New Lines and Active Compe-
ton.

il ton.
i 1t is the live town, the wide
awake, the aggressive, the am
bilious, the enthusiastic village
and city that "gets there" to
resort to current slang. e 1t lis
the dead town, the sleepy
town, the self-satisfied in
different, disunited, don'tEcare
village or city that has
Igrass growing in its streets,
that shows empty thoroughfares
ot traffic and idle clerks and
lounging draymen and desola-
tion and poverty Whenever
the mildew of sloth and callous-
ness falls and fasten upon a
town, then Ichabod is written
on its banners, the bats and
owls begin to take up..their
quartersIn the great warehous-
es, and the birds of prey hover
around to get their pickings
while the sleepers are abed.
LII ever there was time of
push and go and get up and
get, it is the present. The live
business centres are like bee
hives. The plans for reaching
wider fields of conquest are laid
calmly and'cunningly and eau
tiously. The multiplying Of
active agencies Of traffic and
the earnest energy of the men
of business are all brought to
bear upon new conquests and a
more sweeping reach into the
regions beyond. The great
arteries of trade are opened
wider, the wisdom Of spending
money for more money is un-
derstood and practlced.
Some villages and cities act
upon the principle SO wisely
planned by ancient Rome. That
great city constructed roads of
such soiidity and excellence
that to this day, after more
than two thousand years, they
are firm and servicsable. These
great highways were straight
and led out into all the great
conquered nations, but all cen
tered in the Forum at Rome.
1t was so when they conquered.
They built, as in London, four
lgreat roads penetrating En-
Igland, but centering IN the
Forum at the city on the
Thames. These roads are to be
seen now after the lapse. of more
than sixteen hundreds years.
| Cities now in the United
Estates construct the iron roads
and put upon them the ponder
GUS engines and the long trans
of cars, and these roads for the
most part constitute the great
highway of trade.
Tho live towns multiply these
feeders. They use the water.
way and railway as fast as
possible.
But the more constructions OF
railroads will not alone do the
work. The locomotive engine
is a grand piece Of machinery
but It will draw no traffic with.
out steam in its boiler.
The cities and towns may
have every natural advantage
and even construct numerous
roads, but something else must
be done. Trade must be invited
; and trade must be sought. The
rivalry increases with the mul.
ltiplying Of roads. The mon.
opoly cannot remaifioag unless
the energy and activity TlT
equal to all demands, and the
inducements and advantages
equal or surpass all competi'
tion.
Durham is excellently situat
ed for growth-for an increase
of commercc-for a more ex
, tended trade. But every ad
Vantage, every opportunity
must be utilized and lmproyel
Let the whole town pull togeth

The tongue is a very unruly
member. Il is the curse Of
many a man, Of many q house

many a church. 1t is a terrible
thing whom it ropes cut its
slander that carries with il the
sting Of death TO character. A
slanderer is a bad man at heart,
and deserves the seyerest con-
demnation and even sharp pun
ishment. He is the theme Of

Of denunciation in the Chris

Spiders That Sail BALLOONS.

There are two minute animals, usual
ly called insects, which produce gos-
samer. These are the gossamer spiders,
and therefore, according to the later 20
illogical classification, they are not
strictly speaking, insects, but form part
of distinct class of animals called the
arachnida. The ascent of the gossamer
balloons made by these spiders only
takes place in bright, serene weather,
and is invariably preceded by produc-
ton of gossamer ON the ground. When
impelled by desire of traversing the
air, the gossamer spiders climb to the
summit of various objects, and thence
emit the viscous threads in such man
ner as that they may be drawn out to a
great length and fineness, and when
sufficiently acted upon by the ascending
current, they quit hold of the objects on
which they rested and commence their
aerial flight by floating away, the gos,
samer acting exactly in the same way as
a balloon.
The threads of gossamer are so deli
cate that a single one cannot be seen
unless the sun shines on it, The viscid
fluid is elected by the spider with great
force, becoming a thread, and several
such threads are produced at once in
radiating form, which facilitates their
being caught by the current Of heated
air and borne upward, carrying the
spider along with them. The spider is
said even to have the power, to some
extent, of guiding in the air the balloon
like web by which it is waited up

Bald Heads Polished.

