Church Theaters.

Few people know that plays in Eng
land, Germany, Italy and France were
fostered for religious purposes by the
church centuries before they were TAX
en- up as a separate secular business.
Moreover, few visitors to st. PauPs
cathedral, in London, realize that that
church during Elizabeth's reign and
the first years of the reign of James
l. set aside one Of its adjacent build
ings for use as a secular theater. Its
little stage was famous, and the COM
pany of choir boys as actors presented
many of the great plays of Shake
speare's time. They acted from about
1893 to 1908 under the management
of Edward Pierce, their great master
in music, who as church almoner had
business control of these adjacent
buildings owned by the church.-Lon-

NATURAL MEASURES.
The Hand, the Pace and the cubit of
the Scriptures.

Inc F1dnuI tne race dHu IHS Supit OF
the Scriptures.
The first natural measurement" to
which the memory naturally recurs is
the hand, four inches, employed in
determining the height of horses. This
measure is, of course, derived from
the breadth Of the palm, and it has
become so well fixed in popular esteem
that it is unlikely it will ever be super
seeded.
Another popular natural measure is
the pace, and probably every country
man who has had to do with land has
used it. The usual method is to stride
off, taking as long steps as possible,
calling each pace yard.
A natural measure much employed
by a dressmaker is the yard as de-
termined by stretching the material to
be measured between her chin and
her outstretched hand, or If it be
matter of inches she will fold the
Bonded upper joint of her thumb along
the cloth. These natural measures are
generally close enough to serve all
practical purposes.
For many hundreds of years there
was employed the measure of the fore
arm from point Of elbow to tip Of mid
die finger. This was the cubit of the
Bible.-St. Louis Republic.

But little if any thing is being done
by people in town TO suppress the white
fly pest which is attacking the orange
trees, and which, if not fought vigorous.

orange and other citrus fruit trees and
much of the ornamental Shrubbery in
our home grounds. If the people who
have but an acre or more of trees would
organize and club together to fight this
pest, much could be accomplished to
mitigate its ravages. The big growers
can afford TO fight ii alone-the small
growers should unite and divide the ex-
penSc.

the check was for the dividend, less the

TO be declared in August, and the execu-

was done at time of sowing the
seed. One hundred pounds of
dirt per acre gave as good re-
suits as a greater amount. If a
manure spreader is used in scat
tering the manure, a small
amount Of the dirt may be
sprinkled over each load before
it is hauled to the field thereby
saving additional labor in scatter
ing.
During the first season after
the young alfalfa plants have
attained a height of three or four
inches, it is a good practice to
harrow the field in order to
loosen up the soil and conserve
moisture. AS the crop grows
older, narrowing and dlSklng
may be continued at needed in
tervals when the soil becomes
hard and dry. Disking not only
splits the crown of the plants
and causes it to branch more
freely, but it also stimulates a
more vigorous growth.
The best strains of alfalfa are
the Grim, northern Montana
grown, common, and certain
strains of the Turkestan. The
seed grown under dry land cul-
ture is preferable to that grown
under irrigation.

It Takes \ Wise Man To Play Tn,
 Fool in \ Modern Circus.

Tt takes brains 10 play the fool. =
 So the equestrian director of the John Robinson Show said when asked concerning clowns and clowning.
 T have been in the circus business all ny life, and during that interest ing period have, like an actor. played many parts. l have made a close study of the profession and partic- diary the clown department. for there IS nothing to circus without q clown.
 It has come under my observation that the brairiest performers always make the best clowns and produce fun that k not only wholesome. but makes the man. no matter how discontented with tie world, forget his troubles temporarily and dissolve lis hardened features into a grin. When you com- pare the actor with the clown, the latter has a handicap regarding his methods and his facilities of bringing forth laughs.
 The actor has the author to thank nine times out of ten for some fat part. Then too, he is enabled 10 say things that produce fun and which are not his own. But take the man behind the whitened face and he has nothing to help him but his gestures.

PREPARING FOR FALL TERM
Grand and Petit Jurymen selected Tor Term. Crowded Civil and

The Fall term of Circuit Court conyenes here on Monday. September Is, and on that day Judge II N Hut ton will begin the clearing Of one Of the most crowded civil and criminal doekets that his court has had to deal with in this county for number of years.
 There are at present confined ln the county jail here fourteen or fifteen prisoners. all cOl1red, with one ex- ception. white man by the name q ]. Nj. Haggard. WA0 k charged with assault. Five negroes are charged with murder, and the balance of the prisoners are facing trials for various ofTenses against the peace and dignity of - Francis Cuauty and the State Of Arkansas, such as grand larceny assaul, to kill, forgery, etc. Besides 1he five accused of murder who are now languishing Tn the county bastiie. there are twelve or thirteen other negroes and one white man out 0n bond or al large, ,who wil probably be tried on the same charges. And the civil docket k in practically the same crowded condition
 And on top of this condition and with the large amount Of work that Is to be done with this county's crim- inals and litigants, the court this term has again 10 try the famous Me Alister case, which was tried here al the spring term on change of venue from Lee county, and in which yer dict of guilty was rendered and the accused sentenced 10 hang on July 7th.
