HIS

The logic Of some Bible readers re
minds us Of the story of an old col
Ored preacher who made the asser-
ton in his pulpit that every woman
had seven devils in her. He was
promptly challenged by the irate fe-
male members of his flock to make
good his assertion. He announced
that on Il certain Sunday he would
give S%criptural proof of what he had
said.
When the time came he gave his
proof as follows: "Brudders and
sisters, you have all done heard and
read dat de Lord done cast seven
debbils out of one woman. But,
brudders and sisters, you have not
done heard and read dat he cast de
debbils out of any udder woman.
DerefOre, eff de Lawd only cast de
debbils out of one woman, den all
de udder wemen has de debbils in
dem yet. So, accordin' to the plain
readin' oh de scriptures, ebbery
woman has seven debbils in her.

upon it that made others appre.

A customer who came one day to
his little bookstore in Philadelphia.
not being satisfied with the price de-.
manded by the clerk for the book he
wished to purchase, asked for the
proprietor. "Mr. Franklin is verv
busy just now in the p~ress-rOom,"
replied the clerk. The man, how.
ever, who had already spent al hour
aimlessly turning over books, insist.
ed on seeing him. In answer to the
clerks summons, Mr.. Franklin har.
ried out from the newspaper estab.
lishment at the back of the store.
"What is the lowest price you can
take for this book, sir p asked the
leisurely customer, holding up the
volume. zone dollar and a quar-.
ter" was the prompt reply. "A
dollar and aquarter f! Why, your clerk
asked me only a dollar just now"
''True," said Franklin, 'and I could
have better afforded to take a dollar
than to leave my work"
The man, who seemed to be in
doubt as to whether Mr.. Franklin
was in earnest, said jokingly:
"Well, come now, tell me your low.

GA dollar and a half Why, you

Without another word, the crest

the counter and left the store. He
had learned not only that he who
squanders his w time is foolish,
but that he who wastes the time Of
others is a thief.-Success.

"Ah," said the detective, "now we
are getting on the right track What
kind of a horse was it?"
"They were driving so fast I didn't
notice that" replied Mrs. Blank.
"But the woman had on a Scotch
mOhair and wool jacket of turquoise
blue, last years style, with stitched
seams, a white pique skirt with deep
circular fOunces, a satin straw hat,
tilted and rather flat, trimmed with
hydrangeas and loops of pale blue

NATURE KNOWS BEST.

Better let the birds alone. Ma
ture knows her own business best,
Some time ago, it is noted, the Penn
sylvania farmers induced the Legis-
lature to place a bounty on the heads
of hawks and owls as a measure of
precautiOn for domestic fowls. In
the systematic hunt that followed,
more than a hundred thousand of
the pests were killed. Now the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
reports that the destruction Of so
many of the birds has resulted in a
loss to Pennsylvania farmers in d
year of not less than S., 900, 900. The
explanation is that in the absence of
the owls and hawks, field mice and
other small rodents formerly preyed
upon by them have multiplied amaz-
ingly and have done more damage to
the crops than under previous con-
characterization News and Cou-
rier.

How sweetly bloom'd the gray green birkl
How rich the hawthOrn's blOssOmsl

The golden hours on angel wings,

For dear to me as light and life,

Our parting wasf u' tender;
And, pleading aft to meet again,
We tore ourselves asunder;
But, oh fell Deaths untimely frost,
That nipt my flower sac early!

Oh, pale, pale now, those rosy lips,

And mOldering now in silent dust
That heart that lO'ed me dearly
But still within my bosOm's core

