No. we do not know who put the
gin in Virginia, but it is certain that
the Carolinas are trying to take the
most of it out.
These days bring a vague sense
of something missing. Either the
clock has stopped or Col. Roose
velt needs winding up.
We learn from Paris that skirts
will be a little more narrow next
year. Well, take it from us, a
number of ladies of our acquaint
ance will NOT wear skirts next
year. _
THE ETERNAL NOW.
The yesterdays are dead; the
tomorrows are unborn—it is today
alone that is ours, that is ever with
us and that makes up our lives and
eternity as single grains of sands
make up the boundless beach of the
seas. Born beneath two heart
beats and dying as instantaneously:
filling the space between the limit
less past and the limitless future
without ever merging into either:
passing with the swiftness of a
weaver's shuttle and like it fashion
ing the fabric of our lives: dropping
one by one into the ocean of time
as precious pearls might slip from
a silken cord into some fathomless
lake: as unfaltering in its flight as
the motion of the earth on its axis,
and ever bearing our life with it
from one eternity to another
there is nothing so real, nothing
more elusive than this period of
time which we call "today."
Life for a day is but an epitome
of a lifetime. We wake in the
morning with no knowledge of
where our souls have been wander
ing whi'e the senses slept: with
fresh vigor and interest enter upon
the occasion of our daily work and
fulfill our duties with an energy
that begins to fail as the evening
shadows lengthen: as darkness
deepens weariness comes upon us
and at last we are glad to lay aside
our work and cares and to surren
der ourselves to the sleep that
spirits our course back again into
the unknown.
Each day has its own alloted
task—no more. It is only when
we go beyond that which is given
us for the day and force the mind
and body to do things not worth
while: when we are not content to
bear the evils of the day, but
harrass ourselves with anticipation
of those the future may bring when
we are not satified with the “'daily
bread" for which One wiser than
we taught us to pray, but strive to
lay up a useless surplus to leave
behind; when the pleasures that
were given us to enjoy in whole
some moderation degenerate into
wild excess it is only then that
outraged nature takes revenge for
the neglect of her laws, and sanita
riums and lunitic asylums are filled
with victims of ill-regulated lives.
Today is a small space only a
lightning flash in the dark. But of
all the uncharted ocean of eternity
it is all that is really ours. Today
exacts little of us, but as we do
that little well or ill we weave the
warp and woof of our success or
failure in life. The duties of today
are small, but as our todays add
into each month and year and life
time, our daily deeds too accumu
late into mighty forces for good or
ill.—Ex.
KEEPING THE LOOK OF YOUTH
Parisiennes Are. Probably the Most
Successful in This, But Many May
Achieve It.
A Russian princess who has attract
ed much attention in Paris this winter,
and who is considered one of the best
dressed women in that city, declares
that nothing ages a woman’s appear
! ance so much as the old-fashioned
i method of pushing the flesh up above
the corset.
How few women who have passed
the “dangerous" age stop to think of
this, yet is it not true? The settled
look that comes with middle age is
enhanced by a stiff-cot'seted figure
above the waist.
Put money into a good corset, have
it fitted sitting down, and in adjust
ing it be sure to pull it far down
and gird it firmly round the hips.
Many women find as they grow
older they must have their evening
gowns cut high. This need not be
done if care is taken to get a corset
that has a low bust.
From Paris comes another hint
about youthful looks. A famous
dressmaker says that real lace ages
women and should never be worn
near the face.
The Parisienne has learned to fight
age more successfully than most
women because she pays heed to de
tails that to others seem trivial. She
makes a study of line, angle and
color, and who will say the results
are not worth the trouble?
It is every woman's duty to keep
young looking. The worst way to do
it is to feign youth through cosmetics
or a kittenish manner!—Cleveland
Leader.
HUMAN NATURE NOT SO BAD
New York Newspaper Man Observes
With Pleasure the Aid Given
the Blind.
If you doubt that human nature Is
i kind, watch the ordinary passerby in
j his attitude toward a blind man. The
[ office wiudow man was riding in a
i Broadway open car the other day. The
car was just barely moving, owing to
some blockade or other, and kept
about even pace with the pedestrians
who crowded the pavements in their
usual dally hustle.
