BRANDING Criminals.

Paraffin injections are new method
FOR branding criminals which a DR..
fcard of Paris invented and about
which he Is exceedingly enthusiastic.
The doctor proposes that small guam.
tity of paraffin shall be injected under
the skin of every convicted person
This forms a slight hump, which re
mains the rest of the persons life
without the least danger TO his health
A detective arresting such a man, or
even before arrestiug him, would OH
feeling the hump, know him instantly
for IN old offender. DIR. Icard thinks
that. in accordance with his scheme, u
regular language of signs might be
prearranged by means Of the paraifin
hump. Thus, for example, it would be
agreed all over the world that the right
shoulder blade should be reserved fos
operations upon confirmed criminals.
The area thus defined would be diyiF
ed into three parts The upper wGuis
be reserved for very dangerous
criminals, The middle for dangerous
and the lowe" for less dangerous

Cuttinn the Kaiser'S Hair.

A Vienna barber named DuTrmann
had the time Of his life when he was
suddenly called to operate on the EN-
peror William during the latter's re-
cent stay In the Austrian capital. The
vatet who usually cuts the imperial
hair had injured his arm; hence the
substitution. The kaiser talked un-
iutcrruptediy while his hair was being
cut and asked Durrmanu about his
former customers. The barber boaste,.
that he had cut the hair OF Francis
Joseph and King Edward. not to men
tton minor royalties.
"And which is easier" asked the
kaiser, cutting the air Of kings or
their subjects?"
with kings it is easier" said the
barber.
why is that?' asked the kaiser.
Because on an average they are
older and have less hair TO cut" re-
piled the barber
The kaiser laughed and said: "Coms
to me In Berlin in few years time;
| guess you'll have an easy job then
Durrmann was vastly amused by
two grave ylsaged flunkeys who held
In napkins the imperial hairbrush,
comb, scissors and other accessories.
They bowed soiemnly every time an
article was taken up for use.-New

WEATHER AND CROPS
Past Week Has Been Very Favor
able Throughout Cotton Belt.

Picayune May %: The past week
has experienced very favorable
weather throughout the cotton belt
There has been very title rain Tia
p 90 ipitation having iD1en confined
to local showers. The absence of
rain has given farmers the needc,!
opportunity to complete pllntinS
and thoroughly clean the fields of
weeks and grass, while the season.
ao!c temperature has given the crop
good start in the way of growth.
As result of the two weeks Of rood
weather excellent reports as to ,he
condition Of the crop are being re-
ceived from practically all parts Of
the bell.
There has been some complaint
from Fnw districts of lack of rain,
but this condition prevails in only
a very Few places, and it may cas-
onably be doubted if any actual
harm has been done, particularly
as at this season of the year it is not
likely that the needed rain will be-
long delayed. It is generally admit
yAd that no acreage has had to be-
abandoned 50 far on account Of
grass and weeds or any other cause,
which is rather an exceptional con-
dition.
With the crop practically all
planted, the question of acreage in
crease is attracting general atten-
tion. That there has been a consid-
cradle increase is freely admitted,
and although this increase has been
greater in some states than i'll 9TH
ers, it has been general, as there Is
o general desire to produce a large
crop this season, il being realized
that such crop is actually needed
TO meet the worlds increasing re-
quirements and restore exhausted
reserve supplies.
According te all accounts the corn
crop and grain crops generally
throughout the south are making
excellent progress and liberal yields
are indicated. Despite the increased
area devoted to cotton, farmers are
mol neglecting crop diyersincation.
and have even added to their corn
acreage. From the. rice sections all
reports indicate that the crop is
making good progress and promises
a good yield with The proper wealth
or during the summer.

where she had gone to be under the
treatment OF specialist Of interna-
tional reputation. in speaking of her
trip and the cure which had been ac.

brusque and not overpolite man. had
much to say In criticism of Americans

Is imprisoned on q little bit Of terri
tory and can never leave 1t till the end
of his days unless he first sacrifices
his patrimony. His name Is Eben-
stein. lie Is a minor, and he inherits
his property from grandfather who
as Hapoverian fought against the
Prussians in 1866. Old Ebenstein new
er forgave the brutal Prussian and In
his will tied up his property with the
condition that the tenant for life
should never set foot on Prussian soil
But as Prussia surrounds Brunswick,
Ebenstein can never get out Of 1t with
out losing his money. What is worse,
Prussia divides Brunswick into Ave
isolated parts. all Of which it sur
rounds. and young Ebenstein lives IN
one of the smallest parts and cannot
even visit Brunswick city without
crossing Prussian soil, violating the
will and letting his money go to
remote undeserying cousin. - London

That the mahdi has never been seen

foot of the white manor Of the cam
el which he was riding has never
penetrated more than few miles into

the faithful hive seen their chief. AT
the prayer shrine in which he holds
council, where he issues his orders and
is worshiped as an inspired prophet,
he Is hidden behind a curtain. and
merely his hand. stretched forth to be
kissed, Is visible. Only on the very
