London and Its Lumber.

London is the most conservative city
in, Europe, if not in the world. 1t loves
its lumber. You may still see those
notices attached to lamp posts which
announces Standing for Four Hack
ney Carriages" or whatever the mum
Der may be, though for ten years Tin
one case, to my own knowledge for
twenty-five) no vehicles of any kind
have stood there. Perhaps 1t is as well
that these relics should remain; they
are tiny part Of our social history
They will probably remain when we
are flying to dinner or the theater in
omni-aeros. BY that time people won't
know what hackney carriage" meant
and there will be discussions in the
Notes and Queries" Of the period.
For each generation hands down to the
next certain nuts to crack.

MeteOrite Falls Near Woman.

A meteorite weighing 81 pounds
was recently the subject of discussion
in chemical circles in johannesburg,
South Africa. The stone fell in Zulu
land a few months ago, and was not
only noticed by an eye witness some
is miles away, but fell within a few
feet of a native woman, who gave
information which led to it's discov-
cry. The meteorite cannot so far be

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality Of Diners Is Shown In
Their Various Method Of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes, then he places it in an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the egg fit it, taps the sop of the
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten a
spoonful at time.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman, likes his eggs of three min
utes, exactly. He then "peels" them,
places them in glass, stirs and
mixes well together with salt, pepper
and butter. He makes practice of
dipping bread into the mixture, and
eating it along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think of letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks it, and lets the con-
tents run into a glass, and consumes
it as if he were drinking a glass of
wine
An egg is only fit in an Italians
estimation when it has been placed
in cold water, and removed just as
the water beings to boil. He then
breaks it, pours 1t on a plate, and
proceeds to sop 1t up with bread.
The German, like the Italian, de-
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
in an unsightly cup, and scoops the
liquid out as If 1t were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard.
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them in half, removes the con-
tents into glass, after which he
badds plentiful supply of pepper, but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them well with the
spices, and eats them with his toast

EnaIand,s oldest Bowling Green.

Which is our oldest recreation?
There are not wanting psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on
Egyptian moral tablets. However,
when it comes to actual records, the
fine old English game of bowls would
appear to be as old as any.
Southampton, Eng, has records
showing that one of the local bowling
greens was in existence in 1893.
Many interesting customs are asso-
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer a fire jack"
competition is held, and an order of
knighthood is conferred on the win
ner, who kneels in the center of the
green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches
him with sword and dubs him sir. u

For the Ironing Board.

Pad the ironing board with thick
quilt or old blanket. then lay the
board on the table and cut piece of
heavy muslin so 1t will fit the board
loosely. Seam 1t up, leaving the slip
open at each end. Make two Of these
slips and change them frequently,
says Mothers Magazine. Thus the
ironing board is always clean, and the
padding will not have to be changed
for months.

Regulating Weight.

There is only one way to regulate
body weight and that is by the
natural method-by diet, exercise,
bathing, etc.-by alimentation and
elimination. The nostrums advertised
to take off flesh without change of
diet are all dangerous. Be sure of
that, and avoid them. The same diet
that will put flesh on thin man will
take flesh off fat one. In other
words, a natural diet produces a
natural condition of the body.

THE BOIL WfENIl HERE
How aid Where the Planter Should
Look For II.

If there are any weevil present, they
will be found feeding in the terminal
bud of the largest cotton. Such cotton
as has four or more leaves should be
searched carefully. The likelihood of
finding the pest will be greatest in the
early morning up until 8 or 9 o'clock,
as during the heat of the day the wee
wills leave their exposed positions in the
bud. A large mouth bottle or small
jar, with a little kerosene in the bot
tom, will prove a convenient receptacle
for the weevils when they are caught.
Am very anxious to be of assistance
to the farmers of Grenada county and
to help them in their fight against the
weevils and / should deem it . favor to
be called on for advice or information.
/ have been all through this boil weevil
fight and my experience will prove val
liable to you if you will avail yourself
of the information l have on the SUBJ
jsct.
Don't be lulled into security because
only a few weevils are in evidence.
There v are many in the beginning;
continue to look for them until the
plants begin to square. EmerRence
has just started in this section and will
last well through the month Of June.
Every pair disposed of now means
millions less later On. Rapid shallow
cultivation should be continued 90 a. not
to allow grass and weeds to get started.
Under heavy weevil i~nfestation q foul
cotton field mean certain disaster.
Deep cultivation will retard the rapid
setting of fruit and give the weevils a
splendid advantage. The use Of nitro
genous fertilizers will cause the young
plants to continue their growing after
the fruiting starts.
If you will catch all the weevils that
you san and keep the crops in q thoroiy
growing condition. the weevils can not
seriously hurt you.
Let's make q concerted fight against
this enemy and avoid the usual panic
that follows in his wake. There are
too many instances of successful cot
ton production under weevil conditions
for an intelligent community to be
thrown into confusion.
Yours very truly,
Bradner ]. Moore,
Special Agent.

