An Amusing Trick.

Select a boy who will be easy to man
age and seat him at a table with a COB
let between his teeth. Now tell him to
groan and make other doleful sounds,
still keeping the glass between his teeth.
This part of the performance having
passed off, say to him, 81 think, my
friend, that the results would be more
satisfactory if l should cover your head
with this towel" Accordingly his head
is then enveloped in a cloth on which
two marks have been previously made
with charcoal to represent the eyes.
Care must be taken that the glass is still
kept between his teeth.
When all is ready he is told to con-
tinue to make the sounds he had made
before. If all goes we'll the resonance
of the sounds, amplified by the presence
of the glass and the curious aspect Of
the boy, will form a combination quite
sufficient to please the most exacting.-

Persian TOmbak.

Tombak is a narcotic, which is known
under the name Of Nicotiana Persica,
and is cultivated in Persia exclusively,
in the provinces of Chiraz, Kechan and
Ispahan. Its quality varies with the
place of production. The best tombak
is that which is derived from Chiraz.
The production Of this province varies
between 1900 and 1000 bales a year,
which is almost entirely consumed by
members Of the imperial family.
Tombak of this superior quality is not
very abundant, and the price paid for it
is about fifty or sixty francs the oke, the
oke being equivalent to 2.8pounds avoir-
dupois. The province of Kechan pro-
duces the second quality of Persian tom
bak. With small leaves like the Chiraz
tombak the product of Kechan is not
even so abundant.-Kew Bulletin.

ENGLAND BEFORE THE STORM.

The day that is the night of days.
With cannon fire for sun ablaze,
We spy from any pillows lift;
And England still this tidal drift!
Would she to sainted f~orethought vow
A SPACE before the thunder's food,
That martyr of it's hour might now
Spare her the tears of blood2
Asleep upon her ancient deeds,
She hugs the vision plethora bleeds,
And counts her manifold increase
OF treasure in the fruits of peace.
What curse on earth's ~improvident,
When the dread trumpet skaters rest,
Is wreaked, she knows, yet smiles content
AS cradle rocked from breast.
She, impious to the Lord of Hosts,
The valor of her offspring boasts,
Mindless that now on land and main
His needed prayer is active brain.
No more great heart may guard the home,
Save eyed and armed and skilled to cleave
Yon swallower wavew with shroud of foam,
We see not distant heave.
They stand to be her sacrifice,
The sons this mother filings like dice,
To face the odds and brave the Fates;
AS in those days of starry dates,
When annon lannon's counterblast
Awakened, muzzle muzzle bowled,
And high in swathe Of smoke the mast
It's fighting rag outrolled.

UNION COUNTY CONVENTION.


MONROE, n. c., April 6.-The execu'
tive democratic committee has called q
county convention to be held here on
Saturday, May 7 to elect delegates to the
state and district conventions. The pri-
maries will be held April 81 at the usual
voting places in the various townships.
Just how the democratic ranks will stand
at that time cannot now Ike known but
judging from the general expressions of
opinion, there will be at least harmony
enough to prevant a split.
Night before last another republican
convention, consisting almost entirely of
negroes, was held in a school house in
the suburbs of town, but the result of
their proceedings has not been made
known publicly. They seem to have had
no split, but pulled tremendously to-
gether.
The mad dog which recently bit the
little son of E. J. Griffin, has been killed,
much to the qualification Of the people
in Euto settlement.

An Old English Institution.

We have quite lost the mughouse.
This was a kind of music hall,
a large room where only men were ad-
mitted, and where ale or stout was the
only drink consumed. Every man had
his pipe; there was a president. A harp
played at one end of the room, and out
of the company present one after the
other stood up to sing. Between the
songs there were toasts and speeches,
sometimes of a political kind, and the
people drank to each other from table
to table.-Walter Besant in Rarper's.

Will They Do 1t?
Winston Sentinel

THE DURHAM DAILY GLOBE has started
a subscription to have North Carolina
represented at the Worlds fair. 1t heads
the list by a donation of $3.50 and asks
all North Carolinians to swell the amount.
Since the $25,OOO appropriation () by
the last General Assembly proves of no
avail, we feel warranted in saying that
all loyal North Carolinians will encour-
age this effort and appropriate according
to their respective means.

at the Opera.

The orchestra was rendering a famous
intermezzo, and the beautiful dulcet
strains charmed, as it were, the very at
m%osphere Of the brilliant auditorium
with their sweetness.
Before me sat a young man who lis
tened to the grand, moaning, signing
melody with rapt attention. l glanced
around and noted that everybody was
impressed-even the occupants of the
boxes deigned to listen-but the face of
the young man showed Enthusiastically
that the music stirred him with unusual
emotion.
Slowly, slowly, yet how quickly those
last parting notes died away and were
heard no more.
Then followed a storm Of applause.
A glance over the house disclosed thou
sands of hands-from the less aristo-
cratic mes in the gallery to the dainty
gloved ones in the boxes-in animated
demonstration of their owners intense
appreciation of the brilliant musical
conception.
Yet what a mockery was this, coming
when the air was still impregnated with
the subtle melody. How that generous
tribute of approval grated on the ears!
The young man in front of me did not
applaud, nor did the pretty young lady
who was with him. Neither of them
spoke a word. Presently the young man
looked around at the demonstrative au-
dience with a look of contempt on his
face.
When the house had again become
quiet the young man turned to the
young lady and said: "How charming!
how exquisite! What beautiful color of
tone and how d~elicately shaded"
81 am so glad you like it, George"
she replied sweetly. What a beautiful
pale blue, indeed! My very ideal! l
have had my eyes on it all evening"
"On what?" asked the young man in
surprise.
"Why the charming dress of that
young lady in front of us. Is not that
what you meany'
"Oh-yes-yes, of course"
Silence followed between these two
souls for the remainder of the evening.
| was panied at the young mans dis
tress, and l went home soliloquizing on
mems and women's ideals. New York

be remembered, bought the T. B. Lyon
land near Trinity college only a few
weeks ago, have already had the property
laid off and plated into nice streets and
lots, and are now ready to sell the lots to
any person desiring to build. 1t is the
intention of the company to build up a
nice community out there. Lots will be
sold reasonable, as it is not the purpose
of this company to try to make a fortune
out of it. For prices, ETC., apply to J. B.
