Queer Whistling Language of she Ca.
nary Island Natives.

In Gomera. one of the smallest OF
the Canary islands, the silvando, OF
whistling language, survives. A cor
respondent writes: "a traveller must
land nj the little port of San Sebastian
and there find Il muleteer from the in.
terror. With him he must ride up the
steep bride paths that wind through
the mountains. When no longer any
living thing is within sight and the
wilderness Is only broken by the Grim

the clefts of the rock, the muleteer

In his mouth An arrow of piercing
sounds shoots across the'ravines and
up the stony terraces into the fast
nesses of the mountains. A moments
pause and there comes thin, almost
uncanny, answering whistle from far
away. Conversation begins and, as
the sounds rise and fall, are stacca-
toed or drawn out, so they are faith
fully echoed and transmitted by the
hills.
"Then comes the ghostly reply, and
then question and answer follow with

the water works agree on price to
be paid by the city to the water works
which it owns, for water rental for
water which it also owns. Under the
proposition the city would simply be
paying a rent for water which it
owns, and does not have to pay for,
just like a man paying rent for a
house which belongs to him.
After carefully considering the
matter, | am of the opinion that the
revenue from the water works plant
is not sufficient to authorize the de-
duction of the water works bonds of
$1O7 100000 from the entire outstand-
ing bonded indebtedness, and that the
city has exceeded the seven per
centum limit, and can not issue the
bonds for a school building without
first submitting the matter to the
qualified electors, and obtaining the
consent of two-thirds thereof.
The Legislature might be induced
to amend Chapter 1879. Laws 1908, so
as to provide that when bonds were
invested in enterprises producing a
sufficient saving and revenue to the
city, over and above operating ex-
penses to equal the interest on the
bonds so invested, they should not
be counted with the other outstanding
bonds in determining when the seven
per cent limit had been reached.
Such an amendment would permit
the bond issue in the near future.

TO TIE PUBLIC -,

The Mayor and Aldermen C. Hat
tiesburg in session Thursday l / hit by
resolution instructed the enforcement
of the law requiring the weighing of
all ice delivered to customers within
the city limits.
The Hattiesburg Ice & Coal Co. is
and has always been ready and will
ling to comply with the laws. Our
wagons are all equipped with scales,
and all customers have been privi-
lodged to see and have their ice
weighed, and it has been the fault of
the consumer if they have not re-
ceived weights. 1t would entail
loss in labor and time to carry each
piece of ice into the houses and wait
until the lady of the house was ready
to witness the weighing. All ice will
be weighed at the wagons. but where
the purchaser wishes to witness the
weighing it will be necessary to come
to our wagons at the time of delivery.

Abbevilie, La, March 3.-W. L. Nc
Antee, of the United States Biological
Survey, is spending this week at Belle
Isle, making a study into the class of
food taken by the green-winged teal
and the mallard ducks. He spent last
week at Bay View Club, in vermilion
Bay, making similar investigations.
The work Mr.. Antee is doing is re-
quired by the government to enable it
to determine if these ducks are not a
benefit rather than a nuisance to the
rice growing interest of Louisiana
These ducks come to their feeding
grounds along the gulf coast after the
harvesting season is over in the rice
fields and leave for the mating
grounds during the late winter or ear
ly spring, but while here destroy vast
quantities of shattered and red rices
in the rice fields.
II the report furnished the depart
ment by Mr.. McAntee bears out the
opinion already arrived at that these
ducks assist materially in minimizing
the red rice pest, then a decided step
will be taken with national protection
He is collecting an assortment of
duck gizzards from the different sec.
tons Of the state and a thorough ex-
animation of their contents will be de-
termined in his report.
Mr.. McAntee is incidently making
other investigations while here He
is examining into the food of the rob-
in with view of securing national
protection for that bird The goose
and its damage to pasture lands on
the coast is claiming a part of his
time, as is also the sapsucker and it's
deadly work to standing timber.

Dictionary Lore,

Poison and potion" are doublets,
the former being an older form of the
latter. Both are derived from the
Latin 'rotare," to drink, and poison"
In its original sense signified merely
something to drink.
While the word human" used as
meaning "a human being is now
only colloquinl or humorous, Lowell
in the introduction to the "Biglow Pa
pers" chided Bartlett for including it
IN his Dictionary Of Americanisms''
and remarked that it was Chapman's
habitual phrase in his translation of
Homer and that it is found also in the
old play of THE Hog Hath Lost
His Pearl."-Rochester Democrat and

THE STAGE DRINK.
Some Sarcastic Comments Upon Its
Terrific Potency.

What we have always noticed about
the stage drink is its terrific potency.
That there are other points Of interest
in this thing we do not deny, and we
are inclined to agree with a writer in
one Of the weekly papers who says
that "our actors, even the best and
most experienced of them, haven't the
faintest notion of how to drink nat
uraliy and with the air Of men who
are enjoying the process" And we
have frequently noted that curious I'M
spillable quality in the musical comedy
drink. In this particular type Of po-
tation, which is set to music and
which we may call the gay drink, the
careless gestures of the flagoD holders,
who do not actually drink until they
have waved the goblet upside down,
have been known to make strong and
thirsty galleryites burst into tears,
eommingled with reproaches. When
falsely accused Frederick suffers mo-
mentary attack of depression and de-
cides to set out for territories exclu-
sively canine he pours into a small
liquor glass a little very pale brandy
and, with desperate cry of frenzy
and despair, drinks it at one go. Some
times 1t is half a glass of noncorporeal
claret. But the result is the same.
Falsely accused Frederick instantly
starts his Apache dance with the
grand pianoforte, and friends who be-
lieved in him, enteri,fg at that mo-
ment, say, Good heavens. he. drunk"
The drink is poteo:. 1t cannot always
be a case Of wen .lness of head.-Lon-

