The House, usually so noisy, is these
days a quLet and orderly body of men.
business first and talk afterwards
seems to belts motto, and it is living up
to it.
Now and then the talker takes the bit
in his teeth and spurts away for
short distance. but he is soon brought
down on his launches and business pro-
ceeds
For three solid hours yesterday the
lower branch of the General Assembly
heard reports on bills, introduced new
bills and enacted bills into law With
the exception of one bill-fre insurance
rate-there was little discussion.
or course all the debate that is ne
cessary for the proper consideration of
a measure is allowed-no more. When
u bill comes up the ,introducer Of it may
explain it, if he likes, or member Of
the committee to whom it was referred
give the reasons that influenced the COM
mittee in making a favorable or unfa-
yorable report, as the case may be.
This usually settles it. If 1t does not
the discussion goes on us long as Is alb
solutely necessary, no longer.
In short. there is no talking in this
Legislature for "buncombe."
| think the sentiment of the House
was expressed yesterday by Mr.. Justice,
at meeting of the Judiciary committee.
The question of fees to go to county
officers for registering and probating GER
tain instruments had been discussed at
great length. and the committee was still
pretty equally divided on the subject.
We'll take the matter to the House
and there settle it," suggested one mem
Der.
Il beg of you not to do that" said Mr..
Justice. 1T will cost the State of North
Carolina $1,000 for us to discuss this
matter there"
Yes" suggested some one elet. 1T
cost about that much to discuss that in
surance matter to-day, az we don't
want to repeat the experiment"
And so it goes. The House is a body
of strong men-as good mer. morally and
intellectually as there are in the State
and they are here to transact the public
business. The people of North Caro-
lima sent them here expecting great
things of them, and so far they have
given no cause for disappointment.

In discussion describes the finding OF
fifty human skeletons in well on a
plantation near Maguito. The writer OF
the story asserts that these people were
undoubtedly thrown in while alive. He
says that in some cases the finger bones

Position and Sleep.

The position affects sleep. A con-
strained position generally prevents re-
pose, while a comfortable one wooes
sleep. Lying fiat OF the back, with the
limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the
greatest amount Of rest for the muscu-
lar system. This is the position assumed
in the most exhausting diseases, and it
is generally hailed as a token of revival
when a patient voluntarily turns on tho
side. But there are several d%isadvan-
tages in the supine posture which i'm
pair or embarrass sleep. Thus in disor-
dered conditions of the stomach the
blood seems to gravitate to the back of
the head and to produce troublesome
dreams.
Nearly all who are inclined to snore
do so when lying ON the back, because
the soft palate and uvula hang on the
tongue, and that organ falls back so as
partly to close the top of the wind
pipe. 1t is better, therefore, to lie on
the side, and, in the absence of special
disease rendering it desirable to lie on
the weak side SO as to leave the healthy
lung free to expand, it is well to use the
right side, because when the body is
thus placed the food gravitates more
easily out Of the stomach, and the
weight of the stomach does not COM
press the upper portion Of the intes-
tines. A glance at any Of the visceral
anatomy will show this mT1st ha an -
Exchange.

OF DIARRHOEA,

(From the Times, Hillstille, Va.)
I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time, and thought l was past being
cured. I had spent much time and
money and suffered SO much misery
that had almost decided to give up all
hopes of recovery and await the result,
but noticing the advertisement of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and also some testimo-
malls stating how some wonderful cures
had been wrought by this remedy, I de-
cided to try it. After taking a few doses
I was entirely well of that trouble, and
I wish to say further to my readers and
fellow-sufferers that I am a hale and
hearty a to-day, and feel as well as
I ever did in my life.-O. r. Moore.

DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN,

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened it's clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood it's severest tests, but her vital or
gans were undermined and death SEEM
ed imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs
Luther Lutz. Thus writes W. G. Ham
nick & Co., of Shelby, N. c. At Fischer
& Co.'S drug store; regular size Soc and

NORTH POLE

The return of an Arctic explorer
clears up many mysteries, who says
that much new land was discovered in
Weddell Sea, and open water was seen
far to the south. This shows that the
great wall of ice reported by early ex-
plorers was a myth. Arctic explorers
are not the only ones who meet with
receptions. Many people with indiges-
ton and dyspepsia have been deceived
so many times that they believe there is
no cure. They can be cured though hun
dreds of medicines have failed. Take
the only reliable medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which also cures con-
.stipation, nervousness, sleeplessness
and liver and kidney disorders. Do not
accept a substitute. See that a private
Revenue Stamp covers the neck Of the

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF WATER.
Irrigation Monopolies Not Best for the
Oountrv.


The argument of the west that the
government should control and conserve
waters which could be used to make the
public domain fertile is convincing more
and more people in the east yearly.
The time has gone by in the west for
irrigation water to be used as a COM
modify for speculation. In the early
days the title to water supply or the
prospect of getting it was used as a
means to enhance values and in nan
cases to sell land to strangers them
selves eager to invest; but now water
is needed to legitimately irrigate land
so that it will yield it's products, which
must be sold in the face of constantly
increasing competition. Water, there
fore, should be no longer used as a spec
ulative medium. 1t should be made
available to the at the actual
cost of the construction and operation
Of the necessary distribution works, and
without cost for reservoir storage. 1t
has been generally demonstrated, dur
ing the past ten years, that there is
but little profit in private storage en-
terprises, for, while the advantage to
the community is great, the owners of
the plant do not reap the full benefit.
The practicable and fair method and
the only one which will be absolutely
successful is the building of reservoirs
by either the general or state govern
ments, with the free use of the waters
stored to the land wner The propo-
sition is exactly similar to that in which
the public has the free use Of and bene-
fit from the improvements made by the
government on some harbor, the dredg-
ing of some river for navigation, or the
establishment Of some lighthouse or
danger signal.

Cured Him.

A correspondent of the London Spec
tator thus tells how a man addicted to
the splitting habit was cured: "The cap
tain of an Atlantic steamship was at a
loss how to induce a passenger to desist
from the filthy habit of splitting on
deck. Among the passengers was a gen
tleman well known in Toronto 40 years
ago who undertook to stop him if a
quartermaster were placed at his dis
posal. The captain closed with the
offer, and the mar was directed to fetch
a bucket Of water and a mop and to
follow the offender up and down the
deck. The result was completely salts
