with the services of j. d. Mcneil,
building superintendent I'm the employ
of the board of education, who APP
proved the faulty work on the Chero-
kee Heights structures. Mcneil has
been drawing "a salary of 5000 a month
from the school board and is sup
posed to devote his entire time to in
specting the construction work on the
various new school buildings that are
being built at the present time.
Attempt 10 Repair.
After The World had exposed con-
ditions at the Cherokee Heights school,
Mcneil had the contractor hurriedly
attempt to repair the cracked walls
and otherwise W. by the mistakes.
He admitted this when called before
the building committee Wednesday
night. He also attempted 70 protect
the contractor by explaining that the
reason the original plans and speCifi-
cations were deviated from vas be-
cause several changes had been made
in the specifications after the contract
awarded. The written contract,
however, failed to substantiate his
claims.
The only action taken by the build
ing committee was to instruct the on
tractor to repair the defects in the
building. When Building Inspector
visited the building yester-
day, bricklayers were going ahead with
the walls, and the main body Of the
structure was practically completed.

Brains of Tall and Short

''Is it true that tall men as a rule have less sense than those of medium stature And if so, how are we to account for it ? Did not Bacon say something to that ef- feet? Napoleon was small: so was St. Paul we are led to believe; Wellington was not tall, neither were Grant and Me- Clelan G4ittle Mac. There would really seem to be some foundation for the belief, I should like to be better informed upon this head EDMUND M. '.
 Bacon does not assert, upon his own authority that tall men lack brains. He puts into the mouth of another man the assertion to which you allude: My Lord St Albans said that wise nature did never put her precious jewels into garret four stories high, and that, therefore, eX- ceedng tallmen had ever very empty heads" I fancy that Bacon would not have 'fathered. the fiippant saying him. self. Grant and Mcclellan were not tall, but Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee, as able generals, were over the average height of manhood. Abraham Lincoln stood over 6 feet in his stockings, and so did Washington. I have never collected statistics upon the subject. I merely name instances that occur to me on the instant of reftuation of the theory ad- vanced in Bacons second hand smart saying Have readers additional proofs, pro or con, of the hypothesis?

Catching and Preserving Butterflies

Catching and Preserving Butterflies
 T notice that some one asked how to catch and preserve butterflies. l may be able to tell something of value. The net should be made of lace or scrim of some ouiet color. so as not to frighten the but terfies. The bag should be about IA inches in diameter and 30 inches long, so that after catching them the net can De turned and the butterfly secured. To Kill them let fall drop or two of ether on them. Better still, buy few Jumps of potassium cyanide and put into a wide mouthed jar. A fruit jar is good. Pour in a paste of plaster of paris, enough to secure the Jumps in the bottom, so they will not roll around Care must be taken not to inhae the fumes as full breath is sufficient to cause death. It must be labeled poison. The specimen is put into the jar (and the jar kept out or reach) for 15 minutes, sufficient to cause death One may also press the thumb against the thorax which will cause death, although this seems cruel, while the other ways are not painful. Camphor should be put in the box where the but terfiies are kept, so that moths Will not
 
 destroy them Care must be used not to rub off the down in handling the butter flies MARIE H.

There is great lesson to be gained In a few moments with a practical farmer one who knows his business and loves it.
 In Jefferson county reckon none better can be found than J. s. Montgomery, whose farm is located on Shades noun tain, on the Columbiana road. MT. Mont gomery has made a business of raising prize winning stuff and has been success full in many fairs. Several years ago he carried the Jefferson county agricultural exhibits to Chicago under the auspices of our Chamber of Commerce.
 When asked about general prospects for this years crop. he was in good humor and figured the peach crop the heaviest he has ever known, and says Mir. Montgomery, unless some arrange ment is made to preserve and handle this crop one-half will be lost" He says aisoi The people are not buying produce as before They are either gardening at home or learning to do without
 The family consists of himself, wife and two children and they produce their lv- ing at home, and have much to sell. Has only bought one side of meat in three years, cures all of their lard, milks four cows, and sells b pounds of butter a week at 35 cents a pound, has had the same customers for years Only raises chickens for home use, but sells SIX dozen eggs a week, averaging 20 cents dozen, the year round. The work of the farm is done by his family, except by the em- ployment of one hired hand. as the neces- sity demands. His two daughters, Jim mic and Hattie, attend to the canning and preserving, and ever since they were small children they have done splendid work of this kind, taking many prizes at the Alabama State Fair. They have or dc red 20OO cans to receive their surplus of the present crop. having on hand several hundred cans of last years purchase, be-
