A Curious Test For Beer.

At Munich an ancient custom
still obtains of the burgomasters
and town councillors going annually
to Salvador cellar in order to test
the quality of the beer consumed
by the people. The test is very
primitive one. The officials attend
in their leathern breeches, and beer
having been poured over the wood
en- benches the civic dignitaries
plump down upon them. While
there seated they sing an ancient
song, the same that their predeces-
sors have sung for ages, and in or
der to subject the beer to fair
test they sit long enough to sing
the song through three times. Then
they essay to rise up. If now they
find their breeches sticking to the
benches the beer is voted coed and
sound. Having stood this test, the
beer goes through the formality OF
being tasted, and then its sale to
the public is duly sanctioned.

The Letter of the Law.

The Hon. John Steel was a sher-
if in Missouri. a new county Judge
was elected, and Steel, thinking to
pay the judge a delicate comph-
ment, selected for his first panel OF
Jurors every fat man in the county.
The Judge weighed nearly 300
pounds. The day was hot, and
Steel, when he took the jurors out
to dinner, fed them so heartily that
they all went to sleep during the
afternoon. The judge was furious.
"What do you mean," he roared
at the sheriff, ''by bringing those
slcepyheads into court as jury:
They haven't heard any of this aft
ernoon's evidence. l discharge the
panel. Go out now and get a panel
of men who will stay awake. l
want men with a single eye to JUS
tice, not dolts like thesep
Steel went out and rode the coun-
ty that night. When the judge ap'
peared next morning Steel had a
panel of one eyed men for him.

An Animal Born Only to Die.

The instances of natural death in
the animal world are conspicuous in
comparison with those in the vege-
table world for their greater vari-
ETY. and complexity. There seems
no doubt that this manner of death
established itself Independently in
the different groups Of animals.
Years ago an American naturalist,
Dana, discovered on the surface OF
the sea a little animal of so sim
gular a character that he named it
"monstrilla." 1t is a small crusta-
cean akin to the cyclops so common
in ponds. But, while the latter are
furnished with all that is necessary
to capture and digest their food, the
monstrilla has neither apparatus for
seizing prey nor digestive tube. 1t
is richly provided with muscles,
nervous system, organs of sense and
sexual organs. 1t only lacks what
is necessary to prolong life by ali
mentation. The monstrilla is DOOM
ed therefore to natural dcath.-Pro-
fessor Ellie Metchnikoff in Harper's.

Why He Planted.

The poor man who seeks to help,
even in the smallest way, but with
a right spirit, his fellewmen is OF
infinitely greater worth to the race
than the man of millions whose
chief aim and end are his own pleas
ure. A poor and aged man was
seen planting an apple tree and was
somewhat rudely accosted by q
stranger who said, "Why do you
plant trses when you cannot posi-,
bly, live long enough to eat the fruit
of them?" The poor man raised
himself and, leaning on his shovel,
said: "Some one planted trees be-
fore 1 was born, and I have eaten
the fruit. I now plant for Others
that the memorial of my gratitude
may exist when I am dead and
gone"

ENTERED into REST.
Mr. Samuel S. TiSdale Of Central Pass
es Away After a Long Illness.

Entered into eternal rest on
Thursday, February %, 1907,
MIR Samuel s Tisdale at his
home near Central church after
an illness of typhoid fever
covering a period of twenty
eight days. The deceased was
the eldest son of Mr. James Ii
Tisdale, of the same community
and was fifty years of age. He
had been married twice, his
first wife being Miss Martha
Mccullough, by whom he leaves
three children, and by his sec
ond wife, who was Miss Ellen
Philips, he also leaves three
children.
The remains we're inferred at
Bloomingvale Baptist church
on Friday after his death where
a large crowd of kindred and
friends gathered to pay their
final tribute. of love to the
deceased, who held a high place
in their esteem and whose pres
ence will be sadly missed in
the community in social and
business relations and whose
loss in his home circle is irrepar-
able.
Mr. Tisdale at all times and in
all circumstances walked the
ell-beaten path of rectitude
and when fully conscious that
he was nearing the last of earth
he was impressed with the idea
that with the end of time etern-
ity began, and the bright faith
which sustained him during his
trying hours of suffering grew
brighter as he neared the goal
of the Infinite, and the final
gloom of death was dispelled
bv the distinct realization Of
the eternal aphorism that God
is Love.
Der the bier of our departed
friend we mingle our tears with
his bereaved loved ones and
point them to the promise: "At
eventide it shall be light"

A Curious Bird.

