about noon today. Fl. L. Cannon who
said he was from Lindale, came to the
Midland hotel yesterday evening, regis
tered for the night and paid his lodging in
advance. He told the hotel peope not to
awaken him early in the Il. orniug Dur
ing the night the occupants of adjoining
rooms heard him groaning and vomiting,
but thought perhaps he was drinking
and did not molest him. Today when
the door of his room was opened he was
found dead and an empty six ounce
chloroform bottle was on the table by
the bed and the following note in legi-
Bile hand was near it:
midland Hotel. When you come
to call me this morning I will be dead.

brother comes. He will attend to my
removal.

We have been having some very colo
weather for the last week, but We hope
it will not continue very long. The
grain crop has been very much dam
aged by the cold.
The farmers have begun breaking up
the land and preparing for the plant
ing of the next crop.
Mrs. Nolan Sigh came up Saturday
to visit her father and mother, DR.. and
Mrs. J. P. johnson. She returned to
Newberry Sunday. Come again, we
are always glad to see you.
Mrs. Mary johnson has teen on quite
an extended visit to her daughter, Mrs
Woford at Woodruff.
Little Jared Wofford is visiting his
aunt, Miss Lula Johnson.
Miss Hattie Sem spent the last week
visiting her friend, Miss Ida Smith.
Misses Minnie McKitrick and Bessie
Workman made quite pleasant visit
to Mrs. Fred Johnson recently.
Rev. Mr.. Thrower preached at Taber-
nacle Church yesterday. Although we
have only heard him preach twice we
like him very much. Tabernacle school
has been moved near Mr.. John Miller's,
but as it is not completed yet the church
is being used as school house. 1t was
right sad to see the chimney taken
down, so many of the patrons went to
school, and learned their bc's right
there and shall we say received their
first (?) whipping.
The young people are anticipating a
lively time at Valentine party, at the
home of Mr.. James Johnson's next
Friday night.
Mrs. Tom Davis spent Saturday night
and Sunday with her brother, MIC W.
Buford.
Mr.. Land Waters has nearly sue
ceeded in getting free delivery
through this section of the country. It
is very much needed and will certainly
be convenient.
Mr.. Fred Johnson has begun work
at his saw mill again.
Some of our young men are going to
Jalapa right often here of late. We
cannot tell exactly what is the matter
but can amagine.
We have no newcomers this year but
Mr.. John Hitler. He lives in the Rich
Hill house this year. We are always
glad for new families to move in as
they area help to the community.
There is pair of grey horses in the
neighborhood. Look out girls! They
travel very nicely; but one of them has
the bad habit o. breaking loose and 60
ing home When the young man goes
to hitch up, instead of two horses, Lo!
there is only one! MACK.

report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with Scott: Emul-

to buy new ones.
One day keeper accident

This suggested the idea that it

then the monkeys have received

that suits the circus men.

EASY " SURE THINGS"
Some Propositions That 1t Is Safe to
Bet Against.

Some Propositions That 1t Is Safe to
Bet Against.
There are many things which at first
thought appear to be easy enough of
accomplishment that it is pretty safe
to bet man he cannot do. Most people
know that the human hands are not
strong enough to break a new laid egg
if the hands are clasped and the egg
laid endwise between the palms. 1t is
said that the pressure required to break
an egg in this manner amounts to tons.
Among other safe bets is a wager
that n man cannot rise from a chair
without bending forward or putting his
feet under the chair or outside of it.
Many man will back himself to give
another a start of 90 yards in a dash
of 100, provided the man having the
start hops all the way. But no runner,
however swift, can give that amount of
start to an ordinary man. For the first
five yards they go at practically the
same pace. Therefore the runner, to go
80 yards while the hopper" goes 40,
would have TO run more than twice as
fast, and it would be a weak man who
could not hop 45 yards at a pace equal
to 20 seconds for 100 yards, and that
would mean that the runner In order to
win would have to beat all previous
records.
If a man boasts that his penknife is
particularly sharp, ask him to cut with
one stroke of the blade one of those
yellow ribbons, mostly of silk, which
come around bundles of cigars. In 900
cases out of 1000 the knife is not sharp
enough to do this. 1t will cut through
all the ribbon but the last strand, and
that will pull out long. and the more
he tries to cut 1t the longer it will pull
| out.
1t is safe TO bet any one except a
blind man that he cannot stand with
out support OF any kind for five min
| utes at stretch if he is thoroughly

ANIMAL LIFE.

