Why all women are not beautiful al

Why all women are not beautiful and
all men not strong may be hard to ex-
plain, but Is not 50 hard to say why
more men are not strong and more
women not beautiful. 1t is because
they need to have their blood purified
and invlgorated by the use of Ayers
SarsapariIla-that good old medicine
which has not only stood the test OF
half century, but was alone consid-
cred worthy OF exhibition, by the
Worlds Fair Commissioners, out OF all
the preparations purportlng, to be
bloodpurifiers and nerve-tonlcs. 1t Is
a fact, we'll known to medical men and
testified to by thousands that the eff
ect O using this medicine is to impart
strength to the muscles, vIgOr to the
mind brightness to the eyes, brilllance
to the skin, and bloom to the cheek
What more can be desired? Ayers
Sarsaparilla does this for others, it vii
do so for you 1t does this by driving
out of the veins and arteries every par
ticle OF diseased blood and filling them
with pure and vigorous circulation
This is the secret both of beauty anc
of health.

that il rot al. The clover Is ready to
take off bv May 10th. The same land
can tfen be sown in peas, Cspeckled are
earlie.D two bushels per acre, broad
cast which will produce fully as much
as the clover. uat NOIiI VIC AOA,'OS

for one acre one year is it not? But
even that is not all. The peas Will do
to cut between July 18th and August

in inlet Seeding heavily and by Sep
temiar 18th will produce a crop equal
in weight to either the clover or peas

YELLOW FE YER.

Advlces come from Washington to
the effect that yellow fever threatens
this country. Surgeon General Wy
man of the United States marine hos
pital service is in the South making
inspection and preparation against the
fever. We quote the following:
In accordance with the recommend
ations of Surgeon General Wyman, Act
ing Secretary Nilke, of the Treasury
Department. te!egraphed to the col
lector OF customs at Shieldsboro, Miss,
to require all vessels from infected
districts to repair at once to the Ship
Island, Miss, quarantine station for
dlslntection. This action supersedes
the State quarantine laws, as the situa-
ton Is such that prompt and vigorous
measures are deemed necessary to pre-
vent the introduction Of yellow fever
into the United States, and it is feared
that the State authorities have not the
facilities in hand to act promptly.
Vessels will not be allowed to leave
Ship Island quarantine station without
pactique signed b. the United States
quarantine officers Surgeon General
Wyman will remain in the South until
all the measures for inspection of yes
sells from infected districts are put into

NORTH CAROLINA TIMBER

In Forestry Notes" sent out to the
nress bv state GeoIogist j. A. Holmes,
we note the following Interesting de-
talI. concerning our pine timber:
tn. lumber trade in North Carolina
i deserving Of careful consideration
II has been growing rapidly during the
,,a.f few decades; and already serious
inroads have been made on the forest
supplies.
Our timber trade is developing along
much the same line as that III other
Southern States, except that we are
making larger uses Of the lOblolly and
zap pine, wheel. ~ indeed, now known
on the market as, North Carolina pine.
For many years much OF our timber
has been shipped out OF the State III
the log to be manufactured elsewhere.
In the Northeastern counties OF the
State. many thousands of logs are an
nualv shipped to Norfolk, and to other
points to be put through the saw mill
and the planning mill, and in the West
ern counties many thousand hard wood
logs are annually flOated down the
streams into Tennessee. This custom
results i'm great loss to the State, and
there appears to be no way to prevent
it except by encouraging establish
ments within the borders of the State
and this should be done in every pos
sible way.
The value of the crude timber pro
duced in the State during the past year
was about as follows:
Value Of fuel, domestic and
for manufacturing, S1O.OOO,U,
Value of saw LOGS at mills 100000

HOW hong WILL OU1

ESTS LAST?
Certainly the industries in the State
growing out of our forest products are
of vast importance, and should be en-
coIraged in every possible way.
During the past few decades the
great white pine forests of the North
have been cut at an enormously rapid
rate and with recklessness character
lStic Of the American ZIMMERMAN. Du-
ring the past few years the lumbermen
lave been turning their attention to
southern supplies of pine and hard
woods, and these are now being bought
up and cut at a rapid rate and before
Our neople come to realize the situa-
ton, our supposed ineXhaustible forests
VIII be largely removed. In the East
ern counties. at the present rate of cut
ting, in less than two decades our sup
plies of pine will have been exhausted
and the great hard wood forests Of the
Piedmont and Mountain counties, will
III the same time have been cut, or
purchased by the mill men and held
10y them as reserve supplies.
The sooner, then, that our people
can be brought to abandon the long
prevailing belief that they have more
timber than they know what to dc
with, and constantly are willing to al
most give it away and the sooner they
can be brought to realize the fact that
the valuable supplies of timber which
they are now selling to the mill men
1t low prices, can not be replaced in
their day and generation the sooner
they come to understand that under
our present system of cutting thew not
only Use up the supply belonging tc

While 1t permits the use Of the mature
timber Of to-day, 1t also preserves the

Reasons Why Sumo Business Houses Mall
 Tramc Ansoeats ln Biiia and Stamps.
 4 seaside houcl proprietor wishing to close his se0sons account with ono of the largest uphol3tering establishments in this city, wrote for his balaueo few days ago, requesting ehecl, for the four dollars and thirty-two cents that stood to his credit. lie was surprised the day following, says the New York Herald, to receive a registered letter containing four onc-doilar bills ond sixteen two-cent postage stamps
 He made inquiries of bis neighbors and learned that not only this particu- lar business house, but many others in New York city, were in the habit Of paying small amounts in cash, rather than by checks.
 '1'he reason for mailing cash instead of checks in settlement of small ac- counts said tho manager of ono of these houses, in answer to my question, lis twofold For one thing, our banks object to small checks, We have ac- counts only with big banks, doing a business of many hundreds of thou sands or millions a year, and a mass of small checks would tend to bother them greatly. Some banks won't take ae- counts except with the understanding that small checks will not be drawn up- on them except occasionally.
 Tine principal reason. though, Is to guard us against the raising of cheelis. Any check under ten dollnrs is very easily raised, and tbore arc 50 many petty sharpcrs engaged in that busi- ness that we arc apt to be greatly bothered and frctted by these little frauds. We find that il is mach thcap- CT for us, in these days of cheap rcgia try, toaottlo such accounts in bills and postage stamps and pay the registry charges, tAag to run the risk of loss and trouble by sending 9 lot of little checks all over thr country"

 The origin of this observance dates q long wey back. It arose out of dis pate between the police commissary of the Chatolet and the corporation of notarics.
 The duty of the former was to hold 2 lighted candle at the door of the cham Der as the legal gentlemen were enter ing if. aud o1. one occasion the eommis- a.y, with the spirit which animates laany men in office, even in our own great country, complained that t was unfair for the expense of the candles to fall upon him, contendiug that he ought rather to receive an inaemnity for his services
 He gained his point, and from that time forward the commissary vas given three hundred pounds of wax candles aunually In the course of time thc three hundred pounds of wax melted away and dwinlled till in the present day the ancient custom has come down to the gift of a ten-pound box of com D0site candles
