Misplaced Charity. "One of the most amusing cases of misplaced charity," said C- L- Brock, "was one on Samuel C- Cupples, of this city, or at least it is told on him, and I believe it to be true. One day a woman ap- peared in great distress and told him that her husband had died, she had procured a cheap pine coffin, but could not bury him, and her children were starving. He went with her to her house and the A little red oak bark placed in the drinking trough will add to the healthfulness cf fowls. It is most always handy and costs nothing but a very little effort. By care and selection, it is pos- sible to build up a good breed of fowls with the common varieties ; by carelessness and neglect the best breeds will deteriorate. If you are not raising pure-bred fowls you will find that the in- troduction of a few Brown Leg- horns will iaiprove the laying qualities of the barn-yard poultry. The spring chicken will prob- ably be an early bird in the mar- kets this season and thoso who have no broods hatched out should delay as little as possible or they will be compelled to accept the least profitable prices. Oat meal will be found a much better feed for young chicks, in fact, for all young fowl, than corn meal. If you have any difficulty in procuring it, you will find that it will pay to purchase the article of commerco as sold by grocers Try it in one brood and note re- sults. Turkeys are more trouble per- haps than any other fowl, but their trouble is more or less ephemeral, as if they had a good range they can manage to take care of themselves in a few woeks. To fee 1 night and morning will bring them home to roost with groat reguiarity. Poultry raising is fast gaining recognition as a self supporting industry, but it would be folly for an inexperienced person to at- tempt to go into the business upon extensive lines. It is a perfectly safe risk ou a small scale while the profits nearly always prove satisfactory and the lessons are valuable to all be- ginners. The business is easily expanded as fast as all circum- stances will permit. To be most successful irith poultry of all kinds it is best to have all preparations made before the first of January. Fowls moved from one place to another after the first of January do not lay so early and rarely produce so ^jany e?gs as those that have remained undisturbed. It is the winter layers that net the largest profit among the producers, and the early chicken is the bird that catches the high prices. Where chickens are the specialty some form of incubator is best Blake and His Wealthy Widows—They Prove Strangely Ungrateful. sight that he saw was worse than imagination could haye pictured, and they will hardly be so unwise We are going to have a cam- paign iu North Carolina this year against the State election law. Before the question be- comes beclouded it would be well for our people to consider this law, its intent and its effect. The first thing, then, for them to do as a means of arriving at a just conclusion, is to examine the law itself and see what is the matter with it, and the next thing, to look around them and see who, within the range of their acquain- tance, has ever been unjustly de- prived of bis vote by its operation. We have been hearing a great deal, for a great many years, about Democratic election fraud in this State, but somehow no- body is ever able to lay his hand on any particular spot and say, "Here it is." It is always some where else than within the im- mediate knowledge of the man who is talking—it is down east, or up west, or in the centre. If it could be located it would surely be punished or, at all events, some serious effort would be made to punish it. The people of North Carolina can hardly hope to have a better State gov- ernment than they have given themselves for twenty years past as to change it thoughtlessly and under a clamor raised against it by interested and designing persons.