The eye of the Office Window casu
ally lit upon a blind man, walking
alone, with that upright tilt of the
head so common to the sightless. He
tapped his stick incessantly before
him and moved briskly until he neared
, the end of each block, with its hazard
■ ous curb. The car kept pace with
i him for seven blocks, and upon every
block some one took charge of that
blind man as he came to the curb, saw
him safely over and said a pleasant
word in parting.
One young man stayed near him for
three blocks, steering him over the
crossings each time. Probably the
man with the tapping stick thought
the friendly guide was a different man
for every block. Or does his ear be
come so delicately attuned to voices
that he fairiy sees through hearing?
The Office Window man wondered if
the smiles that so often light the
faces of the blind come from the hab
it of thanking people who lend them
friendly aid so many times a day?—
New York Evening Mail.
Sleeping Sickness Discovery.
Reports received from the commis
sion on Sleeping Sickness working in
Rhodesia state that it has been proved
beyond doubt that the tsetse fly. known
as Glosslna morsitans, as a carrier of
the disease.
The commission was dispatched to
Africa in consequence of the appear
ance of the disease In regions where
j Glosslna palpalis (the species of tse
tse fly, which up to that time had
| alone been regarded as a carrier of
sleeping sickness.) was non-existent.
The guilt of Glosslna morsitans has
been proved not only under laboratory
conditions, but also iu nature. Certain
animals can act as the host of the
virus without suffering thereby.
While palpalis is to be found only
In narrow limits, morsitans Is met
with throughout Africa in wide areas,
and the methods of migration and iso
lation hitherto employed will be prac
tically impossible.
Consumption From a Monkey.
A report comes from Russia that
Mme. Gvosdeska, prirna donna at the
Imperial theater, is ill from consump
| tion, having been infected by her pet
i monkey. She fondled her pet when
j it suffered from bronchitis. Inasmuch
as the monkey is suffering from
tuberculosis, the Russian doctors de
cided that the disease had been
caught from the monkey. It is prob
able that consumption would last con
siderably longer in the woman than
in the monkey, and the chances are
that the poor monkey while out of
sorts really caught the consumption
from the pritna donna, who may have
been infected long ago, the trouble,
though, only recently showing to any
serious extent.
Your Temper and Your Cat’s.
Cats are of a high strung and sen
sitive nature, easily influenced by
their surroundings. If you wish a fine
tempered, nice little home loving cat
you must possess some of these at
tributes yourself.
You cannot expect to have a very
amiable animal if you are cranky all
the time. Give the animal credit for
being a good imitator. If you are vile
tempered and given to striking the kit
ten, find no fault if the cat has a like
manner and strikes i>eople aud smaller
animals.—Dumb Animals.
INAUGURATION OF IRON AGE
Authorities Differ as to the Time and
Place of its First Introduction
to the World.
Some authorities incline to the
view that the iron age was inaugur
ated in Asia or in Africa. The ii ves- ,
tigations of recent years have pointed j
to the conclusion that it was not 1
worked in Egypt until the ninth cen
tury before Christ, or in Libya until
450 B. C.; that the Semite adopted its !
use still later, and that it has been
known in Uganda only within the
last five or six centuries. There are
Chinese records of date about four
centuries before Christ that mention
iron. Bronze weapons were employed ,
in China until about 700 A. D.
It is thought that the metallurgy of
iron must have originated in Central
Europe, especially in Noricum, which
approximately represented modern
Austria and Bavaria. Only at Uall
stott and in Bosnia and Transylvania,
from which countries the Achaians
and Dorians are supposed to have mi
grated to Hellas, are found evidences
of a gradual introduction of iron, at
first as an ornament applied to the
bronze which it ultimately replaced.
Everywhere else iron was introduced
in no gradual fashion, a fact that
implies a foreign origin.
Meteoric iron was known in Egypt
in remote antiquity, but no doubt it
was worked as flints are worked, by
cutting or chipping, arid was not
smelted. In other words, it was the
metallurgy, not the knowledge of iron,
that originated in Central Europe.
DOCTOR FEELS HIS HANDICAP
Recognizes Distinct Limitations When
Called On to Cope With Modern
"Scientific” Babe.
Reeause the doctor did not put ou
his seven-league hoots and start the
minute he heard there was a sick
child in the neighborhood, the woman
who had summoned him accused him
of inhumanity. Hut the doctor pro
tested that he was not inhuman.
