Bureaus.

1t is interesting to learn from
one authority that the name bureau
was derived from the days when ia
bles were the only writing desks.
These tables were covered with q
thick woolen cloth called "bure,"
and from this beginning the name
has clung to the modern glorifed
piece of furniture. It was not until
the reign of Louis XIV. that either
writing tables or dressing tables
reached their height in beauty Of
design and comfort. Strictly speak
ing, bureau is a desk, or what we
call a secretary, from which the
term bureau, or department, is de-
rived in a broader sense. The srti-
Gle of bedroom furniture commonly
called a bureau nowadays is really
an improved dressing table combin-

There are 80 many grades of hu-

institution or plaa could be expect

in the world, to prove that the Far

that it lis opposed by some indiv idu-
ais, that it is doing things. Of
course this don't suit some folks be-
cause they arc opposed to doing any,
thing. Especially something that
they happen to not originate or that
does not give to them some advan-
tage of their fellow man. All the

Good News from all Sides.

From every Southern State, comes
the good news that campaign, in
the iateres. of the Farmers Union,
has been arranged for July and
August from South Carolina west,
and South Carolina is now arrang-
ing for thorough campaign of the
Palmetto State.
The time IS ripe and the farmers
are more ready to organize than ever
before known. Just one good man
in each county of the South for one
month organizing the farmers now,
will prepare the way to save millions
for the fa,mer in marketing the
South's next cotton crop 1t is
not enough to organize farmers for
their own protection and 20 back
home thinking that the thing will
work itself; it will not do it! Ev-
cry county Union in the Sou'h,
should see to it that at least one
county newspaper in each county
carry column of direct news from
organized farmers. Iusteld of this
farmers column working injury to
the regular Farmers Union papers,
it increases the demand for such pa
pers. The country or county news
papers are good mediums for educat-
ing the farmer along the business
side of his farming, aud in order to
keep up with the progress of the or
ganized movements of the farmers,
every farmer should take at least
one good paper that will give him
the news direct, as to how things are
going. But in case satisfactory ar
rsngements cannot be made with the
established press to carry these far
mers' columns in your home papers,
letter addressed to this Bureau
setting forth the facts in the case,
every local Union will be supplied
with sample copies of the best and
cheapest papers in the land of the
South, which will enable each Uni
nion to make its own selection at
large club rates.
In order to keep in touch with
the latest prlc.s, plans, and methods
of combining your strength for the
good OF all, the farmer must read
the news from reliable sources which
will save money enough on one bale
of cotton to pay for five or six good
newspapers.

CURIOSITY HUNTING.
Some Instances Of Finds Of Much Value
In Unexpected Places.

In Unexpected Places.
Some years ago in Yorkshire q
man went to a farm for q days
shooting with the farmer. In tho
morning as they were about to start
a pointer dog was unkenneled to
company them. The sporting
friend noticed that attached to the
dogs collar was apparently a brass
ring, which the farmer explained
his servant had plowed up the day
before and tied to the collar. When
the ring was removed the friend
pronounced it to be gold, and he
offered to take it into town and get
it valued. The farmer assented,
but he said he would rather have
some silver spoons than money.
These the jeweler readily agreed to
give, and he afterward sold the ring
for ego. The next time the ring
changed hands it brought ESQ, and
it is now in the British museum.
1t may be said that this is quite
an exceptional case, says a writer in
Chambers Journal on curiosity
hunting, and a man might live q
hundred years and never get such a
chance. But how many people ever
make the attempt?
1t is certainly easier to frequent
curiosity shops in town, but you
must know something about every
thing worth buying. l remember
once being in a well known jewel
er's shop, and while l was looking
at some old rings and trinkets my
eye caught sight of ring which had
in it a stone with lion cut on it
and above the lion a single star. ]
knew it as a Roman gem, and it
was the constellation Leo. When l
asked the price the dealer hesitated,
and, looking hard at me, he asked
me if it was Roman gem. 1 re-
piled that was what l wanted to
know from him. He tried all ways
to get me to confess l knew about
such things, and when l presently
put down the ring and was going
out he told me he wanted 80 shl-
lings for it as it was, but if it was
Roman gem he wanted more. l
took advantage of his offer and
bought the ring.
1t is always advisable to turn
over the loose stones you sometimes
see exposed in the window Of small
jewelers. shop, generally lying in a
saucer. 1 got in that way head
which was appearing out Of bath.
The stone was a yellow carnelian,
but. just where the neck was there
was an accidental streak of brilliant
red in the stone representing blood
very faithfully. 1t proved to be q
Roman gem and is now, / believe,
in the Ashmolean museum. Antique
gems are not commonly met with
even abroad, and this way of picking
them up in England is worth try
ing when you are hunting up curl
osities.

The KNOWLEDGE THAT COUNTS.
The Lessons We Learn In Hard Work
Make US Succeed.

Mr. K Reynolds, President and
Founder of the largest manufac tur-
ing plant East of the Mlssissippl,be-
longs to that class of men whose sue
cess in life has been due to their own
energy and industry, though the
circumstances of Mr. Reynolds boy
hood afforded him sound basis up
on which to build. He was endow-
ed by nature with health and streng.
tn, full of energy and ambitious,
while yet tender age, to lead in
whatever he undertook. His faith
er, large planter and a manufact.
urer in Patrick county, Virginia,
made his yearly contracts with his
laborers on the condition thst they
would keep up with young "Dlck.
Even as boy, Mr. Reynolds was
never contented unless in some way
employed. He found pleasure in
tasks that others found 10 tedious
be burdensome.
Mr. Reynolds while in bis teens,
planted, cultivated, cured manu-
factured and worked In every de-
psrtment of the manufacture, and
had successfully held the position of
manager of a factory. In the year
1875, hardly more than a boy, he
was manufacturing tobacco under
the name of R J Reynolds & Co.,
in a very small factory at Winston,
NC.
The methods and processes of
manufacturing tobacco in those days
were very crude. Other men were
content with the machinery, process
es and methods in use.
Mr. Reynolds, and the men associ-
ated with him, worked out by expert
ment, the reason for the prevailing
methods, and by the help of the
skillful men IN charge of the various
departments of the manufacturing
plant, they invented, perfected and
adopted improved machinery and
processes, until today the fiat plug
tobacco industry has been complete
ly revolutionized, and the R J Rey-
nolds Tobacco Company is known
as the largest, best equipped aud
cleanest plug tobacco manufactur-
ing plant in the world. They now
own, for which patent has been
applied, the great discovery of a
process for the manufacture of
their new brand refined granulated
smoking tobacco. After many
years of study and experiment they
found out how to produce the most
delightful and harmless tobacco for
pipe and cigarette smokers. 1t is
proving great favorite with smok-
ers.

Wooden Water Mains,

Somewhat like returning to first prin-
,iples and methods which had apparent
ly been outgrown and discarded seems
the import of an article by Andrew
Swickard which recently appeared in the
California Journal of Technology, regard
ing the use of wooden pipes for convey
ing water. He says that the use of wood
en- pipes has been greatly extended in
recent years, number of long lines hav-
ing been built in the East, where it has
found favor with the engineers, and that
in America it is in use from Alaska to
Peru. Its employment is, of course, sub
ject to some limitations, especially where
it is necessary to Withstand very high
pressure. The pipe now used is not made
like that Of long ago. from bored logs,

slaves fastened together with petal clips
In favor of wood it is urged nat the in
terror of the pipe does not deteriorate as
where iron is used, and that it is from 80
to so per cent cheaper than riyeted steel.

The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as q
Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Zurich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills mako
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.
