South Perry.

Rev, David Smith of Washing
ton. G. H., visited old friends here,
last week and this. He preached
here Saturday night at the M. E.
church, and at Union Sunday
afternoon. Everybody is always
glad to see and extend the hand of
welcome to kind, genial "Uncle
Davey."
The quarterly meeting of this
circuit, was held here last Satur-
day and Sunday. The presiding
elder, A. G. Kelley, was present
and addressed large audiences on
both days. He is an excellent
speaker.
Mrs. Mary Floyd and little son
Willie, of Hilliard, are visiting her

length of time.
The writer of the article on the
South Perry school, which appear
ed in last weeks issue of the DEM
OCRAT, is evidently in satirica
mood. 1t is not hard to believe
that he is disappointed applicant
for the higher department of the
school.
He fails to state that S25 are the
wages offered for a teacher of tn,
primary department, which is ye
open to applications. We under
stand that Mr.. Pascal Bright o
Logan, has been secured to teach
the upper department, at wha
wages we do not know. The di
rectors of the school are intelligen
men, and therefore capable of man
aging the school business withou
the aid of superintendent. TIL

Not Taking Small Tips.

a gentleman who is not ayerse to
tipping a waiter when he happens to
have the requisite small change had a
curious experience in a we'll p%atronized
restaurant in Sixth aYenue a few nights
ago. He took his wife into the restau-
rant after the theatre and enjoyed re-
freshments, the cost of which footed up
$f.95. He had not a penny of change,
and he handed his waiter a two dollar
bill with which to pay his check. With
out waiting for the five cents change he
started to leave the place. His wife and
himself had got as far as the door when
the waiter overlook them and rendered
the gentleman a nickel. "Oh! keep
that" said the man indifferently. mo,
thank you, sir" said the waiter very
politely, Il beg your pardon, but can
not accept it"
why notF' said the gentleman some
what impatiently.
because, sir, ! am not allowed to
take a tip Of less than ten cents. The
walters here have a pool, and one of the
rules is that no member of the pool shall
take less than a dime by way of a tip"
The gentleman, somewhat embarrassed,
explained that the nickel was the only
bit of change that he had, whereupon
the waiter blandly remarked, ooh, that
is all right, sir; you al hand it to me
the next time you come in."-New York

Style in tho Bedroom.

The latest fad of wealthy and fastidi-
~ ladies is a craze, not for crazy quilts,
but silk sheets daintily embroidered.
Sachets filled with some delicate per-
fume are fastened in the corners, and a
flower corresponding to the one with
which the sachets are filled is embroid-
cred over the sheet. Old fashioned
"puffs" or eiderdown quilts are filled
inside with delicate perfumes, and one
reclines not on but under a bed of roses.
A new bedspread in marked contrast is
made of coarse linen sheeting, embroid-
cred all over in gold colored silk in bold,
conventional designs, wrought in the
longstem stitch known to our grand
mothers.-New York Ledger.

Silver in Volcanic Ashes.

The existence of silver in volcanic
ashes is a rare occurrence Only in two
cases have argentiferous ashes been met
with. The sample was obtained during
an eruption of Cotopaxi in July, 1885, in
the ashes of which Mr.. J. w. Malet
proved the existence of one part of sill
yer in 5000 parts of ashes. In the fol-
lowing year the same investigator was
able to add a second instance. In Janu-
airy, 1886, a violent eruption Of Tun-
guragua, in the Andes of Ecuador, be-
tween fifty and fifty-fve miles from
Cotopaxi, took place, the eruption con-
tinuing at longer or shorter intervals up
to November Of the same year. The
ashes thrown by this volcano, which
had been at rest for oven a century,
contained silver to the extent of one
part in 108,200 parts of ashes. This APP
pears, at first sight, to be only a very
small percentage Of the metal; but when
it is considered what enormous quaint
ties of ashes are erupted, and what a
vast extent Of area they cover after an
eruption, the quantity Of silver thrown
up with them must be considerable

The Blind Woman and Her Gander.

A blind woman, giving her name as
Mrs, Elizabeth Cant, and led by a large
white gander, has been attracting much
attention recently on our streets. She is
a beggar and quite old, and claims to
have no friends except the fowl which
attends her as closely as a dog. leading
her along by the dress, which it holds in
its bill. The woman Gays she comes
from near Birmingham, where she made
her home with her son, but on his death,
last August, was left penniless and home
less. The gander shows no particular
intelligence, except in his care of the
woman. who taught him to do 80 in lieu
of any other guide, but occupies himself
after the manner Of his kind while she
sits and begs at tho + till she is
ready to go on, when she recalls him
with Il whistle, and he comes at once,
taking hold of her skirt and marshaling
her solemnly along.
He will exchange greetings with focks
of other geese, but never leaves her to
join such, while he has been seen to fly
at and rout a dog threatening his nlis-
tress. 1t is necessary, however, for her
occasionally to hasten his somewhat lazy
steps, for he is of an investigating turn
of mind, and stops frequently to exam
inc such objects as rouse his curiosity.
This fault, the woman says, is owing to
his youth, for he is only about a year
old.
She also says that his education was
by no means so difficult as a dogs for
the same business would have been, and
that whenever she is unable to go about
through sickness he evinces the greatest
concern, and will urge to get up by tug
ging at her dress, but on her refusing
still, seems to understand, and will take
up his position close beside her, and re-
main there all day with his head under
his wing and most dejectedly peeping
out at her at intervals. The gander is
an unusually large one, and absurdly
pompous, as if he knew his Importance,
refusing all overtures of friendship, and
resenting all attempts to handle him,
while he allows his mistress TO caress
him in any way.-Ada (Ala.> Cor. st.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

John A. Suffer was born in Baden in
1903 of Swiss parents, and was proud of
his connection with the only republic of
consequence in Europe. He was warm
admirer of the United States, and some
of his friends had persuaded him to come
across the Atlantic. He first went to a
friend IN Indiana with whom he staid
awhile, helping to clear land, but it was
business that he was not accustomed to.
So he made his way to st. Louis and in
vested what means he had in merchan-
disc, and went out as q New Mexican
trader to Santa Fe. Having been unsuc-
cessful at Santa Fe he returned to st.
Louis, joined a party of trappers, went
to the Rocky mountains, and found his
way down the Columbia river to Fort
Vancouver. There he formed plans for
trying to get down to the coast of Cali
fornia to establish n colony.
He took a vessel that went to the
Sandwich islands, and there communi-
Gated his plans to people who assisted
him. But as there was no vessel going
direct from the Sandwich Islands to Cal
i~fornia, he had to take q Russian vessel
by way of Sitka. He got such credit
and help as he could in the Sandwich
islands and induced five or six natives to
accompany him to start the contem-
plated colony. He expected to send to
Europe and the United States for his
colonists. When he came to the coast of
California, in 1910, he had an interview
with the governor, Alvarado, and OBJ
tanned permission to explore the coun-
try and find a place for his colony. He
came to the bay of San Francisco, pro-
cured q small boat and explored the
largest river he could find, and selected
the site where the city of Sacramento
now stands.-(fen. Bidwell in Century.

have left home, wife, children, business,
to run after a miserable county office
which isn't worth $500 a year. And for
such an Office they are willing to pay
