Mr. Roberdcau has been chief clerk

jhc baa become thoroughly familiar
with all details of the office and his
election would no doubt be a wiae
choice. Mr. Robbin vouches for
the ability of Mr. Roberdcau to
remduet the afflict ia a thoroughly
satisfactory manner.

Qqmmicktikg on the recent agit-
ation at Laredo for an increased
inuporl duty ou ouios from Ber-
muda the Sau Antonio Stockman
ha$ this to say on the subject: Con-
grossminn Garner is to be asked
to have the import duty o Ber
muda onions raised to a figure
mlinrit 1 1ll fon?irti iftroduct will
have to be sold at a higher figure.
It is argued that while the present
tariff levfte 75c er 100 pounds
Akw on iforwien onion.' stiH the
differeirce liu trauaportatiou charges
from the island of Bermuda to New
York and the big markets of the
east is in favor of the foreign grow
?r as agtiinst the Texan. It is also
argued that Bermuda onions can
be grown cheaper on the island
bearing that name than they can
-be grown here. The Texas Ber-
muda onion industry is an "infant
industry" aud the necessary
amount of import? duty should be
levied to make the industry profit
able here. The successful develop-
ment of the onion industry in south-
west Texas means a great deal for
this section and its peeple. It
sound well to say that if our peo-
ple cannot compete with anyone
dee in growing onions better grow
floincthisi else but this is not good
business. It i always good poli-
tics and good business to look after
the interests of our home folks.
Over Chatham way there is a
farmer who was born with an
affliction. One of his legs is longer
than the other. A gentleman from
Albany went over there last week
to see about a summer boarding
place for Ids family. The ruralite
is very touchy concerning his legs
but the Albanian didn't know it.
He met the farmer at the hotel one
night. "Will you tell me sir how
(l happens that one of your legs is
longer than the other?" he asked.
"Met with an accident when you
were young I suppose." "No
sir 'twasnt no accident. They
was made so at my request." "Ha
ha. That's funny. Tell me about
it?" "Well sir I wanted to be a
farmer from the very day I was
lorn. That right leg the longest
one when I'm plowin' can go into
the furrow and the short one on
top ground by gosh without bob
bing up and down like one of you
ordinary city folks would do it.
See?" Albany Journal.
When David Crockett sat in
NatioutionaJ legislature as a rep-
resentative of the state of Texas
he had many clashes with men of
more education but less wit than
himself. It is told of him that one
day while standing in front of his
hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue a
swarm of mules trotted by under
the custody of an overseer from
one of the stock farms in Virginia.
A Congressman from Boston who
was standing near by attracted
Crockett's attention to the un-
usual sight saying: ' ' Hello there
Crockett; here's a lot of your con
stituents on parade. Where arc
they going?' ' The celebrated hun
ter looked at the animals with a
quizzical glance aud then turning
to the other said quietly but with
great emphasis They are going
to Massachusetts to teach school."
Harper's Weekly.
What Do You Think?
There is a difference between a
good thinker and a practical think
er. The accusation is made by
masters of industry that our young
people arc not trained to think as
they ought to think. Not that they
do not pursue the proper subject
matter: they do eagerly and with
nnnrfnf sn cross but the life nrin-
ciplc involved in the trend of
thought is overlooked the prac
tical application is lost in the -eci-
tation.
Text books may be used to ad
vantage as an aid in outlining what
to study but the application of the
living principle must be injected
into the recitation by the teacher
and if the teacher has not an active
realisation of the business world
and her methods the pupil cannot
be made to feel this realization.
But if the teacher has a strictly
business mind and fully believes in
the emphasis of that part of educa
tion which makes the pupil in-
dependent the pupil catches the
inspiration and becomes not only a
good thinker but a practical
thinker.
School woork must in order to
be most successful be conducted
along the same lines as successful
commercial enterprises arc operat-
ed and youth should be tnught in
connection with the subject matter
the principles that underlie a suc-
cessful business career. A pupil
may be able to solve all geometrical
questious read wonders in the veg
etable mineral and animal king
dom and the astronomical world;
he may be able to translate Latin
classify Greek roots read Sanscrit
analyze the thought in literature
all of which is nice right aud
proper and yet fail to make a
single application of that know
ledge to the bread and butter side
of life. J L. F. Cosmos College.

How They Came Into Existence In Ihs
Ninth Century.
A contemplative individual with
some power of observation was ask-
ing about weathercocks.
Why weathercocks?" he asked.
"Most vanes are in the form of ar
rows. Sometimes they are hands
that point with the index linger m
the direction toward which the wind
is blowing. A running horse is
quite popular as a vane. Fish trum-
pets locomotives and many other
forms are used but I seldom if ever
see vanes except in pictures that
can with any propriety be called
weathercocks."
I referred the matter by note to
our mutual friond Dr. Detail and
received the following reply:
"The ninth century was a time
of extreme ignorance among all
countries which now load in civili
zation. An authentic account of
the controversies political social
and religious that then occupied
Europe would make a curious and
interesting list of reading. In Eng-
land the question of how persons
who devoted their lives to religion
should wear their hair and at wnat
particular Sunday they should cele-
brate Easter became so bitter that
the conversion of that part of the
Saxon people who still remained pa-
gans fell into neglect and even
thoec that had been won from idola-
try showed signs of apostatizing.
"At this time by a papal order
it was enacted that the figure of a
coek should be let upon churches in
order to put the people in mind of
Peter's lenial of our Saviour and of
his unfeigned repentance thus at
once admonishing those who wciild
renounce the Saviour and offering
forgiveness to the penitent apostle.

"your ancestors did
not come over in the Mayflower as
mine did and I cannot marry you!"
"Do you know why they did not?"
replied Mr. Johnstone Smythe de
Jones. fWoll 111 tell you. They
wore not the kind of people who

A Vatuable Threat.
J. W. Brooks a great railway
manager of Michigan whose pen-
manship was very poor once wrote a
letter to a man on the route noti-
fying him that he must remove a
barn which in some manner incom-
moded the road under penalty of
prosecution. The threatened indi-
vidual was unable to read any part
of the letter but the signature but
took it to be a free pass on the
road and used it for two years on
the company's trains none of the
conductors being able to dispute his
interpretation of the document.

Mexican Egg Test.
It is a common sight in the plaza
to behold a stall woman who is sell-
ing 2 reals' worth of eggs pick
them up one by one put one end
and then the other to hor lips and
hand them over to the customer
who repeats the same identical op-
eration. To the inexperienced onlooker it
seems as if they wore testing the ex-
tremities of the egg. As a matter
of fact they never touch the egg
with the tongue.
The idea of the performance is
that when an egg is frosh one end
is distinctly colder than the other.
The end which has the air chamber
is the wanner of the two. The hu-
man lips are exceedingly sensitive
to heat and cold and even the
novice at this form of egg testing
promptly becomes a capable judge.
If both ends of the egg reveal the
game temperature that egg; may be
counted &s bad as it is a fairly good
tifn that th air chamber is broken
sad tba cfcrUnti sfctad equally
within tha aKizicam.Hffald.
