Sleep and Insomnia.

Sleep is a greater mystery than in
somnia. We hear much of the latter
state in these days. But it is more
wonderful that we sleep so well than
that we are occasionally wakeful. We
hear more of sleeplessness than our
forefathers did. It is remarkable
fact that in scarcely any Of the older
textbooks Of practice Of physic is
there any formal notice of ins 1mnia
per Sc. In later works, and especially
in those devoted to treatment, the
subject of insomnia does receive con-
siderable attention. And every now
and again the sleeplessness Of a'great
man in the world Of science or in that
of politics reminds us that eminence
has its troubles, and of sort which
seldom affects the poor man.
It is probable that this evil Of wake,
fulness is more common than it used
to be. The excitements and especial
" the worries of life multiply. Many
Of the arrangements Of society are of
nature to drive away sleep. Even
the very pleasures of life are SO taken
by many as to rob them Of one of the
greatest pleasures of allan eight
hours sound sleep; for the best ply
sicians maintain that this is what
everybody should aim at. It may
seem long time to spend third of
ones life in sleep. But if the other
two-thirds are used we'll, there is little
cause for blame. No rule for all can
be laid down; but it would be well
for most people in the intensive days
in which we live to devote light hours
to the cultivation Of the mood and act
of sleep, and to resist the domination
of habits and fashions that are incon-
sistent with this purpose.

One on Fitzhugh Lee.

Apropos Of Lee of Virginia, a story
which General Fitzhugh Lee told or
himself several years ago is a gooo
illustration of the love the Confeder
ate soldiers bore General Robert +
Lee. As is we'll known, General Fitz
hugh Lee was at the head Of the cav
airy, who were much envicd by the in
fantry men, who had to walk through
the mud and dust.
After General Robert y. Lee ha(
surrendered, General Fitzhugh Lee
rode away from Appomattox. While
riding through a lane he met an ole
North Carolina soldier.
"Ho there cried General Lee
"Whcrc arc you going 2
GIVE been off on a furlough, ant
am now going back to join Genera
Bob Lee" replied the old soldier.
"You needn't so back, but cal
throw your gun away and return home
for Lee s surrendered. >
"Lee's surrendered p
"That's what 1 said,'' replied Gen
eral Lee.
"It must have been that d.
Fits Lee, then he cried. "Bob Lee
would never surrender" and the sol
dier put on look of contempt ant

Corpse Wasn't Spoiled.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., June 11.-Mr.
George w. Kittlle, formerly proprietor
of the Buford house in this city, but
who has been proprietor of the Phoenix
hotel in Winston for three years past
has made an assignment to D. d.
Broader. He turned over all Of his
property, including hotel furniture,
etc., to his creditors, the largest one
Of whom is said .to-be =. Il. Eyler,
butcher; who holds claim Of 1915.
The amounts due other creditors in
Winston aggregate several hundred
dollars.
It is said that Mr.. Kittellc's assign
ment was precipitated by sensation
which developed last Friday night,
when number of the guests left the
hotel. The cause of the sensation was
the charge that the ice upon which
the body of the late Charles Johnston
was placed was afterwards used in
icing the tea and water for the
guests of the hotel. 1t was claimed
that rubber sheet was between the
ice and the body and the ice was as
pure as any that could have been used.
But the fact of it having once been
used in cooling corpse was more than
the guests could stand and they were
not slow to raise trouble. Mr.. Kit
telle came 70 Charlotte from the north:
During his proprietorship Of the Buforo
he was model landlord in all respects
and kept an excellent hotel.

The Railroad Hog

A RAILROAD hog the other day
piled the space next to him in Cal
seat with his bundles, and when {
gentleman asked him if anyone was tt
occupy it, replied that the bundles be
longed to man who was temporarily
in the smoking car.
Gail right said the gentleman
''I will sit in the seat till he comes,
and he proceeded to remove the bun
dies.
Pretty soon the owner Of the bun
dies arrived at his destination, and hf
started to gather up his effects. But
the gentleman at once put a veto OF
this, with the remark:
"You can ttake these bundles yor
yourself said they belonged to mar
in the smoker" ;"
The fellow got mad and abusive
but the gentleman was inexorab!e
Finally the conductor was called in
who delivered his dictum as follows
"If the bundles are not claimed by
any one on the train, then, by coming
around to the depot tomorrow ane
identifying them satisfactorily, we vii
give them to you.
The man face was red with rage
but he could do nothing. So, amio
the laughter Of the passengers, ne
rushed out of the car just as the train
was pulling out. And he meekly
came around to the depot for his bun
dies the next day.

The First Locomotive Engine er.

