PHRENOLoGY. WHAT Is IT?

Webster defines IL as the science OF
the mind, or supposed organs OF
thought. In order to get before the
reader, the subject above named, |
would say man is what we may call a
compound being. BY this mean be is
an animal, moral, intellectual being.
All three Of these natures were given
by our Heavenly Father for man s com
fort, happiness and enjoyment; not one
single one OF these natures excepted. l
propose 20 give definition of these ma
lures. | shall commence with the ami
NAL or lower grade first. Phrenologists
call this nature amativcness. n few
things compose this nature and only "A
few. We find, when man was first made,
the Heavenly Father placed him in the
garden where everything that was nec-
essary for his enjoyment and happiness
was placed before him and at his dis
posal, and we supposed everything tina,
was necessary at that time, was in the
garden. We find that Adam possessed
the nature To pervcrt Gods law. He
only gave him one single law, "The day
you eat you shall surely die" but man
was respited, for he lived hundreds oi
years after.
Great many now know II they per-
vert Gods law they suffer or must suf'
fer punishment for SD doing. As time
developed mans desires or his animal
nature seemed To increase and hence
we find everything the Heavenly fa'
Their made, was made for mans enjoy
ment, happiness and comfort. That
being the case man must have nature
given him for the enjoyment of al
those blessings, hence we see why those
natures was given us.
II you will read the 9th chapter Of
the Catalan letter and Sd chapter OF
Colossians and many others in the New
Testament, you will soon find where
the devil resides. 1t not Is some great
incomprehensible something that
doesn't speak or make signs, but is a
perversion OF that nature God has Civ
en- us for good and We make evil. We
say perversion OF any or all OF them
YOU may call the devil, Satan, or oppos-
err, for devil means nothing more than
opposing what Is right to think.
That God, our Heavenly Father
would make man and then make an OPP
poser to get man to sin is most pre-
posterous idea to me to make all and
everything for mans happiness and last
of all TO send his son TO die for man.

CRAB ORCHARD.


Joe Newland represents the Danville
Steam Laundry now.
Asylum Inspector Lester was in Crab
Orchard the past week investigating a
little whisky bill that was paid by the
State.
The colored folks are holding a great
revival at their Baptist church. IT'S
said the white people attend better than
their own church; at least some OF
them.
A very good way to make Building &
Loan Associations close doors is for ev-
cry body to make application for with
drawal, as it seems they are doing in
Crab Orchard.
Ii is still a mystery whose goods are
to be sold in Crab Orchard by Col. j.
p. Chandler Friday and Saturday, next.
Everybody is guessing. A good way
to find out is to wait and see.
Mrs. Napier, Of haywood, is visiting
her son, Mr.. Tom Napier and family.
Mr.. Singleton Novels, of Wheelers,
Va, is here to attend the trial of Frank
Brooks for killing John Novels.
Crab Orchard is noted as being the
only place where people can live with
out work and judging from the number
Of shipments Of household goods receiv-
ed at the depot a number must have
found it out.
Charley Slaughter, who went to
Flomaton, Ala, to take position with
the l.. & n. II. r., was seized with
bleeding at the lungs on his arrival
there and was not able to be brought
home until Friday, when his brother,
Jim, came with him. He is very low,
with but slight chance for his recovery.
Jim is doing well as chief clerk and ex-
press agent for the l.. x n. at Fiona
ton. He returned to his office Satur.

there to close the months business.
Mr.. A. II. Basin went to Lexington
! the past week and returned home sick
and is still confined to his bed. Mrs
NJ. X. Pollock, who was stricken with
paralysis the early part Of the winter
at the residence OF Mrs. Napier, AT
haywood, was able TO come to her
daughters, Mrs. Peasants, at Crab Or.

FERTILIZERS.-Mr. A. ID. McNair,
OF Dansville, n. Y, delivered a lecture
on commercial fertilizers here Friday.
He pointed out that a complete fertili-
ger or guano, is made by mixing GER
tain raw materials, like nitrate of soda,
acid phosphate and muriate of potash,
which contain nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash respectively. He show
ed that plants, like animals, require a
properly balanced food in order to thrive
best. II is necessary, therefore, for the
farmers to consider carefully the COM
/ position of their fertilizers. The aver
age fertilizer, he asserted, was deficient
I in potash, of which it should contain at
least six per cent. Farmers often find
it profitable to apply about 100 pounds
of muriate of potash in addition TO the
fertilizers they buy. For certain crops
like peas and clover, he said that no
nitrogen is necessary, because those
plants have the valuable property OF
absorbing this costly ingredient from
the air, thus saving the farmera large
expense. To grow big crops of peas
and clover it is advisable to fertilize
them with about 100 to $50 pounds mu-
rate of potash and 300 to 400 pounds OF
acid phosphate per acre. For corn, wheat
potatoes and timothy, it would be nee
essary to add nitrogen. Every farmer
therefore, would do well to grow clover
or peas in his rotation.

