Two WAYS of Meeting Trouble.

It is hardly fair to that be-
III a woman appears to be more al
fected by small worries that therefore
she has more to bear. The worries of
the house, we admit, fall mostly to the
woman's share-indeed, In the actual
sharing of these little woes we should
say that the man generally comes off
the worse, for when the cook is imper-
inent, or a chimney smokes the master
| of the house is almost always called into
lend his aid and sympathy, whereas he
can hardly count upon much help or
sympathy from his wife when his own
soul is vexed by the shortcomings of his
clerk or the stupidity of his groom.
When it to questions of the
minor ills that affect the body, the case
is entirely reversed. Here a woman
will show an infinitely greater and more
admirable patience than a man does,
and while he RACES impotently against
some small ache or pain, she will suffer
in the most stoical and resigned silence.
1t is certainly curious how differently
the small worries Of mind and body af-
feet the two sexes In the case Of the
former, the merely mental worries, a
mans natural impotence of suffering
comes really to his aid.
He at once assures himself that the
matter cannot be helped or remedied,
and therefore that it is Of no use troub-
ling himself over it. He resigns himself
to the inevitable, or rather to what he
chooses to consider as inevitable, and
successfully hastens to forget it and
think of something else. A woman's
patience rather stands in her way. She
cannot bring herself to think that the
matter is inevitable, and even though
she can see no possible remedy she will
still trouble and vex herself with the
vain effort to right the wrong, or to
prove to her own satisfaction that she
has been i'll and ~unjustly treated.-Lon-
don Spectator.

A Remarkable Man.

A strange story is told Of a contractor
of Chicago. While at work he swears
and drinks like a good fellow, or rather
bad fellow, but as 500 as he has reached
his home and donned his feminine attire
he is a changed man. He is not a man;
he is a woman-so far as dress and man
ners can make one. He puts on corsets
and form improvers, shaves and powders
his face, pierces his big red ears and in
serts in them great golden earrings. He
has spent much of his earnings for gaudy
ball dresses and evening wardrobes;
spent his time and wealth in dressing
himself up in the height of the feminine
fashion, in COMPRISING is waist, in
shortening his steps, i'll whitening his
hands and face, in learning womanly
grace and, in short, in making himself
a woman, with all her little graces,
poses, foibles. He is a strong mana
man who has done manual labor almost
all his life, a man who can outclimb,
outwrestle, outdrink and outrun ninety
nine men out of a hundred of his neigh
bors. He is said to he worth 800, 000.-

Her Last

A Springfield gentleman tells of a
terrible railroad accident he was in some
time ago, on his way home from the
west. He escaped with only a few
bruises and Immediately joined the
force of men who were doing their
utmost to rescue the victims. The
sleeper was on fire and the scenes there
were terrible. After a hard struggle
they managed to drag one old lady
through a window. She was terribly
hurt, but she had just breath enough to
whisper to her deliverers that her
daughter Elviry lived in a little Yer
mont town, and she wanted them to be
sure that Elviry had the new switch
sent her, which she hadn't worn but a
couple of weeks. Being Elviry's own
hair, twas a perfect match, and she'd
probably want to wear it. And then in
q few minutes the careful old soul
passed away.-Springield CMass.) Home

A WITHERED ROSE.

Only a fower-and the flower is withered:
Only a rose with the color flown,
Like one that a careless hand has gathered
And left to die in the dust alone!
Only a rosel Is it good to treasure
Dreams Of Dreams that were dreamt in
vain
A fugitive pang for an hour Of leisure
A thrill of pleasure, a throb Of pain,
From the Past that canno return again?
Who shall say2 But a magic fingers
Round this colorless rose today
Now, as then, when her soft white fingers
Plucked the bloom from the bending
spray
Now, as then, when the summer splendor
Warmed the land with it's wealth of flowers
And the beautiful skies were blue and tender,
And the bird songs sounded among the bow
erS-
Now, as then, in the golden hours.
l have kept the rose, but its bloom has faded,
The leaves have withered, the scent has
fed,
And the skies are clouded, the world is
shaded,
The summer is over, the flowers are dead;
And the beautiful love that WAS fair and
pleasant
Is buried deep meath the fallen SHOWS,
And leaves no trace in the empty present
Poor, perished lOve-of its long repose
But this dusty relic-this withered rose!