The army worm is essentially a
grass eating insect, though it often
feeds upon other plants, and is said to
prefer oats to corn.
The malaptecurus, a fish only eight
inches long, can develop a shock of 200
volts of electricity in the two-thou
sandth part of a second.
Several pairs of pigeons which sci
enlist has observed in Paris have rails
ed their young in nests made entirely
of hairpins collected on the paths of
the Luxembourg.
The largest nest in the world is built
by the mound bird, sort of Austria
liam fowl. 1t makes mounds some
times $50 feet in circumference, in
which it buries its eggs five feet deep.
The heaviest bird that flies is the
great bustard. In size it exceeds the
Norwegian blackjack. The old males
weigh about So pounds, but when food
is plentiful the young males may
weigh 40 pounds. Great bustards were
formerly as plentiful in western
Europe as cartridges. Now they are
rarely found.

One-third of the area of Canada is
practically unknown. There are more
than 100000 square miles of unex-

one-third of this country has yet been
untraveled by the explorer. Exclusive
of the inhospitable detached arctic por-
tons, 954, 200 square miles are for all
practical purposes entirely unknown.

Laudanum Drinking.

1t is surprising what ones constitu-
ton can be made to stand in the way
of narcotics. From small beginnings it
is possible to go on increasing the
doses until a quantity can be taken
which would kill two or three persons
unaccustomed to anything of the sort.
In the course of coroner's investiga-
ton at Sheffield, England. 1t was shown
that a man had been a constant lauda-
mum drinker for ten years. Commenc-
ing with a pennyworth at time. he
had gone on until he had taken fully
an ounce day.

The Human Ear.

The human ear is an organ the true
inwardness of which the physicians
hTve never been able to get at. They
can examine the interior of the eye
with ease by throwing into it's dark
chamber ray of light Aefected from
a little mirror, and they found it pos
sible even to see the gray matter of the
brain by looking through the little
canal by which the optic nerve enters.
The cavity behind the nose they in
spect with the aid of a light placed far
back in the mouth.
They have no difficulty in seeing into
the stomach by an electric apparatus;
the intestines likewise are readily
enough investigated, and the bladder
also. But the ear as to its internal
arrangements is unapproachable. 1t is
impossible to dissect it satisfactorily
after death, for the reason that the
parts collapse at once when the vital
spark leaves the body.

The Act of Dying.

The popular idea that the act of dying
is painful process often causes fear
of death. But death from even the
most painful mortal diseases is usually
preceded by period of cessation from
suffering and partial or complete insen-
sibility resembling falling asleep or the
pleasant gradual Cnconsciousness caus-
ed by an anasthetic.
The common phrase death agony" is
not warranted ~ what occurs in natu-
raj death, which is complete relief
from all pain. When death is owing to
heart failure or syncope, it is sudden
and painless-perhaps pleasant Death
by hanging, there is reason to believe,
is attended by voluptuous spasm.
Death by decapitation or electricity is
only momentary shock, hardly felt.
Death by poisoning varies in painful
ness according to the poison employed
Opium and other narcotics probably
give a painless, perhaps a pleasant,
dreamful death. Hemlock, as we know
from the account of the death of So
crates, causes gradual insensibility
from below upward. On the other
hand, arsenic, strychnine, carbolic and
mineral acids, corrosive sublimate, tar
tar emetic and other metallic poisons
inflict slow and torturing death. Prus-
sic acid and cyanide of potassium cause
quick and painful death.-Humanita
rian.
