Uses of Turpentine.

After housekeeper fully realizes
the worth of turpentine in the house
hold she is never willing to be with
out supply of it. 1t gives quick
relief to burns; it is an excellent
application for corns; tits good for
rheumatism and sore throats. Then
it is sure preventative against
moths; by just dropping trifie in
the drawers, chests and cupboards,
it will render the garments secure
from injury during the summer. 1t
will keep ants and bugs from the
closets and storerooms by putting
few drops in the corners and upon
the shelves it is sure destruction
to bedbugs, and will effectually
drive them away from their haunts
if thoroughly applied to all the
joints Of the bedstead, and Injuries
neither furniture nor clothing. A
spoonful of it added to a pail OF
water is excellent for cleaning paint.

Young Forepaugh's Monkeys.

Three or four years ago young
Adam Forepaugh was over in Lon
don. He had spent about $4,000,
and didn't care to ask for any more
money. So he wired over to the
governor that he had a great chance
to get some new attractions for the
show. He said that he could get
two monkeys that were larger than
horses for $4,000. The governor
congratulated himself on having
such smart boy, and cabled him
the money. He was telling every
one about his new attractions, and
if any one doubted the reality of
the alleged big moneys he would
answer angrily, "Pshaw! What do
you know about the interior of At
rica? Of course they have monks
there as big as horses" Next day
came cablegram saying: "Money
received; monks dead; very much
obliged, pap" The governor could
never stand joke about monkeys
after that.-Chicago Herald.

ian group for laborers in 1851, lep-
rosy had been known there for some
time as the chiefs disease, because
many Of the great men were afflicted
with it. Good authorities are OF
the opinion that it was actually in
troduced by Captain Cooks crew,
when that distinguished explorer
visited the island in 1893. The
primitive conditions under which
the natives lived were singularly
favorable to the propagation of dis
ease. Living and sleeping together
in one room for family, eating
their food with their fingers out of
common dishes, and passing around
the same pipe from hand to hand,
contagion had the best possible
chance to operate. In 1898 Cap
tain Cook found 100000 people on
the islands; when the missionaries
went there in 1920 there were 12O,-
600. Now there are only $4,000
natives left, including half-castes.
The remainder of the $4,000 popu-
lation is composed of Chinese, Jap
anese, Portuguese, Americans and
Europeans. Washington Star.

Too Big for Webster.

Even Daniel Webster, who saw
almost everything, could not see
any future for the great West OF
this country. On one occasion there
was before the United States Senate
q proposition to establish a mail
route from Independence, Mo-, to
the mouth of the Columbia river,
some 5000 miles across plains and
Mountains country about which
the average Senator of that day
knew no more than he did Of the
interior of Africa. Webster made a
speech against the mail route and
closed with words something like
these: "What do we want with this
vast worthless area, this region Of
savages and wild beasts, Of deserts
of shifting sands and whirlwinds Of
dust, Of cactus and prairie dogs?"

CannlbaliSm.

Cannibalism exists among all the
people on the Upper Congo east of
Is deg. E., and is prevalent to an
even greater extent among the peo-
pie inhabiting the banks of the nu-
merous aftluents. During a two
months voyage on the Ubangi river
l was constantly brought into con-
tact with cannibalism. The natives
there pride themselves upon the
number of skulls they possess, de-
noting the number of victims they
have been able to obtain. | saw
one native hut, around which was
built a raised platform of clay a
foot wide, on which were placed
rows of human skulls, forming a
CHASTITY figure, but one of which the
chief was very proud, as he signi-
fed by the admiring way in which
he drew my attention to the sight.
Bunches of twenty and thirty skulls
were hung about in prominent po-
sitions in the village. I asked one
young chief, who was certainly not
more than twenty-five years old,
how many men he had eaten in his
village, and he answered me thirty.

The Age OF Aluminium at Hand.

Have we really entered upon the
age of aluminium? 1t is the most
abundant Of all the metals on the
earth's crust, and ever since it's dis
covery every leading metallurgist
and chemist has been working to
find cheap process for reducing
it. In a large measure they have
succeeded. Only Il few years ago this
metal cost more than gold. To-day,
thanks to the enterprise of Ameri-
cans, it has been reduced to the
price, block for block, of nickel.
At 50 per pound aluminium is a
cheaper metal to use than nickel.
1t is nearly four times lighter than
nickel, and will 60, therefore, nearly
four times as far. Aluminium has
only been on the market in a COM
mercial way for about year. In
that time the applications to which
this metal can be economically put
have been found to be numerous.
Its introduction will mark a great
step in the advance of human pro-
gress. Aluminium at 25 cents per
pounds, and it will surely reach
that price, will take the place of
iron and steel in many important
lines of manufacture. its adapta-
bility to ship-building becomes at
once apparent. The use of alumni
ium for this purpose would change
the mighty black racers of the At
lantic into bright silver vessels
which would inspire the marine
poets to flights of hitherto unheard-
of fancy in describing how "lightly
the silver ships rode the blue bill
lows" Seriously, there is posi-
bility that ocean racers in the course
of time will be constructed of alu-

A Tariff Poem.

