No More Slaughter in War.

A great humanitarian exists in the
person of Simon Paylowsli, poor Pol
ish chemist of Warsaw. He has invent
ed a gas which is forced into a she'll
made of gelatin. This gas is a powerful
anesthetic. If the shells are used in
the wars of the future there need be
no more deaths or mutilations on the
battlefield. When the shells burst in
the ranks Of the foe the freed gas will
permeate the atmosphere and lull the
enemy into is hours sleep. Their

able, their sleeping bodies NAV be 70

course they greatly injure the plants
they feed upon, and therefore many
plants are in one way or another pro-
tected against such attacks.
Did you ever stop to think why this
ties are so well-armed with sharp
prickles, or why the ugly roadside net
ties are furnished with singing hairs?
Notice cattle grazing in a field where
thistles or nettles grow; see how care
full they are to let those disagreeable
plants alone. That is the reason for
the stings and the spines. See this
honey-locust tree bristling with its hor-
rid array of three-pointed thorns?
What animal is brave enough to try to
rob it of its leaves or great pods? Haw-
thorns, too, and rosebushes, and black
berry briars, all have their sharp little
swords and daggers to defend them
selves against browsing animals.
Out on the wide hot deserts of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico those odd plants,
the cacti, grow in great numbers. Some
OF them take strange shapes-tall, fluted
columns, branching candelabra, or mere
round balls, like the melon-cactus.
They are almost the only plants that
grow in some parts of that country.
and there is always plenty of sap in
side their tough skins. To the hungry
and thirsty creatures that roam those
aIeary wastes in search of food and
water they are very tempting. Were
they not in some way protected these
cacti would soon be entirely destroyed.
But nature has made them to be like
strong forts or great armored battle
ships among plants. They are guard
ed by all sorts of sharp spines and
prickles and fine hairs that burn when
they get into the flesh.

Sudden Death.

Fanny Mayfield, colored woman
employed at Massenburg's Hotel, died
suddenly at an early hour Monday
morning. She had gone into Mrs.
Massenburg's room for something and
fell PROSTATE on the floor soon after
entering. When those in the room
reached her side she was unconscious
and died in short while after being
removed. Fanny was a competent
and faithful servant, loyal to duty and
honest in character, and was trusted
and respected as few Of her race are.
She had been with Mrs. Massenburg
sixteen years and the love she bore for
"Miss Carrie and the fidelity with
which she served her always was only
equalled by the perfect confidence and
reliance reposed in the servant by the
mistress.
Mr.. Massenburg procured a hand
some coffin and the dead woman was
given decent burial Tuesday, quite a
number of white people following her
body to the grave. Fanny Mayteld
filled we'll her sphere in life and SO
lived that she gained the respect and
good will of all who knew her. She
will be greatly missed and the pity Is
that there are not more like her TO take
her place.

The OpCn Season.

An important quality of advertising
is timeliness. The advertisement
which tells best in the local newspaper
is the one that i, aimed at some want
of the day. Autumn brings whole
brood of human needs. 1 is the open
season not only for the game hunter,
but for the house hunter, the bargain
hunter, etc; and the publicity which
is accurately leveled at these will be
sure to hear from them the same day.

As to Advertising.

The advertisement has come to be
one of the very most interesting fea-
lures of the newspaper. Men and
women read the advertisements quite
as much as they read the news columns.
Both read them for business reasons,
and no advertiser offers bargain in
the modern newspaper that it is not
Immediately snapped up. This is the
result of change of method. In for
mer years the merchant put his adver-
tisement in the local newspaper and it
gave his name and announced that he
kept constantly on hand large and
well-selected stock of dry-goods, groce-
ries, hardware, general merchandise
and everything usually kept in a first
class store. This conveyed nothing
that the community did not already
know perfectly well, and this adver-
tisement stood from one years end to
another, an off'ense to the eye, and
source Of no profit to the advertiser.
All this has been changed. The busi-
ness man now presents a specific ar
tice or articles to the public, and the
public is always on the lookout for
them. Advertising, from being gen.
eral, has become special, and it has so
| much the element of news, and has
such an intensely practical side, that
no newspaper reader feels that he or
she has gotten the worth of the paper
unless the advertising columns have
been read. This is one of the evolu-
tons of the times, and one of the fea-
lures Of this practical and resourceful
age.-Charlotte Observer.
