Funny Advertisement.

The editor OF the Press and Banner being
on the lookout for a bargain in 1.-THE New In
%ternational Encyclopaedia" published by
Dodd, Mead d Company sometimes runs his
eyes over the "For Sale" columns OF the van
ads in our daily newspapers. Last Sundays
News and Courier didn't nav exactly what
he wanted, but 1t did have this funny ad:
"For clopaedia Britannica,
Twenty.one Volumes, with Guide. full sheep
binding, never been used, or would trade Tor
q good shot gun. w. /. Darlington, box N0,
Georgetown, {. C."
The idea of anybody giving a good shot gun
for q copy OF The Britannica Is enough 10 make
q horse. laugh.

superintendent Simpson Of the Southern
was in town for q few hour Monday. seeing
our citizens and talking most agreeably about
sidetrackL and other things. It is his inten.
ton to put in additional sidetracks on the
station yard before Christmsu, one Of which
will be on a ~trestle. so that cars OF coal may
be dropped down. thus saving much time and
trouble to those who haul or deliver the coal
to customers.

eismarck's Hatred Of French.

When replying the other day TO the
new French ambassadors crcdentiai
address, the kaiser spoke in German,
while NJ. Cambon had also used his
native tongue. Formerly French was
the exclusive language of diplomacy,
as Latin had been before It. but Bis
marck rebelled against this tyranny OF
the French tongue. and once he related
with great gusto how he had brought
Nj. Theirs TO his senses during the
peace negotiations by suddenly adj
dressing him in German. After the
war Bismarck laid il down as n rule
that Il communication from any men,
Der of the diplomatic corps other than
the French ambassador. If couched in
French, should be replied to In the
same language. but that otherwise any
communication in the native language
of the writer should be answered In
German. The emperor applies the same
rule, rs far rs possible. in his inter-
course with the am oassadors

A Net For Insects.


A SPIDERS web is nothing more or
less than net set to catch the flies
and the locusts and the grasshoppers
as the fisherman by the use of another
kind OF net is able to bring his food
TO land. These spiders nests are con-
structed In the air. An insect starts
10 ny or jump. The wing or leg of this
insect touches one OF the threads of
the web, which has an adhesive Quail
lily. Immediately that wing or leg. by
being Jerked or pulled. brings Other
threads of the web into touch with
other parts OF the body. Similarly n
human being sinks deeper and deeper
into the quicksands with every frantic
struggle to escape. The more the In
sect tries to get away the more help
less he becomes. Then the spider
which has hitherto been concealed.
hurries forth and deftly reaches ont
with one of her silken threads. She
winds the insect round and round until
he cannot move If he would. Then
when the insect is utterly helpless she
gives her victim fatal poisonous bite
and Stays 1t as quickly as the fang of
N"h tAlC
rabbit. Thus God places the protect
Ing spider web over the crops and the
trees. Thus God expects man to place
his protecting webs over the home
and the church and the schoolhouse
and society at large. There are great
multitudes OF satanic destroyers ready
to pounce upon them. God says: "AIan.
you must guard these treasure houses
or virtue and purity and truth. You
must guard them. You must not only
bow the knee and worship me, but You
must also fight my satanic foes as
well. BY the myriads of protecting
spider webs would teach you this les
SON."
But L was very much surprised az
began to study this subject to learn
that the spider was susceptible to the
influence of love. For years and years
1 had known that the spider was a
cannibai. Just the same as the savage
tribes OF the African Kongo would go
forth and battle against the neighbor-
ing tribes and then come home with
rejoicing and Kill and eat their prison
