THE OUTLOOK.
Some Things That Have Been Accom-
plished During the Past Year and
a Glimpse at the Future.

The outlook for Five Mile Beach to-
day despite the monetary stringency is
exceedingly bright, and this statement
is warranted by the prevailing condi-
lions that now exist on the island. AT
Anglesea three cottages have been cree
ted since the first of September, five are
under construction at Wildwood and
tWenty-four are either under way or
contracted for at Holly Beach, in all 81
houses and at a net cost of not less than
$4,000. The best feature of all in the
improvements is the fact that only one
per cent. of all the cottages erected so
far have been built for speculative pur-
poses or renting. Ninety-nine per cent.
have been built with the single purpose
OF occupancy by the owners. This fact
attests the solidity of the boom which
prevails on the beach and it also de-
monstrates the fact that the tide of pub
lie travel has Enthusiastically turned to
the resorts OF this beach. All these
conditions are favorable and are the
reasons which have been the means OF
inviting outside capital within our bor-
ders. Who can gainsay thefact it was
the vast strides that the beach was
making in Improvements that warran-

A Geological Fallacy.

Probably the most wild and un]usti-
fable of all the crude beliefs respecting
geological resources is that which holds
TO the conviction that by going deep
,snough the drill Is sure TO find some
thing Of valae, no matter at.what point
the work Of boring IS lconmenced
There arc numerous WISE persons in
every comm munity, es.imable, influen-
tial and IN the highest degree public
spirited. who are convinced that the
question, for example, OF finding coal
ln their special locality is simply a
matter OF the depth to which the ex-
ploratIons are carried. Rock oil and
natural gas are recognized as desirable
products in every progressive commu-
atty, and every such community con-
tains | ersons, in other respects intelli-
gent, who are ready to stake their own
fortune and at of their nearest friends
On the belief that OF and gas are every
where underneath the surface, and
that their sources can be tapped with
the drill, providing there is sufficient
cap;tal to keep mp the process of drilling
long enough.

A Beautiful Idea.

Selected.
Away among the Alleghanies there
is spring so small that a single OK
could drain it dry on summer day.
It steals its unobtrusive way among
the hills till it spreads out IN the beau
tiful Ohio. Thence it stretches away
thousand miles, leaving on its banks
more than a thousand villages and
cities, and bearing on its bosom more
than a halt a thousand steamboats,.
Then joining on The Mississippi. it
stretches away some twelve hundred
miles m ore, till it falls into the great
emblem Of eternity. 1t is one OF the
great tributaries OF tie ocean, which,
obedient only TO G ID, shall roll a1d
roar until the angel, with one foct on
the sea and the other on the land,
shall lift up his hand to heaven and
swear that time shalt be no longer.

care of ill-tempered. impatient men,
and the result is not difficult to fore

one kicking cow in Il herd will do more

turbs the quiet of the dairy has a die
rect effect on the yield of milk, and
it's worth in dollars and cents. Tho
kicking COW will kick more value out
of the milkpail than we can feed in
from the meal barrel.

killing Time. "

Roanoke Times.
A young man day or so ago was
seen to approach a crowd OF young met
loaiing In front of one OF the stores OF
Jefferson street, to whom he made the
remark, What are you all doing?
.Oh, just killing time," answered one
of them. This is very common OK
preston and very iorcible one. But
its meaning is something fearful. l.
is the young man who, general,
speaking, does the killing Of time; for
in advanced age it Is ali too late t.
make amends; time that has been kill
ed can never be resurrected. "Killing
time" literally Expresses fact, and
when. so killed ie is as dead to all in
tents and purposes as though it had
been a living body. But the sadness Of
the thought. What regrets must come
to those who, having passed the merld-
ian Of life, and the lengthening shad.
ows are pointing to the grave, LOOKING
hack over their past lives, recall the
time that has been killed. To save
time lengthens the life; to kill time.
shortens it. Life Is short at best,
without the act of ones yolition coz
tributing to the fastening. The value
of few moments Of each day is sci
d 1m calculated. Bonaparte once said
that he won his battle because his enc
nias did not know the value OF five
minutes. So it is with everyone.
There Is no battle OF life that cannot
be won il due regard is had for The
i've minutes day. With the multi
plication OF books and the simplifica
ton Of The elementary principles IN
every art or profession, thirty minutes
dsyof diligence and application vii
sooner or later mean the mastery o.
the art or profession.
The young man who deliberately
kills time commits crime against
himself and natures laws. The quofa
Of time meted out to everyone has n,
surplus moments, and he who can sue
foessiuIly weave the whole Of lies f-b
lric ID the given tIme has dane we'll.
