SAD ACCIDHN II
Miss Sadie Alexander ThY0Wn
From a Buggy and Killed.

One of the saddest accidents,
which has occurred in this county
for years, was that of Sunday even
ing last, when Miss Sadie Alexander,
young lady who was about Is or 16
years old and resident of the 18th
district, was almost instantly killed
by being thrown from a buggy
while returning from Ebineezer
Church. With Miss Alexander
in the buggy was Miss ADELAIDE New
land. While coming down a steep
hill near Ebineezer Church, it is
supposed that the mule they were
driving took fright, but the cause is
unknown; when the animal reached
that part Of the hill where the road
curves it was at full speed and at
that point the buggy was overturn-
ed, Miss Alexander WIS thrown vio-
lently against tree standing near
the road while Miss Newland fell on
Miss Alexander and escaped without
being injured. Miss Alexander on
ly lived about Is minutes after the
accident. The immediate cause of
her death is thought to have been
caused by an internal hemorrhage.
In another buggy, either in front or
behind the one overturned, was
Mrs. J. S. Nicely and daughter,
Miss jamie, and the horse which
they were driving also became un-
manageable and began running,
Miss Nicely, being very agile, made
successful leap from the buggy,
but her mother remained in the We
hicle until the foot of the hill men
toned was reached where she was
thrown out. While Mrs. Nicely
was considerably bruised by the fall
her injuries, we are pleased to
state, are not considered serious.
The remains of Miss Alexander
were followed, on Monday last, to
the Ebineezer Cemetery by con-
course of sorrowing friends where
they were laid at rest.

ITO the traditional antipathies Of
the animals, gossiped theplanter from
North Carolina TO the Nail and Err
press reporter, must be added the mu-
tual dislikes of the mule and the tnr-
tie. Whether il is the uncanny APP
pearance Of the subtitle fsh-like odor

if he pops his head from the water in
the same field where a mule is at work
there will be no more plowing corn

81 have known mules which would
not go near the brook for days because
a turtle had trailed off under the BUSH
es when they were taken down TO
drink. And | have seen them take the
bit between their teeth and break out
of field on dead run when the scent
of turtle was in the air.
"There are some who believe that
the mules mistake terrapin for musk
rats. Nearly every plantation mule
which has worked by the waterside
has been annoyed by putting its hoof
through the soil, down into the musk
rats winter home. And his antipa-
thy for the muskrat thus becomes a
question of fexperience if not Of instinct

Sneezing.

DR.. Scanes Spicer, reading a paper
the other day before the Chemists
Assistants Association on "Sneezing,
told his hearers that the act of sneez-
ing has always been regarded as super
natural, and by many races was held
in reverence. Hence arose the custom,
not even now altogether obsolete, of
making some remark directly after
sneezing. sneezing was regarded as
a sign of impending death during the
plague Of Athens. Many classical
writers make especial reference to
sneezing, and some supposed that dur
ing sneezing devils were expelled.
Sneezing itself is reflex nervous
action, and is brought about by me-
chanical irritation to the ends Of the
nerve fibers which occur in the tissue
of the nose. When this irritation oc-
ours, whether it be due to foreign
body or change of temperature affect
ing the tissus of the nose, nerve I'M
pulse is transmitted to the brain and
certain nerve centres in the medualla
oblongata are affected this results in
certain impulses being transmitted
along the nerves to the muscles con-
trolling respiration. By this means
the egress of air during respiration is
delayed, and the various exits closed.
When the pressure, hewever, reaches
a limit, the exits are forced open, "a
powerful blast of air is expelled, and
the patient sneezes.

Strength Of Chains.

Good chain made from one-fourth
inch rod will weigh about g ofa pound
per running foot and will break with

perior quality will take, perhaps, %
per cent more TO break. This is when
the chain is new. After little wear,
the strength may be reduced to almost
any extent. A chain made from three

A Stuffed Emperor.

