The WANDERING Jew.

Matthew Paris and Roger Wendover
identified the Wander Jew as Carta-
philus. a porter in the household Of
Pontius PLATE. Other authorities
identify him as Ahasuerus, cobbler
Of Jerusalem. The legend is far older
than the events which it proposes as
its central feature. In the course Of
its popularity throughout the middle
ages It has acquired many foreign ele-
ments by accretion.

Fish-curers and experts state that
they have never seen this species be-

School Notes.

Everything in the normal room
is now going like a goal worth
while was in sight. With the
proceeds of the Old Fiddlers'
contest we have ordered our
manikin, together with many
needed school appliances, and
the pupils seem to be working on
borrowed inspiration. When we
get our manikin, school clock and
other "trimins' we will then be
much more able to do the work
that is now our lot than we are
at present.
Some of our interested friends
seem to not exactly understand
what. the manikin is and for their
benefit we will explain that it is
a physiology chart especially
made for teaching that branch.
Ut is shaped like the human body
aad is five feet eight inches high,
and folds each way from the
middle, opening like a book and
showing every part of the hui
man body in its natural colors.
With it physiology becomes one
of the most interesting studies
of the whole course. 1t will, so
far as we know, be the first one
introduced into.t .theschools of this
! part of the country. This one
did not cost as much as we ex-
,pected; the average price being
.$25.00.

Hair Fabrics.

In the manufacture of hair fabrics
the hair is reduced to paste by a sol
vent and all kinds of hair and fibers
are used. The paste is run through
an artificial silk spinner and drawn
from the spinner in threads. Some of
these are yard or more in length.
They can be braided or woven like ar

trict. The Red river landing gauge
registered 500 feet, four tenths above
the record. A rise OF sixteen inches in

No new weak places were reported
in the Torras levees yesterday. The
boils in the levee are still spoutinS

to stop the holes. Turnbull island
opposite Torras, is inundated, some
of the residents erecting platform in
their dwellings to keep above the
flood.
The water last night in the vicinity
Of Vicksburg, Miss, was reported still
rising at flooded points in the upper
delta country and more trouble and
suffering is expected from that sec
ton. The health in the refugee camps
is reported generally good.
There are $4,000 persons getting
government rations in the Vicksburg

FIRST DISTRICT.

Tampa, April 2s.-Reports from
Hlllsborough, Polk, DeSoto, Lee,
Manatee, Pinellas, Citrus, Levy, Her
nando, Osceola and Monroe counties,
from what may be considered reliable
sources, tend to show that Woodrow
Wilson will have a splendid majority
over Oscar W. Underwood In South
Florida
Some of the counties will give him
two to one over Underwood. The
vote in Hillsborough county will be
largely for Wilson, and this notwith-
standing the fact that Underwood
money has been lavishly spent in this
section.
The Democrats of South Florida
have been fully apprised of the deal
whereby the influence of Harmon and
Clark was thrown to Underwood SO
that the Alabama man might be used
as a stalking horse to secure delegates
for the Ohoian or Missourian in a
state where Wilson would easily be a
winner in race in which the names of
all Democratic candidates for the
presidency were voted upon, as would
have been the case had Chairman
Price followed the instructions of the
state committee

SECOND DISTRICT.

Jacksonville, April 29.-The outlook
is very encouraging. People seemed
naturally to be for Wilson. The I'm
derwood crowd has been furnished
with lots of money from out of the
state hut they came into the field too
late for it to help them much. At first
they tried the argument that Under
wood was a Southerner, but it fell fat
because Wilson was born in Virginia,
educated IN several southern states,
and married a Georgia girl.
Then when the Harmon candidates
put on Underwood masks and Harmon
did not qualify, it plainly appeared
that the Underwood men had a secret
understanding with the Harmonites.
Governor Wilson himself came here
and spoke to an overf1owing house and
his Democratic bearing and his con-
vincing speech won him hundreds of
votes.

convention instructed in favor Of the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson, of
whom they said: His nomination, in
our deliberate judgment, means sue
cess whether Taft or Roosevelt is the
Republican nominee, whereas the
nomination of either of the gentlemen
opposing him means uncertainty and
probable danger of defeat"
Notwithstanding the fact that Gov
ernor Harmon and Speaker Clark are
running in tandems in Texas, infor-
nation reaching Washington is to the
eff ect that Governor Wilson will get
the delegation from the Lone Star
State, which VIII have forty votes in
the Baltimore convention.
Governor Wilson continues to make
an almost unanimous sweep Of the
state of Michigan. which will unques-
