
that there is one kind of shark which
has to lay on its side before 1t can
grab anything between its jaws, and
another kind which has to lay on its
back to do so. The construction Of
their mouths compels them to take
these attitudes. AS q consequence,
the shark In question was either lying
on his back or on his side.
A fish jumping out of the water
makes the following movement: The
fish stretches his back and bends him.

bringing his head and tail closer to-
gether. At the moment he wants to
Jump he straightens his back again
and hits the water with the tail end OF
his body. This force produces the
power which enables him to jump a
certain height.
AS above stated, the shark, when
fired at, was grabbing for the meat,

CIGARETTES LEAD TO CRIME.

A correspondent to the Nashville Banner thus arraigns the cigarette: "One eminent educator has said, I have yet to find boy, however honest or truthful he may have been, who, after beginning the use of the cigarette. could and would tell the truth. A member of the San Francisco board of education declares: A cigarette fiend will lie and steal just as morphine fiend will lie and steal Superintendent Terrence of the Illinois state re- formatory says that 92 per cent of the nearly 1,50O boys under his care were in the habit of smoking cigarettes at the time they were sent to the institution, and that so per cent of them become cigarette fiends. Judges of juvenile courts have declared that, of the incor- rigible and criminal class of boys, not one has been found who did not use cigarettes.
