Old EnuIish Laws About Buttons,

Buttons have engaged the attention
Of legislators even more frequently
than hats. Five acts have been pass
ed to protect the button industry of
England. and some of these are still
unrepealed. An act of George I. in
fiicts a penalty of 40 shillings on any
person using or selling buttons made
of cloth. serge. drugget. frieze or cam
let"
This law. says the London Daily
Mail. was a source of intense annoy
ance to foreign visitors, and the author
of "Le Parisien a Londres." a guide
written in 17S9. is careful TO explain
its provisions at considerable length.
He adds however, that foreigners
"who are able to prove that their
clothes were made in their own coun-
try escape the penalty when first sum-
moned on the understanding that they
change their buttons within twenty
four hours.'

How a Coal Fire Protects Itself.

A curious way in which fire in the
heart of coal pile keeps itself from
being put out is noted in a mining
journal. Such fires often start in the
interior of large piles of coal owing
to heat developed by slow oxidation,
which is prevented by the size of the
pile from escaping into the air. Such
fires are difficult to put out owing to
the fact that the burning mass turns
the coal around it into coke. which is
nearly impervious to water. The pile
may thus be thoroughly drenched
without putting out the fire, which it
never really reaches. The only way
to deal with the situation is to drive
into the pile a sharpened iron pipe,
long enough to reach the burning coal
and then to couple hose to the upper
end and turn on the water.

The Rich.

1t is a great mistake to believe that
the rich are holding us down. As a
matter of fact, they are pulling us up.
If there were no rich people to keep
our eyes glued upon the great gulf
between having and not having none
of us would hustle We have to have
the rich mans mansions prodding US,
his power scourging us and his auto
mobile butting us TO get anywhere at
all. We have TO see his wife and
daughters in silks and jewels and
realize what our own wives and daugh-
ters without these things think of us
as providers to peel our coats off and
get into the game. None of us can go
out driving with such as we have and
suffer the rich man to whiz past us
In prism glass and FURNISHED brass,
throwing dust in our eyes and gasoline
in DIR hair. without doing better in the
great area of human endeavor for the
next two or three days anyway. Bless
ed are the rich, for they ~ us with
shame and new resolve and make US
to wonder what in the sam Hill we
have been doing all these years.-St
Louis ostDispatch.

Ryron's "Rride of Abydos."

1t was after Lord Byron arrived in
Greece that he wrote that beautiful
poem "The Bride of Abydos'' and that
exquisite song the Maid of Athens"
which, says a Paris contemporary,
every Englishman of culture knows by
heart. Documents enable us to estab-
lish the true identity of the heroine
Of this poem. She was one of the
three daughters of Mr.. Black, English
vice consul at Athens. at whose house
Byron for some time lived. After the
departure of the poet Theresa Black
married an archaeologist, NJ. Pittakis,
whose widow she became several
years later. Her beauty, her charm,
her elegance, conquered every heart,
including Byron's. In 1873 the hero
inc of the poet was an old woman of
upright figure and still showing signs
Of her former beauty. With age had
come poverty. The London Times,
moved by her distress, opened at this
epoch a subscription in her favor. She
died In 1S75.-London Globe.

The Gun Charmers,

Among the more superstitiously in
clined of the sporting Cingalese are
gun charmers, who allege that a gun
may be charmed in different ways and
by different methods. An essential
part of the process, however, appears
to be the muttering of certain formu-
lac.
A gun, the charmers say, may be
charmed in any one of the following
four ways: % So that it will wound
the animal fired at, but will not kill
outright; (2) so that he who carries it
shall find nothing worth shooting; 81
SO that it will not kill anything flying,
but will kill animals that run, and
a. so that it will not kill anything
that runs, but will kill anything flying.
No gun can be charmed at all if the
owner takes the precaution of rubbing
some pork fat on the barrel or at
taches piece of the outer skin of the
rat snake to the stock in such a way
that it cannot be seen.

a given text book to WORK hard for
some publication.
The competition between the pub
fishers is keen, disappointment among
men, who have been promised royal
ties on books which they have not
composed, if these books should be
selected, will be sore and bitter, and
we may have a text book scandal on
a respectable scale. AS the matter
of text books affects every patron of
the public schools, much interest will
ton of text books can be solved in
such a way as not to have these
periodical scandals every five years
it is hard to say 1t is suggested
that no text book be adopted whose
ostensible author, if a resident of the
state, had nothing to do with the
composition of the book; this would
at once do away with the shadiest
sort of graft and a form of bribery
that cannot be reached by law. Un-
doubtedly other means could be found
and it would be well to look into the
matter in time to prevent the text
book question from becoming a nausc-
ating bone of contention. It is un-
savory enough as it is Heretofore
the people have been under the i'm
preston that wire-pulling and graft
have not affected the heretofore clean
profession of educators. But the ap-
pearance of names on the pages of
books of men who had no more to
do with their authorship than with

citizen who is a patron of the public

to be held Saturday, June T. to de-

floating Indebtedness and to raise
money with which to pay the running

Another bond issue is also to he
asked for $4,000 for the purpose of
remodeling and enlarging the court
house. These bond issues were to
have been made at. the present ses-

advertised, but a petition was pre-

asking that the people be allowed 10

ton was called for June 4.
They are to vote on the $4,000
proposition first. after which the less

Yazoo county's temple of justice is
sadly in need of renovation and the

In case the bond issue is voted
against it will be necessary for the

BUJINEJS..,VOT POLITICS

In personal or political way, The
News does not intend to have much
70 do with the municipal election that
is now on; but there are some fea-
lures of it with which The News
wishes to treat.
If the Commission Form of Govern
ment League has any ulterior motive
behind it, The News has no knowledge
of that fact. Judging the League by
the men who stand sponsor for 1t, we
accept its professions to be true; that
is, that it has no ak to grind
other than the best interests of Hat
tiesburg. And upon that one plank,
leaving it entirely to others to work
out the details, The News plants itself.
What is for the best interests of
Hattiesburg?' That is the question
every conscientious voter will ask
himself, and that is the question we
now ask them all; and ask them to
seriously ponder it, and to vote as
their judgment and conscience tells
them, not as their prejudices or per-
sonal predictions may suggest.
OF all that was said at the meet
ing last evening, we think the most
timely. the most pertinent, the best
Of all was the resolution offered by
Mr.. M. p. L. Love, to this effect:
THAT IL be the sense of this League
that We place our condemnation upon
any loose or lax administration of
Law; that we give our special en-
dorsement to an honest and sincere
enforcement of all laws, and especial
ly the laws pertaining to good morals;
and that we give our support to such
candidates as will pledge themselves
to the strict enforcement of all moral
laws and to a business and economi-
cal administration.
That is a good and sufficient plat
form, all in itself 1t stands for Law.
which is the safeguard of the people.
II stands for good morals, which is
the handmaiden of virtue and the
foundation of society. It stands for
business principles and economy,
which mean prosperity to the cor