"Do you want your skull polishedY'
asked the barber of the baldheaded man.
"Skull? How muchY' demanded the
latter.
II have here" said the barber, "a
French preparation which has just come
on the market, and which puts beau
tiful shine on bald heads. The polish
lasts three or four days and is not re-
moved by water. 1t wears off or cor
rodes eventually by the action of the
atmosphere, and then another applica-
tiOn can be made.
"Some men object TO the shine on
nald heads, and in Germany they take it
of with dilute acid. But in France
the lowing glory of a well dressed
bald head is an immaculate polish which
reflects the light like a dazzling dia-

Books Saved from tho Eira-

1t has been thought, or rather, more cor
rectly speaking, only fondly hoped, by the
learned men throughout Christendom
that among the rubbishy chronicles of the
kairouin there would some day be found
the missing classics, the lost books of
Euclid and of Livy, among others Indeed
in some OF the more ancient books of travel
on Morocco it is expressly stated that many
of the manuscripts that were saved from
the burning of the Alexandrian library
were taken to Seville, Granada and Fee.
In weighing these statements think it
should be remembered that the Kairouin
was founded at the very least 100 years
after the fire that was so disastrous to
learning, and that these manuscripts
would shaye had n lot Of knocking about
before they found home on the shelves
in the subterranean cellars of the Kairouin

and Granada the Moors may have brought
with them to Morocco many of the precious
volumes which are known to have been in
these Libraries, but which have now dis
appeared. Review.

Not So Rational After All.

When Edmund Burke Was preparing
the Indictment against Warren Hastings
he was told that Il person who had long re-
sided in India, but was now an inmate of
BedlaIn. could probably give him some
useful information. He went to Bedlam
accordingly, and thu maniac gave him, in
long, rational and well conducted CONVEX
sation, the results of long and various ex
perience OF Indian affairs. On leaving the
cell Burke told the keeper in attendance
that the poor man was as much in his
senses as he. The keeper answered, "Sir
please step back to the poor gentleman's
cell and ask him what he had for break
FAST
Burke could not refuse. "Pray, SIR"
said he, 'tell me what you had for break
fast" The man at once put on the wild
stare of a maniac and shouted: "Hobnails
siri 1t is shameful to think how they
treat us. They give us nothing but hob
nails!" and proceeded with ''descant
wild" about the horrors of the cookery of
Bethlehem hospital. At the first pause
Burke was glad to escape.-San Francisco

Tho Politician a, AN Actor.

There are multitudinous small things
which, IS q little man, one would suppose
must press heavily upon an eminent poll
tician. He must be civil to all men-civ-
iler perhaps to the fools than to any. The
fools no has always with him-always
The eminent politician must serve as the
especial butt to a vast and wonderful array
of bores. How he must despise the large
majority of his so called followers! With
what soorn he must regard them in his
heartl And yet how he has to go out of
his way to solicit the favor of their vote
and INTEREST," How he has sometimes to
palter with lie-he must havel How he
must be all things to all men
He is an actor as much as any actor that
ever troo the mimic stage, and be he sick
or sad he has to give satisfaction to the
audience in front, il he would keep his
situation. He has to struggle and strive
to keep in his hands the ends of fifty diff
ferent Strings which are being pulled in
fifty different directions, and preserve his
balance and his head amid them all.
And what is the end Of iti What is the
reward Of the eminent politician! 1t is
when one considers this question that one
is amazed to think that any man should
think it worth his while to pay the penal
ties of political greatness.-Au the Year

The Use of tho Right Foot.

That the right foot is, like the right
hand, ordinarily more mobile and at the
same time stronger than the left might be
attributed to the more frequent exertion
of this side, were it not that the peculiar
ity is said 20 extend itself even to the con-
stitution, and the left extremities are as
serted to be more liable to disease than the
right. The more difficult movements in
stage dancing are usually executed upon
the right foot, and it is generally consid-
cred that unless double practice be accord
ed to the left leg an ungraceful preference
for the right will he shown by the dancers
in their public performances.
Most people tread more firmly with the
right than with the lift foot There seems
to be Il grea5er capacity FOR propelling the
body with Jhe right font; from this the
horseman springs, with his left in the
stirrup. and unless left handed no boy in
his play hops naturally upon the left foot.
