TONS OF SOOT.

A scientific investigator in Cin- cinnati has been trying to arrive at a definite idea of the amount of soot deposited in the city in the course of a year. One of his tests was to place two buckets, three-fourths filled with water on II roofs in diff ferent parts of the city. At the end of three months careful analv- sis of the contents of the buckets to ascertain the amount of carbo- naceous matter was made. The re- suit is that in the down town area the falling soot amounts to 541 tons month, or IS tons daily. On a square mile of the city the soot deposit is 171 tons a month, or 343,72S pounds, an average of sev- eral pounds to each inhabitant. In one of the suburbs the soot in the bucket was 464 grams to the square foot for a period of 30 days. For the same time the deposit at a cen- tral point in the city was 22,55O grams to the square foot.

IDEAL PLACE FOR CHICKENS.

The mania of city people to keep chickens as soon as they move to a suburban section, even if the neigh borhood is well built up, is aptly illustrated in a block of new houses in Mount Airy.
 With great ideas of the charac- ter of people he was going to sell his houses to, the builder provided deep back yards with wide alley in the rear. His avowed object was to enable the purchasers to erect au- tomobile houses in the yards and to run the machines in by the al- leys.
 The houses are now all occupied, and, while not a single automobile shed appears, nearly half the yards contain chicken houses and the barn. yard feature is the most conspicu- ous in the new section.-Philadel- phia Record.

RENEWALS OF LICENSES,
Interpretation of the Law Given Out \
 Superintendent Doyne.

Superintendent of Public Instruc. ton ]. J. Doyne has given out ths | following interpretation of the law governing the renewal of teachers license, which is approved by At. torney General Robt. l.. Rogers:
 I. A license out of date canno, be renewed.
 ?. A third grade license can be renewed but once.
 5. A second grade license can be renewed but twice.
 4. No limit as to the renewel M first grade license.
 <. Renewals can be made onlv at the close of the June institutes
 6. Teachers must have attend. ed the institute in the county in which application for renewal is made.
 7. Exceptions may be made in favor of teachers who attend a Peabody institute or summer normal elswhere, provided applica. ton for renewal is made immedi. ately after the close of such insti. tute or normal.
 &. Holders of state or profes. sional license are required to at. tend the county institutes for five consecutive years, as shown by the endorsment of the county ex. aminer, in order that their licen. ses may continue in force.
 Q. The same rule applies to holders of diplomas from the nor. nal department of the state uni versity, if such diplomas are being used in lieu of professional licens es.
 10. The law does not recog nize the right to issue permits to teach.
 Note. As a matter of courtesy and convenience to the teacher, i is so many times the case that al applicant is allowed to stand tn regular examination in one count. and not have the papers sent 10 grading to the examiner in tn ] county in which the teacher de sires license, the fee to be paid il the county in which the license issued. This is, however, a mat ter that rests entirely with the ex aminer'S s concerned.

 Now the above time is schedule time as laid down by the postothce department, and not guess time, and anybody can see the new change is an improvement and not a disadvantage. The patrons ot routes and 5 could petition the department for service from Beryl and get the same service as route I from Beryl will get and not affect the postoffice at Vilonia. It IS the intention of the postoffice depart ment to give service to the patrons of the routes that is best and not to give bad service to accommodate a postmaster to the revenue at some particular point.

RELIC OF OLD ROME.

Near the Lucrine lake, to the north of Baiae, Italy, where the vil- las of Romans of imperial times crowded each other to the waters edge, and where, in consequence, to this day the ground is full of arch geological treasures, very fine mo- saic has just been discovered. In form it is a parallelogram, measur- ing about five and a half yards by nearly ten yards. The piece repre- sents hunting scene in which there are many wild beasts and sev- eral hunters, the favorite subject for large mosaics in those days. It has been bought for 1,500 by the ministry of public works for the decoration of the great monument of Victor Emmanuel in Rome, which is slowly taking form, and will eventually dominate all old Rome.

HAS NO ROOM FOR MONEY.

