Legendary history tells many stories OF
Isabella of CASTLE which may or may not
be true. but authenticated history relates
much as romantic as the legends. 1T is
not all important whether she did or
did not make the solemn VOW not TO
change her lingerie until Granada had
surrendered and thus made a dingy hue
fashiona BILE for Spanish lace. The impor-
tant fact is that she captured Granada
and drove the Moors from Spain. Neither
is ii vital whether or not she paWned
her Jewels to aid Columbus. What is
vital is that without her aid the great
American continent might have remained
long undiscovered. Naturally Legend
clings close about her. for she was one
Of the great figures of history.
Oversthe early days of Isabella We may
pass briefly They bear the record COM
mon to the lives of young princesses of
the time. whose title to the throne was
collateral rather than direct. and VINO
therefore became the center of plots and
counterplots either for their advance
ment or their undong. Her father was
John III of CASTLE. who on his death was
succeeded by his son and Isabella's elder
brother Henry. Still another brother
was living in her earlier days. SO that
her chance of succeeding to the throne
was but remote, and she spent her child
hood obscurely in remote country places
of Spain. But in 1853 the younger brother
died, and King Henry, proclaimins her
his lawful heir to the thrones of CASTLE
and Leon. summoned her to court.
OF course. statesmen gambled with the
matrimonial chances of a possible queen.
At first her brother affianced her without
her knowledge to Alfonso, King of Portu-
GAL a dissipated monarch much her SEN
ior Her happy recollections that tine
infantas of CASTLE could not be disposed
without the consent of the mobiles of the
realm saved her from a loveless mar

ofhclal news in Washington is TO be
given official utterance in the form of a
regular publication by the government. if
bill that will be introduced in the new
Congress goes through. 1t provides for the
issue of an official gazette, the first ever
issued by this government
Plans for the publication have been
under consideration for several years
During the existence of the Keep commits
sion there was a special subcommittee ap-
pointed to consider the subject. Reports
were received from all the federal depart
ments. and the committee obtained copies
and information from all the capitals of
the world where such gazettes are pub
lishcd. Estimates We're made as TO the
cost of issuing d weekly periodical of this
sort, and ii was found that if certain
amount Of the regular government ad-
Vertising were carried by the gazette it
would be more than self-supporting and
at the same time would get the adver-
tisements in just the place where the gov
ernment contractors would be most GER
tain TO find them.
1t was not intended to cut off special
newspaper and magazine advertising al
together. because it was realized that in
certain cases this would be the most de-
SlfdDIe sort OF advertising. But 1t was
seen that enough saving could be effected
to make the gazette profitable and at the
same time put the official advertisements
where they would "do the most good"
Money Spent in Advertising.
This estimate was based on the fact that
in the previous year, the departments al
together had spent S14S1S0 in advertising
much of which could have been advan-
tageously carried by an official publica-
zion. In this line the War Department
spends the most money. the Navy Depart
ment the next and the Interior Depart
ment is close third
While there was unanimity of opinion
from all the departments that an official
gazette was needed, there were a variety
of opinions as to just what it should con-
tain. Some of the departments thought
it should include all the official speeches
of the President and the members of the
cabinet, and some that it even should con-
tain from time to time official announce
men;s of the Presidents policy. 1t was
finally recommended by the committee.
however, that such an official organ
should be an absolutely colorless record
of facts and that it should contain moth
ing either of personal or party views.

FORESTS AND HYGIENE.
The Value Of Trees From the Stand
point of Human Health.

The Value Of Trees From the Stand
point Of Human Health.
We hear much of the Importance Of
the conservation of forests from an
economic standpoint, but little is said
as to the hygienic value of forests.
Forests contribute to the general
health by breaking the force of steadi-
ly blowing winds. They mitigate the
heat Of summer by the vast amount Of
evaporation from their leaves that oc-
ours by day. They also promote rain
falls. Thus they check the tendency
Of the earth to desiccate. which is al
most as injurious to health as it IS to
vegetation.
Cholera often passes wooded dis
trict and revels in treeless one. A
certain road in India leads for sixty
miles through q dense forest. Farther
on it runs for ninety miles through a
barren plain. Hundreds Of persons
travel the entire road daily. Now. in

CHILD WEDDINGS IN INDIA.

Candy Kept the Baby Partners Quiet
During the Ceremony.
-Four hundred marriages were per-
formed simultaneously at the last we'd
ding celebration at Surat among men,
bers Of the Lewa Kunbi caste.
None of the brides was more than
twelve years Of age. the majority be-
ing from one to seven years old. while
the bridegrooms varied from three to
nine. Most Of the contracting parties
sat or lay on the laps Of their parents
during the ceremony and were given
sweets to keep them quiet.
The caste only celebrates every ten or
twelve years.
These baby brides, Of course, do not
join their husbands when they are
married. They wait until they reach
the age Of ten or eleven. when there
is second marriage. Should q baby
brides husband die before she reaches
the age for the second marriage she
becomes a widow and has to remain
so all her life In such cases the
widow at once loses caste. Her orna-
ments are taken off her. and she be-
comes a sort of outcast. hardly treat
ed, looked down upon and generally
made a household drudge.
The husband. on the other hand,
should his baby bride die before the
second marriage, may marry again. In

A POLITICAL GAFF.

Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet,
widow of the late General Long
street of Confederate fame, was
removed from the Office of Post
Master at GAINESVILLE, Ca, by the
present administration-she car
ried her case up to the Senate
Committee, but the good lady is
only wasting time. The post Of
fee department has had her sue
cessor appointed, and she may
as well take her medicine. A
post Office is a political Job, re-
gardless of the professions of
those who control them, and it
may as well be known that the
jobs go to those the Congress.
men wish to have them. In Mrs.
Longstreet's case there was no
complaint Of her not giving per
sonal attention to the work of
the Office, but a report was made
that her Office was badly kept.
Mrs. Longstreet declares that
during her years of service she
brovght the Office up to a high
state of efficiency, in this she is
endorsed by citizens of the city,
and the voluntary evidence of
the widow of the late Congress
man FELTON,, a former represen-
tative of the district in which
GAINESVILLE is located. AS before
said, when the government gets
ready to call for a commission,
matters not bv what influence
it's action was upon there is only
one thing to do, give it up.

LET ALL TAKE A CRACK AT II.

Judging from the number of
counties that are preparing to
have elections on the re-estab.
lishment of the dispensary, we
have about reached the conclus-
ion that it would be we'll for the
general assembly to fix a time to
submit this ever bobbing up
question for every county in the
State, under the local option
stipulation-those counties wish
ing dispensaries let them have
them, and those wishing Prohi-
bition the same. In other words
the referendum on this question
seems to be the only way to sat,
isfy the people even though they
will not stay satisfied. So far as
this county is concerned we know
of no urgent demand to re-estab-
lish the dispensary, neverthe-
less, there is not a county in the
State more IN need Of the money
to repair bridges and to help out
the school term. Last year some
thing of a demand for an elec-
tion was created but the petit
tions were not vigorously push
ed and failed to get enough sign
ers for the supervisor to order
the election, not having ordered
the election last year, no more
elections can be had on the ques
tion under the law until after
four years has expired, the peo
pie know this, therefore there is
no agitation in this county, but
IN many counties the Prohibs
and the Dispensarites are leay'
ing nothing undone to accom-
plish their respective ends, re-
sorting to all of the tricks of the
political game by attempting to
boodwink the uninformed. One
side appealing on the grounds OF
morality. the other side on the
ground of law and order, and the
financial benefit. Both sides
make charges, one claims the
whiskey trust is back of those
who are urging the dispensary,
and that negroes are being reg
istered to help them, thereby
threatening white supremacy,
the other side intimate the mail
order concerns are financing the
Prohibition party in order to
continue their control of the liq
uor business.

Hospitable Grabs

Some species OF crabs enter into curl
Gus partnerships with other small ami
mals. The sponge crab tDromia vul'
garis, Is so named because Of trick it
has Of attaching a sponge to its back,
holding it there with its claws until it
Is firmly fastened. Since the sponge is
filled with small needles and gives off
strong odor it protects the crab from
many enemies. In return it gets nour-
ishment from the bits Of food left over
from the crabs numerous repasts. This
peculiar habit Of the crab is shown by
the behavior Of young spider crab at
the New York aquarium When placed
in tank that contained many small
orange colored sea anemones the crab
Immediately discarded the scraps of
seaweed with which it was covered and
adorned itself with the Gayly colored
ar1emoneS.

Tut GET NoTHINs.

The old dispensary will not
down. Attorney General PEBBLES
has been asked by citizens of
Chester to bring suit against
Joseph B. Wylie, a member of
the former dispensary board, to
recover $4,000 rebate money
which be acknowledged receiv-
ing as his share of the rebates
paid to the members of the board
of control. Attorney General
PEBBLES has the matter under
consideration, and if there is
any chance to recover this mon
ey he will bring the suit. Wylie
it will be remembered, received
immunity from prosecution by
the former attorney general be-
cause of his turning States evi-
dence, now whether this immun
ity also absolves him from the
financial responsibility is a ques-
tion yet to be determined. At the
time of the trial at which Mr..
Wylie became a witness for the
State against his colleagues on
the board of control we said then
that if Wylie would turn over his
Ill gotten gains there might be
something in his procession of
penitence, he did not do this,
but held on to the swag and told
on the others in accordance with
an arrangement made to save
himself from going to prison. A
man who can do this can also
find a way to hide the money he
obtained so there will be very
little chance for the State to
come into it's own.