In this day of railroads and in this
country which has more miles OF rail
road than all the rest of the world it
is hard to realize that only a few. days
ago the man died who held the throt-
tleof the first steam locomotive on
its first trip. !.
Ralph Swinburn was that man, and
he died only last week in his ninety
first year at his home near Charleston,
West Virginia. Swinburn was born
at Newcastle-on-th -the-Tyne in January,
1905, the son of miner and fellow
workman Of George Stephenson, the
inventor Of the locomotive. When
Stephenson left the mine and set up
the shop in which he perfected the To-
comotiYe he took young Swinburn with
him as an apprentice, and the latter
saw the efforts which led to the first
locomotive.
On the trial trip of the machine
that was to revolutionize the commerce
Of the world, Young Swinburn sat in
the cab with Stephenson, held the
throttle and helped the great inventor
throughout the entire experiment.
He said not long before his death !:
'sIt was the proudest day of my life,
for I felt that we were inauguratiDg
an industrial revolution" Swinburn,
like Stephenson, was a man of rare
modesty and never boasted of his con-
nection with the history Of the loco
motive. 1t was hard to draw him out
on that subject, and he never spoke of
it except as an ordinary performance
Of duty.
He came to this country in 1850,
landing in New Orleans, and soon af-
forwards moving to Richmond, Va,
where he was employed in the con-
:struction of the Virginia Central Rail
road, which afterwards became the
main line of the Chesapeake & Ohio
system. He was an active railroad
man until twenty-five years ago when
he went to farming, and about the
same time he became Baptist minis
Tier. He lived much longer than he
expected, for he said when he left rail-
road work that he knew he would soon
crust out" He was model citizen,
and died with the respect and esteem
Of all who knew him.
The death of this good old man in
the midst of our hurly-burly railroad
age shows how fast things have moved
since George Stephenson and Ralph
Swinburn ran the first locomotive ever
built.-Atzanta Journal.

DlYlsibIlfty Of Time.

Napoleon, who knew the value Of
time, remarked that it was the quarter
hours that won battles. The value Of
minutes has often been recognized,
and anyone watching railway clerk
handing out tickets and change during
the last few minutes available must
have been struck with how much could
be done in those short portions of time.
At the appointed hour the train
starts, and by and by is carrying pas
sengers at the rate Of 90 miles an hour.
In a second you are carried 20 yards.
In one twenty-ninth of a second you
are carried over one yard. Now, one
yard is quite an apprcciable distance,
but one twenty-ninth Of second is
a period which cannot be appreciated.
Yet, it is when We come to planetary
and stellar motions that the notion of
the infinite diyisibility of time dawns
upon us in new light. Itwould seem
that no portions of time, however
microscopic, are unavailable. Nature
can perform prodgies, not certainly in
less than no time, but in portions Of
it SO minute as to be altogether incon-
ceivable.
The earth revolves on her axis in "a
hours. At the equator her circum-
ference is $4,000 miles. Hence, in
that part Of the earth person is car
ried eastward at the rate Of 500 yards
per second: That is, he is moving over
a yard, whose length is conceivable
in the period of one-fve-hundred and
ninth part of a second, Of which we
can have no conception at all.
But, more, the arbital motion OF the
earth around the sun causes the former
to perform revolution Of nearly 6OO,-
600, 900 miles in year, or somewhat
less than 10000 miles an hour, which
is more than 1000 miles minute.
Here, then, one second carries us the
long distance of about 19 miles. The
mis- ghty ball thus flies about mile in
the nineteenth part Of second-Gooa

Cost Of Weekly Papers.

The whole case is clearly and CO.
gently put by the Yorkville, S. c.,
Enquirer, whose editor and owner,
Mr.. L. NJ. Grist, is one Of the most
experienced publishers of county
newspapers in all this country, and
one who among them is recognized as
an authority. Here is what he says ::
':The Columbia Register announces
raise in the price Of its weekly edi-
tion from one to two dollars year,
and makes the statement that to fur
nish the paper at one dollar year is
equivalent to giving it away. We are
not surprised at this new step on the
part of the Register. The fact is,
that it is just what we have been look
ing for all along. 1t is possible, in
the more intelligent and thickly set
tied white sections of the North and
West, to publish first class weekly
paper for one dollar; but in this sec
tion the feat cannot be accomplished.
The reasons are obvious. The popu-
lation is too sparse, and there is too
great percentage Of ignorant people
who do not read. Say that the ex-
pense Of publishing first class news
paper at $50 a week. 1t is pretty
sorry paper that costs much less than
that. If there was only one sub
scriber, the price of the paper would
have to be $50 to insure expenses.
Two subscribers would reduce the cost
to $25 each, and it would take 1000
subscribers to reduce the cost to five
cents each. The county paper in this
State that manages to secure as many
as 1000 paid ubscribers-and of
course that is the only kind that helps
to liquidate expenses-is doing re-
markably good business. The Colum-
bia Register, with the whole State for
its field, claims only 5000 subscribers
at 81 each, and at that rate can hard
ly make living. Taking everything
advertising and all into considera-
tion-when the average Southern
weekly reduces its price below 50 a
year, it is getting pretty q ear the dead
line. In our opinion 81 is reasona-
bly, fair price /; but to make both ends
meet, it takes pretty lively hustling
even at that.

Some Recent Pulpit Utterances.

