A Sensible Man.

The Mooresville On. G. } Enterprise tells
an interesting story of sensible Cabarrus
eounry farmer. His friends have for
several years sought to have this farmer
come out for the office of sheriff, 'sbut to
no avail y The Enterprise continues
s'He holds that his farm pays him fairly
good returns-in other words, he is pros
porous in his present occupation. In case
he should be elected to county office the
duties would require at least two years to
become acquainted with the routine work
and at the same time unfit him for the oc-
cupation he now follows. After two years
the routine ohiceholding agitation would
GUST him and leave him in town out of
employment and party victim, with no
prospects of future political career. He
says he will stay on the farm, where he
knows that his job will last, and if the
seasons are favorable he will continue to
prosper and live content. "
There are not many men who take this
view of the subject of oficeholding, and
yet it is undoubtedly the correct view.
Holding office is the poorest business in
the world unless man could follow 1t
steadily as lifetime occupation, and this
few men are permitted to do. This Ca
barrus man is wise in seeing the end from
the beginning-fortunate in being able to
realize that in the outcome there is nothing
in it for him except disappointment and
loss

$40. The license costs 81; the preacher, it is
claimed, usually gets So, the brakeman 81,
the newsboy 50 and the hackman 81. Some
times the hackman EFFORTS S..
When the train rolls into the Queen City
Station the newsboy on the car platform
usually signals to the hackman lined along
the pavement how many couples are on board
by holding up his fingers. Nearly all the
itinerant couples are hauled to the same
minister. frequently the hackmen indulge
in fight over who is tGs haul the couples to
certain preachers, no matter what evangeli-
cal denomination may be asked for. telling
them that the one to officiate represents their
many as five ont-of-town couples day, nearly
all coming from Western Pennsylvania.
Rev. Albert H. Zimmerman presented the
resolutions, making statement of fact aud
condemning the practice at the Ministerial
Association Monday, and his statements were
given unanimous Endorsement

A Lamp Chimney Which Was Used
For q Hammer.

Louis Kauffeld, owner Of large glass
factory near Muncie, Ind, claims to have
discovered the secret Of manufacturing NAL
leable glass, the long lost art of the ancients.
He says he is now manufacturing semi NAL
leable ware, according to despatch in the
Washington Times, soon will be able top put
on the market kind of glass that wsll be
as malleable as any of the metals.
In the presence of the correspondent and
a workman Mr.. Kaufeld took glass chin
ney of ordinary appearance, put as much
water in it as it would hold when it was
placed horizontally, and placing it over
fire, proceeded to boil the water without
cracking the chimney.
Next, this same chimney was heated
until it was almost at the melting point and
plunged into cold water. The chimney
went through the ordeal without injury,
Kaufeld followed this experiment by
taking up the now cooled chimney and using
it as a hammer, driving goodsized nail
into tough board with it. Again the
chimney came forth unframed.
While Kauffeld's process is unknown
to any body except himself he volunteered
the information that the lime and lead that
are used in the manufacture of ordinary
glass do not enter into the composition of
this. What the substitutes are ne would

Handmade Marble.


In the city of Tacoma, says the Savan-
nah News, some scientific sharps have dis
covered way to do in two days what it
has heretofore taken Nature 1000, 600
years to accomplish, according to biologists.
Gypsum is what has been called for con-
venience young marble that is, if left
to its self some thousands or millions Of
years it would become marble. These
Tacoma sharps are now sharping their gyp-
sum lathes and chisels-it is soft and easy
worked and then subjecting it to secret
treatment which makes really marble of a
very high quality. The gypsum is
brought from mines in Alaska. 1t is said
to be exactly the same substance as goes to
form marble.

Rev John Thompson, Of Rockford, H.,
must be a truly modest man. He declines,
to accept the degree ofD. D. rendered him
by a nearby university, on the ground that
he has not displayed the scholarly attain
ments or done the great works for which,
in his judgement, such degree should be
conferred. His position is correct, but it
is one seldom observed in the crowd of appi
cants who besiege the college for honors,
to be used in self-advetising.
