COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

Bent.
The city council convened in
special session in the council hall
Tuesday evening. The full board
was present, with Mayor Hollis in
the chair.
After readings of the previous
meetings had been read and approy-
ed, several bills came up for con-
sideration, among which was $12
for warden services. Mr..
Spencer was of the opinion that the
city could get along very we'll with
out the services of the firewardens,
of which at present, there are twop.
4. Froome and A. M. Gillis-who
inspect the flues throughout the.
city four times a year. Council
man Tharp thought the city could
curtail expenses by abolishing the
office of firewarden. The two bills
amounting to $12 were referred to
the finance committee for consid-
Grafton, as some Of the council
didn't seem anxious to allow the
bills. Councilman Jones was int
clined to the belief that the marx
shall was the proper person to look.
after defective flues, however no
action was taken in the matter,
The petition of ]. S.Myrick, ask
ing that he be given the privilege
Of using city water for street sprink-
ling was read, and after some dis
cussion was referred to the fire and
water committee to estimate as to
what the city should charge for
the water, and report at next meets
ing Mr.. Myrick thought 5000 gall
Ions per day would not exceed the
amount he would use for street
sprinkling.
Then followed reading Of more
bills, the first being one from I. D.
Taylor to the amount of $50 for
services as city treasurer for one
year. A motion was made to al
low the bill, but councilmen Cox
opposed it on the ground that the
charter did not authorize the coun-
Gil to vote salary to any official
except the recorder and marshal,
Recorder Gilman informed the
councilman that the charter had
been amended so that the council
now had the right to vote the treas
urer q salary, and proceeded to
look the matter up, not finding it
the bill was referred to the finance
committee.

Passing an Examination.

The story of well known bishop which reached mo the other day seems good enough for publication. The bishop was one day examining a batch of dea- cons for priests orders. After the the oretical part of the examination, he said to them: Gentlemen, you have passed a most excellent examination in theory. should now like to see you do some- thing practical. 1 shall go into the next room and personate sick man. You will come in, one by one, address me as a sick parishioner, and say something comforting " When his lordship had re- tired, the candidates were in some con- fusion, and nobody cared to begin, but at last a mad Irishman volunteered to be the first. Ho entered the study and ap- preached the bishop, who was lying with woebegone air on the sofa. and thus addressed him: "Oh, Anthony, AnthonyI The drink again. Shure it will be the death of ye Turn from your evil ways before it's too late and be 8 man' This is said to be the last time that the bishop hold practical exami- nation. London Truth

TIE FAIRY STONE.
It Is Found In Virginia and Is Supposed
 to He Talisnon.

to He a Talisl~n.
 The Mother of Statesmen" has pro- dueed S number of good things from first to last-chivalrous men; fascinat- ing, soft voiced women; fine horses and the like. but that popular fad should originate with her is an alto gether new departure. Everything must have beginning, however, and who knows, now that the fairy stone has found such favor i'll the world of fashion. what possibilities she may develop in this direction? These queer bits of pet rified earth are indigenous to Patrick, a southern border county of Virginia, cut off from Henry, and called, like the latter, i'll honor of the statesman and orator, Patrick Henry. They arc not ex- cavated for, but lie loose upon the sur face of the soil, and though restricted to two or three parts of the county ex- ist ill great numbers and various sizes.
 Upon each stone a representation of the cross is distinctly though delicately traced, and a legend concerning them states that band of fairies, dwelling at Jerusalem during the life of our Say four and witnessing the awful scene on Calvary, were so mortified by it that they fled to this remote region and transformed themselves into these pet riffed emblems. The legend has given rise to innumerable superstitions, and from time immemorial the stones have been worn as amulets by those living in the vicinity ill which they are found
 The reputation was local, however, until that era in Virginia's history known as sthe boom. Then her super stitions and sacred traditions along with her other commodities, became objects of barter. Speculation fixed it's ealeulat- ing eye upon the fairy stone, and it was taken from it's native bed and expert mented with in order that it might be rendered marketable. It was soon dis covered that no tedious process was nec- essary for its development A sharp in- strument passed along the outline stamped upon its surface converted the jagged stone into a symmetrical cross and little polishing and plunge into q bath of boiling oil gave tho requisite smoothness and the rich mahogany color one sees in the stone of commerce. A tip of gold at the four extremities and a ring to which chain might be attached gave the finishing touch to it, and when thus simply mounted fairy stones sold for $1 apiece.
 The traditions concerning their won der working power are as inexhaustible as the beds from which they are taken and would furnish endless themes te writers of fairy tales and folklore stories. They are supposed to ward off evil and bring good luck to their possessors, but in order to do this must bo worn around the neck and next to the person. Phil adelphia Times

