BE Thought of Mother.

We take the following touching
article from an exchange. 1t says:
"Near Wellsboro, Howard Keeney,
8 years old, was caught in the shaft at
Wicham's saw mill and whirled about
until his clothing and even his shoes
were torn off. He was found with
his left arm torn off al the elbow, his
leg broken and badly bruised, but
perfectly conscious Foreman Kim
ball carried him home, and on the
way the lad exclaimed; 81 wonder
what mamma will say when she sees
me-" When the mother saw her
child she tainted, and the boy direct
ed Kimball where to take him up
stairs. The little fellow died during
the night"

Down in Round House, Kentucky,
the other day, 1000 relatives and
friends gathered to witness the mar
riage of William Sexton, IoS years OF
age, to Mrs. Croft, aged IoI. The
ceremony was perforn9 in a log

ago, and after the wedding the couple
drove off in a carriage SO years old.
The man and woman have known
each other from childhood, and the
marriage was suggested by their rel
atives. And the. frisky old couple
were quite willing. Loves young

to sufferers from catarrh will not be
amiss if cure can be offered. Ely's
Cream Balm has become a favorite in
all sections of the United States.
Your cold in the head will be quickly
relieved by it, and the severest attack
of catarrh will yield to, and be per-
fectly cured by thorough treatment.
Catarrh is not blood disease, but
an inflammation Of the passages OF
the nose and throat, due to climatic
changes.

The folly of prejudice is frequently
shown by people who prefer to suffer
for years rather than try an advertised
remedy. The millions who have no
such notions, take Ayers Sarsaparilla
for blood diseases, and are cured. So
much for common sense.

ObStructiOnS to Amusements.

! Mr.. EDITOR: The a:uusem ent season is
approaching and we are promised some
fine attractions in the Anderson Opera
House The wearing of large hats by the
latles on such occasions has long been q
su bject of ridicule and comment, and a
few cities, among them Atlanta, Ga have
adopted ordinances making it an offense
, for ladies to wear hats at the Opera House
that will obstruct the views Of others.
The ladies of Atlanta took very readily to
tho new regulation, and In Augusta, Ga I,
. tho ladies have determined to remove their
bats in the Opera House without being re-
Gulred to do so. have no desire to see q
bat ordinance adopted in Anderson, but
suggest that our ladies voluntarily adopt
the new style II they do so, they will
discover that they are adding to their own
corafort as we'll as to that of others.
would also suggest that the men quit
going out to smoke cigarettes or to "see q
man" between the acts. PATRON.

Perfumed Butter.

Perfumed butter on the dinner table
is the latest fad of wealthy people in
London. The dairies where this but
ter is made are as odorous as a florists
shop or the laboratory of a perfumer.
In the first place the butter is made in
small pats like those in ordinary use.
Each pat is wrapped in a bit of fine
muslin and placed on n bed of rose
leaves specially prepared in an earthen
jar. On top another layer of the fresh
and delicate rose leaves is placed be-
fore the jar IS placed in n refrigerator
and allowed to remain there for ten
hours, when the pats are ready for the
customer.

In an interview Friday Senator c. 5.

by Governor Bushnell will be for the
best interests of the party and the
State.
Mr. W. Is McGnl is also understood
to be for Hauua, which makes the sen

the plans and movements Of the enemy
miles away, consists of three large
cylinders, two of equal size and one
larger one, all OF aluminium. The two
small cylinders are cigar-shaped, and
are held in place side by side and sus-
pended from tie larger cylinder, which
is about is feet long and eight feet
in diameter at the front, while the
stern is somewhat smaller
Projecting from c@2n side Of this main
cylinder are two sheets OF aluminium,
which might be termed wings. They
arc seven feet long and three feet in
width. At the stern OF the cylinder
there IS liked large but Light fan
wheel or propeller, which, when in mo-
ton, acts in the air exactly as n ships
propeller does in ihe wafer, forcing the
car onward through space.
Extending downward are four Light
but strong steel rods, to which are at
tached the two smaller cylinders, paral-
lei with each other, but sufficiently far
apart to allow for the working OF the
machinery Of the car between them.
When 1t is known that an encmy's
ship is in the vicinity, the services of
the aerial observation car are called
into requisition. The cylinders are par
tally filled with gas, which is carried
for that purpose in large storage tank
on board the ship. The car is then
lowered ovar the ships side into the
water, and the rider takes his seat
upon the machine. The filling of the
cylinders is then completed and the
airship rises from the water like a
huge sea bird.
High up in the air the rider has an
unobstructed view over miles of water.
No bullets can reach him, and with
Il powerful glass he can at his leisure

FLOATING In THE AIR.
New A.eroplane Designed for the
Imperial Russian Navy.
ny Its Means the Movements OF Hos
tile Warships Can BE Seen from
Afnr-Buoyed Up by Alum
iniurn Cylinders.

The aerial observation car, an in
genious device which has just been per-
fected by Paul Skobeloff, a. Russian
naval expert, is destined to be of great
service in marine warfare, as by it's
application the officers OF one fleet can
be apprized of the enemy's movements
by signals from the clouds, while the
enemy will be ignorant of being
watched.
This invention is to some extent u
modification and vast improvement
upon the war balloon. yet it bears SO
little resemblance to the usually con-
ceived idea of that machine that the
observer might well be pardoned for
mstsking it for anything except an
airship. 1t is, in fact combination of
all the practicable features of air craft
constructed during the last quarter of
century, and, in addition, has num-
Der of entirely now and novel features
which give it Il success heretofore un-
attained by any invention for aerial
navigation.
With this car, says the New York
Herald, the maneuvers of hostile ships
can be observed long before they come
within the range of vision of anyone
aboard ship, and high among the clouds
the rider of this novel machine signals
his fellows by means of colored flags
just what the eneriy is doing.
