The veriest child believes il knows

stove when it is done and a sodden,

deal to be a good plain cook. A cook
who has learned to be this has very
little more to learn in her calling.
The fancy part of cooking is easily
learned by anyone who has become
expert in plain cooking, says the New
York Tribune.

Watch Night Meeting.

On Monday night, the last night of the
old year and the cid century, meeting
was held in the Methodist church at this
place. Similar meetings were held in
most of the Methodist churches OF the
North and South. The "Watch Night"
meeting was originated by John Wesley,
the founder of Methodism, in 1740; the
custom of holding these meetings has con-
tinued in England and in some sections of
the United States ever since.
The meeting held in the church at this
place on Monday night was very well at
tended. The service began at 10 o'clock
and was continued until little after mid
night.
A paper on the "Origin of Watch Night"
was read by Rev. Geo. Buston, and a
paper that had been published by Bishop
Galloway Oh the Twentieth Century Move
ment was read by Rev. T. r. Handy. The
service was interespersed with prayer and
singing of hymns. Just as midnight ar
rived and the new century was ushered in,
the congregation sang "Abide With Me-"
A very good congregation was in attend
ance, and all were we'll pleased with tue
meeting. The bells of the Methodist and
churches were rung at mid
night in honor of the new year and new
century.

SITUATION IN CAPE COLONY.
Its Gravity DweIt Upon by the London
Mails Correspondent.

London, January 2.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail, who
dwells upon the gravity of the situation in
Cape Colony, says:
1.-THE Boer invaders now number 5000.
The western invasion gives the most con-
Germ. 1t has split into two divisions, which
are marching like the prongs Of folk, one
by way of Switzerland toward Malmes-
bury, and the other toward Beaufort
West.
"1he enemy are now ranging over I'M
meuse tracts of territory, necessitatlng the
employment of an army corps to deal with
them. Lord Kitchener has poured troops
into the disturbed areas; but the fugitive
tactics of the Beers have to large extent
neutralized his precautions.
SIT was felt that the only means of ex-
Guiding the invaders from the rich dis
tricts in the western parts OF the colony
was to call out the farmers. Today's tele-
grams promise splendid response from
the eastern portions, but the western is
doubtful, not thirty per cent. of the popu'
lation being regarded as loyal. Hence the
Boer concentration in that direction.
"Letters are arriving here detailing
damage and robbery by the invaders, and
beseeching military assistance. Any action
on the part of the colony will not abate
the urgent need of large reinforcements. "
London, January 1.-General Kitchener
has telegraphed to the War Office as fol-

Practical Curiosity.

Near the town of Baku, in the Rus
sian Caucasus, are several tracts of
land whereon no cattle would feed, al
though they were covered with I'M
usually rich heritage. The super
stitious peasantry declared that an
evil spirit had bewitched the meadows
in question. By and by there hap
pened along practical, matter of
fact Englishman, who started to in
vestigate the phenomenon. He quick
ly discovered that, although the grass
was undoubtedly rich and succulent,
it tasted strongly of paraffin, a sub
stance the flavor of which is intensely
repugnant to nearly all animals, but
especially so to cattle. Such was the
origin of the discovery of the Baku
petroleum deposits-deposits which
have already yielded millions of
pounds worth of oil, and which show
no signs of becoming exhausted.-Chi-
cago Journal.

THE MURDERER is BEHEADED.
The Slayer of Baron Won KetteIer De-
captated in PekIn.

