Did you ever consider how two-sidee
most questions aid propositions are:
Especially is this the case in politics
Lately one might haze heard two opin
ions clearly expressed about Gov. Till
mans visit to Western distilleries ane
wholesale liquor houses. One man, o.
course Conservative, would say some
thing like the following: "It is humiliat
ing and repulsive to refined citizens thai
the Honorable Governor Of South Caro-
lima, should ,cave his Office to inspect
distilleries, to sample whiskies. to hob
mob with whiskey rings and trusts IL
order to lay in a supply Of alcoholic
drinks for his fellow citizens. For
Governor to assume the duties of liquor
faster and purveyor is lowering the
dignity of the Office" Many sympathize
with that opinion and think the Cover
nor out of place when in the hands OF
wholesale whiskey dealers.
On the other hand, you might heal
this opinion expressed about the Cover
nor by some friend and admirer: "Oi
course he is doing right. He is busi
ness Governor ard he does not intend
that the dealer shall cheat him in the
quality of the whiskey lie buys tor the
State. He is to be honored and applaud,
ed for visiting the liquor houses and
samping and inspecting the goods before
he trades. Ee is in his proper place and
at his proper work and we will stick the
closer to him for it.
Never before has South Carolina shown
herself up in such style as she has re.
Gently done in Washington in the scra:c-
Bile for Federal patronage. Senator lrby
is kicking against everything that does
not suit him and he even uses very strong
language. In fact he ''cusses out
things and persons that contravene his
plans and purposes. You will find the
same difference Of opinion about him and
his friends there. The Conservatives
think his conduct unbecoming South
Carolina Senator. His friends, the Till
nantes, believe that he is a bold mar
and that he is doing his full duty as be-
comes an independent Senator. Thus
YOU see that all these questions have two
sides

Would See Her Later.

Coming over from the east side the
other day University car was filled
with all sorts and conditions of pas
sengers, conspicuous among them being
some jolly university students. Oppo-
site the boys sat hard featured female,
evidently ON her way from a meeting.
Next to her sat bright faced woman
talking with friend Naturally the
talk drifted upon the subject of the re.
vival meetings, and the friend asked:
Il suppose you have been to some of
them %
mo, have not, the other replied
II haven't had time, ~ and as she spoke
she signaled the conductor to let her
off the car.
At her words the hard featured fe-
male sitting next to her quickly turned,
and leaning forward said in solemn
tones:
Haven't had time! Will You have
time to go to hell?
The car had stopped and as the lady
reached the door she hurriedly re-
torted:
IF / have, I'll see you later"
Then she stepped into the street per-
fectly conscious of having been able to
squelch woman who didn't know
enough to mind her own business.

Novel ManifoIding.

An Italian inventor PROPOSES q novel
method for duplicating copies of writ
ing. The mechanism for this purpose
is provided with two pens, supported
by framework in such manner that
their points are always in the same
horizontal plane; pen at the right ie
intended for the operator or writer,
and<th least stroke made by this pen
is at the same time duplicated by pen
at the left. The framework is so Joined
and hinged that the pens can be moved
in any direction, and a counterbalance
takes the weight of the frame from the
hand, SO that the act of writing is made
almost as easy as with the usual pen
and holder.
Two ink wells are provided at the
base of the stand, and the dipping of a
pen in one well causes the pen to dip in
the opposite we'll; and when the two
sheets of paper to be written on are
placed parallel to each other and Sc
cured the remainder of the work is as
simple as ordinary writing. The in
strument is designed in especial for
furnishing duplicates of contracts and
of those legal and other documents
which it is often desirable to have du-
plicated not only in words, but also in
the paper and handwriting New York

In Frozen Russia.

In Russia, where the cold is very in
tense, the markets are very curious
things. The meat is frozen; the carcases
of dead animals, as sheep and pigs, stand
upright outside the stalls; everything.
even game and poultry, requires to be
thawed before it can be cooked, and the
market peoples dress is as picturesque
as il is warm and comfortable.
Then the rivers are frozen over all the
winter long, and so thick is the ice that
every one can skate. anywhere and any
time. Stalls are put up on the ice and
busy markets held there.
In the Asiatic part of Russia the peo-
pie live chiefly by hunting and fishing,
and the fur of the Russian animals is
very beautiful-the ermine. fox, sable,
sea otter and others.
At the end of the winter, when the
snow melts, the huntsman pursues the
elk, wearing long shoes, in which he
can glide over the snow very quickly,
while the poor elk sinks into the snow
deeper and deeper every step and is at
last oyertaken and killed.-Good Words.

RAILROAD SCRAP IRON.