—Statesville Landmark. Our colored townsman, M. V. Blake, has been a pension agent at this place for years, and JD this capacity he has been a blessing to a good many poor negro wid- ows and to one or two negro mtn who forsook their Southern mas- ters in their battle for the lost cause, and, after incidentally toll- ing where they had hid their valuables, joined the Union sol- ders to servo as cooks and pose as cruelly maligned and greatly abused gentlemen. Blake talked to the former earnestly and they tearfully remembered, with start- ling vividness, the heroic, self- consecrating efforts of their hus- bands to save the Northern nrmy; he talked with the latter with such fervor that straightway rheumatism that had been con- tracted in their dauntless warfare awoke from a thirty year's sleep with such violence as to draw them double and make them re- collect that for years they had been physicially unable to work. Everything went merry as a mar riage and Uncle Sim gave bis pension jrold to these simple, worthy folk layishly, till a spec- tacled, inoffensive-looking special pension examiner by the name of Brown came to theso parts, and in at. unobtrusive sort of fashion began to make investigations. Blake grew strangely nervous aud rpstless and when he was arraign- ed last Friday before C- F. Mc Kessou, a United States Commis- sioner, he was the personification of six feet, five inches of charcoal misery. "Harriet," he said, to one of the negro women for whom he had gotton a pension, "I wish WAITING FOR OTHERS. A gentleman writing from Geor- gia about the necessity of the people of that State striking out for themselves by establishing more manufactures says: "I notice a great disposition in this part of the country to wait for some Northern man' to come down and start something up. I know of some of the most valuable water powers in the State which aie iu the hands of syndicates, who are waiting for Northern millionaires to come down aud start mills foe them. If these men possessed the public spirit and enterprise so characteristic of the Scotch-Irish of North Car- olina, they would be spinning yarns aud weaving cloth instead of waiting for somebody else to do it." This does not speak well for the enterprise and energy of the peo- ple of "the Empire State of the South," and in fact it is news to many on the outside who have be- hoved that the goaheadeduess of the peoplo of Georgia would com- pare favorable with those of any sections of the Uuiou. At the same time, however, it is a com- pliment to North Carolina, of which that State should feel justly proud, and no doubt it docs. But is not much of what the writer says true in many sections j of the South? Is there not too! much of a disposition to wait for others to take the initiative in the matter of starting industrial eu- tei prises ? Aud is not this the fact in Virginia as well as in some other States? MURDER AND ITS CAUSE. Of Three friends drunk; one them used insulting words, and the other two fall upon him and in murdering him show a fieud- ishness that is sickening, revolt- ing. This was the scene last Sat- urday night, when Phillip Wil- liams aud Sylvanus Morrow kill- ed William Causby- Williams and Morrow are both peaceable, industrious men when sober; but with brains maddened by whiskey they sent a companion into the ttext world, hot with fumes of whiskey and vile oaths, and attli3 same time they eternally wrecked their own lives. This is horrible, and makes one realize with in- tenseness the continual danger, that besets the man who indulges in stimulants. No man who drinks can escape the possibility that under some circumstances he may commit a deed of this kind. This is a hack- neyed proposition, yet, consider- ing the crime mentioned and thousands of others ot a similar nature, it embodies truth aud is prophetic of a terrible calamity that may wreck the life of any man. The person who can drink whiskey and retain reason exception to a universal The natural tendency is to him throw prudence and human feeling to the winds and at times sink to a level lower than a brute.

