Justed compensation bill.

Z p. m.
Post Number 100 in the Ameri
can Legion of Iuka has received
from department headquarters the
American Legion a quantity O.
ballots that are to be used in Sc
curing the exact views of the ex.
service men of this territory on the
much talked about adjusted com
pensation bill 1t is a known
fact that Congress does not know
what the men are likely to take il
the bill passes, and it is this fact
alone that is holding up the pas
sage of the bill more than any
OOlcI JuluS.
Ex service men whether mem
bers of the Legion or not should
not miss this great opportunity to
express their sentiments on the
bill, either for it or against it.
The Legion has been putting up
a hard fight in behalf of the bill
and should have the support of
every ex service man of this coun.
ty that is for it. However, if an
ex-service man is against the bill
he should express his idea about it
at the meeting as the matter is
not one sided affair, some are for
the bill and some are against It.
Every post in the State of Mis-.
sissippi will hold a meeting either
on the 18th, 10th, 18th, or 18th,
of this month and it is predicted
that at least thirty thousand bal
lots will be cast. The data will
then be compiled and the result
wired to Washington.
The bill as it stands today con-
contains five plans, however, the
ex service man will only be allowed
to participate in one plan. The
bill will be fully explained at the
meeting and the men will be able
to make their probable choice.
An cx service man will be the
main speaker at the meeting and
will give those present a clear ex-
PLANTATION of the bill.

Ruskin's "FIoWer Weddinq."

There is a beautiful passage about
the flower in one of Ruskin's letters.
"You will find" he says, "that, in fact,
all plants are composed of essentially
two parasitic leaf and the root-one
loving the light, the other darkness
one liking to be clean, the other to
be dirty; one liking to grow for the
most part up, the other for the most
part down, and each having faculties
and purposes of it's own.
"But the pure one which loves the
light has, above all things, the pur-
pose of being married to another leaf,
and having child leaves, and chill
dren's children of leaves, to make the
earth fair forever And when the
leaves marry they put Oh wedding
robes and are more glorious than Sol
ONION in all his glory, and they have
feasts of honey, and we call them
flowers"

DAMAGE DONE TO COLISEUM
English Writer Criticizes Action Of
the Authorities in Removing
Ivy From the Walls.

For many centuries down to Febru-
airy l, 1872, there was a solemn pro-
cession from the Church of San Glenn
ente to the Coliseum in Rome, carry
ing the relics of Saint Ignatius, the
disciple of st. John and companion
of Polycarp, around the scene where
on that date he had been devoured
by lions as the first of the martyrs
of the Coliseum. The spot where
shortly after his death lis Christians
were shot down by arrows was
marked, until 1872, by cross which
was then destroyed.

Albania Defied Sultan.

In the 25 years that Amureth II was
Sultan of Turkey, he conquered two
empires, IL kingdoms and 500 cities
but there was one little kingdom, ly-
ing at his very door, which for quar-
ter of a century successfully defied
and resisted Turkish Mohammedism
and gave Amureth II more treu-
BILE than all his other enemies COM
bined. The kingdom was Albania.
John Gratiot, leader of the AL
banians, repealed 20 separate inva-
sions of the sultan's army. All in all,
nearly 100000 Turkish soldiers were
dispatched to conquer the little coun-
try which " protected at no time
by more thai 10000 Albanians. The
Turks suffered frightful losses.
At last after Is years of the most
stubborn resistance recorded by his
tory, Albania yielded, but not till Ora
tiot himself had been harvested by
the inevitable grim reaper.

Master Of Style.

The truth of the matter is, that
neither he who is fop in the world is
a fit man to be alone, nor he who has
set his heart much upon the world,
though he has never SO much under
standing; so that solitude can be well
fitted and sit right but upon very
few persons. They must have enough
knowledge of the world to see the
vanity of it, and enough virtue to
despise all vanity; if the mind be pos
sessed with any lust or passions, a
man had better be in fair than in a
wood alone. They may, like petty
thieves, cheat us perhaps and pick our
pockets in the midst eof company, but
like robbers they use to strip and bind,
or murder us, when they catch us
alone. This is but to retreat from men
to fall into the hands Of DEVILS

MYSTERY IN STREET LAMP
One in London Apparently Has Power
to Light VI and Extin-
quish Itself.


