Thursdays Session.

Tt had been intended that the Board OF
EQUALIZATION should sit in executive ses-
sion Thursday, beginning at ten o'clock
in the morning, to decide upon the com
plants of property owners regarding the
increased assessment of Raleigh real es-
tate: but there were so many aggrIeved
taxpayers who still wished to give in their
petitions that the board was compelled to
open the doors and again hear complaints
all the morning.
Finally, at three o'clock, they went into
executive session, but had time to decide
only a few of the cases. These they did
not give out yesterday, determining to
wait until all had been decided upon.

FRIDAYS Session,

The Board of Equalization was in execu-
tive session all day again Friday con-
sidering complaints of Raleigh property
owners about the increased assessment of
real estate.
Nothing could be learned last night as
to what action had been taken on any of
the exceptions, as the board decided TO
give out all the results at one time. How
ever, it is understood that it is not the
sense Of the board to order a general re-
assessment for Raleigh.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

A little thing sometimes results in death.
Thus a mere scratch, insignificant cuts or
puny bolls have paid the death penalty.
It IS wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve
ever handy. It's the best Salve on earth
and Will prevent fatality, when Burns.
Sores, Ulcers and Piles threaten. Only 25c.

There Ia a sand bank at Connemara,
on the west coast OF Ireland, that Is the
Mecca Of every curiosity seeker who 10
fortunate enough to know Of its exist
ence. As a general thing sand banks
are not great attraction, but In this
particular case the attractive power 10
not In the sand itself, but In the mil
lions Of extinct miniature shells which
are almost as numerous as the grains
gled. The largest of these little won.
ders Ia smaller than the smallest pin
head and some OF them 80 minute that
they can easily be put through the eye
Of common sewing needle, yet each IL
MS perfect as the pearly nautilus, the
spider she'll the sea urchin or any other
marine oddly.
They are Of all shapes and forms I'm.
aginable. One will have the perfect
outlines of miniature basket, another
will look like a fahy's tobacco box,
while third needs no effort of the i'm
agination to give 1t the form Of bot
tie. The fash shells OF Ceylon and Aus
tralia are the only living representa-
tives Of these Genealogical wonders.
Naturalists who have examined the
Ceylonese flash shells say that each Is
Allied with n tiny bit of jellylike sub
stance, which Of course is the animal
itself, but which Is so infinitesimal that
no distinction can be observed between
head and heart, mouth and stomach.

Dush.... dc Berry at Dispps.

Dieppe boasts OF being the most an
cient OF all the "bains de mer." Henri
Ill. repaired thlther In 1878 ito battle
In the sea In order TO cure certain all
ments from which he suffered"
For long time the Dieppe baths
were reported TO be efticacious in cases
Of hydrophobia. When Henry Tvs
little dog, Fanor. had been bitten by
big dog, supposed to be mad, It was
dispatched to Dieppe in charge Of a
groom OF the chamber, pour etre
mouille dams la mer," and Nine. de
Bevigne relates that some ladies' Of the
court who had been bitten by a mad
dog went there in 1871.
II was, however, the Duchesse de
Berry who popularized Dieppe. She
went there regularly from 1924 TO 1880
and once took part in really remark
able ceremony OF Inauguration on the
beach. While cannon Numbered and
bells pealcd and bands played she pub
licly entered the water, led by the
hand by the "royal medical inspector
Of the baths" who was attIred In even
Ing dress with kid gloves. One would
give a great deal for a snap shot Of
that performance.-Pnll Mall Gazette.

While looking through pile Of old
papers correspondent came across the
following article in a New York paper
Of the date Of Feb. o. 1859. under the
caption Of 1.-THE Smelt Railroad"
1T is we'll known that the Ports
mouth railroad has to turn everything
to account to pay running expenses,
and many are the jokes they perpetrate
upon the conductors In reference to
their shifts to get living. 1t Is said
that one Of them last year was accus-
toned to bring fish from Portsmouth
and peddle them out on the way to
Concord.
"One day he brought along smelts,
dealing out to customers at every sta
ton, till he got to Suncook, where he
blew his horn and an old woman came
out and wanted six, Just a pattern
I've got left. you're in the nick Of
time said he, and he began to count
them and found only Eve 'How's this2
l should have six And he began to
count his fingers and reckon over how
he had disposed of the four dozen he
had started with. After awhile: Il
have It'll Hold on little while and I'll
be back, said he. and he ran the train
back seven miles to a place where he
had let a woman have one more than
she had paid for, got 1t. came back to
Suncook and let the old woman have
the six she wanted. and then the 'smelt'
train went to Concord"-Manchester

Two well known military terms,
sentinel" and ''hussar." afford capital
instances of the remarkable manner in
which q nation does Its word twisting.
At first sight there seems little connec-
ton between the Latin word sentina,
signlfying the hold of ship, and a
soldier keeping watch over his sleeping
comrades. The connecting link is af-
forded by the word sentnator, the
Roman who pumped the hold of C@-
aar's galleys free Of bilge water Upon
his constant vigilance depended the
lives Of the entire ships company.
Similarly the word "hussar" is mere
ly Hungarian term signifying "twen-
tieth." 1t arose in this manner: When
Matthias Corvinus became king Of
Hungary in 1853 he was extremely
afraid of foreign invasion. He conse-
quently raised an army by the simple
expedient Of communicating every
twentieth individual In the land; hence
the hussar.

In 1903 the first Bible printed In
America was published In Cambridge.
II was unlawful to print an English
version Of the Scriptures, that right be-
ing a monopoly enjoyed by privilege
and patent In England. The one print

Morocco, In spite Of its close prox-
unity to Europe, IL the most fanatical
of the Mohammedan countries. Chris
tians are hated by the natives through
out the country, and II IL often very
dangerous to go outside the town OF
Tangier. The business Of Morocco Ia
entirely In the hands of the Moorish
Jews, who amass considerable wealth
In the coast ports. II Is not prudent
for Christian to stay anywhere but in
the Jewish quarter At the capital,

Among the Esklmos the sun Is q
maiden, and the moon is her brother
who Is overcome by a wicked passion
for her. Once as this girl was at a
dancing party In a friends hut some
one came up and took hold OF her by
the shoulders and shook her, which ID,
according to the legend, the Eskimo
manner OF declaring ones love. She
could not tell who 1t was in the dark,
and 80 she slipped her hand In some
SCOT and smeared one of his cheeks
with It. When light was struck in
the hut, she saw TO her dismay that It
was her brother and without waiting
to learn any more she took to her
heels. He started in hot pursuit. And
so they ran until they got to the end Of
the world, the jumping OFF place, when
they both jumped into the sky. There
the moon still chases his sister, the
sun, and every now and then he turns
his sooty cheek to the earth, when he
becomes 30 dark that you cannot see
him.
