The Word siIhoustts.

The little black pictures called ''sil- houettes'' derive their name from Eti- enne de Silhouette, who was the French minister of finance in 1759. His extreme economy in matters of finance was caricatured by all classes, and any cheap mode or fashion was sarcastically called by his name. About that time these profiles were produced by casting the shadow of a face on the paper by the light of a candle and tracing about it. Because they were cheap they were called in ridicule at the minister 'silhOuettes, /" and the name has ever since been re- tained.-Boston Globe.

Ensland's Old Common Field System.

A common field" is quite distinct from common" It is field be- longing to numerous owners. The land consists of long narrow strips, perhaps not more than ten yards wide and run ming parallel with one another. What are the exact rules of cultivation that obtain i'll Kent today we do not know, but of old it was usual to have regu- lar rotation, such as wheat one year, barley or oats the second and fallow the third. When the crops were har- vested, each member of the community getting his or her share, all could put in their cattle, which roamed over the whole field, feeding on the stuhhle, etc. And this was termed the right of sack" The common field" system was gradually done away with by statutes in the reigns of George III. and William IV.-London Express,

Punishment For Perjury.


 Perjury is q crime more severely punished in Germany than in any oth- CT country ill the world. Even an ap- parently trivial misstatement under oath carries sentence of ten years in prison. Excepting murder, there are few crimes that carry as heavy pen atty as perjury. The German theory is that the entire system of jurispru- dence rests on the respect for an oath administered under the forms of law and that this must be strictly guarded in order to secure the punishment of other crimes and insure justice in civil eases. Germany stands at one extreme and the United States at the other. Fewer people are punished in the United States for false swearing in the witness box than ill any other country Telegraph.

Trouble.

The hot weather the past week seems
to have been bad on tempers and a
number of rows have taken place in the
county.
It is rumored that Major Heflin
brought on large stock OF wet goods
one day last week and stored them in
hit place of business at Branson. This
same rumor says that when the Major
opened up the next morning he didn't
have any wet goods, somebody having
forced an entrance to the building and
carried off the supply. This is only a
rumor, but if it is true the Major is
showing his grit as he has made no
complaint to the officers.
Sunday afternoon Henry Sullenger
was sitting on the front porch at his
home in Branson. Noon and James
Thompson came along and it is alleged
began using profane language and 9TH
erwise creating a disturbance. Sullenger
requested them to move on and it is
said that the Thompsons replied by
making Henry the target in a shooting
match. Sullenger ran into the house
and got his gun and returned to the
scene of action. Eight shots were ex-
changed, the results being punctures
in the ground, houses and atmosphere,
but none in anatomies. The nearest
to this happened when a bullet went
through the wall of the home of James
Patterson and struck Mrs. Patterson
but was so near spent that it did not
break the skin. The Thompsons i'm
mediately decamped and officers are
now looking for them and when caught
information will be lodged against them
in the circuit court.
Down in the southwest part of the
county there is tract of land on which
there is crop over which there has
been dispute between w. N. Ander-
son and Tony Keith. They met near
Hollister Monday and had words on
the subject when, it is alleged, Ander
son struck Keith over the head with
bottle. A warrant has been issued
against Anderson charging him with
common assault and he will have trial
before Squire T. F. Jennings, July II.
