DIFFERENCES IN FOGS.
Sea Mist and London Gloom Have
Nothing In Common.


Nothing In Common.
The fog of London and the fog of
the sea alike discOmpose traffic, and
omnibuses and steamships alike have
had to lay to for safety. But while
the London fog gets into your inmost
room and battles even the electric light
though the candle comes out tfium-
phant curiOusly-the densest fog at
sea does not disturb the saloon or the
staterOOm. Why is that?
The word fog" has not been traced
further back than the sixteenth cen
tury, but the thing was known in the
early years of the fourteenth. The
commons, with the prelates and mobiles
visiting London for the parliaments
and on other occasions, united to peti-
ton Edward l. to compel the burning
only of dry wood and charcoal, as the
growing use of sea coal corrupted the
air with it's stink and smoke, to the
| great prejudice and detriment of
health. In 1906 the king prohibited
the use of coal. Heavy ransom and
| fines were inflicted for diSObedience.
In the case of recalcitrant brewers, dy-
| ers and other artificers the furnaces
and lilns were destroyed. But the re-
strictiOn was evidently removed, for in
1908 $250-probably equal to about 81,
600 nOw-wds paid from the exchequel
for wood and coal for the coronation
of Edward II.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Candies.

Such candies as peanut brittle are far
less injurious than fancy mixtures, as
they are made by simply melting sugar
aud are without acids Acid in the
presence of heat splits ordinary sugar
into two forms, dextrose and levulose.
These are both deadly sweets and much
more prone to fermentation than real
sugar. This is the reason why so many
housewives cannot make good cranber-
ry or other jelly.

USRfuInRsa.

1t is a great satisfaction at the close
of life to be able to look back on the
years that are past and to feel that you
have lived not for yourself alone, but
that you have been useful to others.
You may be assured also that the
same feeling is a source of comfort
and happiness at any period of life.
Nothing in this world is so good as
usefulness. 1t binds your fellow crea-
lures to you and you to them; it tends
to the improvement of your own char
acter, and it gives you a real impor-
tance in society, much beyond what
any artificial station can bestow.

The Bond Issue and the Super
VlSOrS.

The editorial in our last issue on the
recent issue of bonds 10y the Board of
Supervisors Of the county for road
purposes, was very brief and may not
have stated all the facts with sufficient
clearness From some remarks which
have come to our ears, we deem Il
fuller and clearer statement necessary.
as we have no desire to do anyone an
injustice, either directly or by implica-
ton. The facts as gathered from first
hands, are these: The Tazeweu Ma
tiOnal Bank made Il straightout offer for
the bonds which after some considcra-
ton on the part of the Board was ac-
cepted. This action on the part Of the
president of the bank of Tazewell was
a plain business transaction. and clear
ly his right, which no one has question
ed jim the least, or can question. The
supervisors reasoned that. as they
were getting more for the bonds than
had ever been gotten before, and were
selling them i'm the same way that
their predecessors had sold them. they
, were doing as well as could be done.
and, no doubt, fearing that as good an
offer might not be made again. the
trade was closed. This, rs We gather
it, is the exact state of the ease, briefly
told. The Board, we are assured.
thought they were doing the best that
could be done, and as they were not
in the habit of handling large sums of
money in the shape of bond issues.
