Wherein Nacn aud Women Differ

Man Is q creature of cast-iron
habits; woman adapts herself to
circumstances; this is the founda-
ton of the moral difference be-
tween them.
"A man docs not attempt to drive
O nail unless he has q hammer; a
woman does not hesitate to use
anything from tho hcol of a boot
to the back Of brush.
A man considers a corkscrew
absolutely necessary to open bot
tie; woman attempts to extract
the cork with tho scissors; if she
does not succeed readily, she push
es the cork into tho bottle, since
the essential thing is to got at the
fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which
man puts a razor; a woman ON
ploys 1T for chiropodist's purpose.
Whom a man writes everything
must bo in apple pie order; pom,
paper and ink must be Just SO, u
profound silence must reigu while
he accomplishos this important
function. A woman gets any shoot
of paper, tears it, perhaps, from n
book or portfolio, sharpons tho
pencil with tho scissors, puts the
paper on an old atlas, crosses hor
fcot, balances herself on her chair,
and confidcs her thoughts to the
papcr, changing from pencil to pen
aud vico versa from time to time,
nor does she care if the childron
remp or tho cook comes to speak
to her.
A man storms if the blotting
paper IS not conveniently near; q
woman drios the ink by blowing
on it, waving tho paper in the air
or holding it noar tho lamp or
fire.
A man drops letter unhcsita-
tingly in the box; a woman ro-
roads tho address, assures herself
that the envelope is scaled, tho
stamp secure, and th0n throws it
violently into the box.
a man can cut a book only with
q ''tPcl cutter, a woman ueitly
inserts 81 hair-pin and the book is
cut,
For q man "good-byo' signifies
the end of q conversation and tho

The powder used in big guns is
queer-looking stuff. Each grain is
a hexagonal PRISM an inch wide
and two-thirds of an inch thick,
with a holo bored through tho
middle of 1T. In appearance it re-
sembles nothing SO much as q
piece of wood. If you touch n
match to it, it will take seven or
eight seconds to go off. Slow burn
ing powder like this is employed
in cannons because it does not
strain tho gun so much. The quick
or the explosion the greater the
shock and the shorter the life of
the weapon.

To Clean the Teeth.

AS good a dsntritico as one can
got, and ono within tho roach Of
all, is common salt. The teeth
should bo regularly cleaned once q
day by rubbing them lengthwise,
or up and down, not crosswiso,
with q soft, damp cloth dipped in
fine table salt. This readily TO-
moves stains or discolorations from
tho tcoth, imparts fine, even bril-
liant polish, and renders the gums

should also bo lightly dipped in

THE WILSON TARIFF A SUCCESS.

The first eleven months of the Wilson
tariff has demonstrated the truth Of the
Democratic contention that the way to
increase the revenue is to lower the du
ties. So great a man as Daniel Web
ster predicted that under the reduced
duties in the Walker tariff, there would be
a deficit in the Treasury. The result
was that more money was raised than
was necessary. Mr.. Blaine, referring to
that tariff reduction, said in his book
Twenty Years of Congress-;
''The Wing victory of 1913 was not
sufficiently decisive to warrant any at
tempt, even had there been desire, to
change the tariff (of 1846). General
Taylor had been elected without sub
scribing to a platform. More
over, the tariff Of 1916 was yielding
abundant revenue, and the business of
the country was in a ti0urisbing condi-
ton at the time his administration was
organized. x TIE principles EN-
bodied in the tariff Cf 1875 seemed, for
the time, to be so entirely vindic2ted
and approved that resistance to it. ceased
pot only among the people, but among
tho protective economists, and even
among the uanuEac. urers 10 q large OK
tent.
Tt cannot be said that the Wilson tariff
has accomplished results altogether so
gratifying, but IL can be shown that it
has raised more revenue for the support
Of the government, decreased the cost of
many necessary articles, and caused a re-
vival Of business and manufacturing
which, under the operations of theNoKin-
ley act, had suffered great pro3tratioD.
The New York Herald furnishes an
exhaustive table of figures to show the
good effects of the Wilson tariff They
are from official sources 1t says:
''The customs duties collected in the
eleven months from September /, 1894,

MITCHELL COUNTY TROUBLE.

