AMERICAN MANNERS ABROAD
Country Drink Cocktails With
Cold Potato Chips.

American manners rule at Dinard. "
says the English Sketch, "and trans
Atlantic tastes are catered for on the
Casino terrace, where the band plays
daily an assortment of ragtime two
steps and a procession of assiduous
walters brings cocktails at noon to
the idlers in basket chairs, who never
seem to tire of staring at each other
THE men gulp down their dry Mar
TINS without accompaniment, but the
pretty American women drink theirs
with cold fried potato chips, sin
gular form of nourishrnent which it
Is the mode at Dinard to convey to
your mouth with natures utensil, your
fingers.
THUS the most dazzling beauties of
Dinard-including those who are love
ly and youthful enough to wear the
new poke bonnet-may be seen toy
Ing with this homely vegetable in just
this primeval manner Wonderful are
the ways of fashion, for nothing more
unlikely could have been conceived
than that beautiful ladies should
drink gin and vermouth in public
while helping themselves to cold fried
potatoes with their bare, beringed
hands"

In st. Louis three boys of well-to-do
parenS were brought before magis-
trate, charged with maliciously dam
aging the public playground apparatus
when it was first installed. The magis-
trate might have imposed a money
fine, t1t instead, says the Twentieth
Centur Magazine, he sentenced the
boys to work on the playground on Sat
urday afternoons until the work done
equaled the value of the property de-
stroyed

FACTS ABOUT
BOIL WEEVIL
Address Of Interest to Farmers by
Special Agent Alford-How the
WeeviIs Grow.

Special Agent Afford, of the United
States Agricultural Department, has
issued an address to the farmers per-
tanning to the boil weevil. Since one
of the little pests was found in this
county last week, the address should
be of special interest to the farmers
of this section, and cause them to
take the necessary steps to prevent the
calamity producing insects from max
ing Roadway in this section.
Mr. Affords address pertaining to
the boil weevil is given below:
Mr.. Affords Address.
1.-THE boil weevil passes the winter
in the adult stage. The boil weevil
eggs, the larvae, and the pupae do not
survive the winter.
1.-THE weevils remain dormant during
the winter except on very warm days.
The weevils not very well protected,
often move about to certain extent
on especially warm days.
"The weevils begin to emerge from
the winter quarters from March 1 to
18th. DR.. Hunters experiments show
that in 1906 the weevils emerged from
winter quarters from winter quarters
from February Is to July l.
when the overwhelmed weevils
first appear in the spring they eat the
tender leaflets of the terminal buds
of the young cotton. The weevils car
live on the tender leaves, but the!
cannot breed or multiply until thu
squares begin to form on the cotton
After the squares begin to form the.
feed upon the squares and seldom
puncture hollis as long as squares ar
} abundant.

Careful of His Gun,

In one Of the small mountain towns
of Kentucky lived Dan, a half wit,
with whom the boys often went hunt
ing. On one of these trips Dan and the
young man with him were between
two hills when a rabbit jumped up in
front of them and ran up the hill to
Dams right. The other fellow, being
on Dams left, did not wish to take the
chance of shooting at the rabbit for
fear of an accident, so he said: There
he goes. Dan! Shoot him. shoot himw
But Dan simply stood still and watch
ed the rabbit disappear over the hill,
and his partner wanted to know why
he didn't shoot. After moments 81
lence he answered, talking through his
nose: Did you take me for a fool?

squares form on the cotton. Probably
more than SO per cent of the over
wintered weevils emerge from winter
quarters before the squares begin to
form. If the weevils are all picked off
the little cotton until squares are nu-
merous, a majority of the over-winter-
ed weevils will be destroyed. One
pair less early in the spring means
millions less later in the season.

Good Way to Mend a Rug Fringe.

If your rug has torn fringe do not
put it in the attic, but mend the fringe
1t is very easy to do and well worth
your pains.
Cut off all the fringe, get piece of
pasteboard four inches square and
wind around it yarn of color to
match the rug. Wind the yarn one
way around the pasteboard five or six
times and slip it off Then put one
end of the yarn through the end of
the rug and pull the other end through
and clinch it Keep this up until you
get all the way across the end of the
rug If only Il little torn aud you can
match the fringe exactly you do not
need to cut off all that is there. This
method of course is equally good for
any fabric fringe

MORE STORMS
ON The COAST
Trains of |. & N. Continue to be De-
toured Through Hattiesbura-
, May Cease Today.

New Orleans, La, May Sowing to
the repeated storms on the gulf coast,
the work of repairing the damage done
the bridge Of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, over the Rigolets, has
been seriously interferred with, and 1t
was found necessary by the company
to abandon the ferrying of passengers
over the water altogether. The ex-
pertinent of taking the passengers over
the river on the steamer Ossining was
tried Sunday, but weather conditions
were such that it was thought better
to dispense with the steamboat SER
vice, and detour all trains in and out
of New Orleans by the New Orleans
and Northeastern and the Gulf and
Ship Island railroads, through Hatties-
burg and Gulfport.
Sunday the big forces employed In
repairing the bridge could do very
little work because of the storm, and
only nine piles were driven, when forty
should have been placed.
The company has every reason to be-
lieve that the bridge will be in shape
for trains by Thursday, that is if the
weather settles down into the usual
spring calmness.
