Memphis Jones, a farmer of pi,

- Memphis Jones, farmer of Pick
ems County, and his stepson, John Will
liams, eleven years old, narrowly escaped
an awful death, on the 18th inst, being
overtaken by the east bound Airline
freight train about midway the trestle
across Reedy River, at Greenville, and
precipitated to the ground, a fall of
thirty-two feet. The trestle is over GOO
feet long, and so built as to mako escape
almost impossible. Master Williams sus-
pended himself by the hands to the ends
of the cross-ties rs the train approached,
but relinquished his hold when the en-
gine reached him and fell to the ground.
Jones held on to the edge of the trestle
until the engine passed, but a wide
freight box grazed his hips, sending him
tumbling to the earth. Williams suffer
ed no injury beyond the shock and slight
conclusion, and was sent to his home
to-day. Jones is painfully bruised about
the back and hips, but no bones are
broken or dislocated, and ali bis injuries
are pronounced by DR.. Dorroh not me-
cessarily dangerous.

Emblems OF 1dourrns.

81 trust that black will not always remain
the emblem of mourning in this country. :"
said dealer in mourning goods who is a
scholar as well as a merchant. ''It is not
suitable. emblem but 1t implies an ab-
sence of light and want of life, which we
certainly do not wish TO convey as our con-
ception of the state OF our departed friensls.
Mourning is supposed to be the outward
visible sign of inward grief. The notion
of change, however, would not readily be
received, for when one has to put on the
habillments of woe, grief is too strong to
be overcome by fashion,"
'sWhat other colors are use IN mourn
ing9"
I'm Italy women grive in white gar
ments and men in bIown. In China white
is worn BY both sexes. In Turkey, Syria,
CappadOcia, and Armenia celestial blue ls
the tint chosen; In Egypt yellowish brown,
the hue Of the dead leaf, is deemed proper
in Ethiopia, where men are black, gray Is
the emblem of mourning. All of these col
ors are symbols. White symbolizes purity,
IN attribute of our dead; the celestial blue,
that place of rest where happy souls are al
peace; the yellow or dead leaf tells that
death is the end of all human hope, and
that man falls as the autumn leaf, and gray
whispers Of the earth TO which all returr.
The Lycians consider mourning for the
dead an eliminate practice, and so when
they grleve they put on women's clothes as
a symbol of weakness and as a shame to
them for lack of manliness. The Thra-
clans made a least when one OF their loved
ones died, and every method of joy and
delight was employed This meant that
the dead had passed from a state of misery
into one of never-ending feilcity. Black
was introduced as mourning by the queen
OF Char.es VIII. Before that the French
queens wore whit. mourning and were
known as white queens.

A Rem'niscence of Webster.

An old lady says when only eight years
old she met one morning handsome
man, whose deep eyes and massive head
she had seen represented In pictures
hung upon her Wing fathers walls. So
impressed was she by this face and the
wonderful eyes that she stared with all
her might at the great statesman, and
he, meeting this intense regard from the
childish eyes returned the gaze with
some curiosity Presently the little
maiden comes to stand still. 81 verify
believe was magnetized, she says now
laughingly-''magnetized not only by
those great eyes. but by my own imag-
ination, which had been fired by the
hero-worship had chanted concerning
the man all my little life." Coming to
stand still, she brings the hero to pause,
while smile lights up his face. What
does the little maid desire of him? She
only wants to shake hands with Daniel
Webster, whose face she knows from her
fathers pictures, and whose name and
fame she knows and loves from her IA
theirs lips Into what childish phrase
she put this she does not know, but she
recalls the soft look in the deep eyes,
the gentle touch upon her head and
cheek, and the pleasant voice and pleas
ant words. "It's forty odd years ago."
she said ''but 1 can stand there in the
sunshine now and live it all over, and /
,hall love Daniel Webster to the end of
ny days.

tonishing brilliancy and then disap-
peared may be accounted for in this
way. To show you that there is no ex-
sggera'ion in what 1 am saying about
the multitude of dead suns in the uni
verse, see what Sir John Lubbock said
in his inaugural address at the meeting
of the British Association in August
last: The floor of heaven is not only
thick inlaid with patines of bright
gold,' but studded also with extinct
stars. once probably as brilliant as our
own sun, but now dead and cold as
Helmholz tells us that our sun itself will
be some 1900, 900 years hence"
But We need not wander off in space
in search of the sky's untombed dead.
We have right at hand, circling about
our own earth, not an extinct sun, but
dead world, The moon is dead and has
been dead these million years. There
the astronomer, if he fancies himself the
worlds surgeon, may study the effects
of a malady that no surgery could cure
Even worlds and suns. like men and
grow old and die; but unlike
men and women, they have no grave
but the open and boundless heavens"

Quill Pens.

Quill pens are used mainly by old law
yers and judges, partly from custom, but
chiefly because they are easy to write
with. Most of the quills come from
Russia. The Russian goose has hard
er quill than our geese. An unclarified
pen from the wing of Russian goose is
the most durable. The German quills
have the best plumage. A two-dozen
box of good quills will last two or three
months easily for man who knows how
to mend his own pens.
The instrument used in pen making is
the ordinary blade of the penknife, in
serted firmly into wooden handle of
peculiar shape, tapering to a point. A
pen is made with two cuts or three. The
blunt end of the quill is first cut off, be-
cause it is not tough. Then the point
of the handle is inserted, and the quill
is carefully split for a Gel tain distance.
Two slashing cuts then form the nib,
and the pen is done. The plumage is
neatly trimmed.
Swan quilts are sometimes used for
pens, but are very much more expensive
than the common goose quill. Quill pens
are sold at retail for about three shillings
dozen. The demand Is steady, such
as it is, but is growing less year by year.

Harvesting the Aurora fsoreaIis.

Curious auroral phenamenon inter
rupted the working of the telegraph
wires. Superintendent Dolon, Of the
Western Union office in New York, ex-
planned that the auroral electricity was
similar to ordinary lightning. The same
forces that produced the brilliant flashes
in rain storm, when the imprisoned
electricity leaps forth in its effort to es-
cape to the earth, were at work in the
present aurora, only they were under a
different condition, The superintendent
says that but for great pressure of busi-
ness at this time, which left no room for
any experiment, the present disturbing
element might be pressed into service as
an economical agent and made an aid in-
stead of detriment to telegraphIc work
The wires might be disconnected from
the batteries and run down into the
ground, whereupon the auroral electric
ity would be found to voluntarily estab-
lish complete working current that
would enable messages to be sent along
the wires without the use of batteries at
all. Mr.. Dolon cited striking and me-
instance of this in the business
done during a rain storm that occurred
several years ago, and was accompanied
by electrical phenomena. Wires were
from the batteries in the
Western Union building, run into the
ground, and then for two hours and a
half, while the storm was raging its fer
cest, commercial reports of great impor-
tance were transmitted along the wires
solely by the electrical current genera
ted by the warning elements.
