Wbit They Say.
The Seymour News has chang
ed its make-up from an eight col-
omn folio to a five column quarto.
A uiuch noater style we think.—
Albauy News.
The Seymour News has out
down the size of its pages and now
prints in quarto shape, five column.
The publisher can now give all the
ads "top column, alongside read-
ing matter." A good change we
opine.—Hall County Herald.
The Seymour News has chang-
ed to an 8 page paper. It is one
of the best newspapers that comes
to our X table.—Allen Advocate.
Confectionery in Army Rations.
Candy has been added to the
regular ration of the American
soldier. One New York firm
has shipped more than fifty-
tons of .confectionery during
the past year for the troops in
the Philippines, Cuba and
Porto llico. The government
buys candy of good quality,
■which would retail from 30 to
40 cents a pound. It consists
of mixed chocolate creams,
lemon drops, cocoanut maroons
and acidulated fruit drops.
Th$se are put in sealed one
pound cans of a special oval
shape, designed to fit the pock-
ets of a uniform coat. Accord-
ing to the Evening Post, the
use of candy as an army ration
originated in some experiments
on the diet of the troops con-
ducted by the German govern-
ment ten years ago. They
showed that the addition of
candy and chocolate to the
regular ration greatly im
proved the health and endur-
ance of the troops using it.
Since that time the German
government has issued cakes
of chocolate and a limited
amount of other confectionery
The Queen has just forwarded
500,000 pounds of chocolate in
half-pound packages as a
Christmas treat for the troops
of the Transvaal. American
jam manufacturers are consid
ering a movement to add jam
to the army ration. It has
been found so wholesome for
the British army that 1,450,000
pounds have been dispatched
to South Africa as a four
months' supply for 116,000
troops.—Scientific American.

He Sieved 'em Up.
A Georgia boy's composition on
"The Lawmakers of Our Country"
reads as follows:
. "My pa is a lawmaker. Ma make,-
the laws at home, an' pa makes 'em
when she gives him a holiday. Pa

An Austrian savant has declar-
ed that the human brain contains
a "name ceuter." He says,.that it
is the office of this cell - |o«retain
names. A striking case which
would seeui to confirm this theory
recently occurred at Cleveland. A
brake man was shot by a conductor,
and the former could not remem-
ber the names of persons or things,
although he could perfectly well
describe the functions of all art!
cles exhibited to him. The snr-
geon probed for the bullet and
found it in the exact spot necess-
ary to affect the remembrance of
names, according to the Austrian's
theory. When the pressure on
the brain had been relieved, the
patient remembered names as well
as he had done before his injury
and told thl name of his assailant.
