THE CROW.

His voice Is hoarse with misty years,
For never was he young
Hatched with the rust upon his wing,
And on his forked tongue
A speech that rang through Nile-lands
green
Before the pyramids were seen.
The last sweet kernel has he CLEANED
Throughout the grain fields bleak;
famine-threatened pirate he
Whose good name none will speak;
he has no shelter but the wood,
No comrade In the solitude.
But still, though autumn's torn red nag
Floats through the fog-wreaths piinu'
And soldier-reeds hold broken SWORDS
Against the sharp north wind
His dauntless heart Is in his croak,
Hurled proudly from the tallest oak.
Scorn of the frowning skies 1t rings,
OF empty husks, of chill:
The world is his, howeer 1t goes,
He owns II good or i'll.
For him alone the day is good,
The night is black within the wood.
And, somehow, in our wintry ears
His music, clear and shrill,
Conjures rare, ripe summer day
With blue smoke on the hill,
A cornfield swept by shadows long,
Red peoples, and a reaper's song.
He greets the hunters breezy horn
With a derisive laugh;
The robins plaintive last good-by
He echoes back as chaff
He warns his old breast in the sun,
And calls across the twilight dun.
But when the moon her round lamp takes
To search the pine woods dim,
She finds the owl with wings aflap,
But never trace of him
black notch on the nights black breast
Within the hush he takes his rest.

panion.

The fine Greek statue in bronze re-
Gently discovered near Pompeii has
been placed in the Naples museum,
where examination has shown it to
be covered with layer of fine silver.
This popularity gives the statue
unique value, as there is believed to
be no other bronze statue in the
world so covered, though several of
the more valuable Greek MASTER
pieces, like the bust of Berenice and
the dancers of Herculaneum, in the
Naples museum, have their lips or
their garments ornamented with sill
yer. The fact that the bronze of the
statue is completely covered with the
precious metal Is considered o proof
that the Pompeiians themselves val
ued 1t highly.-Chicago Chronicle.

CHEAPEST FAR FROM HOME.
Chocolate Falls in Price as the Dis

Chocolate is one of the mysteries

gentleman who has spent much time
in South America, to a Washington

it is one of the few things in trade

Their you are removed from where it
is produced-tha is, from where the
cocoa bean, from which it is made, is
grown. The finest grade of chocolate
is produced in Venezuela, though
there are good forms of cocoa beans
grown in many parts of South and
Central America. Indeed, much
chocolate was produced in Central
America even before Columbus dis
covered America. In South America
the retail price for the better grades
of chocolates averages about 81 per
pound, while in Italy, France, Eng
land and in America the better grades
sell at much lower price. Indeed,
the ordinary grade of chocolate sells
here often for one-third of the price
that is charged for it where it Is
produced in its best form. There are
two crops of the cocoa bean in each

in financial way for some years.
The manufacture is simple enough.
1t consists of grinding the beans up
into a meal and then adding sugar
and arrow root, with the necessary
flavor, generally vanilla or cinnamon.
The mass is then moistened until it
is in semi-fuid condition, when it
is run into molds of the proper shape.
"As / stated before, any first-class
grade of chocolate in the country

81 per pound at retail. To explain
the mystery why supposed similar
goods sell in this country and in Eu-
rope for much less the South Amer
leans say it is the result OF adultera-
ton. They claim that 90 per cent.
of the chocolates of commerce are
'heavied' by the use of pipe clay or
similar adulterant. 1t is noticed that
the chocolates which are made in
South America and which bring the
hipher price right where thew are
made leave no residue in the cups
from which the liquid chocolate is
drunk, while the chocolates generally
found in this country and in Europe
always leave residue in the cups.
This residue is insoluble and is the
adulterant, though when chocolate

DEATHS VISITS IN SLEEP.
Apopiexy Frequently Attacks Its
Victim While They Are
Wrapt In SIumber

