THIRTY-Slx MEN
Are Wanted by Capt. BOwles
to Bring His Company
Up to the Limit.
A Recruiting Agent From the Com.
pany viii Soon b Here to
Muster the Boys Into
Service.

Last week mention was made of the
fact that all companies now in the U. s.
service not having full complement OF
1O6 men would be Immediately recruited
up to that number.
The Scott Dragons, the Hillsboro
Company, needs thirty. six more recruits
to complete their roster.
Capt. Bowles was desirous of having
his company recruited entirely from
Highland county, and last week wrote
to that effect to A. E. Hough, and au.
thorized him to take the names of any
here who might wish to enter the service.
Besides the thirty.six that Company
F will be enabled to take Capt Bowles
stated that he could find places for about
one hundred among the other compan.
les of the regiment. Naturally, any who
wish to enter the service from Highland
county would prefer to join the home
company, and in the event that there
will be over thirty.six names presented,
those who first presented their names
will be allowed this reference.
1t is to be hoped that Highland county
will at least be able to offer the number
desired to fill her company to the full
limit, and all thoce who are desirous Of
going to war are requested to at once
send their names to Mr.. Hough, who
will notify them when the recruiting
agent arrives
Remember, those who get their names
in early will be mustered into Company
F. Don't delay.
Twenty. names have already been
left with Mr.. Hough and any who wish
to join Co. F should at once send in
their names.

Silk from Shellhs;l.

That silk may be produced from Ger.
tain mussels or shells is a fact known,
but only recently renewed attention
was called to the matter by the receipt
by the Berlin Royal Museum of pair
of golden-brown silk gloves, made Of
byssus silk. This silk is obtained from
the small silky tufts protruding from
the byssus shell, which they use for
holding fast to the ground rock under
water. This fibre is silky and changes
in color from greenish yellow to dark
brown. The single threads are from
two to three inches long, and after be-
ing cleaned and dried they are spun
into yarn. Byssus silk woven into
material is still a great curiosity, for
the supply of material is so scarce that
industrial development of the manu-
facture Is out of the question. Only
in certain small settlements on the
coast of Sicily there is some effort to
work with this material, the shell used
being the so-called Pima. Fishermen
tear the shells with nets from the
rocks, and, after cutting the tufts, re
turn them Into basins of shallow
water; the tuft will grow again with
in year. 1t takes between 5000 and
1000 shells to obtain a pound of fibre.

Sneaking Clocks.

In Switzerland they have comnenc-
ed making Photographic clocks and
watches which, it appears, leave any
thing heretofore accomplished far in
the shade. By merely pressing the
button Of the new time-piece it pro-
nounces the hour distinctly. The
alarms call the sleeper: ITS six
o'clock; get up" There are some
which even add the words: 'Now,
don't go to sleep again." The form
can be changed to suit the buyer ana
make the warning more or less en-
phatic. This application of the pho
geographic principle is due to a French
matchmaker settled in Geneva. He
introduces into clocks and watches lit
tie slabs OF yulcaniZed rubber. on
which the desired words are traced In
grooves corresponding to the hours
and fractions of hour

Ruskin and the Segcar.

When RuSkin was at Rome there
was a beggar on the steps of the Pin
clio who begged of him every day as
he passed, and who always received
something. On one occasion the CRATE
full beggar SUDDENLY caught the out
stretched hand and kissed 1t. Mr..
Ruskin stopped short. drew his hand
hastily away. and then, with a sud
den impulse, bending forward, kissed
the beggar's cheek. The next day the
man came to Mr.. Ruskin's lodging to
End him, bring gift, which he offered
with tears in his eyes. 1t was a relic,
he said; a shred of brown cloth which
had once formed part of the robe of
St. Francis.

The BOYLESS TOWN.
/ cross old woman of long ago

A cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise;
THE town would be so pleas SAINT, You
know,
If only there were no boys"
She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then of a sudden the town grew still
For all the boys had fled.
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't a boy in view;
The baseball lot, where they used TO meet,
Was a sight TO make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base
And the paths that the runners made,
For there wasn't soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the livelong day;
Why should they bark or leap?
There wasn't a whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein:
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only dull refrain.
The cherries rotted and went to waste;
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had a single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't messenger boy-not one,
To speed as such messengers can;
Ii people wanted their errands done
They sent for messenger man.
There was little, 1 ween, of frolic and
noise;
There was less of cheer and mirth:
The sad old town, since il lacked its boys,
Was the dreariest place on earth.
The poor old woman began to weep.
Then awoke with n sudden scream:
Dear mer' she cried, Il have been asleep:
And oh, what dreadful dream!'

