ALREADY ENACTED.

Upon information obtained, which
we thought was correct, the editors
of the JOURNAL last week stated
that it would require a special en-.
actmens of the Legislature, for the
Ordinary to comply with the recon-
mendations of two grand juries, to
levy tax TO supplement the public
school fund.-. and the people would
have to vote upon it, before it could
become law. This act is already
in existence and applicable to every
county in the State, we are glad to
know, and all that will be necessary
is for the Ordinary to call an cleo
ton and for the people to adopt it,
when it can be Immediately put in
operation.
In the educational column we
publish the act, and we hope the
people will be. impressed with the
great importance of voting for it,
when the Ordinary gives them the
opportunity. 1t will greatly facili-
tate matters and equip more effic.
iently the common schools of the
county for doing good service.

HOPES VS.. DESpONDENCY.

A hopeful disposition is an mex.
haustible fortune. The ability to
look on the bright side is worth
more chan talents, or genius, OF
wealth. He who persists in pierc.
ing the darkest clouds to find thei,
silver lining, will always have the
sunshine in his soul. Some people
find God everywhere, and are con.
tent; others find him nowhere. and
are sad and respondent. It iss a
cross to meet some people. They
have a graveyard air about them.
There is melancholy in their tones
and apprehension in their faces.
They always tell you just the things
you do not want to hear.
They take all the courage out OF
you and leave you disheartened.
They see reasons for Encouragement
IN what everybody else deems pros
porous. To them the only good
times are those that are past and
while others are on the radiant MILL
top, joyously, hopefully, lovingly
serving God, and their generation,
they are down in the valley among
the tombs. 1t takes many a day
and many a prayer to rid ones self
of the chilling effect of contact with
these prophets OF evil. 1t is some
times said that such persons are to
be pitied, but we say they are rather
to be blamed.
We have no right to allow an un-
fortunate temperament, or ill health,
or personal mishaps and unhappy
conditions to cast shadow wher-
ever we 60. Our business in the
world is to do good, to give Joy, to
inspire hope. Every word, every
look, every act, ought to be finger
pointing upward to sunshine and to
God. Our presence ought to be like
the springtime, calling out the fow>
ers and the music, unlocking the
streams and painting the hues of
promise in earth and sky.

TIE law passed by the last Con-
gress in its closing days, requiring
all railways to adopt automatic car
couplers on all their cars, will entail
very large expenditure of money
by the railways, 'Chauncey M. De-
pew, President Of the New York
Central, SAID that there were be-
tween 100000 and 100000 cars
in the country, and that the equip
ping of a single car with automatic
couplers cost about $40. The total
expenditure Of the roads with this
single item, therefore, would be
about s50,0O0,000. Automatic cou,
piers have, however, already .been
accepted.

In an interview with Thomas E.
VIM, the Peoples party ex-con-
gresham from the Ninth Georgia
district, he said that there is room
for only two great parties, and says
that if the Democrats carry out il
good faith their platform the Peo-
pies party will give them full credit
and act accordingly. Thomas E.
Watson, the most notable third party
leader in Georgia, takes the same
position, saying that if the pledges
made by the Democratic party in
their national platform on which
the party won, are carried out, the
people ought to be satisfied. The
announcement of these. interviews
is received with considerable inter
est, indicating that the third party
in the South will rapidly go opieces
if the Democratic party stands
squarely on its platform.-Atlant,

SOME of the clergymen in New
York have adopted the pls of illus.
trating their Sunday sermons with
stereopticon views. Last Sunday
one clergyman preached 90 Christ
passing through Samaria, and he
used the stereopticon to show all
the interesting scenes of that coun-
try including Jacobs tower, the
interior and exterior views of Jacobs
tomb and picture of Jesus talking
with the Samaritan woman at the
we'll. This clergyman says that his
coDgre cations number 500 and 800,
where ne had less than 100 before
he instituted this new departure.
Perhaps here is the long sought for
scheme for filling up the churches.

The Tools of the Egyptians.

The ancient Egyptians Lad tools for stone
working equal TO anything in use today.
They used both solid and tubular drills and
straight and circular saws. The drills were
set with jewels, probably corundum, and
even lathe tools had such cutting edges.
So remarkably was the quality of the tubu-
lar drills, it is said, and the skill of the
workmen, that the cutting marks in the
hard granite give no indication of the wear
of the tool, while q cut OF a tenth part Of

SANDWICH ISLAND GIRLS,
The Sort OF Happy Go-Locky Lives
They Lead.


The ladies attire themselves in the
hoioku- The warm tropical climate
makes loose, flowing gowns a neces-
sity. The young girls wear wreaths
of wild flowers around their brows
and decorate their bodies with chap
lets of green leaves They do not use
gold jewelry, but ornament their toilet
with the floral beauty of the tropics
They are fond of outdoor life and
live most Cd the time in the groves
They sleep in hammocks under the
trees. and have their dances and
feasts in the grottoes of
the forests They have little
huts in which they dwell during
storms, but are rarely found in their
cottages except it is rainy weather.
They build grass-thatched houses and
cover their roofs with rushes and
have wide porches in front of their
doors to keep of the heat of the sun
They like to be near the sea, so they
can battle in the waters of the ocean.
They become expert surf riders and
can scale the breakers in the widest
storms Like sea-gulls they ride the
tossing rollers and smile at the
oceans maddest winds In their little
boats they sail over the blue bosom of
the Pacific and cruise many miles
away from their island shores Their
little craft cross the channels from
Island to island and visit all the ports
in the archipelago They are not
afraid of the ocean solitudes, but are
at home on its watery wastes ana find
delight in its expanse Of blue.
