MlSSiVES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dur ing SIese Took Years to Reach
 the Consienees.

What would Americans say if they received mail matter that had been de layed in transit for a lifetime? In france, few years ag3, letters for 3VO persons were delivered-to as many of the addressees as were liv- ing-that had been mailed years be. fore. They were delivered. moreover. at the earliest possible moment al though the distance between the send CT and the receiver was in many cases only few miles.
 During the siege of Paris by the Germans ill 1870 the postoff1ce admin istration hit upon the expedient, in ad- dition to the balloons, of inclosing let ters in small zinc globes, water tight and dramatically sealed, and dropping them into the Seine. There they float ed, If they were not captured by the Germans, down the river to the French lines, where net stretched across the river gathered them in, and they were sent on their way.
 Unfortunately for the French, the Germans discovered the character of these zinc floats, and as they could not hope to see and fish out by ordinary means all the letters that went down thus, they stretched across the river, at Villeneuye Saint Georges, a net of their own and effectually stopped this | system of postal communication. The zinc balls and their use were pretty nearly forgotten, when. some years ago, fisherman found in the Seine. near Villeneuve, queer looking globe of zinc. With large knife he opened 1t. and found 300 letters, still legibile, and all dated December, 1870. They were delivered to the postal au thorities, and after this long wait in the river went on their way.-The Sunday Magazine.

Japanese Like Other Babies.

There is a mistaken but popular be. lief that a Japanese baby never cries. There is really no reason why he should. Replete with nourishment and rarely denied wish. he blossoms like wild rose on the sunny side of the hedges, so sweet and SO unre- strained.
 His life is full of rich and varied in- terests. From his second day on earth. tied safely to his mothers back under an overcoat made for tA O. he finds amusement for every waking hour in watching the passing show. He Is the honored guest at every family picnic. No matter what the hour or the weather, he Is the active member in all that concerns the household amusements or work.
 From his perch he participates in tho life of the neighborhood, and Is . part of all the merry festivals, that turn the streets into fairyland. Later. his playground is tho gay market place or the dim old temples.-Francis Lit tie, in the Century Magazine.

Question of Degree.

On writ of error to the supreme court of one of the territories, counsel for plaintiff in error sharply criticized the rulings of the trial judge. When the counsel for the defendant in error began his reply, the following took place:
 May it please your honors. before finish my argument, I think can show you that the trial judge was not as crazy as counsel on the other side would make him out to be-"
 By a member of the court: Let me understand you; you admit the fact of insanity of the trial judge. but deny It's degree?'-Case and Comment.

the secretary hopes to mitigate the
where drastic features of the bill to
a point where there would be no
ground for objection from the Jan.
nese government
Any such legislation as that pend.
ing in California would not be wei
coined by the Japanese, but it is said
that in the higher circles in Toxic it
is realized that some legislation is
inevitable anu must be accepted, pro.
vided Japanese pride is saved AMI the
probable injury to Japanese subjects
in California reduced to- minimum.
The Japanese embassy officials
here, it is believed. regard this last
measure as far less offensive than the
original Webb bill
Most of the agricultural lands in
California cultivated by Japanese are
held under lease and the property oc-
cupied as residences and business
houses by Japanese is especially ex.
empted from escheatment so that the
pecuniary damage caused by the cat
would be reduced to a minimum by
the amendment.

FOR MONTH OF MAY
COURT HOUSE TO-DAY
NOT so LARGE AS

MONTHS.
PLANS FOR SUMMER INSTITUTE
School Improvement Work Receives
Boost by Prof. Galloway, Who
Urges Systematic Grading and
Shows Why.
Saturdays Daily.)

The Maury County Teachers Meet
ing for the month of May took place
in the circuit court room this morn
| ing at 10 O'Clock, with the regular
state course for the discussions. The
attendance was not as large as 1t
has been during the past several
months, many teachers not coming
on account of the fact that their
schools have closed ana some are
away.
This is not unusual as many have
other engagements when their
schools are closed that either take up
their time or carry them away from
the county and out of reach of the
meetings.
At the meeting today plans We're
entered into regarding the coming
summer institute, Last year there

Lawrence and Williamson counties,

GRAFTON this morning.
! The school Improvement work.
which followed the teachers program
took up some matters of vital impor
lance to the success of the county
schools One of the features espec-
tally urged upon those present by
Prof. Galloway was the proper and
systematic grading of the pupils of all
the schools in the county.
He showed the advantages to be
obtained by systematic work, in the
possibilities Of an increase of interest
on the part of the pupils. He asked
that all teachers make a graded re-
port of the pupils at the close of their
schools and leave with the directors
or other persons to be handed to the
! incoming tea cher this fall, in order
that the first two weeks would not be
lost in the attempt to give the pupils
the proper classification. He further
showed that if the schools were prop
erly graded and the pupils given a
certificate when the grades are COM
pleted that it would give them some
thing to strive for and increase the
anxiety to be advanced from grade to
grade Grading saves time, gives the
pupil stimulation and gives it proper
standing in comparison with the 9th
er schools Of the county.
This meeting was the regular time
for the handing in of the condensed
county reports for the work of the
year.

John Andrews, one Of the leadirc
farmers of the Culleoka section tbio
morning delivered at the station o,
Culleoka for shipment to LoDjsviuo
one of the finest punches of rod
steers that have been seen for ,nanv
a day. There were sixteen steers in
the bunch and they averaged moro
than 1920 pounds each. They wera
sold for seven and one half cents tbo
bunch bringing the owner more than
$50 apiece. The total price received
for the steers was close to 81 800 the
price of small sized farm. Mr.. An.
drews has a silo and is great he.
lever in live stock on the farm.
For many years Mr.. Andrews has
been known for the fine quality Of
his live stock. Last year his lambs
had the highest average weight of
any in his section. Mr. Andrews is a
firm believer in soil restoration and
that can be done alone by feeding
what the land produces to live stock
In fact he makes it rule to sell the
produce of his farm on four legs, with
the result that he has reclaimed and
made valuable lands that only few
years ago were washed and quilted
and of comparatively little value.
Discussing the question this morn.
ing Mr.. Andrews said: 4 am every
year blowing less of my land. This
year have only about forty acres Of
corn. shall plant so.ne sorghum
with which, mixed with corn, | will
fill my silo. The most profitable
farming Is that which calls for the
least cultivation of the land. One
should have the greater portion OF
his farm in grass, cutting enough for
hay and pasturing the balance. Il
he will proiitably cultivate few
acres, pour all of his manure upon it
he can grow enough corn to feed all
the cattle that he can pasture, if he
uses silo."

FORCED TO PAY
HIGH RANSOM
THE MEXICAN REBELS EFFORT
LARGE SUMS FROM U. S.
CITIZENS.

WASHINGTON, May Mexican
constitutionalists at San Dimas have
forced the Americans there to pay
ransom of 10000 Mexican dollars and
have confiscated their arms. Official
reports today from Mazatlan say
great unrest prevails among Ameri-
can residents there, as the Huerta
forces are said to be insufficient to
protect property.
Foreign merchants at Piedras Ne
gras are alarmed over a proclamation
by Gov Carranza, chief of the state
troops, authorizing an interior debt
of 100000 pesos 10 be guaranteed
by the constitutionalists. The proc
lamation says that pesons refusing
to receive or circulate any of the
money will be imposed.
