Everybody likes to read about the

cation, being barely able to read and
write. His occupation was that Of
driver for a butcher, and he earned

the Rev. Burris Jenkins, who saw in
the boy a diamond in the rough. The
preacher encouraged George to educate
himself. The boy gave up his position
as driver and started to attend school
Almost a man in size, he entered the
classes with the smallest children. To

plate are the only necessaries, and
these are forged of a quality of steel
which will resist the action Of the
heat. The upper end of the post Is
shouldered to form a base on which
the plate can rest, while a steel pin
may be used to lock the two together
One side of the plate is left solid, but
three sides have openings exactly SIM
liar to those of a stove top, and lids
may be provided to cover them. If the
cook desires to hurry some particular
pot or cool of another. all that is nee
essary is to swing the top of the stove
around on its post to bring the pot
where the flame is hottest, or vice
versa. There Is no danger of this stove
upsetting, as the central post is driven
firmly in the ground before the fire is
started.

Japanese and Their Shirt Collars.
The increase of stature among the
Japanese is very perceptible; and the
substitution of tepid and even cold wa
ter for the hot baths among many of
the people is responsible for an increas-
ing tioridity of the complexion. Before
the advent Of military discipline on Eu-
ropean models the Japanese were nota-

that thirteen inches was the normal
circumference of a full-grown Japa-
neses throat. In little over twenty
years, owing to more athletic develop
ment, the average has risen an inch
and half. To athletic development
should also be added greater avoirdu-
pois, inasmuch as more generous diet
and abstention from parboiling are
bringing their reward in an accumula-
ton of muscle and tissue.-Chambers

DROUGHT is BROKEN.
This section of the state Refreshed by
Heavy Downpour OF Rain.


Heavy Downpour of Rain.
The long and costly drought was
broken in this section at an early hour
SUNDAY morning by storm which
swept over this section of the State
and deluged the parched earth with a
heavy downpour of ram. The storm.
while severe, did no material damage
to the property. Rain came down
steadily for couple of hours, when it
stopped and did not come down again
until Sunday afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
At that hour it began again and came
down steadily for two or three hours,
soaking the earth aud filling the water
courses to the top of the banks. The
rain was greatly needed and did an
immense amount of good to the grow
ing crops. some of which it saved
from heing total loss. 1t did not
come in time. however to save much
of the hav crop, 1t being pretty well
burned up. Other crops. as well as
fruits and vegetables were greatly
benefited. The rainfall, as reported
by Mr.. George Vanmeter for this
vicinity was 3-5 inches for Saturday
night and SUNDAY afternoon.

ter. have been awarded q large con-
tract bv the Cumberland Valley Rail-
road to furnish ballast for 20 miles of
their line. The ballast will be placed
on the roadbed from Intersection to

contract will consume about 400, 600
yards of stone ballast, which will be
crashed at the quarries near Winches-
ter. The same firm has supplied bal
last to other railroads.
