Farmers intending to sow
winter wheat should lose no
time in blowing their land
} They should then protect their
soil from being robbed of it's
moisture by the winds, by inn
mediately narrowing it. Don't
pillow more in one day than can

would otherwise be taken out

A Royal ExiIe's Reception.
In the memoirs of Princess Murat
there Is an indignant description of
the reception accorded Napoleon III.
in England in 1871:
"When the emperor went to Wind
sor by the queens invitation, accom-
panied by the Due de Bassano and
the officers Of his suit, he found that
only small pony carriage had been
sent to meet him-all that was thought
necessary for a fallen sovereign. The
empress was loud in expressing her
outraged feelings. Lord Gran
Vile and Mr.. Gladstone were, l know,
Mortified when they heard Of the blum
der. l think that an apology was sent
to his majesty, blaming some official
Of the court for the tactless incivility."

A GAMBLERS RING.
When Its Owner Deals the Cards Are
an Open Book.

When Its Owner Deals the Cards Are
an Open Book.
A curious ring seen recently is one
that belongs to a gambler. one of the
most famous card players in the Unit
ed States. 1t is heavy gold band af-
fair and is exactly ive-eighths of an
inch wide. Running around the band
in such a way as to completely circle
1t is a row of five small signets. Each
one of these is worked in gold in the
form of a shield. These shields are
polished on their surface and bear no
marking of any sort.
Inside the ring and grooved into its
outer circle is another gold circle
When the ring is put on the operators
finger by a slight movement it is pos
sible to slide the outside band around
on the inner one. The instant this Is
done from under one of the small
shields appears minute mirror. This
mirror is scant quarter inch in diam
eter.
When the operator sits in at game
of cards he wears the ring on the little
finger of his right hand.
When he slides the cards off the pack
as he deals this little mirror comes di-
rectly under the card that is being
dealt. The dealer. looking down at his
hands as he deals, sees each card as it
comes off the pack. He knows each
card that he has dealt and exactly
who has the card.
AS the dealer puts the pack down by
a movement either slow or fast it is a
perfectly simple matter to give the
ring a slight rub. sliding it back into
its original position. The mirror, even
when it is exposed. is always on the
inside of the hand and concealed from
every one. After long practice it is
possible to pull every card off the pack
in such a manner that it will reflect in
the exact center of the mirror.-Boston

Rank and Pay of Physicians In the
Government Service.


Government Service.
Uncle Sam employs more than 1000
physicians.
These doctors are pretty evenly di-
vided between the medical corps of the
army, the medical corps of the navy,
the marine hospital and the public
health service. The complete army
medical corps includes 444 medical Of
ficers in addition to the medical re-
serve corps, the hospital corps, the
nurse corps and the dental corps. The
medical corps embraces "a surgeon
general with the rank of brigadier gen
eral, IA colonels, 105 majors and 300
captains or first lieutenants, with the
rank, pay and allowances of officers of
corresponding grades in the cavalry
arm of the service"
The pay of doctors is interesting.
The lowest rank held by medical Of
fcers is that of first lieutenant. The
medical lieutenant gets $1,000 per an
mum, or $166.66 monthly. At the end
of three years he is promoted to cap
tain and receives $2,400 year. In two
years he receives an increase OF ~ per
cent, or FIVE years service, making
So, ,64O, or $500 per month. After ten
years service the pay would be $3.50,
or $240 per month. The pay attached
to the rank of major is $4,000 per year.
which, with 10 per cent added for each
five years service, becomes $4,000 aft
er ten years service, $1,000 after fif-
teen years service and $4,000 after
twenty years service. The monthly
pay of lieutenant colonel. colonel and

Among birds the home of the bald

Of the eagles victims scattered round
about it, it gives proper setting to
the stern and savage character of its

APPARENTLY not )
ADVISED, OF fact
That Legislature Changed Time For
Making Biennial Reports Of, State
Institutions.
Special to The Nea0S.

special to The Nea0S.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 25.-Some Of
the state institutions and state Of
ficials are apparently not aware of
the fact that the legislature at it's
last session changed the time for
making biennial reports, for they have
not yet complied with chapter 116 of
the session acts of 1910.
This new statute requires that re-
ports of state educational and ele-
mosenary institutions, and all other
institutions supported in whole or in
part by the state, and all state Of
ficials except the insurance, treasury
and auditing departments, shall bien-
nially make to the legislature detailed
reports for periods ending June 30th,
instead of Sept. Both, as formerly
provided.
The insurance department is re-
quired to make biennial reports for
ptllOOo tlhihS holNh Ioef hSA'' PiN
ceding legislative sessions. This al
lows the insurance companies the u.s.
ual time in which to file their reports,
and gives the insurance commission
er ninety days after the list of jan
uary to get his report in printed
form.
All state officials and state insti-
tutions, except those to whom exemp-
ton is specified, are required to have
copy for their reports delivered to
the secretary of state not later than
July 18th, and the state printers must
deliver the printed copies by the 18th
of November, and in no case later
than the 1st OF December. This on
ables the secretary of state to send
copies of the reports to members OF
the legislature, and permits the law
makers to spend thirty days in ia
miliarizing themselves with the work
of the state government during the
two preceding years.
The auditor and treasurer are re
quired to make reports for biehnia
periods ending on Oct. 1st, and tt
deliver manuscript to the secretary
of state as soon as practicable aftel
that date, and these must also be
delivered in printed form in time fo1
transmission to Legislators by Decem
Der 1st.
Owing to delays in former years
blame for which can be chief!
ascribed to the state printers, thu
legislature provided a penalty of 81
per day to be deducted from the sal
ary of each official who fails to sub
nit his report to the secretary o
state within the time specified.

MAN, STUDY YOUR AAR!
Then Before You Comb It Study the
Architecture of Your Face.


Just as surely as hair is woman's
crowning glory 1t Is mans glorious
crowning-that Is. to those that have
it. Those whose heads have pushed
up through their hair usually use
huckaback towel for the delicate proc
ess of parting the hair. but unless one
has the peculiar requirements 1t Is not
worth while to cultivate them.
Men with low. squatting foreheads
should not pull their hair down over
their brows. and men whose foreheads
are beginning to work back should in
vite their locks down. If your hair has
quietly slipped down toward your ears
on each side. leave it there. II you
bring 1t up in strings and wisps It will
merely look like climbing vines and
will never really have the free and
easy homelike appearance chat ought
to be the part of all natural hair.
Do not part your hair any earlier
than you can help. Hair is in a hurry
these days, anyway. Usually 1t doesn't
stay more than long enough to make
sure that the baby is going to be boy
before it hastens off. 1t will part OF
itself soon enough the best you can do.
Before combing your hair you should
get acquainted with the architecture
of your face. If your face is OF the
harvest moon variety do not inlay
your hair. Puff it up as much as pos
sible It's better to look like feather
duster on a Monday morning than a
scratched billiard ball on Saturday
night.
But If your face is Of long. gallop-
ing ensemble do not encourage your
hair to fluff. Instead keep it down
close to headquarters. If your head
inclines to run up to cone do not
spread your hair around in imitation
of palm tree thatch. Rather fluff II
up and windrow it for fear some un
bred person will begin to talk about
spring radish tops.-Homer Croy II

The successful entry to the rat
ural wealth of the islands by the
sugar trust, with similar advances
by large rubber and lumber interests,
is viewed by the Philippines with
alarm and dispair. They are COM
