UNITED GENIUS AND BEAUTY
Many of Americas Great Men Have
Proved That the Two Can Elk.
list Together.

While Socrates had the mind of
god and the form of a satyr, and many
from that day on have said that beau
ty and genius do not go together, such
Is not the case in American history,
according to Charles L. COrwin, writ
ing in the Seattle acknowledgements.
With few striking exceptions good
looking, well prop0rtiOned men have
achieved fame. Washington was a
handsome man, and Gen. Winfield
Scott was considered fine looking. Gen.
Lee, of Civil war fame, was attractive
in form and feature. Daniel Webster
Edward Everett, Horace Greeley and
Franklin were handsome types of their
periods.
The writer declares there has been
a distinct change in the type of the
American countenance. In colonial
days the typical face was full, rosy
and reposeful. Today the average
cOuntenance is somewhat sharp, pal
lid and expressive of energy. Roose-
welt had the sharpness of present-day
features. President Wilson's chin ra-
dates determination, and Bryan's
smile is unique of its kind but the
features are like the present day type.
Among men Of letters James Fen
more Cooper bore the palm for beau
ty. He was large and finely proper
toned His features were Of leonine
cast, and his clear, gray eyes were ra-
diant with power Washington Irving
was handsome man, as was also N.
p. Willis.

New York and Other Seaports.

AS a result of the great war the pop
uiation Of France has decreased Z per
cent, but the population Of some of
the large cities Of France has made
large increase. Lyons, Bordeaux and
Marseilles are of special interest to
American investors, who have paid
many millions Of dollars in purchasing
bonds issued by these cities. Their
gain In population has ranged from
10 to 36 per cent, the largest being
that of Marseilles, and it is PERHAPS
significant that Marseilles is the prin-
cipal port of France on the Mediter-
ranean. remarks the Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin.
AS the great seaport of America.
New York has made enormous growth
In recent years and the population
mas become so great that not only Is
New York the largest city in the world
but English newspapers now admit
that New York has nearly a million
more inhabitants than London, which
has been for over a century the
worlds greatest city.

NEW LINES SEEN ON MOON
cent Observations of Great In
terest to Scientists.

A paper by T. l.. Macdonald, read
before the British Astronomical assO-
citation, discusses the appearance of a
bright border along the dark limb of
the young moon. According to Mr..
Macdonald this luminosity, which is
not visible in all lunations, has a more
or less linelike appearance, and is de-
cidedly brighter than the ordinary
earthshine, which always Eliminates
the darker part Of the young moon.
The bright border varies in length, not
always extending as far as the horns
of the lunar crescent, and certain
nearly circular swellings of intensi-
fed brightness have been noted. In
general the border is most sharply de-
fined when the moon is 21a days old,
and 1t begins to become diffuse the
third day of the lunation. BY the sew
enth day it is barely distinguishable.
Commenting on these observations,
Mr.. Harold Thomson stated that he
had observed the bright border with
the naked eye, but it disappeared In
the MISUNDERSTANDING American.

Mass Meeting.

Mayor Charles Lauve has
called a meeting Of the prop,
erty holders and other citi-
zens to be held on Monday
night, June l4th, at the
court house at S o'clock p.
m, todiscuss ways and means
of installing a filtration plant
in Franklin, sewerage and
street improvement.
This will be a very impor-
tant meeting, and should be
we'll attended. In fact every
citizen Of the town should
attend and take an active
part in the object for which
it is called. We surely ex-
pect an overflow meeting. A
filtration plant is an absolute
necessity. Our great need
is pure water, The water
Of the Teche is polluted, and
has been for years. Tie ice
we use is made from bayou
water. The meteorological
department Of t he State
Board of Health has declared
that our ice is impure; to its
impurity is partly traced the
cause of the disease that
afflicts our community today.
There can be no safety
when the health conditions
are bad. The people must
use this water ard assume
the risk of disease, or they
must bear the burden finan-
cially necessary to destroy
the disease and bring back
our community to the safety,
health and comfort of better
conditions.
Then let us respond unan-
imously to the call Of our
town officers, and encourage
and assist them in this emer-
gency, not for the purpose
of fixing the blame any
bat for the single
purpose Of facing the evil we
know exists and rectify and
destroy it by the use of all
the means in our power. Let
us act promptly with the de-
termination to succeed.

