A Yoqa story,

For fourteen years Bava Luchman
Dass received from the priests Of the
Black Caves Of central India the nee
essary education in order to become a
yoga, as a yoga must be capable Of
taking the forty-eight pastures Of the
Hindoo idols. Perhaps the greatest
trick consists in balancing himself on
the ends Of his fingers while the whole
OF his body is In the air. Bava stated
that in order to obtain the rank Of
yoga in the Black Caves Of India he
had to continue in this position on the
ends Of his fingers under the eyes Of
the judges. without a seconds inter
val, for seven days and nights! Strand

A RihIiophiIe's Reply.

Manden Creighton, who, was bishop
Of London, had a horror Of lending
his favorite books. s A fellow clergy
man once visited the bishop and took
a fancy to an old edition of Shake
speare. He borrowed the volume and
did not think to return it for several
months. Finally the minister returned
1t with letter, saying, my Dear
Bishop-I have great pleasure In re-
turning the volume you lent me. |"
The bishop answered, my Dear
BrotherAll the JOY is mine."

In the early days Of Pennsylvania
there was a law, as we learn from
documents in the state department,
which stated as follows: That lie any
white female Of ten years or upward
should appear in any public street,
lane, highway, church, courthouse, tav-
ern, ball, theater or any other place

MORE ABSURD LAWS.

The Manufacturers Record gives some examples of fool legislation, and attempted legislation. and some con- clusions drawn therefrom, which we think are worth copying at length. It says:
 It is reported that a law designed To ensure purity of milk in New York city is causing a ruction in nearby farming communities. There is said to be provision that milk to be consumed In the Metropolis must be extracted by persons wearing white duck overalls. IL is further said that most of the ex- traction Is done by the wives and daughters of the owners of the cows Hence the ruction.. An attempt to meet the provision would undoubtedly swell the movement to the country of amusement-se and sightseers, and would tend to revive the social reform movement of fifty or sixty years ago known as Bloomerism. Be that as 1t may, the incident suggested a moral worthy of consideration by all socio- logists. especially those with legisla- tive procliVities. For, with very very much of the sociological legislation of the day 1t is case of duck pants for individuals who would find their move ments impeded by the wearing of such garments. There, for instance Is that model child-labor law" for the Dis trict of Columbia, which Is not burden ed to any great extent with conditions that have made the evil of the employ ment of immature children possible The law was in essence sufficient to meet the demands of the most violent sociologist, and yet. according to a dispatch from Washington 1t failed to carry the provision. most essential in the eyes of the average socioloeist. for salaries for the sociologists charg- ed with enforcing the law. Another case of duck pants or oVeralls appeared in the bill introduced by a PhiladeI- phia member of the House of Repre- sentatives. It is charged that within 102 successive days he attended 1O3 banquets and wore a clean shirt at each banquet. It is not quite clear whether he was the proud possesor Of 103 separate and distinct shirts or

Town wnl Issue Bonds For Its Cem-

 Courtland, June 7--SSpecial.) )--The Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the Town of Courtland have called an eiec- ton for the first Monday in July to ascertain whether the town shall issue $5 900 in bonds for the purpose or building school.
 The town has purchased four acres of land beautifully located and If the bond issue carries. which now seems building, second to no town of its size in the State. The bonds will be issued bearing five per cent interest and pay able In i've years with the option ID the town to redeem them at any tune after the first year.
 It Is not thought that the Board will have to go outside of the town TOT a single purchaser of these bonds as they have assurances from the citizens of Courtland that every dollar or the money will be forthcoming here. as soon as the issue is ordered by the people.
 courtiand was an applicant for the Lawrence County High School. but was defeated by Moulten. and the citizens have decided to have a high school without the aid of the State and to have it running before the Mouiton school is built.
 The Trustees have made contract with Professor McCantx, of Madison County, to teach the school for the coming term. Professor McCants taught at Lower Peach Tree, wilcox County, last year, and comes highly recommended. He will employ his own assistants.

Not having kept closely up with the weather conditions over the State we were surprised to find this paragraph in The AbbevilIe News of last Friday:
 No rain yet, and this section is dry CT than we have seen it in. several years. The corn crop Is falling fast, and although prospects were flattering two weeks ago for an abundant corn harvest, the farmers will be pleased if they make corn enough to pull them through for another year. No rain of any amount has fallen about here since the first of May. and the condi- tion of crops is becoming alarming.
 As stated, we have not kept posted on the subject, but there have been so many and such general rains and storms over the country that we were not prepared to learn that portion of Alabama is suffering from severe drouth. Hope they have had a sup ply by this time.