As to food, the weka is omnivor-
Gus, eating everything from pea
rifle cartridge to the remains of
one of his own offspring. l remem-
Der an instance of this when our
dog unfortunately killed young
bird which was too small to eat.
The parents made a decent show of
grief over their loss and then, be-
ing quite sure that the little one
was dead, proceeded to eat up its
still warm remains. In camp wekas
are useful as scavengers, but they
are incorrigible thieves, trying to
take away everything at all white
or glittering, and, as they are able
to move a weight of two or three
pounds, it may be well imagined
that careful lookout has to be kept.
The glance of mingled triumph and
contempt which weka gives over
his shoulder as he walks off with
your pipe is inimitable, and his
whole attitude would make a most
laughable picture if well drawn

Zealand" by A. P. Harper.

An Important Post.

When Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman was secretary of state for
war Queen Victoria wished to make
the car an honorary colonel OF a
British regiment. The prime min
lister, as he now is, demurred on
the grounds that all other European
sovereigns would expect to receive
similar honors. But as the queen
was willing that even this should
DC the car was made colonel of the
Scots Greys. Naturally the appoint
ment caused some excitement in
the regiment. One subaltern was
overheard saying to his servant,
"Donald, the emperor Of Russia
has been made colonel Of the regi-
ment." "Indade," was his reply,
"it's a vera gram thing for him,
but will he b., able to keep bath
places?"

their epigrams before the epigram
became a little satiric sting. Hok-
kus are inspired by grave moments
as well as by the gay ones. An old
statesman on his deathbed sees a
lead leaf whirled past his window,
and it suggests his own faring forth
on the wings Of eternity, and he
writes, "A leaf whirls down-a leaf
whirls down in the wind Nothing
more, but the simple repetition
pours out volumes with beauty and
power.

therefore, be justly called the song

Look Out There! Be Careful, or Some
One viii Get Left on Long Staple
Cotton This Year.

Because the long staple cotton
growers have come together and got
good price for their cotton through
intelligent concert of action, it now
looks like every jackass in the
country is going into the long staple
cotton growing business. Whenever
this condition of things comes to
pass and the growers do not stick to
their organizations there will be less
profit in long staple cotton than in
short staple cotton. Many farmers
refuse to JOIN the Farmers Union
because they say the farmers won't
stick. Now any man that puts up
this kind of an excuse for not stick.

Take Your choice.

We had rather chew the rag than
chew tobacco aud spit upon the hool
of the church or schoolhouse.
If we had no bad farmers In tbe
country good farmers would not
stand SO high.
If we had no enemies would We
have much appreciation for ouI
friends?
You can't take a man very low
down that has not already gone up
high. This should be comforting
to some of us that have never gotten
up high enough on the ladder OF
fame to make our heads swim.
IF cotton farmers could feed their
stock and families on future corn,
oats, hay, wheat and pork crops
without getting their jaws on the
real stuff, like cotton gamblers feed
cotton mills on cotton futures, the
all-cotton farmers would then be in
shape to enforce a square deal with
the wind cotton fellows. .
If we had no trifing, no account
farmers in the country, no CRAFTY
merchants in town, no small lawyers
in the legislature and court rooms,
would we have any use for a lien
law?
Ever hear anything like this:
"I'm not going to lose a crop trot'
ting round after no Farmers Union
and things like that"
Snow, / will be good if this same
old fool won't be found up tree
next fall hanging out on lien law
limb and big cotton bear at the
root looking at him, aud he looking
down at the bear praying and howl
ing: 'Good Lord, ifyou can't help
me please don't help that bear."
Our best generals will tell you
that 1t is an invariable good rule, in
warfare to never do that thing which
your enemies suggest would be best
for you to do. Cotton spectators
have put it in the newspapers and in
theImouths of the commercial travel
ers to sing swan Song all over the
South to grow all the cotton possible,
that-:here never was such a demand
for cotton products and that the
trade will need and take fifteen
million bales next year at ten cents.
Don't you do it! Fill the mouths
Of all that you eat at your place first
with home grown food crops and
then fill the mouths of these cotton
bears with II cent cotton.
