tenn. Quite ludicrous discovery Of this
sort was made by the Empress Cath
crime. who was the mother Of that EN-.
peror Paul who was assassinated in
1901. Catherine at one time was in
spired by some passing within Of econ
omy to scrutinise the imperial house
keeping accounts. To her amazement.
she found among other queer items that
"one bottle of rum daily" was charged
to the heir apparent Inasmuch as her
son, Naslednik. then young man. had
never evinced any signs Of Incorporate
habits, his mother was greatly as
tonished. Going over the accounts to
ascertain how long this sort of thing
had been enduring. she found to her
still greater establishment that the said
expenditure went back to the day Of
his birth. and. indeed. far beyond it.
So. 1t appeared, the heir to the
throne had not only been charged with
drinking over thirty dozen bottles of
fne Jamaica rum ever since he was
born. but for long time before that.
It is hardly necessary to add that the
empress made a thorough investiga-
ton of this queer entry. Finally, by
the aid Of an antiquarian. she at last
reached the original entry.
A century or 50 before the imperial
physician had prescribed for the Mas
lednik of the period, ION account Of a
violent toothache, a teaspoonful Of
rum. to be taken with sugar" This
dose was given for several days in
succession, and the nurse in charge
had deemed it more fitting to the I'M
perial dignity. as we'll as more profit
able to herself, to purchase a new bot
tie Of rum each day. No one had ever
given the order to discontinue the pur-
chase, and it had gone on for q cen.
fury. the rum having constituted one
Of the perquisites Of the court nurse.
When Bismarck during the term of
his mission as ambassador at st.
Petersburg was walking one after
noon in the summer garden he met the
emperor. who invited the diplomatist
to continue his stroll with him. Soon
Bismarck noticed a sentry stationed
in the middle of large grass plot He
asked what the soldier was doing
there The car did not know. The
aid-de-camp did not know. So inquiry
was made of the sentry himself.
'It is ordered" was his reply.
Every official gave the same an
swer, ut is ordered" but nobody
knew by whom. A sentry had always
stood guard in the middle of that In.
nocent grass plot The archives were
searched. but in vain. Finally an aged
official was found who gave the ex-
PLANTATION. He had had It from his
father that the Empress Catherine
had once seen a snowdrop ready to
bloom in that plot and had ordered a
sentry to stand guard and allow no
one to pluck it For more than a cen.
fury the watch had been maintained
because ut was ordered" and because
no one had ever dreamed of disobeying
the order or questioning any ono as to
the reason therefor.-New York Press.

Letters to the Editor
Cattle Tick Remedies

To the Editor of The Age-H Herald:
 I have been reading of late quite a good deal with reference to the strides that are being made to eradicate the tick evi1," and I have been hoping that formula would appear for the benefit of those whose cows are thus afflicted. I have a valuable COW and I notice she has a pretty fair crop of ticks of all sizes, and I take this method of asking someone who has experience, if they will not be kind enough to furnish one, or all, of cur home papers with a remedy that will destroy these pests. In this connection I wish to state that when I was boy on the farm I remember that our cows, as well as the cows of our neighbors, were full of ticks more or less, most of the time, and nothing was thought Of 1t. Now, it may be that the ticks which, the government has reference to is a different species. and that the tick which I am acquainted with is harmless.
 Will you, MT. Editor. if I am not ask ing too much, be kind enough to fur nsh me with the information desired :? I am, yours very truly,

Birmingham, June 21.-(7 p. m)- Rain fell again today over the greater portion of the gulf and South Atlantic states the amounts being light at most places, but a heavy shower, l. AS inches, fell at New Orleans. A con- diton of moderate showers prevailed also in the Rocky mountains, north crn plateau states and along the Can adian border. These showers are the product of the low barometric condi- tions in those parts and where the barometer read high as in the middle Atlantic states, Ohio and upper Mis- sIppl valleys. almost cloudless weather has been the rule,
 Temperatures were above 90 degrees in the plains states, middle Mississippi valley and a narrow area including Ken lucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia, as well as in few local dis tricts. Weather somewhat cooler than the normal is prevailing over most of the cotton belt, condition principally due to the cloudy and showery weather of the past few days.

APPOINTMENT
Of Dr. Simpson Meets With General
 Approval

His appointment does not disturb conditions as the selection of one of the pastors in charge might have done. His appointment will not conflict with his duties as president of the col lege, but will add to his many duties the responsibility of the presiding elder ship.
 Dr. Simpson Is much beloved through out the district and 1t is stated he has never yet found a call to duty impos- sbie or task too great when the interest of his church has been involved. The appointment Is of temporary nature, however, and he will be relieved at the next meeting of the general conference of North Alabama.
 Many expressions of approval of the appointment were made yesterday by Methodist pastors of the local district.
