Title of "E squire"

Esquire dated back to the days when the Greeks and Romans were in the heydey of their existence. The armor bearers who served as attend ants of the knights by way of body guard were called esquires. Later, in England the king created esquires by placing collars about their necks and bestowing upon them pairs of silver spurs The title has never lapsed in that country. There are now legally esquires by heritage, by creation, or by virtue of the holding of some of flee.
 In this country the title has come into general use simply by courtesy but 1t must be admitted that it Is a very flimsy excuse for its adoption In England there Is a disposition to use 1t as applying to men not engaged in trade.

SuHraGette Papers.

Great Britain has three papers and first-class magazines devoted to wom- an suffrage. Holland. Denmark, Nor way, Sweden. Germany, Austria, Rus sia, Finland. Iceland, France, Switz- erland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland have each a woman suffrage paper and a few of them more than one.
 Belgium has woman's paper which advocates the enfranchisement of women, though this is not its chief object. In these publications 12 Ian guages are represented and in each case the paper is edited and managed by women. In the United States there are seven woman suffrage papers, and the International Woman Suffrage Al liance has a monthly paper published at otterdam.-American Suffragette

COUNTS PRICE OF PROGRESS
Writer Considers Race Has Paid Highly for Development of
 Past Century.

What. then, let us ask, has been the price of this century of unprece- dented progress? To begin with, we have grown distrustful of enthusiasm, and have become somewhat cynical and superficial withal We skim the surface of life, without time to make our impressions our own. We are on the way to become spiritually lm- poverished people, somewhat lacking in the generous qualities which can sustain a great friendship or splen- did dream We are tra-sophisticated, yet easily deluded. In the place or rest, appreciation, we have acquired unrest. We are like men who, while following the chase, have forgotten what is the quarry. If 1t is happiness we are pursuing, who knows but what she has doubled on her tracks and Is now behind us! Yet we strain breath lessly forward, never pausing to ask, "To what purpose?"
 Having become cogs in the great machine that we ourselves have build ed, how are we to snatch opportunity for thought, for contemplation, for the leisurely savoring of life, amid the ceaseless whirring of the wheels? Is mediocrity to be the price the race must pay for its civilization? The modern schedule leaves no time Tor the secretion of those bv-products Of the soul which give joy and distinc- ton to life. If the race continues to cut itself off more and more from this sustaining communion, where at last will we turn for leaders. or even for men?-W. c. Roberts, in Crafts man.

Cats as Human Food.

The Brussels correspondent of the New York Herald (Paris edition) notes that In Brussels cat Is consid- cred a delicious food in some classes. Workmen in breweries fatten cats and turn them into a stew.
 Edward Topsel, who wrote learned ly about the cat of his History of Four-footed beasts" was published in 1607-was of the opinion that the flesh of cats can seldom be free from poi son, "by reason of their daily food, eating rats and mice, wrens and other birds which feed on poison, and above all the brain of a cat is most poison ous, for it being above measure dry, stoppeth the animal spirits, that they cannot pass into the ventricle. by reason whereof memory faileth, and the infected person walleth into a Phrenzie." But Topsel was prejudiced against the cat. The people of Savu who lived the natural life when Capt Cook visited them, preferred cats to sheep and goats. In Germany many a cat has been sold for hare, and jugged cat has been relished there by foreign sojourners. The handsome daughter of a landlady far up in the Canton Vaud told us as a matter of course that when the snow was deep and communion was cut off, they all ate cats.

SUNSHINE NOT GOOD FOR ALL
Blonde Races Fail to Thrive In Cli-
 mate Like That of the Amer ican Northwest.

Charles E. Woodruff of Manila, P. l., discusses in the Medical Record the physical degeneration that is found to occur in north European races when they settle in the dry, bright atmos- phere of the American northwest. Although the first generation does well, the second one is feeble, easily attacked by tuberculosis and other chronic diseases, and the families die out in a few generations. The bru- nette races do well in bright sunshine, because they are accustomed to it, while the blondes are made nervous by 1t. But it is the northern blonde races that give us the strong brains that we need to perpetuate our na- tion, and these do not come from the brunette races of the south. It is i'm portant for us to preserve these blonde types, and to that end it is necessary that physicians should ad- wise them to keep from the influences that injure them. The best Aryan blood Is being wasted from our na tion at present. Scandinavian coloni zation is impossible in the tropics The average brain weight and intelli gence increase as we go north in Flu rope, and this brain weight does count We should favor the emigra tion of these northern races and pre- serve them as far as possible. West ern and southern Alaska furnish a climate that is congenial to them. AS a health resort for inconsistencies it is also of value, the cool, damp air being helpful and quieting to the nervous system.

SPENDS MILLIONS ON HORSES
Germany Leads the World in Impor' tation-Chiefly for Draught
 Purposes.