Wood That Paper Is Made From.

Wood forms the basis of all modern
paper. Almost any kind can be used,
but spruce is regarded by manufacturers
as the most serviceable in the long run.
Other kinds which may be used to a
greater or less degree are white pine,
Norway pine, white fir, pitch pine, pop
lar, beech, birch, cypress, tamarack,
sweet gum and hemlock.
The best shape for the wood is in logs
four to ten inches in diameter, free from
knots and used as soon after telling as
possible. The next best form is in the
shape of deal ends from sawmills. In
ferior qualities of paper are made from
slabs and edgings of wood.
A great deal depends on the quality of
the wood. If the wood is poor and lack,
ing in fiber, then the paper made from
it will be weak and lacking in tough.
ness. The wood which can be used fo1
paper making costs ali the way from
$3.50 to $40 a cord in the east, and as
low as $3.50 a cord in the west.
In Michigan the lowest prices of all
prevail.-New York Evening Sun.

AmaZOnS In Review.

Reviews or maneuvers of the AmaZons
are held frequently during the annual
custom and are not the playful affairs
that they are in civilized countries. In
a space used as a drill ground there is
built a bank Of thorny cactus bushes
about ! 300 feet long, 20 feet broad and
z feet high. Beyond and parallel with
this heap is a house representing a fort.
The barefoOted female warriors have to
surmount three times the heap of thorns
which represent the Notifications, de-
scend into the clear space like a ditch,
escalade the house, which represents a
citadel bristling with defenses, and take
the town simulated by the hut. They
are to be twice repulsed by the enemy,
but at the third assault they are victo-
rious and drag the prisoners to the kings
feet in token of success. The first to
surmount all the obstacles receives from
his hand the reward of bravery, for,
says the king, 1--WE reckon military
valor as the first of the virtues"
The king places himself at the head
Of the column, harangues his women
soldiers, infames them, and at a given
signal they throw themselves with the
utmost fury upon the bank Of thorns
which torture their naked feet. At the
first assault, when the most intrepid
had already gained the summit of the
house, | saw a woman soldier, who was
at one of the ends, fall to the ground
from a height of sixteen feet. She was
wringing her hands and remained
seated, though her comrades were try
ing to reanimate her with courage,
when the king himself came up and
threw at her a glance and cry of indig-
nation. She sprang up then as if cleo
trifed, continued the maneuvers and
carried off the first prize. 1t is impos-
sible to give an idea of the scene

THE DURHAM GLOBE is making strong
and earnest efforts to raise a creditable
sum, by subscription, to defray the ex-
pense of an exhibit of the states resources
at the Worlds fair, which is to be held in
the city of Chicago. THE GLOBE heads
the list with $3.50, and urges all patriotic
people in the state to join in. While the
bank account of the Times will not bear
a very large subscription, we desire to
say that our heart is right with you,

A Mania for Calendars and Maps.

In the back part of one of the Office
buildings in Broad street, and on one of
the upper floors, there is a small room.
the walls of which are thickly hung with
calendars and maps. A young broker
occupies the room, and he is possessed
of such a mania for illuminated calen-
dars and railroad maps that he frequent
ly neglects bis business to go on collect
ing tours. He has several score of
calendars for the year 1892 of various
sizes and colors, all of which he has
begged or pilfered from other offices.
Some of these calendars are very elabo-
rate and handsome. OF railroad maps
this peculiar young broker has fifty or
more, representing the principal roads
in this country.-New York Times.

