The Mineral Jade.

Most people have probably seen Jade
ornaments without having n very clear
Idea of the material of which such
things are composed. Jade is an ex.
ceedingly tough but beautiful mineral
much of which is found in China. 1t is
Of five colors, the most highly prized
Jade being the white, yellow and green
varieties. The rarest of all Is red jade
but this is so scarce that it has no place
In market valuations. The mineral Is
frequently found in the beds of streams
and in searching for 1t Mohammedans
are generally employed, as 1t Is be
lieved that people of this faith are sen
sitlve to its presence, and, like the
dowsers or water finders, are affected
with shuddering fits when passing over
a place where jade is to be found.

Animals Clever With Their Feet.

Goats are the most sure footed Of our
native animals. They can walk up.
right where the average human being
would not crawl. Horses are the dain.
tiest treaders, however, though they
cannot climb. No horse will step on
man If it can possibly help it. II
is standing rule in cavalry regiments
that II trooper is dismounted he must
remain perfectly still, when the whole
column passes over him without injur
ing him. Camels are careless, on the
other hand, and the man who came
out unharmed from under the feet OF
a camel corps was not born to be rur
over by any beast or vehicle.

FUTURE DEALING.

The British government is taking
considerable interest in legislation en-
acted in this country on the subject
of future" dealing. Secretary of
State Power received a letter from
the British consulate in New Orleans
in which it is stated that the British
ambassador at Washington has IL
structed the consul at New Orleans
to supply him with copies of all laws
enacted in Louisiana and Mississippi
on the subject of future dealing. The
request is made that Secretary Power
furnish the consul with three copies
of the Mississippi laws.
The law in this State prohibits
dealing in such contracts where the
actual delivery and acceptance of the
commodity itself is not intended, and
provided that such contracts not only
shall not be enforceable in any court,
but that the person buying such fn-
lures, or his wife or, children, may
sue for and recover any money so lost
The transaction is also made a misde-
meanor, punishable by both fine and
Imprisonment, and it is also provided
that it shall be a ground for attach
ment against any debtor who has
within six months before suit is
brought bought futures.

e Sunday was aegreat day for th,
Gates rivival forces. The train
brought to the city many rhurci
workers from surrounding towns witt
rhave been awakened to religious zeal
and enthusiasm by reports of the phe-
|nomenal success of the revival, and
Ithere were hundredsSof visitors from
touchdown points tp attend the az
|ternoon and might services.
The length Of the revival remains
|indeterminate. 1t may be brought to
a close within a few days, or may
continue month, all depending on
the future measure Of success. Con-
verts are being added to the list in
the evangelist's Life Book at the rate
of from fifty to seventy per day, and
Mr.. Gates declines to venture any ex.
preston or opinion as to how long he
will labor in jackson. He has stirred
the community to its depths, and
while substantial results are being
achieved, and he is able to bear Che
physical strain, it is unlikely that
the revival will be brought to close.
Public interest is so intense that
the Coliseum commences to fill an
hour or more before each service, and
only the early corners are able to
get good seats at the Sunday services.
The business men of the city are still
closing their stores and offices during
the forenoon worship hours.

Many Applicants.

It is probable that when the Special
Committee of the Episcopal Church
Council which has in charge the mat
ter of preparatory steps towards the
requirement of the Diocesan School,
closes the period during which propo-
sitions from communities may be re-
ceived, that they will have applica-
tions from quite number of Missis-
sippi towns. Among those who have
taken the matter up through. their
commercial organizations 7or4 where
the subject is being urged before
the people, are Vicksburg, West
Point, Winona, Hattiesburg, ,Gulfport,
Meridian, jackson, and perhaps oth-
ers, in "a more or less tentative way.
West Point is making a great effort
and it is understood her citizens have
already decided to offer grounds and
buildings, together with a $4,000 cash
contribution that will be worth at
least $4,000, while there are other
towns that are ready to make equally
liberal offers, and the competition
is expected to be keen, and the num-
Der of offers sufficiently varied as
to furnish the committee plenty Of
scope in casting about for final Sc.
lection.

HATT1EsBURG cHAUTAUoUA.

Prof. Thames and Prof. Todd, of
the South Mississippi College at Hat
tiesburg, who have been giving much
attention of late to the arranging of
the details for the chautauqua, which
is to be held at Hattiesburg this sum-
mer under their management, have
progressed so far in the formation
of their programs that they are able
to give to the daily press a complete
calendar of the events that will fill
up the twelve days of high class en-
tertainment.
The chautauqua will run from July
IL to July %. The assembly place
will be at a central location up town,
and in the absence of any building
suitable for the purpose, it is prob
able that large tent will be used for
the initial chautauqua The pro-
moters of the affair are ambitious
and progressive, and they hope when
the next season shall roll around to
have an immense auditorium of their
own.

