"E Pluribus Unum."

We are indebted to John Adams for
our national motto. "E Pluribus
Unum." While he was minister to
England Sir John Prestwick suggested
It to Mr.. Adams as good motto to in
dicate the union Of the colonies. 1t
was submitted to congress and adopted
by act of congress June. 1882. The
eagle in its beak bears ribbon on
which is the motto. In the early days
of its use the eagle bore also in Its
talons a bundle of thirteen arrows. but
when, in 1S41, new seal was made to
take the place Of the old one, which
had become worn, only six arrows
were placed in the talons. Whether
this change was ordered by law or not
Is not known. The old Latin motto
was in use In England as far back as
1880 on the Gentleman's Magazine.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is
entirely closed. deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of 10 are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall s Catarrh Cure

OLD TIME THEATERS.
The Way House and Stage Were

The Way House and Stage Were
Lighted In Garriek's Time.
1t must have often struck people
when reading Of the performances in
the eighteenth century how 1t was that
the lightning was contrived. The pow
er Of oil lamps was limited enough.
Theaters like Drury Lane and Covent
Garden were Of enormous size. There
were no footlights, at least until about
the middle of the eighteenth century,
and they were the humble floats" dim
enough. Yet there was ample light to
observe expression and play Of fea-
lures. so necessary In interpreting the
fine old comedies of character. Now
adays the stage Is one blaze. 1t is lit
orally bathed and suffused in light.
There are no shadows, and yet 1t might
be said the amount of necessary light
is no more than there used to be and
is not nearly as satisfactory. How was
1t then?
In the theaters of Garrick and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the heads of the actors from the
arch Of the proscenium and just out
side the curtain. When the play was
over, these were lowered slowly. sig
nal for the audience to depart. These
chandeliers furnished goodly amount
Of light on a circular zone Immediately
below them. The actors faces and fig
ures were lit in the natural way, as the
sun would light them, but the rest of
the stage was comparatively dark or
gloomy.-Blackwood's.

ROASTING Coffee.

In Norway, where superb coffee Is
made, a bit of butter is added to the
beans while they are roasting in the
covered shovel used there for that
purpose. In France as well piece Of
butter the size of walnut is put with
three pounds of the coffee beans, and
also a dessertspoonful Of powdered
sugar. This brings out both flavor
and scent and, moreover. gives the
slight caramel taste which will be re-
membered as a pleasing part OF French
coffee.

The Lint of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-

that the generally accepted Limitation
of human life is many years below
the attainment possible with the adj

is now possessed. The critical period,
that determines its duration, seems
to be between so and 90; the proper
care of the body during this decade
cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity.

FRANKLlN'S KITE.

as Described by Himself.
The famous kite experiment is de-
scribed by Franklin in letter dated
Oct 10, 1852: make n small cross Of
light sticks of cedar, the arms so long
as to reach to the four corners of q
large, thin silk handkerchief when ex-
tended. Tie the corners of the hand
kerchief to the extremities of the cross,
so you have the body Of kite. which,
being properly accommodated with
tail. loop and string, will rise in the
air like those made Of paper, but be-
ing made of silk is better fitted to bear
the wet and wind Of a thunder gust
without tearing. To the top Of the up
right stick Of the cross is to be fixed
very sharp pointed wire rising a foot
or more above the wood. To the end
Of the twine next the hand is to be
tied silk ribbon, and where the silk
and twine join key may be fastened.
This kite Is 10 be raised when thun-
der gust appears to be coming on, and
the person who holds the string must
stand within a door or window or un-
der some cover, so that the silk ribbon
may not be wet and care must be TAX
en- that the tWine does not touch the
frame of the door or window. AS soon
as the thunderclouds come over the
kite the pointed wire will draw the
electric fire from them, and the kite,
with all the twine, will be electrified
and stand out every way and be at
tracted by an approaching finger. And
when the rain has wet the kite and
twine you will find the electric fire
stream out plentifully from the key on
the approach of your knuckle"

Do not try to cure catarrh Of the

Breathe Hyomei, and its medication
will go right to the spot where the

Tallman & Co. have seen so many
cures Of catarrh made by Hyomei,

The cotton warehouse movement,
which was inaugurated in Texas by
the Farmers union about a year ago,
has grown to big proportions, mar
rates the Kansas City Star.
1t is estimated that more than ST.
100000 have been invested In the
Farmers union in Texas in the erec-
tion of cotton warehouses and by the
opening of the cotton season an ad-
ditional 100000 will have been ex-
pended for the same purpose. More
than three hundred warehouses have
been built up to this time at an esti-
mated average cost of $4,000 each.
Many new warehouses are being
built and the total number will reach
500 within a few weeks.
1t is stated by officers of the Far
mers' union that the success of the
new plan will be so marked and
gratifying that it will extend rapidly
all over the South during the next
two or three years. 1t is expected
that by the opening of the cotton
season next year there will be not
less than 1900 cotton warehouses in
operation in Texas.
The particular object of the ware
house movement is to bring about a
material increase in the price of cot
ton. 1t is hoped to maintain a mini
mum price of ~ cents per pound for
the staple. In order to accomplish
this concerted action on the part of
the growers is necessary. The plan
also involves doing away with the
middleman, who in the past has reap
ed good share of the profits in the
sale of the product.
The number of Farmers union
warehouses this year will not be suf-
ficient to handle more than a fourth
of the Texas crop, but even by the
storage and judicious marketing of
four or five hundred thousand bales
an appreciable effect should be had
upon the market. 1t is claimed that
when the storage capacity of the
state is increased to point where the
whole of the crop can be taken care
of the real worth of the cotton can
always be obtained. 1t is planned to.
market the staple just as conditions
warrant.
Farmers Cooperative Gins.
There are 75 counties in the new
state of Oklahoma and it is reported
that there will be erected a cotton
gin in each county, owned and con-
troled exclusively by the Farmers
union in each county. A few were
established last season. They were
a success, so much so that the move
ment is general this year. The plan
generally is to incorporate gin COM
pany with a regular set of officers
composed entirely of members of the
union and then sell stock to the far
mer in order to get money to pay
for the machinery. The gin is run as
cooperative institution and the cot
| ton is 8inned at cost.

Courageous Acting Which Averted a
Panic at Sea. a
Captain John Theaker of the Earl OF
Eldon was homeward bound from Bonn
bay with a load of cotton. A large
number Of passengers were on board.
About three days out the; captain
had good reason to believe that the
cotton was smoldering. ANY knowl-
edge Of such a catastrophe would cause
a general panic. It was impossible to
put back In the teeth of a northeast
monsoon, SO the commander quietly
prepared for the Inevitable.
The passengers, bored from lack OF
occupation. were amused and interest
ed when Captain Theaker proposed to
play at having d FIRE on board. He
said that they would go through all
maneuyers just as if a confiagration
were taking place.
The passengers fell In with the sug.
gestion eagerly. The boats were got
ready; provisions were put in, with
water, sails and compasses The seats
In the various boats were allotted, and
the assengegs nsad de up hnndl Of the
valuables they considered the most
precious Thus, quietly. but quickly,
the .tjoke'' was carried out to the full.
When all was ready the captain
calmly told the players that the game
was In earnest and that the ship was
really on fire, with the flames making
toward the powder magazine. The
boats were speedily got of, and in less
than an hour the explosion occurred.
The boats were 1000 miles from
land, but the weather remained fair,