John Burns Two Suits,

An amusing anecdote of the dock strike
is related by Mr.. John Burns. 1t is a
story of two suits of clothes. One day
the newness Of Mr.. Burns attire aroused
the suspicious of a political adversary,
who accused him on the strength Of this
evidence of making a fine thing out of
the poor lockers" Hereupon Mr.. Burns
insisted on relating the history of his
new suit. 1t was very simple. Nine.
Tussaud being DESTROYS of adding a wax
model of Mr.. Burns to her collection,
she expressed a wish to present him
faithfully ''in his habit as he lived"
Every WELL" said Mr.. Burns; "but if
you want to take my clothes, it is only
fair to give me another rigout." So she
did, and hence the gloss of novelty.
The explanation was accepted, but
some time afterward Mr.. Burns once
more appeared in a new suit, which was
so evidently not the anne suit that his
old antagonist sarcastically shouted,
"You didn't get them at Nine. Tus-
saud's." This time it appears the scoffer
was correct. 1t appeared that Mr.. Louis
Tussaud had also set up a model of Mr..
Burns in his rival establishment, in Re
gent street, and he, too, desired to strip
the lockers champion Of his garments.
In common fairness, the latter was
bound to stipulate for the same terms.
Thus, once more, the explanation was
simple. The suspicious suit was not
Mime. Tussaud's, but it was a Tussaud
suit for all that.-San Francisco Argo-
naut.

Will They Do 1t?

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 C%arolinians to swell the amount.
Since the $4,000 appropriation C) 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.

Driven Cut of a Hotel, They Decide to
Return to Their Homes.

ONANCoCK, Va, April 2.-News comes
here from Cape Charles, Northampton
county, that a man and woman arrived
there several nights ago on the Norfolk
steamer and registered at the Arlington
Hotel as man and wife. After they had
retired to their room the proprietor Of
the hotel got information hat the parties
were clipping to another state to get mar
ried. On investigating the man proved
to be a well known white man from one
of the counties on the western side of the
Chesapeake, who has a wife and several
children still living, while the woman
with whom he was clipping proved to be
a negro. The news spread about the
town like wildfire, and soon a large
crowd assembled at the hotel, anxious to
get a glimpse at the two runaways. The
proprietor of the hotel was so indignant
that he unceremoniously hustled the pair
out into the street, and the man and wo-
man fed from the crowd and were forced
to spend the night at a colored boarding.
house on the outskirts of the town. The
man returned home early the next morn
ing on the steamer, while the woman
took the first train for Philadelphia.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-In a commu-

ternational conference on silver, Presi-
dent Harrison says: cit may not be
inappropriate to say, believing, as do,
in the full use of silver as a coin metal,
that a ratio agreed upon by the great
commercial nations of the world would
very highly promote the prosperity of all
their people. L have not and will not
let any favorable opportunity pass for
promoting that most desirable result or
if free international silver coinage should
not presently be attainable, then to
secure the largest practicable use of that
metal" He will inform the senate at
the earliest moment after definite in
formation can be properly given.

the court was severely restricted. When
the Judge entered he at once summoned
the jury, who presented a greatly dis

friends of the prisoner evidently greatly
frightened the jurors, and the journal

it would require very strong evidence to
force them to render verdict of guilty
in the face of the threats of death made
against them if they decide against the
prisoner. Ravaclol told the story of his

Strange it Seems There Appears to be
no Back Bone Amongst Au-
thorities.

PARIS, April 27.-People in Paris are
panic stricken at the audacity of the
anarchists. The feeling of fear is
heightened by the apparent impotency
of the police to prevent the anarchists
from committing outrages, when and
where they please. So strong is the
feeling of fear that many residents of the
city and foreign visitors are leaving or
making very hurried preparations to
leave. After the explosion of the bomb
in Very's restaurant, which shattered
the building, nearly killed the pro-
prietor, and did other damages, an ex-
cited crowd, sometimes numbering 20
600, filled the streets and surrounded the
wreck. The affair was discussed in loud
and angry voices, and everybody Joined
in condemning the outrage, for which no
excuse is offered. Herot, the waiter in
Very's retaurant, who informed the
police of RavachoPs habit of dining
there, received an anonymous letter yes
terday, in which it was said eff
Ravachol is condemned tomorrow, re-
member that at the same hour you will
be attacked by the engines of our VEN
geance." A dynamite cartridge found
last night under the. staircase of the
house in Rue d'Engheim was analyzed
and found to contain kilogram of
dynamite and kilogram of sebaetine.