tanned to their civilization from one
century to another. The same fash
ions, the same government and adj
ministratiOn of affairs, existed for
hundreds of years without change.
But times have changed, and without
change we would make no advance,
and the profound secrets and mystic
ries of earth would never be known.
In the centuries that had gone be-
fore progress was so slow that it was
scarcely appreciate when compared
with the progress of the century just
ended.
The number of postofices in 1900
was nine hundred and three in one
hundred yeas, the number has grown
to 5000. Letter postage was very
high. At that time you had to pay
according to distance, from 10 to 25
cents on each letter. When a per
son was travelling, it vas not uncOm-
mon for people along the way to en-
uuire his route, and take advantage
of the opportunity to send letters to
their friends. By SO doing they
would save both time and postage !;
frequently verbal messages were
sent, when writing was not conven-
lent. At the beginning of the cen
fury, three million letters and papers
were sent in a year at the present
time the p~ostOffice handles about
30, 900, 900 pieces of mail in a single
day.
In the first of the century it took
from six seeks to two months after
an election to know who was elected
President. When the century was
half over, l have seen the stage
coach pass Sugar Greek Church with
the result of the election, which had
taken place three weeks before, en-
blazoned on a flag flying from the
rear of the stage. The result of d
State election in North Carolina was
almost as slow coming in. Rock
Spring Camp Meeting, in Lincoln
comfy, was known over the State as
the great central point, where the
political news of the State was to
be disseminated. Here almost every
part of the country was represented !;
frequently there were ten thousand
people in attendance. Some went
for the worship of God, but the
largest part to hear and tell the po-
litiCal news.

HOW CONGRESS R

That part of the Congressional
Record Index which gives the history
of all the bills and joint resolutions
presented becomes, upon the adj
jOurnment of Congress, interesting
as a basis of review. The references

example, here is the history of Sen

The general ~illiteracy Of the Rus
sian country people has one curious
result. A writer in Scribner's
who has travelled widely in their
country, notes that the shopkeepers
announce their wares by pictures
rather than by names. The atten-
ton of customers is sought by paint
ings of the articles on sale; as Of
coats and trousers in the clothing
stores bread, butter, cheese and sau'
sages in the line of provisions;
knives, forks and carpenters tools at
the hardware Dealers, and 50 on.
Even in the barracks, the sentry is
taught the proper military motions
by a series of pictures. It all seems
like dealing with children-a5 it isl

By looking closely we notice change
IN everything that is connected with
our civilization. And I am not sure
but the style of dress in the begin
ming of the century, although unique,
was hansOme and beCOming-tO
wear the hair powdered and in a
queue, blue brOadclOth coat, 'swal-
low tail pattern, with elegant ruthed
shirt bosom, knee pants with silver
buckles at the knee, long stockings
and pump-sole shoes. Gentlemen
who used tobacco used the Scotch
McAboy snuff, carried it in an ele-
CANT silver, gold or tortoise shell
box, and it was quite in good taste
80 pass the box around among gen
Gemen.
And what shall we say with re-
gard to the dress of the ladies in that
early period? 1t was somewhat as
variable and as liable to change then
as now. Paris was the center of the
world of fashion one hundred years
ago, as now. A people who are
found of gaiety, dress and fashion,
deserve to lead in hat which they
excel at any rate all civilized ma
biOns adopt whatever styles are hung
cut in the French capital. The la
dies wore their hair we'll forward
upon the top of the head, pulled and
loose, we'll powdered, which was ar
ranged by an expert hair-dresser.
The dress-a white silk, or what
would be taken for muslin, was worn
very lOw-neCk, short waist, with ii
long point in front, laced very tight,
80 as to give the hips considerable
prominence. Crinoline, or like mod
ern-say forty years agO-hOOp-
skirts, silks in various colOrS, was
the rage indress circles, short sleeves
or bare arms-have always held
prominence, unless the lady should
have sinewy arms. The shoes had
very high heels, with much fancy
work, and would compare favorabIy
with the fancy slippers or shoes of
the present day. 1t was the right
of every lady to look as pretty as
possible. 1t is their nature to appear
beautiful.
1t has always been a question with
what we shall fasten u clothes
from the time it became fashionable
or convenient for US to adorn u
bodies with raiment. These fasten-
ings have changed much in the last
one hundred years. Buttons made
81 thread for under garments, held
position for an indefinite period
cannot say when they were first used,
but certainly they remained in use
for fifty years after the nineteenth
century was placed on the calendar.
Then they gave way to buttons made
of horn, bone, ivory, brass, etc. The
horn and bone must have been very
rough you bought them on a string,
probably a foot and a half long, put
on very tight, so you could hold
them out like u stick. Brass was
ased on coats, especially on the blue
brOadClOth, which was very fash
ionable at that time and was used on
all fine goods, but gourd buttons,
when covered with the same kind
of cloth, we're much used. Hooks
and eyes held the fashion for more
shan half a century, but cannot
say when they were first used. They
have held the chief place for fasten-
ing ladies dresses for more than
hree-fourths of a century.
When the first newly married
couple felt it incumbent upon them
