Heavy dumbbells do more harm than

and development is motion, not strain, and
motion can be just as effectively secured
with one pound as with 10 pound bell.

on the muscles, but on the heart and lungs
also, and persons who are not accustomed

In the case of the sun we can see, with
the aid Of the spectroscOpe, in about what
order some of the constituents of its shell
are placed, but we can only scratch the sur
face of the earth. and we know by direct
observation far less of the order in which
the deeper parts of its crust are laid down.
Here, however, the study of the sun comes
in to help us in the study of the earth.
On the sun metallic elements abound un.
derneath the lighter substances forming
the upper or outer portions of its incandes-
cent shell. There is reason to think that a
similar order prevails in the crust of the
earth, and that deep down beneath the sur
face, if we could penetrate there, we should
find much larger proportion of the heav-
Ter metals than we find near the surface

COTTON LETTER
Furnished by c. P, Dyal x Co.,. Broker
 and Commisson Merchants.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Dec. 21.-Spot sales in Liverpool for the past few days have been above the aver age previously established, the in- creased purchase being due to antici- patton of the protracted holidays during which cotton markets will be closed while the mills continue run- ming. Sales in Liverpool today l2,- GOO. but at decline of 1-3S. Deliver ies declined l to ? points. Our open ing was steady enough at decline oi couple of points, but hefrequent pre- diction of decided falling off in the
 movement have been sostrongly con-
 tradicted by the figures of receipts
 that longs continue to unload their
 holdings and prices here close to s under yesterday. Spots were
 quoted 1-16 lower, sales by factors be-
 ing 800 and 2,550 were sold to ar
 rive. 1t is claimed that purchases can be made at 1-16 below today s re- duced quotations Port receipts were fully up to all predictions and far ahead of expectations at the be- ginning of the week The total amount brought into sight for the week was also pleasant surprise,
 being 4s2, ,0OO against 375,0O0 in the big crop year Last week it will be remembered the movement was 43o,-
 900 so that instead of q decline, this week shows gain of 47,0o0 bales. All these developments tend to weaken the faith of the bulls in the oft predicted improvement and their disappointment caused them to sell
 out their holdings which has brought labout the decline noted today.

JUST LIKE YOUNG FOLKS.
4 Mature Indiana Couple Get a Lot of
 Fun Out of an Elopement.


 Yesterday afternoon among the wait ing passengers at the Union station, pae- ing about nervously in the east waiting room, could have been seen an old man. At times he would walk out into the main hall and to the north entrance to look, as if with anxious expectation, out into Jackson place. He was nerv- ous, and he was evidently looking for somebody.
 After half hours interval a smile evidently of satisfaction, stole over his countenance as lady, apparently we'll advanced in years, came into the sta ton. She carried small grip, of which the old man was swift to relieve her. He accompanied her to the ladies wait ing room, saw her comfortably seated and then went immediately to the tick ct window, looked at his watch and asked the agent as to the time when the next train would go out over the Lake Erie and Western. As soon as that train was called the aged gentleman beckon- ed at the door of the ladies' room and started for the train sheds, followed by bil0 lsttly WuO hau plONioun1J iiiOu htiii. They took the train and rode as far as Noblesville, where they got off and pro eeeded to the courthouse, where at the clerk office the gentleman procured a marriage license. Later in the evening Mayor Wilson was summoned to the hotel, and there he married the couple in the presence of witnesses.
 The groom was Amos Sherwood, aged 77 years; the bride. Louise Ewald, 57 years old Both have resided for long time in North Indianapolis, where they have many friends and are well known throughout the village and it's surround ings. They desired to get married and took the course described in order to offset such obstacles as might have been thrown in their way if they had at tempted to have wedding at home. They entered into the spirit of the elopement with all the zest of youth. Indianapolis Sentinel.

 The face of the clock must be 27 feet in diameter, and hand 13 feet inches in length would weigh close on to half a ton, and yet must move with unerring accuracy. No one yet knows who will have the honor of constructing this great mechanism, but sentiment among the commissioners favors American manufacture if it can be done in this country.

BETWEEN FATHER AND SON.

We have great deal to say IN our
literature about the confidence that
should exist between mother and her
daughter, but we ignore altogether too
much the frankness that should exist
between a father and son. 1t is not
right to expect that our girls shall bear
the whole burden of moral responsible
ity. Our boys must be taught that the
world expects uprightness in man just
as much as it looks for it in woman.
If the men Of today are protected by an
unfair moral discrimination, that is no
reason why the men of tomorrow
should be so sheltered. If it is for
women to elevate their conception OF
the moral standard for men, it is for
the young men of today to adjust them
selves to that higher measurement. A
healthy frankness between the boys OF
today and their fathers is the first step
This is mans part in the aim tor SOcla

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

1t is strange how reluctant young
men are to accept, as the most vital
truth in life, that the most absolute
honesty is the only kind of honesty,
that succeeds in business. 1t isn't
question of religion or religious beliefs.
Honesty does not depend upon any re-
ligious creed or dogma that was ever
conceived. 1t is a question of a young
mans own conscience. He knows
what is right and what is wrong. And
yet, simple as the mattar is, it is aston
ishing how difficult it is of understand
ing. An honest course in business
seems too slow to the average young
man. II can't afford to plod along, l
must strike and strike quickly" is the
sentiment. All, yes, my friend, but
not dishonesty. No young man can
afford to even think of dishonesty.
Success on honorable lines may some
times seem slower in coming, but when
it does come it outrivals in permanency
all the so called successes gained by
other methods. To look at the meth
ods of others is alWaysa a mistake. The
successes of today are not given to the
imitatOr but to the originator. 1t
makes no difference how other men
may succeed-their successes is theirs
and not yours. You cannot partake of
it, Every man is law unto himself,
The most absolute integrity is the one
and the only sure foundation of sue
cess. Such success is lasting. Other
, kinds of successes may seem so, but it
is all in the seeming and not in the re-
, ality. Let a young man swerve from
the path of honesty and it will surprise
him how quickly every avenue of a
, lasting success is closed against him.
Making money dishonesty is the most
, difficult thing to accomplish in the
: world, just as lying is the practice most
wearing to the mind. 1t is the young
l man of uuquestioned integrity who is
e selected for the important position.
! No business man ever places his busi-
4 ness in the hands of a young man
: whom he feels he cannot absolutely
t trust. And to be trusted means to be
n honest Honesty. and that alone
! commands confidence. An honest life
we'll directed, is the only life for a
young man to lead. 1t is the one life
that is compatible with the largest and
o surest business success.-EdWard w

HONESTY IN BUSINESS.

InexOrable statistics show that for
the last half century, out of one hum
dred business men, ninety-eight failed.
Out of these ninety-eight l am not
willing to admit that more than ten
failed discreditable to their moral
character. When I hear that man
has been obliged to compromise with
his creditors, or that the sheriff has
shut up his store, it excites in me no
more suspicious about his character
than if 1 had been told that he was
down with typhoid or apoplexy. 1t is
high time in this country that we

EASY TO CONDEMN.
Absolute Innocence Does Not Always
Affect The Case.

Absolute Innocence Does Not Always
Affect The Case.
The ease with which an innocent per-
son can be condemned was never better
shown than in the experience of one
young housewife who employed SER
want who had been at work for neigh
Dor. The girl came from a family
which was not too well blessed with
this worlds goods, and in taking service
she told why she had left her former
place. A ring had been missed and
search of the house failed to locate it.
Who better to saddle the blame on
than the servant, who was the only
one outside of the family who had the
full run Of the house? The girl was
charged with the theft, and with tears
and protestations she denied any knowl-
edge of the whereabouts of the ring.
She was told that she must give up the
ring or quit the service, the mistress
magnanimously offering not to prose-
cute her. The girl was thunderstruck
She gave her word that she had not
taken the ring, but in spite OF that, she
was obliged to go.
She had hardly been settled in her
new place when her former employer
went to her neighbor and told of the
supposed theft of the ring. The new
mistress was taken with the girl, partly
because Of the frank way in which she
explained the reason she left the old
place. The children of her former
mistress were great friends of hers and
did not fail to make her daily visits.
One day one of the children ran to her
and told her that the ring had been
found in one of his mothers old dresses,
where it had been placed by her, some
time before The mother, however,
failed to apologize to the girl whose life
she came so near running nor did she
tell her neighbor that the ring had been
: found.-ButfalO Express.

SECTIONAL PREJUDICE IN THE
SOUTH.
Issues of the Late War are no Longer
Visible, They Have Passed Away For

Slowly the embers Of sectional lines
between the north and south are be-
coming obliterated. There was day
in the past when sensational papers
contained whole columns of flaming
matter purportlng to be true state
ments of Outrages committed i'll the
south, but thanks to the intelligence
of the American people such reports
are given but little credence today.
1t is true that the political demagOgue
in the south, as well as in the north,
now and then in his flights of imagi
nation attacks without reserve his fel-
low man from the opposite section,
but his words are seldom heard except
in vibration, by reply of some of the
same specie in another locality. OF
cruel wars we have recorded in history
civil strife, in all ages it has awakened
more of the demon in man. 1t is a
noticeable fact when close friends, or
relations fall out, they make the most
dangerous enemies. Such was the case
in 1860, brother against brother, father
against son, fought with desperation
seldom eQualled. 1t is but human ma
ture for a southern man to think his
side was in the right, and the northern
man to know that his side was right,
because it came out all right Kind
and gentle language will do far more
to convince q man of an error than
harsh criticism. Unfortunately poll
ticians seized upon the opportunity tC
make capital Of the peoples mlsfort
unes and have worked it for all it was
worth. 1t matters but little which
side was wrong in our late civil war
each have shown by their valor upOr
many battle fields that honestly guided
their action, that opinions reached con
victions, and for those convictions they
were willing to risk life itself. TIC
question the motives of so large mum
ber of our fellow men, shows upon its
face that in our conceit we grant but
little difference of opinion. 1t is true
were we to go down in Georgia and ex
tOl the virtues of Sherman'S march t
the sea, we would awaken the resent
ment of people who have suffered b
the enforcement. In times of wa
however, exigencies arose which i
other times would be classed as barba
