Piping For School Here

The piping for the water mains has arrived and we are as sured that work will begin Mon day morning in laying the pipe to the school building. This work will be rapidly pushed and as soon as the water is turned on the building will be occupied.
 The seats are already down and all is waiting on the water. An invitation has been extended for some time for patrons to visit the building and a great many have been over it.
 Notwithstanding the council voted motion to have ,Pittman submit the contract between the water com mittee and Moore and Martin at the next meeting of the couucil, this will not stop or deter sthe work of putting down the pipe as the fair minded men who constitute the council will not object. There will not be another regular meeting of the council until the first Tuesday night in February.
 Farmers in town today from the Sutton neighborhood state that the bridge work through the Carouse bottom is completed and thot work on the leve is so far progressed that they are en- abled to cross on same. This piece of road has cost the county a considerable sum of money and we are glad to learn that it is now finished up in a good substantial way.

A Seventeenth Century Cookbook

follows the reason for the invention of

selves to as much soup as they may
want without being obliged to take 1t
spoonful by spoonful because of the
disgust they may have for one another
on seeing the spoon go from the mouth
to the tureen.
Guests, it will be seen, used their
own spoons to fill their plates, the
large spoon to be used for serving the
soup not being invented till some time
later.
Yet even hundred years after the
invention Of the soup plate Q749) a
work on civility advised that all the
dishes should be so placed on the table
that every one could reach them with
his spoon and that if the soup was
served in a dish fureen) every one
should help himself with his OWL
spoon without seeming to be in a hurry
A work on manners that appeared
just before the French revolution
deemed it best to advise its readers
that it was impolite to pass the spoon
back and forth between the mouth and
the tureen.

FORCE OF LIGHTNING.
An Ordinary Stroke Is About Equal t
Fifty Thousand Horsepower.


Fifty Thousand Horsepower.
Frequently surprise is expressed at
the effect of stroke of lightning
which splinters a large tree or wrecks
a tall chimney, but if the enormous
power developed by an ordinary stroke
of lightning is taken into considera-
ton the wonder will be that the effect
is so small.
Scientists estimate that an ''ordi-
nary stroke of lightning is of $4,000
horsepower. That is force sufficient to
drive the largest battleship ever built
at top speed. The lightning stroke,
however, travels at a speed Of 10000
miles per second. We think we see a
flash of lightning, but as a matter Q.
fact what we see is only the memory
Of fash. The electrical current has
been absorbed by the earth long before
we are conscious Of having seen the
fash. A person struck by a direct
fash would never see it.
The average electromotive force of 8
''bolt' Of lightning is about 100000
volts, and the current is 100000 am
peres. In such "bolt' there is energy
equal to 2,45O,0O0 volts, or 3,284,1S2
horsepower. Some day a wizard will
arise who will capture and bind a
"bolt'' of lightning and with it turn all
the wheels of a great city.
The time required for the discharge
of "bolt" of lightning is about one
twenty-thousandth of a second.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Difficult Horseback Feat.


There are no better horsemen in the
world than the cavalry officers Of the
Italian army, yet even among them
there are very few who could perform
the feat achieved by one of them. To
run an ordinary foot race is easy
enough, but to run at full speed for
several hundred yards holding in one
hand a spoon on which rests an egg
and to reach the goal without dropping
the egg is feat which must be prac-
ticed carefully long time before it
can be performed successfully, and as
result there are not many who can
be sure of accomplishing it whenever
they try. Great, therefore, was the
surprise when an Italian officer mount
ed on horseback performed this diff
cult feat. Moreover, he selected a
course in which there were two or
three high fences, and these he cleared
at full gallop without losing the egg.

SIGNED IN A HURRY.
Curious incident That Brought the
Savaqes to Terms.

Curious Incident That Brought the
Savages to Terms.
The ambassador who would protect
his country's rights must exercise tact
and call into use the deepest learning.
And, after all, his plans may be frus-
trated or unexpectedly furthered by
some happening entirely beyond his
control. In a biography Of Sir Robert
Hart, Juliet Bredon instances a treaty
without parallel as a case Of good
luck. '..-s.
During one Of those terrible storms
which periodically sweep the shores
Of Formosa an American vessel was
wrecked and the crew eaten by the
aborigines. The nearest American
consul thereupon journeyed inland to
the savage territory in order to make
terms with the cannibals for future
emergencies.
Unfortunately the chiefs refused to
listen and would have nothing to do
with the agreement prepared for their
signature.
The consul was irritated by their OBJ
stinacy. He had a bad temper and a
glass eye, and when he lost the first
the second annoyed him. Under great
stress of excitement he occasionally
slipped the eye out for moment, rub
bed it violently on his coat sleeve, then
as rapidly replaced it. This he did
there in the council hut, utterly for
getful of his audience and before a
soul could say the Formosan equiva-
lent of "Jack Robinson
The chiefs paled, stiffened, shudder-
ed with fright. One with more pres
ence Of mind than his fellows called
for pen.
Eyes, quick, a pen" the word passed
from mouth to mouth. No more obsti-
macy, no more hesitation; all Of them
clamored to sign, willing, even eager,
to yield to any demand that a man
gifted with the supernatural power of
taking out his eye and replacing it at
pleasure might make.

NOTHING to Do.

The following bit, quoted from Lord
Cromer by Helen Barrett Montgomery
in her "Western Women In Eastern
Lands" presents a picture Of the mo-
notony and deprivation of the life Of
the Egyptian lady that pages of statis-
tics might fail to convey: The seclu-
sion of women exercises a most bane-
full influence on eastern society. This
seclusion by combining the sphere Of
woman's interest to a very limited no.
rizon cramps the intellect and withers
the mental development of one-half the
population Of Moslem countries.
An EnglishwOman once asked an
Egyptian lady how she passed her
time.
II sit on this sofa,' she replied, "and
when am tired cross over and sit
on that"
