Kelly Says:


Everyone would live to be hundred If
they only took more pains In selecting
what they eat. There is no wealth but
life. That country is rich which nourishes
the greatest number of human beings
That man is the richest who perfects the
functions of his own life to the utmost.
Health is mans birthright. 1t is as natural
to be we'll as to be born. All diseases and
all tendencies to disease are the result of
eating food never intended for the human
family. A break down in health Is caused
more by errors in diet than all other causes
put together. Errors in diet are of two
general classes. First, the use of food
unsuited to the organism; second, the par
taking of food in quantities greatly in ex
cess Of the needs of the system It is
we'll known fact that nine-tenths of the
people in this country are suffering from
some unknown complaint or disease. Now
what causes this trouble? Is it caused by
| the lack of some nourishment in the food
that we use . For an illustration: It was
intended by nature that your teeth should
last as long as your life, but to the CON
trary we find the nine-tenths of the people
loses their teeth before one third OF their
life is spent, and when you lose your teeth
you lose two thirds OF your digestion Or
canism, and this is the basis of all our
trouble. Now, how can we remedy this .
The best authority says: If you will feed
yourself and children on Entire Wheat
Flour you will get all the bone and muscle
Qualities which nature intended we should
Use the genuine Entire Wheat Bread made
.by KELLY only, at least once q day, and
YOU will soon get over that tired feeling.
$3.50 will buy a barrel of Pillsbury's
Best and other brands of Flour, If you will

A E A
To Catch n Bali Dropped from n Height
of Five Hundred Feet.

A few years ago-in 1884, l believe
several well-known baseball players at
tempted the impossible feat of catching
and holding n regulation Spalding
dropped from the top of Washington's
monument, says the st. Louis, Republic.
The experiment was tried by Trott,
Hines, Baker, Snyder and several lesser
lights in the fraternity, but none of
them succeeded in holding it or even
materially checking it's progress to the
ground. The men named above were
all experts Mt their trades, but it is evil
dent that they gave their sports more
attention than they did their philoso-
ply during their school days, otherwise
they would have known that a body
dropped from such a height would be
travelling with a speed of 1877 feet per
second at the time of its contact with
the earth. The rcason why no living
man could catch and hold n ball travel
ing with such velocity in plain enough
by making some hasty comparisons:
The greatest distance Il ball has ever
been thrown is 1915 yards 1 foo and 4
inch. The longest shit" on record is n
few inches over 200 yards. In this last
instance the ball was sent into the air
at On anglo of forty-five degrees. Now,
mind this: Allowing the same ball to
have been hit in the same direction at
the same angle, with sufficient force to
give it the velocity at the starting
point that it would acquire in falling
in falling from n height Of 555 feet, it
would have gone 544 yards instead of a
bare fraction over 200 yards. And then,
even think Of trying to catch n ball the
instant it leaves the bat on n 200 yards
trip! Ouch! Is it any wonder that the
boys let the ball slip through their fin
gers when it was on the ''home stretch
after having fallen from the apex Of the
memorial to the father of his country?

Then the king, disguised, unknown
Stood before his sculptured name,
Musing meekly, "What is fameH

Struck with palsy. sere and old,
Waiting at the Gates Of Gold,

"Life is done, but what is death?"
Then, in answer to the king,

An Explanation OF F1orlda's Curious Spider.
Web Kahn.

An E~1pianaeio OF F1orlda's Curious Spider
Web tain.
A Subscriber living in Gainesville.
Fla, sends to the Scientific American
for Identification a white t~hread-ike
substance which he states fell to the
earth in largo quantities during n rain
on September 90. A sample of the ma
terial had already been forwarded by
another person to the Smithsonian in
%stitution and was thence sent to DR..
George Marx, OF the department of ag-
riculture, who makes the following re-
port:
1.-THE sample of q white substance
which fell in large quantities in Gaines
Vile, Fla, has been handed me by the
botanist of this department for eXami-
nation.
This very interesting material is
without doubt a product of the spinning
glands of n spider, or rather thousands
OF spiders. The chemical reagencies
prove it is not n vegetable matter, but
animal, and the fact that strands can be
dissolved almost infinitely into minute
threads, and further, the great length
of the strands, hundreds of yards,
causes the inference that only a spider
could manufacture it.
1.-THE species of this spider is unknown
to me, but it is not improbable that it
might be u Ncphila, a very large orb
weaver, which aboundS in the southern
part of the United States and the West
Indies.
1.-The young spiders of many genera
avail themselves of their spinning
products to migrate from their birth
place by floating through the air to
localities at q great distance. Should
rain moisten these meanings, the spider
web becomes too heavy to float in the
air, and sticking together in great
masses, falls from above.
"a similar occurrence was reported to
me from Vallicita, Calaversa county,
Cal, November 10, 1891. 1t has oc.
cured there for the last four years in
October and November"
This is the first time this phenome-
non has occurred in the south. The
web is perfectly white and appears tc
be a mixture of silk and cotton, but
mostly silk.

