One l? surprised to find that in the mental storehouses of many pupils 11# hidden quaint and curious Ideas. din torted historical truths, popular fa" acton, and false beliefs which modern hiHtorlcrtl criticism has long since ban lshed to tli?* roalinn of the hl?torical novelist, the newspaper writer, and tho makei of almanacs.

The king of England caused tho revolution because he taxed the Amer icans so heavily. The king, In the Htudent'H mind, laid the tax and acted In a most outrageous fashion in gen eral. Huch a body at* the English parliament or the English theory ot representation appear to have made uo mental Impression upon htm. A royal eolony was always tyran nically governed, and was much worse than a charter or proprietary government, the word "royal" evident ly striking tho democratic mind a? fundamentally wrong. Poetic JuBtlco Is also ever present aB to the ultimate end of certain nota ble personages. Benedict Arnold and Aaron Iturr always spend their last days in deepest poverty and remorse, while Columbus Btill persists in dying In prison and In chains. Jefferson la a peculiarly fortunate character, for the average pupil InBlats that he orig inated democracy and solemnly statoa that we owo our government by the people to the Sage of Montlcello. He also wrote the constitution. This rather Irritating falsehood is strangely common. ? History Teachers' Mag& zino. Centenaries of 3as.

Kve? in (ho abort span of (ho generation just panning wo ch II nolo changes (hat are startling, if considered on (ho instant and not by actual experience. Newspapers oven l? romoU* rural communities no longer bartor sub script Ion for cord wood. Fbw of them hartor with advertisers and pay their holp with "store orders." Thanks to the compulsory BUggos tlon of tho postal department, sub scriptions in UHt now ho Htoppod a f tor a definite period unless ronew od. Moat of tho men who are clear sighted aro adopting tho "paid in advance" rulo foj- subscriptions. This business system has long boon in vogue with the 1>1k newspsry pors ' and in now percolating I'k way thru tho smaller dailioH and has already reached some of tho rural weeklies, Free advertising Ih being vigorously combated in (ho organizations of publishers and thru I tho newspaper ihou'b organs. Tho local spongers on tho editor's stock in trado havo boon pretty woll educated out of the old prac - tice, but tho organized national a gonclos for getting free stuff Into tho newspapers were nevr more bra zen than now. The Time# gotH on Ho average half a dozen letters a day Inclosing dope on variouB sub ject# ranging from tho Han FVancls co exposition, the eastern railroad companies nnd their trouble* ami the electrical manufacturerB' "new value" stuff down to the "Improve inonts" on the nearest summer re sort. All of these aro of value when published, and somebody gets money for tho insertions, but not the publisher. Improved machinery, including the perfecting prons, the linotype and numerous minor me chanical appliances, is now finding its way into tho smaller newspapers, not only the small dallies, but the village weeklies. The weekly and semi-weekly edi tions of small dally newspapers are dropping out as another Indication of changing times. I'iked roads, ru ral mail delivery, lnterurban elec tric lines, rural telephones, farmers' institutes and parcel post have ren dered obsolete the weekly edition of the small city dally. Of the man ner of editing a newspaper* time has left Its changes in the genera tion just passing. Few newspapers aro now run as party organs. News papers that formerly leaned on po litical or other local sypport now aim to be independent of everything except general principles and of the community in general. Tho purpose of a newspaper is to collect and disseminate news. Inci dentally K may include a little lit erature, and It may properly empha-, size reforms suggested by live men and women of the community. Ono of the greatest achievements in newspaper evolution in the genera tion under consideration is the re cognition by the publisher or edi tor that publishing a newspaper Is a business allied in its nature to manufacturing. Actors, authors, ar tists. doctors, lawyers, singers and chiropodists have long since eschew ed anything like romance in their professional charges. Editors and' clergymen are get ting over the timid tradition that they are working for glory. Too many people in the community have been paying them In glory.? Fosto rla Ohio, Times.

There in now in operation ut I'ort O'Connor, Texas, a machine that It) capable of turning out a chickeo every twelve seconds for twenty-four hours a (lay, an<J for three hundred and slxty-flvo days in a year. This mammoth hutcher, uayu an exchange, is the third of lt? type oullt hy tho Inventor, who wan for inorly a poultry export for tho gov ernment. It 1h the second largest (latching establishment in the world, ooing slightly exceeded In capacity oy a hatchery at I'otaluma, Califor nia, which holds 165,000 eggs a gdttist 1 50,000 in the Texgtt machine 1'orhaps tho most remarkable fea ture of thla plight in the fact that all the eggs, together with room for candling, chick packing, and all en ginos, fans and Amiipment, occupy hut a single floor," 10 hy 50 foot. Furnished with common incubators, Such a room would have Just about tho tiume capacity In throe weeks aa this plant 'has in a single day. This wonderful economy of apace and cost la attained by placing the eggs in superimposed traya like the typo cases In a printer's case rack or the trays iti a fruit dryer. This idea has been tried before, but was not a auccoss on account of the hot air rising. In the present Instance, thUi difficult ty is overcome by forc ing a continued current of air from a centtlfugal fan through the hatch ing chamber, which serves to keep it at an even temperature through out. While this is quite an item of expense, and would not pay with a sail machine, yet in a big plant it is paid for several times over by the saving of the duplication of the small machines, as well as by the economy of the fuel and labor. One of the unique improvements, in the Texas plnnt is a turning system," by which apartments, holding 10,000 eggs are swung oil a pivot and the oggK turned by inverting the entire compartment. This ennbles one man to turn 100,000 eggs in less than two minutes. These eggs are venti lated and maintained at an equal temperature by an eight hundred pound centrifugal fan, requiring four horse power to operate It, and the temperature is regulated to a tenth of one degree, while water sprays regulate the moisture to a similar nicety. The eggs are not cooled from the ti/ni? they enter the hatchery until they leave. Not only have 83 barrels of alleg ed beer been taken fropi a ware house in Greenville where 96 bar rein were stored pending the decis ion of a suit for the possesaion of It, but the two bonds which were signed up in this complicated case, as well aB other records in tho case are missing, and cannot be found. The discovery that the two bonds and other records in the case are lost, wur made when Mr. L. O. Pat terson, city attorney, at the request of the city polce department, made a search for the papers in the of fice of the county sheriff, where Sheriff Toole stated that he left them.
