STORIES OF BILL NYE.
The Color of North Carolina and the Fiell
of Rive.

The Color of North Carolina and the Fielt
of Rye.
While standing ON top of Lookout
mountain a few days ago l was carried
back to memories of dear old Bill Nye,
for we had stood upon the same spot
together some years before, and a guide
then told us that we could see seven
states from that point of view-viz,
Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama.
where's North Carolina?" Nye in
quired.
The man pointed to a particular place
In the purple horizon.
Carolina?" Nye asked.
"Oh, we know by the direction and
the conformation of the mountains
there" the man replied.
"Well, l know that that is not North
Carolina" Nye declared with some We
hemenoe. "And you would know it,
too, if you would stop to think. Here
Is a map of the United States, and you
can see that North Carolina is pink.
Besides, l know it is pink. 1 live in
that state considerably, and I've helped
to paint it red, but of course | go away
sometimes, and then it fades a little,
leaving it pink. No, sir, you can't stuff
me that way. The place you are point
ing at, a color blind man could see, is
purple"
Nye said those things SO seriously
that the man was almost dazed. He
gave Nye a puzzled look and then went
on pointing out other sisters in the late
Confederacy.
Shortly after that and only a few
weeks before his death Nye wrote me
from his home at Asheville, N. G., say
ing: 81 have on my farm here a very
promising field of rye that looks as if it
would run 10 or 90 gallons to the acre.

There was a groan of mortal terror,

twisted every feature Peter felt his soul

A Peculiar Ohio Community,

"There is a community at Amish,

an Ohioan. "There are no churches

which consists of Is, 900 or 90, 600
souls, residing ON 100 acre farms.
Every member of the settlement is
a producer. Religious meetings are
held, but they + at the homes of
various members, not in regularly
established meeting places. Draft
horses, the best in the country,
come from Amish. The customs of
the people are primitive in their
simplicity. No one eve thinks of
knocking at a neighbours door; they
just walk in. Travellers who come
through the community T taken
in and entertained, in literal inter
probation of the Scriptural injunc-
ton, and no one is permitted to re-
ceive pay for the entertainment.
The most curious of the customs of
this peculiar people is that relating
to its women. Married women wear
black caps, those who are engaged
go to church in brown headgear,
while the young girls proclaim the
fact that their affections are Olsen
gagged by dainty white bonnets.
There is considerable sense at the
bottom of this quaint custom, and
the social jealousies and heart burn.

Slang.

The use of slang has become SO COM
mon as to cease to u comment
among a large class of people, both old
and young. 1t is a habit to be condemn
ed, and n which girls and boys should
be induced to break. 1t is senseless,
degrading, and one which leads to a
much worse habit-the use of profanity
and obscenity. We think it would be
we'll to organize an antislang society.
Boys readily learn a class of low, vul-
gar words and expressions which are
never heard in respectable circles or
around the Preside. Some seem to think
these smart or remarkably funny, and
sometimes a girl SO far forgets her self
respect and maidenly purity as to be
guilty of the same thing. We cannot
imagine a decent girl using words or
expressions that she would not use be-
fore her mother and father.
Many of the slang phrases in COM
mon use are next to swearing, yet not
quite so wicked, but they lead to worse
language and fill the mind with evil
thoughts. A distinguished author says,
II resolved when I was a child never to
use a word which l could not pronounce
before my mother" He grew up to be
a pure minded father, noble and honor
ed gentleman. A clean mouth and q
pure heart will make men and women
whose pure lives will shine amid the
surrounding sin and darkness of life
like stars in the twilight sky. Take any
slang expression in common use, ana.
!yze it and see how utterly senseless.
Button up your mug" says one little
boy to another. "You cheese it your
SELF" he responds. Who of the uniniti-
ated could understand that sort Of Ian
guage? Slang words are of low origin,
coming from the lowest depths Of the
tace course, the prizefight ring, the sa-
loon and from sources even lower

They hurried silently along, Peter
instinctively taking the right way.
Neither dared to speak of the experience
he had just passed through and its be-
wildering termination. When they
reached Wayling's house, they discov-
cred the Hindoo was not behind them.

said Peter. LET us retrace our steps a
bit"
They did SO, calling his name softly.
At length a whispered answer was re-
ceived.
"Yes, sahib, 1 come" And breathless
from a swift run the Hindoo appeared
like a ghost beside them.

There is a man in Chicago who has

100000. Last month he bought the

of which $1,000 was paid in cash. and
the balance in stamps-the 100000
