Any man who would start an
unfounded yellow fever report
.should be placed in solitary quar-
antine for ten years.
"The Wilson County Journal has
decided to give its renders the news
lu broken doses and is coming out
scmi-wcckly. Good scheme.
Yeu.ow fever continues to
spread nt New Orlpnns and Dr.
Tabor says it may reach Texas
although every precaution is taken
to prevent such a catastrophe.
Among the yellow fever victims
at New Orleans was Archbishop
Louis Chapelle. who died on
Thursday. He was a well beloved
ecclesiastic and endowed with ex-
ceptional intellectual attainments.

One delegate to the Bnltituore
Christian .Endeavor convention

Germany is ahead iu novelties of
a charitable nature. In the town
of Hnschmann prizes are offered
yearly for the men who will marry
the ugliest and most crippled
women and for the women over
40 years who have been jilted at
least twice. The money was left
by a big financier who realizing
that beauty is an attraction hard to
overcome made a provision in his
will that out of the income of the
fund not less than $90 shall go
with the ugliest girls in airy year
and the cripple shall receive $60.
Pointed Paragraphs.
A girl in never going to go very
far wrong who is a good chum of
her father and brothers.
There is a family in every neigh-
borhood which furnishes amuse
ment for the rest and doesnt
know it.
Every one has had more happy
days in his life than wretched ones
but how he lets the wretched ones
stand out!
There are so many operations of
late that a man can become dis-
tinguished by arriving iu heaven
all in one piece.
One great trouble in life is that
the paths for going wiong are
planted so prettily with flowers at
the beginning.
Occasionally a disagreeable per-
son will boast that at least he is
sincere but that is no excuse for
being disagreeable.

CURIOUS OATHS.
Odd Way of Swearing to the Truth of
One's Statements.
Export manifest blanks for sale
at this office.
Wheu a Chinaman swears to tell
the truth he kneels down and a
china saucer is given to him.
following oath is then adminis
tered: "You shall tell the truth
and"tne whole trutu. lne saucer
is cracked and if you do not tell
the truth your soul will be cracked
like the saucer" when he breaks
the saucer. Other symbolic varia
tious of the Chinese oath are the
extinguishing of a candle or cutting
off of a cock's head the light of
the caudle representing the witness'
soul and the fate of the cock sym-
bolizing the fate of a perjurer.
In certain parts of India tigers'
and lizards' skius take the place
of the Bible of Christian countries
and the penaltj of breaking the
oath is that in one case the witness
will become the prey of a tiger and
in the other that his body will be
covered with scales like a lizard.
In Norwegian courts of law the
prelude to the oath proper is a
long homily on the sanctity of the
oath and the terrible consequences
of not keeping it. When the
witness is duly crushed by the
sense of his fearful responsibility
the oath is administered while he
holds aloft his thumb and fore and
middle fingers as an emblem of
the trinity.
In an Italian court the wituess
with his right hand resting on an
open Bible declares "I will swear
to tell the truth the whole truth
and nothing but the truth." The
Mohammedan takes the oath with
his forehead reverently resting on
the open Roran. He takes his
"Bible" in his hand and stooping
low as if in the presence of a
higher power slowly bows his
head until it touches Jjie book
which to him is inspired.
In certain parts of Spain the
witness when taking an oath crosses
the forefinger of one hand over the
forefinger of the other and kissing
this symbolic if primitive cross
says "By this cross I swear to tell
the truth." Selected.