What and Where Is Heaven?

Alger says that "heaven" is not dis tinctively a world situated somewhere in immensity, but that it is "a state of pure spiritual existence, having nothing to do with any special time or place. ," He further says that 'heayen is state of the soul or state of society under the rule of Gods will, either ill this life or in future state of existence. From the above it is clear that the great au thority therein quoted considered that "heaven" does not mean bounded place of abode, but simply unlimited existence ill a state of joy for the souls of virtuous respecters of Gods laws. = St. Louis Republic.

GEORGE " NO GENTLEMAN.
He Said So Once, and at Another Time IT,
 Proved It.

Proved It.
 When Lord Liverpool was forming his ministry ill 1929, he thought it ab- solutely necessary to have Canning at the foreign office, although aware that the appointment would be obnoxious to George ". The Duke of Wellington undertook the unpleasant task of com munieating Lord LiYerpool's determi. nation.
 As soon as the king knew what was wanted of him he broke out: Arthur, 1t is impossible. I said, on my honor as gentleman, he should never be one of my ministers again. 1 am sure you will agree with me that cannot do what I said on my honor as a gentleman I would not do ?
 Another man would have been si- fenced, but the great soldier, always equal to an emergency, replied:
 Pardon me, sir, but I don't agree with you at all. Your majesty is not gentleman. l"
 The bold assertion startled the king, but the duke went on, ''Your majesty Is not gentleman, but tho sovereign of England, with duties to your people far above any to yourself, and these duties render it imperative that you should employ the abilities of MT. Canning" !"
 We'll, Arthur, " said the king, draw ing long breath, If must, must. |"
 Although he did not like being told he was not gentleman, George " had once, at least, while regent for gotten he was one. This was when he flung a glass of wine in Colonel Hamlyn's face, with "Hamlyn, you are blackguardp'
 The insulted officer could not return the compliment without committing something like treason-it was out of the question to challenge the prince, while to let the insult pass unnoticed was equally impossible.
 The colonel filled his glass and threw the contents ill the face of his neighbor, saying, "His majesty's toast, pass it onp'
 'Hamlyn, cried the regent, 'you' re a capital fellowl Here's your health.
 And they were fast friends from that evening. New York Advertiser.

Blank Verse,

Blank or unrhymed is that form of heroic verse which is commonly em- ployed in English dramatic and epic poetry It was introduced by the Earl of Surrey, who died ill 1547, in fs translation of the second and fourth books of "Eneid " It was first em- ployed in the drama in Sackyille and Nortons tragedy of "Ferrex and Por- rex, which was printed in 1865, but it was not till Marlowe adopted it in his play of "Tamburlaine the Great" that it became the form regularly em- ployed in the metrioal drama. which it has since, with only occasional inter yaIs. remained After Milton's use of it in Paradise Lost" it was widely ex- tended to many other classes of compo- sition.

Two sides to the Medal.

Everybody knows the woman who says society is such bore. Few of us know her intimately, for, in point of fact, she does not go about much. I ran across her at a friends house the other day and marked her languid air. The hostess was indiscreet enough to refer to it, and even the teacups shuddered with horror at the woman s reply.
 "Yes," said she, paying calls is so tiresome. '
 "Ohl" responded the hostess, "but think how much more tiresome 1t is to receive them ''
 And the teaoups scored one for the hostess. Washington Post

The Secret Told.