At Streatham, near London, that
pretty suburb where Doctor johnson
spent many days at the house of his
friends, the Thales, an experiment has
lately been made that would have in
terested the contrOversialist and prob
ably caused him to rattle his stick flu
riously and declare that lamps do not
light themselves.
The people of Streatham nowadays
take things more quietly and probably
their only observation on this particu-
lar occasion was that the lamp had
just had new coat Of paint, was max
ing curious ticking sound, and with
that they ceased to think on the mat
ter until at dusk, without further
warning the streets leap into brilliant
light. The ticking lamp-post contin-
ued it's illumination until dawn ap-
peared, when just as mysteriously as
the light had burst forth it went out !;
self-lighting and self-extinguishing
1t Is just as well that Boswell was
not able to tackle the doctor upon the
subject and record in his invaluable
notebook the irate answers to his ex-
asperating and in the case of the self
governing lamp endless questions.

DOLPHIN GIFTED BY NATURE
Rarely Beautiful in coIoring, and Be.
Iieved to Be the Speediest
Of All Fishes.

Of the game fishes the dolphin must
be mentioned in the front rank, says
a writer in the National Geographic
Magazine. There is probably no other
citizen of the deep which travels so
swiftly. It spends it's entire life in
the open seas. While idling, it's move
ments are sluggish, but when in quest
of it's prey it moves with incredible
rapidity, and to one observing it's
movements it appears like nothing so
much as a dash of color in the sea-
yellow-blue-whit streak that is
almost lost in the green water.
Of all deep-water fishes, the dol
phin possesses the greatest power to
change it's color. A dying dolphin
affords a most beautiful and spec
tacular sight, when, with all the
iridescence of an opal, it changes hue
so rapidly that the brain can not
grasp the beauty Of one color before
another comes into view. In life it's
general color is blue or emerald
green above, with brighter blue dots
showing on the base; the under parts
are silvery and the caudal and pee
toral fins are clear yellow.

WHERE sPoNGEs ARE FOUND
Chief Source Of Highly Important
Article Of Commerce Is the Islands
Of the Mediterranean.

Few people who use sponges ever
give thought as to how they are OBJ
tanned, says correspondent in the
London Daily Mail. The finest quail
ties and largest quantities of our
sponges come from the Mediterranean
the chief grounds being off the
Greek and Turkish islands-thence
through the Dardanelles to the Sea of
Marmora, and so along the coast OF
Asiatic Turkey and Syria to Cyprus.
Here the sponges are brought up By
divers, either stripped or attired In
full diving costume. When sponges
first reach the surface they present a
fleshy-looking appearance, the sub
stance being covered with a firm skin,
or membrane, in which apertues ap-
pear and disappear seemingly at the
animals will. When cut, the interior
is somewhat like raw meat in appear
ance, being intersected by numerous
canals and cavities. The cavities are
filled with sticky fluid of greyish-
brown color, termed milk"
This is the only living portion of
the animal, and must needs be re-
moved Immediately; otherwise putre-
faction speedily sets in and destroys
the elastic nature of the sponge. Ii
this operation is not performed on
board before the vessel reaches shore,
the filed sponge bags are dispatched
with all speed to the gathering
grounds. There the fluid is removed
and various cleaning and bleaching
processes transform the raw" sponge
into a beautiful lemon-yellow color.
This done, the sponges pass to other
hands for trimming to shape, and
later they go to the graders, who
sort them according to quality and
size. The next process is that of dry
ing, after which they are weighed and
packed ready for shipment.

Ireland, however is not the only
country in which one may find live
stock indoors, as in the outlying vii
lagos in the northern part of Russia
the family COW (nearly every house
hold owns one) is under shelter for
eight months out of every twelve, says
Aondon Answers.
The whole countryside is mass Of
snow for months on end, and 40 to SO
degrees below zero is not uncommon {;
so the poor beasts have to be cooped
up. They are fed-or, rather, nearly
starved, On SIENNA grass, collected and
stored by the Russians during the short
summer, and they emerge when the
snow has disappeared very thin in
deed.
Although living in the same habita-
ton as their owners, they are allotted
a separate apartment. The chickens
are also sheltered in the living and
sleeping rooms and are "hutched" In
the fireplace.