From some statistics published re- gently by M Ruan, the German min. ister of agriculture, the land of the kaiser leads the world in the matter of importing horses. In case of war the Germans are bound that they will be in possession of a liberal supply Of horses. For the last three years there has been a slight decrease, the cause being that home breeders are doing we'll In 1909 Germany i'm ported 119,000 horses at a cost of SEQ, 000,000. Most of the imports were made for draught purposes; light draught horses numbered 43.500 and were of the value of s4,500,000. The heavy draught horses numbered 48,- 800 and were of the value of $1O,0OO,- 900. Supplies of the former class were drawn principally from Russia. which sent 30,225 head; then came the Netherlands, with 9,024, Austria and Hungary accounted for 2,525, Den mark for 467 and the rest were drawn from France and Belgium. The heav- fest of the draught horses were main ly supplied from Belgium, 10000 be- ing imported at an average price of S310. Denmark delivered 16,309, France 5,S47, Austria and Hungary 3,369, Russia 2,051, the Netherlands GA and England only 125. In 1908 Germany imported 267 half-bred sires at an average cost of s1,02G, most of them being from Belgium. Saddle horses are put down as numbering 6,562, of which Austria supplied 2,946, against 1,227 from England These latter figures include the thorough breds The favorite market for cheap horses for Germany has been Russia, which country supplied 16,SSS at an average cost of $75.

LEFT AND RIGHT TELEPHONES
Hello" Girls Little Hint May Prove of Value to You in the
 Future.

"Right-handed people invariably put a telephone receiver up to their left ear and left-handed people to their right said one of the telephone hello" girls" We girls get to be psychologists in small way by talk ing over the telephone every day. It is impossible to keep from sizing up and classifying the people on the oth- CT end of the wire simply on a basis of what they say and how they say it. There are almost as many ways of talking into telephone as there are kinds of people who use the tele phone But it is, nevertheless, rather easy to classify them. One thing l have noticed is that the vast majority of people, being right-handed, hold the receiver in their left hand. The left ear, by long practice, thus becomes more acute and well trained. Conse- quently, when for any reason a man or woman takes the receiver in his or her right hand, it is comparatively easy to sense it at my end. The man is apt to speak nervously and dis jointedly. to talk too loud and to ask me to frequently repeat, showing that his ear-his wrong ear-is not serv- ing him with such fidelity and accu- racy as his more accustomed left. 1 had great difficulty in hearing a wom- an once, and so l asked: You are left handed, aren't you? Yes, she gasped. Then don't hold the tele
 phone quite so close to your mouth and put the receiver against your other ear She did, and we were able to hear each other perfectly"

Fancy Grapes Tied by Baby Ribbon

The eastern shipments of cluster, ettes," the new grape pack sent out this year by the California Fruit Ex change, utilized $3,6O0 worth of fancy baby ribbon. which If stretched in one piece would cover a distance of 25 miles
 The experiment proved success and the growers sending grapes east packed with fancy ribbon received much larger prices than those whose consignments went in the ordinary manner. Clusterettes go in the natur al form in large punches as picked from the vine, packed in specially con structed crates so the berries will not bruise-Sacramen correspondence San Francisco Chronicle.

HOW ONE COUNTY SUPT. DOES

HOW ONE COUNTY SUPT. DOES.
 County Superintendent O. H. Ben son of Wright county, Iowa, issued a circular to his teachers at the begin ming of the year, which contains sug- gestions valuable for teachers in other counties than his. The circular says:
 President Roosevelt is anxious to have the county superintendents and teachers take up a campaign shrdl teachers take up a cam paign for the betterment of our rural schools and country life in general. In this we are all interested and l be- lieve that you, as teacher, will be glad to carry out the following sug- gestions for your district: Call meeting of the friends and patrons of your district for some ev- ening during the week, appoint lead CTS before the meeting and have a dis cussion of the following subjects;
 1. Our rural schools, how can we make them of greater value?
 2. Why do so many farmer boys leave the farm for city life?
 8. Do we need better schools and equipment?
 4. How secure good roads? Value of King Drag to Wright county roads. 5. Farmers organizations for mu- tual benefit and protection.
 6. How secure better results from hired help on the farm?
 '. Better postal service in Rural districts.
 8. Cleanliness on the farm. 9. Stock feeding, time, method, etc. 10. Shall we reduce the number of school in our township from nine to l five and run a three-ro graded school in the center, and thus give ev- cry child an opportunity to take at least two years of high school work in the home school without tuition?- Normal Instructor.
 Some of the above subjects might be discussed with profit in Faulkner county, Arkansas, as well as in Wright county, Iowa. The first, sec ond and third especially invite our at tention.
 Few notes this month because we have been unable to find any in our local exchanges, nor have we been able to get many from our readers. Sure ly there are many interesting school items in all parts of the state that should find their way into the col umns of the Journal Let us hear from you, friends.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES
UNDER JIM CROW LAW

Louis Hallam VS.. Jackson Railway and
Power company is the style of a suit
for $4,000 filed in the circuit court here,
and is the first case on record where a
white man has sought damages under
the Jim Crow law.
Several negroes have attempted to
break through this barrier, but failed.
Mr.. Hallam, a Jackson attorney, Is on
the opposite tack and would enforce
its provisions to the letter. According
to the declaration Mr.. Haflam boarded
a street car on Emancipation Day and
found most of the seats reserved for
negroes the races being separated
simply by a signboard on the back Of

The contention Is that the law sepa-

McMurrdy Grew Rich Upon
The Wealth OF Indians
Gore Investigation Brings Out Further Facts Regarding Nc
Murrays Contracts-Total Amount of Expenses of His

q Million Dollars

nesota whether his work had not tended
to lead the Indians away from close re-
lationship with the government Mr. Nc

Indians have pledged themselves to pay
for attorneys has not yet been deter
mined by the committee. McMurray is
to be questioned further tomorrow.
