Louisville 1t is doubtful If they
were typical; but it suggests a happy
idea. OF course, everybody should
clean up the front yard, and we Won
der how many are proud, as they see
visitors gazing from the street car
windows into their door yards, and
how many are ashamed-or worse
how many don't care. But why
shouldn't a back yard look nice just
as well as a front yard? Do you
beautify your lawn for show or to
crafty a love within you?

1t has often been said that spiders
are fond of music, but French inves-
tigator, M. Lecaillou, now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed mere
IL to greed or to hunger. When fly
Is caught in spiders web it buzzes,
and the spider Immediately makes for
the place from which the buzzing
comes. NJ. Lecaillou, by experimenting
with a violin, some flies, piano, vio-
loncello and cornet, found that only
those musical sounds which resemble
the buzzing of the flies attracted the
spiders. The cornet, for instance, in
variably frightened it, and SO did the
piano.

Fifteenth Century Manners.


The antiquary took. down a small
fat volume, vellum-bound, with brass
clasp.
This is a Book of Manners" he
said. 1T was printed in 1476. Here
are a few extracts"
And he read:
'DO not gnaw a bone, like a dog,
nor suck the marrow out of a bone.
I'm peeIing pear, begin at the
stalk; but with an apple, begin at the
top.
do not wipe the hands on the
clothes, nor suck them, but use the
cloth.
"When you drink, lift the cup in
both hands; you must not drink with
one hand like wagner when he is
greasing his cart wheels.
wipe your nose and mouth when
you have drink, and do not cough into
the cup.
"Do not eat an apple all alone, but
cut it in two and give a neighbor a
piece.
"Do not use your own knife to cut
your meat If the host has set knife
of his own at your place.
do not spread butter on bread with
your thumb"

Pour over the cake and bake one-half
hour The cake will swell and fill the

Preserving Corn on the Cob.

1t is quite an easy matter to pre-
serve corn on the cob. Gather the
ears when the grains are full and be-
fore they begin to glaze. Soak them
half an hour in brine made strong
enough to float an egg. Then rinse
them in cold water and put where
they will dry. When the grains are
shriveled and there is no more moist
ure in the cob, pack in wooden boxes
and cover closely in a dark, dry closet.
When wanted for use soak in warm
water until the grains are filled out
fairly well, then cook as though freshly
gathered,

Babel in Mexico.

After answering the telephone and
talking Spanish into it without appar-

hotel hung up the receiver and re-
marked:
"My Spanish isn't the best in the

man would know how to talk at least.
The fellow just talking to me over the
phone couldn't talk enough Spanish to
order a meal, and to save me l couldn't
make him understand, although l know
l used correct language. While he was
talking an American rushed into the
hotel and up to the desk. Say" he
said, cant anyone here talk English.

MR.. HILLS PESSIMISM.

The New York Tribune quotes Mr..
tons to the effect that this country
has reached the end of it's railroad
building; that money is scarce and
high-priced; hat terminals in the
great cities are impossible to buy;
that hostile legislation discourages
investors, these being Mr.. Hills main
reasons for thinking the county will
have no nor railroads. By the way
of comment The Tribune says that
some of these causes are purely tenn
pOrary; that capital will not always
be scarce; hat hostile legislation
may not prove so hostile as some
anticipate, for it may be declared
void by the courts, or the spirit hat
prompted so many Of the ill-con-
ceived an~ti-railroad laws of last win
ter may soon die out.
The Tribune may have added as
another reason why there will not
be a cessation in railroad building
the wonderfully rapid increase in the
output of farms and factories
throughout the whole country and
the consequent growing demand for
increased facilities on existing rail-
roads and the building of others in
to newly developed sections Of the
country. Present financial conditions,
no doubt, will retard railroad build
ing, but the country is growing too
fast for construction to be suspend
ed for n length of time.

THE SOUTHERN AND THE NEWS
PAPERS.