1t Is Carefully Saved, Assorted and Then
Sold by the Companies.
Nothing goes to waste on big rail-
road, and every scrap of iron and much
secondhand material is valued at a fixed
price and carried on the books as so much
stock on hand. The system followed by
the storekeepers department of one rail
road is a sample of many. The second
hand metals are gathered and placed in
piles, regularly assorted.
Then they are classified by the fore
man and taken into stock by the store
keeper or assistant. There are regular
schedules-one of material which can be
used again, which is denominated Sec
ondhand, and another of material which
has to be melted before it can be used
which is known as scrap.
The classes are arranged something
after the following order: Steel scrap,
Nos. /, 2, 8, 4, and 6, at prices ranging
from $2S ton down; wrought iron,
Nos. l, 2, 3 and 4; cast iron, Nos. I, 2, 8
and 4. Even borings are taken into ac-
count, brass borings being credited at
eight cents per pound and brass scrap
and copper at twelve.
This material is shipped to division
headquarters when a carload has accu-
mulated. Here it is disposed of by the
storekeeper on order Of his chief, being
shipped in carloads to big dealers in old
metals in large cities. Much Of it goes to
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and such points.
Orders for as high as 500, 900 pounds of
one kind of material are occasionally re-
ceived from single firms. Most of the
secondhand material is used over again
in the shops, but it is previously taken
on the books at a fixed price by the store
keeper and is charged up to the account
of the articles for which it is used. All
usable No. wrought iron is received
and charged up at l. cents pound, and
cast iron at one cent.-Philadelphia Call,

Since the Danish missionaries have
gained tho confidence of the natives of
Greenland, marriages in the far north
are celebrated by the representatives
of the church. In recent issue of one
of the Danish papers one of the mis-

of the way courtship and marriage are

However, suggests the missionary,

not accept the man as her husband

Cannibalism In Sagbaiien.

The Vladivostock, newspaper pub
lished in eastern Siberia, reveals terri
BILE state of affairs among the convicts on
the island of Saghalien. 1t would ap-
pear that the convicts there have been
treated by some of the subordinate prison
authorities so harshly that the governor
of the island has been obliged to inter-
fere for their protection.
A warder named Khanof and some
of his assistants, who at one time We're
convicts themselves and had been raised
to the rank of jailers, have been removed
from their posts. Khanoff's treatment
of the prisoners was 80 abominable that
a number of them crippled themselves,
cutting off fingers and toes in order to
be treated as invalids and to be freed
from his terrible cruelties. Others fled
to the impenetrable forest, where they
suffered all the horrors of hunger
In satchel belonging to fugitive
convict who had been hunted down
were found some pieces of human flesh.
Investigation revealed that this man had
been one of party of four, and that
only one of them now remained. The
others had been killed and devoured by
their comrades. Similar cases of canni-
balism are, according to the Siberian
journal, not infre1uent

ST.. THOMAS, West Indies, De-, 4,-As
this dispatch is sent the Brazilian
cruisers Nictheroy and America are pre-
pairing Ito sail under sealed orders for
come pc in Brazil. The Nictheroy ar
rived here Monday and steamed outside
Tuesday and Thursday, where excellent
Hotchkiss target practice was done.
The gun crews handled the new weapon
in a most admirable manner. The
America arrived here Yesterday after a
rough trip, and both vessels are ex-
pected to weigh anchor tonight and
head for the coast of Brazil. The offi-
GERS and crews OF the Nictheroy and
America are full OF fight and are most
anxious for brush with the enemy. A
cable message is said to have been ex-
changed here between the com
manders OF the Brazilian crnis-
ers and the home authorities, and
the former are said to have been noti-
fed that Mello has left Rio to meet
thsir ships. This mas caused all the
more enthusiasm among the crews OF
the America and the Nictheroy. Their
destination is secret. and it is reported
they will not be allowed to communi-
cate with the shore. 1t is doubtful when
any further news of President Peixoto's
two cruisers will be forwarded to the
United States. The Associated Press
correspondent on board the Nictberoy
has been well treated by the officers OF
the ship and anticipates witnessing the
most novel naval battle in the history
of ma itime warfare.

Sacred serpepts.

=
A general belief in the divine char
actor and healing powers of the sacred
serpent is to be met with all over
Egypt. Even the myths which the old
Egyptians associated with the snake
are still prevalent. Egyptians of all
classes still believe that when IA SER
pent grows old wings grow out of its
body" aud that there are serpents
which kill by darting flames in the
victim 8 face. How old such beliefs
are in this country need not be re-
peated to those who have seen the pie
lures in the tombs of the kings at
Thebes. The seref, or flying SER
pent, and the snake from whose
mouth flames issue are among the COM
monest of the figures painted on their
walls.
1t is not, however, as Kakodaemon,
but as Agathodaemon, that the divine
serpent of ancient Egypt still maintains
his chief hold ON the belief of the Egyp-
tian people. Each house still has its
harras, or guardian snake, common
ly known as the harras ell bet, q the pro-
tector of the house" The snake is fed
with milk and eggs, and care is taken
not to do it harm. A servant of mine,
who was born at Hclwan, near Cairo,
has often told me about the guardian
snake of his fathers house. 1t was
large one, and used to come out at
night for the sake of the food that was
offered it and to glide over the bodies
OF the sleeping family. 1t never did
any of them any mischief, las it was
always treated we'll" One day
stranger snake made its appearance at
the door of the house; the harras at
once went against it, and after short
struggle killed the intruder. Contem-
porary Review.