STRANGE COMPANIONS.
The "Happy Family" and Kitten and
Hawk

Hawk.
The first public exhibition of hap
py family" in England was given
about fifty years ago, when there were
shown a monkey, a cat, several rats
and three or four pigeons in one cage.
The monkey was on excellent terms
with the cat so long as puss would
allow him to warm himself by cud-
ding her; otherwise he would show
his vexation by slyly giving her tail
a nip with his teeth.
The birds perched on the cats back
and pecked at her fur, and the rats
were as friendly with their natural
enemy as if she were one Of their own
sort.
A lady walking in TIE Isle of Wight
observed a little kitten curled up on
messy bank taking q midday nap.
AS she stopped to stroke it a hawk
swooped down and, bouncing upon the
kitten, hid it from sight.
The lady, fearing for the life of the
kitten, tried to rescue it, but the hawk
firmly faced her, stood at bay and re-
fused TO move. She fastened to a
fsherman's cottage and told the in
mates of the impending tragedy.
"It's always So" they said, laughing.
''That hawk always comes down If
any one goes near the kitten. He has
taken to 1t and stays near at hand
to watch whenever it goes to Sleep"
The lady, greatly interested. made
further inquiry and learned that the
Kittens mother had died, after which
the nursing was missed for several
days. One day the hawk was seen
about the cottage picking up scraps of
meat and carrying them to the roof of
the cottage.
The fisherman climbed up and found
the lost kitten nestled in hole in the
thatch and thriving under the care of
its strange foster father. 1t was
brought down and restored to the cot
tage, but the hawk would not resign
his charge and was always at hand to
rescue the kitten from the caresses of
strangers.-Philadelphia North Amer

TRUSTEE Bill
MAY become Law
Bill AboIishins Boards of Trustees
Of State Institutions Will Proba-
bly, Get Favorable Action.
Special to The Nescs.

Jackson, Miss, March 4.-Although
the plan is not favored by any of the
prominent educational leaders, indi-
cations are seemingly favorable for
the passage of the bill abolishing the
boards of trustees of the several uni
versities and colleges and directing
the appointment of a general board of
trustees of from twelve to eighteen
members, to have control of the Uni
versity of Mississippi, A. & NJ. Col
lege. Industrial Institute & College
and Alcorn A. & M. College
Governor Noel submitted this sub
ject in a special message about three
weeks ago and it was favorably re-
ported in the house, where the bill is
now pending for passage. 1t will
probably be reached during the early
part of the coming week.
One argument advanced against the
plan is that the members of general
board, unless they devoted practically
their entire time to the work, could
not keep themselves sufficiently IA
miliar with the affairs Of the four big
institutions. On the other hand, it is
urged that a more business-like man.
agement would result, and that the
Governor would be more likely to ap-
point trustees peculiarly fitted to d.
rect educational affairs.

fight APPROPRIATION
=. FOR timber CASES

Gulfport, Miss, March 3.-Strong
opposition has developed in Harrison
county against the attempt to secure
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
purpose of fighting the cases wherein
the state is attempting to regain tim
Der on the sixteenth section school
lands.
The reason given for this opposition
is that it is in fact made out of town
ship funds of the school children of
Harrison county now invested, the in
terest on which is being used for their
benefit and for which expenditure
they would not receive one cent in re-
turn or derive any benefit. If the sale
of the lands by the board of super
visors was void, the purchasers deriv-
ed no title and were trespassers, and
in cutting the timber they clearly
came under the decision of the Su-
preme Court in this sixteenth section
case Soeeih6 a waste lVI WHICH
they are liable in damages; so If the
county must return the purchase
money, the purchasers should account
for the damages. Another reason CIV
en- for the OPPOSITION is that the de-
crees under which it was asked for
will lapse and a more equitable de-
cree obtained in which the interest

sent such an effort ~ use organized
labor for political purposes. The rank
and file of union labor men
that Judge Crumpacker during his long
service in congress has been their con-
slant and valuable friend. His record is
well known and union men say that
this eleventh hour effort to mislead is
reacting in his favor.
The action of the Trades and Labor
Council has also brought to light mat
tiers damaging to Mr.. Peterson in whose
interest the dodger is being circulated.
Especially are the former members of
the International Brotherhood of Sta
tionary Firemen, local No. 119 of Whit
ing, incensed. That local was affiliated
with the Lake County Trades and labor
Council in September, 1907 when Mr..
Peterson on behalf of the Standard Dill
Company procured an injunction
against a strike in which the union was
engaged. proceedings was the
chief cause for the dissolution of the
local, and the action of the Trades and
Labor Council of which No. 119 of
Whiting was formerly a part. is par
ticuIarly offensive to these men. Many
of them still live in Lake county. Labor
men also feel that because of Mr.. Pet
erson's Connection with the Standard Oil
Company, the United States Steel Com
pany, and a dozen other corporations in
Lake county, they have nothing to ex-
pect from him, and that the extreme
measures resorted to by his Democratic
friends in the Trades and Labor Coun-
ell to advance his candidacy Is against
the real interests of organized labor.
From reports that continue to come
from the labor communities of Lake
county, it looks as if they would be al
most solidIy in line for the Republican
ticket.
