from Richmond, by Lynchburg, to
Southwestern Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee, was perhaps as we'll
known and as much travelled as any

Upon one occasion Henry CLAW, on

known as -Apromattox Courthouse,
Mr.. Clay concluded, after arriving
az the home of his friend, to spend
several days there, and rest himself,
as we'll as his horse, before resuming
his journey home.
His friend, Colonel b., anxious to
show his distinguished guest every
courtesy possible, entertained him
royalty, and on the morning before
he left took him over his farm, of
which he was very proud, and at
tentively pointed out to him the va
rious fields, woods, etc. He then
waited, evidently, for some comment
from Mr.. Clay. Mr.. Clay, however,
though desiring to say something
complimentary, hardly knew what
remark to make, and, upon the spur
OF the moment, scarcely thinking
what construction might be put upon
his words, said:
Il think, Colonel b., that your
farm is admirably suited for sheep
raising"
:" l am delighted to hear you say
that, Mr.. Clay" Colonel b. replied
"and why do you think my farm is
so we'll adapted to the raising of
sheep?"
Well," replied Mr.. Clay, "there
is saying in Kentucky that the fat
test sheep are raised upon the short
est grass, and | think you have the
shortest grass here that | have ever
seen in my life"
And now | understand that some
man has bought 5000 acres of land

THE TEREDO AND TIE CABLE
An Atlantic cable has, fortunately,
few animal enemies, though In the
English channel, the Irish sea, and
the North sea the toredo, the special
cable pest of the Mediterranean,

BILE little mollusk," as the cable men
call it, first made itself a reputation
by eating up wooden ship hulks I'M
til builders took to plating them
with iron, and by burrowing into
the dykes in Holland until the whole
country was threatened with inun-
datiOn. When the cable came, it
took to it at once. 1t wrigglcs its
way in between the steel wires of
the most tightIy-wrapped core and
eats away the jute and guttapercha
until there is nothing but a wire
skeleton left. Happily, however,
as already indicated, our own par
ficular cable has little to fear from
the teredo, and the best wish we can
give it as it lies at the bottom of the
Atlantic is that it may never have a
history, and that the time may be
long before the Farady sees it aga in

to the doctor for some medicine
After the doctor had examined him,
he handed him a bottle OF medicine,
saying: "It is one and sixpence, and

Well, you can have the bottle

Then the Irishman said, "Thanks ;

you the balance due you"
When he got home he said to his
wife, " Maggie, l won't take any
medicine tonight I'll go to bed"
Next morning he got into tub of
cold water, and, shivering with cold,
shouted. Maggie, Maggie, bring
me the medicine. If I've got to do

THE world is full of people who
live beyond their means, and from
year to year some one pays IA portion
of their rent, grocery, dry goods and
all other bills. They are civilized
barbarians, who forage in civiliza-
ton, and they are found in all grades
of society. The causes vary, but
the principal one is the attempt to
keep up appearances. The misery
that comes upon people because of
their living beyond their means is
enormous

FAMILY likenesses are clearly
brought out by age. Take your own
circle for illustration. If YOU are
old enough to semember the parents
Of any Of your friends or relatives
you will notice that as they in turn
grow old the family likeness crops
out. There are, of course, some peo-
pie who have the general features
and appearances of their parents,
and in many cases of both father and
mother, though in most cases of but
one, and that quite likely of the
father, in their youth and through
life. There are others, though, who
have none of the marked family
likencsses until they reach an adj
vanced age. BY this | mean fifty
years or SO. In many cases persons
have shown in their faces none of
the family likenesses until they
reached very advanced ages, and it
grows more and more marked as
they leave the mile-stones of ages
behind them.

THE VERY EARLIEST COIN.-No
one knows when or where the origi-
nal coin was struck" or what metal
was nsed. Certain passages in Ho-
mer would lead to the inference that
brass was coined as early as the year
llS4 B. c.; tradition affirms that the
Chinese had bronze coins as early as
the year ll2O b. G. But Herodotus,
the acknowledged " Father of His
tory" Is of the opinion that the
Lydians invented" coins some
time during the ninth century B. G..
One of the oldest coins now known
is gold daric, coined by the Per-
slams during the reign Of Darius.
On one side of the coin is a bust of
Darius, and on the other side fig
ure of kneeling archer.

TIE severest test Of manhood is
never found in good times, but only
in hard times. 1t is not the man
who has success when others arc do
ing well, but is the man who keeps
up his courage and struggles on
when verybody is wavering or going
down who is the hero i'm the sight of
God and man. 1t is an easy matter
to make good time when wind and
tide are in one's favor, or when one
is moving with the current, but it
requires character and skill ana dar-
ing to make headway in spite of op-
posing forces or to work successfully
against the current.

too honest to succeed. Don't Judge
man by the house he lives in, for
