Watch for them.
THK fourth of March is
a Politician's uncertain
day. Mo is either coming in
or ?ouig out. I f he is staying
in it's Because they haven't
got wise to him yet. I have
always said Office holders
should be elected for life
(subject, of course, to im
peachment for neglect or
dishonesty); Then they
could give their work all of
their time, instead of worry
ing about how to stay in,
and that would do away en
tirely with the biggest so
cial problem we have to face
in this country. And that is
the thousands of Individuals
who go through life just try
ing to get in office. If we
could get their mind off of
fices, and get 'em to working
at something useful. But
what's the use talking about
a Heaven on earth. We got
to die to get rid of the Office
seeker, and then I bet you
we will find them, either
wanting to have Saint Peter
impeached, or to get a job as
Superintendent of the Fur
nace. Oh Yes, I like to for

Fiehermen Who Have No
Use for Hook and Line
" Jr
The negroes of Jamaica have an odd
method of getting fish. They go out
on a calm moonlight night and row
>about until they notice a spot where
the water is ruffled. This means that
a shoal of red snapper is on the sur
face.
Rowing to the spot one of the men
begins boating on the side of the boat
with a wooden elub. The fish are ter
rified and Jump high Into the air, and
some at least are sure to fall Into the
boat. From a d<?*/en to twenty may be
caught out of one shoal, and slnee they
Hre big fish, weighing from two to five
pounds apiece, the take is well worth
having.
The writer has seen mullet taken In
similar fashion off the Florida coast.
The boat, however, went out on a dark
night and was provided with a strong
flare iu (lie bows. Then the surface of
the water was beaten with the oar
blades and t he mullet Jumped In scores,
quite a number falling in the boat nets
Stretched tn receive them.
Told of Crime in Sleep
Talking In bis sleep, a man In Cey
lon furnished the police with a clue
which has led to the arrest of several
men as murderers. An English planter
was killed on his estate by five or six
natives, it seemed for some time that
the mystery of their Identity would
never he solved, .lust when the police
were beginning to despair of finding
any clue whatever, they discovered a
man sleeping near the scene of the
murder, and talking lo bis sleep. What
he said was so astounding that the
police stopped fo listen. As a result
of what they heard, they obtained suffi
cient evidence to later aiTest the man
who had so unwittingly furnished the
clues and four other men who had
taken part in the crime.

Word 44Sleet" Used to
Convey Many Meanings
The word "sleet" has three distinct
mornings in the Kngllsh speaking
world, says Nature Magazine. In Kng
land it is nearly always applied to a
mixture of snow and rain, and the
same usage prevails to some extent In
this country. ' ?
Again, a great many Americans, in
cluding most engineers, have long ap
plied the name "sleet" to the smooth
coating of Ice, due to rain falling in
cold weather that at times envelops
the branches, wires and other objects
and gives us the beautiful spectacle
of tin; "lo? storm." British meteorolo
gists call this "glazed frost," our
waather bureau has coined for it the
name "glaze," and qo both sides of
the Atlantic it haS sometimes been
kiown as "silver thaw."
Lastly, the "sleot"' of weather bu*
reau usage is widely so called in Amer
ica, and sometimes so called in Great
Britain. A few British meteorologists
have tentatively styled it "ice rain,"
but this name has never become estab
lished.
In view of these facts, it fs a safe
forecast that the term ''sleet" is des
tined to cause meteorologists more
worry in years to come than the term
"cyclone"?which most people . still
misapply to the tornado?has caused
for many years past.
Queer Marriage Customs
In iimny parts of India, after the
marriage ceremony the bride and bride
groom are tied together by the corners
of their garments nnd compelled to pu
rade the full length of the village to
signify that they are united for life.
At a Cingalese wedding the presumably
happy couple are tied together by their
thumbs.
In Turkey, when the bridegroom un
veils his bride to have the first view
of her after the.marriage, they both
look into a mirror and then knock
heads together so that the images may
appear united.
In certain portions of China the
bride is carried on a servant's back
over a slow fire, on each side of which
are arranged a pair of the bride
groom's shoes. Another custom is that
of lifting the bride over the threshold
of her new home.
Writing With a "Hill"
How many people would associate
the word "pencil" with a peak or a
headland ?
The word is derived from tlie na
ture of the districts where slate is
quarried, for the earliest pencils on
record were made from slate. The
word "pen" denotes a headland on the
coast, or a peak in the country, and
it is from these old rock formations
that the material is quarried. In this
way we find such names as Penrith,
Penmaenmawr, the Pennines, and
Penzance, all of which have at one
time or another been actively asso
ciated with the slate industry.
In tl>e manufacture of the modern
"lead" pencils, the plumbago from
which the writing portion is made Is
also quarried In these regions.?Lon

pretty certain that weevil is going to be bad this year

him off. Salsbury is the cotton to beat the weevil.
