A SeIf-winding watch.

The latest novelty in the line of
time-keepers will appeal to lazy and
forgetful people. Itconsists of a watch
that does not require any winding.
All that is necessary for its owner to
do in order to have the time with him
always is to walk half mile a day.
The watch does the rest. The wind
ing mechanism consists OF an ingenious
contrivance, causing small weight to
be raised and lowered by the jar of
walking. The motion of the weight
works a small rachel arrangement,
which winds the spring to its full ten
sion, and then is automatically held
until more winding is needed. A
course of shaking up and down for a
few minutes will answer the same
purpose IA a stroll afoot, while all the
jolts and jars of ordinary existence are
likewise made useful as means OF
winding.
THERE is a war on between the
breweries of Tacoma and Seattle, and
beer will flow like water.

Flowers Made of Rread.

The latest method of making
artificial flowers is from fresh bakers
bread. The materials required are
wire, bread, coloring matter and
knowledge of the process, now familiar
to only a few persons. The factory,
the only one at present, is in the West
End of London, and employs about
one hundred expert hands. According
to we'll known importer of artificial
flowers, this novel method is likely to
supersede all others so far as flowers to
be worn on the corsage are concerned.
Not only do these bread flowers look
exactly like the real article when
freshly made, but as the bread grows
stale the flowers assume slightly
withered appearance, which is almost
identical with that of natural flower
beginning to fade. Ofcourse, this faded
appearance never becomes very marked,
being just sufficient to overcome the
unnaturally bright and fresh appear
ance which is so Objectionable in the
ordinary artificial flower after being in
the heated atmosphere of ballroom
for several hours. The fading power
of bread" flowers practically insures
them against detection, even by the
eyes of an expert.
The roses range in price from SIS
to $S per dozen, and chrysanthemums
from $12 to $5, Violets, hyacinths, and
other small flowers come several dol
lars cheaper.

DEvILED RIBS OF BEEF.
"Takc the ribs from the top of an
ordinary rib roast, that portion usually
sawed by the butcher. Put them
aside to cool, next day cut them apart
leaving an equal proportion of meat
on each rib. Roll them in chopped
mushrooms, season well with salt and
pepper, dip in egg and then in bread
crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat.
Serve with a brown mushroom sauce.
These are much better if used the
same day on which the beef is roasted.
For that reason they are usually better
at hotel or restaurant than when
served ut home. In the summer, how
ever, when one is roasting n large
piece OF meat on Saturday for Sunday
the ribs may be taken off, devled and
served for Saturdays dinner, the
roast saved for Sunday. When meat
has once been allowed to cool after
either roasting or broiling it is rather
heavy when rewarmed in one place :;
is much better when chopped fine, and
made into boudins.

Some Great Enterprises.

1t will be remembered that DE Witt
Clinton, on October 26, 1925. opened
the Erie Canal, which had been con-
structed at cost of $7,000000, to
connect the lakes with tidewatcr, for
transporting the products of the West
to the seaboari. This canal, accord
ing to the Safety Valre, 1863 miles in
length, with y locks, had been built
in eight years, at a time when power
appliances for such work was almost
unknown.
The Suez Canal, 80 miles in length.
with its two harbors. was built by NJ.
de Lesseps i'll only ii years, at an ex-
penditure of $9O,OOO,OOO, although a
commission of engineers - English,
French and Austrian - pronounced
the work impracticable before it was
taken up by De Lesseps.
The Mount Gents Tunnel through
the Alps, eight miles in length, was
built in 13 years; and the St. Gothard
Tunnel, 81 miles long, also through
the Alps, was built in eight years at a
cost of Sl5,OOO,OOO.
The Hoosac Tunnel, four and three
quarter miles in length, was built in
IL years cost of $l4, 100000.
The Manchester Ship Canal, ex-
tending some "a miles along the river
Mersey, above tidewater, was COM
menced and finished within a rea-
sonable time at a cost of 100000.
And, last of all, the Kiel Canal, con-
Meeting the Baltic and North Seas,
was begun, promptly finished and put
into the service of commerce, which is
quick to make use OF it, no less than
1864 vessels having paid their toll to
pass through it in the last wear.

A Typewriter Register.

