 Three different presidents of the United States in recent years have passed through the state or visited it as honored guests. Referring to the expected visit to the state of William Mckinley, probably the most beloved president since the war, and the one who first undertook to obliterate sec tonal lines and who endeavored to secure legislation providing for the care of Confederate graves by the nat ional government, when Mckinley had been invited by the governor of the state to pass through the state in the day time in order to see it, he eX
 pressed the wish through his paper that he would pass through the state on an August night in a box car filled with sweaty negroes with the creviceS stopped up so that the effulvia from the negroes might not escape
 On very recent occasion when President Taft was to be the guest, by request of the city of Jackson, he referred to him as follows: He is ad- dicted to golf, gulf and gab. He has a face with a smile which in his larg- est political asset and witch he has cultivated until it has become as fast set as the grin about the mouth of T defunct feline. He has little twink ling poreine eyes and dew-lap un- der his chin. His utterances are ponderous platitudes and the apoth- eosis of the obvious

That prenatal influences are often potent in shaping thoughts and ideas of after life. Probably old lady Roosevelt during the period of gestation was frightened by a dog and that fact may account for the qualities of the male pup which are so prominent in Teddy would not do either an injustice, but I am dis posed to apologize to the dog for men, tioning it. This was written about a southern lady Is the boasted spir- it of Southern chivalry so dead that a brutal utterance of this nature is to be stamped with the approval of the men of Mississippi? Does the in decency of these utterances furnish no reason for a conservative legisla- tor and Mississippi gentleman, even though uncorrupted by corporate wealth to hesitate about naming the man who uttered them as United States senator, realizing that thereby his ability to wield any influence for the good of the state has been de- stroyed? Whether I be named as United States senator is matter of trivial important to the state of Mis- sissippi. But Governor Vardaman is known to the people of the United States only by his utterances, and the legislature of the state of Mississippi should bear well in mind the fact that the attention of the entire south is focused upon it, and that the selection of Nardaman for the senate will be held to indicate sympathy with and endorsement of his many shocking utterances"

The Temple Of Burma.

Among the many interesting fea.
lures to be found in Burma the
numberless temples figure most
prominently. One group consists
of no fewer than $50 pagodas, on
each Of which is recorded on stone
a section of the law of Buddha, the
founder of the Buddhist religion,
which embraces millions of deyo-
tees. The reverence and awe with
which the images of Buddha are re-
gcrded are hardly less wonderful
than the fabulous sum which has
been spent on the erection of tenn
pies to his fame by poverty stricken
communities. In India and the I'D
joining countries the proceeds of
the sacrifices offered by the people
are devoted toward the erection of
gorgeous temples, which accounts
for the thousands to be found in
districts where Buddhism holds
sway.-Wide World Magazine.

The Third Handle.

Henry ". of France while hunt
ing became separated from his com
paniOnS and, feeling thirsty, called
at wayside inn for a cup of wine.
The serving maid on handing it to
him as he sat on horseback neglect
ed to present the handle. Some
wine was spilled. and his majesty's
white gauntlets were soiled. While
riding home he bethought him that
a two handled cup would prevent
Il recurrence of this, so his majesty
had two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the
inn. On his next visit he called
again for wine. when, to his aston
ishment, the maid, having received
instructions from her mistress to
be very careful Of the kings cup,
presented it to him by holding it
herself by each of its handles. At
once the happy idea struck the king
OF a cup with three handles, which
was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out
of three handles shall be able to
get one" Hence the loving cup.

What Mayor Means,

The word mayor Is an Angelciza-
ton Of the Norman term MARIE. It
was introduced as a title for the
chief magistrate Of borough or
city in the reign of Henry II. King
John first granted the citizens Of
London the right of electing a
mayor annually. The prefix of lord
and the style Of right honorable
we're conferred by Edward III. In
1854. For long time thereafter
York was the only other English
city having a lord mayor, but in
recent years the title has been ex-
tended to numerous provincial
cihes.-London Scraps.

BIRTH OF THE MOON.
When the Earth Was Sphere Of Lava,
Molten and Elattesed.

The earth revolyes on its axis
once in twenty-four hours. Mil
lions of years ago the day was
TWENTY-FIVE hours; millions of years
before it was twenty-one hours. AZ
We look backward into time we find
the earth revolving faster and
faster. There was a time ages ago,
long before geology begins, when
the earth was rotating IN a day Of
five or six hours in length. In the
remotest past the earth revolved In
a day of about FIVE hours. It could
revolve no faster than this and re,
main u single unbroken mass.
It was at this time that the moon
was born, separated, broken of
from the parent mass Of the earth.
The earth was then a molten, fat
tened sphere Of lava. Its whole
body was fluid. The tides, which
now are small, superficial and, SO to
say, local, were then universal and
immense. They occurred at short
intervals. The whole surface OF our
globe was affected. And the cor.
responding lunar tides in the fluid,
molten moon were indefinitely
greater still.
Our day is now twenty.four
hours. The distance Of the moon is
now 100000 miles. When our day
was about FIVE hours long the moon
was in contact With the earth's sur
face. 1t had Just broken away from
its parent mass. As the length of
the terrestrial day increased, so did
the distance of the moon. The two
quantities are connected by inexo-
rable equations. If one varies, so
must the other. Whenever the ro-
tation time of a planet is shorter
than the period of revolution Of its
satellite the effect Of their mutual
action is to accelerate the motion
of the. satellite and to force it to
move in larger orbit, to increase
its distance. therefore.
The day Of the earth is now
shorter than the month-the period
of revolution-of the moon. The
moon is therefore slowly receding
from US, and it has been receding
for thousands of centuries. But
the day of the earth is, as we have
seen, slowly growing longer. The
finger of the tides is always press
ing upon the rim of our huge fly-
wheel and slowly but surely lessen
ing the speed of its rotation. So
long as the terrestrial day is shorter
than the lunar month the moon
will continue to recede from US

