jackson. Miss. September 6.-The |
next house OF representatives OF the |
Mississippi legislature will be numer-
icalIy larger than any previous meet |
ing Of that august body. This comes
about because OF the creation OF four
new counties since the constitution Of
1899 was adopted. The constitution
provided that the number of represent
atfves in the house should not exceed
| 1873, and these were then apportioned
by the constitution among the existing
counties. 1t was provided, however,
that in case Of the creation of new
counties by the legislature, such new
counties should have one representa-
tive until such time as a new appor-
! tionment Of the state should be pro-
vided for. Since the constitution was
adopted there have been four new
counties created. as follows: Pearl
River, Lamar, Jef Davis and Forrest
Giving each Of these its one represent
alive swells the total membership Of
the house to 1877 members. The last
house had 134 members, Pearl River
4 County having been created This
sort OF representation will hardly sat
isfy the new counties, however, and
they will no doubt join heartily in
the proposed movement to secure a
reapportionment of the state. The
question Of reapportionment came up
in the last legislature, but 1t was not
J, brought up until late in the session
at the time both houses were working
g might and main to get the code com
pleted and wind up the session. An
, amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for the reapportionment was In
troduced but was given no attention,
the members being tired out and anx.
ious to get to their homes. Then, too,
there was strong sentiment among
some members to have new constitu-
tional convention and they preferred
to let the proposed amendment die in
! order to enlist its friends in the con
! vention movement.
The question of new apportion
ment was a prominent issue in the
race for governor and all of the candi
dates were committed to it. But the
! convention plan did not appeal tt
many sections of the state. All agreed

There seems to be more public cur
iosity respecting zinc than any other
metal, writes Wiasenfuer Allie This
is due probably to the fact that other
metals come more into the daily life
and are. therefore, better understood.
The increase in its use is very great
in most nations of the globe. AS an
article Of commerce zinc is known as
spelter Several of the compounds Of
zinc make active medicines, although
in its pure metallic state it produces
no effect on the human economy. 1t
is used extensively for engraving
plates, for galvanic batteries. for roof
ing and for coating telegram and 9TH
er wires. AS zinc has "A low point Of
melting and molds desirably with
sharp impressions, It is used a great
deal in casting works of various kinds.
such as statues, statuettes and orna-
mental designs. One of the most i'm
portant uses to which zinc is put is
the coating of other metals to protect
them from the elements. The film
Of oxide which coats the zinc when ex-
posed to moisture prevents the rust
from penetrating the metal aud fur
ther oxidation becomes impossible.

Nation Plate Rail ls Effective Form Of
Decoration.


Nothing adds 50 much to the appear
ance Of a dining room as a rail up
near the top on which is displayed odd
bits Of china, cut or fancy glass. or
pewter
These plate rails may be made very
decorative or they can be absolutely
hideous. A tumble Of color, for in
stance, is downright ugly. or, rail
fun of china that does not harmonize
with the tone Of the room, though the
separate pieces may not clash.
This defect can be overcome this
season by choosing for your decora-
ton a nation plate rail. 1t viii be both
artistic and inexpensive, or. at least.
comparatively so, as the separate
plates can be bought for 50 cents and
less.
Each plate has the coat of arms Of
a different nation Of the world, as
nearly as possible in the natural col
ors.
There are, Of course, liberties taken
with them for artistic effect. but the
chief color Of the frieze is in these
emblems.
The whole thing is given a touch Of
harmony by the border which is alike
on all the plates 1t is two tones of
olive green Frightened by dashes of
red at regular intervals.
This treatment of plate rail would
be specially good for yellow room or
one in dull gray blue, as there is
enough red and bright green in the
coats Of arms to give warmth.

not consist merely of a house. The

This is an economical way to build
a medium sized house, because you
get the roof space for the. upper
rooms, space that is very often just
thrown away on an attic. The upper
bedrooms fit into the gables and the
clothes closets fit In between the
bedrooms and the lower part Of the
roof SO there is no waste space at
all and you get square ceilings, too,
or nearly So
1t depends a good deal on climate
whether you want house built like
this. or whether you want to elevate
the roof clear above the upper rooms.
In some hot valleys where the sun
seems to beat down a little hotter
each day during the summer higher
roof might be an advantage, but on
the northern hills where few really
hot days are known and where the
nights are usually cool, this style Of
house is just about as comfortable
as any in the summer time and it is
a great deal warmer and more cozy
in winter. The northern climate seems
to have a good deal more winter than
summer, in fact good many of the
northern states get six or seven
months winter and the balance of the
year is divided up between cloudy
days and cool weather