A Great Circus.

The circus at Rome was a grand af-
fair, and the sports therein exhibited
were worthy Of so great place.
Titus exhibited 5000 beasts in one
day. Adrian had 1000 slaughtered on
his birthday. Commodus killed several
thousand with his own hand. The EN-
peror Gordian, besides showing 100 At
rican beasts and 1000 bears ON one
day, had temporary wood planted in
the circus and turned into it 400 stays,
80 wild horses, 100 wild sheep, 100
bulls, 800 ostriches, 100 wild boars
400 ibises, 200 deer and other animals
The people were then allowed to enter
the wood and help themselves Protus
initiated this, but put in l, 200 animals
where his predecessor had placed 100.
Pliny says that Claudius had an i'm
mense boa constructor killed in which a
child was found entire. Another boa,
90 cubits in length, was exhibited in
the Forum. All these beasts fought
with each other and with men, One
emperor, Gordian, had 800 pairs of
gladiators exhibited, fighting, in one
day. Nero made 80 knights fight to
the death and arranged contest be-
tween 400 senators and 600 knights.
Naval engagements were sometimes
exhibited in the circus, which could
'ly be filed with water. Caesar had
a lake dug in which galleys, represent
ing the Tyrian and Egyptian fleets, en-
gagged in a mimic battle, employing q
vast number of men.

SOME VERY OLD TOYS,
what Young Folk PLAYED with
Long Ago.

The Dolls Of Ancient Egypt-what Has
Been Dug Out Of the Ruins of Tbebes
Records of the Home Life Of ChudreD
Thousands of Years Ago.
The dusky faced children in the far
away land of Egypt petted and loved
coils 5000 years ago Just as muoh az
the children Of our own land do TODAY
a young traveller in Paris once said:
= Mamma, l can't understand anybody
but the dear little dogs They don't
talk French; they speak for sugar Just
like our Flossy"
just so, we can always understand a
little girl talking to her doll even if we
do not know word that she SAYS No
doubt these Egyptian little mothers
dressed and undressed them and put
them to bed and played sick" and
coaxed or punished with quite as much
comfort as any small maiden in America
today.
The Egyptian doll merchants kept an
other kind of doll painted with bright
staring colors to catch the eyes of very
little children and babies. But have
no doubt that these ugly black dolls with
round, white eyes were banged and bat
tered about with great satisfaction by
the chubby Egyptian tots. You know
that the longer dolly is kept and the
worse she looks the more your little sis
tiers love her

bear for an ornament, looking as II a
North American Indian had fashioned
her, was a greater prize than ever after
the head was gone.
Do you wonder how we know what
they played with, these faraway ohil-
dren so long dead and forgotten?
The old tombs of their land tell the
story of their everyday lives. Their toll
and recreation, their feasts, concerts and
their pleasure excursions are indicated
in the painted sculpture, and of course
in these records of home life the chill
dren have their place.
Beside these stone records there are
others more easily understood by I'M
learned people. The old belief Of this
people was that the souls of the dead
wandered for ages in unknown worlds
and in unknown forms before coming
back to the bodies they had on earth. 1t
was to cheer the dear ones upon these
dreary Journeys that they placed in their
tombs the familiar home objects that
they had used and loved. There were
his arms for the soldier, the books for
the priest, the needlework for the wives,
the toilet case for the belle and the toys
for the children.
The bodies were embalmed or pre-
pared by aromatic spices and swathed
in costly wrappings to preserve them
till the return of the soul NO doubt
many of you in our great towns have
seen In museums these mummies, as
thew are called, for sadly, enough, after
all the care taken to keep them they
have been found by curious travellers
and carried to the uttermost parts OF the
earth. In one of the worlds fairs, "
IN the department of Peru, were many
mummies from South America, with
collection of strange articles from the
tombs. When the bodies are taken' the
ouaint and curious objects found with
them form part of the spoil. Very few