The which is similar in effect to that of Harriet McKesson's. Another development in this matter consists in the fact that it is illegal to allow pensions to any woman who has had illegitimate children since her husband's death; and it is a well-attested truth that several of Blake's wid- ows have been using their pension money to buy clothes for children born years after their husbands died. Ah! What a beneficent thing this pension system of ours is, arid with what strangely wonder- ful tenderness does our admirable government support these poor, deserving widows and afflicted men! —Morgantou Herald.

The accident to Bourdin, who was torn to pieces by the acciden- tal explosion of a bomb he carrying to Greenwich, lias much to do with this decision. When driven from England they will doubtless come to America. If so, the reception should be made warm for them. As the Philadelphia Ledger re- marks, the anarchist is not a pa- triotic revolutionist seeking the welfare of his country by the overthrow of a government that tramples upon the rights of the publisher who tries to establish a high class periodical needs a large capital, and even then the chances are against him.

Hith erto all of them have gone to the Northwest—principally to Wis- consin and Minnesota—and they have contributed very greatly to the prosperity of these States.

This is a cay of fads. The women are not slow to adopt them. They somewhat took to the big hoop skirt but tt big howl was raised over that because it was pushing off the men—off the side-walks, 6ut of church pews and street cars. But the women have got their revenge. They have adopted the double-shed cloaks, and the high, big puffed sleeves, and they are striking we men folks from the shoulder, as it were. The hard times does not contract these costumes. When they wore the bigGaiusboro hats to churches and halls, we genet ally stood up whon we wanted to see or hear. We can do the same thing again. Wo cau stand it. Girls, wear just what you please. We'll build our houses, carriages aud cars bigger, find if they will not accommodate you, we'll walk, or stand outside aud look through the window- But there's another fad coming on. The reminiscent woman. You will hardly believe it, but it is said that the fashion is for wo- men to talk of great things they havo done or wonderful people they havo mot. Society women expand tipou their trips abroad. Business women chat of the money they have earned. Liter- ary women indulge in harangues about geniuses tbey have met. Tide and times sterns to wait for women while she punctuates her conversation with 'what I did so many years ago.' We hardly think this will be a go. Women do not generally liste to acknow- ledge that they are so old.—Dur- ham Sun. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report He Got it. It will bo remembered that the Alliance store at Chapel Hill was BOlJ several days ago. It seems that a farmer from Chatham county who owned stock iu the concern, amounting to one dollar, was not present at the meeting and did not know anything about the action taken by the stock- holders to dispose of the stock of goods. Whon he heard that the store had been sold he mounted his horse and wont to Chapol Hill in donHe quick lime for his share of the proceeds. He tied the nag to the limb of an elm tree and wet.tin the store and demand- ed his money- He received 75 cents, the amount due him. In tho meantime the town con j stable same along and took tho horse in custody for being hitch ] ed to the tree, and the farmer j had to par one dollar before he j could get his animal.

It is in our opinion, a misfortune that our people have so long neglected products of this kind, considering them too small to bother with. While there has been some chunge in sentiment on the sub ject, we well recollect when many farmers in this county would have considered it almost a disgrace to sell as small a thing as butter. We feel sure that many of onr farmers, if they would turn their attention in this direction, and employ the latest improved meth- ods, could make more money on a dozen good cows, well kept and attended to, than they caa on a whole crop of cotton aud tobacco.

    Misplaced Charity.

    "One of the most amusing cases

    of misplaced charity," said C- L- Brock, "was one on Samuel C- Cupples, of this city, or at least it is told on him, and I believe it to

    be true. One day a woman ap- peared in great distress and told

    him that her husband had died, she had procured a cheap pine

    coffin, but could not bury him, and her children were starving. He went with her to her house and the

    A little red oak bark placed in

    the drinking trough will add to the healthfulness cf fowls. It is

    most always handy and costs nothing but a very little effort.

    By care and selection, it is pos- sible to build up a good breed of fowls with the common varieties ;

    by carelessness and neglect the best breeds will deteriorate.

    If you are not raising pure-bred fowls you will find that the in- troduction of a few Brown Leg- horns will iaiprove the laying qualities of the barn-yard poultry.

    The spring chicken will prob-

    ably be an early bird in the mar- kets this season and thoso who have no broods hatched out

    should delay as little as possible or they will be compelled to accept the least profitable prices.

    Oat meal will be found a much

    better feed for young chicks, in fact, for all young fowl, than corn

    meal. If you have any difficulty in procuring it, you will find that

    it will pay to purchase the article of commerco as sold by grocers Try it in one brood and note re- sults.

    Turkeys are more trouble per- haps than any other fowl, but

    their trouble is more or less ephemeral, as if they had a good range they can manage to take

    care of themselves in a few woeks. To fee 1 night and morning will

    bring them home to roost with groat reguiarity.

    Poultry raising is fast gaining

    recognition as a self supporting industry, but it would be folly for an inexperienced person to at-

    tempt to go into the business upon extensive lines. It is a

    perfectly safe risk ou a small scale while the profits nearly

    always prove satisfactory and the lessons are valuable to all be-

    ginners. The business is easily expanded as fast as all circum- stances will permit.

