to promote the spirit Of agriculture in
that section in its day.
But the glory of the old town has been
long since departed, in the first place
shorn of her Samson locks, robbed of her
territory and capitolcy, the great
district cut up into Anderson, Pickens
and Oconee; and the railroads of which
she little dreamed of then, have ignored
her claims, stolen away her thrift, and
now the good old town of Auld-Lang-

there still fingers fragrance Of intelli.

There are tricks in the trade of collect
ing taxes. Here's how one successful col
lector does it, or part of it.
He had particular difficulty in getting
the poll tax out Of one man in his town,
The wife was the fnancier Of the house
hold, and whenever the tax man called
she concealed her spouse in the background
and vigorously talked the persistent money
scraper off the premises.
This worked twice, but on the third visit
the collector sprung his surprising dodge.
He grabbed the woman's little child,
pulled out his book and said with determi-
nation:
VERY we'll, madam; We won't trouble
about your husband. I'll place the tax on
this young one, and win arrest him If he
don't pay it at once"
The woman wasn't highly posted in tax
questions. She evidently placed the child
step higher than the husband, and the
requisite two dollars were produced from
behind the kitchen clock.-Lewiston Jour

Do think that the use Of glasses is on
the increase? do. There are people wear
ing glasses today who have no business to
wear them, and there are people who ought
to wear glasses who will not. There are
many who are astigmatic who do not know
it. Astigmation is an ocular defect that is
very prevalent. When you see a man cast
his head to one side while he reads a sign
OF close one eye to see an object more clear
ly, that person is astigmatic, although he
may know nothing about it.
AstigmatiOn is not troublesome as a rule,
but in many cases it is annoying, and The
defects in the curvatures Of the pupils
should be corrected with lenses ground
specially to fit each individual case. Some
persons think if they do not need glasses
they cannot wear them without suffering
That is not the case. The wearing Of
glasses is just like wearing a ring or a
watch. You soon e used TO the sensa-
tion.-Chicago Tribu Z.

These are days of great and surprising
financial boosts.
Twelve years ago young man lived in a
Maine town. His parents were poor, 30
poor that they required help from the
town. The young man himself was Grip
pied By rheumatism, was discouraged, and
instead of hustling for the wherewithal
spent bis time in idleness and fishing. For
several years be, too, was supported by
contributions from relatives and the town
fathers. The current belief was, "He will
never amount to anything"
Well, did her He cut loose from his
home and associates, borrowed enough
money to carry him to Massachusetts,, and
struck in for fame and fortune with all the
vim and grit Tor which thoroughly Rwak-
ened Maine boys are famous.
That was twelve years ago. Today he
can draw his check for $4,000, and unless
indications are amiss will be millionaire
within five years. He is one Of the leading
shoe manufacturers in BrocktOD, Mass.
and every dollar Of his fortune was won by
his own endeavOrs. He has made a pres
ent of a handsome new school house to his
native town. He still owns and pays taxes
on the.old home place, and there isn't q
man in town but who is proud to point out
the house to strangers and tell the story of
the man who has made big bright mark
in the bustling world.-Lewiston Journal.

tons will be of wrought iron, 60 tons Of

The Coffee Cup n Business Thermometer.
Germans began drinking water during
the Seven Years war (1756-63), stolidly
scoffed at opposition TO the practice, and
hated Napoleon all the more for restricting
it by his Continental Blockade" uni
yersal peace was accompanied by universal
indulgence in the exhilarating cup. Ameri-
cans took kindly to its contents, and by
constantly enlarging demand impaired
powerful impetus to coffee commerce and
culture. Rise in prices during the great
civil war diminished the consumption
about two hundred thousand tons" But
for that it is asserted that ''the world
would not have had coffee enough"
Demand rose with every Union victory,
and fell with every Union defeat Con-
sumption increased 1854 per cent. in 1854,
IFS per cent in 1865, 1915 per cent. in 1896,
and 29.25 per cent. ia 1867. Removal Of
duties and financial prosperity increased
the call for the aromatic berry, and ad-
vance In price because Of short crops or
syndicate operations diminished it. The
coffee cup is q business Thermometer in the
United States. - Richard Wheatley in
Harper's Weekly.
