To get married Miss Sarah Richcreep and
Eli Danner walked all the way from Sher
mansdale to Carlisle, Pa. The girl is not yet
81 years old, and her father walked with
her. After Clerk of the Courts Wagner
had made her bride, the plucky woman,
with her new husband and old father,
turned around and walked home. The
trip involved tramp of some 20 odd miles,
but the young people are as happy as
though coach and four had carried them
to their bliss. s.--Cor. Philadelphia Record.

Americas Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY.

Said an eminent English scientist recently:
"The danger that confronts the great Ameri-
can people to-day is not the possible adop-
tion of wrong financial policy for the
nation, or the spread of socialism, or the
increase of corruption among public men.
All these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease-I had almost said national
crime-of overwork. The mad rush for
wealth is set st killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.
You are likely to be one Of the victims |!

ton to hnd man or woman of adult age in

spreading with fearful rapidity. Among the

a. The sportsmen of Tennessee, the
Virginias, North Carolina, and Mississippi
have been protesting against the exporta.
tion of trapped quail'fro those States to
stock the depleted territory at the North
and West. As matter of fact the quail
taken from the South for this purpose
would not be missed, were it not that
the sportsmen who are making complaints
are entirely indifferent to potent sgency
which is working far greater havoc. The
negroes, whom they have it in their
power TO controlw they choose to ex,
ercise it, are far more active factors in
the decrease of quail than the trappers Of
live birds. The colored people pay no
attention whatever to the close season,
They not only kill the nesting birds, but
use the eggs for food. The young which
are hatched fall victims to their dogs, oi
which they possess o great number
These animals would not do this were
they fed by their owners and not Obliged
to forage for . subsistence. If Southerr
sportsmen desire TO preserve their quai
they must give less attention to the DRIP
at the spigot-represented BY exported
live birds-and watch the outflow at th.
bung-the result of causes within their
own control.-N Y. Sun.

az Less than fifty years ago there
was no postal system in this country.
Previous to 1847 the mail were carried
by private firms, and rates varied accord
ing to distance. Carriers often Travelled
on foot or horseback, and the progress
was slow. In 1846 some of the post offices
issued stamps of their own, called "pro-
visional issues" The adhesive stamp
was first used in this country in l847, and
prepayment was made compulsory in
1856. In 1863 the stamp containing the
head of Andrew Jackson was issued, and
from then until 1885 the style adopted
contained the pro6les of Presidents of the
United S:ates-Pubtic Opinion.

Say No.

There are times, when man in his weakness
Is tempted to stray from the right,
When the good aud the evil within him,
Are having an uneven fight;
Down deep in his heart is murmur
That tells him the right way to 60,
IT'S then he should give to the tempter
The answer emphstical,y-NO.
There souls, that for brillance, have equalled
the sun in its splendor at noon,
The world was entranced by the glory
That seemed to be theirs as q boon;
But long ere the sun of life's setting
Had covered the west with its glow
Their lives had gone out in the darkness
Because they could never ssy-NO.
Oh soul that is doubtfully swaying,
Pray listen to Whist may say;
You now can escape from the bondage
That haunts, like a demon, your way;
Look straight in the face Of the evil,
Whatever the form it may show,
And simply say without shrinking
To every allurement-NO
There are thousands of innocent pleasures
To cheer US and brighten our way,
Our conscience will never mislead US
II we al its promptings obey;
Then why should you longer be drifting
In the tides of evil that flow,
When you always may bssk in the sunshine
By saying the little word-NO.

Commencement.

Commencement is like spring in that it
is new every year, and that familiarity
with it breeds only increased appreciation.
1t grows on the participator as his years
accrue. 1t is q good day for the hopeful
youths who graduate and march at the
head of the line. It will seem good to
them next year when they come back
after twelve months separation, and
hobnob with one another over their class
punch, and presently get in line at the
very tail end of tho procession, so far of
from the band that they can scarcely
catch the music. But in ten years time
when they have moved up ten places
nearer to the band, they will find it
dearer still. Then it will have begun to
assume its true properties as the day of
all the year that brings back the youth
that is already slipping from them, by
taking them back to the scenes of their
adolescence, and rubbing them up against
the men who were young with them
when they were young. Life brings
great prizes to the diligent and the lucky.
To the average college graduate of fifteen
years standing it has brought wife and
children, q certain foothold in the world,
and a definite prospect of respectable
achievement. But it is better at bestow-
al than at repienishment. 1t brings him
new things, but it does not fit him out
with fresh supplies of the treasures that
he had. There is only one set of the
men who wereyoung when he was young,
and it cannot be duplicated.
If he is wise, and the cookies round
his heart do not get too stiff, he is very
careful of that dwindling set of sssoci.
ates and the fewer there are of them,
and the more he realizes the impossibility
of replacing them, the greater pains be
takes to go back to Commencement and
take account of stock.
A strangely impressive spectacle is the
forming Of the line of graduates that
marches to the Commencement dinner
of an old college. First comes the grad.
uating class; then the alumni by classes
in order of seniority. "Class of 1901"
cries the marshal. Perhaps there is no
response. "Class of 1921! Glass Of 1921
Glass of 1921" Presently, as his class is
reached, the oldest graduate present steps
out, venerable man, perhaps the sole
representative of his year, and takes his
place, amid the cheers of the spectators.
Then for dozen or q score of classes, as
the marshal calls the year, one or two or
four or five old men walk by, arm in arm
supporting one anothers steps. Thon as
the list gets into the forties, come gray
haired men, but vigorous, and not yet Of
the lean and slippered period. And then
in larger companies the men Of middle
age, and then the younger men, and
finally boisterous crowd two hundred
strong of lusty youth who cheer for ''92. u
A msrvellously vivid panorama of human
life is the Commencement procession, from
"Morituri sdlutamus" at one end to "Life
let US cherish" at the other. Dull must
be the spirit that is not stirred by it. And
yet it is cheering sight with all its pa
thos, so much good fellowship it shows
and sympathy, and joyous greeting when
old companions meet.-Harpers' Weekly

Mining for Hiddenite.
A Gem Accidentally Discovered that is a Valu-
able as the Diamond.


able as the Diamond.
Some years ago Edison, the electric
wizard, was convinced that platinum ex-
listed in North Carolina. He sent William
Earl Hidden, an accomplished mineralo-
gist, in search of it. Mr.. Hidden little
knew at the time how full Of results to
him that pursuit of platinum would be.
he could not find the desired mineral,
but he found something far better.
At Alexander county, . quiet part of
the State, many miles from q railway, he
was directed by Mr.. J. A. d. Stephenson
to gem bearing ground, and looking Q
little more narrowly, found some Of the
gems. He purchased some land, returned
to Edison, reported his vain quest of plat.
mum, then went back TO North Carolina.
He ct once began to develop, the mine.
Sinking shaft in q simple way, be grad.
ually made the opening larger and larger
until superfcialiy the mine presented the
aspect of q stone quarry. Out Of this
rude pit in the earth were taken unnum.
bered gems, one hitherto unknown. To
this Mr. J. Lawrence Smith, of st. Louis,
an eminent scientist, gave Hidden's name,
and "Hiddenite," the equivalent of the
diamond in value, became instantly the
fashion. Its tender. tinted green crystals,
Its intense hardness, and it's new beauties
when cut, were only some of its charms.
From the day of its discovery to the
present it has been q hopeless task to
supply the demand for it. Every Hid.
denite found is purchased long in advance.
But strange as is this flashing green
miracle of the earth, the place of its birth
is yet stranger. The laborers who are
working in the mines handle their picks
with the greatest care. They are on the
watch for pockets" Possibly for an
hour the digging goes on, and no pocket
is struck. Presently the pick goes into
an opening, with careful fingers the earth
is partially removed. and finally the
miner feels with bis hands every portion
of the walls of the opening. 1t may
happen that his search is in vain, but it
is oftener the case that his fingers touch
little crystals that are 80 embedded in the
sides of the pocket that their points alone
project outward. They are carefully
picked out. Perhaps all are beryls, per-
haps there are q dozen kinds Of gems, or
it may be that there are only Hiddenites.
Sometimes gems worth hundreds Of dol
lars are thus taken from one pocket

How Many Stars Can We sssp

The stars are not, - one might suppose,
scattered indiscriminateIy over the
heavens. A luminous belt called The
Galaxy, or Milky Way, surrounds the
heavens, nearly in great circle. 90 as to
divide the sky into two portions almost
equal. This belt is Of irregular width
and brightness For about one third of
its way it is divided into two nearly
parallel streams.
The great majority of the stars appear
to gather in and about the Milky Way,
and thus indicate to us the direction in
which the stellar system has its greatest
dimensions. Our sun, with its attendant
planets, is situated near the center Of this
disk-like space.
The total number Of stars visible to the
naked eye is about 5000, and, as We can
only see one half of the sky at once, the
greatest number visible ct one time on q
clear night is about 5000.
But, by the aid of the most powerful
telescopes, the number visible exceeds
sc, ,000, 900. Even this number is greatly
increased by the aid of photography, ss
rays of light from stars, too faint even to
be seen in the telescope, can, by long ex-
posure of sensitive chemical film, make
their existence evident.-Home Magazine.
