6eggar Woman Like Many Other
Members of Society.
julius Chambers tells in the Reader
how in 1887, while he was editing
paper in Paris, he conceived the idea
OF putting on his editorial staff an
oid Deggar woman who had two wood
en- legs and who was a well-known
sight on the boulevard. So he paid
her regular salary and had brilliant
interviews written with leading men
aid women of Paris which he pub.
lshed over the signature "The Little
Old Woman on Two Sticks" He says:
1t soon became a matter of pride
among English and Americans tc
know the wretched creature who had
become so famous. Money was show.
cred upon her by American and Eng
hsh visitors who had not fathomed
the humor of the situation and verita-
bly, accepted the inference that the
DeSgar was on speaking acquaintance
with all the notables of Paris. The
episode finally developed into a farce
because the old womans vanity was
reused by the attention notoriety
brought her. She could not read Eng
hsh, knew nothing about the contents
OF the articles and actually flattered
herself into the belief that she pos
sessed physical attraction for the
senerous-hearted men who gave her
aims or patted her tenderly on the
shoulder. Like many another useful
member of society, she was spoiled by
success and one day struck for higher
wages"

The wild ostrich.

There are just four regions in which
the wild African ostrich is now found.
He lives in considerable numbers In
Arabia where he has been little hunt.
ed In Africa his most northern hab.
itat is the Soudan and the southern
part of the Sahara from the Red Sea
almost to the Atlantic ocean. He
does not live in the excessively moist
regions of Central Africa. but in the
drier countries between the Indian
ocean and the Nile he is found in cen
siderable numbers. His fourth home
in Africa is in the great dry districts
of German West Africa. from the At
lantic ocean more than half way
across the continent He was long
ago driven out Of the thirst lands Of
Cape Colony, for hunters became too
numerous for him. - The fact that wild
ostriches are always killed to obtain
their plumage has unfortunately
caused great diminution among
them. and the prospect is that in time
they will be entirely replaced by the
domesticated ostrich now living on
the ostrich farms OF Cape Colony far
south of any of the regions where the
wild bird is found,

North Carolina has made great step
IN advance by putting large body Of
her convicts to work building turnpike
roads. A fine highway. fifty miles in
extent, across the Blue Ridge Noun
tains, from Wilkesboro to Jefferson. in
Ashe County, is being laid. or rather
cut through the hills, by this class of
labor.
The purpose of this is to open up to
trade with the rest of the State the
wealthy northwestern section. This is
great cattle growing country, and
the people who reside there have here
tofore been doing business with the
Virginians. The mountains formed
q barrier which was practically insur.
mountable for trade purposes.
= All communities are more and more
coming to realize the necessity of hav-
ing highways for trade if they would
have trade. Poor highways mean. iso-
lation. insularity and provincialism.
Ideas, as well as material benefits, fol-
loW the line of the least resistance.
They falter. halt and stop at physical
barriers. The topography of coun-
try determines largely the character of
its Inhabitants. Lack Of communica-
ton with neighboring communities pre-
vents expansion. The chariot Of pros
perity will not run over ruts when it
can find smooth roadbed. Mental,
social and material development alike
depend upon the character of the ply
steal environment. A community
which shuts itself in shell, as does an
oyster. never gets beyond the sheilfish
stage in anything.
The good roads idea is spreading
throughout the country. Georgia has
demonstrated that she is wide awake
to it. She has made good beginning.
There should be no stop until the high
ways are above criticism.-Atlanta

AN rot OF CLAY.

What did she give for her wedding ring?
All that woman may!
What did he gifts to the giver bring2
Only an idol OF clay
All the sweet dreams OF her girlhood years,
All that a heart could hold
All OF her hopes and all OF her fears,
All OF her amiies and all OF her tears.
For one little circle OF gold.
Told she the world OF her bitter cheat?
All, mol With a smiling face
She clothed her idol from head to feet
With the garments OF her grace.
And no one knew OF the D. ars she wept
Her griefs they were never guessed
For hid In her heart of hearts she kept
Her thorns of woe. And so she slept
With her hands across her brea t.

Fashion's Changes Have Little to Do
with Their Costumes.
Many MohamEedan women in India
wear petticoats. generally very wide
indeed, and falling in heavy folds.
Some wear an underpetticoat OF fine
,alico as protection to the costly
stuff of which the outer garment is
composed or to escape friction. The
stuff-satin, silk or cotton cloth is
gathered into a strong band of tape,
which is tied over one hip, and the
plaits or gathers are carefully made,
graceful folds. Over the choice or
bodice Is a light muslin shirt, which
continues below the waist, called a
koortun. Over all scarf of white or
:olored muslin of fine texture called
ioopatta, passed once around the
waist and thence across the bosom
and over the left shoulder and head,
ike the saree, completes the costume

TT HE season of catching cod is upon us.
Il The cough and the sneeze and nasal
twang are to be heard on every hand The
origin of chronic catarrh, the most COM
mon and dreadful of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gem
orally begins. A person catches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual The cold
generally starts in the head and throat
Then follows sensitiveness of the air pas
sages which incline one to catch cod very
easily. At last the person has a cold all
the while seemingly, more or less discharge
from the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up,
fun feeling in the head and sore, infamed
throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning A bottle of Peruna prop
erlY used never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured Of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Pc
runa, yet as a rule, when the catarrh be-
comes thoroughly fixed, more than one bot
tie is necessary to complete cure, Pc
runa has cured cases innumerable of ca
tarrh of twenty years standing. 1t is the
best, if not the only internal remedy for
chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cod
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at this
season of the year and thus prevent what

Bolance of Trade

The secretary of agriculture, Mr..
Wilson, says that the balance of trade
in our favor for the last five years
averages $685., 100000. By balance of
trade in our favor is meant that we
shipped out of the country, including
gold. silver and everything else, $685.
100000 more wealth than we received
in return. That is the amount thar
we have had to pay to foreign coun-
tries as interest on investments in
bonds and stocks owned by foreigners
and the amount that is sent across the
ocean as bowers to our Eeiresses who
have married dukes and lords and the