He GOT THE Cross.

at Ratisbon,

Napoleon and the Battle Scared Hero
At Ratisbon.
The Oratorical repertory of every
schooIbOy probably includes Brown
ings poem beginning ''You know.
We French stormed Ratisbon."
The reader of memoirs, however,
particularly those of General Mar
bot, realizes that Ratisbon, battle
ground though It was, had its hui
morous aspect and was not all trag-
edy. Marriott says:
It was first at Ratisbon that the
emperor endowed the common SOL
diery, making them at once cheva-
hers Of the empire and members
Of the Legion of Honor. The pres
entations of candidates we're made
by the heads of divisions, but the
emperor allowed those soldiers who
believed that they merited this
honor to come before him, and he
alone judged and decided their
worth.
Once it happened that an old
gTenadier who had campaigned in
Italy and Egypt, not having been
mentioned, came himself to demand
in the most phlegmatic tones the
cross.
"But," said Napoleon, %wbat
have you done to deserve this re-
ward?"
"Wen, it was l, sire, who in the
desert of Jaffa, in an appalling
heat, gave you a watermelon" an
swered the soldier.
az thank you again." said the en-
peror, "but the gift of this fruit
isn't worth the cross of the Legion
of Honor"
Then the gTenadier, hitherto
calm and self possessed, was beside
himself and cried with the greatest
volubility:
Then you count as nothing the
seven wounds that | received at
Arcola, at Lodi, at Castiglione, at
the Pyramids, at St. Jean dAcre,
at Austerlitz, at Friedland-my
eleven campaigns in Italy, in
Egypt, in Austria, in Prussia, in
Poland, IN
But the emperor, laughingly in
terrupting his torrent OF words,
cried:
''Now you're getting at it. You
should have begun by telling this
at first. These campaigns are
worth more than a melon. l create
you chevaier of the empire, with
an annuity of 1900 francs. Are
you satisfied"
'EBut, sire. l prefer the cross!"
cried the grenadier.
"And you have it since have
made YOU chevaier," was the reply.
"But l would rather have the
cross!" And the simple minded
soldier refused to bulge. 1t took
all sorts Of persuasions to set his
mind at rest and make him under
stand that his title of chevalier bore
with it the honor of the cross. he
was satisfied only when the emperor
himself had pinned the decoration
on his breast. and he seemed in
finitely more satisfied with that
than with the gift OF 1900 francs.

GUARDING WINpsoR.
Famous Castle Protected at Ever,
Point BY Soldiers and Police.

Famous Castle Protected at Ever,
Point BY Soldiers and Police.
For an unauthorized person to
gain an entrance into one of the
kings palaces in England is nearly
an impossibility. It has been done.
but the number Of times could be
almost counted on the fingers of a
hand.
Within the walls of Windsor cas-
tie are treasures of priceless value,
and even if the court Is not In resi-
dence no one can enter without his
presence being known to the police.
When the king is in residence at
Windsor the guards are doubled.
Instead of one man marching up
and down with bayonet fixed be
tween sentry box and sentry box
there are two.
Then there are metropolitan po-
licemen on duty at each gateway,
as well as royal gatekeepers in scar
let and gold livery. In addition To
that, there are plain clothes detee-
tiyes and night watchmen.
A lunatic seldom gets farther
than Henry Wis gateway at
Windsor. The little police Office IS
just inside the gate, and here is Of
fcially recorded every day anything
of note that takes place within the
precincts of the castle.
a few yards inside the gateway
are also the quarters Of the officer
who is in command of the castle
guard. Telephones are installed al
over the castle, and the different
entrances are connected with the
main switchboard near the equer-
RES entrance.
II a paper knife were taken out Of
the castle today it would be missed
tomorrow. Every treasure and
piece Of furniture in Windsor cas-
tie is entered in huge books, and
photographs are kept Of all the
most valuable articles.
The sentries were always provid-
ed with ball cartridge until a
guardsman fred three bullets into
a stone elephant on the east terrace
Of Windsor castle, which he mis-
took for a ghost in the mists Of the
early morning. Now they have to
depend on their bayonets.
1t is very seldom that thefts
take place at royal residences. The
police have power to search all bags
or parcels being conveyed from the
royal palaces. Many years ago a.
sentry at Windsor castle managed
to hook down a valuable watch and
chain from one of the royal apart
ments with his bayonet on the end
Of his rife, but he was quickly
found out and punished.
a night Waterman goes on duty
inside the castle at Windsor every
night and comes of in the morn
ing. In case of fire he would at
once give the alarm, and in a very
few moments the royal fremen and
castle guard would be on the spot
and all entrances would be closed
and guarded. The same system pre-
walls at the chief of the other royal
residences.
The penalty for soldier failing
to perform his duty when on guard
outside royal residences is so severe
that there are very few cases indeed
on record of men having to be tax
en- OF their posts.-London Mail.