He sat in his door at monday,
lonely, gloomy and sad; brooding
over the price of his corn crop, and
figuring how much he had. He had
worked from early springtime, early
and late and hard, and he was
counting his assets and figuring out
his reward. He figured that it took
two acres to buy his two boys new
boots, and ten acres more on top of
this to fit them out with new suits.
To buy his wife a protected dress
took 100 bushel more, while five
acres went in single lump for the
carpet on the floor. His taxes and
his grocery bill absorbed his crop
of oats, while the interest on his
farm mortgage took all his fattened
shoats. The shingles on his COW
shed and the lumber for his barn
had eaten up his beef-steers and the
balance of his corn. So he sat in
his door at noon-day, and gloomy
and sore, as he figured up his wealth
a little less than it was the year
before. 'By gum, they say l am
protected, but l know there's some
thing wrong. I've been deceived
and gulled and hoodwinked by this
protection song. They told of re-
bellious traitors, and held up the
bloody rag, and I followed along
like a pumpkin, and now l am hold
ing the bag. But from this time on
I'll investigate, and get to the bot
tom of facts, and I'll bet 81 to be-
gin with that the tariff is tax.-Ex.

SleepleSsness.

A writer in an exchange says he
has discovered a remedy for sleep
lessness, which he has never known
to fail, which conyinces him that
the whole trouble arises from over
strain of the eyes. Take small
cloth-say piece of mapped towel
and fold it in two small pieces Of
ice at proper distance apart to
exactly cover the eyes when the
cloth is laid across them. Then lie
down, adjust the cloth with the ice
over the closed eyes, and you will
be asleep in very short while,

BuyINe WORTHLESS PAPER.
Some Men Delight in It--One Sin.
gular Case.

The purchase at auction sales by
business men of worthless securi-
ties, overdue notes and claims that
have been outlawed is fortunately
an everyday occurrence in this city.
Such transactions are frowned upon
by reputable merchants, who real
ize that the purchaser intends, some
day or other, in case of failure, to
include these bargains among his
assets to make a good showing to
his creditors. Another phase of
this peculiar traffic yet remains to
be told. 1t appears that within the
past six months there has been an
inordinate demand for repudiated
bonds of Southern States.
William Mailer, a dealer in mis-
cellaneous securities, informs me
that he has a regular customer who
has been absorbing South Carolina
tax bonds at the rate of 81 for a
bundle of $4,000. "He must have
over 100000 by this time," said
Mr.. Mailer the other day, "and be-
ing curious to know what my client
wanted with such a large quantity
of waste paper, l was astonished
when he confessed that he was about
to make his will and desired to be-
queth a round million Of bonds to
two or three charitable institutions
in Charleston. He has stipulated
that the directors should pass res
olutions of thanks in the minutes
of the society"
"And your clients name?"
"Never mind that just now, for
the poor old gentleman is in his
dotage, with one foot in the grave
and his identity will soon be dis
closed, for he is simply buoyed up
by the notoriety he expects to gain
after his death by the liberal dona-
tions he has made to seminaries,
hospitals and infrmaries. The day
Of reckoning will come when the
packages are opened and the worth
lessness of their contents is revealed.

A Man of Few Words.

Old Simmons advertised for
secretary, and when a young mar
presented himself the old fellow
looked at him sharply and in /.
gruf voice asked:
Well, sir, what can you do?
| Don't know exactly-haven'

yet, but 1 think l can manage tc

Yes, you think so. Now, sir,
want a man to do my writing, anl
l want him to be a man of judg
ment. Do you understand?
Yes.
l don't want any namby pamby

catch my ideas at once, and in ex'
pressing them to my correspond.
ents to use as few words as possible
l think I'm your man, sir.
l don't want any scallops, under

a spade to be called a spade.
All right, sir, and if 1 don't suit
you I don't think there's anybody
that can.
What's your name?
Spires.
Very good, Mr.. Spires, you may
go to work.
When the old man took up the
first letter that Spires had written
he looked at it a moment and then
uttered wild exclamation. Why,
what do you mean here? After
signing my name you have put the
word Sweats. What did yo do that
for?
Why, to carry out your idea OF
calling spade spade, for, instead
of saying per Spires, have simply
added Sweats, which, you know,
means the same thing, expressed in
simpler way.
Mr.. Spires, said the old man, and
his voice trembled, l shall take you
