UNABLE TO IDENTIFY MUMMY
London Officials In Something of
Quandary as to Disposition Of
"OId Jimmy"

One Of London's problems at the
present hour is what to do with a
mummy that lies at the back Of the
Mansion house in one Of the oldest
churches Of that ancient city. No one
knows where it came from, and the
ocular element around the Mansion
house describe 1t as "Old Jimmy-a
former lord mayor Of London" The
rector is in a quandary over its dis
posal. The figure is perfectly pre-
served; eyes, hair, nose, teeth, nails
and ribs
Inside the door Of the mulnmy's box
is glass lid, which was removed a
few days ago for the first time for
many years. The mummy was covered
with cobwebs, but was still in good
condition. 1T feels like leather" said
an onlooker as he touched "Old jim
my's" elastic ribs. The rector invites
suggestions from the public as to what
to do with the mummy. The mystery
as to. its identity arises from the fact
that during the great London fire in
1866 1t was hurriedly removed from
another church and placed where 1t
now lies, so as to escape the ravages
of the conflagration.

hole the size of a silver dollar should
be cut in the top of the box to allow
the heat to escape.
The eggs are tested with the large
end up, so that the size of the air cell
may be seen as well as the condition
of the embryo. The testing should
take place In q dark room. The infer
tile egg. when held before the small
hole, with the lamp lighted inside the
box, will look perfectly clear, the same
as q fresh one, while fertile egg will
show small dark spot, known as the
embryo, with a mass Of little blood
veins extending In all directions. If the
embryo is living; If dead, and the egg
has been incubated for at least 46
hours, the blood settles away from the
embryo toward the edges Of the yolk.

circle Of blood, known as blood ring.
Eggs vary in this respect, some shoW-
ing only streak of blood. All infer
tile eggs should be removed at the
first test. The eggs containing strong.
living embryos are dark and well filled
up on the fourteenth day, and show
clear, sharp, distinct line of demarca-
ton between the air cell and the grow
ing embryo, while dead germs show
only partial development, and lack this
clear, distinct outline.

FLOORS IN POULTRY HOUSES
Must Be Kept Dry, as Dampness Is
Fatal to Both Young and Old
Fowis-AIso Keep Clean.

Poultry houses may be bnilt with or
without floors. In either case they
should be dry, as damp floors make
damp filters, and dampness is fatal
to both fowls and chicks. If the house
is on dry. sandy soil. dirt floor is
usually quite satisfactory, but as a
rule 1t Is more damp than board or
cement floors, according to the United
States department Of agriculture. Dirt
floors should be scraped and new soil
put in two or three times a year to
keep them sanitary. If hoard floors
are used they should be both tight and
smooth so far as to make them dry
and easy to clean. If possible they
should be eight or ten inches from the
ground to allow a circulation Of air
and to prevent rats from harborins
under them.

CaScarets if Bilious,

Everyone must occasionally give to
the bowels some regular help or else
suffer from constipation, bilious at
tacks, stomach disorders and sick head

activity with harsh cathartics.
What the liver and bowels need is
a gentle and natural tonic, one that
can constantly be used without harm.
The gentlest liver and bowel tonic is
"Cascarets." They put the liver to

 Mir. De Bardeleben will also attend the confernece. The conference was requested by MT. Hilton, who has ex- pressed his desire to make clear the Frisco's position.
 Mir. De Bardelbem has no informa- tion from MT. Brent of the nature of the Cordova contract, which President Kuhn of the Frisco wired Birmingham that. he would forward to him, hence does not know just what the Frisco has offered. Mir. De Bardeleben stands pat on his insistence that the Frisco maintain the same point of inter- change. namely the river side, as ft has maintained for the past five years He holds that the transfer of the Cor dova port properties to the government should not alter the present arrange ment.

 view of correcting, if possible, these 1 conditions"
 | The particular suggestion of Mir Jones is that the farmer use as much of his cotton seed as possible for feed ing and fertilizer and withhold as much
 as possible from the market. The mills go further and recommend to the farmer that he uses his cotton seed for feeding and fertilizer, where
 it is possible and withhold as much cotton seed from the market as feasi- ble that he might take advantage of any advance that may come later in the season."
 Declaring the interests Of the mills and the farmer identical. Mir, Jones says the crusbers will be very glad to have representative at the Memphis meeting to help the commissioners solve the problem. Especially deterrent factors in the market, are set forth by the Texans as mo demand for cotton seed hulls un- precedented stocks of linters on hand; no export demand for cake and meal, oil nominally at 10 cents and no market for future shipments"

O|[ MILL MEN ARE WITH FARMERS ON
 KEEPING SEED UP
Advise Planters to Use Cot ton Seed and Peanuts for Stock Feed, In Controll-
 ing the Supply

Alabama cotton seed crush CTS enter specific denial to any concerted action on their part to lower prices of peanut and cotton seed below that of last autumn, but, on the contrary, declare their earnest desire to aid the producers in stabiliz- ing the market.
 This expression follows the calling of convention of commissioners of agriculture of cotton producing states to be held August 20 in Memphis The call was issued by Commissioner of Agriculture Allgood of Alabama. He made the call on what is reported to have been his information that mills intended offering cents a pound for peanuts and $50 a ton for cotton seed this season compared with 12 cents a poond for peanuts and $60 to S90 a ton for cotton seed.
 In a letter to Commissioner Allgood Cad Jones, secretary of the Ala bama cotton seed CruSnerS ASSoclatlon, says:
 TOO DRASTIC
 'The oil mills are also very much in- terested in this question (the price of peanuts and cotton seed). They realize that the present prices of cotton seed products are so low compared with the price at this time last year. that it will make the reduction in the price of cot ton seed so drastic that it will cause great dissatisfaction and hardship to the farmers.
 The oil mills are very anxious to cooperate with the farmers so that their cotton seed and peanut crops will be profitable to them, and I am sure that the secretaries of the different state associations will be glad to CO., operate with you in any way to inform the farmers of conditions and do any thing in their power to help alleviate the present situation"