    To be most successful irith poultry of all kinds it is best to

    have all preparations made before the first of January. Fowls moved from one place to another after the first of January do not

    lay so early and rarely produce so ^jany e?gs as those that have

    remained undisturbed. It is the winter layers that net the largest profit among the producers, and the early chicken is the bird that

    catches the high prices. Where

    Blake and His Wealthy Widows—They Prove Strangely Ungrateful.

    sight that he saw was worse than

    imagination could haye pictured, and they will hardly be so unwise

    We are going to have a cam- paign iu North Carolina this year against the State election law. Before the question be- comes beclouded it would be well for our people to consider this

    law, its intent and its effect. The first thing, then, for them to do as a means of arriving at a just

    conclusion, is to examine the law itself and see what is the matter with it, and the next thing, to look around them and see who,

    within the range of their acquain- tance, has ever been unjustly de-

    prived of bis vote by its operation. We have been hearing a great deal, for a great many years,

    about Democratic election fraud in this State, but somehow no-

    body is ever able to lay his hand on any particular spot and say, "Here it is." It is always some where else than within the im-

    mediate knowledge of the man who is talking—it is down east,

    or up west, or in the centre. If it could be located it would surely be punished or, at all events, some serious effort would be made to punish it. The people

    of North Carolina can hardly hope to have a better State gov- ernment than they have given themselves for twenty years past

    as to change it thoughtlessly and under a clamor raised against it

    by interested and designing persons.—Statesville Landmark.

    Our colored townsman, M. V.

    Blake, has been a pension agent at this place for years, and JD this

    capacity he has been a blessing to a good many poor negro wid-

    ows and to one or two negro mtn who forsook their Southern mas- ters in their battle for the lost

    cause, and, after incidentally toll- ing where they had hid their valuables, joined the Union sol- ders to servo as cooks and pose as cruelly maligned and greatly abused gentlemen. Blake talked to the former earnestly and they tearfully remembered, with start-

    ling vividness, the heroic, self- consecrating efforts of their hus- bands to save the Northern nrmy; he talked with the latter with such fervor that straightway rheumatism that had been con- tracted in their dauntless warfare awoke from a thirty year's sleep

    with such violence as to draw

    them double and make them re- collect that for years they had been physicially unable to work. Everything went merry as a mar

    riage and Uncle Sim gave bis pension jrold to these simple, worthy folk layishly, till a spec-

    tacled, inoffensive-looking special pension examiner by the name of Brown came to theso parts, and in at. unobtrusive sort of fashion

    began to make investigations. Blake grew strangely nervous aud rpstless and when he was arraign-

    ed last Friday before C- F. Mc Kessou, a United States Commis-

    sioner, he was the personification

    of six feet, five inches of charcoal misery. "Harriet," he said, to

    one of the negro women for whom he had gotton a pension, "I wish

    WAITING FOR OTHERS.

    A gentleman writing from Geor- gia about the necessity of the

    people of that State striking out

    for themselves by establishing more manufactures says:

    "I notice a great disposition in

    this part of the country to wait for some Northern man' to come

    down and start something up. I know of some of the most valuable water powers in the State which aie iu the hands of syndicates,

    who are waiting for Northern millionaires to come down aud start mills foe them. If these men possessed the public spirit and enterprise so characteristic of the Scotch-Irish of North Car- olina, they would be spinning yarns aud weaving cloth instead of waiting for somebody else to do it."

    This does not speak well for the enterprise and energy of the peo-

    ple of "the Empire State of the South," and in fact it is news to

    many on the outside who have be- hoved that the goaheadeduess of the peoplo of Georgia would com- pare favorable with those of any sections of the Uuiou. At the

    same time, however, it is a com- pliment to North Carolina, of

    which that State should feel justly proud, and no doubt it docs. But is not much of what the writer says true in many sections j

    of the South? Is there not too!

    much of a disposition to wait for others to take the initiative in the matter of starting industrial eu- tei prises ? Aud is not this the

    fact in Virginia as well as in some

    other States?

    with brains maddened by whiskey they sent a companion into the ttext world, hot with fumes of

    whiskey and vile oaths, and attli3

    same time they eternally wrecked their own lives. This is horrible, and makes one realize with in- tenseness the continual danger, that besets the man who indulges in stimulants.

