of the true gentlemen that the south.
Washington and Lee ond other soldiers
will measure with the noblest of the
world in any age. We have seen as fine
specimens of polfteness, nobility of
soul, lofty sense of honor, the purest
principles, the most consistency of living
among the best North Carolina. men
we have known, as We have ever met
from Virginia or any other state, and
we ave travelled in several southern
states. We are reminded Of the able,
pure, admirable gentlemen we have
met by reading a communication by
Rev. r. G. Reed in the Charlotte Pres
byterian Standard, of a visit to Charles
ton. In his interesting communication
he makes the following reference to
two very distinguished men of South
Carolina in the past:
William Roscoe, author of the Life

then a young man, in a fashionable
hotel of London. On leaving him he
met the Duke of Argyle On the street.

Who Had tho Button.

There is a good story told of q magi-
clan who has passed the great divide.
He was a world-traveled player. and
casion in faraway New Zealand. It
was arranged that he should give an
exhibition Of mind-reading before the
King Of the Maoris.
After some parleying 1t was decided
that the King himself should conceal
the article which the magician was to
discover. The mind-reader left the
room and after a time was brought
back blindfolded, as Is the custom in
such performances. After some time
the magician declared that the hidden
article was in the Kings mouth. His
majesty shook his head savagely in
the negative. The magician insisted
upon his point, and demanded that the
Kings mouth be opened wide. The
King refused. The magician insisted,
and the excitement became very great.
until at last the dusky King reluctant
" opened his jaws. The article was
not there!
The next instant, however, the King
was taken with a violent fit Of cough
ing. He had tried to swallow the lost
article, a button, but could not, and
was compelled to cough it up. The
Maoris were uproarious with mirth.
They did not know which to admire the
more-the wisdom Of the magician or
the heroism Of the King.-London Tit.

called upon, would scramble up Chin

their brooms and other Instruments,
often through q narrow funnel fifty
feet in length, filed with SCOT and
smoke, and In which they could not
breathe till they got to the top. and
all in order to gain but five sous. The
custom was introduced into Great Brit
ain, bit put down by an act Of Parlia-
ment in 1910, in consequence Of the
many serious accidents which attend
ed the climbing of chimneys: and, al
though the use of machinery was sub
stituted, 1t does not perform the op-
Grafton 80 effectively as the old mode.
As long as chimneys were simply and
wisely built they were easily cleaned
by servants with wisps of straw or
brushwood fastened to rope: but
when, to save room, narrow fiues were
made, the cleaning of them became 40
difficult that it was necessary to have
small boys for that employment. The
arst who thus swept chimneys were

If Piedmont and Savoy.

Always keep meat, whether raw or

protected from flies, which will soon

A fancy work basket can be made at

large camp stool and filling its place
with a pocket Of cretonne lined with
sateen, and letting it hang down below
the seat.
Where there are a good many pic

green tint is pretty for the walls.
The most durable floor covering is

for kitchens, pantries and back rooms
is tile. Where tiles cannot be had,
painted walls or vanished papers can
be employed.