A billion spent in educating the South and
induing it with common sense would be a
good investment, toO.-New York Morning
Advertiser.
The Advertiser is wrong at heart, this
time. 1t blunders. If a billion dollars
were spent in educating the South, the
republican black man would perhaps be
better off. But this hue and cry against
the white mans ignorance is nothing
for the northern press to magnify. 1t is
true that the white men Of the South,
collectively, are not CUP in the books,
but then they are coming The major
ity Of our white people are as wise, are
as learned, are as we'll educated as the
northern people. There are some noun
taineers who are not linguists-as indeed
some few might be found at the North.
This howl against the ignorance of the
South is unjust, cruel and misleading.
The negroes, cvc are being %schooled,
and the next generation will be a gener-
alton Of reading and thinking people.
The Advertiser, in its zeal to write re.
publican slush, becomes brutal and dis
honest. 1t may not know the facts
hence we point them out, and kindly
caution moderation:

We admit that any individual or any firm

We are glad to know that the scales
have fallen from RAMsEY's eyes. We re.
jo!ce to see him make an honest confess
sion-professionally. The tobacco trust
pays to-day more for cutters than it did
before the so called trust" came into
existence. Never in its history has it
injured its employees, but on the other
hand it has given employment to thou.

work. The trust has cheapened the pro-
duct and lis manufactured goods are

And SO, The Professional Farmer adj
mits that the tobacco trust is a good

feet right TO reduce expenses by combin-
ing. This is a frank statement from the

Tile FASTER AND CUTTER.

The ill-will and the paster and cutter
of the State Chronicle was sold at public
auction at Raleigh yesterday. 1t was the
battered wreck which joe daniels made.
Farmer joe, with a yearning for his paster
and cutter, bought that in for S4OO. This
included some old type and office furni.
ture. The Raleigh Paper company bought
the ill-will and subscription books for
$1,000. This was steep, but as it had
been announced that the Raleigh Paper
company held a claim for about that sum
against The Chronicle for material furn-
ished, HOLDING perhaps thought the i'll.
will was better than nothing.
But what a change! On that bright
morning of June ?, 1891-not yet two
years ago, when joe's flash press, as he
called it, produced the bob tailed and de-
formed p~aper-joe promised so many
things.
But his W language is perhaps better
to tell the story. He said in about three
columns of editorial slush the following
we nave " CO1Uculcu OuISSINeS WIFI d new
summer dress and the adoption of the modern
style of journalism. They are merely the out
ward appearances, and may serve to attract.
They cannot gain and hold the confidence of
the public. A beautiful girl in a stylish and
airy June costume may attract and please a
young man to such an extent that he thinks
himself in love at first sight. But upon longer
acquaintance. if the young woman is wanting
in those virtues of head and heart necessary
to Ommand lasting esteem and confidence,
the early impression of beauty and grace
which attracted him will fail to win from him
a lifelong admiration and devotion. In fact,
when he finds that her head IS as airy as her
fashionable costume and her heart is selfish
and centered merely upon outward show and
adOrnment, the revulsiOn of feeling that comes
over him is so great that he wonders if he was
ever attracted by her "monStrOus hats and
gairish cOlOrs.' 1t is the same with a news
paper. 1t may charm the eye by a beautiful
dress and 'gairish cOlors." But if there be
wanting stability of character, truthfulness
in news-telling, independence and honesty of
thought and expression: or its tawdry Osten-
tatiOn make up its only claim to wide support
and confidence. the wise general public will
withhold its confidence and patronage.
And so it is and so it was. daniels
played double with the democratic party;
he crawled on his stomach before the
third party people he got his mouth on
the public teat as state printer again, but
all that was nothing. The "wise general
public" withheld its confidence appar-
emily, and the junk was sold at auction
and many creditors were bidding. The
"beautiful costume was all "gairish
colors." The newspaper was a fraud
and according to the News and Observer
the outfit sold ridiculously cheap-as
junk. Poor thing

vile, KY, a place which essentially be-
longs to democrats, because of the ex-
celent quality and unmeasured quantity
Of rye liquor which is there, aud pass
resolutions sympathizing with the poor
man demanding woman suffrage and
all such monumental idiocy is beyond
conception.
The republican party, like the old dem
ocratic party, is filled with fraud and
corruption. The old raft is floating sea
ward, loaded with ship-wrecked mariners
and pirates-but why the crowd should
break out in Christmas carols on the
Fourth of July is not explained. The
present administration is before the peo-
pie. The democratic party is now pas
sing for review, and if that party meets
the wants of the masses; if it fulflls its
promises and redeems its pledges, all the
meaningless rot of national republican
clubs falls without making its own echo.
If the democratic party proves recreant
to its trust, then a new party, new men
and new principles will come before the
American people and find a welcome.
The republican party, with an indellible
record of pelf and plumber, is a decayed
egg. 1t will bear no fruit-it can hatch
no chickens.
