THE KNQCkER AN EGoisT.

If a man belongs to booster club
he is proud Of it, and does his best to
make good. In season and out Of
season he speaks and works for his
home town. But who ever heard of a
man being proud Of belonging to a
knocker club? He may knock his town
in every way possible but he will not
admit he is a knocker, although the
fact is as plain as daylight to every
one else. A man ought to have more
self respect than be knocker; the
fact that he is one, shows he has no
self respect-Bastrop Enterprise.
The above is entirely correct and
we'll taken, except in the concluding
sentence. Far from knocking being an
outcome of lack of self-respect, our
observation has shown us, that on the
contrary the knocker is a profound
egoist He is man, who thinks no
one but himself knows how to do any
thing properly. 1t matters not that he
may be VIGOROUSLY lazy, incompetent,
or inefficient. With a sublime self.
esteem, he nevertheless thinks that his
opinions only are worth while. Hence
he knocks. Knockers are always OF
that class, or they are of the genus,
"self-made." Men, who have risen
through their own efforts alone, are
almost invariably conceited, and in
like ratio, because of their conceit
they are knockers of what others do
or attempt to do.

COST OF A THuNDERBoLT.

A Belgian engineer has been making
a novel calculation, which he publishes
in the Bulletin de la Societe Beige
ld'Astronomie. It is nothing less than
the value of a thunderbolt in kilowatts
and in cash!
He took as the basis of his calcula-
ton the price that the electric plants
of great European cities charge their
customers for current.
Measurement of the magnetism of
certain rocks containing iron ore, he
says, proves that the electric current
which magnetized them must have had
a strength of at least 5000 amperes. In
reality the strength of the current must
have been much greater, since the
rocks were at considerable distance
from the spot at which the thunderbolt
| fell. However, one must be conserva-
tive in treating of such matters, and
the modest figure of 27,800 kilowatts
may be taken as fairly correct.
The lowest price at which current
can be supplied industrially when OBJ
tanned under the most favorable condi-
tons = that is. to say, by hydraulic
power-is one-fifth of cent per kilo-
watt. So the minimum value of thun-
derbolt would be $3.50.
But the author notes that in Brus-
sells, where he lives, the price of cleo
tricity Is 10 cents kilowatt. This is
! the price of current for ordinary house.
hold use in New York. At this figure a
thunderbolt would come to $3.50. AS
the price of electricity varies very
widely in different cities, according to
the conditions under which it is pro-
duced, every one can calculate for
himself what it would cost to produce
a thunderbolt in the city in which he
Ilives.-New York World.

It seems that Mr.. Grace also worked

tainly felt that upleapment to the full
on Saturday afternoon of last week
when the heavens were glorified by a

cloudbank. The "colors seven of the
bow were plainly discernible, and the
secondary bow above it was almost

A MODEST REQUEST.

In his address before the Louisiana
Press Association, the retiring presl-
dent, William E. Krebs, referred Wittlly
to the old, but never OutgroWn, because
ever renewed, grievance of the press
that it is constantly worked" for pub
licity by all sorts and conditions OF
men. Every other laborer is deemed
worthy of his hire but the newspaper
man. Let there be wedding, death,
a new enterprise started, and every
one else concerned gets some recOgni-
ton or remuneration of some kind,
except the newspaper man, and yet he
is the first thought of when publicity
is wanted. AS for charities and phil
anthropies, every one concerned gets
something out Of it, either in notoriety
or through wages for active employ
ment, except the one who tells in print
about it. Even Uncle Sam gets the
postage, but the newspaper office rare
ly gets the price of an extra copy,
Every mail brings some bid for I'M
paid publicity, and it is sometimes
amusing to see how the requests are
made. For example, the New Orleans
Board of Trade sends out circular
letter and booklet of some size with
the request that both be published in
"your valuable paper" (?!0 There is
no doubt that the valuable paper (valua-
BILE for whatO was the first in the
chain asked to do something for

er was paid for getting out the letter
and booklet, the clerk for composing it,
the mails for transporting it, but the
valuable paper is offered nothing at all
for a service, without which all the
labor foregoing is comparatively abor-
tive. Valuable is strictly an abstract
idea 80 far as the press is regarded by
the average man, and yet how easily
is the abstract perceived when the
need arises.

RAILROAD ADVERTISING.

Commenting upon the gradual aboli.
ton of the intrastate as well as the
interstate railroad pass, the Times,
Picayune says incidentally that the
pass issued to the press does not be-
long to the same category as the ordi-
nary free pass" as the former is paid
for with advertising This is true, and
should not be placed under the same
ban as the pass, being purely case of
barter. The newspaper buys mileage
and pays for it at the rate of 21a cents
mile with advertising at regular rates.
Some railroads in Louisiana, among
them the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley,
have discontinued this style of barter,
and claim to pay cash for advertising.
The result is that they advertise very
little, and not at all in the smaller
newspapers of the state. This works
hardship on these newspapers with.
out any gain to the railroads, and much
actual inconvenience to the country
traveller, who misses the advertisement

DIRECTIONS FOR CANNING
TOMATOES.

Select firm red tomatoes of uniform
size, put into tray and lower into boil
ing water for about one minute, to
make skins come off easily. Plunge
into cold water to make fruit firm and
peel promptly. Use a slender pointed
knife to cut out the core, being careful
not to cut into the seed cells.
All cans and utensils should be thor.
oughly sterilized by boiling for 20
minutes. Pack tomatoes in can as
closely as possible to within one-fourth
inch of the top. Weigh cans. No. rs
should contain not less than 20 ounces
and No. 3's not less than 80 ounces OF
tomatoes.

of men in opposition thereto do not
appeal to us sufficiently, to inspire

have always observed that there was
something behind all that they favored
in the past, and the inference naturally
is that they have not changed their

PALESTINE A. SMALL COUNTRY.

The proposal for the internationali-
cation of the Holy Land as result of
the present war has been taken up by
Lord Bryce. Few people realize, as
the ex-ambassador points out, how ex-
ceedingly small Palestine really is.
You might run around it comfortably
in day in a motor car, If the Turks
had ever been guilty of building roads,
for it is only 10 miles by 40 to co.
Even then a very great deal lis being
allowed, for the simple reason that the
Jewish kings really never swung their
sceptres over even that diminutiVe dis
trict. AS Lord Byrce points out, nearly
the whole of the Old Testament history
was enacted in space not bigger than
the State of Connecticut; and King
David in the very zenith of his power,
looked down from the hill cities Of
Benjamin, on the territory Of his
Philistine enemies only % miles off, on
the one hand, and the land of his
Moabite foes. no further off, on the
other. In such circumstances the
dream of those who would information
alize the Holy Land, ought not to be so
difficult of realization.
