Bursting Balloons.

The greatest danger OF a high ascent
In a balloon is concerned with the
changing density OF the atmosphere
On the ground the atmosphere presses
on the balloon with weight of about
fifteen pounds for every square inch
of its surface. As the balloon rises,
however, the air grows thinner and
its pressure becomes in consequence
less and less. AS the pressure Of the
outside atmosphere, decreases the bal
loon expands. and IL the ascension is
made too rapidly or without sufficient
care the gas inside the silk envelope
will expand until the balloon bursts.
But the bursting of balloon in mid
air is by no means necessarily a fatal
catastrophe. Every balloon is provid.
ed with a ripping cord" which. when
pulled, cuts long rent in the envelope
out of which the gas speedily escapes
The silk bag is then carried by the air
into the upper portion Of the netting
where in the majority of cases il
forms a parachute and brings every.
thing safely to earth.

Doubtful Praise.

Mr.. Faxon was the Oldest patron of
the "select boarding house" in which
he lived, and his landlady sometimes
referred people to him for a recon-
mendation of her table. His wish was
to praise the food highly, as he could
conscientiously do, but one day he
overstepped his mark
I'm dyspeptic. sir" said a man who
had gone to Mr.. Faxon to make in
quiries about the boarding house, land
my food has to be simple and well
cooked-no high seasoning, no indigest-
ible compounds"
Mr.. Faxon looked at him with a
bland and reassuring smile.

impressive manner, you need have no
fears. All have eaten In the ten
years have been under Mrs. Browns

Surprising,
What Kodol Will Do
For you. when you need it. But the longer you neg
lect Indigestion the you will suffer before Kodol
can restore Good Digestion.

And, Of course, indigestion il neg
lected long enough, brings on seri-
Gus diseases in which Kodol cannot
benefit you. Some Of these there
Is no help for at all.
There are, in fact, very few all
ments which cannot be traced di-
rectly to impure blood. And i'm.
pure blood is always due to a dis
ordered stomach.
Use Kodol and prevent Nervous
Dyspepsia.
Kodol will effectually assist Ma
ture to secure a complete restora-
ton of good digestion. 1t does
this by at once digesting all food
in the stomach and keeping 1t d.
gested, until the stomach is rested
and can resume its own work. Ko-
dol removes the cause-and the
effect quickly removes itself.
When it is recalled that Apo
paexy, Heart Disease, Cancer-and
even Consumption-are due to
poor digestion and poisons thus
transmitted to the blood, and
throughout the systematic impor.
lance of maintaining good diges-
tion is at once realized.

The Monkey and the Pie.

An Indian faker had a monkey that
he had brought up from baby hood.
says an English writer The pair were
fast friends. the monkey being faith
full attendant on his master and as
good as a watchdog. One day the
faker made a pie for dinner and left
it to cook on a charcoal fire while be
went for a walk AS the cooking pro-
ceeded the savory smell was too much
for the monkey. 1t raised the crust
and tasted the chicken. Finding the
food very tasty. it ate more and more
until nothing but the crust remained.
Then 1t remembered its master. who
would shortly return hungry and ready
to enjoy his meal. What was to be
done? The sharp eyes Of the monkey
detected some crows not far away. so
without loss of time 1t lay down on
the ground as If dead. By and by a
crow came along and pecked at the
monkey, which seized the bird in a
twinkling, strangled it, stripped off the
feathers, placed it in pieces in the
dish, covered it over with the crust
and then contentedly awaited the re-
turn of the faker, to whom the whole
incident was related by an eyewitness.

Left Handed vituperatives.

Most counties in England have their
idiomatic expressions to denote left
handedness. and they are often pre-.
fixed to the unfortunate left handed
child's name In London the term is
kack handed, the word being also
equivalent to awkward. In Lanca
shire 1t is k-pawed, in Yorkshire gal.
lock or gawk handed, an expression
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Derbyshire are used the
terms keg handed. cork handed and
corky handed. while in the Teesdale
district cuddy handed is common and
in Nottinghamshire wallet handed.
In the south of England special
terms to denote left handedness are
also found. In Dorset 1t is scrame
handed and In Devonshire coochy
handed. In Scotland we find gawk
handed and in the west cawry handed
In Ireland a left handed man is called
kithogue. Tim Healy used this wore
in speech at East Wicklow, in which
he said that Mr.. O'Kelly could fight
with his left hand and had already
given his opponent some catalogues
that would spoil his political beauty
during the contest.-IOndon Chronicle

This Normal opens June s. con-
tinuing four weeks, and promises to
be one of the most successful Nor
mails we have ever had. Everything
is being done to make the time spent
here both pleasant and profitable.
State Superintendent J y. Powers

best lectures in the South, in addi-
ton to those we already have. We
have one of the strongest faculties
in the State.
The dormitories of Whitworth

The trade papers, and the news
papers of the country generally. es-
pecially those conducting Job offices,
are protesting against the govern
ment post office supplying printed
envelopes in competition with COM
mercial printers. These ENVELOPES.
of course, are purchased by Uncle
Sam in large lots and printed in
large quantities. putting the Job
printers of the country entirely out
of the envelope business. Job offices
can not measure in competition
with the government. which has nc
taxes to pay, and therefore requires
no margin. Printing seems to bt
about the only business the govern.
ment has sought to compete with.
1t places a number of its contracts
with private concerns to build wal
vessels and other equipments of the
army and navy, but when it comes
to the job printer. it puts him out
of the envelope business by supply
ing printed envelopes to the consum-
er for less than most concerns car
buy the imprinted stock. Not only
does it do this unostentatiously, but
issues a circular, advertising this en-
velope printing department, anC
sends it out to the trade free Of pos
tage. The free postage is big adj
vantage which the struggling jot
printer can not parallel. Uncle
Sam does not mean to be unfair Il
the printer, and doubtless viii soor
discontinue being the competitor o
the small country printer.
We hope the Mississippi members
Of Congress, and all others as well
will see that justice is done to th'
printing enterprises Of the country
by taking our dear Uncle Sam
out of competition with US. We o
the South can not measure with thu
old gentleman. We tried it in war
in 1860 to 1865. and were overpow
cred by his prowress of advantages
We don't want to try it in business
in 1909, for there the odds are al
greatly against US.

Equalization of r. r. Rates.

r. r. Commissioner Scott is au-
thor of the proposition, citing all
railroad companies operating in the
State, to appear before tie commits
sion and show cause why their
passenger rates should not be equal
lied. The lowest rate at which mile
age books are sold in this state Is
two cents a mile, while three cents
is charged those buying tickets. Mr..
Scott hopes to have the railroad
companies reduce the fare on tickets
to two cents, the same as charged
for mileage books. The option,
however, is with the railroad COM
panies, either to reduce ticket fare
to two cents or raise mileage book
fare to three cents. Since equaliza-
ton Of rates is the contention, all
fares are likely to be raised to three
cents. The legislature at the last
session saw fit to leave passenger
fares at the old rate. The result
has been that in travelling in this
state three cent fare is paid, but
west Of the Mississippi, on the same
road. only two cents per mile is
collected. 1t may cost a railroad
company more to pull its coaches
over Mississippi soil than elsewhere,
but it should not figure out that way
The legislature may have acted
wisely ia making Mississippians pay
more to travel in their own state
than III others. but, if it did, the
wisdom was in favor of the rail-
roads. The Weekly does not criti-
else it for its failure to legislate in
favor of their people. for it wanted
to encourage the railroads, but the
people need to be encouraged some
times.
