The fear Of being buried alive al
ways has been. and is. so widespread
that the French Academy Of Science
some years ago offered a prize equal
to $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth.
or, in a given case, death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: II the hand Of the
suspected dead person Is held towards
a candle or other artificial light, with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears q scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still oirculat-
ing; it shows itself through the It's
sues which have not yet congested.
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon Of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
llshed the truth Of his observation.

Ganders should be sold at four years

There should be one gander for

RESlN0L CERTAINLY
DOES HEAL ECZEMAI

In the past twenty years. literally
thousands Of physicians have written
to tell us how successful the resin0l
treatment is for eczema and similar
skin troubles. The first use Of resinol
ointment and resinol soap usually
stops the itching and burning, and
they soon clear away all trace of the
eruption. No other treatment for the
skin now before the public can show
such a record Of professional approval.

CARING FOR EGGS PROPERLY
Ample Number Of Nests With Good
Supply Of Nesting Material Should
Be Aim Of Poultryman.

Poultry keepers may easily reduce
the number Of dirty or solled eggs and
losses that result. First. an ample
number Of nests Is, Of course. neces-
sary, but an ample number means no
more than. and probably not as much
rs, are usually directed By poultry
writers. Laying houses are. as a rule.
provided with enough nests, but where
the keeper falls down Is in failing to
supply enough nesting material and
door litter.
Obviously. the nesting material must
Be clean. or the eggs become soiled BY
contact. and # must be sufficient in
quantity. or the eggs are often broken
BY dropping upon the floor Of the nest.
IA houses where the dropping boards
ere above the nests, and the custom is
60 sand the boards, small stones often
5p into the nest and breakage re-
suits when newly laid eggs fall upon
them. The condition Of nests should
Be- noticed daily, and the nesting ma

For Satisfactory Results One Must
Feed Wheat, Corn and osts-
Vegetables Help Out.

Grain is high IN price for those who
keep poultry and have to buy their
feed. It is causing some small breeders
some concern and the question is al
ready being asked, How can ! econo-
mize in the grain feed to the hens?'
II is not possible to economic much
on grain to be fed to poultry II you ex-
pect satisfactory results. The staples
are corn, wheat and oats, meat food,
green food, grit, charcoal and oyster
shells. These may be varied and helped
out By green-cured clover and alfalfa
60 be fed after steamings various vege-
tables to be fed raw, and other vege-
tables to be fed cooked and mashed
md mixed with ground grains, like po-
atoes. turnips. etc, says 3 writer in
en- exchange. These vegetables can
often be purchased very cheaply from
the growers after they have sorted out
the marketable part. Cheap grains,
like shriveled grain or sweepings, are
generally more expensive in proper
ton to the nutriment contained than
1lrst-class grain.
Our advice Is. continue to feed good
grain. If eggs are expected, and econo-
mlze in the way it Is fed. BY this we
mean. do not give the birds more than
they win clean up. Many breeders feed
in q deep litter, and we advocate this
practice, but there must not be three
or four inches of grain and dirt under
the litter as we have seen in some
poultry houses.

SHIPS EXPECTED,

Gulfport. Miss, July 2O.-There are
more vessels up and cleared for Gulf
port from various ports of the world
at present than for many months past.
The G. & S. l. has expected July and
August to be big months for lumber
exporting. Their expectation is borne
out by the fact that there are now
on the high seas bound for Gulfport
about thirty vessels, many of which
are big steamers, such as the SikeI
Stad, which will carry load of hard
wood to England several times the
size of the ordinary cargo. There
will be more vessels chartered in the
near future. In fact, the demand for
lumber is great at several places, par
ticularly Cuba and Argentina, and it
IS simply matter of getting SHIPS
at advantageous rates to carry the
cargoes. AS soon as the ocean rates
fall to normal state, the lumber ex-
port business will go skyward.

MERIDIAN COURT TERM.

Meridian, Miss, July 20.-Prepara-

court are under way and witnesses
and other necessary details of the
court are being rounded up by the
sheriff's and clerks offices. The court
will convene on the first Monday of
the month and adjourn until the sec
ond Monday, the first week having
been pretermitted by Judge Venable,
because of the general election on Au-
gust 3.
The docket for the term is not verv
heavy, unless the grand jury gets busy
and brings in a large number of in
dictments. Following the last grand
jury, however, this is not likely, as
the grand jury will probably turn back
the small cases to the justices of the
peace and only handle the larger
crimes in circuit court.

After night, however he drove up
with it and dumped it into Tinsley's
back yard. He (Tinsley) did not see
the wood as it was dark, but paid the
boy 65c for it and told him he would
give him the remainder, a dime, the
next day. When the morrow dawned
and Tinsley viewed the woodpile he
was considerably provoked to see
about a cOmmon-sized wheel barrow
of wood. About that time Boyd came
for the remainder of his pay but was
told that he would get no more as he
had not brought sufficient wood. Bow
