TALK ABOUT CARRYING
COALS TO NEWCASTLE.
Exchange: Those Brownsville
grapes shipped on June 6 are creating-
a sensationi They beat the
famous California grape to market
bv four to six weeks.
Then Brownsville, having such
a decided advantage over California
should press its opportunities to
beat the band. Perhaps if the
Brownsville country, possessing as
it is claimed such fine opportunities
in fine soil and climate and with
its vast canals and irrigation facil
ities. could beat California into
market on many other truck and
fruit propositions if she would only
spread herself to her full capacity
Galveston News.
The development of the Browns
ville country has just begun; and
wef do not believe any spot on
earth is favored as is this great
garden. Your exchange is correct
in saying that our grapes created
a sensation, but the shipment we
had the audacity to consign to' Cali
fornia, jolted the Golden Gate like
an earthquake. The quality of the
Brownsville country grapes is un
surpassed, and California takes off
her bonnet to Texas.
HIS PRESENT REPUTA
TION? '
Senator Foraker says the night
was too dark to distinguish whether
the men who shot up Brownsille
were -white or black, .but he pro
fesses to believe it more probable
that the people of Brownsville
shot up themselyes rather than
tnat tne soldiers did it. llie ne
groes of the country can never
repay Sepator Foraker for the great
sacrifice of reputation he is making
in their behalf. Galveston Daily
News.
Senator Forakers' present re
putation is of such a dark-brown
color, that it would hardly be fair
to call it sacrifice if he gave it
away or lost it in the Potomac.
Talk Brownsville, the grand
old town is worth all your eulogies.
BRqwNSViiXE must maintain its
position as the Metropolis of the
Brownsville county.
Work for modern isntitutions
for historic Brownsville. Let us'
adorn the town we iove the town
we love to call home.
Whenever a visitor has once
tasted the glorious 4 Brownsville
grapes, and gathered the luscious
ripe Brownsville bananas from the
trees, he will stay with us forever.
An inspection of the boquets
being thrown at Senator Forakei
reveals the fact thay they' mostly
of the variety known to botanists
as Brassica oleracea and some of
therm are very loud.
How about an electric light
plant for our town? A good chance
for some-one to make money.
Floresville Chromicle. .
You bet your life it is. It's kind
of you to put it so mildly. The big
dividends paid by the electric
companies make one think their
"hep-big" money getting scheme
is little less than robbery. Live
up to your motto. Mr. Chronicle,
be a live fish, do your own work,
build your own municipal works,
such as electric lighting plants, and
usethe profits to reduce taxation
or to make other improvement.

Directions- For, Making "a Smoke Ring
"Box.
A smoke box means considerable
fun for the boys and girl3 -svlio
try it.
Make a box" out of cardboard or
thick paper as nearly a perfect cube
in shape as possible, say three inches
in measurement.
2fext lav a dime or quarter on one
side of it and trace the outline with.1
lead pencil.- Then cut out a hole
along the line.
Then, light a wax taper or candle,
and hold it under the hole so that,
the smoke will fill the box
Now, if you hold the box in one
hand, hole uppermost, and tap the'
bottom, .you can. cause iiny bmVper

Some boys have succeeded in
making a hundred rings from one
boxful of smoke.
See how many you can produce.
The Jointed Snake.
The hoary fable of the joint
snake owes its origin to the pe
culiar facility with which the liz
ard when -seized breaks oft its tail
and escapes, leaving that member in
the captors hand. In other words
the joint snake is not a snake at al
but a lizard It is the slow worm,
known to scientists as Anguis fra
gillis, whose long and slim body and
almost invisible legs make it easily
mistaken for a snake, that by its
invariable tendency to snap off its
tail in the spasms of capture has
given us the story of a -jointed
reptile. But this creature does not
reclaim its discarded appendage
again. It simply grows another in
its place. Housekeeper.
Deafness Cannot beCured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear..
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional .remedies.
D earn ess is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of -the 33us
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflatn
ed you have a rumb!ing"sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars'for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot le cured by Hall's Catarrh
Onre. Send for circulars free.

The Sneezewcod Tree.
This queer name is given to a cer
tain tree that is native to Natal and
other parts of South Africa. Work
men cannot saw or plane it without
sneezing, the dust having precisely
the same effect as the strongest
snuff. The wood has a bitter taste,
and insects give it a wide berth,
For this reason it is much used for
work that is required to last a long
time.
Long Series of Bridges.
The railroad which is to run from
Miami, Fla., to Xey West will re
quire from the mainland to the lat
ter city an almost continuous series
of bridges. These, aggregating six-ty-fwo
miles in length, are to span
the stormy channels separating the
coral islets known as the Honda
keys.
