This place has certainly got one
thrifty man-oh, you know him, all
right! He never buys higher than
cent smokes, and usually lays III six for
a-quarter. But he appreclates'the fine
articles, nevertheless you treat him
to a cigar he will invariably pick out

The Kansas City Journal the other
day printed the picture of freak, q
jackass which was born with two legs,
and seems to think it Is something re-
markable. In our own little burg, we
can furnish several two-legged jack
asses, and they we're born that way,
too.
This town can boast of one woman
who is a good dresser and who is
abundantly able to buy all the new
hats she wants, who has not been in 4
millinery shop this year or examined
the styles, and who says she does not
intend to. She is wearing her last
years hat and it looks as well as most
of this years creations.

anybody in the least.
One of our bald-headed men has
tried every kind of dope the BARRIERS

say alfalfa will grow wherever it is
planted.
A pretty woman was left widow
with small life insurance. She spent
the insurance money recklessly and
when some one demonstrated with her,
sne said: ~ am going to have one
good time before ! die, and when my
money is gone I will marry again, .
and sure enough she spent the last
cent Of her former husbands life in
surance on trousseau for her second
marriage.

There is quite a tendency in the
state just now to howl and wall Of the
power Of the corporations. Nine times
in ten the man who does it is trying to
use public prejudice to get himself a
Job. There is nothing in present con-
ditions in Mississippi to cause an hon
est man who is not running for Office
any alarm. In fact there is more dam
ger from the demagoeue and the shy
ster than there is from the railroads.
Aside from natural Impotence Missis-
sippi is feeling right well. We have
twisted the tail Of the octopus and
heard him scream. We don't want
to kill the beast, because we need him
to carry our freight. We have trim
med his toenails and knocked out his
teeth and practically amputated his
roar. All We need now is FIRM and
gentIetr eatnent, and the fierce and
vicious beast viii come right up and
eat out Of our hand. The trouble with
some Of these politicians is that they
don't want results. They perfer to
have issues IN which they can run
for Office. The people want results
and they are getting to shy at the de-
marorue who promises reform but
does not perform, There IS 10 reason
il Mississippi to 20 around with q
dismal face and discordant groans.
1--we are doing right well and will keep
riaht On, regardless Of the Mysteries oi
The demarcaues and the pulling back
IF the corporations.

CARE OF CHAMELEONS.

Chameleons can be kept alive for years by making a frame to fit over a plant In flowerpot, and covering it with mosquito netting, which must be long enough to tie with a string about the pot. Keep the pot In the sunniest window and water the plant every day through the netting. You will be sur prlsed to see how eagerly the little creatures will drink the running wa ter after they get over their fear. Set wire fytrap for fees, which you can liberate under the netting. The chame- Icons will not be backward about help ing themselves,
 Tn winter they do not require much food, but will relish meal worm, oc- caslonally, on sunny days. Meal worms can sometimes be got at the grain stores for the asking or can be pur- chased at the bird stores, or smalll spiders can be found in cracks and crannies, asleep for the winter. they may be frozen stiff if found out of doors, but they revive in warm room.
 Chameleons enjoy a place to sleep in nights and winters. Take a piece of red flannel four inches wide and eight inches long, roll it over a stick as large round as your finger and sew it while on the stick so that it will not come unwound; then slip off andl run a wire through it long enough to suspend f. from ma of tbp hrarpbec np tba plant. The chameleons will crawl into this cosey bed and go to sleep. St. Nicholas.

FLAG OUTFIT OF wARsHIPs.

Few realize the number of flags car ried by warship, nor the cost of all the gay bunting which flutters from mast to mast at holiday time. In ad- ditlon to fleet communication, neces- sary during all forms of maneuvers in home water the ship must be equipped with an extensive array of flags stored on board for various forms of cere- monial and official occasions. This "dress suit outfit of bunting, there fore, consists of 25O different flags, the material and making of, which costs just $2,50O Each ship is entitled to 8 new, flag equipment every three years, though 9 flagship will often require a new set of signals, owing 10 their con- stant use and handling, in about a year,
 IA great deal more time and labor are required to finish certain of these flags than is generally supposed For in- stance, the Presidents flag requires the longest time of any to make, as 1t takes one woman nearly a whole month to complete t. The life-sized eagle, with long, outstretched wings, and other emblems, are all hand-sew- cd and involve the most patient work. The most difficult, and likewise con suming the longest time to make, are the foreign flags This is especially true of the South and Central Ameri- can ones. A half dozen specially skill ed hand device sewers. each having acquired the knack of making certain of the center designs in these to per- lection, are continually kept on these respective flags. Every battleship car ries forty three foreign flags, 20 feet by 1S wide.
 The most expensive ensign to make is the German, which. owing to the delicate scrollwork of the large inn perial eagle and royal crown, necessi- tatlng delicate, slow and careful sew Ing, costs s56.5O The dragon flag of China consists of two hundred separ. ate pieces. Twelve to fourteen days

THE OLDEST MASON.

Members of the Masonic fraternity were noticed on the streets yesterday wearing in their lapels small sprigs of goldenrod This was done only in small way throughout the country, but in New Hampshire almost every Mason observed the day in this man. ner. The occasion was the birthday of the oldest Mason in the world who was 106 years old yesterday. He is James Bellows McGregor of Mount sunapee. N. II. The aged man has been a Mason since 1927, and is still an active member of the order. A few years ago Miss Geraldine Bow man, Q little eleven-year-old neighbor of the veteran, started the custom of observing his birthday. The cus- tom has spread all over New Hamp- shire, and in other parrs of the coun- try, Masons in a small way also do honor to their oldest brother.-Phila- delphia Record.