QUARTERS FOR JURORS

In a recent issue of the Jackson Daily News there appears the
following news item in reference to some proposed conveniences at
the court house in Jackson:
Among other things, bath tubs will be installed, and Jurors who
are held over nigh. can get clean baths and shaves.
1t is also planned to have good beds installed, and jurors can
be as comfortable as in their own homes.
One of the reasons why So many persons object to serving on
juries is the inconvenience and discomforts they are forced to un-
dergo when they are locked up over night. Mr., Sandel has con-
WINGED the supervisors that if better accommodations are provided
il the court house it will be easier to get good jurors. and he has
certainly earned the thanks of all citizens who are called upon to
perform this character of public service.
The Sentinel gladly notes what is being done in Kinds county.
This paper a one of the first in the state to discuss the necessity
of better quarters and more conveniences for jurors. Nothing would
do more to promote better service than the providing of a Jury
home Let us hope that other counties will follow Kinds lead.

PRIZES TO Be GIVEN.
Money Offered by Business Men for
Boil Wcevil Killers.

As was to be expected after SO mild
a winter, boil weevils are making their
appearance in Grenada county, and
while only a few have been found up
to the present, before the end of the
season they may increase to an extent
that will severely reduce cotton produc-
ton unless steps are taken to fight
them. Just at this time the weevil is
coming out from his long winter fast in
q weakened condition and the circum-
stance offers to the industrious farmer
an opportunity to practically control
the situation.
The number of weevils that survive
the long Information is too insignificant
to do any serious damage. It is only
through their rapidly increasing pro-
geny that disaster comes.
The early emerging weevils fly to the
nearest cotton, feeding on the tender
terminal bud while they Z waiting
for the plant to set sQnares in which to
increase themselves. Now as the in
crease car not commence until the
fruiting starts and the weevils occupy
an exposed position in the bud Of the
plant, it is an easy matter to pick them
off and destroy them; bearing in mind
the appalling rate at which they do in
crease, one can readily see how effect
i've this catching Of the over-winter
weevil can be made.
The fact that the adult insect shows
no inclination to leave the immediate
neighborhood In which he finds himself
at the commencement Of the season,
is an opportunity for any farmer to
control the situation on his own farm
regardless Of what his neighbors do.
OF course, later in the year when the
migratory season is reached, the wee.
wills move in all directions, but by that
time it is possible to have matured .
profitable crop.
In order to induce the farmers of
this county to catch the early emerging
ing weevils- a number of the progress
sive business men Of the county have
offered tOpay cash premiums to the
ones bringing in the largest number Of
weevils, dead or alive, by the 21st day
of June. The premiums are as follows:
First. : : $25 OC Fifth. SO 90
Second, 20 90 Sixth, 50
Third, Is 90 Seventh, S 90
Fourth, IL so
The weevils are to be brought to the
court house at Grenada on Saturday,
June q, where the counting will be
Moore of the Department of Agricul-
ture and such assistants as he may des-
ignate.
The only requirements in the compe-
tition for the premiums are that the
weevils shall have been caught in
Grenada county. XXX

QUIT THE BUSINESS

The Sentinel regrets that the board of supervisors of this county
saw the necessity of discontinuing the work of tick eradication this
week. By this we do not mean to take issue with the board on what
they did, for under all the circumstances there was nothing else to
be done unless the county was to be bankrupted.
This paper has gone on record as favonng. the eradication of
the ticks and we fully appreciate what the pests mean to stock rails
ers, but the point is: the ticks. under the methods that were being
used to annihiate them, would have been eradicated when billie
goats heads got to be made out of biscuits and rabbits began to
make automobiles. Only a very small per cent of the people of the
county were interested and there was no attempt at coercion. In
fact, we doubt that the law warrants the authorities in forcing any
body to dip his cattle. From our viewpoint. either the Federal Gov
eminent or the State Livestock and Sanitary Board is toying with
the work. Somebody has gone at the matter backwards.
We doubt that the Federal Inspector has ever been worth any,
thing in prosecuting the work in this county after the initiation.
When the time comes that everybody is forced to dip. then the
county should resume the work.

COVTINUE TO CLEAN UP

There is no reason why we should not continue to have the clean
est town in the state, even if we can not boast of the largest. Every
man, woman and child n our town ought to respond to the appeals
that are being made to make the town neater and more attractive
and clean and sanitary. iii only a small matter for each family to
clean up its own premises, but with every family in town doing this
the whole town will not only present a more attractive appearance,
butwil be more healthful as well.
Let everyone join in this war against dirt, disease, rubbish, ug.
illness and indifference to the public good, and when the town is in
the perfect condition it should be, let everyone help to keep it so.
There is always urgent need of cleansing and purifying after the
long winter and the dampness of early spring, and all effort to this
end will bring reward a hundred fold,

Every normal human life seeks to construct something and
building always carries the idea of going upward. The active. a-
sressive builder has his devotees. The sparkling diamond and the
evaneseent dewdrop both alike preach a sermon Of architecture. art.
culture, beauty and subhmity. and it is ar inherent faculty to linper
at the shrine of all these. The lesson of building suggests immuta-
biity. The fact is, that nothing that pertains to man dies, hence
the necessity of his measuring his every tootstep and his every thot
and word. Our words are uttered and 60 laundering into space;
they bound and rebound and are gathered up we know not where
they live and many OF them, we fear, will confront us at the judg-
ment. Who knows but that the aerial regions are filled with wireless
telegraphy instruments and photographs from which all we say will
be repeated to US when there is no chance to retract or modify our
language. We are building day by day whether we realize it or not
The question then comes: What are we building?

wishes to urge the importance Of beginning NOW to plan for the
fair. 1t is hoped that our friends from the country will come in and

than to anyone else.