The Connecticut preacher who from
his pulpit thanked God that the frost
had destroyed the apple blossoms be-
cause this would destroy the apple
crop and would benefit the cause Of
temperance by eliminating the possi-
bility Of hard cider, attracted atten-
tion. He could probably have attain
ed prominence in no other way.
The New York preacher who declar-
ed that selfshness was back of the
uptown movement of churches in the
metropolis and that there is real dan
ger in the desire of ministers to seek
fashionable localities, attracted atten.
tion because the truth Of his usteran-
ces struck home.
When Commander Booth, Of the
Salvation Army, warned his followers
against the dangers of prosperity and
admonished them that their duty was
to go lower" he attracted attention
and demonstrated his rare common
sense.
The gentleman who has assumed
the leadership of the anti-cider cru
sade can do no harm and deserves
mention simply as one of the unique
specimens Of the agei the other two
are, however, men; Of convictions and
Of the courage to express them,
Rev. E. S. Holloway is pastor of the
Thirty-third street Baptist Church in
New York. At recent conference Of
ministers of his denomination he re-
piled to- the suggestion of critics that
sthe religion Of Jesus Christ is on
trial." by stating that the true ques.
tion is "are we ministers a failure 7"
! He said that the tendency Of the
churches to-day to seek fashionable
localities is due to the desire OF the
ministers to find wealthy congrega-
tions and to get into society. Some
Of his fellow ministers were not par
ticularly pleased with his remarks.
"but," said he, "where is the true
spirit Of religion, if we do not take
our position beside the poor, the lowly
and the needy-those whose souls
hunger for moral food, as their bodies
often lack physical nourishment 2
On the same line werethe remarks
Of Commander Booth. The occasion
for them was the Inauguration Of the
handsome new headquarters Of the
army during the recent jubilee. In
prosperity he seemed to see danger.
His appeal to his people was not to
"come3snp higher, but to Ego down
lower. The mission of his army, he
said, MAS TO carry the gospel into the
slums, to.5lift the fallen and succor
the needy The commander showed
his broad common sense when he ut
tered that warning. It's easy enough
to find reformers,at the cop. AS long
as the army followsits leaders s advice
and sticks to it's mission, it will merit
the admiration Of everybody aspira
tions to shine in other fields will mean
defeat and destruction.
There is the spirit Of the gospel Of
Jesus Of Nazareth in the words of
Rev. Mr.. Holloway and Commander
Booth. Atlanta Constitution.

A Fathers Reward.

Thomas Jefferson used to mention
with especial gratitude two services
for which he kept his father-who
died when the lad was but fourteen
years old-afectionately in mind
through life. The father sent the
boy early to classical school, and ION
his dying bed gave definite directions
for the continuance Of the lads collie
giate education. These counsels were
carried out with diligence and devotion,
and Thomas Jefferson felt throughout
his career that he owed to his fathers 8
foresight. and wisdom the privileges,
opportunities and fruitage which a
thorough collegiate training involves:
Thespther help which his father. had
given him was the Inheritance of q
large estate, which lifted him above
the lot of poverty. When, however,
Jefferson compared, in middle and
later life, the advantages and bless.
Jugs Of these two benefactions received
as gifts from his fathers generous
heart and discerning brain, he was not
at loss to discriminate between their
relative values. He counted his
classical education, he often declared,
worth more than his patrimonial acres:
The incident may stand as type OF
the principle that the father who gives
his children a good education confers
upon them boon more precious than
silver or gold. Next to positive re-
ligious example and influence in the
home the gfeatest blessing the parents
can confer upon their children is a
good education. The interest which
Jefferson took in education began in
childhood and ceased only when he
ceased to breathe. The nation owes
much to him for varied services to the
republic in its youth and especially
it needs to keep in mind the work
which that illustrious man did for
classical and scientific culture in his
own commonwealth by founding a
great institutional learning. When
he came to write his epitaph he indi-
Gated in it what his own sense Of the
relative worth Of his public service
was when he expressed his wish that
the obelisk over his tomb should bear
the inscription: Here was buried
Thomas Jefferson, author Of the
Declaration of the American Indepen=
dence, Of the statute of Virginia for
religious freedom, and father Of the
University Of Virginia. f"

Mrs. Anna Collins, Of Troy,
Tenn, is probably the oldest woman
in the United States. She was born
in Robertson County, Tenn, April u
1888, and is therefore in her 108th
year. Her husband, Francis Collins,
was born March II, 1871, and came
from South Carolina to West Tennes-
see. He was one Of the most noted
methodist evangelists that was ever in
the South. 1t is said of him that in
one of his revival meetings such en-
thusiasm was manifested that there
were in two weeks 845 conversions and
456 accessions to the Church. Five
children were born to Francis and
Anna Collins, two of whom are still
living, the eldest being man of three
score and six years. She has used
tobacco constantly for ffty-fve years,
and is as strong to-day as most women
at the age of 45.

recently preached a sermon in which he

enough to destroy the apple blossoms in
that section, and trusted that it would also
destroy every apple blossom throughout

would destroy the apple crop, be argued,
