AT THE NIGHT SESSION
there was very good attendance
The committee on programme re-
ported that the first paper would be
"Tbe Country Editor; q Business
Man or Philanthropist," by Col.
James T. Bacon, of the EdgeGeld
Chronicle. Everyone, of course,
knows of the brightness and inimita-
BILE style of Col. Bacon. He had a
great many hard and solid facts in
what he had to say and the charm
and piquancy of his sayings caught
all. He led item by item to show
how the average editor only got the
"dirty driblets'' as his recompnsse,
and it was simply exquisite to hear
him describe trials and tribulatlene
of the average editors who were
philanthropists and that he himself
was the greatest of all philanthro-
'pists IN all Carolina. The address
was a gem in every way.
Mr.. j. Frank Fooshe, of Winns-
boro, read an excellent paper on the
newspaper as an educator. Mr..
Fooshe covered the subject very full
" and worked out his theme in a
high and dignifed manner, He
pointed ont great many things that
the editors of South Carolina might
do at this time for the good of the
State. He made some strong points
urging that the editors now might

roads, good free rural delivery and

Mr.. ]. C. Darlington, of Spartan
burg, made strong presentation in
favor of the Mergenthaler type set
ting machine as against the Simplex
type, setting machine.
Mr.. Darlington was asked to pre-
pare his remarks for publication in
the minutes of the Association.
One of the pleasantest incidents of
the day was the unanimous passage
by rising vote of the following reso-
luton, offered by Mr.. EIbert H Aull:
Resolved, by the South Carolina

Too Realistic.

During q performance OF "Captair
LapalsSe" at Valencia theate3 some
years ago an incident occurred which,
for lifelike effect, left nothing to be de.
sired. During the said play some Of
the actors mingle with the spectators
III order to cooperate from the body OF
the house. No sooner had Miralles, the
actor, taken his seat in the stalls than
daring pickpocket robbed him of his
gold watch. Miral1es seized the man
by his coat collar and called out in q
deep bass voice;
Police. Help. Thievesw
The audience, taking this little epi,
sode to be part of the performance,
roared with laughter Even the police
men joined in without stirring hand or
foot.
This is no farce" cried the actor IN
tones OF despair. 1.-THE fellow has got
ny watchv
The voice sounded so nasural that
the audience broke into loud applause
at such excellent fooIing." Meanwhile
the thief managed TO break away from
his captor and escaped.

The Sense Of Feeling.

Some Of our most important organs
for instance, the heart, the brain and
the lungs-are, strange to say, quite
inSensible to touch, thus showing that
not only are nerves necessary for the
sensation, but also the special end or
gans. Fhe curious fact was noticed
with tile greatest astonishment by
Harvey, who, while treating a patient
for an abscess that caused a large
cavity in his side found that when he
put his fingers into the cavity he could
actually take hold of the heart without
the patient being in the least aware Of
what he was doing. This so interested
Harvey that he brought King Charles
/. to the mans bedside that "he might
himself behold and touch so extraor.
dinary thing"
In certain operations a piece of skin
is removed from the forehead TO the
nose, and it is stated that the patient,
oddly enough. feels as if the new
nasal part were still in his forehead
and may have a headache in his nose.

NECESSITY OF sLUMBER.
Death by Sleep1essnesm q Chinese
Punfshmemt.

Punishment.
"a person absolutely without sleep
for nine days will die" says writer
In Ainslee's. Sufferers from insomnia
sometimes maintain that they have
gone for weeks without sleeping, but it
has been proved that they do sleep
without being aware of it. At GER
tain point sleep is inevitable, no mat
ter what the bodily condition, the al
tentative being death. Prisoners have
slept on the rack of the inquisition.
And the Chinese found that only the
greatest ingenuity and vigilance could
carry out a sentence of death by sleep
lessness. This mode of capital punish
ment was long in favor in China and is
said to be so today, while as form OF
torture deprivation of sleep is consid-
cred one of the most efticacious weap-
Ons in the Chinese judicial arsenal.
IN some such cases the prisoner is
kept in a cage too small to stand up or
lie down in and constantly prodded
with sharp rod. DeatHs by starvation,
also Chinese punitive method, is
would think, more calculated to appeal
to the oriental mind If it were not
that death by sleeplessness is thought
so much more painful. In the lat
ter case the brain is the first affect
ed OF all the organs of the body, while
in case of starvation the brain longest
retains its normal weight and charac~
ter.
"a corresponding mode of tanning
wild elephants is said to be depriving
the animals Of sleep when first caught.
In few days they become compare
lively spiritless and harmless. The
brain of the elephant is held to be
more highly developed than that OF
any other wild animal, but Of course
as compared with a human brain can
be easily fatigued by new Impressions
and so made very dependent on sleep.
The wild elephant in his native jungle,
however, is said to sleep very little a
further point for the theory of the UNI
versal ratio of sleep to intelligence.
A man taken out of his habitat and
placed in conditions which he never
could have imagined-if transported
to Mars. say-would doubtless need an
extraordinary amount of sleep at first,
There is the almost parallel case of "a
German boy, Casper Hauser, who up
to the age of eighteen was kept in one
room where he had no intercourse vita
hdman beings or sight Of any natural
object, not even the sky. At eighteen
he was brought to Nuremberg ana
abandoned in the street. For the first
slept almost constantly and so soundly
that it was very hard to wake him.

