In President Roosevelts timer
airy through the south he has prob
ably made no more pleasing i'm
preston anywhere than upon the
town of Charlotte, N. G.
Although his stop with us was
all too brief (only As minutes), our
people gave him grand and en-
thusiastic welcome and ovation,
and certainly he captivated those
who were fortunate enough to meet
him by his own exceedingly cordial
and gracious manner.
l had been honored in being
placed at the head of a delegation
of ladies to receive Mrs. Roosevelt,
and when | was presented to his
eXcellency l was both surprised and
overwhelmed at the warmth and
exuberance of his greeting. He ex-
pressed so much admiration for
my husband, and so much Joy at
meeting his WITHHOLDING my hand
so tenderly and yet reverently that
my whole heart was deeply touched,
and when he spoke OF his pleasure
in appointing my grandson to a
cadetship at West Point, and COM
plimented him as "a splendid young
fellow" he struck the tenderest
chords of very grateful heart.
Yes, l am sure the president is
all right-a large-hearted, good and
great man. His noble tributes to
Generals Lee and Jackson proved
that he is of the true metal.
The presidents wife made as IA
vorable an impression upon the
ladies as any first lady of the land
could, being cultured and gracious,
womanly and responsive to all the
eager attention showered upon her.
1t was lovely to see how the ladies

and how kindly and sweetly she re-
ceived them.
My faithful old cook was perhaps
the most elated person in the par
Tor of my simple little home as she
handed the first lady of the land
glass OF water, and she told me
afterward that eve was the bon
tonest-follSs in town, as nobody else
had the presidents wife in their
houses"
1t made all Charlotte happy to
have this brief and inspiring visit
from the president and his charm
ing wife, and especially was the
town delighted when he affirmed
his belief in the genuineness of
the Mecklenburg declaration of in
dependence. Our people think now,
with such distinguished and I'M

one can ever doubt that Mecklen-

May his eXcellency long live to
be blessing and a power for good
to this grand country of ours.

Creatures That Seem Never te Dis
 From Old Age.

Creatures That Seem Never te Die
 From old Age.
 Wandering unconcernedly in the field of view of any high power microscope there may be seen an animal which has probably been living continuously ever since life first appeared on the earth and which has certainly never lost an ancestor by death. The creature is transparent and resembles drop of slightly more viscid fluid in the thin film of water in which it is confined. Amoeba is the name by which 1t is known to science. Splash drop of ink on paper, and you will have an idea of it's form at any one moment, but it's form Is never the same. Even as you watch 1t it's shape, which had resemblance to Ireland as it appears on the map. changes. The headlands at the southwest corner are becoming more and more prominent till now they are like the fingers of an outstretched hand of which the palm is rapidly shrinking The whole creature Is flow ing rather than creeping toward small chain of bacteria, which present ly it devours. There is no mouth through which they pass. They are simply engulfed as small drops of wa ter may be merged into larger. In an hour or two they will have been digested-burned of as fuel to supply the activities of their destroyer.
 Occasionally amid it's ceaseless to be developing a waist" which grows smaller and narrower until 1t snaps. and instead of one large animal we have two small ones, which, with out even a momentary pause. continue the search for food till. in few hours, each is full sized and ready to divide again.
 But what has become of the original amoeba? Tn the absence of anything which could be called his corpse we cannot declare him dead It must be said that he is still living as the two new amoebae. Now. this splitting into two being the only mode of reproduc- ton of the race, 1t follows that all the previous parent amoebae from which our present two are descended are still living. Of course thousands of the animalculae are destroyed every day by natural foes, but it must be re- membered that these unfortunates cannot by the nature of things leave any children and so will never be an- cestors. and that so long as any one amoeba is living none of his direct an- cestry is dead.
 The conclusion has forced itself up- on biologists that death is no part of the life scheme of these humble crea- lures. They are not like us-machines. preordained to run down in a more or less certain period of years-but they live on indefinitely till some chance ac- cident cuts short their career. Youth, or, rather. immaturity. they experience from time to time, but old age never.- Grand Magazine.

