A Cardboard planet

One remarkable achievement Of Sir
William Herschel was in connection
with the planet Saturn He had ar
ranged to erect his telescope at Wind
sor castle TO enable Queen Charlotte
and the ladies of the court to see the
wonders of the ringed planet, but on
the evening arranged for the obserya-
ton great banks Of clouds covered the
sky. However, he explained that that
would not matter, and after the instru-
ment had been carefully directed the
queen and her attendants looked
through it and saw the great planet
and its marvellous rings quite distinct
ly. Herschel, it seems, had expected
bad weather and during the day had
made cardboard model Of the Satur-
MAN system and erected it in the
grounds; a lamp at the back providing
the necessary NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The illustrious men In history who
were distinguished as much for the
fascination which they exercised over
the fair sex as for their talents and
ability were, as rule, plain and In
sinihcant In appearance. Julius Caesar
was very i'll favored man, and yet
when mere STRIPPING, before his fame
in Rome, girls Of his own age sighed
for him and mature women longed for
his love- Among the men Of later times
who were renowned In like manner
were Sir Philip Sidney, plain almost
to ugliness; Paul Searron, the comic
poet, cripple; Voltaire, Enthusiastically
ugly, and Rousseau, whose manners
were awkward as his face was plain,
while John Wilkes. who had the power
to subjugate any woman who spoke to
him for even five minutes, was admit
ted by his own showing to be the ug-
lest man in England In his time.

One hundred years ago the Roths-
childs were the only great interna-
tional bankers. They were able to
finance the need of nations, but the
money they loaned was chiefly the
money representing their colossal fam
lily fortune. Today there are dozen
great international banking firms, each
of which is larger than the Rothschilds
were a century ago and whose aggre-
gate loaning power reaches an amount
which would then have been almost in
conceivable. There are now a thou
sand banks where then there was one
each representing the concentrated
loaning power of thousands of people
They offer vast credit because the
funds of the people, loaned through
them, reach vast sums.-S. w. Straus

P. T. Barnum launched his career In
the show business by exhibiting re-
markable negro woman, believed to be
100 years old and said to have been a
nurse to George Washington. An old
bill of sale was exhibited properly
dated, concerning Joyce Heth, then
aged fifty-four years, and evidence was
also furnished that she was nurse to
George Washington. Everything SEEM
ed so Straightforward to the young
man that he was eager to become the
proprietor of this novel exhibition,
which he purchased for s., 900, $500 Of
which he paid down, selling out his In
terest in the grocery business, and the
other $500 he borrowed He saw that
the thing to do was to make people
talk and become curious and excited
over rare spectacles. Regardless of ex-
pense he advertised in New York. Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, and the halls
were thronged until Joyce Heth died.

A Comb In the CLAW.

Many birds possess a useful comb In
the claw of the middle toe Of the foot.
This has been noticed In owls, night
jars, herons, bitterns, cormorants, gan
nets. etc 1t has been explained as a
means of holding the prey securely.
The comb is sometimes replaced by q
curved blade with teeth. which run
along the inner side Of the claw Such
blade is found in razorbills, wild
ducks. gulls, starlings and many other
birds. Where comb is required the
inner edge of this blade becomes d.
vided into teeth. Young nightjars or
goatsuckers have only the blade. but
old ones have well developed comb.

ROAD CONTRACTS.

The contract will in a few days
be let for the construction OF the
model road from Tallulah to the
Carroll line. The construction
Of this road will put in circulation
about SIS, 900. The planters
contiguous to the road should Sc
cure this work and keep az much
Of this money at home as possible.
The hardships on the taxpayer
for public improvements are
largely minirnized when the
money for such purposes is spent
at home.
A very large proportion OF the
money spent on road construction
stays at home, the taxpayer
taking back indirectly the taxes
paid.
No doubt this consideration, as
well as the necessity for the road,
influenced the Police Jury in
passing the ordinance at this
time.
The planters should get busy
and arrange to bid on this work.
One Of the first steps towards
building up the parish is in the
policy Of keeping our money at
home.
