JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
What Great Georgia Paper Says of
a Distinguished and Popular Tar
Heel Editor.

What Great Georgia Paper Says of
Distinguished and Popular Tar
Heel Editor.
Secretary Hoke Smith, last Saturday,
made promotion which meets with
genuine commentator in Democratic
circles 1t was the appointment of Mr..
Josephus Daniels, OF Raleigh, N. c.,
as chief clerk of the Interior Depart
ment.
Mr.. Daniels has held four positions
since the fourth of March, and as each
change has marked a higher step for
him, his friends wonder what will
come next to the young North Caro-
linlan.
Mr.. Daniels says he is 81 years old,
but as his face is as smooth as wOm-
ans, and his eyes twinkle like twin
stars, some are prepared to doubt that
he is over twenty-five. Josephus
Daniels is we'll known in North Caro-
lima. He has the politics OF the State
at his finger tips and Tar Heel visitors
to the national capitol never fail to
call on him. He is the owner and
editor of the Raleigh Month Cu0A0ian
the biggest Democratic weekly in the
Old North State. He has been
monkeying with the types since a
tender age, has served in every capac-
ty from "devil' 10 editor and knows
everything about a newspaper from
the business office to the abode of the
think pan and shears.
Mr.. Daniels had a small printing
press and published the whilom
Boys Weekly while yet scholar
When he was seventeen he bought out
the Wilson AdUance. In five years
he ran up its circulation from $50 to
$500. The young editor wanted a
larger field, SO he sold and departed
for Raleigh, the State capital, where
he obtained a controlling interest in
the North Ca10l1nian, which he still
retains. Like many another good
fellow who has entered the portals OF
newspaperdom, it is the ruling passion
with him. He devotes his spare time
nights to writing for his paper from
here.
The legislature of North Carolina
has four times made Mr.. Daniels pub.
lie printer over powerful and popular
competitors. He was one of the
foremost newspaper men to hgh,
against the reduction of compositor's
rates in his State, and invariably has
the support of the Typographical
Union for public printer He is also
| a member of the school board ir
Raleigh, and has been a firm frienC
of the public schools of his city anc
State.
/ Mr.. Daniels was transferred from
) the place Of appointment clerk to hi
present position. He came in contac
;, with all the public men in that posi-
: ton and has made many warm friend
: among them. He believes in filling
the offices with Democrats and as
: consequence there are few if any place
: left in the Interior department filled
a by people of the opposite politica
u persuasion.
+ He will, of course, return to hi
), native State when his term expire
q and his friends here predict for him
particularly bright future FLASHING

save that which is settled upon the basis
of proved fact. Every tradition, every
theory, every creed, must stand the test
OF this investigation. Every theory of
state, every nation of society, every
theory of religion, must be resubmitted

truth, the whole truth, nothing but the
truth
For the first time in the history OF the
world this spirit dominates the educated
mind. Hitherto we have simply clung
to the past with passionate and blind
devotion. Father Ryan we'll expresses
this ancient ideal:
Yea! Men will cling,
With a love to the last,
And wildly fling
Their arms round their past
AS the vine that clings to the oak that falls,
AS the ivy twines round the crumbled
walls;
For the dust of the past some hearts higher
prize
Than the stars that flash out from the
futures bright skies.

The creeds of the world within the next

being destroyed with a rapidity that
will give the world new religion within

Equine Tenant Of the White House.
A horse has his home at the White
He use. This is a literal fact which
visitors never discover and which few
Washington people know. The horse
which shares the executive mansion
with the President isn't a thorough
bred. He has neither pedigree nor rec
ord. He is just Il plain, everyday
horse, with a white star in his forehead,
a faithful companion to Edgar r. Beck
ley. And who is Edgar X. Beckley?
The man who for twenty-five years has
carried to and from the White House
all of the interesting and valuable mail
received and sent, and who has never
been found remiss in his duty. There
are men who seem to me monuments
of fidelity to routine trusts. Beckley
Is one of them. Rain Or shine, in all
seasons, he makes the hourly trips be-
tween the White House and the city
postOffice. He Is the White House mail
carrier. And the horse that has his
home in the White House carries
Beckley. The part Of the mansion set
apart for the horse is n corner of
the conservatory. A thin partition Is
all that separates the roOmy stall from
the orchids. There is just room enough
for the stall and a temporary supply of
feed, and there the horse eats and
sleeps, under the same roof with the
President of the United States. -Globes

Marseiues an Ancient Port.

The earliest dates assigned for the
f"tl dation of the port of Marseillles,
France, is b. G. 12OO-1O0O, when, It is
alleged, certain Phoenician settlers es-
tablished trading ports in this locality;
the theory-that the city owes its
origin to the Phccnicians-has been
Strengthened by certa'n archaeological
traces which were brought to light dur
Ing the opening lip of streets in 1856.
Classical tradition, however, but with
less supporting evidence, ascribes the
foundation of "Massila' to a colony of
the Phoenicians who emigratcd with
families from Asia Minor to escape
the tyranny Of Cyrus (B. c. 60O,) and
OF whom mention is made by Herodo-
tus and Horace. 10 whatever founder
the city may look for its origin, its rap

Tale.