"I am not anxious to respond,” he
said, 'because the parents will not
do anything I tell them to and will
get a doctor more to their liking
later in the day. How do I know?
You as good as told me so yourself.
You said the youngster was a scien
tifically reared baby; never knew a
kiss or a cuddle or a germ or a
tummyache until the present attack.
Scientific babies are the despair of
old-fashioned practitioners. The kinds
of babies he is used to are those that
depend mostly upon mothering to
make them well. If an old-fashioned
baby bumps his head or stubs his
toe or mashes his thumb, just let
mother kiss the bruise and it will
stop hurting. Having been brought
up on such nonsensical notions and
believing in them still to a certain
extent, there is no denying that In
treating the new-style baby the old
doctor is not a great success.”
Concerning the Mole.
Naturalists aver that among com
mon animals few have been less
studied in their life history than the
mole. Accordingly a British scientist
his turned his attention to the mole,
with the result that some interesting
data concerning this queer creature
have been collected.
Under the edifice which the mole
constructs above the surface of the
ground will always be found a series
of tunnels. A curious feature, almost j
invariably found, is a perpendicular
run penetrating about a foot below the
bottom of the nest and then turning
upward to meet another run. A mole
is never, one authority contends,
found in his nest, although it may be
yet warm from his body when opened.
Guided by smell and hearing, a mole
frequently locates the nest of a par
tride or pheasant above his run and,
penetrating it from below, eats the
eggs. The adult mole is practieal'y
blind, hut there are embryonic indica
tions that the power of sight, in the
rare lias deteriorated.- -Harper’s
Weekly.
Opened His Eyes.
Sweet Master Chaucer Kpicua and
Amaryllis fair, went strolling by tbo
mill-stream—a most idyllic pair. “My 1
loveliest of loves!" broke forth the j
swain's excited muse. "Permit me to
extol the charms which thus my soul
enthuse. Your little ears, so shelly
pink, for lovers' praise were made; '
no fairy feet than thine more neat,
e'er tripped o'er moon lit, glade; your
eyes are like twin stars of night;
like fine-spun gold’s your hair; your
lips put Cupid’s bow to scorn; your
! teeth are past compare.” Put here a
| playful gust of wind came gayly
through the trees, and whisked his
darling's hat and hair awry upon its
breeze! Alas! why did the maiden
then permit herself to shout, and
cause her lover added pain to see her
i teeth fall out?
Lucky to Get Anything.
The law of the land had spoken, and
the verdict was $5,000 damages.
"Five thousand dollars!" muttered
the senior partner in the legal firm
who had managed the plaintiff’s case.
' Not so bad."
"I think it pretty good,” said the
junior partner. "How much shall
we give our client?"
“H'm! Say $1100," said the seniiii
thoughtfully. "No, stop a minute!"
“Well?”
“We mustn’t be too hasty,” said the
successful lawyer slowly. “Perhaps
you’d better write and promise to pay
i him the three hundred."

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
We take pleasure in informing our readers that we hatfe
secured the exclusive rights in this territory to a new series ot
short stories by Harold McGrath, who is probably the most
populcr writer of fiction in this country today. The publica
tion of these stories will begin next week and continue for
four weeks.
This is undoubtedly one of the greatest features ever se
cured by any newspaper in this territo'y and we congratulate
ourselves upon being able to give our readers this unusual
literary treat.
Harold McGrath is too well known to need any introduc
tion. As the author of The Man on the Box, The Goose Girl,
and other books that regularly have been among the year’s
best sellers, he has attained a reputation second to that of no
other present day writer.
The first stor]/, which will be published next week, is
entitled “The Enchanted Hat.” It is a highly entertaining
tale of a hat which went astray, much to the discomfiture of
various persons but resulting finally in removing the obstacles
that threatened to wreck a pretty romance.
The other stories, which will follow during the next three
weeks are entitled.
“THE WRONG COAT.”
“A NIGHT OF ENCHANTMENT.”
“NO CINDERELLA.”
DON’T MIES me of THESE STORIES. This is an
unusual opportunity and we want our readers to take advan
tage of it. We know that those who have read McGrath
stories will not fail to do so.
WATCH FOR THE FIRST ONE WHICH WILL
APPEAR NEXT WEEK.
