London and Paris.

There is evidence to show that
London was a considerable town
before the Roman invasion. Its
Celtic name was Lyndin Qake fort).
Tacitus, in the first century, calls it
Londinium and describes it as a
flourishing place. The earliest no
tice of Paris is in Caesars Com
mentaries." Caesar called it Lutte
tia and described it as a collection
of mud huts. Lutetia began in the
fourth century to be known as Pa
risia or Paris, and in the sixth CEN
fury was selected by Clovis as the
seat of government. Of the two
cities London is undoubtedly the
more ancient, though how much
older it is impossible to say.

SCALES OF FISHES.
some Zoo Tiny to 30 Seen, Others 40
Big a. SILVER Dollars.

my W 90 oeon, Othere ~
Big AZ SILVER Dollars.
AL true fishes have scales, but in
some they are so minute or SO deep
ly imbedded in the skin as to be i'm
perceptible. In most kinds, how
ever, they are distinct enough, and
IN the pompano and the kingfsh of
the gulf of Mexico, which affords
magnificent sport to anglers, they
are sometimes almost as big as sill
yer dollars and are used to make
ornaments.
Scales vary greatly in thickness
and strength as well as in size. They
serve as an armor for the fish. not
only against the attacks of enemies,
but against parasites and infections
of all kinds. When a fish's scales
are torn by wounds or accident a
fungus is almost certain to take
root, develop and finally kill the
fish. 1t is to protect the animal still
further that "A sort of slime oozes
continually from pores in the skin
and spreads over the surface of the
scales.
The size and strength of the
scales of a fish are IN direct relation
to its habits of life. The eel and
catfish, which have no external ar
NOR, Turk near the bottom and
among weeds and escape assault by
houndering in the mud. Perch and
trout, which live in clear water,
have stronger and bigger scales, and
the best armor belongs to those
fishes which are themselves preda-
tory. Most scales show lines of
growth on the upper surface, and
the number of spawning periods it
has passed through and the injuries
it has suffered can be read by those
who understand the markings.
The most complete and effective
M among fishes is that of the
CARS or billish of our American and
some African rivers. Here the scales
do not overlap, but are lozenge
shaped and joined at the edges, like
the pieces of a mosaic. Instead of
being rounded and horny, they are
composed of an ivory-like emanuel.
This was characteristic OF the fishes
of that very primitive age called
siluriap. The seas were then hlled

FOREIGNERS ARE EXEMPT FROM
THE INCOME TAX
Washington, Jan. 3.-Foreigners
drawing income from American in
terest-bearing bonds are exempted
from our income tax. This is the
effect: of a ruling made by the Treas
ury Department. If a rich American
gathers up his bundle of railroad
bonds, goes across the water, he may
avoid our income tax by becoming
naturalized as William Waldorf Astor
has become a British subject Amer
lea pays the freight and the foreigner
gets the income and is specially fav-
ored by this exemption from the pro-
vision of the law requiring collection
at the source. The American abroad
who retains his American citizenship
is soaked. Thus American heiresses
will probably have their property held
in their husbands name and the
United States will lose the tax This
was not the intention of those who
drew the law. 1t was the result of
an arbitrary ruling gratuitously
handed out by the Secretary of the
Treasury and based on a written
opinion rendered by Attorney-Gen-
eral McReynolds Of the Department
of Justice. This opinion is not avail
able to the public. 1t is not even on
the files of the department. Officials
saw it is an unofficial" private
and confidential" opinion, and
therefore cannot be made available
to the press.

The Bank of Hattiesburg, by author

meeting, took steps to qualify under
the guarantee provisions of the new
state banking law, and the officers Of
that bank are today preparing the for
NAL application to the board of State
BANK Examiners for an early examina-
tionlof their bank
This prompt action Of the bank In
seeking to qualify under this law is
being commended by those who be-
iieve that guaranty Of bank deposits
is desirable.
One OF the. questions put by the
state Bank Commission to those who
applied for appointment as state bank
examiners was What effect will the
state banking law have on nnaaciai
conditions in Mississippi" Replies
to this question indicated that the
concensus of opinion among the appli-
cants was that as confidence is the
chief factor in the financial activities
of a commonwealth, the new law
properly administered is certain to re-
store public confidence in those banks
which show their ability to meet the
iaw,s demands, and there will ulti
mately if not speedily be brought from

temporal losses or personal suffering.
BY such means God often keeps His
children from falling into sin, and hell.
Mr.. Andrews denounced the sophis-

and too merciful to send soul to
hell" He declared. that mans will is
barrier at which even divinity halts.
Heaven is prepared place for a
prepared people," he declared.
The uncertainty of life, the certainty
of death, and, the judgment which all
men of rational intelligence are aware
of, were strongly urged as reasons
why the appeals of the Gospel which
| come through special efforts such as
are made in meetings like that now
being conducted, were strongly urged
upon the backslidden and the uncon

tion in accepting Christ as theil
