People Who Do Not Whistle.

Arabia must be heaven for those
whose lives are made burden to them
by the whistler. The Arab maintains
that a whistler's mouth cannot be puri'
fed for forty days and nights, and
they assert OF the whistler that Satan
has touched his body and caused him
to produce the offensive sound. Then
there are the natives Of the Tonga Is
lands, Polynesia. who hold that 1t is a
sin TO whistle. as It is an act disre-
spectful to God Even In some dis
tricts in north Germany villagers de
clare that IL one whistles in the even

third field meet and fifth meeting
of the Rio Grande Horticultural So
ciety held Monday the 30th at River

esting demonstrations in fruit grow
ing are being made.

played and a committee Of three Sc

sem were treated to a delicious chic

ed that the first prize for ripe figs
was awarded to A. l.. Zimmerman or

obscured by the addition OF sugar
or spices. The donor of the prizes,
Mr.. Theo. F. Koch of Rivera was
present and Immediately distributed
checks to the happy winners.
Then came a most interesting pa
per by DR.. Ness of College Station on

to publish t.. Through the kindness
Of Mr.. Stanley Watson OF K~ingsville
