michael of colbert for the establish | rnent lof dispensary in Colbert county mittes of the House decided to recon. mend It's passage.
 The biii was considered previously | to the continuance of the hearing on I the general bill for local option pro posed by Mir. Lovelady of Jefferson. It | was spoken upon at some length by its | author and by Judge l. H. Nathan, I. F. Johnson. Dr. B. c. Ashe, and C. E.. ! Hogue, citizens of Sheffield, who op- posed the passage of the bill. The discussion was opened and clos ed by Mir. Carmichael He explained the bill was fashioned after the Walk CT and Tuscaloosa County bills. He had made the race for his place in the Legislature upon the dispensary issue the establishment of a dispensary; all the county officers in Colbert except one, desired a dispensary.

 He claimed the bill contained fea- lures repulsive to Democratic princi- ples. Shefteld. he said, was a manu- facturing town and paid over sixty per cent of the gross income of Colbert County. He held the establishment of a dispensary would be unfair to Shef- field.
 Four out of five of the qualified electors of Sheffield he said. had opposed the establishment of a dispensary. The measure should not be forced upon the city.
 qufres the dispenser to keep lists of pa- trols of the dispensary. Judge Nathan asked,
 "Aih't that horribie?" and joined in the laughter.
 T. F. Johnson, owner of a rolling mill in Sheffield. said he thought the abolition of saloons would harm Shef- field. He said the establishment of a dispensary would result in the estab- lishment of blind tigers. and place the liquor traffic in the hands of unprin- cipled men.
 Dr. c. B. Ashe of Sheffield, said the establishment of a dispensary in Shelf field would ruin the city. The town would curb its progress and check in vestment. Mr. Carmichael he said, had been elected on his personality. not on dissensary issue. c. F. Hogue of Sheffield, read to the committee statistics upon the compara- tive revenues of Sheffield and of Col bert County.
 MT Carmichael closed the debate. He said that he ran on the disPensary issue and was elected on it, He de- clared dispensary. could be establish k ed in Sheffield, andSit would not ruin the town.

 A woman living in Maidstone, Eng land. says
 For months I suffered severely with pains in my chest and arms as well as round the back of my waist. and all ways felt tired and lackadaisical, so that the slightest exertion was an et- fort.

There are a host of petty ailments which are the direct result of the weather.
 This Is more true of the excessive heat of summer and the intense cold of winter, but is partly true of all seasons of the year.
 Whether it be a cold or a cough, ca tarrh of the head or bowel complaint, whether the liver Is affected or the kid neys. the cause Is very liable to be the same.
 The weather slightly deranges the mucous membranes of the organs and the result Is some functional disease. Peruna has become q standby in thousands of homes for minor ailments of this sort.

One Divided hx Nauaht

Four men sitting tagether-were con fding to one another their general ig- norance of the matter contained in text books. One said he had studied algebra for three years, but he would find 1t impossible to solve the simplest problem by an algebraic process. An other said he had been counted a good student in geology. and yet be doubted if he could name the principal periods in their proper order.
 "Now, let's see how much you do know" said one of the men. How much is one divided by naught or nothing?"
 "one divided by nothingY' repeated the man at his right "Why, that's one. If one isn't divided by anything, 1t remains one"

 ''They informed me that the compass was not working properly. and they had not the remotest idea of their bear ings. The only course was to again get into communication with the Ex. press. but where was shel
 A few minutes afterward the fog lifted. and we saw our little steamer a mile away. Mir. Wellman told me that the ship had made two complete turns against the wind. Again the fog closed in. the Express vanished from our view. the wind again freshened. our ship blew round, and we were utterly ignorant as to our course.
 We realized that we and the ship were In imminent danger We knew that we were surrounded by high mountains hidden in the mist and that we were drifting rapidly on to gla- cier. Our motors were instantly stop ped, our anchor was let go, and We prepared to make a landing.
 ''The emergency valve was opened. and the balloon began to settle. Twice we touched the glacier slightly, with no other shock than q gentle rebound. Meanwhile the cutting knife was un- lashed and run up to the side of the balloon.
 AS the America approached the gla- cier for the third time the incision de- fating the balloon was made With a mighty roar the gas escaped. while the envelope fell gracefully and clear of the airship itself. leaving the three of us standing on her deck. An examina- ton of the charts led US to believe that we were in the neighborhocd Of Foul bay, and our instruments indicated that we had been in the air two and a quarter hours. The storm abated, and the Express steamed up to the face of the glacier.

Eels.

The eels form the suborder of the apoda. CT footless fish. so called from the absence of yentrai fins. These fish assume form very similar to the ser pents. Although on hasty examination they seem to be devoid of scales. yet when the skin is dried very minute scales may be seen through the semi transparent outer skin and may be easily detached by carefully separating the two skins. EeIs fnhabit muddy ponds and rivers and are common in many canals. They are susceptible to cold and constantly descend the rivers to deposit their spawn in the sea, after which the young when matched work their way up the rivers thereby precisely reversing the habits of the 5alnon. They are capable of living out of water for long time and often make voluntary land excursions. either for the purpose of avoiding, an insur- mountable fall or in searcA of frogs or TT TIs, WnICu Iuey reeu. n Ine winter V inter. 1 ihiie they are tying torpid in the mud, multitudes are taken by eel spears-uany pronged instruments. whose prongs are feathered with re- curved barbs, which, when pushed into the mud, entangle the eels and effectually prevent their escape.

The most curious European oath is administered in Norway. The witness raises his thumb. his foreinger and his middle finger. These signify the Tr4n- tty. while the larger of the upltfted fingers Is supposed to represent the soul of the witness and the smaller to indicate his body Before the oath Is taken a long exhortation is delivered the most material parts of which are as follows: "Whatever person is So ungodiy. corrupt or hostile to himself as to swear 8 false oath or not to keep the oath sworn sins ip such manner as if he were to say: If l swear falsely. then may God the Father.
