SuF5red Another Loss by Fire.

Mr.. s. J. Clark Of Cbapin, who
a short while ago had the misfortune
of having his barn, stables, four
head of stock, all of his rough food
and other property destroyed by fire,
has met with a Ike misfortune in TIE
destruction of his gin house, mill
and machinery by fire. The fire is
supposed to have originated from a
hot box. The loss is heavy and com
plete, falling entirely upon Mr.. Clark
as there was no insurance on this
property.
The Columbia, Newberry and
Laurens Railroad depot, which was
near the gin house, was also con-
sumed, but We are informed that It's
contents were saved.

Although I never used any secret
remedies before, I prescribe st.
Joseph's Sarsaparilla il my practice
as would any prescription OF my
own compounding, and any pbysl-
clan who will do the same will be
greatly pleased at the results
achieved. In ny opinion it is supe-
rior to all others and has been es
pecially useful to me in Rheumatic
and Scrofulous cases.

Linen Carpets.

Linen NaIPeIa.
The manufacture of carpets by an en-
tirely new method has lately been under
taken at Puebla, Col, imported Irish
linen being the component material, no
wool being used in the weaving OF the
product. The goods are sold and cut
to fit any room, and then finished in de-
signs and color to suit the taste OF the
purchaser; rugs and mats being included
among the fabrics. 1t is asserted that
not only are the colors guaranteed to
be fast, but that the cost Of the carpets
is only about one half as much as in
grain, the wear being also two to one in
favor Of the new anticle as compared
with the best ingraln. Anot important
advantage claimed for these,productions
in addition to those Of economy and
wear, is that of healthfulness, medical
authority being cited in favor of their
superior character from a sanitary
point of view.-Sun.

Birds Are Mathemat,cians.

Birds Are Mathematlcians.
The English naturalist, Morris Gibbs,
devoted years OF study to birds nests,
their formation and their contents, and
asserts that birds lay their eggs in &C
cordance with geometrlcal lines go that
every inch of space is used to the great
est possible advantage. Birds which
lay many eggs arrange them in circles,
the pointed ends turned to the inside.
OTHERS, whose eggs are eliiptlcally
Ishapedspface them In LONGITUDINAL rows.
Hlaln egg Is moved out Of it's original
position by an intruder, it will be found
on the following morning that the bird
has returned it to it's first position.
Among the numerous and often difficult
cases which Gibbs made q matter OF
study, not one was found that would
not do credit to a mathematician.
