Snake charmers Fake.

Ignorant people In India, are easily
duped by the tricks Of snake charm.
ers, says the Detroit News. One of
the fakes Tpracticed is the putting Of a
harmless snake In a~stupefed condi-
ton in house. The people in the
house are told of the presence of a
snake by the snake charmer's COM
panion, thus causing alarm. The
charmer, who asks money to remove
the reptile, begins to play on his bag
pipe, whereupon the snake begins to
crawl into the middle of the room, and
the charmer catches it. In catching
the reptile the charmer says he was
bitten and falls senseless. His com.
panion comes forward and puts a
snake stone on an incision previously
made for the purpose on the mans
hnger. The snake charmer RECEIVERS,
gets up to the establishment of his au-
dience and receives big present,
nnaiiy departing with the snake and
the profit he has made.

Kaxa In a New WAY

The national beverage of the Samo-
an Islanders is "kava," obtained from
the dried fruit of plant known to
the botanist as Piper methysticum.
The classic method of It's preparation
was by chewing. Water was added,
and. after straining, the stuff was
ready to drink. Missionaries con-
vinced the natives that this method
did not accord with the best social
customs. and so nowadays they grind
the kava root in a stone mortar with
a stone pestle. To any unaccustomed
person kava tastes rather like soap
suds, though some say 1t has flavor
OF varnish. Many Americans, however.
having acquired liking for 1t, drink
II Dy the gallon. But the native way
or preparing 1t is too slow for them.
and they prefer to use meat grinder.

Marvellous Patehouli Plant.

From the Little Review we pick this
gem concerning the patchouli plant:
IF only Darwin had lived to see the
patchouli plant! You have heard of
flowers specially adapting themselves
to be fortified by bees or butterflies
or spiders, and such-like? Well this
plant which grows In the forests of
Guatemala can only be fortified by
English explorers. On either@side a
small creyfce may be discerned in the
heshy lObes of the calyx. The English
traveller seeing this plant is immedI-
ately struck by its resemblance to
those penny-in-the-slot machines In the
railway stations at home. Through
sheer force Of habit he takes a penny
from his pocket and inserts II In one
or the crevlces or Slots Immediate
result-a Jet Of highly scented liquid
pollen Is discharged from the spout up
on the pistil lying below, and the plant
Is fortified. Could anything be more
miraculous? And yet there are those
who deny the existence Of God. Poor
fools. The New Republic.

American Rovalista

John Adams estimated that one
third OF all the people Of the colonies
were royalists, that is, opposed to the
war with Great Britain. A minority
OF these favored obedience to Brit

New York alone more than 10000
took up arms for the British. Out of
total population of less than 1000
900 more than 10000 royalists left
the colonies during the revolution be-
cause of their political position.

Derivation Of RIaekmail.

Originally, blacknail was money
paid, in troublous times, to protect
householders and workers of the land
against freebooters. The word "black"
did not mean wicked or wrongful. but
had the sense Of to cherish or protect.
This was customary tribute Of money,
corn, cattle or the like anciently paid
In the northern counties Of England
or Scotland for protection against pill

OF time the word took on added mean.

In the good old days we used to
occasionally take in ten dozen eggs
for years subscription to the jour
nal. If there are any who would
like to bring in ten dozen eggs for a
years subscription, our egg basket
is waiting. Then, too, we used to
swap years subscription for cord
of wood. If there are any who would
like to make the same kind of swap
now, we are ready for all corners. In
those same good old times" the
price of years subscription would
buy five or six pounds of butter, six
or eight bushels of potatoes, twenty
pounds of sugar, and enough onions
to scent up a forty-acre lot, while a
page of advertising would buy de-
cent looking suit of clothes, with
necktie and pair of suspenders
thrown in. But times have changed
since that golden era" Now the
same amount of money will scarcely
buy the tail feathers of turkey

BREAK 0F ONE CENT
 PER POUND DUE TO MONEY NERVOUSNESS

New York, Jan. G.-Thcrc was a break of more than cent pound Tn tn" cotton market today owing to renewed nervousness over money market prospects, larger ginning fig ures than expected and an easier technical position after the rapid ad- vanccs of the last several days. Ral- lies followed on covering but the ilnaI tone was barely steady with the market showing a net loss of 70 to 9t points.
 The market opened steady at un- changed prices to decline of 10 points ln response to relatively easy cables and reports that returns to one of the prominent southern au- thorities indicated ginning of lO,- 0lo,003 bales to January l. Trade buying on the early decline and some support from Liverpool caused ral- lies. After the close abroad prices turned easier under continued req iIhlnG and scattered southern sell ing. Offerings became heavier on reports from Washington pointing to the probability of a further ad- vance in rc-discount rates. For Il time, prices broke very rapidly but d recovery in the stock market and favorable reports from Washington as to peace treaty prospects later led to rallies

Now is Unable to Break
 Back Into Jail

Mexico City, Jan. 6.-The appeal of William o. Jenkins, American con sular agent at Puebla, for nullifica- tion of his release on bail, was de- nicd. Monday by Criminal Judge Guzmanm, in Puebla. According to Jenkins, the $500 bond furnished by J. Salter Hansen, another American, was given without his knowledge or consent.
 Jenkins, who was arrested on charges of collision with the ban dits who Kidnapped him last October, had declined to furnish bail himself declaring he would accept nothing short of unconditional release.
 Neither Jenkins nor his coun- sel appeared in court yesterday. al- tho the state prosecutor Julio Mitch ell and Indian witnesses against Jenkins were present.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Jan. 6.-Thc price of cotton was depressed from the open ing today and the market reached it's lowest levels in the afternoon follow ing the rumor that the federal re serve board would investigate the boarding of cotton. The opening was lower on poor cables and the decline was wdened by the private bureau report of 10,0i0,000 bales ginned to January 1. Last prices were at net losses of 28 to 75 points, profit taking by early short sellers caused something of recovery in the last few minutes of business.
 The ginning figures indicated gin ming this last period of 636 5000 bales the largest output for the period in many years. Reports of a good spot demand in Texas helped bring about a period of steadiness before the a rlu of uffnrnonn cl

Naturally win some, she had no difficulty in keep ing the friends she made. l hopcd she might make friend of Critten- den.

 "Your voice is rich and mellow, MT. Hayes" Betty complimented: her piquant face upturned. Wont you try this, one?" Her nlmble fln- gers ran lightly over the introduc- ton. And Crittenden sang again, better than l had ever heard him.
