Nearly all tobaccos are doctored IN
various ways in order TO suit the tastes
Of different consumers. Each manu-
factnrer- IN Havana-has bis own
secret methods, handed down from IA

fectly legitimate and necessary in the
preparation Of the soothing weed. Salt

not true. as some suppose, that opium

Among the favors used are coffee, tea,

OLD SUMMER DRINKS.

Buttermilk 10 days long by was al
most fetish in the hands Of the beau
ties Of the time. When Marie Antoin-
cite and her ladies rolled up the sleeves
Of their lowered muslins and played
with churns and cream bowls 10 the
laiteric at tho petit Trianon, the butter
milk craze was at its height.
UnRuents for the face as well a. the
potions 10 which they INDUCED we're
probably responsible for the lovely COM
plexions which made poets compose odes
70 the bloom Of their checks and paint
ers almost implOre on their knees that
disdainful beauties should relent 30 far
as to have their charms immortalized.
In baked buttermilk one Of the strong
holds Of the complexion was said 70 lie
In few days it worked wonders, while
perseverance in it's use during the whole
Of the summer months would preserve
the skin smooth and soft as roseleaf.
Where the sour milk prophet errs TO-
day is in insuffcently dlluting the but
termilk, the proportions in the genuine
old recipes Of the past being that Of a
gill to pint Of fresh milk. This was
poured into jar with a fitted lid and
placed before the open range during the
whole Of day.
By night the milk had turned TO the
consistency Of clotted cream, 10 which
state it was poured from height from
one vessel TO another until, BY some
magical means, the contents had gone
back once more 10 the smoothness Of
fresh milk. 1t was then sweetened with
cane sugar and enclosed finally in a
stone bottle, corked down tightly and
placed before the fire, but not too near,
for five or six hours. At first baked
buttermilk does not always appear par
ticularly pleasing. the mere fact that it
is distinctly sour making it an acquired
taste.
II it was not acid, however, it was
scarcely considered TO have been per-
fectly made, while il it effervesced when
the bottle was opened il formed not on
ly a more refreshing summer drink.
particularly when we'll iced, but was
thought to be particularly eficacious as
a means Of improving the complexion.

Ants as Weather Prophets.

Ants as weather prophets afford new
testimony to the cleverness Of these
small animals When you go out on
spring morning and find the ants busily
engaged in clearing out their nests and
dragging the sand and bits Of earth to
the surface you may be sure that. no
matter how cloudy it is, there will be
no rain that day, aud the probabilities
arc for several days Of good weather.
II, however, you sec the ants about
the middle Of spring or summer after
noon hurrying back to the nest and a
sentinel trotting out in every direction
looking up stragglcrs and urging them
to go home as soon as they can get
there, you may figure on rain that after
noon or night.
When tho last Of the wanderers is
found the picket hurries in and the nest
is securely sealed from the inside to
keep out tho water 1t is seldom that
ants are taken by surprise by the ap-
proach Of shower.-Chicago Tribune.

Remarkable Cure of Pneumonia

DIR. NJ. X. Combs. ono of Terre
Haute's best-knOwn physicians, is re-
covering from pneumonia. and the med
ical fraternity say that his life was saved
by heroic treatment Of which there is
no record of q like case. A freezing
water bath was given him at the mo-
ment he was thought to be dying to
shock the respiratory centres and thus
restore respiration. Cold water baths in
cases of fever are frequently admins
tered TO lower the temperature. but DR..
Combs temperature was normal. He
was kept in the bath three hours. The
death rattle ceased after a short time
following the immersion and respiration
soon became stronger.
The entire staff of Union Hospital
had been interested and assisted in the
fight for his life when. at the critical
stage, DR.. Niblack suggested the ico-
water bath. Indianapolis News,

crowa and strInas.

II was proved centuries ago that a
crow can count up TO three and no
more. ! met farmer once who said
that his corn crop had not failed in
twenty years owing to his habit OF
stringing his field. He explained:
mo crow will enter an angle formed
by two strings stretched on poles.

In corn for fodder, protecting It by a

way Of circumventing him." - New

Your Horses Feet.

A horse should never be compelled
to stand uphill. The anatomy of the
horses foot, aud, indeed, the shape Of
the horse himself, makes this an un-
comfortable and unrestful position.
Whatever tho arrangement for drain
ago is, the horse must stand as nearly
level as possible. Moreover. he must
stand upon dry surface unless it is
found that his feet need moisture. In
such cases a wet clay floor is excellent,
temporarily.

after your horse has properly cooled of,

from his legs and the outer portions OF
his hoofs, but from tho sole as we'll

A POLITICAL PRopLEsI.
Anniatoa's Prorata of County Road and
 Bridge Fund.

9fhUHG E01ue
 Anniston. July 22.--(Special)- )-The !. Calhoun County Commissioners Court has met and adjourned again. and the matter of the pa ayment of the s4.500 as Anniston's pro rata of the county road and bridge fund. said to be due under the provisions of the municipal code enacted by the last Legislature. Is still a consummation devoutly to be wished by the citizens of the Model City.
 Opponents of the administration poll ley have said that the failure of the city to secure this amount Is attribut- able to Mayor Kilhy. who has opposed the adoption of the new Code by the Model City It is said. however. that the city's chances of realizing the claim would In all probability be no better if the Code were adopted. as the commissioners are holding back the amount on account of an alleged defect in the Code itself. and not because of the failure to adopt 1t on the part of the city.
 When this matter. was first brought up before the County Commissioners, they refused to pay the pro rata claim ed on advice of Judge Henry D. Me- carty acting in the capacity of county attorney. who says that the Code Is unconstitutional in this respect, in that nothing is said in the title of the act in reference to the division of road or bridge tax. Later when the mat ter was pressed by a body of citizens. the Commissioners agreed to grant the claims of the city. County Treasurer H. B. Glover. however. refused to make the payment. and the Commits sioners later rescinded their action. so that the matter is now In abeyance, pending a decision by the courts as to of the act
 This matter has been discussed a great deal by the political enemies of Mayor, Kilby, who further claim that the city is losing about s4,0O0 annually because of the refusal of the Mayor to aecede to a reduction of wages of the city officials in accordance with the at first made by the City Council. The Mayor wants horizon tai reduction. and will consent to noth- Ing else. It Is said. and due to this fact tn has been no reduction at all, the ofHcials receiving the same pay that they were receiving on the first of the year.
