Do Not Use Big Words.

In promulgaling your esoterlc
cogitalions, and in ar'icu;atins
your superficial sen'imen'a'''ies,
amicable, philosophical or psyche
logical observations, beware OF
platitudinous ponderosity. Let
your conversational communica-
tious possess a clarified concise
ness, compacted comprehensl-
bleness, a coalescent consistency,
and a concatenating cogency.
Eschew all conglomerations OF
fiatuleut garrulity, iejuned bob
blemert, and asinine affections.
Let your extemporaneous expatla-
tions have intellieibility and
yeracious vivacity without rho
domontade or thrasonical bombast.
Seduluously avoid all polysyllabie
profundi,y, pompous proIlxi'y,
psittaceous vacuity, ventriloqmal
verbosity, grandiloquent vapldi'y.
Shun double ententeS, prurlen'
jocosity, and pestiferous profanity,
obscurani aud apparent. In other
words, talk plainly, briefly, na'n-
rally, sensibly, purely and truth
fully. Keep from slang; cont put
on airs; saywhat you mean; mean
what you say, and don't uee big
words.

The truth is there IS much more
war in the newspapers nowadays
than anywhere else. Civilized peo-
pie don't like war and civilized
governments no longer seek it.
Most controversies now are pri
marily commercial, and they are
to be settled like disputes among
gentlemen, by polite discussion
and agreement, and not after the
manner of rowdies, with bad Ian,

FIRST ROCK SALT MINE.
It's Discovery Was the Result Of Accident
Rathcr Than Design.

It's Discovery Was the E.srIt Of Accident
Rathcr Than Design.
II really believe that many of the
greatest discoveries are the result of
pure accident, and this applies not
only to scientific facts, but also to
more material Matters" remarked
General Dudley Avery. Accident
brought tho great salt deposit on
Avery's island to light after its
groupings had been worked for
nearly half century. My grand
father sold salt years before the
war, and my father in his youth fol
lowed the same methods Of produc-
ton, even after his fathers time.
but il remained for my brother
John, then boy of 16, to really
make manifest the remarkable adj
vantagcs which the island possessed
in the matter of rock salt mining.
1t was during the war. Salt was
selling in New Orleans for $11 a
sack. This was at period when
the salt works of the island were
not being made use of. You see,
my grandfather manufactured salt
by digging wells, into which tho
salt water flowed in great quanti-
ties, and this water he bCiled, evap-
Grating the moisture and causing a
residue of fine salt.
when my brother learned Of the
high price Of salt in New Orleans.
he went to my father, then prac-
ticing law in Baton Rouge, and sug-
gcsted that he be given permission
to work the then abandoned wells
and make pin money for himself.
There was no objection, and with
the assistance of several slaves John
proceeded to open the old wells by
clearing out the accumulation Of
debris and boiling the brine, as hiss
grandfather had done years before
him.
He opened a number of new
wells and was soon selling salt at a
great rate, but the demand increased,
and he decided to open big well
some 10 feet square. The work pro
ceeded, but the usual depth was
reached with no result. The water
did not flow. He concluded to dig
deeper, and at 16 feet came upon
what the negro diggers said was an
old stump. Failing to chop the
stump with an ak, the negro con-
cluded he had struck bed Of rock,
and when my brother descended in
to the excavation he managed, with
a cold chisel, to cut out piece OF
what he thought was transparent
rock. My father, however, who
happened to be OH the island at the
time, knew what had been discov-
cred, and in the course of little
while the wonder of the discovery
had been noised all over the country.
"Thus was discovered the first
rock salt deposit in the south, and a
few months after that time dozen
shafts were being worked in a crude
way, and we were shipping salt to
Richmond in great quantities, at
least great for that period in the
worlds history. Work has pro-
gressed almost steadily since that
time and we are shortly to begin a
new shaft, which will go deeper
than ever-in fact drop beneath the
old workings. although this is not
necessary, because we can tap the
deposit where we choose. New

MIXED IN IDAHO.
Dubois Friends Unseated in the Lower
House.

Boise, Idaho, January 1.-THE lower
house Of the Legislature today unseated
two Dubois members from Bingham
county. The Democrats voted for their
retention. The ground upon which this
was done was alleged irregiIlarity in
printing the names OF candidates on
two ballots. This point had been de-
cided by the supreme court in opposl-
tion to the stand taken by the house.
A singular fact is that the governor and
several OF the state officers had their
names on two tickets and the same
conditions prevailed on other county
tickets. II Is claimed by Dubois
friends that today's action will react in
his favor.
