TILLMAN'S BIOGRAPHY.

The new congressional directory,
with sketches of the members of the
house and senate, has been published.
The sketch of Senator Tillman, from
facts furnished by himself, is as follows 4:
BENJAMIN Ryan Tillman, of Tren-
ton, was born in Edgeield county, S. c.,
August II, 1S47 received an education
under the instruction of General Col
phin, at Bethany, in the same county !;
quit school in July, 1864, to join the
Confederate army, but was stricken
with servere illness, which caused the
loss of his left eye and kept him an
invalid for years; followed farming as
pursuit and took no active part in
politics till he began the agitation in
1886 for industrial and technical edu-
cation, which eliminated in the estab-
lishment of the Clemson Agricultural
and Mechanical college, at Calhoun's
old home, Fort Hill ; the demand for
educational reform broadened into
demand for other changes in State
affairs, and he was put forward by the
farmers as a candidate for governor in
1890; after an exciting and heated
canvass he received the nomination in
the Democratic convention by vote of
270 to so for his opponent, and was
elected in the November following this
was his first political Office, and he was
reelected in 1892 by an overwhelming
vote his term as governor was signal
lied by the passage of the dispensary
law for the control of the liquor traffic
by the State, and by the establishment
of another college, the Winthrop
Normal and Industrial college for
Women, at Rock Hill, an institution
which bids fair to lead all similar schools
in the South entered the race for the
senate against General Butler, and the
two canvassed the State, county by
county, with the result that Tillman
was elected as Democrat, by the gen.
eral assembly by vote of lS1 to q
for Butler. His term of service will
expire March 8, 1901"

s8r The question is often asked:
"Wbere do sea birds obtain fresh water
to quench their thirst ?" An old skip
per says that he has seen these birds at
sea, far from any land that could fur
nish them water, lowering around and
under a storm cloud, Gathering like
ducks on hot day at a pond, and
drinking in the drops of rain as they
fell. They will smell rain squall
100 miles or even further off, and scud
for it with almost inconceivable swift
ness. How long sea birds can exist
without water is only matter of con-
lecture, but probably their powers of
enduring thirst are increased by habit,
and possibly they 60 without water for
many days, if not for several weeks.

sH Beer kegs are being used with
great success for the odd purpose of
catching bears in the vicinity of Ho-
uuiam, Wash, and are said to make
the best bear traps ever used in that
region. One end is knocked out of
the keg, and then number of strong,
sharp spikes are driven into its sides,
the points slanting slightly toward the
closed end. A big dab of honey or
other delicacy especially liked by a
bear is then placed at the further end,
and the keg is carelessly dropped in
the woods where the bears are likely
to stumble across it. The device caught
five bears in one week for one keg
planter recently. The bear just push
es right into the keg after the honey
in the end, and the spikes etfectually
prevent him from backing out, and all
he can do is roll around until he is
tired, and then wait for the trap layer
to come round.

s6se Sunday is no more sacred than
Monday, but it is set apart for spe-
cial purpose. The Lord asks you to
keep it holy. You shall not work you
must rest. Our age is not one of rest.
The terrific workers who built up a
nation in a few years fritter away their
energies. Stop. Rest, and let other
people rest as we'll. l say nothing
against recreation, except that which
involves labor, both of yourself and OF
other people. That is not what is
needed. Rest your mind, your body,
and your heart. The Sabbath day was
made for man, and not man for the
Sabbath day.-Rev. DR.. Geo. c. Lori

"That is beyond belief, Mr.. Jerrold.
Once and for all understand this case.
You have compromised her good name

You have it in your power to clear her
by proving where you were, since you
were not near her; by showing how you

A sneering smile was the only answer
for moment then:
"I shall take great pleasure in con-
founding my enemies should the matter
be brought before a court. I'm sure If
the colonel can stand that sort Of thing
I can, but ns for defending myself or
anybody else from utterly unjust and
proofess suspicious it's quite another
thing"
"Good God, Jerrold, do you realize

airy reply, mot at all It is not a posi-

Armitage could bear no more. The
airy conceit and insolence Of the man
oyercame all self restraint and resolu-
ton. With one bound he was at his
throat, his strong white hands grasping
him in a sudden, viselike grip, then
hurling him with stunning, laundering
force to the floor. Down, headlong,
went the tall lieutenant, his sword clat-
tering by his side, his slim brown hands
clutching wildly at anything that might
bear him up, and dragging with him in
his catastrophe rack of hunting
pouches, antlers and one heavy double
barreled shotgun. All came tumbling
down about the struggling form, and
Armitage, glaring down at him with
clinching fists and rasping teeth, had only
time to utter one deep drawn maledic-

the minor question whether the par
ticular food is likely to prove then and
there wholesome or indigestible to the
particular person. The sense of taste
proceeds in fact, upon the principal of
gradual selection and eliminations it
refuses first what is positively destruc-
tive, next, what is more remotely de-
leterious, and, finally, what is only
undesirable or overluscious.

EXToRTIoN.-A middle aged man OF

countenance, stepped into a hatter's
shop and removed the wrappings from
a soft felt hat he carried in his hand.

he inquired.