The frequent occurrence of apopleXy
during sleep was illustrated in the
case of Col. Albert ID. Shaw. He had
made a patriotic speech during the
evening and had retired in apparently
good health. In his instance, says the
New York Herald, there was com
bination of causes to bring about the
result-a banquet, mental excitement,
probable indigestion and n coincident
lowering of vital tone.
In some respects the circumstances
were similar to those attending the
demise of Henry George who was like
wise stricken after forced efforts on
the platform.
Why the accident in question should
occur at time when all the bodily
functions are seemingly at rest is at
first thought somewhat difficult to eX-
plain. When, however, the arteries of
the brain become brittle by age the
slightest change of blood pressure is
often enough to precipitate rupture
of those vessels and cause the escape Of
a eliot either upon the surface or into
the substance OF the brain.
High mental tension, being always
associated with congestion, is in itself
an active predsposing cause of apo
plexy. This condition is apt to con.
tinue during more or less troubled
sleep. and with an overtired nervous
system there is less resistance TO over
stretching of the cerebral arteries than
during the waking hours. Nature, in
stead of rebounding, simply succumbs.
The fullness of the vessels increases
until the final break occurs.
Generally the effusion of blood is
sufficiently large TO be followed by in
Simultaneous death. causing one sleep
to pass quietly into the other. As evil
dence of this peaceful ending, it is
often noticed that the patients are

IN MEMORIAM.

Died at Reinhardt Lincoln county on
June 30 1901, Franklin NJ Reinhardt aged
twentyseven years, son of Hon. j. f. and
Mrs. Leckie Reinhardt. He possessed the
confidence and respect of his acquaint
ances to as great degree as any one of
his age in his community.
When he reached his majority he was
thought to be robust and his energy and
activity faithfulness in the performance
of trusts confded to him.. added to the
strictest integrity Of character, gave
promise that he would be leading and
useful citizen wherever he might make
his home.
Two years ago he contracted consump
ton of the throat which gradually extend
cd to his lungs, and after months of vast
ing suffering he entered into rest He
was prepared for the change and ready
to quit his house of clay to await the
completion of that mot made with hands
eternal in the heavens" The large con-
course which assembled to pay the last
sad rites testified as to the esteem in
which he was held.

The WOMAN NOW IN JAIL
She Begs to be Taken to the Asylum
That She May Not BECOME
Hop ,lessly Crazy.
OTHER CASTS OF The SAME KIND ON FILE
Clerk Of Court Stevens, Ct J,hnslon County.
Asks If Our Insane Are to be Smothered
in The County Jails. ADeplorable
Condition Of Affairs.

To the Editor: What is to become of
our insane, are they to be smothered III
the county jails? If the accommoda-
items at the asylums are wholly made
cuate to care for these unfortunates upon
whom the Masters hand has been heavi-
ly laid, think our people would cheerful
~ consent to be taxed for an appropria-
ton to increase their capacity to an ex-
tent commensurate with the present
needs. About a week ago a young mar
ried lady (taken from her little 30 day
old babe,) the wife of Mr. p. I. Smith,
a country blacksmith dependent on his
daily labor for living, was adjudged in
sane and under the advice of Dr. Whar-
ton, the county physician, was sent to the
hospital at Raleigh with the papers as an
emergency case. DR.. Mckee declined to
receive her for want of room. She had to
be brought back and placed in the crazy
cell in Jail. DR.. Wharton thinks that
with proper treatment for month or
two she would be fully restored to health
and sanity.
Her means are piteous to hear. At
times she is conscious of her condition
and begs piteously to be taken to the asy-
lum for treatment The county physician
has requested the jailer Mr. Williams to
get some woman TO accompany Mrs. Smith
and let her walk about under the shade
during this hot weather and he would see
that she was paid; and last night dur
ing the thunder storm Mrs. Smith was
very much excited and afraid to be alone
and the jailer very generously sat up all
night that she might be quiet. He is q
poor man and his family is dependent
upon his daily labor. Mrs. Smiths maiden
name was Miss Lucy Lloyd, an orphan girl,
educated at the Oxford Orphan asylum
and unless something can be done for her
she will doubtless become a raving ma
Mac. The county physician, sheriff and
jailer are doing everything in their pow
er to help her.
There is also another young lady by the
name of Holmes living in Benson in this
county whose application for admittance
into the asylum at Raleigh has been on
file for four or five weeks now confined at
her home behind barred doors and win
dows. Her parents are poor people living
in .twO-room house and unable to
take care Of her and may be driven to
the necessity of combining her in Jail also
These cases are sent you that the people
may know how the unfortunates of their
State are suffering for want of room in
the asylums. / have no doubt but that
the same state of affairs exists in many
other counties in the State and | feel GER
tain that when the people realize the true
condition of things they will willingly
and quickly come to the relief of these
unfortunates.