CARE OF BOOKS.

Dust Creates Trouble for Them and
 They Should Be Kept Clean.
 You can distinguish your true book lover from the man who simply likes books at the first glance by the way he handles them. The man who likes them will break the back of the finest edition when he turns the first page by bending the book double, perhaps folding the covers back upon each oth- CT. while your book lover will ease" the book. open, yet accomplish his task in about the same as the other without injuring his book, says the Philadel- phia Inquier.
 Books aren't at all perishable bits of property if you treat them properly. Keep them under glass-dust breeds sorts of little destructive creatures. and an open bookcase shortens the life of your books by half.
 When you seclean take out every book and wipe out the case going over every inch of it thoroughly, with warm water in which generous dash of tur- pentine has been put.
 Dust your books-first librarians way. then with a dust cloth. ''I.ibrari- ans way means striking two books to- gether at an open window so that the dust flies out. But do 1t gently, So as not to loosen the backs.
 Your pet books, of course. are too precious to be so carefully taken care of-which is paradox. But you want them whether you can put your hand on them-can refer to this passage or that without the bother of unlocking doors. Little single shelves that hold perhaps dozen books are to be had in any finish" wood or in the plain unfinished wood. ready to he carved or decorated with pyrography.
 Magazine racks have been improve,l this year by the addition of metal braces lsome are made entirely of met all which makes it possible to use them for books without the danger of the weight breaking of the little uprights.
 Not to leave a book outdoors over night: not to lay it down upon Oper leaves. not to lay it careles~ly where it can slip and break the corners-these would seem unnecessary cautions were it not that every dsy you see q fragrant transgres<ion of these rules which are after all. the simplest dictates of com. mon sense.

How to Make One In . Brook or Run
 ming Stream.
 The brook or running stream of natural outdoor water gives a variety of chances for the man who wishes to live his life aright. The brook can be converted. without being diverted, into a swimming pool for boys by building dam at the point where the banks do little extra shelving and tend to form a natural basin The bot tom should be spaded out and made more of reservoir in its capacity and shape. The dam itself can be made by a family of boys at the cost of the lumber and nails involved. The en- bankments are sodded. The sides of the spillway are made of wooden posts driven into the ground and boarded up. This makes a box up affair or rather two boxes one on each side of the stream. These boxes are filled with sand, rocks and sods to make a solid cubic piece of resistance. The sodded entertainments run across the valley or depression of the brook hol- low to the higher ground. By means of lever-a pole playing into a wooden jawed socket and weighted with . rock or pieces of iron )-the water gate can be opened against a strong hesdway of water. The water flows over the top of the spillway when 1t is closed. and by raising the gate the pond can be emptied or re duced to the normal level of the brook Country Life Tn America.

PERSIAN DISHONESTY.
It Permeates Every Glass of Society
 From Highest to Lowest.

It Permeates Every Glass of Society
 From Highest to Lowest.
 Veracity is a scarce article in Persia, according to the Rev. Napier Malcolm. In his Five Years In the Persian Town he writes of conditions in Yezd as follows: Tn the Yezd bazaars prob ably not less than one-third of the speeches made by Mussulmans are falsehoods. One day cook of a Euro pean went to the bazaar and after the usual haggling fixed the price of some meat at 12 krans for thirteen pounds. But said the cook, you've got your thumb on the scales Did you think retorted the butcher, that I would give you meat at thirteen pounds for 12 krans unless I kept my thumb on the scales? We had a nei9hbor who was considered fairly respecta bie man whose sole business was the forg ing of seals.
 But the fact is that every class, from the highest to the lowest is thoroughly permeated by the leaven of dishonesty. A Mohammedan assured me that truth speaking and honesty had nothing to do with religion. but were purely a matter of climate. Tn that case, said I, the people of Persia ought to speak the truth very well. for one of the Greek historians who lived before the Mohammedan era declared that the Perslans were famous for speaking the truth But who does not know replied the Mohammedan, that the climate of country changes entirely every 1000 yearsT"