    No man who drinks can escape the possibility that under some circumstances he may commit a

    deed of this kind. This is a hack-

    neyed proposition, yet, consider- ing the crime mentioned and

    thousands of others ot a similar nature, it embodies truth aud is prophetic of a terrible calamity that may wreck the life of any

    Another development in this

    matter consists in the fact that it is illegal to allow pensions to any

    woman who has had illegitimate children since her husband's

    death; and it is a well-attested truth that several of Blake's wid- ows have been using their pension

    money to buy clothes for children

    born years after their husbands died. •

    credited with putting the Re- publicans and the filibustering Democrats in a hole-

    You can hear on all sides, from the Thirdies of course, that Mr.

    Cleveland will veto Mr. Bland's

    silver bill. Well they said it

    would aever pass the House, and as fast as we give them one thing they want they jump to some- tLing else and "but" Aint they fanny creatures any how? Fleas are stable in all their habits as compared with these "re-

    fawmers."

    suit: for the bill one huadred aud sixty eight, against it one hundred and twenty nine, being the large majority of thirty nine

    All of the Populists voted with the Democrats aud nineteen Re- publicans. There were fifty Democrats who voted against the

    bill with the bulk of the Republi-

    cans. It will be seen that nearly three fourths of the Democrats present in the House voted for

    the bill. The fifty that voted against it were mainly from the

    north, northeast and cat. The bill now goes to the Sen-

    ate where it will evidently pass as there is a strong feeling in this

    body in favor of it as was shown when the bill to repeal the Sher-

    man law was being discussed. It will then be signed by the Presi- dent auci we will have over fifty

    millions dollars of silver put into circulation. It is probable that the tariff bill will be disposed of

    in the Senate before this bill is

    taken up. Meanwhile listen out for the opponents of Democracy

    as they howl that the bill has been pigeon-holed iu the Senate.

    Don't be alarmed the silver bill

    will become a law. Below is the text of the bill: ••That the Secretary of the Treasury

    ihaU immediately cause to be coined a« fast as practicable the silver bullion heM in the Treasury, purchased under the ac- of July 14, 1690, entitled 'An ad directing; the purchase of silver tril- lion and the issuing of Treasury notes thereon, and ft>r other purposes.' to the amount of the gain or seigniorage of inch bullion, to-wit; The sum of $»•,- 120,631, and such coin or the silver cer- tMeatOij issued thereon shall be used In the payment of public expenditures, and tlil- Secretory may, in hi-discretion, if the needs of the Treasury demand it.

    accept the work, would raise any objection. On the contrary, they both could, and doubtless would, aid a Congressional committee in showing up the stamp lobby, which was headed by an ex-mem- ber of the cabinet-

    Representative Somers, of Wis- consin, who is a personal friend of Judge Jenkins, whose injunc- tion against the right of employes of the U. P. R. R. to strike while the road was in the hands of court receivers, the House Judi- ciary committee has decided should bo investigated, has been hunting up precedents, and he finds that injunctions of a similar nature have been issued by Judge Ricks, in Ohio; Judge William H. Taft, in Pennsylvania; Judge Pardee, in Taxes; Judge James H. Beatty, in Idaho; Judge Elmer S- Dundy, in Ne- braska, and Justice Brewer, of the U- S- Supreme Court, while presiding over a court in Missouri. Mr. Somers says he has no objec- tion to an investigation, but that ho does object to singling out J udge Jenkins to be investigated when there are so many Judges who issued the same sort of in- junctions before he did- "Include them all, and I am ready to vote for the investigation," said Mr- Somers at the conclusion of a conversation on the subject-

    A popular bill is that introduc- ed in the House by Representa- tive Bryan, of Nebraska, provid- ing an amendment to present law, makiug the votes of three- fourths of a jury constitute a legal verdict iu all civil cases. With that amendment in force hung juries would be almost un- heard of in civil cases and the cost of litigations would bo large- ly reduced. The lawyers are about the only people who are likely to oppose the change ; it would cat into their fees quite heavily.

