News
Work for the Legislature,

From recent utterances Of Hon. E.
+. Noel, the next governor Of Missis-
sippi, from expressions from nominees
for the legislature, and from discus
sions in the press, among the important
matters to which the next legislature
will give earnest and thoughtful atten-
ton will be: An elective judiciary
amendment to the constitution; a reap.
p%ortionment of representation in the
legislature; a more equitable distribu-
ton of the common school fund; statu-
tory prohibition; constitutional prOhi.
bition: to establish a teachers training
school; to establish a home for INDECENT
old women; to fix a 2-cent railroad pas
Senger rate; to require corporations to
pay a more equitable proportion OF the
States taxes; to strengthen the laws
governing certain public service cor
porations. 1t is probable that a vigor-
Gus effort will be made to call a con
vention for the purpose of framing a
new constitution.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.

my little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body. and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end Of about a year and a half of suf-
fering he grew SO bad 1 had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. l

Of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. l used

QUALITIES OF WIT AND HUMoR.
Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundament-
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyZe them,
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points. however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
l~ectual, humor an emotional, quality:
that wit is a perception of resem-
blance, and humor a perception Of
contrast, of discrepancy, of %incongru-
ity. The incongruity is hat which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps it might be added that it is al
ways or almost always a moral in
congruity. In the case both Of wit
and humor there is also a pleasurable
surprise, a gentle shock, which &C.
companies our perception of the hith-
erto unsupported resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was ono describing in the pres
ence Of a very humane person the
great age and debility of a horse that
he formerly owned and used. you

THE ks IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.

She was a Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
"The kiss" she said, blushing faint
ly, was unknown in Japan so years
ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
yet it comes as a great shock at
first. 1t is so different, you know,
from anything in a Japanese girls eX-
p~erience. / have known maidens who
tainted at a first kiss that was per-
haps too warmly rendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent
advocates of the new western en-
brace.
Frankly, l like the kiss myself. It's
stimulus, and the feeling, as of red
satin, when mouth touches mouth
with a warm, soft shock-yes, frank
ly, / like the kiss, and l find it ex-
tremely difficult to deny an eager
young man SO innocent and SO delight
lightful an embrace.

GIVING HIM A CHANCE.
Surely Time for Hubby to Do a Live
ly Sidestep.

Mrs. Wilson's husband was often
obliged to go to New York on bust
ness, and frequently did not reach his
home until the arrival of the midnight
train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the
habit of sleeping peacefully at these
times without fear, but a number of
.burglaries in the neigbborhood during
one Of her husbands trips to New
York had disturbed her calm.
On the night of his return Mr.. Will
son was stealing carefully up the
front stairs, as was his wont on such
occasions, so that his wife would not
be wakened, when he heard her voice,
high and strained:
Il don't know whether you are my
husband or a burglar" came the ex-
cited tones, "but l am going to be on
the safe side and shoot, SO if you are
Henry you'd better get out Of the
way."-Youth's Companion.

The Weevil II Here.

Announcement is made that the boil
weevil has crossed the Mississippi and
actually invaded the cotton fields OF
this State. The announcement, al
though made by an expert of the gov
eminent in such a way as to leave no
doubt as to the diagnosis, has not
created the excitement it might have
been expected to create. This may be
due in a measure to the fact that the
people have been expecting the insect
to make its appearance and were pre-
pared for the announcement.
