said a wine grower. "In Switzer-

grape cure. Thousands of anaemic
and nervous persons are benefited
by this cure. Eating a huge bunch

long, their cheeks soon bloom, they
soon recover their health again.

TATE WON'T RUN.

1t is now said that Hon. Garter Tate
will not be candidate for judge of the
Blue Ridge circuit. 1t is understood
that he has told his friends that he has
fully made up his mind on the question.
This again leaves the field clear for
Hon, Newton A. Morris, whose an.
nouncement was made public month
or more ago.
Are we going to have only ore candi-
date for judge in the Blue Ridge circuit
next year? 1t begins to LOCK that way
Numbers of lawyers have been men
toned in connection with the race, bet
they have not announced. What is the
matter with them Has Newt. Nor
ris bluffed "the whole dang gang?"
The truth is, Newt. Morris has mad
q better impression on the better class
of citizens than he made in his other
race. He has sworn by all that is good
and holy that he will not spend one
penny, nor allow his friends to do SO, to
corrupt voter, Sticking to this reso-
luton, he will deserve the thanks of
the people, whether his pole knocks the
perslmmon or not; and, in our opinion,
the candidate who comes nearest to
living up to Nevis platform will get
the majority of votes cast in the next
election in the Blue Ridge circuit. The
best people are not going to allow the
use of dirty methods in politics with
out using their ballots to defeat the
candidate who is guilty.-Alpharetta

A Bride Which Failed.

The incorruptibility of English
judges is practically beyond dispute,
yet some of the countrymen of the
judges do not realize it. Judge
Morris tells of a case in which an
Irish baronet, who held strong no
tons as to the divine rights of land
lords, refused to pay for the dam
ages done by his deer to the turnip
crop of a farmer into whose fields
they had broken. The baronet's
point was that the deer were wild
and that therefore he could not be
held responsible for them. The
court, needless to say, made short
work of his plea. But before the
case came on he must needs have
one of the deer shot by keeper
and a haunch sent to the judge who
was to try the issue. OF course the
gift was returned with a scathing
denunciation. "My dear fellow"
said Chief Justice Mcmahon when
the righteous judge told him of the
affair, ''you should have taken the
scoundrel's haunch, eaten it and
sent him to jail for contempt of
court !-London Standard.

A Sailor No LonnAr.

Painting is almost a continuous

liners. Con a certain ship one
day" said a traveller, 81 put my
hand on freshly painted ventila-
tor, and while removing the white
smear | fell into conversation with
the seaman who was responsible for
the trouble. He was an elderly
chap, and he had visited many out
landish places. AS he piled the
brush we had an interesting chat.
How long have you been a sailor ?

Not lnfaIlibIe.

Harriet Martineau, the English
author, was shrewd and practical
and had what men are pleased to
call masculine intellect" But she
was not always correct in her de-
auctions, a fact illustrated by the
following anecdote, told in her
Memoirs" by Sir Charles Murray,
who was then the English consul
general in Egypt:
One afternoon we met at the
villa of my old friend, S. W. Lark
ing, on the banks of the Mahamou-
dieh canal. In the course of our
stroll through the garden we came
to a small gate, the pattern of
which was new to Miss Martineau,
who was walking in front.
She stopped and, looking at the
gate in an attitude of intense ad-
miration, exclaimed:
GLOW truly oriental What won
derful taste these fasteners have
in design"
She went on, and as Larking and
l followed through the gate he
whispered to me, Il got it out last
week from Birmingham"

MARRIAGE LOTTERIES.
Business Schemes In Which Husbands
Were the Premiums,


Some years ago a tailor of Brus-
sells took into his employ young
man on the stipulation that he
should be allowed to dispose of him
i'll marriage.
When the agreement was signed
the tailor widely advertised the fact
that he had in stock a husband to
bestow upon the widow or maiden
who should bring him the most Gus
tom during the year.
Keen competition resulted. At
the end of the year it was found
that the prize had been won by a
widow of sixty years. Quite giee-
fully she took her husband home
and introduced him to her eight
sons. 1t is said that she was so
well pleased with her bargain that
she induced a large number of rela-
tives to give their patronage to the
tailor permanently.
This idea of the tailor seemed
good to number of other business
men of the continent, and for a
time there was quite an eruption of
advertisements and posters an
nouncing husbands to be disposed
of.
Every New Years day a large
Viennese firm of bootmakers was
wont to offer a husband to the lady
whose foot was considered to be the
smallest and most shapely of the
year, guaranteeing at the same time
to set the couple up in business
should such help be needed.
For over twenty years was this
practice continued, until the head
of the firm, an old widower, fell in
love with and himself married the
Cinderella footed lady, who, being
of an ultra jealous disposition,
sternly vetoed the customs contin-
uance.
Only recently Berlin tradesman
issued circular promising to be-
stow a husband, in the person of
his son, upon the spinster who shall
within a years space collect the
most coupons, one of which is given
with each purchase to the value of 5
marks. To the prize husband as a
wedding gift he has promised to be-
stow a share in his business.
Some years ago a Leeds firm cir
culated among its customers attrac-
tive tokens, whereon was depicted a
stylishly dressed man surrounded
by the legend, "a Husband For a
Guinea" signifying that such as
expended that amount on the firms
goods were allowed one chance in a
rattle for an eligible young man,
the junior partner in the house
London Tit-Bits.

Show a Bad Exannla.

