The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1893-03-16

We: saw a brief in little weekly
paper the other day that read this
way: "The Democratic party will
always contain brains and force
enough to overcome any opposition"
We had not heard that brains were
needed. Thieve,y and rascality was
used up this way, brains were not in

Dignity and Duty.

The following story is told of the arch
bishop of Canterbury when he was head
master of Wellington college: One day the
prince consort attended by single equerry
rode over to Wellington and arrived just
as the doctor was about to address his boys.
The prince expressed a wish that the mas
ter should proceed in his presence. Having
with bare head, as etiquette demanded,
shown the prince to seat, he turned to the
boys, and replacing his cap began lecturng
them. Just then the equerry hurried up
and nudged him ON the elbow.
"Dr. Benson" said he.
YES" replied the doctor.
His royal highness is present." wills
pered the equerry.
II am proud to know it," was the an
swer.
The doctor had spoken scarcely half
dozen words before the courtier again broke
in:
'Dr. Benson, we all remain uncovered in
his royal highness' presence"
~ am his royal highness' most humble
and devoted servant" rejoined the doctor,
at the same time bowling low, with uncov-
cred head - The prince.

Governor Hoffman of New York delight

CURED during his term of Office. A bill was
passed regulating the size of apple barrels,
which was of so trivial character that the
governor vetoed it.
In the following summer an old farmer
from the Mohawk valley came into the ex-
ecutive chamber, and producing letter Of
Introduction, said:

the governor, that impressed me he was

The old man beamed with delight and
rose to take his departure.

Sending Messages In China.

China has not yet established government
postofices or postal system for the masses
of the people, with all her adoption of mod
ern ways, but private enterprise is depended
upon torender communication easy between
various parts of the empire. This private
transmission of mail is conducted through
what are called letter shops" No stamps
are used, but the chop" or sign of the
keeper of the letter shop" is always placed
upon the envelope.
In China imperial edicts and other official
communications are carried from city to
city and province to province by couriers.
Generally they make the trip afoot, but in
case of great haste they are provided with
horses at convenient relay stations Official
letters or dispatches are thus conveyed in
cases of emergency 200 or $50 miles a day.

1t is computed by leading psychologists
that since one-third of u second suflices to
produce an impression on the brain, man
who has lived to be 100 years old must have
collected upon the folds of his brain matter
at least 8, 467 ,2S0 600 impressions. Or, again,
take off one-third for sleep, and we still find
not less than 6,3ll 100000 indentations-
memory's finger marks-on and in the
brain. This would give 3,155, 7G0, 900 separ-
ate waking impressions to the man who
lives to be but so years old.
Allowing an average weight Of four
pounds to the brain, deduct one-fourth for
blood and other vessels and attachments,
and another fourth for external integu-
ment, and we still find that each separate
grain of brain matter contains 205, 542 traces
or impressions of ideas. OF course, these
calculations and general deductions must
be applied according to the temperament
of the individual. Well may it be said that
''divine handiwork is grandly shown in the
wonderful faculty which we call memory"

The Gratuitous Lie.

The gratuitous lie is not only doubly i'm
moral, but doubly dangerous. 1t always
takes on an unnecessary elaborateness sure
to attract attention and lead to deep seated
distrust on the hearers part. The iron
bound, copper fastened, indestructible lie
has as little detail as possible. Its safety
lies in its magnificent simplicity, not in its
circumstantial development. 1t is told
only under the pressure of necessity, and
it is framed so that single statement GOV
ers the whole case, But such a lie re-
quires high degree of TALENT" Surely,
and very fortunately, too, for the world can
only be conducted on basis of 80 per cent
truth to per cent of falsehood, and an in.
crease, be it ever SO slight, in the percent
age of successful liars would disorganize
commerce and society to an alarming ex-
tent.-Kate Fields Washington.

Americans In Europe.

