First Rounded Table Knives.

During the first half of the seven
teenth century Cardinal Richelieu, the
faunAoP OF the French Academy, be-
c .m7 offended by the rude manner in
vhic ointed knives we're used and
thereafter caused his knives TO be
rouloed. Before long the fashion was
gen rally adopted, and the pointed
blade, which, in lieu of a fork, had
been useful in picking up pieces of
meat, was abandoned. Since the sew
enteenth century the form of table
knife las remained substantially as

Originally a Chinese Bird.

Pheasants, Notwithstanding their
sristocraJic magnifcence of appear
ance, readily interbreed with humber
kinds of birds, including the common
barnyard FOWL, the guinea hen and the
black grouse. English pheasants are
the descendants of Chinese birds
which, long ago, were brought tc
England and crossed either with
grouse or with some unidentified ma
tive species of pheasant, which pos
sessed no great beauty. The descend
ant of male pheasant and domes

Path TO Complete Success.

Man is the most successful creature
so far, because he has kept his bal
ance, but the worst thing about him
is the size of his brain for it indi-
Gates that he has let himself grow
too much in one direction. Biology
teaches us that success is attained
by keeping the power to improve;
by going cut and struggling; by not
looking around for snap, but princi-
pally by not permitting oneself to

Proper Care of the Eye.

According to Dr. Woods Hutchin-
son, the common cause of homeliness
or unattractiveness in the eye is red
ness, either of the eyeballs themselves
or Of the lids. This is what biolo-
gists call an acquired, not an inherit
ed, condition, and is caused either by
the presence of disease and filth germs
or by eye strain. The trouble can be
prevented by absolute cleanliness and
by fitting the eyes with proper glasses.

The Boil Weevil Quarantine
And the Necessity For 1t

slightly east of Valdosta in Lowndes
and on to the Florida line.
Seed For Crushing Only
In fixing the new quarantine area
for the shipment of cotton seed until
the movement of the next crop begins
On August l, 1916, the state board of
entomology has authorized the ship
ment Of seed from infested territory
for crushing purposes only to oil mills
that are situated within the 20-mile
safety zone. This safety zone is an
area 20 miles wide, just east of the
actual boil weevil line. This applies
solely to seed for crushing purposes,
but these mills will not be permitted
to ship cotton seed hulls to points
east of the 20-mile safety zone until
January l and after.
There will be no restriction upon
cotton seed hulls between January l
and August /, even from infested to
non-infested territory, as there is
practically no danger of carrying the
weevil during that time. Articles
which may not be shipped from in
tested into non-infested territory, ex-
cept within the 20-mile zone, include
seed cotton, cotton seed, sacks used
for seed cotton or cotton seed within
eight months, cotton seed hulls be-
tween August l and December 81,
Spanish moss and corn in shuck be-
tween October / and June 30, living
weevils or weevil stages, household
goods containing any of the forego-
ing. Where no time limit is specified
the restriction is continuous.
Articles whose shipment is not re-
stricted include baled cotton, linters
and loose cotton lint, cotton seed
meal, cake and oil, corn shelled or in
the ear with shuck removed, cotton
seed shown by affidavit to have been
sacked for eight months or more, cot
ton seed for planting after fumigation
by an entomologist, hay and empty
freight cars.
May Delay The WeeviI
Strict observance of these quaran-
tine regulations may result in holding
the weevil in check in this state for
two or three years longer than other
wise. Had it not been for the quaran-
tine against articles from infested
states, the weevil would have spread
all over Georgia long ago. 1t is i'm
! possible to prevent the spread of the
weevil by natural means, but artificial
means may be almost wholly con-
trolled.
Everyone is warned not to carry
| live boil weevils into non-infested ter
ritory. There are very strict national
and state laws against any person
having live boil weevils in his posses
sion, and the penalties for violation
are severe. The state board of ento-
mology states that these laws will be
rightly enforced.

presented by a comparison of the

Atlanta, December.-(Special.)-
The new boil weevil quarantine line
in Georgia has just been defined and
marked out by the State Board OF
Entomology, effective Monday, Deem
Der 6, and a rigid adherence to the
rules and regulations laid down by
the board will be insisted upon in or
der to prevent the spread of the boil
weevil at a rate more rapid than un-
der ordinary natural conditions.
The Mexican cotton boil weevil,
says the department, entered Georgia
in August, and, owing to the very
late season and favorable conditions,
spread more rapidly than anticipated.
1t has now been found in the follow
ing counties: Decatur, Grady, Thorn
as, Baker, Lowndes, Berrien, Colquitt,
Mitchell, Miller, Early, Baker, Worth,
Tiff, Dougherty, Calhoun, Clay, Quit
man, Randolph, Terrell, Lee, Sumter,
Schley, Webster, Stewart, Chattahoo-
chez, Marion, Talbot, Muscogee, Har
ris, Epson, Pike, Meriwether, Troup,
Heard Coweta, Fayette, Campbell,
Carroll, Douglass and HARRISON, a to-
tai of forty, or more than one-fourth
OF the cotton-growing area of the
state.
Conditions Were Favorable
1t has been an unusually favorable
year for the weevil, and it has ad
vanced uniformly through northeast
ern Alabama and in southern Tennes-
see. If it had not been for the strict
enforcement of quarantine regulations
controlling the movement of cotton
seed, hulls, corn in the shuck and such
other articles as are liable to carry
boil weevil, this pest would now be
we'll established in every section of
Georgia. AT the first killing frost the
Weevil went into winter quarters, and
one of his principal hiding places is in
stored cotton seed This creates the
necessity for a strict enforcement Of
the quarantine regulating the move
ment of cotton seed from infested into
non-infested territory.
The present actual boil weevil line
in Georgia as just established, enters
the state from Alabama at Newsville
in HARRISON county, passes through
Tallapoosa and Bremen, then through
Horace in Carroll through Bill Arp
and Chapel Hill in Douglass county;
slightly north of Red Oak in Camp
bell county; then turns southwark and
passes through Brooks in Fayette !;
just east Of Molena in Pike and east
of Thunder in Epson; slightly east of
Junction City in Talbot and a few
miles east of Ellaville in Schley
thence slightly west of Americas in
Sumter, through Philema in Lee
through Shingler and east of Sumner
in Worth; thence through Dosia in
Tiff, just east of Nola in Berrien and
