CRACK NUT SUNDAY.
Queer Method Of Hearing a Sermon
Still In Use In England.

zone fine autumn Sunday attended
a service in a north of England coun-
try church that would have driven a
New York preacher clean crazy" said
the man who travels. 1.-THE congrega-
ton didn't do thing but sit around
and crack nuts. Fancy New York
minister talking to crowd of that
kind! The modern preacher likes to
have things quiet when he talks. 1t
disconcerts him to hear baby cry or
woman cough or an old man snore.
If he is put out by such trifes as these,
it is interesting to conjecture what he
would do If he were to take hold of a
congregation where everybody brought
nuts to crack during the sermon.
'Worshipers, it seems, used to do
this in England and even in our own
states during colonial days. This dis
turbance was not weekly occurrence
by any means. If it had been, the
Door preacher would have undoubted-
~ left his flock to administer spiritnt
consolation to suit themselves. But as
It happened only once year he was
forced to endure it. This one day
which was attended by such remarka-
BILE license came the Sunday before
Michaelmas day and was called crack
nut Sunday Nobody, no matter how
pious he might be, hesitated to avail
himself of the peculiar privilege grant
ed him, and men, women and children
came to church with their pockets
stuffed with nuts, which they compla-
Gently cracked and munched during
the sermon.
at was that kind Of sermon that
so impressed me with its oddly. 1t
can be easily imagined that when for
ty or fifty people get to cracking nuts
with all their might the noise Is apt to
be something terrific, and many times
the minister was hard put to it to
hear himself think That custom,
from being regarded with high favor
for many years, finally came to be
looked upon as nuisance, and the
habit was suppressed, except in few
remote localities, although the act OF
suppression was attended with consid-
cradle difficulty, so firmly had the nut
cracking fever taken hold of the fancy
of the people."-New York Press.

TALLAHASSEE--Capt. w. H.
Bowling was tried and acquitted
Thursday on charge of assaulting
DR.. Gum, a colored physician of this
place. On the 18th of March DIR.
Gum attempted to ride in the car
for whites on the train on which
Capt. Bowling was conductor. Capt.
Bowling requested him to go into the
car for colored people, stating that it
was against the law for negroes to
occupy the car for whites. DR.. Gum
refused to leave the car, and told the
conductor to arrest him. Capt.
Bowling told him that he would not
arrest him, but would put him off
the car. This he did and in the ex-
citement it is alleged, passenger,
thinking Gum was about to draw a
gun, struck him several blows,
Knocking him down. Capt. Bowling
was arrested on warrant sworn out
by Gum charging him with having
assaulted him with deadly weapons,
namely brass-knucks and a pistol.

'tTle Photographic process devised by
Duguerre WAS substantially as follows;
A sheet of planish copper, plated will
silver and wel cleaned by treating
with diluted nitric acid and washing
with water. was exposed to the action
of the vapors of iodine. By this expo
sure a thin film of iodide Of silver was
formed on the surface, certain mechan-
lcal precautions being taken to insure
that 1t should be uniform in all parts.
The sheet thus prepared was then plac-
ed In camera substantially the same
in principle as the Photographic cam
era in use today and was exposed to
the object for from eight to ten min
utes. The plate was then covered and
removed from the camera to a dark
room, where 1t was exposed to the &C
ton Of the vapor of mercury, aided by
the application of gentle heat, by
which the image was developed. 1t
was then fixed by immersion in solu-
ton of hyposulphite Of soda, which dis
solved out all the unchanged silver
iodlde. Washing with water followed,
and the finished picture was protected
by a cover Of glass and suitably in
closed in a frame, one that could be
closed, to protect It from fading under
the action Of the sunlight.

Slugs on Cotton
chronological Glenn W. Herrick,
Agricultural College, Miss.

l have received letters from
different individual farmers, in
which they complain of some
bug" or animal that is eating
up their cotton. Finally one Of
our correspondents from Attala
county sent Us some Of the
bugs" that we're causing the
trouble, and to my surprise they
were not insects At all, but com.
mon everyday slugs-that is,
snails that have no shells. No
doubt everyone is familiar with
these dark brown, almost black
slugs that r seen crawling
about damp mornings. They
have two little projections or
''horns" on the head. and are
soft and Shiny, about one inch
long, sometimes a little longer.
They love moist, damp weather
and hide away during the day
beneath stones, sticks aud
boards, where it is cool and
damp. They become active at
night and do their feeding at
that time. Tbs is because they
cannot stand the dry heat OF the
sun, for their bodies soon shriv.
el when exposed to drying CON-.
ditions and they die.
Probably the late, cool, and
moist spring weather accounts
for the great abundance OF these
animals. AZ soon a. the wealth
er clears, if it does, and the sun
comes out to dry things off, the
slugs will probably disappear
and quit their depreciation on
cotton.
Probably most people have
often noticed white shining
streaks running along the bare
ground and perhaps some have
traced these strcaks to End that
they finally ascended tree or
became lost altogether. AT any
rate it is interesting to know
that these white shining streaks
over the bare ground are made
by slugs. They have spinning
organs in the body, and 4
spin out silk like a spider.
Their bodies arc soft and ten
! der, and whenever they come to
4 bare spot on the ground where
the pebbles and bits OF dirt irri-
tate their soft skins, they spin
out a band OF shining silk TO
form a smooth, pleasant path.
Moreover, these very bands Of
silk often become death traps of
