Antiquity of Fishing.

Probably no branch of industry can
lay claim to greater antiquity than
that of fishing. It's origin would seem
to be coeval with the earliest efforts
of human ingenuity. for the oldest
monuments Of antiquity show the fish
crman in fun possession of the imple-
mcnts of his calling, and even those
tribes of Savages which have learned
neither to keep iocks nor to till the
fields are skilled in the fabrication of
the hook. the fish spear and the net
The earliest civilization of the eastern
Mediterranean was begun with fishing.
Sidon. which means fishery" was
originally fishing village. and its en-
terprising inhabitants devoted their at
tention mainly to the collection of II
certain kind of moIluskS, from which
they prepared the famous tyrian pur
pie. priced more highly for the rich
ness and variety of its hueS than any

Cosmic Dust.

A particle of dust one-hundred thou

in its place in space by the force

cause as the particle becomes smaller
its surface which is subject to pres

its weight.

A sLANDER.

The Paris Mercury makes the
following pointed comments:
The ignorance and provincialism
of the East, of its magazine editors
in particular, was never demons
trated more extensively or with a
greater show of assinmity than in Il
sketchof Champ Clark which ap.
pears in the Current Literature
for January. After describing the
personality of the new Democratic
leader in the House, it tells of his
constituency and de clares with un.
blushing ignorance that there are
not a hundred brick houses in his
district. " Montgomery City is
described as a country town of
rambling shacks with cord-wood
piled in front of the stores and the
whole atmosphere is that of Ar
kansas of IS years ago. The writ
er, evidently, had never been any
furthur west than Philadelphia and
did not know that Clark's district
was inhabited by cultured, inteli-
gent and progressive people, that
it coutainrd thriving, pOpulOus
towns, more modern perhaps than
those of rural New York, and
that its farming population was
among the richest and best educat-
ed in the world. Think of it,.
Not n hundred brick houses in the
fat counties of Audraiu, Gala
way, Pike. Rails, Montgomery,
Lincoln and st. Charles. with
cities like Mexico, Fulton. Louis
ana, st. Charles, Bowling Green
with paved streets, water aud
light plants, colleges, asylums,
manufactures, and solid blocks of
modern business houses. Jeru.

Literature aud be should deny
himself something to take it.

GRAND JURY REPORTS.
Makes Timely Recommendations
as to the Jail and Coun-
ty Farm.

work and it was. good work too.
The members were a conscientious,
able set of men. They found
about 100 indictments for different
offenses, we understand, and then
they turned in the following report
regarding the County Jail and
the Poor Farm:
To the honorable County Court
of Audrain County, Missouri.
Gentlemen;
We, the Grand Jury Of Audrain
County, Missouri, instructed to in
vestigate the condition of the coun-
ty Jail and county buildings, most
respectfully report:
That the foreman of said Grand
Jury empanelled on the 18th day
: of January, 1909, appointed
committee consisting of Il. o.
Snedeker, of Prairie township; j.
F. Diskam, of Salt River town
ship; l.. A. Northcutt, of North
Wilson township, to carefully make
an investigation of the county Jail,
The said committee did on Jan
uary 81, 1909, make such investi-
CATION of the county Jail and re-
commend the adoption of the same,
or similar report as that of the
Grand Jury of Jan. 25, 1907. viz:
We examined every part of the
Jail inside aud out aud found the
same to be in deplorable condi.
ton of decay. We find the walls
of the Jail and residence badly
cracked and in an unsafe condition
the whole structure is held togeth-
er by iron rods passing through
the same in many directions and
we believe the whole structure
would fall down il said rods were
removed.
We find no suitable cell for the
confinement of female prisoners or
minors. Nor is the Jail large
enough for the demands of the in.
crease of criminal population of
the county. even if it were safe to
cOnfine prisoners in or for the
Sheriff's family to live in.
We, therefore, recommend to
your honorable body that the said
Jail and residence part be torn
down and a new, safe and substan-
tial Jail house be built instead,
with separate apartments for fe-
males; one for hardened criminals;
and one for fret offenders.
The sewer system of the Jail is
miserably deficient.
We find the Jail at the present
time over. crowded; but under the
adverse circumstances, every care
possible is given that tends to
cleanliness and comfort of the pri-
sOners.
The said committee, appointed
as aforesaid. further reports:
That on Jan. 20, 1909, we visit
ed the county farm aud county
poor-house asd buildings used to
care for the poor; examined the
same carefully and find that the
inmates are we'll cared for and are
in good health.
The house and buildings on said
farm are old structures and are %
years or more behind the times in
which we live. aud not such as this
county, one of the best in the state
should have or a Christian com
monwealth should furnish for its
unf0rtunates.
Therefore. we would suggest;
First. that the farm be sold as
a whole, or that portion south of
the railroad and the portion north
of the county road. aud the pro-
ceeds used to erect a modern brick
building; stone or cement founda-
tion, with separate apartments for
men, women, epileptics and the
superintendent and his family.
Said building should have a
basement. plumbing, including
baths, sewerage. walks aud every