On the crowded Munich railway platform
a soft southern voice was saying: Honey,
don't set down there right in the way;
they'll tromp on YOU" A small girl rose
up, clasping to her bosom cigar box with
a perforated cover. There was something
curious about this box, because hurried
travellers who came too near it started sud
denly away and regarded the little party
of three, an old lady and two children, with
undisguised horror. After some space of
struggling with the intricacies of that badly
spelled and poorly pronounced English
which jewellers beyond the Rhine choose to
call their German tongue, it was delightful
to hear the accents of ones native land, and
an excuse was seized upon to make the old
lady's acquaintance.
She was from Georgia and knew no other
tongue than her own. She was 65 years of
age and was travelling for the first time in
Europe with her two small grandchildren.
She had experienced no difficulty whatever,
and, indeed, without word of German
managed to secure for herself ON this occa-
sion the best carriage aud get her luggage
attended to before any one else by mere dint
of gentle, sweet voiced persistence. The
Teutonic officials merely shrugged help
lessly and obeyed when she said: mo, yo'
don't take that bag-yo' hear mel Set it
right down there like tell yo'," all in tones
as soft as rose leaves.
Another traveller at this moment SHE'D
violently away from the little girls box,
from which the serpent like heads were be
ing thrust, and this attracted the old lady's
attention, causing her to ask gently:
Honey, amt those turkles of yo'rs hun
gry"
"Yes, grandmaw, l reckon they are"
said the child. "They amt been fed since
we left Flawrence" And the train car
ried the Georgans and the hungry turtles
away.-Cor. Harpers Bazaar.

THE RIGHT USE OF TOBACCO.
There Is Only One Way to Get the Full
Benefit of the Luxury.

There IL Only One Way to Get the Full
Benefit of the Luxury.
Tobacco consists of the leaves and stalk
OF plant charged with an aroma purify
Ing, sustaining, exhiarating and fragrant
to the human being. Like the aroma of a
rose, this aroma should be inhaled in the
form of cool vapor by the human nose. The
chewer, like the cab horse, eats the leaves
and stalk. He uses the tobacco at the right
temperature, but in the wrong form, and
puts it into his mouth.
The snuffer reduces the leaves and stalks
10 powder and puts 1t into his nose. He
uses the tobacco at the right temperature
and puts it into the right place, but con-
verts it into wrong form. The cigar
smoker gets the tobacco into the right
form, but puts 1t at a wrong temperature
into wrong place. The cigarette smoker
blends the filthy rags and other materials
out of which paper is made with the to-
bacco. The pipe smoker puts his tobacco
into q receptacle which is used for an in
definite time, is very difficult to clean and
tends to produce cancer of the tongue and
lips.
Moreover, in all forms of smoking the
tobacco becomes saturated with the smok-
er's breath This seems to he almost poi
sonous. 1t is this which causes the lower
half of half smoked cigar, if left on a ia
BILE for II few hours, to become indescrb-
ably rank. 1t is this which makes the
smoke of tobacco in foul pipe noxious
and the smoke of tobacco not pressed down
to the bottom of a clean bowl nauseous,
even to the smoker himself.
Nature protests against this abuse of her
beauty. She tweaks the incipient snulfer's
nose. She weakens the cigar smokers
heart and sometimes threatens him with
paralysis. She inflicts cancer of the lips
and tongue upon the pipe smoker. A child
who sucks foul pipe she sometimes strikes
dead. What is the lesson she is trying to
teach' What is the right mode of using
her delightful giftS
Obviously to reduce it in vapor, to cool
the vapor and to apply the pure cold vapor
to the nose. For this end a combination of
the hookah and odorizer is all that is need
ed. If you stand on the grating of snuff
mandatory, how delicious is the odor!
Such would be the contents of tobacco
scent bottle, equally exhilarating to both
sexes, a disinfectant, restorative and a
perfume in onel-Gentleman's Magazine

1t aims to cure Consumption,

most effectually breaks up Colds,

Throat and Lung troubles that
cause this disease.
1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
OF COP LIVER OIL has power
toprevent Consumption, it sure
ly is allie to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This vigor-making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
ly Tasteless, in so far as Cod
Liver Oil is concerned. All
you notice is a delightful flavor
of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is a great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is a natu-
raj food that in its stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchia
