Copper J8H. ORIGIN OF "BUNCOMBE. Hew Colonel's Name Came to S Term of Reproach. Whenever 1 pick up a copy of the Cougresaloual Keconl and uutuerous other publications and read the Irrele vant speeches therelu reported I sigh for the memory of Colonel Edward Buncombe, "Ulntrd" write lu the Phil adclphla Ledger. TbrouKh uo fault of the gallant gen tlemau himself, there clings to hla name an uuplrainnt aU'tilncance which many of our brave public men do uaugnt to mitigate. Indeed. If there bo such a thing as oue shade's taking vengeance upon another tn the future world Colo nel Buncombe will at leaxt pull out Felix Walker's toutfuo. It wss all Walker's fault that "bun combe" became a term of reproach, and the Incident which mod It so hap pened a century ago. Walker represented la cougrcss a dls trict of North Carolina of wbkb Bun combe county was a part The county bad, been named away back in 17t la honor of Colonel Buncombe. ' Walker was one of those long dis tance orators who without half trying could empty the halls of congress and put them In a condition beside which the dead streets ej Pompeii sppesr great white ways. When upbraided one day for talking about everything ex cept the question st Issue Wslker used this lmmortsl phrase: "I am only talking for Buncombe," meaning bis home county. . And so "buncombe becsma a new word In our language, which has beeu conveniently shortened Into the. collo quial "bunk." MAN'S DECREASING HEIGHT. When Adam and Ive Walked Arwawi They Were as Tall so Trees. ' It wss a . French savant named Henrlon who 2O0 years ago. gave to tbe world authoritative, statements as to the height of Adam and Eve. , He said that th father of the race was 123 feet 9 Inches high and Eve 118 feet 0 Inches. He noted that from tbe creation of these eularged editions of humanity degeneration had been rap Id; that Noah was only twenty-seven, Abraham only twenty and Mooes but thirteen feet in height . According to this French .authority, If the Christian dispensation bad sot arrested this decrease man by this time-200 years sgo-woold have been a mere microscopic object and we may conclude that by our time lie would not have been at all M. Henrlon did not give any explanation as to bow be arrived at his estimate of th height of these ancients. . Perhaps the most glgsnOc story en record Is that, concerning an immense skeleton., said to have been In Sicily. wbicb measured 300 feet In length. This story, however, carries Its own refutation, as U Is said; that found be side this giant wss bis V?Mng stick. which wns thirty feet long sod ,thlck as a telcgrapn pole. . a never calcu lator made the estimate that a walk ing stick only thirty feet in length for man who measured 300 feet would be as ridiculous as one of seven inches for a man of ordinary stature, Indian apolis News.

IFLOUR PRICE IS HEADING SKYWARD I t A Chicago, Aug. 10. Advauvlng wheat prices hit the American house wife hard today. The bousowlfe who buys a big sack of flour today will pay from 10 to 15 cents a sack more for It that she did yesterday. Flour sold at 17.25 a barrel for th bak ers' grade. Yesterday It sold at I8 60. In the last month flour has advanced 82 a barrel and the bak-rs already are considering abandonment ef the five cent loaf and the sale of a 10 cent loaf, slightly smaller thnn tho present "dlma" loaf. While the flour market was ad vancing today wheat prices alter nately rose and foil amid excited buy ing aad selling. Scenes In the wheat pits were like those ot the days when big traders sought to corner the whole world's wheat supply. Every one was trying to buy wheat except those conservative ones who sold to dsy at prices 10 to 15 cents higher I than they bought It at. Just when things had quieted d Jown to ordinary trading somebody broke Into the pit with a rumor that the government had planned an embar go on shipments ot wheat, because cropa were s0 small. This stsrted things again. The market soared for minute. Then someone else had another flock of rumors and prices dropped again. It was see-saw up and down throughout the market ses sion. Brokers tn close touch with eondttlons discounted rumors that1 two dollar wheat was In sight. They said It would stick somewhere around a dollar and a half until something, nobody knows what, throws snother bomb Into the market. At noon September wheat was up half over the opening at 148. December was down at 147, and May down 2 at 155. In the sarly hours May Jumped 3 cents from last night's close, but dropped when those who held much whest unlosded to get their profits.
