THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

More than 200 municipalities in Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland now own
the municipal gas works.
The longest canal in the world is the
Erie in New York, extending from Al
bany to Buffalo, distance of 381 miles.
The cost of construction was 52,54o,-

The Paris Figaro says that the word
"sirdar," which has been SO frequent
ly used since the exploits Of Lord Kitch-
ener, is a contraction of the Arabic
words, ''Sayer ed Dar;' that sayer
means inspector or watcher, and dar
means palace-ergo, inspector of the
palace" Webster's International Die
tionary, however, says that ''sirdar"
comes from the Persian ''sardar;''
''sar,' the head, top, and ''dar," holding
possession-hencea a chief or general.
The earlier editions of Webster's
dictionary con aimed verb ito Jew,

influential lsraelites. the word was
eliminated from the book. AS a mat

ENTERPRIsING BUSINESS.
Sherwood Riggs and Cumpany Leads Them
All,

Again Raleigh leads all other cities in
the State in new enterprises. The first
Cable Cash Carrier introduced in North

terday. The system is the "Lamson Per-

THE Lamson Consolidated Store Service
Company of Lowell, Mass Mr. D. NJ.
Patterson, Baltimore office, Atlantic
Trust Building, is the Southern
agent. The Cable Cash Carrier
is said 10 be superior to all
others of this system. This cable
cash carrier is run by an electric motor,
and contains ten stations. The wheels
make 270 revolutions per minute and it
takes less than five seconds for the cash
box to reach the home station or
cashiers desk from the fartherest off
station in the store. The lines run to
all parts of the store on every floor; each
department has a wrapping counter and
expeditions service and customers will
expedition service and customers will
have but little time to wait for their
change when making purchases. The
cable cash carrier will be appreciated
when compared to the old service, when
the throat and lungs of the clerks were
strained by continuous following, cash
boy" while the customers waited and
suffered and leash boy came not.
Messrs. Sherwood Higgs & Co. are
modern merchants in the broadcast sense,
full of energy, pluck and enterprise. They
are always ready and willing to adopt
ANYTHING that will facilitate and i'm
prove their business and give greater
satisfaction to customers.
Their beautiful window displays made
during the late State Fair was the adj
miration of the great crowds who saw
them. Every city would be proud of hav-
ing such up-to-date business men as
Sherwood Higgs & Co, who would be
leading merchants anywhere.
The Cash Carrier was installed by
operators T. C. Sauerwein and ]. P.
Treanor, of Baltimore, Nd.
Last night many watched the swift
running cash boxes as they flew over
the tracks-a sight novel and new to
many in this city.

spells. He had wdrdeG off death. from him
self and from others: he had rewarded
friends and punished Saem.es; he had
brought estranged lov0,s to the marriage
altar; he had saved babes from the grasp
of death: he had told where lost or stolen
property might be found: he had dismissed
the evil spirit Of murrain and eptzootic
from cattle and hogs and horses; he had
kept life in his old body for the more than
thirty years which had passed since he
was attacked by that strange disease which
would have killed any man not possessing
the power of calling to his protection the
strange spirits.
All this he had done. But what was II

spirits? Nothing. And in the hour Of his

Never afterwards did the old man call
upon the spirits. He sat day in and day

been his nome for thirty years, and