Under the above heading we find
an editorial in the current number of
Everything, from which we take the
extract given below. Brother Fair
brother treats this subject, as he does
everything about which he writes, in
a peculiar style. There is a lot of
truth in what he says in the following:
We have done much boosting for
the Southern, but the cash received
has been limited. Indeed, cur books
show that after boosting the Southern
for sixteen years we eve received in
all that time over a hundred and fifty
dollars in ashland truly we are OF
opinion that we have rendered a hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars worth
or service. We are going to apply to
Judge Pritchard for a Temporary or
der restraining the Southern from.
paying the Raleigh Times any more
cash until we get a bill audited. An
injunction is the only thing that will
bring the company to a realizing sense
Of duty.
Here we AVE been laboring night
and day trying to show a misguided
people that the Southern railway had
OAAA ~ o4AoSA AAN A""- we IdNc
insisted and shall still insist that it
has done more for the upbuiding of
North aroina than all other forces
and we are conscious of the fact that
we haven't received a red copper for
several years-and all told in the six
teen a of faithful servitude not as
much as the Raleigh Times received
in n week-therefore the injunction
must come. s
In the mean time we are going to
insist that the people OF the state
should stand with the conservative
people and demand that the fight
against the Southern be dropped;
they should all give the Southern road
their aid and sympathy. and if it only
helped one paper among the many
that are fighting for it-there is cause
for eongratulation The Times needed
the monev-so why should there be
any kicking coming?

ing, on both sides of the Pacific, no
matter how friendly were the rela-
tons between the two governments"
and how well the heads of those
governments understood each other.
Mr.. Taft's visit to Japan just at
His conduct and speeches there will
assure the japanese that there Is no
unfriendly feeling toward them by
the American republic, and the cor
dial manner in which he has been re-
ceived will tend to allay what irri-
tation there may have been on the
part of our people against Japan and
suspicion of hostile feeling toward
this government by japanese.
That there was further purpose
in Mr.. Taft's visit than "merely to
thank the japanese for their cordial
reception of him on his last visit"
no one can doubt, and that it has
ACCOMPLISHED or will in time accom-
plish it's purpose is equally beyond
doubt, if any confidence can be put
in the words and conduct of the Jap
anese with whom he came intact
while on that visit, and We have no
reason to doubt their sincerity.
In our humble opinion Mr.. Taft
is one of the greatest men of the
day. He is a great big man-intel-
l~ectually as we'll as physically-and
we believe him to be a true man,
honest and upright. His ability, no
one can doubt, and the record Of his
private life and political career leaves
as little room for doubt Of his per-
sonal integrity and political purity
About the only fault We have to n
with him is that he is not a dem
ocrat. Were he of that political faith
what a leader of our party he would
make.

FOR OFFICIAL METER TESTER.

In the city council of Atlanta there
a been introduced an ordinance
providing for an inspector of gas and
electric meters. He is to be furnish
ed with standard test machines test
ed by the governments bureau of
standard weights and measures, and
all the electric and gas meters in the
city are to be tested by them Any
person using gas can, on complaint,
have the public inspector to test his
meter, paying a fee of one dollar
into the city treasury. If it is found
that the meter is not properly regis
tering the company supplying the
gas or electricity must put in q new
and tested meter; the complainant
is paid back his dollar and the COM
pany has to pay it. If the inspector
finds the meter all right the COM
p~lainant loses his dollar. All me-
ters must be tested every two years
n all new one must be tested be-
fore put in, the company paying the
fee for testing new meters. For the
regular BIENNIAL inspection no fee is
charged. There are a number of
other regulations, but the above are
the chief provisions of the proposed
ordinance.
This strikes us as being a good
idea. Electric and gas companies
could not complain Of such regula-
lions. They do not want pay for
more than their customers consume,
and it is well known that meters do
at times get out of order and regis
ter while gas and electricity are not
being used. The fairest way to cor
rect such matter would be to have
the question of the meters accu-
racy tested by standard instruments
in the hands of a person having no
interest with the parties on the one
side or the other.

SECRETARY OF WAR TAFT.

The Washington Star very happily
cartoons the Taft banquet in Toxic,
which it entities The Secretary of
Peace" The picture represents a
japanese banquet hall. Mr.. Taft is
on his feet making the speech which
has attracted world wide attention
and commentator. His face bears
an expression of goodwill and of
good-fellowship. He is evidently
saying something which is pleasing
to his co-banqueters, for the
~epauletted and order-bedecked Jap
anese who surround him at the Ia
BILE show signs Of hearty applause
and approval of the sentiments the
American is uttering.
In all seriousness, it cannot be
denied that Mr.. Taft's visit to Japan
just now was we'll timed and will re-
suit in great good. While there was
hardly and danger a short time
ago of war between the two coun-
tries there is no doubt that the
jingOists in both had succeeded in.
bringing about an uneasy public feel
