London, and If there is one thing the
fashionable cotillon leader resents more
than another, 1t is to be described as a
swell or a dude. Those two long-suffer-
ing terms have been called in, so TO
speak, and the old-fashioned word maca-
roni substituted, to express a young man
the elegance of whose garments Is beyond
reproach. The interesting social figure
and his feminine friends have also taught
themselves the London habit of clipping

1T is commendable that the men of good
society i'm New York have never had it
on their consciences that they used pro-

their minds il Is absolutely admissible to
express the weather as dashed cold" a

Increase in Tax Valuation in Raleigh
Township S460,573.
The County Commissioners met yester-
day in regular monthly session. All
the commissioners were present except
Mr.. Mial. who was too sick too attend.
Most of the day was spent in routine
business of an unimportant character.
A number of complaints were heard
relative to the tax valuation of real es-
tate. but none of them were acted on.
Mr.. w. G. Allen, superintendent of
the Work House. was authorized to
build swinging bridge across Crabtree
creek at Morrisville. 1t is to cost not
exceeding $165.
As soon as work on the Fowler bridge,
now in course of erection, is completed,
Mr. Allen is authorized to take % or 30
of the county convicts to Wake Forest
township to work certain roads in that
section.
The report of the tax listers for Raj
eigh township essrs. Clee Lee and
Ches. Arthur-was received and they
were paid $225 each for their services.
Their enlistment is said to be one of
the best and most satisfactory ever
made.

June century.
Much of the tediousness of highly civilized
life comes from its smoothness and regu-
iarity. To-day is like yesterday, and we
think that We can predict tomorrow. Of
course we cannot really do so. The chances
are still there. But we have covered them
up so deeply with the artifcialties OF life
that we lose sight of them. 1t seems as II
everything in our neat little world were
arranged, and provided for. n reasonably
certain to come to pass. The best way Of
escape from this tedium vitae is through a
recreation like angling, not only because
1t is so evidently a matter OF luck, but also
life. 1t leads almost inevitably to camping
out, which is a wholesome and sanitary i'm
prudence.
1t is curious and pleasant, to my appre-
hension, to observe how many peopl in
New England, which has been called, at
least in part, the Land of Steady Habits,
are sensible of the joy OF changing them
out of doors. They turn out from their com
Portable farm houses and their snug
fortnight among the mountains or beside
the sea. You see their white tents gleam-
ing from the pine groves around the little
lakes, and catch glimpses of their bathing
clothes drying in the sun on the wiry grass
that fringes the sand dunes. Happy fugi-
tives from the bondage of routine. They

Without being much given to church-going,
they were naturally religious in thought
and given to silent rayer The mother re-
tanned her simple, contented ways, to which
she was born in her matched lowland cot
tage by the Firth of Forth. She never
acquired the '~gadding'' habit which Is so
common among poor women in large cities
in their effort TO find away from home the
brightness which they cannot get within.
She stayed by her fireside, learned to cook
well, insisted upon having good food for
her family and was firm in her determina-
ton to have them educated. Each and
every one went through the grammar
school; two of them passed through the
high school; and the others entered it, but
left to go into business or TO marry. So,
in the midst of confusion and ignorant prod
igality, and filth, and noise, they grew up
with a quiet and self-respecting demeanor,
all of them book-lovers, all fond of good
music and of sociability in the better sense
of the word. This is extraordinary, but it
shows the wisdom of selecting ones grand
fathers, but more especially ones grand
mothers, with discrimination. These Scotch
Presbyterians, with their antecedents of
Westminster Confession, soap, and educa-
ton, were not to be dismayed even by the
powers of arkness which are abroad by
noon and night in the downtown districts

tants of this wide and various earth. The
circumstances of their existence are too
mathematical and secure for perfect con-
tentment. They live at second or third hand.
They are boarders in the world. Everything
is done for them by somebody else.
1t Is almost impossible for anything very
Interesting to happen to them. They must
get their excitement out of the newspapers,
reading of the hairbreadth escapes and NOV
ing accidents that befall people in real life.

A box elder topped too short and late in

its disgust at such bungling by turning Its