One of the most remarkable stuffed
skins on record was that of Valerian,
Emperor of Rome, who was taken
prisoner and afterward kept in chains
by Sapor, King of Persia. He was
either killed in tumult or by order
of his confuerer, who was perhaps
fearful of losing his valuable living
trophy, in the year 269. The body
of the dead emperor was treated with
no more delicacy than when it had
held the spark of a living one. 1t
was skinned, the hide, after being
tanned, was stuffed, painted red, and
suspended in the chief temple of the
capital. 1t remained there for many
years, and was the popular spectacle
for holiday makers and visitors from
the country. But it was put to more
important ends than this; it was made
a diplomatic engine of much signif-
canoe and efficiency. In after times
it often happened that the Roman en-
voys at the Persian court had mis-
understandings, more or less serious,
with the Government to which they
were temporarily accredited. When
these ambassadors from Rome grew
arrogant in their demands, it was the
custom to conduct them into the pres
ence of the stuffed skin of the old ex-
Emperor of Rome, when they were
asked if humility did not become
them at sight of such a spectacle.

The Ear-Ring.

Has anyone except a woman and
jeweler noticed the gradual, and of
recent years, the rapid retirement Of
the earring? Not many years ago
two women out Of three wore ear
rings. Little girls at school begged
to have their ears pierced, and hero.
ically-it may be called heroism-
submitted to the painful puncturing
of the delicate lobe Of the ear only for
the qualification Of vanity. Today,
except among the Italian and Portu-
guese peasant women, the pendent
earring has almost wholly disappear
ed. a few still cling to the ear orna-
ment in the shape Of "a stud, but the
jewelers. say that few women nova
days submit to the piercing process.
Some whose ears are already pune
tured still wear their ornaments, but
many use little articles to conceal
the traces of the needle.

becoming separated from them, was
obliged to fee to the open country and
narrowly escaped falling into the
hands of the savages, who thirsted
for his blood, for he was one of their
most determined enemies. Girty en-
tertained bitter hatred for him and
yearned to subject him to the keenest
of his tortures. After this increase to
the forces of the garrison Girty and
his followers abandoned all hope of
capturing the fort, and after setting
6re to the houses outside the pickets
and killing the stock belonging to the
settlers, they raised the siege and
withdrew to the wilderness.

Extracting Teeth BY Electricity.

Trials have been made at London
with new apparatus for the extrac-
ton Of teeth by electricity. II consists
Of an induction coil Of extremely fine
wire, having an interrupter that can
yibrate at the rate Of $50 times Sec
ond. The patient sits in the tradi-
tional armchair and takes the mega
tive eleetrode in his left hand and the
positive In the night. At this moment
the operator turns on current whose
intensity is gradually increased till it
has attained the utmost limit the pa
tent can support. The extractor is
then put in circuit and fastened on the
tooth, which, under the action Of the
vibration, Is loosened at once. The
operation is performed very quickly,
and the patient feels no other sensa-
ton than the pricking produced in the
hands and forearms BY the current.

to work upon it, it flies into bits and
acts like piece of highly tempered
steel which has been plunged into cold
water when it is hot Biologists say
that in the remote ages Vermont was
an arm of the sea, and that marble
was made of.the remains of corals and
shells which had been subjected to a
great pressure and high heat, and
that the reason the marbles north of
Rutland are fner-gnined and brittle
is because the heat and pressure were
greatest there.
Marble is quarried in New York,
Massachusetts,, Maryland, Tennessee,
Georgia and Vermont. Large depos-
its are said to exist in certain West
ern States, but they have not been de-
veloped. The largest single quarry
opening in the world is said TO be in
Proctor, VT
Vermonters use machinery to CON-
pete with Italy in quarrying marble.
The beautiful marble of Carran, Italy,
is all quarried by hand, but the Ital-
ian quarryman take more risks, for
they do not hesitate to use powder
for blasting the marble itself. The
powder penetntes the marble, and
though it may not be noticed at FIRST
the black specks are sure TO come to
the surface in few years. The ltal-
ian Government has tried TO break the
Italian store-eutters of this bad habit
but they persist in hanging on to primi-
tive methods and doing what has been
done in the 500 quarries in the noun
tains around Carrara ever since gun
powder was used for quarrying pur-
poses The Carrara quarryman liter
ally takes his life in his hands in many
of the quarries, for he often is swung
over the side of the marble precipice
and "chug-chugs" with his hand drill
suspended in mid-air. When this
aerial quarryman has drilled his holes
and loaded them with blasting powder
he is pulled out of harms way and
the marble block, ripped from its lofty
bed by the blast, tumbles down the
mountain side, sometimes being shat
tered into fragments.
