Artificial Ewes.

The earliest notice of artificial eyes
occurs in a very rare work by the
French surgeon Ambrose Pare. en-
titled LA Methode Curative des
Playes ct Fractures de Ia Teste HUI

has given way and all the humors
have escaped. They are to be seq.

Curious Course Of Training In Old
Time Girls Schools.
A letter recently unearthed from g
trunk shows that in the sixties Of the,
last century principals of girls schools
thought they were fitting the girls for
society by urging them to retain small
waists. Accordingly they offered
prizes to the girls having the smallest
waists. The girls were put through a
course Of training for reducing their
waist measure. The conditions of the
contest were that the corset should
not be removed on retiring at night
and that each pupil must be inspected
every morning to make sure she had
not lcosened Der corset One of the
persons who engaged in the contest
afterward wrote Of it:
"Some of us tried hard to be Der.
mitted to retire from the contest. but
we were rebuked for stultifying our.
selves and accused of making fools OF
our principals. On the following

Southern Governors and Mandy
[Des Moines Ga) News.l


Nine Southern gentlemen met in
New Orleans to see if they couldn
devise a way of raising the price of
cotton-and Mandy, 800 miles away,
black by nature, happy by the same,
busily picking the cotton itself
The price of cotton is a big ques-
ton for governors, but Mandy is much
more concerned in getting enough for
her and her pickannines to eat and
calico clothes to wear.
Let's visit with Mandy as she picks
the raw cotton-the same kind that
went to make the calico dress which
surrounds her generous frame.
What happens to the cotton between
the time it is raw. as Mandy picks it.
and the time it is manufactured into
cloth, as Mandy wears it?
That's the problem the governors
ought to take up. But they don't.
There's fourteen yards of cloth in
this dress" says\Nandy, and | paid
seven cents yard for the cloth.
That's ninety-eight cents"
1t took two pounds of cotton to
make NIandy's dress Mandy got about
q cent for picking the two pounds
The farmer got about sixteen cents
fer it. 1t cost the manufacturer and
merchant twenty cents to get the two
pounds of cotton into Mandy's black
hands. ready for sewing.
That accounts for thirty-seven cents
If the ninety-eight cents which Mandy

White county today to deliver the
opening speech in his campaign for
reelection. His successor will be
chosen by the legislature to be elect
ed next year and an interesting contest
is in prospect.
The situation has been somewhat
simplified by the announcement OF
Governor Donaghey that he would be
a candidate for denomination. For a
long time doubt existed in the minds
of the politicians as to whether the
governor would try for another term
or become a candidate for senator.
His decision in the matter has left the
senatorial contest straight race be-
tween Senator JEFF Davis and former
Congressman Stephen Brundidge, Jr.,
who is expected to be his only OPP
ponent. Mr.. Brundidge represented
the Second district in congress for
ten years and has a strong following