MISS GRACE E. MILLER

''I am not feeling very we'll" "I am so nervous it seems as though 1 shouldfly. My back aches as though it would break"
 How often doyou hear these signi- ficant expressions from wome n friends. More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and there is a cause.
 Mere than thirty years ago Lydia E Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered the source of nearly all the suffering endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills" !" these two words are full of more misery to women than any other two words that cnn be found in the English language, Sudden fainting, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, backaches, headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing down sensations, displacenents and irregularities are the bane of woman's existence.
 The same woman who discovered the cause of all this misery also discovered a remedy. Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs holds the record for a greater number of absolute cures of female ills than any other one remedy the world has ever known and it is the greatest blessing which ever came into the lives of suffering women.
 Don't try to endure, but cure the cause of all your suffering. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. The following letters prove this;

SILK FROM SPIDERS.

Because of the external resemblance between silk and spiders webs 1t has long been imagined that they consist of similar materials. As, however, most spiders webs are entangled with in- sects dust and other foreign objects, 1t has so far been impossible to collect a sufficient quantity pure enough for chemical analysis. At the recent French colonial exhibition held at Mar seilles there was exhibited an interest ing silklike product, which was deriv- ed from a big spider living in Mada- gascar, and which will possibly be manufactured in the near future as substitute for ordinary silk. A French Jesult father, NJ, Camhoue, has in- stalled at Tananarivo a testing plant, in which the spiders are reared in or der to be artificially deprived of their webs Each spider will yield 15O to 500 metres Ca metre is S937 inches) of silk thread at a time, and will die after be- ing emptied five or six times in a month These webs are of very beau .tlful orange yellow hue.
 Professor E. Fischer of Berlin, re- gently succeeded in obtaining a suffi- cient amount of this substance to car Try out a thoroughly scientific analysis. The main component of ordinary silk, a substance caleld silk fibron, is a pro- tein which is remarkable for the sim- .ple amino-acids that it contains. Spid- ers' silk was found to be of a similar 'composition. Because of this remark able affinity between the two sub stances their external resemblance is believed to be far from meaningless. Both substances are known to be pro- .duced from the liquid secretion of glands, which on issuing from the an- imaps body immediately coagulates, acquiring a surprising mechanical strength. This process calls to mind the coagulation of blood
 It Is true that the splnnerets giving off the spiders web are markedly diff ferent from the glands of the silkworn, which supply the material for the silk thread and are considered by zoolo- gists as modified salivary glands. But on account of this very difference in tho organs named the chemical simi- larity of the seeretions is regarded as the more remarka able.-Chicago News.

NATURAL TOOTH BRUSHES.

Natives of Somallland have the whitest and best teeth of any people in the world, and the reason is not far to seek. Whenever they are idle they may be found rubbing their teeth with small pieces of wood, lit- tie twigs which are covered with a soft bark, and which ravels out into bristles. This practice prevents the teeth decaying, and, of course, keeps them in excellent condition. Just as one might pick a wild flowerNin the country, so the Somali native picks his tooth brush. They are never without their small twigs. Tooth brushes as we know them are unknown in So- maitland. Their own methods ara undoubtedly the healthlest, aud cer- tainly the cheapest. and 1t is a matter for wonder that we dot take leaf out of their book in this respect.-The Dndee Advertiser.

Of course everybody meets on board the women who have started for Europe together and who are not speaking after the third day out, or those who are re- turning after weeks of quarrelsome companionship, Nothing is more apt to undo friendships than the close in timacy of travelling.
 Two friends of years standing left New York for Glasgow, intending to be together as far as Paris where they were to separate. In less than week they did not address each oth- CT, except as the exigencies of shar- ing cabin demanded conversation, and when the Scotch port was reach ed one stayed over night at the station hotel to avoid further necessity for intercourse.

TEA.RooM wAYs IN LONDON.

London tea-rooms are interesting to degree, and in many ways they are a revelation to one accustomed to the tearooms in other countries. One of the most popular, which is situated in the fashionable shopping district on Regent street, not far from Oxford street, dispenses, besides the cup that cheers, champagne, cordials, brandy and soda, and numerous other llquics which seem to be much in demand by the dainty shoppers. The latter or Ter quite unabashed and drink their tlpple openly. The wine list of this tea-room, which opens wide on the street and In no way suggests the nature of the refreshments within, contains all the well-known brands of wines and whisky Tea also is served here and sandwiches and cakes The surprising feature about this place which has duplicates in other parts, of London-is not that champagne Is bought and drunk by women. but that 1t is sold on draft and is to be had for ninepence a glass (1s cents)
 Some of the tea-rooms have accom- panying smoking-rooms, but one will see much less smoking In London than is seen in the fashionable tea rooms and hotels on the continent. It must not be considered that these tea, tipple and smoking rooms of Lon don are questionable. They are no better and no worse as fab as gem eral patronage goes, than those at which tea only Is served, and 1t is quite respectable to stray into one which opens wide on the street, sans screen doors or anything to suggest the wine list within.--Harriet Quinn by in Leslie's Weekly.
