Tht Leading Imp It Small, but Mean Out of Al| Proportion. It may not be generally known that the black art flourishes to a certain extent in southern India, especially on the west coast. ?The average Malayalee Keralan is superstitious to the very highest degree. He considers himself to be always under the influence of some devil or other (the number of devils and demigods on the west coast i3 j legion), ar.<l every house in Kerala has a temple dedicated to the patron devil of the family. In this country the place of honor is given by the superstitious Malayalee to the imp lvuttichathen, who is considered by him to be the most mischievous and frightful of demons. This imp is about three feet high, with hair all over the body and capable of any mischief. He is the most dreaded of all and manifests his displeasure in a thousand ways. Primarily he begins with throwing stones over the house of a mart under his displeasure. If steps are not taken immediately after the I preliminary stages of the manifestation of his displeasure it is said the consequences generally are very vioj lent. I It is said that every sorcerer has ! a devil or demigod under his command to do his wishes and carry out his commands. To get the mastery over a devil or demigod, it is said, one has to undergo severe trials. Keeping vigils, incessantly uttering the name of the devil or xne aemi-1 god he wishes to subdue, in crema-! tories and lonely jungles, is the primary duty of a man who aspires to become a sorcerer. On the forty-first day of the vigil the devil will present himself to the candidate who aspires to take the degree of honors in sorcery and surrender himself to the latter., A sorcerer who has already one devil at his command generally aspires to exercise sovereignty over another. | This can only be enjoyed after a great trouble. It is said that the j demon whom the sorcerer wj?hes to captivate will generally ask the candidate to fetch inaccessible and impossible things as a proof that he is sincere and capable of doing any-' thing. They say that such candi-i dates generally meet their demand through the aid of the devil already under command.

Our rate of exchange at the mill is 1500 lbs. of meal for one ton of seed. It is a conceded fact cotton seed meal is a cheaper and more effecthe fertilizer than cotton seed. According to | chemical analysis of each 8861 pounds of cotton seed meal are equivalent to 20QO pounds of cotton seed, but owing to the superior mechanical condition of meal, it is safe to assume that 800 pounds of meal are the full equivalent to one ton of cotton seed, therefore, what* AAA 1 .? eyer excess aoove ew pounds or meal thejfarmer gets in exchange for a ton of seed is so much clear . profit to him in comparison with nsing the ton of seed directly as a fertilizer.

"Talking about war time?," 'said the old colonel, "did any of you ' ever hear the story of Jim Adkins?" "No." "Well, I'm surprised. Everybody in the settlement knew it. Jim was a no 'count sort of a fellow, and the old man .was anxious to get rid of him. so when the war broke out and they were looking around for men the old man gave him away." "Gave him away?" , "Yoa .Tim was in the havloft. and they were about to leave without him when the old man winked and pointed to the bam. , "That was enough, and they got him and marched him to the front. ? "The old man was sorry after Jim was gone, and his conscience hurt him bad. But he hoped for the best, until one day he got a message that told him Jim had been killed and buried on the battlefield. "Then he packed his grip and started right off to bring Jim's body t home if possible, for the grief stricken mother would have nothing else and made life miserable for him with her reproaches. ' "He went to Virginia and was there informed that it would be im- , possible to remove the body. So he 1 stood over the spot where it was buried and wept for tnree days. / Then he went sadly home/ "And, lo and behold, the first , man he met as he neared his gate was Jim safe, sound and right 6ide up with care! "It was some time before the old man could say a word, but when he found it was really Jim in flesh and blood that they had got Jim mixed up with some other Adkids, ^ and he hadn't been killed at all, the old man was hot! He slowly divest- v ed himself of his coat, then rolled up his sleeves and made for hfm!.- . - JB It was the liveliest scrap you efer saw?the old man on top and the two of 'em wallowing in the dust! "It took the old lady and the three girls gnd twq stout darkies to pull the old man off. V-J3 "He never did explain why he did it, and Jim didn't ask any questions, but the next morning he told his mother that while- his furlough ; ? wasn't out, still he knew his country needed him and he couldn't stand to | stay at home under those circmnstances, so he left his blessings for the old man and took the first train for the front."?Atlanta Constitution. ^0 > ? r V4jr .-v a I ^ Why Do Scotsman Succeed?