We publish to day another letter from
Rev. M. Jones, and one from Bishop
Cheshire on the UNCONVENTIONAL warfare
in Mitchell county. Commenting on
MI. Jona5's first letter, the Wilmington
Messenger says
"Rev. NJ. Jones writes to the Raleigh
NEWS AND OBSERVER giving his version
Of the Mi chell county disturbance and
his hand III it. HIS account differs from
the published statement Of the numerous
signors. He showed o strange narrow
ness of view for a century like this He

would assure Mr. Jones that they would
be saved through the atonem6nt Of
Christ, whose blood cleanses from all
sin, and not through any church of any
name. They rely upon Gods promises
as given in the Word Of Eternal Truth :"
The Atlanta Constitution, quoting the
News AND OBSERVERS statement that
Rector Jones had given all his property
to the church, says
"The conduct of this preacher shows
that if he is bigot he is an honest one.
1t is impossible to DOUBT the sincerity of
a reformer who strips himself of bis
riches for the benefit of the poor, and
devotes himself to work in which he
cannot expect either popularity or Locu-
mary reward
eff the North Carolinians have such a
preacher among them they should deal
with his excess Of zeal in a tolerant spirit
Il may be that a broader experience viii
enable him to correct his mistakes and
see his duty in CLEARER light.
"a community should be willing to
bear a gold de Of sc0lding from q re
former who Voluntarily distributes his
estate among the poor Such man un-
doubtedly acts according TO his couscicn-
ti0us convictions"
Taking with a prominent member of
the Episcopal church in Raleigh few
days ago, he told a story Of Rev. NJ.
Jones which he said illustrated his mi,-
placed zeal. Sometime ago Mr. Jones
was preaching great deal on baptism
and trying to induce everybody to be
baptized and baptize their children. Full
of this idea, he stopped at horse
trough, on the side of the mountain, to
water his horse. Half a dozen little
urohins were playing about, and Mr..
Jones turned to them seriously and asked
if they had ever been baptized, They
had not, and he got down from his
horse and baptized every little urchin Of
the crowd!

A BLACK EYE FOR TEMPER
ANCE.

1t turns out that one Of the causes that
contributed to the overwhelming defeat
of the Liberals in Great Britain was the
support by most of the members of that
party of the Local Veto" in Parliament.
This was in the nature OF what we call a
focal option" Law to prohibit the sale of
alcoholic liquors in localities where the
majority Of the voters desire such inhi-
bition. Sir William Harcourt, one of the
ablest and bravest of the Liberal lead
ers, in speech just before the election,
referring to the odds against his party,
said They (the Liber&ls) know the
formidable enemies they have to fight;
they have the great liquor interest against
them, while they have, at the same time,
strangely enough, an alliance between
that interest aud the Church" Liberal
leaflets, by the score. were scattered
everywhere, charging the Torres with
fighting under the political slogan:
tBeer and Bible"
After his defeat, Sir William Har
court, who accepted the generous offer
of a Welsh member of Parliament to
accept his seat, spoke again, holding to
his position on the drink question, and
said
'S0me measures should be taken TO
prevent the evils Of exc. s5ive drinking.
1t was said that this was dang rous
question 10 undertake, and that the
liquor interest was powerful; so it was:
but Of all the abuses which the Liberal
Party had bad to encounter there had
been many that were equally powerful,
but which had been eventually over
come THIS, at least, be would say,
that he woald rather fall in a good cause
than triumph in bad one"
To prove the statement that the Lib
erals lost heavily by their advocacy of
the "Lccal Veto" there is stronger
proof than Sir Wm. Harcourt's words.
1t is fact that Brewery bonds rose 1
and per cent in many instances upon
the receipt Of the news Of his defeat.