Pekin, December 31.-The man who
killed Baron Won Ketteler, the German
minister to China, in June last, was be-
headed today in the presence of a large
number of spectators.
A meeting of the foreign ministers will
be held as soon as Sir Ernest Mason Sa-
tow, the British minister, who is suffering
from chlls and fever shall have recovered
sufficiently to be present, and when a
date and place for meeting the Chinese
commissioners shall have been agreed
upon.
A representative of the Associated Press
today had personal interview with Ii
Hung Chang, who shows plainly evidence
of his recent illness, but whose mind has
not yet been affected by his sickness and
is as vigorous as ever. In the course of
his conversation with the correspondent,
Earl Ii said he should prefer to meet the
ministers and commissioners at his house
if such an arrangement were possible, on
account of the condition of his health, but
would not, under the circumstances, make
suggestions.
He said also that the Emperor is de-
sirous of complying in all particulars with
the demands Of the powers. On the
other hand, he thinks, the powers should
order a cessation of the frequent irritating
which he looks upon as I'M
necessary and as doing deal Of harm.
1t will be quite possible now, he says, to
maintain complete order in the province,
with the assistance of a small number of
Chinese troops, and he hopes the powers
will agree to keep as at present the troops
now stationed at Pekin and Tien Tsin
along the railway.

The Holidays.

The holiday season at Tazewel was an
unusually quiet but none the less enjoy
able one. There was but one arrest made
in the town for disorderly conduct during
the entire week. On Christmas day. the
people remained at home enjoying tie
quiet of their fresdes and good dinners,
which we hope and believe nearly every
one had.
There were a number of social gather.
ings in the town and several dancing par
ties. One was given at Central Hotel and
one at the Ratlif Hotel. Mr.. and Mrs.
A. P. Gillespie gave two parties. The
first was given in honor Of Miss Ned Spen-
Ger and the second to Misses Mamie and
Nanola Gillespie. Mrs. Rose Knoll also
gave dancing party.

RATHER
STRANGE.

If a man offered another
man a bag of gold as a down
right gift, and the latter refus-
ed point blank to take it, peO-
pie would say it was rather
strange. Isn't the same thing
true of a man or woman who
refuses to insure property
against fire? Its declining a
gift of gold, because when an
insured mans house burns up,
the agent comes around and
hands him the money that has
aohe up in smoke and down
in ashes.
That is if the company
the agent represents is respon-
sible.

SUBSIST BY EATING DIRT.
Strange and Repulsive Habit of Some
Natives OF the West
Indies.

You can't convince the coolie of the
Grenadine islands, West Indies, that
there is any harm in eating dirt. His
own diseases ought to convince him,
but they don't. The rest of their diet
is simple and meager. For the most
part they are vegetarians. They eat
rice, peas, curry and ghee, a specially
prepared butter in great use. Most
processing vegetarians do not exclude
from their diet milk and eggs, but
these coolies will not touch either
except when they are in hospital
and forced to do so. To hard workers
in the cane fields under a scorching
tropical sun such a frugal diet can
not be supposed to be productive OF
health or robustness. And when to
this sort of food Is added the luxury
of officiating it is no wonder that
these coolies are bloodless and stiff
jointed. These ills are characteristic
of the race.
Coolie patients in the English hos.
pitfalls of Carriacou, one of the Grena-
dine islands, frequently are found to
have gravel hidden in their clothing,
and they cry and beg for it Ike the
morphine eater for his dope. This
stuff which they eat is a soft, slate
colored or grayish stone. Sometimes
the pulyerized dirt is made into cakes.
If there isn't much of this to be had
the coolies eat rags, paper and coke.
A coolie who is well along in the
art of officiating is swollen all over
the body and the muscles of his legs
are tense. His face is puffy and has
a distressing look of WEAKNESS and
premature age. He is short of breath
and is unable to speak, so that he has
to make signs to indicate his condi-
ton. His tongue is swollen and fab
by and lies in the floor of his mouth,
from which he cannot raise it, from
pure weakness. 1t is marked strongly
with impressions of the teeth. He
has severe headaches, dimness of
sight and pains in the abdomen. His
skin is thin, fiabby and lacking of
firmness, and even in the case of chill
dren feels like the skin of an aged
person. The complexion is pasty.
But to have the diseases incident
to officiating it is not necessary to
eat dirt Intentionally. Laborers in
the fields, who rarely wash their
hands, have been known to take
enough dirt into their stomachs by
handling their food with their UNI
washed hands to acquire all the ills
which affiict those who eat dirt be-
cause they like it.
