Vulnerable, instances of his personal
humor are comparatively rare.
On one occasion Lincoln, then poor
and obscure, was summoned rs wit
ness in contested will case, the
plaintiffs alleged that the testator
was of unsound mind.
Several Of his neighbors testified
that while in the company Of the de-
ceased they had nevef noticed any
thing strange in his actions Of speech.
Lincoln's testimony was to the same
effect, and he was interrupted by the
opposing lawyer. somewhat testy
and overbearing person, with the
remark: eyes, yes; we have heard all
about that. Now, the question is
how did the deceased act when alone? 2"
After moments reflection Lincoln
replied: "As far as lean recollect, I

Clemson's Fine Textile School.

fl. q . . +.
In his annual report to the board Of
taustecs Of Clemson College President
Nell incorporates tho following infor-
NATION furnished him by Prof. J. II.
NJ. Beatty, director of the textile de-
partment Of the college, which was es-
tablished q few years ago:
For the past few years, the increase
IN the production Of manufactured cot
ton goods, in the south, has been at
an enormous rate, 30 that, at present,
southern mills practically control che
output of plain white fabrics. So long
as there is bale of cotton in the south
to be manufactured, so long may we
expect cotton mills to be erected in the
south. But as the coarse goods sup
ply is already up to the demands, the
prospecting manufacturer must look
into the production of finer class of
fabrics.
1t is the purpose Of this school to
prepare young men 80 that after they
leave here, they may be competent to
secure positions in mills making any
class of goods whatever. This depart
ment has endeavored, and I think has
succeeded. in keeping abreast Of the
needs Of southern mills, yet all of the
divisions Of the work are more or less
hampered for lack Of proper equip
ment.
"Several new machines, and also @
considerable amount Of apparatus for
experimental purposes, have bcen add
ed to the department, and some other
equipment has been arranged for.
But still the need for additional equip.
ment is urgent. The supply Of power
looms is not adequate for the number
OF students using them. Sometimes
there are several students working on
the same Loom or standing about wait
ing an opportunity to get loom on
which to demonstrate some design
gotten out by them. This prevents
one getting the very best work out Of
the students. Ao yet there is no ma.
chinery in the school for printing,
mercerizing, etc., and as ell this class
Of finishing is done north for southern
mills. it is quite important that we
should make arrangements in the near
future for giving instruction along
these lines. To add the machinery
named above will require considera-
BILE amount Of money, for two reasons;
first, these special machines are ex-
pensive, and second, the multiplica-
tion of textile schools throughout the
country has produced such drain on
the generosity Of machine builders
that they have arrived az the point Of
not donating, but charging half price
for machinery shipped these sch ools.
So in the future We may expect to pay
something like half value for all addi.
tional machine equipment"
President Nell adds:
'Prof. Beaty also reports that the
past year has been the most success
full in the history Of the schools. The
scope and thoroughness Of the instruc-
tion ha- e. seeded that Of any former
year. All the instructors have been
deeply interested in their work, and
have put the students through a broad
er and more systematic course Of study.
Several of the graduates are holding
important positions with some OF the
mills OF this section

PERSIAN CARPET WEAVING.
Finest Work Done by Boys Eight to
 Twelve Years Old.
Scientific American

Scientific American.
 A replica of the famous carpet from the mosque of Ardabil. which is now pre- served in the South Kensington Museum, London. is being made at Tabreez, Per- sia, the center of the carpetmaking in- dustry of that country. The Towering and designing of this carpet are unique.
 A handpainted design of the original has been furnished to the Persian weav- CTS. and so skillfully Is the work being carried out that it is stated by the Eng. fish Consul General that when completed original carpet, so faithfully Is the work being reproduced, both with regard to coloring and detail.
 The carpet is being woven by boys ranging from to 12 years of age. They Their method of procedure Is to pull the wool from a. reel suspended above their heads in their left hands, and, with a flat knife provided with a. crooked point in their right. dash the thread, with three movements through the web strings hook 1t into the desired knot. cut off the surplus ends and start another knot .he work is carried out with such remarka- bie rapidity that 1t Is almost impossible to follow the movements of the weaver.
 Before setting to work the weavers closely study the painted design which they have to reproduce and then depend entirely upon their memories to enable the work to be completed. Their memo- ries are so reliable that it Is very seldom they will refer back to the painted de- sign. When working upon complicated pattern the foreman of the loom-a boy about 14 years of sage-walks up and down, calling out in a curious monotone the number of stitches and the colors of the threads to be used.
 The Persian rugs and carpets are made by hand throughout and none but vege- table or natural dyes are employed. It is to this fact that the longevity and durability of the Persian rugs are attrib- utable. especially in connection with the colorings. '>

FEAR OF GHOSTS.
A Woman Who Had Thought That
 She Was Not Superstitious.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
 "One may boast About not being afraid Sf ghosts" said bright little woman yesterday. "but after all there is some what of this old superstition in human nature, and the bravest of us sometimes feel chill creeping un our backs. Now, l have talked great deal about myself in this respect, and, have been inclined to boast how different I was from other women in this respect. But, recently ! out of the same old kind of clay which Is used in making other members of my sex. do not mind telling the story Urine of averages in its broadest sense and the incident simply goes to show that I am right in believing it:
 T had occasion to call on friend of after the sun had gone down. She lives in an isolated part of a well known thoroughfare, and not far from very prominent cemetery. Trees are grouped never thought of it in this connection before brushed by the cemetery with out thinking of ghosts or any sort of SUI pernatural agency, rushed into the road. up on the porch and pressed the bell. Imagine my surprise when the door the bell! And there. with arms out stretcned-long. bony arms-stood hI- man skeleton to welcome me into the place How did feel? cannot describe It. There was ulH iignI Ialung on tne skeleton. Otherwise the hall was dark There was no other respC nse to my ring A second seemed to lengthen out into a century of time. I did not have the nerve to walk into the house. did not want the skeleton to get between me and the door l was ashamed to turn back into the street. and that favorite weapon of all women in distress, the scream--well. simply did not have voice enough to scream.
 Finally the lady of the house came to my rescue. l never felt better in my life. She said had no doubt noticed the skeleton sty the ndoor. (Yes, I had noticed it), and she went on to explain that the evening before they had en- joyed a phantom party at her home. and had neglected to move the grim member who had welcomed the guests. Hereafter l will know how to sympathize with men and women who are afraid of ghosts. for I guess I must have had the same feeling"

 Do not put water into the bag that is hotter than you can hold your finger in; fill the bag. only about one-half full or a little more; then lay it in your lap before putting in the stopper and care fully press out the steam. This makes the bag soften, as 1t is relieved of the pressure the steam makes If left in it. When not using the bag. drain out the water, let it hang bottom up for a little while; then take 1t down. with the mouth blow a little air Into it, just enough to keep the inside from coming together; then put the stopper in tight and hang 1t top up. The air keeps the inside from sticking together. as 1t will often do If there is no air in 1t. winch case the bag is quite sure to be ruined in pulling 1t apart.
