Would Not Be Wall Paper.

Two "dusky" bellies were heard
discussing the various functions on
their social calendars in Gates
avenue car. One was advocating Il
certain dance which promised to be
a rousing success.
"No," said the other; "you won't
catch me goin' ter any dances. All
don't care fo' dancin' mahself, and
I'm not goin' ter be the wall pa
peri"
This was the same ''high bon
lady" by the way, who had to be
severely reprimanded by her mis-
tress several times before she would
consent to stop using patent face
wash which announced on its label
that it would give any one lily
white complexion. The lily white
powdery patches on the dark back
ground of Liza's swarthy counte-
nance were too much for the COM
posure of the family while she wait
ed at table.-Brooklyn Eagle.

THE THINGS TO EAT.
Mans Ana:ony Suggests Fruit Diet
AZ the Most Suitable.

Those who do not want to rank
as extremists will do well to escheW
the glandular organs, such as
sweetbreads and liver, to pin their
faith to mutton and one or two
kinds of fish, to give up coffee and
drink weak China tea. Those who
wish to 60 further should reflect
first that man is neither carnivor-
Gus nor herhivorous. For long sci
entists have obsc2rcd the view By
useless arguments as to whether o.
not a man was meant to live like !:
COW.
There are other species than the
flesh and Grass eating animals. All
students OF comparative anatomy
know that tie teHth of human be-
ings are Identical with those of the
frugivorous apes, who live on fruits
and nuts. Not only so, but the pro-
portion of bowel length to body
length in man corresponds exactly
with that in the same species in
marked contrast to what obtains in
all carnivorous animals where the
bowel is proportionally short.
A study Of anatomy therefore
suggests fruit diet as the most
suitable. Further confirmation is
afforded by the obvious prediction
of nearly all children for such food.
The best fruits for food are apples,
bananas, grapes, nuts, dates, raisins
and figs.
Nuts are especially valuable ow-
ing to the large amount of fat they
contain. The old fashioned idea
that they are indigestible is due
partly to the error in taking them
at the end of an already more tlan
ample meat meal and partly to in
sufficient mastication. Chestnuts
are the easiest to digest and make
an excellent food. Many other
fruits may be taken, always remem-
bering that stone fruits sometimes
disagree and that acid fruits should
be taken in moderation. Strawber-
ries contain a considerable amount
of purins and should be avoided by
all with a gouty or rheumatic ten
dency. Among fruits we include
those of the cereals, such as wheat
and rice. White bread is free from
purin, but brown bread contains a
varying amount derived from the
husk. The most wholesome form
of bread is unleayened.-Lancet.

Fec and Foe.

In a suit tried in a Virginia town
o young lawyer of limited expert
ence was addressing the jury on a
point of law when, good naturedly,
he turned to the opposing counsel,
a man Of much more experience
than himself, and asked:
''That's right, l believe, Colonel
Hopkins"
Whereupon Hopkins, with a smile
of conscious superiority. replied:
"Sir, have an office in Richmond
wherein l shall be delighted to en-
Tighten You on any point of law for
a consideration"
The youthful attorney, not in the
least abashed, took from his pocket
half dollar piece, which he offered
Colonel Hopkins, with the remark:
:sNo time like the present. Take
this, sir, tell US what YOU know and
give me the change" - Harper's
Weekly.

Early Protest Against Tea.

The introduction of tea into Eu.
ropean communities met with con.
siderable protest. In Germany tea
dealers were considered immoral,
and many pamphlets were publish.
ed condemning the use of tea in
any form. Tea was first brought to
England from Holland in 1865
Soon the drinking of it became
fashionable in London, and a pound
of the leaves sold for 60 shillings,
Thomas Garway was the first deal
er in tea in England. He recon-,
mended it as a cure for all disorders
and sold great quantities of it at a
large profit. Records show that tea
has at times been sold in England
for as,much as f10 a pound.