Considering its usefulness, there are
few things about which SO little is gen
orally known as tale. Inis material Is
a superior kind of soapstone-gray, vel
low, white or fibrous, according to the
conditions under which it Is found.
FIbrous tale is found chiefly in New
York State, and is used in the manu-
facture of paper. AS all tale is absO-
lCtely fire-proof it is extremely valuable
for the manufacture of nOn-combusti-
bic wall papers, paper window cur
tains. etc. Powdered tale, made from
the ordinary tale of tI2lce, Italy,
North Carolina. Georgia, and Alabc-
ma, is largely used in soap factories as
a filler for the cheaper grades of soap.
1t is n OF the best lubricants known,
and when mixed with the
grades of soap it renders them as pleas
ant to the touch as the most expensive
brands. Although it has no cleansing
power, it makes the skin soft and
smooth. 1t is this quality that makes
1t SO much In demand for infant pow
dc rs. 1t is so tAqujsitely soft and
fine grained that it prevents chatting
irritat. on OIL ever the tcnderest skin.
Another familiar form in which talk
appears IS French o. tailors' chalk,
and it is also used in shoe stores to
enable people to slip on a shoe about
two sizes too small for them. Tale,
too, is the housekeeper's remedy for
grease spots. She covers the spot with
little pure powder, puts IN Il piece Of
blotting paper, and over that a hot iron.
and the grease spot is no more. Mixed
with plaster, tale gives a smooth, glossy
finish to the walls and ceiling OF Il
room which no other substance will
produce; and 1t is Of the utmost value

Someone who owed Smedley a grudge
in the city-a former clerk Of the firm
he had robbed, heard the news and
went straight away to Scotland Yard
with it, and a detective went down at
once to the town where Marlborough
thought he had seen the culprit at the
theater. And SO it came about that
after a lapse Of years, during which
Jack Smedley's crime and his mysteri-
ous flight had almost dropped out Of
remembrance, Tom Y~arborough's
chance visit to a little provincial thea
ter suddenly set the hounds of Justice
once more On his track.
Rose Smedley, convinced that the
man who was acting with a provincial
company under the name Of Wilson
was her missing husband, went back
to London with the photograph of the
woman who called herself Mrs. Wilson.
IN her pocket.
The photograph was the clue by
which she hoped to trace the man. She
thought all the circumstances v
and made up her mind that her hus-
band. alarmed at being recognized by
Marlborough, would not risk Il public
appearance again yet awhile, but the
woman would probably get another en-
sagement. They were evidently DOOR.
and would have to live on her salary.

able to give her some information.
Rose showed him the photograph, but
he didn't recognize it. He explained
that he had such an enormous number
OF clients it was quite impossible that
he should remember them all. Many
of them he did not even see, but OBJ
tanned them engagements by cores
p%ondence. However, if she would
leave the photograph with him he
would make inquiries, and he might be
able to let her know something. She
might call again in 4 day or two if she
liked.
Mrs. Smedley allowed a week to
pass, and then she called upon the
agent again. The clerk took In her
name and came back with the answer
that Mr. was very busy, would she
kindly excuse him not seeing her. He
had no information to give her?
Rose was disappointed. although she
had hardly hoped for anything better.
THANK yOu," she said, I'm sorry to
have given Mr. so much trouble.
Will you kindly ask him to let me have
the photograph l left with him."
The clerk went into the private
room, and presently returned with a
photograph which he handed to Rose.
Rose was just going when the agent
came hastily out Of his room.
II beg your pardon" he said, but
I've given you the wrong photograph"
"Oh no. replied Rose, this Is the
one I left"
The agent looked at it.

IL Is well known how difficult it is to

OF rejecting their yellow color on to

Welghty objection is that they lose the

metals as soon as they are used as the

No Danger of a Salt Famine.

According to a computation Of the
Berg und Huettenmaennische Zeitung,
the amount of salt in the sen waters Of
the globe, il extracted, would be great
er in mass than the lard, SO far as it
appears above the surface. The seas,
1t says, cover 73 per cent Of the earth's
surface, estimated at 9,26O, coo Ger
MANI square miles. The percentage Of
chlornatrium in the sea is the same at
all depths. Assuming that the average
depth OF the sea is a half German)
mile, there are then 100000 cubic
miles Of sea water. A cubic mile of
sea water contains, on the average,
about twenty-five Kilograms of salt.
The 100000 cubic miles of sea water
would, therefore, contain $1,000 cubic
miles OF distilled pure salt.
