A new oil-making nut has been dis

German Sweetbreads.

Cut the sw%eetbreads into dice and
boil them in a sauce made of a table
spoon -four and n of butter, moist
ened with the water in which the meat
was first parboiled. Cook together
until thick; add a few drops lemon
juice, and just before serving. stir in
a well-beaten egg, adding a little wa
ter to prevent curdling.
Variety in omelet is afforded by the
addition of cheese, pepper, mushrooms,
chopped meats, etc., to the eggs before
the last folding" This is a good way
to dispose of the left-overs from
dinner.

Idle and inconsiderate persons take
pleasure in putting freak addresses
on letters, to test the ingenuity of the
clerks in deciphering puzzles. The
British postmaster general has very
properly given orders that government
employees must not hereafter waste
their time, which is public money, in
trying to decipher intentional cryptic
grams.

He Would Talk.

roared the excited man in the tele-

And from the other end OF the wire
came this:
IL don't care, l will talk"
Get off the wire!" shouted the
other, beside himself. You don't want
to talk with me-"
But it was no use.
I've paid ten cents to talk" came
the answer, land I'm going to do It."
And talk he did, busy wire or not.

The fact that the street railways of

Az to County Printing.

As to County Printing.
In response to an inquiry from j. l..
Boyd, president of the board of super
visors of Tate county, Attorney-Gen-
eral Fletcher has just rendered an
opinion which settles a question affect
ing many counties in the state. In
substance the query Is as to whether a
member of a county board of election
commissioners who happens to be a job
printer can take unto himself the au-
thority to print the official ballots for a
regular election, and again, whether
this printing must go to the county
printer-the nan holding the contract
for supplying the county with station
cry. The effect of the opinion is that
this particular work is not necessarily
included in the work to be done by the
county printer, but that under no cir
cumstances can q member of the com
mission take the contract and do the
work himself without violating both
the letter and spirit of the law.

Surveys Of Drainage Districts.

The work Iof making typographical
surveys of the recently organized drain
age districts in the delta is making good
Roadway, under the joint direction OF
the Mississippi geological commission
and the United States geological COM
mission. The four districts thus far
organized contemplate an expenditure
Of fully $4,000, 900 on drainage and
reclamation work within the next two
years.
The principal enterprise is that OF the
Tallahatchie drainage commission, en-
bracing eight of the counties in the
northern section Of the delta, and
through which it is expected that 50O.-
600 acres of swamp and overlooked
lands will be reclaimed. The survey
work is in charge Of Van II. Manning,
chief OF the typographical department
of the United States geological survey.
The government topographers have
been at work in the delta since last
June, and about $50, 900 has been ex-
pended on survey work.

Cotton Seed Market.

The cotton seed market in Mississippi
is showing ONE signs of weakening,
according to managers of local mills,
it will not be surprising if there is a
drop in price. Local mills are now
paying $l4 per ton for seed, +. o. b.. at
stations, and if there is a crop shortage
in this territory it is not evidenced by
the seed market, for offerings have
been much larger in volume than for
the same period last year.

Suicide Clause Set Aside.

The supreme court put a spoke in
the wheel of the so-called suicide
clause" in life insurance policies in de-
Gliding the case OF the Home Life In
surance company VS.. Mrs. Laura Hyde,
in favor of the appellee. Justice
Mayes, in passing on the case, briefly
stated that there was no reversible
error, the gist of the case being that a
son of the appellee had taken out a
policy for $4,000, and that within the
year, Notwithstanding the saving clause
contained in the policy, he had COM
mitted suicide, and the settlement was
contested on that ground. The jury
had properly found for the plaintiff
below, and in the opinion of the court
the finding was right, which meant an
affirmance.

Cotton BUYERS Tax.

State Auditor Smith has felt called
upon to remind the various state and
county collectors Of the provisions of
the law regarding the collection OF priv
ilege tax on cotton buyers. cotton seed
buyers, cotton weighers and others
whose activities are conferred on the
marketing of the staple, to what seems
to have been an inadvertence or over
sight. 1t seems that according to the
last report of privilege tax collections
the sheriffs have collected from these
industries only a pro rata tax or for a
part OF the year only, when, as a mat
ter of fact, they are subject to a tax for
the entire year, or from May to May, if
they have been engaged in the same
line during the past season, and the
full years tax must be collected.

searching parties from this city have