Facing Death.

Two tubercular eonviets were exc
cuted this week in northern State for
killing their guard in an attempt to
escape. One assured his executoner
that Its pleasure, gentlemen, -
The other, recognizing the electrician,
said ~ m going over the top. Do a

how he felt he assured the questioner
:" was never so happy in my life.'
Both men had little time to live if
the law let them alone. They had
undergone much suffering in the death
house because of their physical condi-
tion. On the day before the daybreak
which meant their death they gave up
their time to feasting. At noon they
had lobster salad, steak and fried pota-
toes, corn, lemon pie and coffee. Their
last meal in the evening included roast
noodles, corn, ice cream, layer
cake, lemonade, candy, cigars and cigar
cites.
This is the way some men face death.

The seventh grade children were dis

cost of clothing. The teacher had told
them about Irwin Cobb's desire to have
trousers abbreviated into knickerbock-
ers or pants" as Irwin termed it. They
all agreed that this would certainly
be saving Of material and then lit
tie Jacob suggested further abbreva-
ton. "You might leave out of them

JAP WOMEN WITHOUT RIGHTS
Many Restrictions to Be Removed Be.
fore There Can Be Thought
of Suffrage.

Perhaps 1t is little premature for
japanese women to think of suffrage
when they are actually prevented from
even passively listening to political
speeches. 1t is curious to note in this
connection that not single voice has
yet been raised against the legal dis
ability Of married women and also
against the injustice-or at least the
unfairness-to daughters of the Japa-
nese law Of succession.
According to japanese law married
women form a class of incapacitated
persons. the other classes under the
same category being U minors, co in
competent persons (lunatics). and 81
quasi-incompetent persons (persons of
weak intellect deaf, dumb or blind
persons and spendthrifts).
Married women must obtain the per-
mission Of their husbands in order
(a) to receive or invest capital: (b) to
contract loans or to become surety;
(c) to do acts having for their object
the acquisition or loss Of rights in i'm
movable or important movable prop
erty; (d) to make gifts, compromises
or arbitration agreements; (e) to ac-
cept or waive SUGGESTIONS; (f) to &C.
cept or refuse gifts or legacies or
(g) to make contracts putting them
selves under any personal restraint
and any such acts done without the
requisite permission may be Cancelled
by the authors themselves or their
husbands.-Japan Chronicle.

by poisoned bait. This is the most
practiced method especially for large
gardens. For small gardens this
bait can be made by thoroughly mix
ing two level tablespoons full of
white arsenic or paris green into five
pounds of dry bran. Then add from
four to six quarts of water in which
a half pint of sorghum or cheap
molasses has been mixed. After the
mash has stood for several hours,
scatter it thinly over the garden or
about the bases of the plants that
have been set out. Put out the poi
son late in the day so that it will be
moist during the night when the cut
worms feed. Do this two or three
times if the cutworms continue to
cut the plant.
Arsenic and paris green are deadly
poisons and should be handled with
great care. Young children, live
stock and chickens should be kept
away from this bait.

Cutworm Remedies

Cutworms are reported doing con-
siderable damage the last few days
to the garden crops and many in
quiries have been received as to the
best method of combating them.
In a small garden the cutworms
may be gathered by hand by digging
into the ground around the plants
that have been cut off. The grey
smooth cutworms may usually be
found curled about an inch below
the surface of the ground. Some
times several may be found around
one plant.
Damage to tomato and cabbage
plants may be prevented by putting
a ring of tin or card board about
the plant, inserting it an inch or two
below the ground and allowing it
to extend two inches or more above
the ground. They may also be pro-
tected by wrapping a heavy paper
around the stem of the plant when
transplanted. The cutworm works at
or close to the surface and. will turn
aside for an obstruction such as heavy
paper or cardboard.
Cutworms may also be destroyed
