The annual apportionment of funds to the townships, towns, the city of Richmond and the school corporations in Wayne county was made this morning by County Auditor Bowman.

DIG THEIR OWN GRAVES. English Army Methods In the Execution of Condemned Spies. '. The ceremony of disposing of a condemned spy In the English army always follows a definite precedent. The unfortunate man Is surrounded by a detachment of Infantry, and afvt-r he is provided with a pick and shovel he Is marched off to a selected spot and ordered to dig his own grave. This done, the tools are taken from him and his eyes are bandaged. The attending chaplain reads portions se- - lected from the burial service, and from the ranks of the escort twelve men are selected at random by the v officer In charge. . ' These men. having stacked their own rifles, are led to where twelve other rifles are awaiting them, six of which are loaded with blank cartridges. One of these is handed to each man, so -lhat no one knows whether the rifle he holds contains a bullet or not. and none can say for certain that the shot . fired by him killed the prisoner. The firing party then marches to an appointed position. The commands "Present!" "Fire!" are given, and almost before the last word rings out the volley Is fired and the spy falls into the grave he has dug. Nearly every man is more or less affected on being selected to form one sof the firing party, and many men have been known' to faint away on being singled out. while others are so evercome as to be scarcely able to pnll the triggers of their rifles. Carlyle'e Bluntneaa. Thomas Carlyle once took Lord Houghton (Richard M lines) to task In regard to the proposed pension for Lord Tennyson. "Richard Milnes," said Carlyle, taking bis pipe out of bis mouth, "when are ye gaun to get that pension for Alfred Tennyson?" Milnes tried to explain that there were difficulties in the way and that possibly his constituents who knew nothing about Tennyson would accuse him of being concenretf in a job were he to succeed in getting the desired pension for the poet "Richard Milnes." replied the sage, "on the day of Judgment, when the Lord asks ye why ye dldna get that pension for Alfred Tennyson, it'll no do to lay the blame on your constituents. It's you that'll be damned." Vulcan. Vnlcan. the god of ancient blacksmiths and metal workers, was lame In consequence of a pretty hard fall he had In his early days. Jnpiter and Jnno had a row, and Vulcan sided with his mother against the old gentleman, who promptly kicked him out of hearen. y He fell for a whole day and lighted on the Island of Lemnos. broke bis leg and received as severe a shaking up as though be had tumbled down an elevator shaft Aesculapius sec bis lea:, but, having only just received a diploma, did a poor job, and for a long time - Vnlcan went on a crutch.

Prece i by Which It la Converted Into Refined Oil. In its original state petroleum is of a murky green color. It is distilled in pans with great furnaces blazing beneath them, and as the vapors arise from the boiling liquid they are conveyed into pipes surrounded by cold water In which they are condensed. The first vapors condense Into naphtha and those produced by further heating give the burning oil. A very small percentage of the crude oil put into the pans or stills remains in the form of tar, which by another process is converted Into paraffin and coke. After distillation the refined oil is no longer green, but is as transparent as spring water and beautifully tinged with purples and blues. It is not yet ready for use, however, since It must be "washed." The fluid is emptied into a large circular tank In which it Is treated with acids, these being poured in and mixed with It by means of powerful pressure from beneath. When it has been well shaken it is allowed to settle, and the acids then separate from it and sink to the bottom of the tank, taking with them some of the tar that remained In the oiL The adds are then removed and the oil Is washed with salt water. Finally It is bleached, and it is then ready for the market Harper's Weekly. Sumptuary Laws. The first sumptuary laws that we know anything about were those of Lycurgus, the Spartan, about 900 B. C., unless the laws of Moses are to take priority. If the so called "Mosaic code" was really the work of Moses, then they must be looked upon as being the oldest sumptuary laws in existence. If, however, the Mosaic laws are no older than the reign of King Josiah. then the Spartan code of Lycurgus Is the oldest At any rate, the honor lies between Lycurgus and the author of the Mosaic code.

