The South CaroIInlan.

The South Carolinian has always ar
rogated to himself the name Carolinian,
and he has never been on very familiar
terms with his northern neighbor His
feeling for his southern neighbor, the
Georgian, is also one Of mere tolerance,
for the latter has long been called the
southern Yankee and fairly deserves the
appellation. He has much Of the
shrewdness and push that mark the
typical down easter, and he has a
considerable share Of that worthy's
moral earnestness. In addition he has a
good deal of the Virginian's geniality
and love of comfort, of the North Caro-
linian's unpretending democracy and Of
the South Carolinian's tendency to ex-
hibitions of fiery temper
But over and above everything elso he
has an honest and hearty and not un.
founded pride in Georgia. and sort of
Masonic afiliation with every person,
animal, institution, custom-in short,
thing-that can be called Georgian. he
may not always stand for culture. but
he does always stand for patriotism,
state and national. He loves success,
strength, etraightforwardness and the
solid virtues generally-neither is he
ayerse 10 the snowy ones-but above all
he loves virtue in action. Though pos.
sessed of strong, clear intellect, he is
more particularly man Of five senses,
of which be makes as good use as he
can. He may not always taste the
sweetness or see the light Of the highest
civilization, but he has a good healthy
appetite for life w. p. Trent in AT.

First Thermometer.

The first thermometer was made in
1921 by Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted Of a
tube filled with air, closed at its upper
end. and dipping at its other extremity,
which was open, in a bottle of nitric
acid diluted with water. As the tenn
perature rose OF fell the air in the tube
increased OF grew less in volume, and
consequently the liquid descended or
rose. This instrument is now known as
an air thermometer, but as its measure
ments were based on no fixed principle
it was of little use.

CASHIER MISSING.
An Examination of His Books Shows .
Shortage of @12,43O.S6.


BETHLEHEM, Pa Feb. &C. e. Breeder,
cashier of the First National bank of Beth
lehem, is missing, and the examination Of
his books by an expert shows a shortage Of
S12, ,430. Sc. The directors of the bank held
meeting last night at which it was de
veloped that in the latter part of last year
il was decided to have yearly audit of
the books of the bank by an expert. AS "A
result, Wednesday Of this week was set
apart as the day TO begin the work. Cash
Ter Breeder was seen on Tuesday as usual,
but that same night he left town. The ex-
animation showed that the amount was
taken in small sums and extended over a
period of 10 years. The directors an
nounce that the defalcation will not affect
the bank in the least, as there is a surplus
of $7l, 900 on hand, and the profit and loss
account shows a balance of S42 900, max
ing a total surplus of over 500, 600.
Breeder has been connected with the
bank since its organization, in 1852, and
has been the trusted cashier of the institu-
tion for over 20 years.
He took along with him one month 5
salary, amounting TO $3.50 He told his
wife he had resigned and was going TO
New y York to look for work. That was the
last seen or heard of him. He was not
known to speculate or dabble in stocks
and lived quietly, with no attempt at dis
play. The news of his disappearance and
the shortage in his accounts occasioned
considerable surprise, and his most inti-
mate friends say that his nature is such
that he will die before he will face dis
grace. The general belief is that he has
fled only to commit suicide

CONSUMPTION.
rhs Conditions which Invite Foothold
OF This Dread Disease.

OF This Dread Disease.
The germs Of this disease cannot OBJ
tain foothOld until the resistive pow
ers of the tissues have been reduced.
There must be not only the seed, but the
soil. This impaired power Of resistance
may be the result of heredity, and this
influence in the causation of disease is
seldom shown TO better advantage than
in the history of consumption There
have been instances in which n single
case introduced into u long and sound
ancestry has vitiated the stock forever
How unfortunate that such matters
are so little considered in marrying and
giving in marriagel Ii is not that the
disease is inherited, but the vulnerable
tissues the feeble resistive powers, rem
der the offspring an easy prey TO the
ubiquitous bacillus. This weakness often
shows itself by tendency TO become i'll
from slight causes, sickliness not by
any means to be confounded with merely
a lack of robustness or strength. One
organ or part of the body, frequently
the mucous membrane, is usually more
prone to become affected, and the begin
ming of the disease can often be traced
to an attack of some slight ailment
Not only the children of consumptive
parents may show these characteristics
but also those Of parents generally en-
feebled, or whose ages are widely sepa-
rated, or who are closely related by blood
OF of mother who has previously borne
number in quick succession. Even
when heredity is sound the same condi-
tion is sometimes induced by coddling,
by improper feeding, by attacks Of acute
disease or by want and distress. In
growing children bad carriage of body
may act injuriously by contracting and
deforming the chest The stopped posi-.
tion which boys sometimes assume IN
bicycle riding should be discouraged foi
this reason. William L. Russell, M.
D., in Popular Science Monthly.
