The Legislature of North
Carolina has elected Hon. l..
S. Overman to the United
States Senate. A few years
ago a wave of populism roll
ed over that state and upon
it Marion Butler rode into
the Senate. Dissention in
the ranks of democracy also
landed Pritchard, republican,
in the upper house Of Con-
gross. Now both have been
succeeded by democrats, Sen
ator Simmons and Overmap,
the latter of whom was for
many years secretary of the
lamented Vance. Not long
ago the intelligent white vo-
tiers of North Carolina deter
mined to control the polite
al affairs Of the state. The
first move they made was to
"get together" and eliminate
the negro, then the balance
was easy. May they forever
hereafter remain in power.

THE Gallatin News says
"Since the passage of the
Adams-J ohnson temperance
bill, the doings of the legis-
lature have but little inter-
est for the general public. In
fact there are a great many
people of the opinion that the
general assembly might ad-
journ now without doing any
very great harm to the state. "

six MONTHS HENCE.
Things at the White House
Looking mighty curious;
Nig,ers running everything,
White people furious.
Niggers on the front porch,
Niggers on the gable,
Niggers III the dining room,
Niggers at the table.
Niggers in the sitting room,
Nj liking all the talk;
Niggers in the ballroom
Doing cake walk.
Niggers in the east room
Make a mighty throng,
Niggers in the music room
Singing a coon song.
Niggers in the hallway
Taking off their wraps,
Niggers in the billiard room
Shooting game of craps.
Niggers in the store room
Packing way their plumber,
Niggers in the bedroom
Snoring like thunder.
Not a room in White House
Without niggers many;
Baby in nursery
A niger pickaninny.
Niggers on the stairway
With very much safety,
Niggers in the blue room
Assembled for society.
Niggers in the front yard,
Niggers in the back;
Niggers come in omnibus,
And niggers come in hack.
On they 60 to Washington
With a mighty rush;
Forty thousand niggers
Getting in the push.
There is trouble in the White
House
More than you can tell,
Yelling like wild men,
Niggers raising hell.
l see way to settle it,
Just as clear as water
Let Mr.. Booker Washington
Marry Teddy's daughter.
Or, if this does not overflow
Teddy's cup-of JOY,
Then let Miss Dinah Washington
Marry Teddy's boy.
But everything is settled;
Roosevelt is dead.

The mechanism of the leg and foot Of
a chicken or other bird that roosts on
limb Is marvel of design II often
seems strange that II bird will sit on II
roost and sleep all night without fall
ing off, but the explanation Is perfectly
simple. The tendon of the leg OF II
bird that roosts Is so arranged that
when the leg is bent ut the knee the
claws are bound to contract and thus
hold with sort Of death grip the limb
round which they are placed. Put a
chickens feet on your wrist and then
make the bird sit down and you will
have practical illustration on your
skin that you will remember for some
time. BY this singular arrangement,
seen only In such birds as roost. they
VIII rest comfortably and never think
Of holding on, for 1t Is impossible for
them TO let go till they stand up.

Surgery Is said to be older than
medicine. and probably. In It's simplest
offices, 1t IL as old as human need for
II. Skulls of the ncolithie period give
evidence that the operation of trcpan-
ming was then practiced.
The Hlndoo surgeon Susruta. who
lived several centuries before Christ
had more thnn hundred different
sorts of surgical instruments, and there
Is abundant proof TINT his countrymen
were skilled In amputation, llthOtomy
and operations for hernia, iistula and
even for restoring lost ears and noses.
Hippocratcs, who lived 400 Is. c., was
skillful surgeon, and discoveries by
Ebers and others In Egypt prove that
the ancient Egyptians practieed sur
gerry, with suitable Instruments, nearly
5000 years ago.
Among the six hermetic books of
medicine mentioned by Clement Of
Alexandria was one devoted to sur
gical INSTRUMENTS. The Greeks are
thought TO nave learned the HindoO
methods, and the Romans were skilled
In surgery.

Charles Sturgeon once said that
there were three great enemies to man
dirt, debt and the devil. He
might have added one more d and in
cluded dyspepsia. The evil results of
this disease could hardly be exaggerat-
ed. It's effects are felt in mind and
body, and are as far reaching as the
effects OF the curse that was laid on the
Jackdaw of Rheims which was cursed
in "oating and drinking and sleeping,
in standing and sitting and lying. y
The good effects of DIR. Plerce's Col
den Medical Discovery are most mark
ed in aggravated and chronic cases of
dyspepsia. 1t enables the stomach
glands to secrete the necessary guam
tity of digestive fluids, and this at
once removes that craving or gnawing
sensation so common to certain forms
OF indigestion. 1t tones and regulates
the stomach, invigorates the torpid
liver and gives the blood making
glands keen assimilative power. "Gol-
den Medical Discovery cures ninety
eight per cent. of those who use it.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are sup
erior to all other laxative medicines
when the bowles are obstructed.

How Fresh Air Is Supplied In the
Modern Tall buildings.

Modern Tall buildings.
Hundreds of men and women are
boxed up all day long in little cages
on every floor of the modern office
building Yet this mass of huddlcd
humanity never suffers from any lack
of fresh air The ventilation IS per
feet, II fact which often surprises for
elgn architects.
The delivery of fresh air into Il sky
scraper Is as big busiess as the de-
livery of water or electricity. 1t is not
left to chance. Cold, fresh air Is forced
into the building 10y blowing engine
md passes through large duets and
controlling registers TO the different
rooms. In winter this air Is heated
by passing through coils of steam
pipes.
Often the blower is arranged 20 de
FLYER both hot and cold air, and the
ducts are provided with mixing valves
which can be set TO combine the two
blasts In any required proportion.
Thus one can have fresh air of exact
iy the temperature called for by the
weather.
Bad air is got rid of by wall regis
tiers near the floor through which the
Initiated mir escapes into ducts which
lead TO n large common outlet above
the roof. These ducts may be of sheet
iron or they may he of tile built In
the wall like chimney nues. Some
times they are large spaces Enclosed In
the upper parts of the corridors by
false ceilings.
In other cases the bad air is taken
TO the basement and discharged by an
exhaust fan into n tall outside shaft
used for that purpose only.-New York

Test of Reading

Ii Is often said that IL speech reads
well ii is not good speech. There
may be some truth In 1t. The reader
cannot of course, get the impression
which the speaker conveys by look and
tone and gesture He lacks that mar
yelous influence by which In great
assembly the emotion of every indlyid-
ual soul Is multiplied by the emotion OF
every other. The reader can pause and
dwell upon the thought If there be a
fallacy, he Is not hurried away to do
something else before he can detect it.
SO, also, his more careful and deliber-
ate criticism will discover offenses of
style and taste which pass uDheeaeh In
speech when uttered But still the
great oratoric triumphs OF lite. iture
and history stand the test of reading In
the closet as well as of hearing in the
assembly. Would not Mark Antony's

Valuable Insects.
Perhaps there are few substances
contributed by animals to the materia
medica of greater value or more ex-
tenslyely beneficial than certain species
of insects. or these there are none
more highly esteemed for medical pur-
poses thnn those beautiful shining,
green colored insects known as blister
Ing beetles. or cantharidcs. Their cor,
rosive action Is SO great that they fire.
quently intame and exeorate the
hands of those who collect them, and
on this property their chief medicinal
virtue depends. They are generally
used in the form of plasters or oint-
mcnt, and in cases of violent yisceral
inflammation their external use can
scarcely be supplied by any other medi-
cine.