TEACHERS INVADED CHICAGO III FORCE More Than 10,000 There Attending National Educational Conference.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, July 8. More than 10,000 teachers of public and private schools are in Chicago today to attend the fiftieth annual convention of the National Educational Association which will open its first regular session at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. The battle for control of the convention began early in the day at the initial meeting of the seventy-eight men and women comprising the board of directors. It was a fight between the progressives and the conservatives. The voting rights of six hundred new members of the association hinged on the action taken by the board. Sex jealousy played an important part. Members of the 'old line' were said to be alarmed over the increasing activity of women, who predominate in number. A Burning Subject. The subject of alleged sex contest for supremacy was discussed by members before the meeting of the board. Secretary Irwin Shepard, of Winona, Minn., said that there was considerable dispute over the construction of the by-lays in regard to the right of new active members to vote, and that the committee may exercise the power some believe it to have to settle this queBtion in the face of the ambiguity said to exist in the by-laws. Two years ago, at the Boston convention, a measure was proposed to restrict new active members from voting if their membership dated back less than three months from a convention. It was necessary to defer voting on this proposed amendment one year and it was tabled last year at the San Francisco convention. According to Mr. Shepard it was the 296 new members admitted at this convention that determined the tabling of the motion. Aside from these there was an active membership present of 930. Only present members are allowed to vote, proxies being forbidden by the constitution. Progressive members of the organization denied that it was a "woman's fight." Members of the Illinois delegation also denied that there was any attempt on the part of the women to obtain control. William H. Campbell, principal of the Wentworth school, said: "This is a figHl for principle, nothing else. There are some men that think the women are trying to get control, but this is not true." Miss Grace C. Strachan of New York city, a progressive and a clever and militant leader, is the only avowed candidate for the presidency, and the New York delegation, which has its headquarters at the Auditorium hotel, is pulling wires for her retention. Fifty New Yorkers arrived early in the day to support her candidacy. The New York headquarters are filled with lady politicians and stacks of literature and badges. At a night caucus of the progressives, T. C. Falrchild of Kansas, was nominated as the progressive candidate for the presidency . A Crusher. Cleveland once made a Jake. An effusive politician burst in upon him and exclaimed loudly, "Mr. President I owe you an apology." "What for?" said Cleveland. "For not having called upon yci earlier, sir." "Well." said Cleveland, curtly, "3 haven't been lonesome." Fairy 8toriea. Mr. Bacon When a woman tells a fairy story she always begins like this, "Once upon a time."

"BOSS" BILL BARNES, NEW YORK.

JAMES TAKES CAKE Jim Braxton, manager of the Richmond ball team, is confined to his home today, suffering from indigestion. Yesterday evening the ball team coming from Middletown to Dayton, got stuck at a little town near Dayton when the power gave out. For three hours the stranded team besieged householders for "eats" without results until Jim's beaming personality got him a piece of cake. He ate it, but necessarily on the run, for the rest of the team was after him, and today is very sick. Jim is going to "swear off" on Ohio cake. THE OPEN MOUTH. Causes That Induce It When We Are Intently Listening. Why do we open our mouths when IntenUy listening? There are three causes, entirely Independent of one another, but acting in unison, for this action. There is a passageway called the eustachian tube, connecting the back of the throat and the middle ear, the part behind the drum. When intently listening we hold our breath, and this permits sound waves to enter the mouth and reach the eustachian tube, and In this way they reach the drum and re-enforce the sound waves that come through the natural channel, the outer ear. In concentrated attention the mind la fully engrossed in the one subject, and it loses control over voluntary muscles that are not directly affected by the subject or the process Involved In the motor activity that accompanies mental activity. The muscles are relaxed, the lower jaw drops, and this opens the mouth. The third cause is referable to atavism, or the tendency to return In form or action to an early type. Early man, like the animals, was urged to action by the fundamental . instincts, self preservation and race preservation. His two alma were to secure food and avoid or destroy enemies. Like the animals, when his attention was attracted by a sound he placed himself In the attitude for Instant defense, attack or securing food. In this attitude bis mouth was open to grasp instantly what came In his way. The tendency to open the month when Intently listening still remains. New York; American. IRrjxnint3i
