THE WAY TO SLEEPTOWN

The town of Seeptown is not far
In Timbuctoo China,
For it's right by in Blnktown county
In the state of Drowsylna,
It's just beyond the Chingumboo Hills
Not far from Nodvile Center;
But you must be drawn through the valley of Yawn.
Or the town you cannot enter.
And this is the way
They say they say,
That Baby goes to Sleeptown.
Away he flies Bylow Bridge,
Through Lullaby Land to wander,
And on through the groves of Moonshne Valley,
By the hills Of Wayoff yonder;
And then does the fairies flying horse
The sleeping baby take up
Until they enter, at Jumpoff Center
The Peekaboo vale of Makeup.
And this is the way
They say, they say,
That Baby goes Sleeptown.

That Raise In Water Rates

If the water works company must have more
money in order to meet demands for higher
wages on the part of it's employees, and conse-
quently intends to raise water rates to the con-
sumer let it for once in it's life deal justly with
the domestic consumer.
AS have pointed out time after time in
these columns the water companys rates on
a sliding scale. The domestic consumer class,
made up in the majority of people of small in
comes, is forced to pay the highest rate, rs cents
thousand gallons. The large manufacturers
and the railroads using in excess of $4,000
gallons monthly pay only 6 cents a thousand
gallons.
If anyone's water rates should be raised to
meet the increased expense the water company
may be put to, it is those whose low rates consti
tute nothing short of robbery from the ordinary
citizens of Richmond For do not forget, the
water works company must receive average
price for water in of it's cost of production
When class is favored by rates below the
cost of production, another class, the domestic
consumers, is forced to pay the difference.
Let the railroads and large manufacturers be-
gin the upward climb in rates in this and do
not add any further to the already high cost of
living for the working and professional classes.

Decrease In Suicide.

The desire to commit suicide by the American people is on the decrease, according to a prominent insurance publica- tion. This journal gives figures relating to 100 leading cities in this country and it appears the number of suicides per 100000 population for 1912 was IS, an improvement on 1911, when 1t was 19. The rate has fallen ev- cry year since 1908, when it was 2l, the successive figures being 19 and IS. A noteworthy point brought out by the insurance pa per is that if the cities be diVid- ed into two groups, those above and those below 25,O00 the im- provement in 1912, as compared with the preceding ten years, has all taken place in the upper group. In the cities below 25,- GOO, taken aS'an aggregate, there has been a slight decrease in the suicide rate. The most strik- ing thing in the table, howev- CT, is the way in which CaIifor- mia figures in it. The cities are arranged according to their rates of suicide for the period 1902-11, the highest rate com ing first, and most emphatically the great state of the Golden West leads all the rest. Five of the top cities where suicide has been the gerateSt are in Califor- nia. The Southern states are far down in the list, our people seem ing entirely satisfied to remain in this good old world and make the best of it.-Memphis News Scimitar.

Wordsworth on Real Estate.

There is an interesting story of Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, In the house which she had built and laid out, writes A. c. Benson in the Gen. tury Magazine. There was a gathering of neighbors present, and Wordsworth stood for a long time at the window contemplating the beautiful landscape outside Then he turned to the party and said:
 Miss Martineau, congratulate you on your beautiful little domain. The views are wonderful and 1t will turn out to be the wisest thing you ever did in your life"
 He paused for a moment, and the guests expected some comment on the uplifting effects of communion with nature, but Wordsworth, with fne gesture, continued:
 Your property will certainly be trebled in value within the next ten years!"

Unlimited Coal In Alberta.

Edmonton, Alta, Oct. 21.- Statisticians in the employ of the provincial department of mines, have figured that it would require the services of 4,00O,- 900 men, each producing five tons a day and working 300 days in a year, 179 years to mine the coal available in AL berta, which is credited with 14R per cent of the total coal resources of the world, estimat- ed to contain l,075, ,039, 100000 tons, as compared with l6O, ,S41,- 910,000 tons for the rest of Canada.
 D. B. Bowling. co-editor of the Coal Resources of the World" " published in connection with the convention at Toronto of the International Geological Con- gress, gives these figures of the coal resources of the province of Alberta:
 Actula reserves: Semi-bitumin- ous and lignites, 3S4, 4,908,000, ,0O0 tons; bituminous, 3,209, 100000 tons; anthracite, 66S,000,000 tons. Probable reserves; Semi bituminous and lignites, 491,- 271,000,000 tons; bituminous, 194,SS3, 100000 tons; anthra- cite, 100,000,00 tons.
 The coal output of Alberta for 1912 is placed at 3,50O,000 tons, of a total of 13,000,O00 tons for all Canada, taking in seven provinces, the Yukon and North west territories and the Artic islands.
 There are three distinct coal horizons in Alberta; the Koot- enay, or lower Cretaceous, the Belly river, or middle Cretace- ous, and the Edmonton. lying at the top of the Cretaceous. The Edmonton formations cover an area of 77,lS4 square miles, of a total coal surface area of 109,- 16S square miles in the domin- ion of Canada.

PEARLS FIND READY MARKET
Those From the Mississippi Only Slightly Second in Demand to
 Deep Water Products.

Arkansas is the greatest pearl pro ducing state in the Union. and hun, dreds of men engage in the pearl hunt. It is said that the fresh water pearl of Arkansas of the highest class cannot be distinguished from the in est deep sea jewel. Throughout the south generally thousands of people follow the pearl fishing industry and make a comfortable living at 1t. Up to d few years ago the jewel wealth contained in the river beds of the Mississippi valley was completely hid den. It was not supposed that the fresh water mussel was pearl bear CT, or that it had any value except for fish bait.
 The fresh water mussel Is sought now not only for the precious stone 1t may have hidden in it's shell, but for the shell itself, which Is manufac- tured into stick pins, cuff links, and buttons of every description. The shell fisheries have for years extend ed far up the Mississippi river. A re- cent writer on the subject puts fresh water pearls into four classifications true pearls, baroques, slugs. and chicken feed.
 The first, or true. pearls are of definite shape, and regular form round, oval, or pear shaped. These command the highest prices. Baroques are pearls of irregular form. Slugs are low grade baroques. The smaller size, the kind used in inexpensive though genuine and neat jewelry, go by the professional name of chicken feed.

MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whether the Apple Was the Forbidden Fruit" In the
 Garden of Eden.

Why and how 1t has happened that the apple has been spoken of as the fruit that was forbidden in the Gar den of Eden is one of the great pug zles of Biblical scholars. The fact Is that in Genesis 3, where the incident of the eating of this fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evip' IS mentioned, no name whatever IS given to the fruit. All that is said is: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that 1t was pleasant to the eyes, and tree to De desired to make one wise, she took Of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat" (verse 0.
 Tn fact, scholars doubt very serious ly whether it was the apple at all They suggest that all evidence points to it having been the quince, fragrance of which was held in the highest es- teem by the Orientals. Another point in favor of the Quince Is that it Is the fruit which was sacred to Venus, the goddess of live, and in great many of the ancient writings the Quince Is very frequently mentioned in this man. ner. In Babylonia Ishtar took the place of Venus in the Roman mythol- ogy, and it should be remembered that the story of the creation origina- ted with the Babylonians. All evil dence seems to point away from the apple having been the Forbidden Fruit" and towards the quince as hay ing been that fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil"
