LARGEST EVER ISSUED.

Atlanta Constitution.
To the Raleigh News and Observer
must go the credit OF publishing the
largest single issue of newspaper ever
attempted The size and the purpose
of this monster issue is best told by the
journal in question: Here follows an
extract from the issue.-Ed)
The nearest approach to this issue of
the News and Observer was a pa
per of los pages, issued at Melbourne,
Australia. 1t carries nearly half a mile
of reading matter, in columns making
a length of nine miles
By far the greatest achievement, how
ever, is the excellence of the matter
furnished and the showing made for the
prosperity and enterprise of the State
of North Carolina. One Of the great
est engines of progress which a State
can have is a bright and up-to-date
newspaper which knows how TO keep
abreast of the times, and which does
it. Hon. Josephus Daniels has struck
the chord and in the present issue of
the News and Observer shows that he
is entitled to recognition for leading
the way in his native State.

lNEBRIETY..A DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
oyerpowering to be conquered by reso-
Iutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if be could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness Of the

Sam Wang, IA Chinese laundryman

compliments.
Sam had often seen Il watermelon,
but had never tasted one, and neither
had any OF his family. A council OF
all the Chinese in the neighborhood
was held that night, but no one knew
what to do with the watermelon. III.
nally, after mature deliberation. a
huge washing boiler was procured and
the melon dumped into it and boiled
Tor two hours. Then the entire col

shrleks OF agony were heard proceed

oaths and clutching their stonachs.
A doctor was called, and by liberal use
OF Jamaica ginger brought them
around. When Sam next visited the

at him:

In the operating room of a note,

Miss Alice Wetherell, of Chi

of catarrh.
The examination was progressing

the doctor had showed a probe up in
the right nOstril when it encountered
resistance. The spectrum disclosed
what appeared to be a bone high up
In the nos and as such conditions are
not rare the doctor took his drill and
proceeded to cut it out. But the first
contact made him stop. His skillful
touch told him at once that it was not
bone he was encountering.
An examination Of his drill as he
withdrew 1t showed tiny particles of
ivory. Then he began to think, and
think quickly. The only part of the
human anatomy is the teeth. And
there lay the solution. The young
lady had a tooth in her nose. Excus-
ing himself for a moment he called in
two dentists, who occupy offices on the
same floor. and, explaining the situa-
tion to them, he allowed them only
time enough to recover from their sur.

FIRST HOME OF HUMAN RACE.
Locations OF TIE GARDEN OF EDEN
HAS BEEN FIXED BY AN
ENGINEER.

The distinguished explorer, Majo
Seton Karr, has left Alden for Somali
land in his search for the precise posi-
ti0n Of the garden OF Eden. Henri,
NJ. Stanley's views OF the matter, a,
set forth in his wonderful account o
his explorations, have long since leo
many archaeologists to transfer theil
allegiance from the long-accepted sit,
in Asia TO the valley Of the Shari. W
Marsham Adams, the distinguished
authority of photography, disagree>
with Major Karr in placing the site
Of the garden In the valley itself, but
agrees rs TO the vicinity, maintaining
that the Immediately adjoining pla-
teau Of Central Africa was the cradle
Of the human race.
1t has been proved beyond all doubt
that the territory Of Eden was not a
district through which four rivers
had their full course, but was essen
TALLY a watershed, containing asingle
river and four ''heads." This descrip.
ton exactly corresponds with the
great basin Of Central Africa, which
contains the single river, the Shari,
and the heads OF four great rivers
the Zmbasi, the Niger, the Nile and
the Congo. And 10 the eastern part
of this plateau covering 5000 square
miles Of the most g%loriously beautiful
land in the world" is a paradise full
of all kinds of animal life. Stanley
describes 1t as being likely, from GER
tain rocky eminences which lie to the
eastward of the basin OF the Shari.
The location almost exactly comedies
with the description evolved from
later readings.
In the ceaseless wal between the
adherents of scripture and the adher-
ents OF science any discovery which
may throw a new light on the truth
or falsity Of the Pentateuch is eagerly
perused. According to the scriptural
account our first parents went forth
from Eden toward the east. This
would just correspond with the most
datural course, leaving the valley of
the Shari, which would be to follow
the course Of the Bahr-el-Gnazal,
which trends slightly to the eastward
before turning to the north. From
here, as the human family continued
TO multiply, the migratiOns would
gradually reach up to the parts about
Somaliland. This is now generally
acknowledged by the Psychologists to
coincide with the land of Poont, the
sacred land to which the people OF the
Ptolemys ever looked back as the land ,
of their origin.
Still further down the Nile we come
the island OF Meroes, where Moses,
accarding to JOsephus, when a CON-
llduulng general, IN behalf OF his
maseter of Egypt, gained an over
Whelming victory over the habitants
the Soudan and where the famous
explorer, Cailland, discovered
the ruins of AsSur. !
Each OF these points would lead to
jhe confirmation Of the scriptures, a
most important point to either to the |
Christian or the historiographer. 1t n
S also a pleasant reflection to consid-
n that the armies of modern Egypt, =
he in whose service so many races :
truggled and won, now hold, perhaps z
the territory wei which those Z
o whom is attributed the Penta- <
euch, strove and conquered. Z

