feet In length. At the base of the
leaves the nuts hang in clusters, the
number varying from three to fifteen,

Scales on the Hair.
If you look at a human hair under
the microscope you will find that Us
surface Is formed of successive over-
lapping scales. The bristles of the hog
bear much resemblance to the human
hair, though their diameter is greater
and the tilelike scales are much finer.
Sheep’s hair has much coarser scales.
It is owing to the existence of these
scales that one la able by a peculiar
process to tell which is the tip and

manipulated the hair always travels

During Whieh It Withstood Doatruo- " ,"n'"
tivo Bombardment For Twelve Days.
Ninety-four Milos North of Paris.
Peronne, the first Important objec-
tive of the French and English “when
the allies’ “big push” was Inaugurated,
la described by the National Geograph
1c society as follows:
The Important railway center of
Peronne, rich with historic associa-
tions of ancient and medieval France,
was a town of leas than 5,000 people
at the outbreak otf the war. and It bad
little Industrial or commercial signifi-
cance, but for nearly 300 years It bore
an honored nom de guerre, La Fueel-
le (the Impregnable), this distinction
having been accorded R In 1536, when
the courageous woman. Marie Foure,
also known aa Catherine da Polx, sac
cessfully defended It against the lm
perlal forces of Charles V, command-
ed by the Count of Nassau.
The title “impregnable” waa dropped
by the city In 1815, however, for In
that year It waa captured by the Duke
of Wellington. Its name stands high
among the cities of courage In the
Franco-German war. during which It
withstood a destructive bombardment
of twelve days and only capitulated
because the civil population waa being
decimated by smallpox.
Had Famous Caatlo.
The French maintained Peronne as
a small military stronghold until ten
yen nr ago, when Its fortifications were
raxed, bnt up to the time of the onward
sweep of the Germans toward Paris
In the summer of 1914 the four tower-
ed castle was still standing, and visi-
tors were shown the cell In which, In
the tenth century, the unhappy French
king, Charles the Simple, posthnmous
son of Lonis the Stammerer, was starv-
ed to death. Charles was kept a pris-
oner here by the treacherous Herbert.
Count of Vermandois, who bad prom-
ised to aid tbe sovereign against Ru-
dolph. duke of Burgundy.
Peronne was the scene of another
act of treachery against a French
ruler 500 years later, when the “bour-
geois king,” Louis XI., trusting to the
diplomacy of gold, visited Charles the
Bold: Two days after Louis’ arrival
In Peronne on a mission of concilia-
tion there came the news of a suppos-
ed massacre of the bishop and ducal
governor of Liege. The rumor whs
false, laut Charles, suspecting Louis of
double-dealing, threw the king in prls
on and kept him In a cell until he con-
sented to sign the “Treaty of Peronne,'
Insuring ail Flanders freedom from-
the Jurisdiction of tbe parlement In
Paris.
J. W. Blasslngame who recently
received the democratic nomination for
commissioner of Precinct No. 1, has
returned from Howe and Van Alstyne.
He states that the crop prospects are
pretty good several good showers hav-
ing fallen around those places that
were not received in Sherman. Some
of the corn, he says, looks extra good
and tlie cotton is developing rapidly.
Funeral services for J. D. Cantrell,
who died at his home. No. 1402 East
Chaffin street, Friday morning, were
held this morning at 10 o’clock, con-
ducted by the Rev. J. B. Goiter of
Greenville, assisted by local Methodist
ministers. The following acted as pall-
bearers : J. H. Taylor, B. D. Dye. J. A.

home is at 1221 South Montgomery,

neighbor suggests that if some of the
carpenters will give a half day or day
to the task it can soon be finished
it will he a kindly deed to do the re-
maining work as suggested. Mr. and
Mrs. Clark are temporarily living in

ing ladies acted as pall hearers: Mrs

Derided Their King.
“This treaty was the most humiliat-
ing episode In Louis’ life, for the peo-
ple of Picardy taught their tame Jays
and magpies to cry ‘Peronne’ and ‘Pe-
rette’ in derision of the sovereign.
Thoroughly mortified, Louis determin-
ed to find a seajiegoat, and Cardinal
Jean Baiue was the unhappy victim.
“Balue fled and Joined Harancourt.
bishop of Verdun, in revolt. Both were
captured and Balue was kept n prison-
er for eleven years, while Harancourt
was confined in an iron cage like
wild beast for thirteen years.
“The history of Peronne goes back
to the days of the Frankish king, Clo-
vis II., who owned a villa here and
gave it to his mayor of the palaee,
Erchlnoaldus, founder of the mouas
tery of St Fursy In the seventh cen
tury. It received its charter from tbe
French crown In 1209.
“The town is situated on the Somme
river, ninety-four miles by rail north
of Paris, and thirty-five miles east of
Amiens. It is twenty miles by rail
east of Frloourt, one of the first vil-
lages taken by the British In the of-
fensive that began July 1.”
FULTON’S U BOAT WORKED.
Experiment of 100 Yeare Ago 8tartled
France and England.
Robert Fulton experimented with an
undersea boat more than 100 years ago.
This passage from his diary appears In
the biography of Fulton, written by
Alice Cray Sutcliffe:
“Second Exiierlment.—On 24th of Au.
gust, 1800, I plunged into the basin
at Havre to the depth of fifteen feet,
having with me two people and a
lighted candle: we remained below the
surface for tbe space of one hour with-
out experiencing the slightest Incon-
venience.”
Fulton tried to Interest France In his
Invention, but without permanent suc-
cess. Then he tried England, for whom
he sunk a French vessel by torpedo. A
storm of protest arose In England over
the invention, for fear this new weapon
of war might be used to destroy Eng-
land’s navy, so Fulton came to, the
United States. .*