    Common sense again assumed its sway in the House this week and the Democrats disposed of the Bland bill and ceased to fur- nish the Republicans with cam- paign material by again getting down to business after a tie up of more than two weeks. Speaker Crisp made a decided hit just be- fore a quorum voted, when asked to enforce the rule compelling membors to remain in their seats and to vote when their names were called, by saying iu reply : 'The chair is the organ of the House, not its master, and as

    issue siiyer certificates in ekress of su.-h long as the present occupant is coinage, Provided that said excess shall not exceed the amount of the Seig- niorage as herein authorized to M coined.

    -Sec. 2. That the remainder of the silver bullion purchased in pursuance of said act of July 14th, 1S90, shall be coined into legal tender standard silver dollars as tat as is practicable, and the coin held in the Treasury for the re- demption of the Treasury notes issued in the purchase of said bullion. That as fast at the bullion shall be coined for the redemption of said notes, the notes shall not b>- reissued, but shall be can- celed and destroyed in amounts equal to the coin held" at any time in the treasury, derived from the coinage here- in provided for. and silver certificates may be issued en such coin in the man- ner now proivded by law."'

    WASHINGTON LETTER.

    There came very near being a personal encounter in the House

    of Representatives a few days ago

    between Mr. Meredith, of Virginia, and Mr. Frank, of Illinois. The

    Virginian rushes at him with doubled fist and had he not been prevented wculd have given him

    a pummelling. It came about from some remark made to Mr. Meredith while he]w*s speaking

    on pensions.

    President Clevelaud and Secre- tary Gresham have been spending

    a few days on our coast. He visited Roanoke Island aud took

    a bird's eye : iew of some of the points of historic interest in the

    vicinity. It may be that the trip may interest him a little more in North Carolina politics, ospecially if the sport should be good whioh

    will doubtless be the ease. Auy w*y we are sure that ht» has re-

    ceived a hearty welcome, and may eomo again.

Noth- ing dispels illusions like contact and personal examination- The north is fnll of active, energetic, industrious men inured to labor who do not know what advanta- ges you offer, or they would flood into and buy up your un- occupied lands and form a splen- did factor in the new sonth now forming. Would the northern settlers be hospitably leceived* At the north this would be a con- trolling question. General Man- ager Winder, of this railroad, as- sures me that in his Stab' the northern settler would be most welcome. Ex-Governor Jarvis, of North Carolina, in a recent con- versation, assured me that the southern welcome would be whole souled, full and free from the slightest danger of interference. I have equally high authority in Georgia of a similar state of pub- lic sentiment. Northern settlers would, strange as it may sound to you, need to be assured in these respects-

Austin Corbin, on6 of our greatest rail- road workers, transports free over his railways, every pound of ma- terial an actual setter puts on his land in improvements- I would advocate free transportation of the household goods of every ac- tual northern settlor by your great railway lines.

    It is not generally Known, but it is none the less true, that the re- markable series of caucuses held by the Democratic Senators this week on the tariff bill were the direct result of sngsestions from President Clevelaud before he went away. Several Democratic Senators told Mr. Cleveland that they were dissatisfied with the uillas the sub-committee intended to report it to the Finance com- mittee, and to each of them he suggested the idea of holding a caucus incrder that the bill might be changed sufficiently to receive the solid vote of tin- Democrats, Senator Voorhoes, although sat- paradise of isfitxl with the bill us arrange 1 by the sub-committee, was per- fectly willing that a caucus should pass upon it before it was report- ed to the full committee. That is why the bill was turned over to the caucus, instead of boing reported to the full committee.

