The temperance folks say that one
rlust avoid all appearance of evil,
and the Marion county man who
tried to convert whisky barrel into
a receptacle to catch rain water is
no doubt converted to the idea. He
put hot iron rod through the bar
rel to make bung hole, and the al
cohol that still clung to the barrel
caused an explosion and when the
smoke of battle had cleared away the
ncighbOrs rushed in and took the
remnants of the gentleman to a hos
pital where he is now being patched
up, and where no doubt he has come
to the conclusion that he don't want
rain water anyway.

WIND.

Wind is air in notion Air gets
into motion when it leaves one place
or starts for another Many excel
lent reasons are advanced for this.
l. is explained that when it is warm
one place the air rushcs in to fill
the vacancy caused by the rarcfac-
ton, and when it is cold some place
else the air rushes there for SOM
reason which has escaped us.
Wind is used for running pipe or
gans and campaigns. Also 1t runs
sailing vessels and mining stock
companies.
Wind is very annoying to ladies
who wear the recent clinging, thin
garb. 1t annoys them SO that they
walk up and down the windiest
streets all the time just to show the
wind that it needn't think it can
keep them indoors. The same wind
that fans the fevered brow of pain,
that croons a lullaby through the
pines. that moves the majestic ships
through the sea-that same wind
will snatch your new $l.97 straw
hat from your head and ruin il in
the dust of the street.
When unusually warmed, wind be
comes hot air This variety of wind
is most helpful to book agents, in
surance solicitors. candidates and
gentlemen who want to borrow
money Chicago Post.

Our Summer Climate

There Is no doubt about this being the greatest district in the country said l.. P. Hill. We have the resources and we certainly have the climate.
 "So far our summer has been ex- ceptionally agreeable. We have had only few days of hot weather Last Saturday I went up to the Bluff Park hotel on Shades mountain and found 1t uncomfortably cold. The lady guests had on wraps and requested the pro- prietor to have fire built. so he had a rouslng fire and it was comfortable.
 Birmingham is the place to enjoy the best climate in America. There is no use of our citizens leaving for sum mer resorts in the north. for we are surrounded by summer resorts that are equal to any in the country"

BURMESE PAGODAs

Eight or nine miles below Manda- lay, in Burma, the right bank of the Irrawaddy is hilly, and in the neigh borhood of the old Burmese town of Sagaing the hills are dotted all over with pagodas. These are not temples, says writer in the September Wide World Magazine. but are built by pious people as offerings to the Supreme Power, it being generally believed that such acts of devotion count to the builders credit in the next world. The pagodas are of all kinds. according to the means of the builders, from prim- itive whitewashed structures to or nate erections with grotesque silded lions. The lions have various mean ings, but stand chiefly as reminder of unselfish devotion. An ancient Bur mese legend. taught to all Burmese children. is that of a iioness who nursed and guarded the baby son of a King
 and who died of a broken heart when the prince grew up and went away.

MT. Underwood explains in detail each bill and fully justifies the state ment that the saving in thecost ot living would have reached $740,00O,- 900. Because this sum is indirect tax ation no one knows exactly where or when he pays part of it, but the fact nevertheless remains that the saving would have been just about $S for every man, woman and child in the country. Comparatively little of the tariff taxation goes into the treas ury. As rule it goes into we'll stuffed pockets of the privileged few, The total per capita indirect taxation of the tariff for the benefit of the few is indeed heavy and it adds large ly to the cost of living.
 Mir. Underwood shows that on a national consumption aggregating ir value $2O,360, 100000 the consumers
  paid a tax of $2,226, ,91O, ,473; of which amount only s309,5s1,s44 went last year into the treasury, and S1,916,. 42S,529 went into the pockets of tho Sons of Privilege. The average fam. fly, in other words, paid $16.3O into Athe treasury and $10O.S5 into private hockets. Since the passage, of the Ungley tariff bill the trusts have be. come thousands in number, and theil combined capital exceeds eight billions of dollars, and nearly every one oi them is based on the tariff and is engaged in exploiting the home con. sumner.
 No speech fuller of interestinp facts can be found than that of MT Underwood. It should be widely cir. culated. It is printed in full in the Congressional Record for August 21 and any voter can get a copy of if by writing to his representative ir Congress.