Arrests His Mother.

Fremont, Nebraska.-To make
sure his wedding to Miss Eva Belle
Hainer would not be interrupted and
scene created, Winfield S. Uhlers,
a young society and bushes man,
caused the arrest of his mother, Mrs.
Idella S. Uhlers, on an insanity
charge.
Uhlers is not yet of age, but he had
obtained the consent of both his moth
er and his father, the parents having
been divorced some time ago. Not
only had his mother acquiesced In his
marriage, but she had sent the young
pair a wedding present. Yesterday
morning she went to the Hainer home,
which had been decorated for the COM
ing event, demanded the present and
raised such storm of protest thst
the son had her arrested.
The wedding went went through
without interruption, and when the
insanity suit against Mrs. Uhlers is
heard there will be no prosecution.

Large immigration.

Ottawa, Quebec.-Dominion gov
eminent reports published today show
that immigration from the United
States to Canada is still heavy, but
not SO heavy as a year ago. In April
the official figures of which are to
hand, the influx of people into Cana
da was 44,051, as compared with
1898 in April last year. The immi-
grafton from the United States shows
a falling off of 2,742, the figures be-
ing 9,613 for April of this year and
1886 for April, 1906. For the ten
months ended April 80 the total immi-
grafton was 1878 as against 124,-
OBJ for the same period Of last year
an increase Of 1857.
For the calendar year 1905 the nun
Der of newcomers who took the oath
of allegiance was 6,632. Last year the
total number of new citizens wa;
10,242. These included subjects CT
practically every monarch under The
sun. No less than 1888 Of the new
arrivals from the United States took
the oath Of allegiance just soon as the
law allowed, being an increase Of COZ
over the previous year.

Bankers Complain.

One cf the most important case:
yet filed with the interstate commerce
commission under the new railroad
rate law was presented today by the
American Bankers Association.
In brief the complaint alleges thai
the express companies of the United
States, through the power and facil
tiles as common carrier are usurpine
the preorgatives of the banking asso
citation and at the same time are us
ing the capital of the banks of The
country in the conduct of their bust
ness. 1t is alleged that the opera
tions of the express companies in the
conduct Of their exchange business i.
seriously detrimental TO the interest,
of the banks and that the use of the
interstate facilities and the relations
which the express companies have
with the railroads, enable the COM
panies seriously to discriminate
against regular commercial operations
Of the banking institutions.

included in the complaint.

throp. The facts in the recent fsti-
cuffs between w. P. Rider, of Mary
land, and III. D. Woodson, a negro
from South Carolina, recently sent

Service Commission, were laid before
his superior by Supervising Architect

1t is the opinion of high officials
that the appointment of another ne

a majority of the white draughtsmen

scALY LEG IN POULTRY.

The appearance of a flock of poul-
try is frequently married by rough,
scaly formation which covers the
shank. The formation is caused by
a parasite. This does not seem to
interfere with the laying of the hens
or to cause them serious inconve-
nience. However, it is unsightly,
and certainly does no good, and for
tunately it is not very difficult to get
rid of. Coal oil, which so frequently
serves the poultryman's purpose, is
the specific in this case. The scale
can be most quickly removed by i'm
mersing the entire shank in coal
oil. This is, however, rather severe
on the fowl as the oil will blister.
Therefore we should recommend
slower but milder method of treat
nent. This consists in greasing the
;hanks several times with a mixture
Of lard and coal oil. We advise poul-
trymen whose focks are affected this
way to try the remedy.-B. NJ. d.

Many Protest.

It is evident that should the move
ment be successful which has been
in progress for some time to secure
a pardon for Mrs. Angie Birdsong,
the slayer of DR. Thomas Butler, at
Monticello, who stands convicted and
under sentence to serve a fiye-year
term in the penitentiary, it will be
so over very determined and active
opposition. As indicated previously,
this opposition has been generated in
Lawrence county, the home of DR..
Butler, whose friends and relatives
are determined to keep up the fight
on Mrs. Birdsong to the drop of the
flag, after every recourse for clemency
has been resorted to, and it is ex-
pected that strong fight will be
made before the governor next Mon
day afternoon, at which time the ex-
ecutive has stated to Zoe Dale and
others that he will hear their presens
tation of facts.

Several years after tie death of the
