In the sunset period of natural life he has been called to rest and to those whom his demise brings, deepest sorrow, the old age that was accorded him in which not only to fulfill the aims and hopes of an honorable ambition and tireless energy, but to enjoy their fruits, must speak in recon ciliation. To the loved ones we extend the sympathy of our peo- pie.

The color Of the skin in the various
races Of man has never yet been scien-
tifcally accounted for, although numer-
Gus NEUROLOGICAL stories have been told
and senseless theories advanced as rea-
sons for the remarkable variations In
hue. Nor have we any certain data
concerning the color Of the cuticle Of
the primeval men, the original lord
of creation" A pretty African legend
is that he was as black as the proven
,bial ace Of spades and that the present
pale color Of the Caucasian race Ia the
result Of the scare God gave Adam at
the time Of the fall.
1t is proper to state here that the
same legend says that the present
black race are descendants Of one Of
Adams sons that was born ana left
Eden before the great change in color
overlook our first parents. The Chi
nese believe that the original man was
a creature half god and half man and
that his color came about as a result
OF bathing in river Of liquid gold.
The Mussumans, the American In
dams and several oriental tribes and
nations account for their prevailing red
or copper color by telling the story
of the Great Being creating the first
pair from red kaolin, the common fire
clay Of the potter shops.

Rev. Mccormick reports very
delightful time at the Bi-county con-
vention of the churches of Christ held
in Lewis Monday and Tuesday. Three
were al delegates present and the
program was replete with good
missionary work. Aside from the
work of the convention the special
features were excellent music by the
Lewis and Cumberland choirs, both
of which are far above the average
for smaller towns such as these. AS
a mark of recognition and appreciation
Rev. Mccormick was reflect
ed president of the convention
and the convention will meet in our
our city next year. If the reports of
hospitality and Jealous, unseltish
service extended at Lewis be true, the
church here will have to be up and
doing or they will have to hide their
face in shame.

Best Selling Book In the World.

The Bible Is the best selling book IN
the world. 1t leads, and by a long in
terval, all other publications in copies
purchased in the ordinary channels of
trade without regard to what may be
called the official distribution.
Every bookstore which undertakes
to carry a full line of stock sells the
Bible. Several important corporations
confine themselves to the manufacture
and sale of Bibles, and others find in
the Bible their leading feature. OF no
other book can this be said. Speaking
some time ago of the Unsuitable de-
mand for the Bible as an article Of
merchandise, an officer Of the Metho-
dist Book Concern said: Like all pub
fishers, we have to keep watch Of the
sale of books in general, even the most
popular, so as not to get overstocked.
But this never occurs in printing the
Bible. We just keep the presses stead
lily at work, and II we happen to find
that we have 10000 or $4,000 copies
on hand it gives US no uneasiness. We
are sure to sell them, and we 60
straight ahead printing.

Asparagus, deservedly favorite veg
etable, was extensively cultivated by
the ancient Romans, but was not in
troduced into England before 1860.
In some parts of Europe the seeds are
used as substitute for coffee, and a
spirituous liquor is made from the ripe
berries. Asparagus is both lithic and
diuretic, and its roots used to be ex-
tensively used in medicine. In some
old recipe books directions are given
for boiling asparagus one hour, but
this is a great mistake-twenty or
thirty minutes Is long enough to cook
it sufficiently-but there was one sug-
gestion worth following. Instead Of
cutting off the white parts it advised
that they be broken. saying that If
they We're too tough to break they
We're unfit to eat.

The Dirtiest People In the v


With possible exceptions in the cases
of Tibet and Lapland we are compelled
to admit that the English working
classes are probably the dirtiest BIZ
peds in the world, alike in their clothes
and in their persons, and that they
display themselves in public and even
travel by public conveyances in condi.
tons which would not be tolerated in
any other civilized country.
Nothing like English working class
dirt is ever seen in public on the con.
tinent of Europe unless in its far east
ern portions, and dirt Is prejudicial to
health not only by its direct physical
operation, but, in a still greater de-
gree, by reason Of the absence Of self
respect which it entails and which re-
moves from the dirty man or woman
at least one safeguard against drunk
enness and against Observation-Disclosures