A novel improvement in typewriting
machines has recently been patented
by Robert Haines in Victoria, Australia.
1t consists of a small apparatus fastened
to any typewriter, which automatically
counts the number of words or letters
written on the machine, so that
operators who get paid according to
the number of words or pages do not
need to count their work after they
get through. The apparatus can be
adjusted to furnish either the number
of words, letters or lines.

hear yet stranger tongues and see things
more curious.
Turning our steps the first night to-
ward the East side we find there long
streets and whole blocks, where not a
word of English is ever spoken. Null
berry street one can easily imagine a
street in Rome. Italian faces, Italian
shops and Italian words-are all one sees
and hears. Six-story tenements stand like
gaunt tattered giants in the darkness
OF the dirty ,dimly lighted street. The
unwashed windows scarcely disclose any
evidence OF life within. Even the shops
are all dark now, but blurs of flaming
smoking torches at each corner show
that the saloons are still open. 1t is
moi yet late and there are plenty of peo-
pie on the streets. Children everywhere

Ex-senator Ransom, of North Caro-

Mexico, was seen at the Metropolitan

eliciting a single opinion or comment
from the veteran Tar Heel statesman
there has not been found the news

When the fight for Speaker of the

partisans of Crisp and Mills, Col Bill
Sterett undertook one night to get Sena-

OF the struggle. He approached the sub

Senator listened as though it was the
most important matter about which he
had ever been consulted. He agreed to
everything that Col Sterett said that

Tar 100 wary to make an explicit state
ment, though Sterett did all in his power
to draw him out.
Finally Col. Bill was left no other re-
course than to put the direct question:

you think will get the Speakership?"

=. BILLS POSSIBILITIES FOR
LLTULEFIELD-LIKE DEALS.
THE MEASURE WAS INF
Il Could Not Stand Ray Of Light and Died as
Soon as Its Intent Was nown--GoverHor
RusselI's Recoections and the
Wording of the Bill.

Last weeh we published interviews
with Judge Whitaker and Governor
Russell touching the introduction OF the
Moody bill introduced in the Legisla-
ture OF 1895 by State Senator Moody,
Of Haywood.
We also published the bill showing
that it was . scheme by which the entire
MANAGEMENT of the North Carolina
Railroad was to be placed in the
hands Of one Republican, who had all
power. The possibilities contained in
this bill for wrong were unlimited. and
when exposed at the time, the iniqui-
tous and infamous bill was killed. 1t was
30 bad that it could not stand ray
of light. The first beam of the sunlight
OF truth killed it dead.
The significant statement in Judge
Whitaker's interview was to contained in
these words of the interview:
Il never thought anything more about
it. After the adjournment Of the Legisla-
ture, in talking to Mr.. ]. @. l.. Harris
about the matter he told me that the
Moody bill was prepared by Judge Rus

and given to Mr.. Moody with the request
that he have it passed: that Mr.. Moody.

Hill: and that thereafter Judge RUSSELL
had no further interest in that bill.
Whereupon / remarked to Mr.. Harris
that / was surprised that Russell would
have had anything to do with such q bill.
because the knowledge of that fact was
calculated to destroy the confidence OF the
people and defeat him for amy office for
which he might run.
Harris then said that the bill was
worth at least one hundred thousand dol
lars to the proxy and that any man could
afford to retire upon that sum-"
Now how did Governor Russell @eet
the suggestion that he had a hand i'll
this nefarious scheme? We quote from
his own words, published last week:
81 happened one night during the ses-
sion of that legislature to go
into the Marlborough House for
supper and by chance found
( myself seated by Senator Moody, Dur
ing the course of the conversation, it de-
yeIoped that / had drawn the bill re-
ferred to when Moody speaking up sud
denly said, Give it to me; I'll introduce
it, Thus it was that it came to fall
into his hands. The next morning. l
went over to the capitol and as / entered
the Senate. there they were reading the
bill. When they got to the place where
blanks were left for proxies, the name
was read out of George II. Smathers
"The bill, introduced in the Legisla-
turc by Mr.. Moody in 1895, concern
ing the North Carolina Railroad. was
drawn in part by me and was intended
to break up the partisan control of that
railroad, then prevailing. aided IN
drawing it at the request of various
Republican and Populist legislators. so
far as / remember it was good bill for
the purpose that was in view. Isn't IT
about such bill as good Democratic
LAWYERS would have drawn for a good
Democratic legislature for the purpose OF
taking power from an opposition Gov.
ernor? As to the proxies my under
standing and intentions were that they
should be selected by the joint Repub-
lican and Populist caucuses. The idea
was to have three or five proxies. The
names were left blank to be filled N
after the caucus acted.
"Mr. Smathers' name was put in with
out my knowledge"
Mr.. Harris, though virtually charged
by Judge Whitaker with having stated
that there was zone hundred thousand
dollars to the proxy and that any man
could afford to retire upon that sum-
seeming to admit in the connection that
Judge Russell was in the deal-said to a
reporter that he had nothing to say.
Now, does Governor Russelrs answer
excuse him? Does it not rather tend to
confirm Judge Whitaker's suggestion
that the Governor expected to be the
proxy, and that when-he found the
name Of Mr.. Smathers had been placed
in the bill, he took no further interest in
it?
The Governor says that there were to
be proxies-more than one. We publish
herewith 4 fac smile of two sections Of
the bill showing that he was mistaken in
that. These two sections clearly show
that the contemplate was 20 turn tlis