    While there are some regretable circumstances connected with the holding of so many caucuses, it is far preferable, either from a party or general point of view, that concessions be made in a party caucus than that thoy be forcibly obtained with the aid of Republi- can votes on tho floor of the Son- ate. Whether the bill ns finally reported by tho Finance commit- tee, to which the cannics returned it, will be a belter or worse meas- ure than was the Wilson bill as passed by the House, may be a debatable questiou. but that the votes of at least 42 out of the 41 Democratic Senators will be necesary to pass auy tariff bill is a fact, that admits of no debate, since two of the populist Senators have said that they would not vote for it unless tho sugar sc-hod- ule is pleasing to them. At this writing every indication points to an agreement that will resalt

    The impressions of a prominent New Yorker about Atlanta, es- pecially when he is such a well- known and able man as Judge Clark Bell, are not only interest- ing but valuable. The judgo has just returned north from a trip south, and iu a lettor upon the subject, says:

    •'I am asked to give through your columns tho impressions of that beautiful portion of the south through which the Sea- board Air Lino passes, from Portsmouth to your beautiful city, and the views of a New Yorker, as to the claims of tho Piedmont section of your state, both as to climate, health, and desirability for permanent homes or tho in- vestment of capital to northern farmers or capitalist desiring to bettor their condition.

    "Too much praise cannot be awarded to Dr. W. C Wile, of Danbury. Conn, for promoting^ aud organizing the party of Northern Medical editors and their friends thus bringing to their attention the unusual ad- vantage of tho Piedmont section of the Southern Sea Board States to Northern Emigration.

I oculrt not read after sunset, and when I would close my eyes. I could not open them; but ou whichever side I lay. on that side I could open my eye. This condition conUnued about two years, ami was succeeded by

    "No inventor probably ever had a more discouraging task than the one who perfected the fountain pen," says a stationery dealer. "Itseems a very simple tiling, but when you consider that stationers threw out lot after lot rather than be bothered with them, you can see that it was not. Since the first fountain pen was put on the market the writing public has always wanted them. It is a great convenience to be able to write a letter without having to dip your pen in an inkstand half a dozen times, and it is also handy to have your pen in your pocket, ready loaded, all the time, particularly if you are. in a business where you have to carry a small inkstand in your pocket. I put in the fountain pen and self feeding pens time after

    | time, but threw them away every time. They disgusted our customers, and they gave us no end of trouble. One timo I would swear I would never put another pen of this kind in stock again, but the call for them was so frequcut that the next pen that came out I would again try them. In the last year or two I be- lieve the problem has been solved, and, like other dealers, I am trying to prove this to be the case."

    Found a Long-Lost Sitter.

    A twenty-two-year-o! man of Bangor, Me., learned for the first time a few days ago that he has a twin sister, alive and well, in Prov- idence, R. I., where she is married and has a family. Their mother died when the twins were five months old. Two Bangor families adopted them, and the one taking the girl moved a*t of the state shortly thereafter. The boy's fa- ther and five brothers and sisters kept track of the boy but never told him of his twin sister, and it waa only by accident he learned of her

    J existence.

    A KISSLESS LAND.

    Lovors as Portrayed by Japanese Novelists and Poets.

    Affectionate Epithets and Caresses Sneh as Westerners Use Absolutely Unknown la

    the East—Sentimentality Only Be- trayed by an Exquisite Courtesy.

    Mr. Lafcadio Hearn, in his paper, "Of the Eternal Feminine," in the Atlantic, thus refers to one of the many differences between thepoetry and fiction of Japan and those of western nations:

