A Mans Life Saved After Choking
on Tough Beef.

How a mans life was saved by a
common seidlitz powder is described
by German physician. DR.. Franck,
who was called to treat a man who
had swallowed a large piece Of tough
meat, which stuck in his gullet AS
1t was impossible to dislodge the
meat b. natural means, and as the
patientss condition was critical, the
doctor tried the efficacy of the gas
which is generated when the constitu-
ents Of seidlitz powder are mixed.
He directed the man to swallow the
two halves of one of the powders
separately. and the resulting pneuma-
dc pressure, aided by the man, who
shut his mouth and closed the nasal
passages, was sufficient to drive the
piece OF meat out of the gullet into
the stomach.

To Hang a Skirt.

Lay the dress on the table and pin
the bottom up on the outside of the
skirt six and three-eighth inches. This
is the amount that will be taken up
by the tucks and finish around the
bottom of the skirt. The skirt is hung,
however, before the tucks are put in,
and l think l can make it quite clear
to you why this must be So Many
people have slight irregularity in
the size of their hips; others have
prominent abdomens. or fat backs
These things will prevent a skirt from
hanging absolutely even at the first

Eocusts are devastating Southern
Algeria. The swarms are SO great
Gs almost to defy Imagination. 1t is
not easy to conceive of an almost solid
phaianx of insects 125 miles long by
six miles wide. Unfortunately the de-
vastation which such myriads of vo
racious insects must create in vegeta
ton Is not so difficult to appreciate
Wherever the host has passed nothing
green remains. Even the houses are
becoming uninhabitable.

Williams Will Lecture.

The Jackson chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy are much gratiied
that their efforts to secure Senator-elect
John Sharp Williams to deliver a lee
ture under the auspices of their order,
will result successfully. The ladies are
maintaining three students at Missis-
sippi collegiate institutions, who worked
for and won scholarships at the Indus
trial Institute and College, Millsaps Col
lege and Mississippi College, Clinton,
and the expense incurred means quite a
tax on their resources.

Fines From Lumber Men.

Attorney General Stirling has figured
as a factor in adding to the treasury
cash, having paid in the sum of $4,000,
the net proceeds resulting from pay
ments to him by retail lumber firms who
were caught in the famous antitrust
suit dragnet. There is still small bal
ance outstanding, representing individual
cases, which are still to be passed upon
by the chancellor, and which will be
very apt to be determined favorably to
the State The payment thus made came
at an opportune time.

More Courts Necessary.

Gov. Noel has been asked to submit
to the Legislature the question of rear

districts. SO as to create several new
districts ard to give each county suf-
6cient length to dispose of its business.

Is far more in extent than those courts

published to the effect that a reward of
$4,000 had been offered for the capture
of Col. James Gordon, who will succeed
the late Senator McLaurin of Missis-

Commission Enjoined.

The Illinois Central and Yazoo & Mis-

straining them from enforcing the new

junction was issued by Judge Henry c..
Niles, and other roads in the State are
expected to take similar action. The
new rates, should they be enforced,
you'd mean reduction of about one