President Stillman of the Ma tional City bank of New York was born in Texas, but is clean cut Yankee from Connecticut. AS president of the National City bank he is almost as powerful as the Rothschilds are in Europe.
 Said one of his intimates recent ly: "There are no fireworks about Jim-just plain ordinary get there. And he carries the queerest lot Of truck in his pockets. One day some of us made him turn out his collection.
 "He had a couple of penknives, a buckeye, shoe buttoner, rab- bit foot, two or three rubber bands, a silver pencil, a bunch of keys, a cigar puncher, a gold watch, a leather washer, a corkscrew, a seal, a memorandum book, an elevated railroad ticket, some theater passes, three safety pins, box of matches, and a newspaper clipping"

FOR THE HEADACHE SUFFERER.
sIeepino with His Head High Win
 Frequently Bring Relief.

'Tt is so strange, doctor" com plained a woman patient, recently, "that when I have had perfectly good nights sleep I should so often wake up with headache"
 "How many pillows do you have under your head?' asked the physl- clan.
 "One thin pillow" was the an- swer.
 "Try two fairly thick ones," the doctor advised, adding that many congestive headaches were caused by people sleeping with their heads too low. The blood settles in the head and the sufferer wakes with a dull feeling or throbbing pain. Persons subject to catarrhal headache should be careful to have their heads high enough at night.
 In cases of headache or facial neuralgia where mustard would be perhaps too severe, a mixture o1 white of egg and red pepper may be safely used. It will be found quite as effective as the mustard, but il will not blister nor leave unsightly red blotches even on tender skin It can be safely applied at the base of the brain for that 'headache i1 the back of the neck" which begins to be complained of at about the time when the storm and stress o1 the holidays have exhausted the nerv' ous energy.-Harper's Bazar.

Obituary.

On the morning of January I3, 1907, death settled upon the form of Joe Stivers, aged 55. The strug- gle between life and death had been hard fought for several weeks, but pain had wrapped-its mantle about his brow and suffering had woven itself into his very existence. All that mortal hands could render was willingly done for his re- covery, but for some purpose un- known to us, God in His wisdom has borne the priceless gem from life's rugged road to house not made with hands.
 As we stood around the grave of the noble one and watched all tn at was mortal lowered into mother earth and heard the broken-hearted cry of the good mother and chil- dren, something seemed to say, gone, but not forever, for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" The de- ceased leaves a wife and eight children which are loved by all.

Obituary.

On the night of December 28 at Q o'clock the death angel visited the home of Bro. w. C. Kelley and claimed for its victim, Sister Kelley. She was 36 years and 5 months old and had been a member of the Baptist church for long time. She leaves husband, five children, father, four brothers, two sisters and a large circle of friends to mourn her death. In Sister Kel- ley's death the church has lost one of its best members and the com munity one of its best citizens. She was always ready to help dc good.
 Her days were few on earth to dwell
 Among the flowers of the lonely dell
 Iris sweet to know that she did rise
 To join the Angels in the skies.
 Dear family, thus you all did grieve
 When this one went to leave,
 But try and meet her on the shore
 Where grief and sorrow comes no more.
 Her tongue no more shall speak
 Her heart no more shall beat,
 But in the paths her feet have trod
 Are the paths that lead up to God
 Written by her church clerk,

THAT BRASS IDOL INDUSTRY.
Birmingham Finds Their Manu'ac'o''
 Is No Longer Lucrative.

The interesting details of the slumn in brass idols at Birmingham make it plain that here once more the British manufacturer has gone down before the conquering Amer ican, says the London Daily News. The manufacturers say that there nsed to be a trade in idols, but that competition has "killed the in- dustry in Birmingham" "We make brass images" said one of the idol founders of the city, "and really they are so beautiful that l don. wonder the heathen falls down and worships them" .,,
 A curio dealer who stocks idols said that idols are still made in Birmingham. There was a certain demand for them, but 1t was . small one. They were made TOT curio dealers and were sold by them, not to the heather, but to Christians interested in missionary work, who liked to have on their mantel pieces "real0 heathen idol. Years ago brass images were freely made for foreign agents, and, Bishop Thorn ton notwithstanding, l fear they would be made to-day if an order came for a supply of them.