EGGS AND POULTRY.
he Texas Farm and Ranch

From the Texas Farm and Ranch
 In mid-winter eggs are always dear, and thousands of dozens are sold as fresh that have not seen a hen since the previous summer. Eggs can be kept good all the fall and winter, sim ply in lime water.
 Hens are frequently made too fat to lay, but not too fat for the table. Old hens will become too fat for laying all most without provica tion-just little corn twice day and the thing is done. Oftener, however, hens are to lean to lay. Liberal feeding with nitrogenous food is what is needed.
 As soon as hens get we'll to laying is the time to begin matching. It is well to discard few of the first eggs laid. Wait until the hens sort O get the hang of it, and the eggs will be more perfect and the chicks more sat isfactory. In the latitude of Dallas about the middle of February is early enough to put the eggs under the hens. Tn fact the hens will give proper warn ing when the time comes by their motherly clucking. Early matches are usually the most satisfactory.
 Somewhere near 90 per cent of fowl diseases are caused by fifth either eat en outright, or taken unlntentionally with fool. A clean place for feeding is important, and broad board is better than trough, as it is likely to become contaminated. Grain widely scattered on a clean yard or among grass or straw, where the fowls have to scratch for and discover it for themselves is a typical manner of feeding. Soft feed or any wetted grain is better placed on boards. We use l2-inch boards twelve feet long, and turn and sweep them often.
 To have eggs in abundance during the cold weather we must make the winter days as mar like spring days as possible for the hens. To do this keep them warm and feed such feed as they are likely to get in the summer. Do not fail to have scratching floor on which to feed them. The hens must have plenty of exercise to keep them healthy.

You are perhaps aware that pneu- monia always results from cold or from an attack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneu- monia, it was observed that the attack was never followed by that disease when Cham berlain's Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tenden- cy of a cold or la grippe to result in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in the world for bad colds and la gripde Every bottle warranted.

Get a Home, Young Man.

From the Texas Farm and Ranch.
 The idea that many renting farmers have, that they must save up a lot of money before buying home, is wrong If young man has physical strength, good health, and is not afraid of work, he should buy home first thing. or at least at the earliest opportunity. Then he has an object in view, and while earning wherewith to pay for it, is continually adding to it's value and his own substance Long before the farm is fully paid for, it may and should be worth twice as much as when he bought it There are land owners almost everywhere who will sell to such farmer on easy terms and ample time In the meantime in- dustry and economy must rule all his operations. But when the home is fully paid for, and he is lord of the manor, he may appropriately give a thorough "blow out" inviting his friends and neighbors to rejoice with him. and within his means may refus e to count the cost. Get home, young man.