actual danger had entered his head
so full of his fair bride-to- be-untii sud.
and caused him to wonder whence the
sound proceeded. Another instant and
there flashed across his brain the horri-
bic reality. A train was coming. from
which direction he could not tell but
certainly coming, and if the tunnel
proved much longer the fact was un.
deniable that he should be crushed be-
meath the iron monster there alone in
the darkness, and no one would know
his fate. He listened, laying his ear to
the rail; it was coming in the rear HO
quickeIied his steps-hc ran-ran as
rapidly as he dared for fear of mis-
step which would hinder instead of ad-
vance bis ends.
Now the roar comes nearer; he can
imagine the train as it is tearing along
carrying death to him. He thinks each
individual hair Is standing on end. The
sweat pours down his face, and still
this darkness, still this louder roar Of
the engine rs it comes steadily nearer
and nearer, and his strength is nearly
exhausted.

what hope it inspires. He thinks Of
the races he has won Mt college, and
determines to take fresh start. Yes,
he will run as if running 4 race, and
forget the huge monster behind him
which seems to paralyZe his limbs and
prevent all motion; he will rln, run
he must win-how terrible the result if
he does not! He thinks Of Lula, his
sweetheart, his wife that was to have
been. Shall he ever see her again?
The light ahead grows more and
more distinct, but his strength is going,
and the train behind is rushing on fast;
it seems quite close now: he can almost
feel its breath upon him; still he runs.
Another moment and he will have
gained or lost-which? He must make
that short space! What thing it is,
this being face to face with death, He
cannot hold out much longer; he feels
he must lOSe-and what then? But no
he will make one more effort. He
clears the tunnel, leaps from the track,
and falls headlong down the bank on
the side, saved-but unconscious, while |
the heavily loaded freight train passes |
by. Il

Duke Carlton regained consciousness |
he was lying on seat in the depot in
the village for which he had started |
some hours before.
He was not seriously injured. His
fall had but stunned him, and in an
hour he was quite ready to proceed on
his journey, little pale. it is true, and
shaky in the lower extremities, but
otherwise rejoicing that he had suct
ceeded In his quest. and would be in
time for his wedding, with thirty min

Duke Carlton does not believe in the
theory that persons hair turns white
in a night from sudden fright or sor-
row, for his own raven locks show not
a trace of silver; and surely no one ever
had q more terrible fright or a narrow
ar escape than did he on his wedding
lay. when he ran a race for his BRIDE

It Makes q Difference,

A New York surgeon, connected with
one Of the postgraduate medical schools
OF that city, was one day on the point
OF lancing a felOn for one of the stu
dents. young Southern physician. The
patient paled at sight of the knife. "It
won't hurt" observed the surgeon,
with sympathetic smile. Il sometimes
think" he added, that it is well for a
surgeon to feel the point of the knife
ut least once in his life.
Il saw my first hospital service in
this city with DIR. S." he went on "and
no better surgeon was there to be
found in America. He had large dis
pensary clinic, and raely a day passed
that one or more cases of felon did not
appear.
" 1t won't hurt was always his COM
forting assurance to the patient.
THE old doctor was very irritable If
patient made any outcry or bother
over the lancing of felOn. Put your
finger down there indicating the edge
of the table, 'and keep stillr he com
manded; and, truth to tell, patients, as
rule, made little fuss.
Time passed on, and in the muta-
tiOnS of life DR.. s. had felon on his
left forefinger, and it was a bad one.
He pOulticed it and fused with it for
about week. and walked the floor
with pain at night. AT last it became
uncomfortable, and he went to his assist
ant surgeon and said, nervOusly:
Il say, doctor, VIII you take look
at my finger?'
The assistant surgeon looked, and
remarked, gravely, That ought to have
been lanced before
'Possibly-but--' said DR.. S.: and
then, with long breath, Perhaps
you'd better lance it now.'
Certainly said the assistant sur
geon. Put your finger on the table
"Dr. S. complied. and with a face as
white as paper watched the knife. BE
GENTLE he cautioned; that's an awful
sore fingerr
SIT won't hurt remarked the as
sistant surgeon, and the sharp steel de-
scended.
There was a howl of agony from
Dr. s., and with his finger in his other
hand he danced about the room crying,

Why remarked the assistant sur
geon. 4 have heard you tell patients
hundreds of times that it didn't hurt TO
lance felon.'

Why ShiDs DEFY LIGHTNING.

The reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed by German
authorities to the general use which
is now made of wire rope for rigging
purposes, as well as to the fact that
the hulis of ships are usually. con-
structed of iron or steel. Thus the
whole ship forms an excellent and con-
tinuous conductor, by means of which
the electricity is led away into the
ocean before it has time to do any seri