    I must touch upon one feature of western literature never to be recon- ciled with Japanese ideas and cus- toms. Let the reader reflect for a moment how large a place the sub- ject ot kisses and caresses and em- braces occupies in our poetry and in our prose fiction; and then let him consider tho fact that in Japanese literature these have no existence whatever. For kisses and embraces are simply unknown in Japan as tokens of' affection, if we except the solitary fact that Japanese mothers, like mothers all over the world, lip and hug their little ones betimes. After babyhood there is no more hugging or kissing. Such actions ex- cept in the case of infants arc held to be highly immodest. Never do girls kiss one another; never do parents kiss or embrace their children who have become able to walk. And this rule holds good of all classes of society, from the highest nobility to the humblest peasantry. Neither have we the least indication through- out Japanese literature of any time in the history of the race when af- fection was more demonstrative than it is to-day. Perhaps the western reader will find it hard even to im- agine a literature in the whole course of which is no mention of kiss- ing, of embracing, even of pressing a loved hand; for hand-clasping is an action as totally foreign to Japanese Impulse as kissing. Yet on these topics even the native songs of the country folk, even the old ballads of the people ibout unhappy lovers, are quite as silent as tbe exquisite verses of the court poets. Suppose we take for an example tho ancient popular ballad of Shuntokumara, which has given origin to various proverbs and household words throughout western Japan. Here we have the story of two betrothed lovers long separated by a cruel misfortune wandering in search of each other all over the empire and at last suddenly meeting before Kiomidzu temple by the favor of the gods. Would not any Aryan poet describe such a meeting as a rushing of the two into each other's arms, with kisses and cries of love? But how does the old Japanese bal- lad describe it? In brief, tho twain only sit down together and stroke each other a little. Now, even this reserved form of caress is an ex- tremely rare indulgeucc of emotion. You may see again and agaiu fathers and sons, husbands and wives, moth- ers and daughters, meeting after years of absence, yet you will prob- ably never see the approach to a caress between them.

    They will kneel down and salute each other and smile, and perhaps cry a little for joy, but they will neither rush into each other's arms nor utter extraordinary phrases ol affection. Indeed, such terms of af- fection as "my dear," "my darling," "my sweet," "my love," my life," do not exist in Japanese, nor any terms at all equivalent to our emo- tional idioms. Japanese affection is not uttered in words; it scarcely ap- pears even in the tone of voice; it is chiefly shown in acts of exquisite courtesy and kindness. I might add that the opposite emotion is under equally perfect control, but to illus- trate this remarkable fact would re- quire a separate essay.

    Old London Bridge.

    New London bridge was opened in 1831. Old London bridge was a mon- strosity. It dated back to the year 1176 A. D., and at least three wooden bridges arn known to have occupied the same site prior to that date.

    The old bridge was slightly over nine hundred feet in length, accord- ing to the St. Louis Republic, and had eighteen solid stone piers, vary- ing in thickness from twenty-five to thirty-four feet, thus confining the flow of the river to less than half its natural channel. The entire sur- face of the bridge was occupied by blocks of brick and stone buildings (erected on arches, with the road- way running tunnel-like beneath), some of them four stories high. All of these bridge buildings were dense- ly packed with human beings (at one time estimated at one thousand seven hundred), carrying on all the trades and other vocations of life. Spanning the two center piers was a huge church building, dedicated to St. Thomas, of Canterbury, but usually styled "St. Peters of the Bridge."

    In very early time the arch open- ing from the bridge toward the city was called "Traitor's gate," and it was no unusual thing to see the heads of a dozen executed criminals hanging over it.

    New Story of Mark Twain.

    A traveler now in town on a visit, says the New York Sun, heard a new story about Mark Twain from an old Mississippi river pilot with whom Mr. Clemens once worked for awhile in a pilot house on that river. It seems that ho came up into the pilot house carrying an enormous and expensive black Havana cigar which excited the envy of the mas- ter pilot. "Where did you get that cigar, Sam?" the pilot asked. "A gentleman in the cabin gave it to me,"-said the budding humorist. "Weli, do you think you ought to keep that cigar and I ought to go without it?" the pilot asked.

    "Now, look here," said Mark Twain. "I know I am only your helper and I'm willing to play dog to you. You can throw sticks in the water and let me jump in after 'em. I'll do whatever you say, but" —and here he drawled in his peculiar way—"I do think I ought to have

    ltome perquisites."
