THE SMYRNA TIMES.
SMYRNA, DeI.,
Wednesday Afternoon, July %, 1894
Short, Sharp and Snappy.


The government statistical sharps knew
how to give themselves the benefit of every
doubt. Their estimate is that the income
tax will produce a revenue of from Sl2, ,000-
600 to S39, ,000 600, which is about as exact
as sending up a balloon and predicting that
it will come down between Maine and
Texas.
The ideal country would be that in which
no man tries or expects to get something
for nothing; but in as much as there amt
no sich place, >, the next best place is where
the people are all too smart to exchange
something for nothing. The latter place
hasn't yet been located.
Our Methodist brother is right. The
country and the people would be better of
and everybody happier if the 5000, 900
spent annually in the U. S. for intoxicating
liquor was used to buy railroads.
There are a good many people in this
country whose attention ought to be called
to the present low price of steerage passage
from New York to Europe-$9.64
Ex-Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, is finding the
the practice of law more profitable thar

He is said to be making more money thar

In two Of the beer saloons on the
east side of New York, there are two
small crystal bottles which contain not
liquors of any kind, but a dry, powdered
substance. When one of the saloon
keepers was asked, "What is that in
the bottle ?" be replied the remains of
man, the ashes of friend of mine,
who was cremated ~ Once in a while
the bottle is taken from the shelf on
which it stands and placed in the cen
ire of a table at which beer is served to
people once acquainted with the de-
ceased man, who talk Of his virtues and
give "reminiscences of his life.

The complicated French systeD Of
measurements now used by the police
of this country as of France will have
a setback now that the English Gov.

simply of taking an impression Of the

TIMES Too HARD To DIE.-The
Spring City Sun has a good laugh for
its readers. Last week the following
joke on the doctors appeared in that
paper: "There is trouble among the
undertakers of Sunbury, Pa, who com.
plain of bard times and say that the
people of that town have quit dying
One fellow is of the opinion that The
people have less money to spend on in
digestible luxuries, and for this reason
they are healthier, while another lay
the blame to the doctors, claiming tha
they are not working as hard as usua

Something Unusual,

AS medicine, Is DR., Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. And be,
cause of that, there's something mn
usual in the way of fsellingit. Where
every other medicine of its kind
only promise, this is guaranteed. Ii
it ever fails to benefit or cure, you
have your money back.
It's the only guaranteed remedy
for every disease caused by a dis
ordered liver or impure blood.
Dyspepsia, Billousness, the most
stubborn Skin, Scalp and Scrofulous
affections, even Consumption (or
Lung Scrofula) in its earlier stages,
are all cured by it.
Ii rurifies and enr;ches the blood,
rouses every organ into healthfu!
action. and restores strength and
yigor. In building up both flesh and
strength of pale, puny Scrofulous
children, or to invigorate and brace
up the system after Grippe, "pneu.
monia, fevers and other prostrating
acute diseases, nothing can equal
the ..Discovery."

Rubies the Most Costly Gems.

Rubies are now the most expen.
'sive kind of jewel, and a very wealthy
man said the other day that he was
going to buy his wife a set of rubies,
as he wanted some investment 70,
his money and was sick of land.
In respect of jewels men are as ex.
travagant as women. A cigarette
case recently made to order for a
wealthy clubman was of oxidized
steel and stubbed with diamonds Of
the first water. The cost of this toy
was eight hundred dollars; and yet
men laugh at women who baye dia-
monds inserted in the lace of their
fans, where they are certainly more
appropriate than in cigarette cases.
Nor does this extravaganza stop at
trifies that can be carried on the
person of the sterner sex.
There is q well-kncwn young Lon
don exquisite" who is the happy
possessor of shaggy Irish terrier
called Tim, and around the little an
imal's bristly neck is gold collar

and the young mans crest and
monogram similarly executed.

Opening a watch case with knife
or fngernail is needless in our day.
The Keystone Watch Case Company,
of Philadelphia, Pa, furnishes free a.
handsome watch case opener which
makes, besides, pretty charm for
the watch chain. If YOU can't get
one frcm your jeweler, send to Phil
adelphia. This Company is the
largest of its kind in the world, and
makes all kinds of cases. speciality is
the Boss filled case. Jas. Boss i'll
vented and made the first filled case
in 1856, and many Of the eases then
made and worn since are still intact.
Later the Boss patents passed into the
hands of the Keystone Company, which
has the sole right to make these cases.
1t has also the sole right to use on its
cases the patent Non-pull-out bow or
RAG, which prevents loss of the
vach by t'4cf or injury to it by ac-
c.dent. The keystone Company does
net retail, but all jewellers sell the
Boss and others keystone cases.

WHITE ANTS.
The Silent Destroyer Described by Prof
:. ID. Keli:cott. Department OF Zoology,
Chic State University.