It is often a difficult task to remove soft solder from gold jewelry requiring to be repaired. Scraping and subse- quent treatment with acid are commonly used. but are often dangerous to some ar ticles. A hitherto secret method of treat ment employed at large establishment ill London is as follows: To ounces of muriatic acid add an ounce of crocus and shake we'll To an ounce of this mixture add ounces of hot water, place in an earthen dish and keep up the heat by means of a gas flame. Upon introducing the soft soldered article into the solution the result is said to be all that could be wished.

In Want of MIIIr.

A good story is told of two young Englishmen travelling in Europe. They had never thoroughly mastered any of the languages commonly spoken on the continent and were particularly weak in their Freneh, knowing that language well enough by sight, but not having a Speaking acquaintance with it.
 Finding themselves in small French town one evening. they were desirous of obtaining good cup of eoffee Know ing that cafe was coffee, and that lait was milk, they endeayored to call for a judicious mixture of the two, but their articulation was of so remarkable all order that they succeeded only i'll get ting the coffee Cafe au late they tried without success. Then du lay-it was attempted unavailing1y. The suggestion that lait might be pronounced light was adopted equally i'll vain.
 Finally in despair ona of the strug gling youths exclaimed:
 Well, it's mighty queer we don't know enough to get little drop of milk ''
 "Doyou want milk?" asked the wait ress, opening her mouth for the first time.
 "Y yes, stammered the travellers, overwhelmed with surprise. } "Then why didn't you say so at first?" queried the girl as she f1ounced off.
 And again the young mon didn't know. London Tit Dits.

SWALLOWED THE JUMPING. BEANS.
Thought They Were Capsules and Took the
 Dose In the Dark.

Dose In the Dark.
 A good citizen in the northwestern section of the city has been through an exciting experience. Being dyspeptic, the gentleman visited his physician. A prescription was written for him which the druggist filed The result was a small box of capsules, which he took home and placed upon the sideboard, with the remembrance of the instruc- tions to take two every hour in the even- ing after eating until bedtime. These were obeyed implicitly.
 It was dark in the dining room, and the gentleman went for his medicine the first evening without precaution of lamp and administered to himself three doses of two capsules each before retiring. Ho was awakened some hours afterward by a strange sensation. For aught the man could tell he seemed within to be mammoth penuchle board on which million little objects were dancing.
 He could distinguish kicks and jumps so vividly that it was in vain for his wife to try to convince him that he was dreaming. She suggested the doctor, and the servant was dispatched in hot haste. Before he arrived the sick man asked for more of the capsules, which were brought to his bedside. When the cover was removed, there were Mexican beans instead of capsules, tho kernels bouncing as merrily as spring lambs. Tho boy of nanSuIac had haan fnicplaoad accidentally by the young son and heir and the beans put in its place The doc tor does not say what kind of medicine he finds useful in such cases.

See a Nail. Don't Pick It Up.

Mir William Garrett made recently the statement that wire nails are now sold so oheaply that If carpenter drops nail it is cheaper to let it lie than to stoop and pick it up, and it is claimed that one keg out of five is never used, but goes to waste. A statistician fgur- ing this out, and assuming that 1t takes carpenter ten seconds to pick up nail, and that his time is worth 80 cents an hour, remarks that the recovery of the nail he has dropped would cost .083 cents. The money value of the nail is .0077 cents-that is, it would not pay to pick up ten nails if 1t took ten sec onds of time worth 30 cents an hour. Ordinary men who are not very quick can, however, pick up nail on a mod erately clean floor ill five seconds. As suming that this is better average than the ten seconds, and that we are paying the carpenter only 25 cents an hour, it will still cost to recover the nail .0347 cents, which is nearly five times the value of an individual nail. There is therefore considerable factor of safety in the original calculation, and we are bound to believe that it will not pay to pick upnails. Such a calculation brings out clearly the marvellous reduction in prices due to inventive genius. The lurking fallacy is that while it may not pay to stoop for each nail it still may be worth while for an economical man at the end of his work to stoop down once and sweep up ill single handful the nails he has been dropping all day -St I,nnis Glnha- Damncrat