Various How Are You's7

"How are you?" in German is
"Wie befnden sic sich?" How do
you find yourself?) 1t is also ''Wie
geht's."
The Dutch say ''Hoe vaart gij%
(How do YOU fare?) The Italians
ask, "Come state?" (How do YOU
stand? The French, Comment
vous portez-vous" (How do you
carry yourself3
The Greeks ask what you are do
ing, the Chinese want to know if
you enjoy your rice, and the Rus
slams inquire how You are living.
The Arabs, a devout people, say,
"God grant his. favors to you" The
Turks, no less devout, say, "Be un-
der Gods care"

AN EGYPTIAN MUMMY.
u Poses as a Modern Oracle In tas
British Museum.

/ British Museum.
Can an Egyptian mummy render
first class service as an oracle? Can
the spirit Of the dead return and
answer yes or no to the questions
!; ii the faithful? Some people in
London believe these things are pos
sible, and they have the mummy
right in the British museum to
prove it. A writer in the London
Mail tells all about it: "TEis
strange sibyl is the mummy of
katebet, a priestess in the temple
Amen-Ra at Thebes. 1t lies on the
+ top shelf of case P in the first
Egyptian room. 1t is one of the
most complete and interesting speci-
mems. The painted cartoonage head,
with its gilded face, is inclined to
one side, giving look of life. On
the breast is a hawk headed orna-
! ment containing a scarab, the sacred
beetle. On the wooden models Of
the hands are rings made of carne-
lian and precious stones, and an at
tempt had been made to initiate
bracelets by painting. The system
of swathing is unusual.
'1n wall case No. 10 stands Kate
bets painted wooden coffin 1t
again is singular. On the foot the
feet and sandals of the deceased are
painted in an unusual manner, and
the face is evidently intended for
likeness. The Lady Katebet died
in Thebes 2,700 years ago. The
measures taken to preserve her body
in its full beauty were evidently
carried out with more than custom
ary care and fidelity. Is it possible
in this later world of miracles in
mechanical law that a miracle OF
natural law is manifested here
that Katebet's spirit is in touch
with her body?
"The peculiarities of the num-
nv make it easier to believe, but
the way in which answers to ques-
tions are given affords common
sense mechanical explanation. The
process gone through by the various
devotees at this queer shrine is as
follows: They approach the case
with reverence and lay hand upon
it. Looking earnestly in the golden
face of the priestess, they put a
question that permits plain af-
frmative or negative reply. If the
priestess moves the answer is Yes
If she makes no sign it is No
They assert that she does nod some
times and that the advice she gives
is good.
ern. First, in the winter there is
a dynamo of great power pounding
away below to supply electric light
and heat. Second, the movement
of people in the room would be suf-
fcient to cause a vibration which
would move the case in which the
mummy lies. The museum is ey-
ccptionally well built and therefore
elastic, answering and giving easily
throughout through vibratofy mo-
tons wherever generated. If the
official opinion we're given this is
undoubtedly what it would be-"

Thursday and spent the day.
Lake City special school dis,
trict has been enlarged so as to
embrace the whole of Lake City
township, which contains twenty
square miles. This new district
being very nearly in the form OF
a square with the town near the
center, even the clildren tar

lively easy reach of the school

tends the advantages OF our
school to tue entire dis

Mr. B G Timmons and family
have moved in town from the
Cades neighborhood. Mr.. Tim
mons has bought a lot on
Blanton street and. will build
dwelling house thereon. In the
meantime a house at the corner
of Thomas and McAlister
streets is occupied.
Last April by a tremendous
majority a bond issue for the
ourpose of building a school
house was voted. A lot was
secured and there the record
ends. What is the matter!
What are the trustees doing!
These questions are being ask
ed on every side and asked
by those who have the
right to know. Nearly
a year has gone by and
nothing done, so far as Is
known. Three men were ap-
pointed trustees and accepted
the appointment. Are they
wilfully and deliberately dis
regarding their duty? If they
are not to blame for this un-
reasonable delay, they should
give the reason. If the trouble
is with one or two of the board,
that should be known, so that
the innocent, if there are any,
SHOULD escape condemnation.
Something must be done. This
thing will not be submitted to
much longer.