After a Century and a Quarter

Privilege got big bump when the parcels-post act became law last Saturday night. It is a part of the postoffice appropriation bill. The zone plan of Senator Bourne was adopted, and an 11-pound package can be carried from one end of the country to the other for S1.32. It can be carried 50 miles for 35 cents, or 150 miles for 46 cents.
 The zone plan may not prove ac- ceptable in the long run. This is, however, broad country, and what is good in Switzerland or England or even Germany may ,,et be desirable here. Germany carries no pounds for 60 cents and France carries 22- pound parcels for 25 cents.
 The rates in the new bill may he too high. They may be otherwise objectionable. It does not much mat. ter if they are. We have at any rat, secured beginning on which We car build, and the express companies hay, Host their grip even on the United States Senate. New York no longe, sends two senators down to Wash. ington to fight a parcels post. Tn, people are coming into their own al the end of 125 years of privilege ane favdr and private greed.

IN HOTEL LOBBTES
German Article on Birmingham

cone of the most interesting articles on Birmingham appeared recently in a Frankfurt daily paper, written by a German government engineer who vis- tied this district not long since said a member of the Turn yerein. T hap pened to meet Chiles Clifton Terrell, Ph. D., Leipzig, this week and found him engaged in translating the report for The Age Herald. The article in question being from the pen of scien- tiflc man, only a scholar could put 1t Into correct English. In every large city there are. of course. many edu- cated men who can read German cas- fly and who can translate into an other language ordinary articles. but 1t is different when it comes to trans lating a technical article. such as the one referred to.
 Frank Deedmyer of the Jefferson county bar, who Is now in the Unit ed States consular service, and who Is bi-lingual, could translate with ease any German article into English or vice versa. He is a philologist and that, by the way, accounts, no doubt, for his rapid promotion.
 MT. schulhoefer, like Deedmyer native of Germany, and man of superior education, could. doubtless translate anything into English, and so could MT. Crawford, president of the Tennessee company, who studied chemistry at the -Eberhard uni versity. Tubingen, under the most fa- nous chemists in Europe There may be others. of course but I mention only those with whom I am personally acquainted.
 "Dr. Terrell Is among the few men in this part of the country who is at 6nce an expert accountant and all- round business man and a literary work CT and an author of distinction. His 'Teutonic Antiquities in the Anglo Saxon Genesis published In 1893, and his work of editing, with introduction and notes, 'Sappho- Trauerspiel in 1899 have high standing in Germany and in high educational circles generally. He has barely reached the prime of life, but he was instructor in Greek al Van- derbilt as far back as 1885. He was professor of modern languages in the University of Mississippi from 1893 to 1905. and in the same university he specialized in Germanic languages from 1905 to 1908. He Is at present operating coal mine at Craco, in Jefferson county.

WHERE WOMEN WORK

From Harper's Weekly.
 The women of Champery, a primitive mountain district of the canton of Valais, in Switzerland. have worn trousers from time immemorial.
 It further appears that the men of this district are noted for their indolent habits, and that, beyond acting as guides to mountain climbers in the summer months. they lead practically idle lives It fol- lows that the women perform all the hard labor required of a mountain people. It is the women who pasture the cattle on the steep and~often dangerous Alpine slopes, cut the timber and now the grass. It is no uncommon sight to obs serve Champery woman. at the con- clusion of her daily toll, returning to the village dragging her husband on the wood en sleigh that is in common use through out Switzerland.
 In view of the above, 1t is not surpris- ing that the women of Champery should have adopted the masculine attire. Their dress Is of the simplest kinda jerkin of rough, dark blue material. with trousers to match, and a red handkerchief to pro. tect the head.
 Inasmuch as the wives and mothers of Champery perform the greater part of the toll usually deemed the duty of the strong. CT sex, it is not astonishing to learn that they effect certain masculine habits the chief of which is the pipe. The Cham. pery woman puffs away with considerable enioyment at short briar as she pro. ceeds with her labors.
