Straw in Egyptian Brick.

The ancient Egyptians had a process,
for making bricks which rendered
them very hard, yet Easy TO work. All
American engineer, Mr.. Acheson
thinks he has discovered their secret
The Egyptians used straw and by boil
ing straw in water and mixing clay
with 1t he found that it gave hard
shapely bricks that did not crack OIL
deform in baking. Analysis proved
the effect due to tannin dissolved II
water. Further experiments showed
that from one-half to l per cent o.
the tannin Of commerce added to tn,
resistance of the brick. The process

Many interesting essays have been
written upon the vanity of women.
The beauty doctors" in New York
could write equally interesting essays
on the vanity Of man, as a large part
of their practice comes from men who
ask to have their noses Strengthened or
their ears made to set more closely to
the head, or to have wrinkles removed
from their foreheads or about their
eyes, or even to have dlmples made IN
their cheeks. A patient must pay $50
for dimple, $3.50 for a new nose of
celluloid. A paraffin nose costs only
500, but II its wearer becomes over
heated the nose will melt and get out
of shape. But no woman who has seer
her husband dress for party needs
such evidence of male vanity as the
beauty doctors can furnish.

Although Professor Wiley has not
yet made public his report Of the ex-
periments which the Department of
Agriculture conducted upon the volun-
teers who lived for time upon pre-
served meats, he has given out some
interesting facts. One is that meat
prepared with boric acid reduces per-
manently the weight of those who eat
1t regularly, and also lessons the
amount of nitrogen In the body. Here
is something for the fat mems clubs
to consider.

Casual moralists take different views
of the moral turpitude Of debt. They
call debtor anything between thiaf
and a careless fellow. The former ver-
dict is, of course, too harsh, though we
have often heard its justice seriously
maintained, and 1t is certainly more
easily refuted by illustration than by
argument. On the other hand, to ex-
cuse debt as mere thoughtlessness, as
many upright people do excuse IT, Is
clearly absurd. The reason Of this d.
vergence of judgment is. we think,
this: Debt is moral disorder. II not

PAlNE'S CELERY

Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.

It is we'll known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of
the other diseases that afflict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people OF the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Minn., after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al.
most prayed for the time to lay it down.

Mr.. Bellinger in Anderson.

Deputy Grand Master Jno. R. Bellingel
went to Anderson last week to have
charge of the exercises of the laying OF
the corner stone of Grace Episcopal
church, and in the Anderson correspon'
dence of last Saturdays State we find the
following in reference to his visit:
"The cornerstone of the new Grace
Episcopal church was laid with Masonic
ceremonies yesterday afternoon. Hon
J. r. Bellinger, deputy grand master OF
the State, presided in a very able and
graceful manner, and the usual cere'
monies incident to cornerstone laying
were carried out. Appropriate music was
furnished by choir composed of some
of the best singers of the city.
After the ritualistic ceremonies had
been gone through with, Mr.. Beilingel
delivered very interesting address, tell
ing of the origin of layingthe cornerstone
of public buildings, and the significance
of the custom and dwelling at some length
on the creed and custom of Masonry. His
address was much enjoyed. Mr.. Belling'
er is regarded as one of the foremost
Masons in the State, and his address yes
terday afternoon fully sustained the re-
putation that had preceded him."

The HartZOg Road.

The route of the proposed new road
from Bamberg to Hunters Chapel was
surveyed last week by Mr.. L. N. Belling-
er, and by this route the distance will be
shortened about three miles. He took
the distance of the old road, which is
about twelve miles, and the route over
which it is proposed to build the new
highway is only nine miles. The map
made by Mr.. Bellinger shows the crook
edness of the old road, as well as showing
that the survey was on an absolutely
straight line However, there are several
bays on the new route, and they will be
hard to build a road through. These may
be left out, and the road slightly curved
SO as to miss them. The people in that
section are very much in earnest over the
building of this road, and it is likely to
60 through with the help they will give

The opening this year is one of the very

more than on any opening day since we
have been here, and already the boarding
halls are taxed to their utmost capacity.
However, there will be no crowding In
at either hall, for Head Master Sheridan
has made arrangements with private
families near the school to take both boys
and girls as boarders, they being subject
to the same regulations there as in the
halls. Numbers of the old students have
returned, and the many new faces in the
student body are especially gratifying to

likely be the largest since the school was
established, in the boarding departments
at least.