A grocer who was noted for his
carefulness had an advertisement
inserted in a local newspaper for a
message boy, and a young fellow
who understood the kind Of gen.
tleman who was advertising came to
apply for the situation, and while
the grocer was telling him how care
full he must be fly settled on a bag
of sugar, and the grocer caught it
and threw it away. The boy then
said:
"If you want me to be careful
you are showing me a bad exam
pie"
"Why?" replied the former.
Because" said the boy, "you
have thrown that fly away without
brushing the sugar of it's feet."-

REPRooFS in BUSINESS.
Something That Calls Fer the Exercise
of Much Tact.

IF there's one thing" said the
business man reiectivcly, "that calls
fer the exercise of infinite tact it is
the giving of reproofs. There are of
course some occasions when the
manner of rebuking doesn't have to
be taken into consideration-occa-
sions when the reprimand should
be as decisive and sharp as you can
make it. But there are other times
plenty of them-when quick
word is the worst possible medicine
to administer. An employer or a
superintendent owes it to his posi-
ton, to say nothing of what he owes
to the men under him, to take into
consideration the kind of man to
whom he is talking. Personally l
don't believe in coddling, but |
know that gradations in reproofs
give weight to those want to make
emphatic.
Every one makes mistakes at
one time or another, and | think it's
only fair to be charitable to the en-
ployee who errs through zeal or as
the result of ignorance. If a man
is trying to do his best you know it
or you ought to, and such a man in
evitably loses his interest in his
work when he is subjected to any
thing that looks to him like injus-
tice.
"Some people-and this classical
ton includes one or two by whom
I've been employed myself-don't
seem to realize that feelings aren't
entirely eliminated in business deal
ings. They are hard taskmasters;
their method of riding is roughshod.
They'd get more help on the way if
they used different tactics.
'IPs the spirit of cooperation
that I'm trying to hold up as an
ideal. The moment the head of an
establishment gets his associates to
sense the fact that they are all pull
ing together for a common end he
has gone long way toward assur-
ing success. That needn't detract
from his position as director, ruler
whatever you want to call tin
the least. It's simply insistence on
team play, and it is by team play
that our industrial and commercial
games are won" Exchange.

PARTISAN DUELS.
There Are Three kinds-Trieks t.
Gain Time While Fighting.

Duels are common enough in
France nowadays, but they are rob
bed of their picturesque side, says
tie Household Brigade Magazine.
They may be divided into three
categories, which l place in the or
der of their frequency of occur
rence-journalists' duels, duels that
are the outcome of a tongue too
well hung or fabricated by an over
dose of alcohol, and, thirdly, those
where the opponents are out to kill
if they can. The above order also
represents the degree of publicity
accompanying each.
Of those due to an i'll considered
or i'll bred remark comparatively
few come to an interchange of shots
or thrusts, but fzzle out after an
interchange of cards. Morning
brings a more reasonable frame of
mind, and things are quoted down
by those unfortunate individuals
who have been selected as seconds.
When such encounters do take place
at least one of the principals is only
too DESTROYS for privacy to be main
tanned, the safest possible condi-
tons are arranged, and one only
hears about the affair after it is all
over.
The materials for disagreement
are usually a night restaurant and
the one extra bottle which might
have been dispensed with. Only
recently a respectable married man
found himself confronted in COM
bat by an unknown Argentine with
whom he had apparently had dis
agreement the night before at a
well known second rate cosmopol-
itan cafe much frequented between
about 2 a. m. and breakfast time.
Neither of the gentlemen knew
quite what it was all about, but
their seconds said it was all right,
SO they had to 60 through with it,
and no harm was done. The third
type of duel is serious and very
rare. 1t usually takes the form of
a row about a lady.
There are a good many tricks to
gain time in dueling. Dropping the
sword is one, resting the point on
the ground or making a wide parry
SO as to scrape the ground is anoth-
er. In either of these cases the
point has to be sandpapered and
treated with an antiseptic or held
in a flame, so that there may be no
risk of wound being poisoned.
With pistols the conditions are
arranged according to the serious
ness of the quarrel. AS rule, duel
ing pistols at twenty-five PAGES are
used. The dueling pistol is muzzle
loaded and rifed. Its pull off is
regulated by the circumstances F.;
also the powder charge. Seconds
often arrange to put in only sufi-
Gent powder to drive the bullet out
Of the bore. Sometimes they drop
the bullet into the left hand when
loading and hammer an imaginary
one down the barrel.

The Effect of Wind on Lakes.

Attention has been called to the
very remarkable effect of the wind
on various inland bodies of water.
1t is not unusual for the residents
IN towns on the shores of lakes to
be greatly inconvenience, provided
a heavy wind blowing on shore con-
tinues for any length of time. In
the Baltic sea the level has been
altered for upward of eight feet.
Sometimes the water is blown out
Of channel, leaving it almost dry.
In one instance a depression of six
feet occurred on one side Of a body
of water, with corresponding rise
of SIX feet on the other. Lake Erie
has been known to alter its level a
distance of fifteen feet Oh account
of heavy winds, and Lake Michigan
was at one time the subject of con-
siderable interest from the same
cause. The wind was heavy and
continuous and piled the water up
on one side, while the other was SO
low that people walked out upon
rocks where in the memory of man
no feet had ever trodden.

Be Not Afraid,

He has not learned the lesson of
his life who does not every day sur
mount fear. If you have no faith
in beneficent power above you,
but see only an adamantine fate
eoiling its folds about nature and
man, then reflect that the best use
Of fate is to teach US courage. If
you have no confidence in any for
eign mind, then be brave because
there is always one good opinion
which must always be Of Importance
to you-namely, your own.-Ralph
Waldo Emerson.
