Birth of Music.

There are many legends concerning the origin of music. but it Is impossible to say which Is the oldest. By the old Romans the god Mercury was credited with the invention of music. Accord ing to Apolodorns, the belief was as follows: The Nile after an overflow left on the shore a dead tortoise. Its flesh was finally dried up by the hot sun. so that nothing remained in the shell but the cartridges, which. being braced and contracted by the neat. be. came sonorous. Mercury, happening to be walking that way and striking his foot against the shell. was so pleased with the sound produced that the idea of tyre presented itself to his imagi- nation. He immediately constructed the instrument in the forn, of d tor toise and strung it with the sinews of dead animals. And so musi. began.

When Monsieur-the first Monsieur at the court of Louis XIV.-.liscovered at his ievee that his watch had been stolen. presumably by one of bis val. cts, he finished dressing hastily and. addressing them all, said: "Gentlemen. the watch strikes. Let us separate as quickly as We can" What a tact and finish were here!
 The spirit of Monsieur was admira. bly caught by the French gentleman of the time who. attacked by robbers at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, simply observed. "Sirs, yon have opened very early today."-Cornhill Magazine.

CONSCRIPT ARMIES.
Military Rules In Force In the Vari.
 ous States of Europe.

Napoleon in 179s first brought con. scription into force, then it was adopt ed by Prussia after her defeat by the French at Jena in 1906. In most countries where cOnscription is in vogue every man on reaching a certain age-from nineteen to twenty -one-has to undergo period of military train ing. This prevails ill France and Ger many. but in Russia a certain number of men is required only, and if this is exceeded the authorities decide from whom full service shall be exactcd. Of course certain men are excused. such as the only sons or eldest sons of clergymen. etc.
 In Spain and Portugal every man Is not directly called upon, but each To- cality is obliged to furnish certain number, the men being chosen by bal. lot. There is no standing army in Switzerland, but all ablebodied citizens serve in the militia, which is called upon to train few weeks every year. Although compulsory service is the law of the land, the army in the Meth erlands is mainly composed of volun- teerS.
 It is considered by some people that ronscription is unpopular, but in the rural districts of the countries where conscription is in force the inhabitants look forward to the time when they will be called upon as the only excit ipu obaDuo i,, @hnip livnS
 The best conscriptive countries have so Iegislated that when the conscript leaves the army suitable employment is found for him; also, another point in his favor, his period of service is not so long as that of the volunteer.-Lon- don Chronicle.

SEEING THE SUN.
A Travellers Experience Among the
 Natives of Manchuria,

Natives of Manchuria. In Thirty Years In Mukden" Dr. Dugald Christie tells the following story of an experience that he and the Rev. John Maclntyre underwent on a trip they took from Mukden to the riv- CT Yalu, the border of Korea. On their way back they found themselves to, ward dusk one day in a sparsely in- habited district several miles from the only inn. They reached 1t by fordlng swift river swollen with melting snows and found a poor hovei with only one common room and two old men as inDkeepers.
 There was neither candle nor lamp, but the end of Il tarred rope that hung from a beam was burning, and by this dim light looked at my watch" says Mir. Christie.
 "'What is that toyT asked one of the old men.
 "'It tells the time,' answered.
 "'What time? What do you mean by timer
 "'It shows where the sun is.
 Turning to his brother. he asked in puzzled way: But the suns down long ago. How can be tell where 1t is :?
 "'Ai-ya! said the brother, with awe. He can still See it in the glass. What can these foreigners not do"
 Early the next morning we were astir preparing to go on. AS our horses were being saddled the old man questioned us again:

NEWSPAPERS IN INDIA.

 lucky Sort of Way.

They Seem to Be Kun In 7apPy'9 9o- lucky Sort of Way. Americans, accustomed to the hustle and hustle of our newspapers that are enterprising to marvellous extent. would be amazed if not exasperated with the papers of India. One of these sheets recently published this eXplana, tion:
 This is only the beginning of our paper We were not sure how much matter was required to fill it up, and thinking we had sufficient. we did not exert ourselves much to get any more. We therefore beg that our readers will excuse us for the space left blank and promise to do better and get more in the future"
 How many subscribers would that paper have in this country? Still more curious was the announcement of a paper that came out with two columns blank, the editor having the cheek to say that large quantity of exceeding ly interesting matter has been left out for want of space.
 When the average East Indian editor wants holiday he suspends publica- tion until 1t is convenient to resume and, taking the public into his conf dence, informs them plainly why the paper was not issued on the expected dates. With the consent of our read CTS we now propose to take our annual holiday. We are sure none of them will begrudge us our relaxation. ."-St. Louis Globe Democrat