A GENEROUS EDITOR.
Cheated by a Fake Story I'm His Own
Newspaper.

Newspaper
The following true story of a New
York reporter is told by a correspond.
ent:
''As reporter my friend had not won
the regard of his city editor. He fire.
quently failed to return from an as
signment with a good story SO when
he was told to draw $40 from the of
flee, go out and give it to a man genu.
inely in need of it and then write, as
social study, the needy mans valuation
of current reports of abounding pros
perity in the country my friend thought
he had task that was easy, but or
ganized charity would not, because of
principle, encourage such 'indiScrimi-
nate giving and refused to tell of any
one who was in extremity. Going
down to the Bowery, the reporter
questioned a policeman and was di-
rected to a certain tenement. When
he got there. the man had been dispos-
sessed and had taken his family out of
the neighboTlOOd. After no success
with two other devices for discovering
a man really in want it looked as
though the reporter would once more
have to go back to the office and re.
port failure.
But what so preposterous as to say
to the city editor that man who was
badly off for the lack of $40 and who
had views on the subject of prosperity
was not to be found?
press time was near. Some plan of
action had to be decided on. Meeting
a friend who, though earning good
deal, always spent more, the reporter
said, For heavens sake, don't you
need $10Y With excellent presence of
mind the man answered in the proper
way, and the reporter dashed back to
his desk to write his little social study
He imagined a poor man who had
pitiful need and told an imaginary tale
about him
''It was charming, but very sad
The city editor next afternoon praised
him: it was the finest story of the
day. He added: Already several men
have stopped in to leave checks and
here is fifty dollar bill the chief him
self just dropped on my desk for the
poor man. You cash these checks and
take all the money to him and write
something about the relief it will af,
ford to him. Wait moment; here's
another $25. Why. it's from the chief
again; you see what an impression
you've made" Taking the money, the
young reporter hesitated. fumbled ii.
'Well?' inquired the city editor.
''Then the young reporter had to
give the account of the hunt for
needy man as here set forth. After
looking out the window long time
the city editor said:
"'Of course you are Indefinitely sus-
pended. / ought to devise some tor
ture for you also. You might he con-

feelings the old man will haye-that

The Word ss.Inas :"

''lt's a mistake to suppose that joss
is a Chinese word" says a retired
ships carpenter. 1--WE travelled good
bit in the orient in my time, and
among the odds and ends of interest
ing information / picked up was a
knockout OF the genuineness of joss
as Chinese word. Cinnamon only
know joss when they come in con-
tract with Europeans. A Chinese priest
that l became chummy with in Han
kow told me that there was no such
word in Chinese. He explained that
the word was a corruption of the
Spanish word 'Dios' and had come into
use through the missionaries. Many
early missionaries, he said, were Span
ish priests, and their pronunciation of
'Dios' was speedily corrupted into
joss by native tongues and applied to
the Chinese deities. It's only on the
Chinese seaboard that the word is un-
derstood by Cinnamon. In the inte-
rior, the priest told me. the Celestials
had no knowledge of it."-Philadelphia

AMOY'S GRAVEYARDS.
The City and the Cemeteries Are
HOpelessIy IRterminGIed.

The City and the Cemeteries Are
H0pelessly IRtermingIed.
The city of Annoy is on an island Of
the same name. For upward of 1000
years it has been an important trading
place. The population of the island
Is estimated at over 400,0 900, and it has
been said that there are something like
100000 dead bodies packed in its soil.
For many centuries the hillsides of the
city have been used as burying
ground. Now the city and the ceme-
terry are hopelessly mixed. The graves
touch one another at every point and
form a solid white surface of rock,
brick, porcelain and cement, covering
more than 100000 square feet. Near
one of the josshouses 10000 bodies are
buried vertically to save space. They
stand on plot of ground OF as many
feet square.
The wells from which the city draws
It's water supply are shallow and are
sunk on the edge of graveyards and
even among the tombS themselves.
The water is muddy and is colored by
the perpetual turning up of the soil.
1t has no sewers, and the streets vary
from two feet to six feet in width.
No wheeled vehicle can use them.
Here and there is. an open place or
plaza, dug out SO as to be a huge re-
ceptacIe into which the streets dis
charge their refuse. Filth abOunds,
and its twin sister. disease, fiourishes.
The atmosphere is laden with noXious
smells, and the burial of the dead goes
ON at an alarming rate.
