ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 6.-Governor
John NJ. Slaton and Speaker William
Burwell disagree sharply, though ami
eably, over the exact meaning of an
amendment passed in Tuesdays cleo
ton and will put the point up to the
attorney general for an official opin-
ion.
The amendment provides that mem
bers of the legislature shall serve I'M
til the time fixed by law for the con-
vening of the next general assembly.
1t was designed to avoid an interim,
like the present, when the old legisla-
ture has passed out of existence and
the new members have not qualified.
But suppose a special session were
to be called in the interim? Would
the newIy-eIected members or the old
assembly make up the legislature?
Governor SIaton says the old members
would compose the session, Speaker
BurweII thinks the new members
would have to gather and qualify, and
also would have to elect a new gov
ernor, as that is one of the assembly's
first duties. The question is not likely
to arise in a practical way this year,
however.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
lea and sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is mus
sy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
tie for about so cents. Everybody uses
this old, famous recipe, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge )r
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Hooks Phar-

A Century Auo.

Nine. Anna Bishop, one of the most
celebrated singers of her time, was
born 100 years ago in London. She
received good musical education and
at an early age made her debut as a
concert singer. Later she devoted her
self to Italian music and sang with
great success in Italy and other
countries on the continent. She next
visited America, where her genius
won her recognition and she became
great favorite with the music-loving
public. Nine. Bishop was several times
married and her life was filled with
romance and adventure. In the late
fifties she made perilous trip across
the South American continent and a
few years later she was shipwrecked
while on her way from Honolulu to
China. Owing to the loss of her voice
she retired to private life in 1868. Her
death occurred in New York in 1884.

Great Coal Deposits In Chile.

The Gillian government some time
ago engaged the noted geologist, DR..
Johannes Burger, to study the coal
deposits of the country, believing that
the carboniferous region of the prov.
ince of Arauco alone could supply the
needs of Chile for a period of 200
years.
Doctor Burger has gone thoroughly
into conditions prevailing in Arauco.
The coast country is particularly rich
in COAL There is an abundance Of
this material in the vicinity Of the
town of Buena Piden.
Some years ago these deposits were
exploited on large scale, and rail-
roads and wharves were built to ia
cilitate shipments. But work was
not continued because the survey was
incomplete and now exploitation is
to be done under improved conditions
and with expert advisers superintend-
Ing the work.
The hills in the vicinity of Ronquiel,
Mislongue and Millaneco contain large
deposits of coal of the finest quality,
and several coal mines are now in op,

The New PHILIPPINES.

While it was not until the year 1898
that the name philippines" became
familiar one to Americans, it is a
fact that, not a hundred years be-
fore, the name of the New Philip
pines was applied to a large area Of
American soil.
The first settlement in what now
constitutes the state of Texas, was
made in the year 1856 by French i'm
migrants. During the'25 years follow
ing there was constant struggle be-
tween the French and the Spanish
for possession and supremacy, a
struggle that finally resulted in favor
Of the latter. So, in 1914, the name
of the New Philippines" was given
to the country. This was its official
name in the Spanish records for many
years, and until the name of Texas,
from tribe Of Indians, gradually
came into use.

PLACE BELIEF IN TOAD SOUP
East Indians Have the Idea That This
Nostrum IS Cure for
Insanity.

The general report on the census of
India, 1911, which has just reached
England, is not mere compilation OF
statistics, but is as full of romance
and interest as any novel dealing with
native life and customs could be.
For instance, there is a most inter-
esting note on popular beliefs regard
ing insanity, and Mr.. O'Malley, who
superintendent the census taking in
Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, says that
the lower classes think that insanity
is due to an excess of bile in the sys-
tenn, or to worms in the head.
Neglect of the worship Of the gods,
or the curse of Yogi, Sadha, or
other holy man may produce it," he
says. ut is especially liable to at
tack those who practise Tantric arts,
but fail to control the spirits which
they evoke. Generally, however, it is
attributed to demoniacal possession.
"The spirit which is most commonly
thought to produce madness is Brah-
madaitya, the spirit of Brahman who
has died an unnatural death. Mad
ness being due to possession by an
evil spirit, every attempt is made to
appease or exercise it. The exorcists
held smoking chillies to the nostrils
of the patient and chant mantras, adj
dressing the spirit in filthy and OBJ
scene language, all with the idea of
driving it away. When these means
prove futile they prescribe diet cal
culated to force the spirit to leave
his victims in fear of losing his caste,
for Brahmadaitya is the spirit of a
high caste Brahman. The unfortunate
patient has, therefore, to consume
soup made of toads, etc. When these
abominable nostrums fail the use Of
medicated oils and of Indigenous
herbs and drugs is resorted to.
"The medical treatment of the in
sane prescribed by the Kavirajes
sometimes takes the following forms:
The mud taken from putrid tanks is
plastered on the patients head, or
aloe pulp is mixed with water and
applied in the form of an emulsion.
A favorite remedy is soup made from
particular kind Of frog"

Sporting Instinct Aroused.

cred around him group of urchins.
Why they listened so attentively he
didn't understand; nor probably did
they know themselves. Simply moth
ing doing. But the orator took full
advantage OF his opportunity and de-
livered an improving lecture on the
value of kindness to dumb animals. At
the end he sought for some illustra-
ton to point the moral and adorn the
tale. 1t was there at hand. Across
the way walked a lady, leading two
little dogs in leash. The one was black
and the other white. "Now," exclaimed
the tub-thumper, latter what I have
said, supposing those two dear little
dogs were to start fighting, what
would be the first thing you would
do?" No answer came at first: but

dogs critically and thoughtfully. well,

look like ''Holpos" on the end Of the

camp at dawn when the women with
pots and pans and babies start off in