Juan Fernandez Islands Have More Than One Claim to Fame.
 In the Juan Fernandez group of is. lands. 3GO miles from Valparaiso. the Chilean government has wireless sta tion. Three islands comprise the group, but the name is usually applied to the largest, Mas Tierra. closest to the mainland. Here it was that Defoe pie tured Alexander Selkirk Robinson Crusoe) in exile.
 Mas Tierra is of irregular form, about twelve miles in length. but hard ly four miles across in its widest part. When seen from distance the peak of El Yunque-the anvil--appears con spicuously in range of precipitous mountains and attaining height of 5000 feet. From the summit to the base the mountain is wooded. with q wonderfully fertile valley at the foot. Dr. Carl Skottsberg of the Swedish Magellanic expedition landed on the is land in 1908, and the eminent geogra- pher wrote subsequently that from a botanical point of view Juan Fernandez is one of the worlds most famous places. So many wonderful plants are brought together here on small area that one must touch them to realize that one does not dream" Colonial tion of Juan Fernandez began some years ago, and considerable fishing settlement is now in evidence In the finer restaurants of Valpa, raiso and Santiago the Holsters of Juan Fernandez are considered delicacies for which fancy prices are paid. = Argo- naut.

HISTORY IS MADE.
At LEE COUNTY.
FAIR THIS We Elk.

LEESBURG, Ca, Oct. 22.-The Lee
County Fair opened Thursday with a
large crowd and will continue until the
night of the 23rd, when all exhibits
will be packed and carried to the
Georgia state Fair at Macon.
The fair is a success in every par
ticular. Some of the finest specimens
OF corn, cotton, peas, soy beans, pota-
ties, egg plants, oats, rye, wheat, to-
bacco; in fact, everything in the agri-
cultural line are on display.
The poultry display is unusually
good particularly the one made by Mr..
Pope Bass, farmer who resides in
Lee county.
The canned and preserved farm pro-
ducts are very fine and should take a
Lrize at the Georgia State Fair.
The embroidery and fancy work IL
incompatible. Mrs. J. J. Forrester's
display is, indeed, revelation.
The greatest display at the fair is the
one made by the Leesburg schools.
Work of all kind, composition. writing,
essays, carving, drawing and painting.
The Adams gcnool also made very
creditable showing.
One very interesting display is the
one made by Mr.. W. T. Christopher.
MIR. Christopher shows some very fine
specimens of wheat. When asked il
wheat was a success in this county,
Mr.. Christopher proudly turned and
pointed to his display and remarked
There's the proof" Mr. christopher
showed some remarkably good tobac-
co in all sizes, some cured, some an
stalks. The most astonishing exhibit
was box of cigars grown and made
by Mr.. Christopher. The cigar com
pares favorably with any five cent CT
gar. Mr.. Christopher states that Lee
county had many advantages and that
growing tobacco was one of them.
This is the first tobacco I have ever
raised" he said, "and it is no more
trouble to make a good crop of tobac-
co than it is to make good crop OF
cotton"

ium by Col. R. R. Forester, of Lees
burg; School Commissioner Britain,

MODEST EDITOR NOW
AUTHORITY ON SNAKE
BITING QUESTION

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 22.-While var
icus editors of Georgia have been en-
gaging in highly argumentative dis
cussions over the mortality if rattle
snake bites, it has remained for the
modest editor of the little Chatsworth
Times to come forward with the real
dope.
Tired of reading in one place that
rattlesnake bite does kill you in one
place and in another that 1t doesn't,
chit Chatsworth scribe went to the rec
ognized scientific authority on the sub
ject, and from Prentiss Wilson 5
Snake Poisining in the United States,
Arch. Int, Med, June 1908, page 516,"
he quotes:
"Barrfnger states that the mortality
from rattlesnake bite will not exceed
10 per cent, and from copperhead bites
1 per cent. The mortality from water
moccasin would fall below even this
last figure.
There are only 70 fatal cases in
total of TAO, which l have collected, a
mortality of 10.5 per cent AS tending
to prove the accuracy of this ratio,
mortality rates for cases collected from
private sources are respectively 1O.o
per cent, and 1917 per cent"
In other words, getting away from
the scientific method of expressing the
rate in per cents, the highest scien-
tific authority says that about one per-
son in every ten who is bitten by a
rattlesnake dies, while the other nine
get well.
