AUSTIN, Tex, Feb 2.-Governor
James f. Ferguson says he will go
slow in the matter of granting par.
dons. a policy quite contrary to that
Of the Colquitt administration. Since
assuming office Mr. Ferguson has re.
ceived but two recommendation from
the new Board of Pardon Advisers,
and has acted on neither as yet. It
is believed in the matter of death
penalties during the Ferguson admin.
istration there will be few commute.
tions to life imprisonment. The Gov.
ernor has expressed a belief that un.
der certain conditions such commute.
ton might be justified, but generally
where the penalty OF crime merits
death, there should be no executive
clemency.

MeIancholia.

Melancholia does not mean depres-
sion Of spirits. A man may be as de-
pressed as 1t is possible to be and still
not have melancholia. Melancholia is
dependency on account Of painful de-
lusions. One of the two typical delu-
sions of melancholia is that the unpar-
donable sin has been committed, that
God has been offended beyond redemp-
ton and that hell is to be the ultimate
goal; the other is that Of impending
poverty. Everything is lost or is about
to be. The patient and his family are
going to end up in the poorhouse. His
acts alone have brought about this ter
rible calamity from which there Is no
escape. 1t can be readily seen that a
person having decisions of this type
must be necessarily depressed. There
is probably no form Of insanity In
which the anguish Of the patient equals
that Of the melancholiac. Life is one
continuous MISUNDERSTANDING.

The waterspout at sea and the tor
nado on land are manifestations Of
great instability Of the atmosphere In
a vertical direction, caused either by
an abnormally warm surface layer Of
air or an abnormally cold layer at the
cloud level, says Nature. The former
cause Is common In summer; the lat
ter occurs both In summer and winter
and is usually associated with Zine
squall" or V shaped barometric de-
preston. The waterspout shows the
track along which surface air passes
spirally upward to restore equilibrium.
The commotion of the sea is due to
the exceedingly violent character of
the phenomenon. The funnel itself Is
probably composed partly Of moisture
condensed out Of air by the sudden
diminution Of pressure which occurs
and partly of sea water Ia the form of
spray. Sometimes the middle portion
of the visible funnel is absent, but
there must In that case be a CORE
spending complete funnel of rotating
air from the surface Of the cloud.

FEARS WILSON WILL LOSE
VOTE BY HIS MARRIAGE

Lansing, Oct. 27.-What is generally
conceded to be the most humorous let
ter ever received at the Office OF the at
torney general came yesterday from a
man in central Michigan who fears
that Pre- sident Wilson will forfeit his
right to citizenship by his marriage to
Mrs. Norman Gait who boasts of Indian
blood in her veins
He wants legal opinion from the at
torney general as to whether the mar
rage OF President Wilson to Mrs. Gait
will make the nations chief executive
q "souaw man" he is strong 10 the
opiuion that all Indian descent are
"foreig ners" and that the marriage of
white man to a woman Of Indian descent
causes him to forfeit all rights to citizen
ship.
The writer or the letter declares that
the government has always classed
woman with Indians as far as the right
to vote is concerned and he claims that
this fact Is enough to disfrancise the
President.
Attorney General Fellows has not
yet found time to reply to this letter
and it 10 needless to say thst the states

The Machete.

Because IT is as useful in peace as in
war the Spanish American machete has
a distinction of Its own as a weapon.
1t is sword. spade, hedging bill, ak,
Ratchet and pruning knife. 1t is first
cousin to the United States cavalry
saber, and almost every male In Span
ish American countries above the age
of childhood carries one. The laborer
carries 1t to cut sugar cane, prepare
f1rewoOd and trench ground for his
crop. The horseman wears 1t to cut
his way through woodlands during
journeys over rough country. The hi
dalgo wears 1t with silvered hilt and
tasseled scabbard. His humber neigh
Dor is content to carry it bare and hilt-
ed with horn. wood or leather. The
machete Is made In about thirty differ
ent forms, and the blade varies In
length from ten to twenty inches. 1t
may be blunt. pointed, curved or
straight. broad or narrow. The favor
tie with the laborer is Of medium
length. with unornamented handle and
broad. straight blade.-Boston Herald

Who would believe that among crea-
lures having well developed domestic
instincts we must include the humble
crabs, tho spiders Of the sea-" as VIC
tor Hugo calls themi Once under wa

ing a pair OF them ON the Yorkshire
coast, In England, and, after marking
them, carrying them south flfty miles
or more, returning first one and then
the other to the water at different
points on the shore. Then the York
shire crabbers carefully searched their
traps as they made each haul. on the
lookout for the possible return OF the
wanderers. Strange to relate. one day

caught a second time, having made
their way back across the intervening
miles of sea bottom to their Yorkshire

Storks.

We have no true stork In this coun-
try, but we have the ibis, which be-
longs to the stork family. This bird,
which breeds in the far southern states,
often goes as far north as Indiana,
for 1t is bird of long and easy flight,
standing thirty or thirty -one inches in
its length Of body. Its plumage is
white, but wings and tail are black.
1t is considered a bird of gentleness
and good nature, associating with
ducks, geese and other water fowl on
pleasant terms.
The white stork Of Europe migrates
to Africa I'm winter. 1t comes and goes
in great focks, returning year after
year to Denmark, Germany and other
parts Of central Europe, where the
birds are welcomed and protected on
account of their value as scavengers.
The common name for the stork In
Holland means "the bringer of good"
and I'm that country, as well as In Den
mark, the people believe that good
luck will attend the house on which
the stork has built its nest.-Savannah

Visiting Cards.

While II would be difficult to say
just when visiting cards were first
used, we are quite certain Of the fact
that they are not Of very ancient date.
Apparently they were adopted in Eng
lish society before they were generally
used on the continent. 1t was proba-
bly, about 100 that they came into
fashion In Great Britain, and II was az
late as ITO when they were intro
duced In Paris. 1t appears that the
first visiting cards were regular play
ing cards, the backs of which were
used for the address.
