Don't Get Drunk in the Forenoon

1t Is not in good form to get drunk in the
forenoon. Well bred people wait until the
evening TO get full Of wine. Even in the old
en- times 1t was considered reproach or a
blot on ones geitility to get drunk in the
forenoon, and Peter on one occasion defended
his friends from such imputation. In reply
10 the charge that "these men are full of new
wine," he said:
"For these are not drunken, as we suppose,
seeing 1t is but the third hour OF the day"
Peter couldn't believe that his genteel
friends would get drunk in the forenoon,
though he did not pretend to say what they
would do in the evening.

DIR. POpe's Strength.

DR.. Pope still raves about his defeat for Gov
ernor, and it may be that he honestly believes
that he had some strength before the people,
The figures on their face indicate that he had.
But If we go beneath the surface ana LOOK
for the facts, wei believe it will be found that
he had, OF himself, almost no strength at ALL
He represented the anti-dispensary element,
or, possibly more correctly speaking, he ran
in opposition to the dispensary- law. That
was a declared principle in his platform. ana
any other man would have likely received
the same vote that he did, II he had run as
DR.. Pope did, in opposition to the dispenSary
law.
A hasty glance at the tabulated vote of the
counties, we think, proves beyond the shad-
ow of doubt that DR.. Pope's following was
from among the opponents OF the dlspehsary.
Where the opposition to the dispensary was
most pronounced, he received his largest Hote.
Turn to the figures which appear In another
part of this paper, and satisfy yourself
See Charleston, Greenville, Richland, Spar
tanburg. These four counties, or cities, gave
DIR, Pope about one-third Of all the votes that
he received.
But, as a matter of course the dispensary

that they gave expression to that opposition
by voting for DR.. Pope. Others voted for Dr.
Pope for various reasons.
Taking the election returns as a whole, IL
was q great victory for the dspensary. Inc
anti-dispensary candida was defeated by
majority Of over twenty thousand-being
about double the majority which the prohioi-
tionists polled over the license system at the
previous election.
DR.. Pope's signal defeat when running on
the dispensary question, indicates that the
dispensary is strong with the people.
While DR.. Pope has following which is
strong and powerful, yet the law has the ap-
proval Of the people, and it will stand.

A Curious Phenomenon,

A most curious phenomenon-thea action
of solids held in suspension in moving wa.
ter-may be practically demonstrated, says
NJ. Gallois, by taking "A bottle of white
glass, about 8 inches in diameter and with
a f1atbottom, putting into it to the depth
of about one-tlfth inch some fine and very
clean silicious sand, such as will not inter.
fere with the transparency of the water
filling the bottle with this and corking il
so as to exclude all air. On giving the bot
tie a rapid movement of rotation around its
own axis, either by placing it on turn.
table or by suspending it from previously
well twisted cord, all the sand will be pro.
jected upon the cylindrical sides of the bot.
tie by centrifugal force
This rotation movement of the bottle
will gradually communicate itself to the
water, progressing from the sides to the
axis, the rotation lasting as long as the
sand adheres to the cylinder. AS soon as
the water turns with the same velocity as
the bottle containing it, the sand will, on
the bottle being suddenly stopped, at once
quit the sides and precipitate itself toward
the center of the bottle in the form of a
cloud, and then reassemble its particles on
the bottom in the form of cone, having
the same axis as the bottle, and being high.
er as the velocity of rotation is greater.
Finally, the cone fiattens as the velocity OF
rotation grows less, until the slope of the
conical surface is the slope of equilibrium
of grains of sand in still water.-New York

ON THE GREAT PRAlRIES.
vastness. Isolation and Monotony Reign Ia
the TreeIess Plain Stretches.

