Methods of Sea Doctors.

1t is related that a lieutenant in COM
mand of one of her majesty's gunboats
deemed the responsibility Of the charge
Of a medicine chest too much for him.
Immediately she was off soundings the
gallant officer mustered all hands and
divided the contents of the chest equally,
so that each had "his whack and IA
mair." There are two other naval yarns
in this connection we'll worth mention
ing.

The First Post Diluvjau Family.

An English divine has prepared a
startling table of the figures, perusal of
which will make one thankful that he is
living in the latter part of the Nine
teenth century instead of in the days
Immediately following the landing of
the ark. He shows that if one of Noah's
boys had lived to be 500 years old, hay
ing his first child at thirty and his last
at four hundred and seventy, and allow
ing for but one addition to his family
every three years, and supposing them
all to live to the ripe old age Of $50, he
could gather around him at least 147
sons and daughters.
With a reasonable degree Of prolific
bearing his grandchildren would num-
Der between 10000 and 10000; the great
and the great-great grandchildren taken
with the others enumerated above would
swell the figures to something like so, 600;
this, too, if monogamy alone were prac-
tised. II polygamy were the rule, as it
probably w. at that time, the figures
would be still more startling.-St. Louis

THE UNKISSED KISS.

Ihave kissed the girls a-plenty.
Aged from one year old 10 twenty,
Kisses better far than honey, | can taste theiI
sweetness yet;
But far dearer than the kisses
Given ne by kindly misses
Is the ever verdant mem'ry Of a kiss l did not
get.
For one winsome little fairy,
With q grace so light and airy.
Kept me ever fondiy saying, iii achieve my
purpose yet"
But 1T length she shyly vanished
With the gift for which l famished,
And she left me sadly signing for the kiss I d.
not get.
Reader, pardon this depression,
Docs pursuit or does possession
The greater pleasure bring? l really cannot
say, and yet
I've forgotten many misses
Who bestowed on me their kisses,
But I'll always r~ocollect the girl whose kiss ]
did not get.
Now, of course, there is a moral
In this simple story for all
Those indiscreet young ladies, who Will some
times much regret
That they gave their kisses freely.
For they'll find a lover really
May remember more than all the rest the
kiss he did not get.

An Honest HOnifaCe,

A college graduate is now telling en-
Enthusiastically a story about the honesty
Of a tavern keeper in the old college
town. The graduate had not visited the
place since his college life ended until
the other day, when a convention Of his
secret society was held there. He went
around to the old tavern where he had
had many late suppers, to see if the pro
pTietor was still alive and to take a look
at the room where he had toasted every
one and everything connected with his
college and his class.
'Halloa, Mr.. x" said the old inn
keeper, I'm glad to see you, for l owe
YOU six dollars" Cove me six dollars!'
SAID the graduate in astonishmant. u
shouldn't have been surprised If l had
owed you, but don't see how you can
owe me. Certainly such a condition OF
affairs never existed when | was in col
lege." The old man took out his ledger.
There you are" he said triumphantly'
Just before you went away you settled
your account, and you overpaid me SIX
dollars. There it is to your credit.
There was only one thing for a college
man to do in his old meeting place, and
this was promptly done-a debt washed
| out Just as others had been washed in, Il
| one may say lt.-New York Tribune.

them, more or less?

Story of a New York Bank.

Mrs. Jonessdeath suggests the story OF
the founding of the Chemical bank.
This institution is in some respects the
NEST famous of American banking
houses. A good many years ago certain
shrewd and wealthy Welshmen under
took to start a factory for the manufac-
ture Of chemicals, and as a branch Of
this undertaking they proposed to have
a little bank, more for convenience than
for money making. The chemical fac
tory was started, and the little bank got
+ agoing at the same time, and one man
was able to act as president, cashier and
teller. BY and by it began to dawn
upon the stockholders that the little bank
was the most profitable branch Of their
undertaking.
A hard headed Welshman named
Jones, who had married the daughter Of
Mr.. Mason, the founder of the chemical
factory and bank, began to teach the old
New Workers. what banking was. The
capital was small, and the profits were
constantly charged to the surplus ac-
count, until by and by the stockholders
found that they had a bigger surplus
than they had capital. The business in
creased, and so did the surplus, and the
directors kept on adding the profits to
the surplus. satisfied to see that pile
grow rather than to axe tina dividnnds
in cash.
Out of this kind of banking has grown
the modern Chemical bank, on a capital
of $500, 900. 1t has made a surplus of
many millions of dollars, it pays fire.
quently semi-monthly dividends of 4 or 5
per cent, it's stock is quoted away up in

and the subsequent closing out of his

How the Tea Plant Started

AS you drink a cup Of tea do You ever
think how tea came to grow? Tell your
next visitor the story. A Persian prince,
on his way to meet his betrothed, vowed
that he would not sleep until he saw
her. After travelling seven days, he
stopped to rest under a shade tree, and
there, being no longer able to resist the
temptation, he fell into a sound sleep.
When he awakened he was so sorry
that he cut off his eyelids and threw
them on the ground. From them grew
the tea plant. 1t is rather unfortunate
that the story stops here, because it
would be interesting to know what the
lady thought Of a sweetheart without
eyelids, and whether it would bspossi-
bic for them to grow again.-New York

He rushed to the stage manager and

Sat Upon by all Ostrich.

A gentleman had a theory that any
creature, however savage, could be sub
dued-"quelled," as he said, by-the HUI
man eye. One day he tried to quell one
of his own ostriches, with the result that
he was presently found in a very pitia-
BILE predicament, lying fiat on the
ground, while the subject Of his ex'
pertinent jumped up and down on him,
occasionally varying the treatment by
sitting upon him. Doubtless it was
safer to lie down than to stand up to bt
kicked, but to be sat upon as If one
were an egg must have been indeed hu

 There was very sad shooting af- fray on Henry Waldrep's place, about three miles from here, Wednesday evening. There were four shots fired --all taking effect, killing two darkeys and wounding Henry Waldrep very seriously, shooting him in the face and head with large squirrel shot. We learn from a witness of the shooting that Henry Waldrep spoke to one of his hands something about some work, and the darkey used abusive language, went to his house and got his gun, and went up to Henry Waldrep's house and swore that he intended to kill him. Henry Waldrep then went over to his brother Scott's house and told him about the trouble, and got Scott to go back with him and settle the difficulty. When he and Henry got back to the house where the darkeys were, the one with whom Henry had the trouble showed fight, and he and Henry en- gagged in tussle, while another dar- key on the place came running up with a gun, cooking both barrels. Scott or dered him to stop, which he failed to do. ll,sn Scott fired and killed him. Some one then shot Henry from the house, whereupon the one with whom Henry was struggling made a break to get pistol which dropped from his adversary's pocket, but the white man was too quick for him, and sent bull let into him which closed his career forever. The doctors cannot yet tell whether or not IIenry's wound is fatal.

IT is lamentably true that there are sections of our country that never raise corn enough to supply their own needs, and have to purchase feed for stock to raise cotton crop, winch in many cases barely pays the cost of produc- tion. So long as this is the case those who follow up the practice will wind ur at the end us poor as when they be- gan. There is no reason why farmers should not raise their own food and feed for their stock. In Tennessee. Alabama, Georgia and parts of Mis- sissippi the farmers are realizing this fact, and larger acreage of corn is being planted, and in parts of Ala bama cotton is being plowed up to be replAnted in corn.