=. ID. Keli.cott. Department OF Zoology,
Chic State University.
= =
Most people know much about the
white ant of Africa and South America;
travellers and naturalists have repeat
edly given us full accounts of their
communal habits, their usefulness in
tropical countries, and their great de-
structiveness Fewer people know
that in eastern North America, espec-
tally south, there is an indigenous spe-
cies, Termes fdripes, the habits of which
are similar to its cogenus and that IS
quite capable of doing great injury to
the farmer, the gardner and the house
holder. There are many recorded in
stances of its serious work in destroy
ing sugar cane, orange trees, plants in
the green house, vines in graperies,
shade and ornamental trees, timbers of
buildings, fences, and books in libra
ries An instance has recently come to
the writer's notice where sound oak
and yellow pine timbers supporting
machinery had been attacked and ut
terly ruined. This was in the Electro
cal building of the State university;
the building is new, of brick, with ce-
ment floor, yet those creatures gained
entrance, and carried on their nefarious
work, unknown and unsupported, until
the structures were liable to give way
under the strain of weight Their Pc
culiar methods of work, that is, to al
ways cover their roadways, and always
to destroy from within, render them
all the more dangerous. They can not
endure the light; their deeds are evil
The termites are popularity known as
ants, but they are not true ants; in
fact they are as far removed as possi-
BILE. True ants belong to the order to
which bees and wasps belong, the high
est in the series; the white ants to the
lowest winged order, that to which the
dragon-hies and may-flies belong. They
are doubtless called ants for several
reasons; they resemble ants in form,
they live in communities; there are
forms or casts as in true ants; for ex-
ample, males and females, workers and
soldiers, the first two only having
wings and these for Z short period of
fight in early summer.
How shall danger from them be
averted? First of all, destroy as far as
possible, whatever piece of furniture
or timber they may intest If this is
not practical try hot water, bisulphide
of carbon, etc, and try it thoroughly.
Prevention is the most satisfactory
method after all. Their natural home
is in old stumps, in decaying wood and
the like There should not be such
along old fence rows or in neglected
corners about farm or garden. But the
country is getting too narrow for them;
they are taking to the city. Besides
such instances as the one cited in the
Electrical building, there may be men
toned case reported last year by Mr..
Joubel in Harlem, N. Y, where dwell
ing-houses are settling on their founda.
tions as the termites destroy the tim
bers, or an instance cited by DIR. Hagen
of Boston, where one floor of dwell
ing-house fell to the floor below owing
to destruction of supports b. this silent
pest

Where Snow Is Red.


Snow is sometimes found in Polar
and Alpine regions, where it lies un-
melted from year to year, and the
annual fall is small, colored red by
the presence of innumerable small
red plants.
In its native state the plant con-
sists of brilliant red globules on a
gelatinous mass.
Red snow was observed by the
ancients, q passage in Aristotle re-
ferring to it, but it attracted little
or no attention until 1850, when
Sanssure observed it in the Alps,
and concluded that it was due to the
pollen of plant.
1t was also noticed by the arctic
expedition under Capt. Ross on
Baffin's bay shore on a range of
cliffs, the red color penetrating to o
depth of twelve feet.
Less frequent is green growth
on snow.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Herba rum of Ohio PIacta,

Vi oHiO
A fair beginning of a state herba-
rum, or collection of the native and
naturalized plants of the state, is now
to be found in the botanical depart
ment of the Ohio State University, and
is open to the inspection of all persons
interested
Especial efforts are being made to
and contributions are solicited from
pupils, students, teachers, and others
interested in botany. 1t should show
fully the distribution of every species
of plant throughout the state, and
every variation that might be due to lo-
cation, character of soil, or other
causes.
Monstrosities or abnormal specimens
are desired whenever they occur; they
are often very interesting and instruct
i've. New species are finding their way
into the state, and others are being ex-
Terminated. Specimens with labels at
tached, giving locality and date (also
collectors name), both now, but espe-
cially in the distant future, will be of
great interest and value.
The hebarium includes not only the
Towering plants and ferns, with their
allies, but also moses, 1iverworts, lich-
ems, fungi and algae. Comparatively
few of the specimens represent remote
portions of the state, and persons living
in the distant or border counties could
make very acceptable contributions
Printed directions for collecting and
drying specimens will, on application,
be sent gratis by Prof. w. A, Keller
man.
The alpha beticaI index to the herba-
rum is on cards, there being a separate
card for each species Or variety. Each
card has an outline county map of the
state, and a mark properly placed indi-
Gates the locality from which each Of
the herbarium specimens was obtained.
This card index shows at a glance not
only the number and locality OF the
specimens in that her barium, but also
ct the same time the distribution CT
the plants over the state.

Various Grades of Salt.
There isan old boarding-house Joke
to the effect that chronic grumbler on
leaving once said to his landlady that
she provided her boarders with the
very best salt he had ever tasted
This was supposed to be funny, but as
3 matter of fact there is as much differ
ence between different grades of salt
as between different grades of sugar
Because salt is nearly as cheap as sand,
people are apt to consider that it is of
very little Importance anyhow, but the
trade in it is a very extensive one, al
though it does not yield much profit,
This universal condiment can be
bleached and prepared for the table SO
Rs to make it quite ornamental as well
as useful, or it can be served up in a
shape unpleasant to the eye and almost
imperceptible to the taste.-St Louis