|
the TreeIess Plain Stretches.
| If there be any region in the world where
the natural gregarious instinct of mankind
should assert itself, that region is our
northwestern prairies, where short, hot
summer is followed by long, cold winter,
and where there is little in the aspect of
nature TO furnish food for thought. On ev-
cry hand the treeless plain stretches away
to the horizon line. In summer it is check
cred with grainfelds or carpeted with grass
and flowers, and it is inspiring in its color
and vastness, but one mile of it is almost
| exactly like another, save where some wa
tercourse nurtures IL fringe of willows and
cottonwoods. When the snow covers the
ground, the prospect is bleak and dispirit-
ing. No brooks babble under icy armor
There is no bird life after the wild geese and
ducks have passed on their way south. The
silence of death rests on the vast landscape
save when it is swept by cruel winds that
search out every chink and Granny of the
buildings and drive through each unguard-
ed aperture the dry, powdery snow.
In such a region you would expect the
dwellings to be of substantial construction,
but they are not. The new settler is too
poor to build of brick or stone. He hauls a
few loads of lumber from the nearest rail
way station and puts up a frail little house
of two, three or four rooms that looks as
though the prairie winds would blow it
away. Were it not for the invention of
tarred building paper the flimsy walls
would not keep out the wind and snow.
With this paper the walls are sheathed I'M
der the weatherboards The barn is often
a nondescript affair of sod walls and straw
roof. Lumber is much too dear to be used
for door yard fences, and there is no inclo-
sure about the house. A barbed wire fence
surrounds the barnyard. Rarely are there
any trees, for on the prairie trees grow very
slowly and must be nursed with care to get
start. There is a saying that you must
first get the Indian out of the soil before a
tree will grow at all, which means that
some savage quality must be taken from
the ground by cultivation.
In this cramped abode, from the windows
of which there is nothing more cheerful in
sight than the distant houses of other set
tiers, just AS ugly and lonely, and stacks of
straw and unthrashed grain, the farmers
family must live. lii the summer there is
a school for the children one, two or three
miles away, but in winter the distances
across the snow covered plains are too great
for them to travel in severe weather. The
schoolhouse is closed, and there is nothing
for them to do but to house themselves and
long for spring.-Atlantic Monthly.

Snap Shot with a Mhin.

F. M. Pitcher and A. l.. Beckwith are
two farmers who are both well known
in Americas. Tuesday they were to-
gether in a buggy coming here, and
when they were near Joe Roney's place
chicken hawk lit on the side of the
road. 'Look at that hawk" said Mr..
Beckwith. Eyes, see him." said Mr..
Pitcher. They drove on, and the hawk
didn't move. They drew nearer and
nearer and finally were almost up to the
bird. Mr.. Beckwith took up his whip
and as they reached the hawk made a
crack at it. The blow struck just right,
and the hawk was struck full in the
neck. The crack was so well made that
the full force was executed and the
head was cut clean off. The gentlemen
brought the hawk and its head to town
with them. (Ga.) Times Re-

The Colon and Its Uses.

A son of Horace Mann, who lives in Wash.
ington, has an unusual fashion of signing
all documents. He is Mr.. B: Pickman
Mann and is well known as writer Mr..
Mann is a graduate of Harvard and holds
an important position in the patent Office.
The colon which follows the first initial
would be Greek to the wayfaring man, but
it is only symbol for Benjamin. Some
years ago the American Librarian associa-
ton, of which Mr.. Mann is member. was
much exercised over some manner of alb
breviating names so as to decrease the
work of cataloguing, which in large libra
ries is enormous. They adopted list of
common names of persons which should be
abbreviated by using the first letter of the
name followed by colon. For the sake
of consistency, and believing the custom
would be good one, they adopted the fash
ion.
The late Mr.. Ben: Perley Poore, known
SO long and so favorably in Washington,
used this style long before the company of
learned librarians approved it. The list now
in use is a large one. Some of the most COM
mon signs are w: for William; II: for
Henry. and ]; for James. Washington

According to my opinion, the use of this
word as synonym of energy, vigor, ETC.,
has arisen in this way: Some pedantic jour
nalist, considering perhaps the Anglo-Sax-
on noun strength" too vulgar, and wish
ing to overawe his readers with Latin ex-
preston, chose the word wis" probably
in connection with verb governing the
accusative case, but reluctant to offend
against the sacred rules of Latin grammar
he employed the accusative vim"
This mode of expression may have been
repeated several times, and as the people
liked the sound of the word, even without
knowing what it meant, they also en-
ployed it in instances in which no accusa-
tive was required, and thus the misused
word became current expression.-Notes

The Summer Young Man.

Primarily speaking, the summer man
is not fool by any means. He is boil
ing over with business, but was never
known to have done days work i'll his
life. Fortunately he has inherited con-
siderable money and is there to add an
additional sum to that already on hand
by marrying one of those western young
women with pretty face, musical laugh
and rich father. This kind of men
generally become very corpulent as age
increases, and us good natured as well,
and why shouldn't they?-Exchange.
