Pacing the Value.

Edward Everett Hale was one OF
the guests at a New York million
aires dinner. The millionaire was
a free spender, but he wanted full
credit for every dollar he put out:
And as the dinner progressed ne told
his guests what the expensive dishes
had cost. ...This terrapin," he would
say, was shipped direct from Bal
timore. A Baltimore cook came on
to prepare it. The dish actually
cost dollar teaspoonful." So he
talked of the other courses, He
dwelt especially on the expense OF
the large and beautiful grapes. He
told, down to a penny, what he had
figured it out that the grapes had
cost him apiece. The guests looked
ANNOYED. They ate the expensive
grapes sparingly. But DR.. Hale,
smilingly, extended his plate and
said, "Would you mind cutting rmae ne
off about $1.s7 worth more, pleasep'

Relief in Sight.

AS will be noted elsewhere in
this issue the Atlantic Coast
Line has been ordered by the
Railroad Commission to extend
the service of its train, known
as the "Orangeburg train, from
Lane to Florence and return, so
as to make Southbound connec-
tions possible between Florence
and Lane. So far as. these
points are concerned, this will
relieve the situation to the sat
isfaction of every reasonable
person, since the schedule from
Charleston to Florence low in
force gives no cause for com.
plant, provided the famous
"Fish Special, No. So" can be
induced to arrive and depart on
time.
The action of the Railroad
Commlsslon in rderlng this SER
vice is very gratifying, as it re-
lieves a state of inconvenience
that has been existing for about
thirty years.
The people along this route
are slow to claim their rights,
but once having claimed, they
dare maintain them, and We be-
lieve that this service, or some
thing equi TALENT, will be made
permanent.
In representing Kingstree and
other points affected, Capt. Kel.
ley put up a vigorous fight in
favor of this additional service.
and it is without doubt due to
the strong showing he made be-
fore the Commission in Colum-
bia that the new service has
been ordered. :.

His Opportunity.

A Buffalo physician tells OF two
young friends in that city who en-
tered simultaneously upon their re-
spective careers of physician and
lawyer. Late one afternoon the
newly made medico dashed into the
room of his legal friend, e1claiming:
"Great luck, old man! Congratu-
late me! Got patient at last! On
my way to see him now" Where
upon the legal light to be slapped

grin: "Say, let me 60 with you!

The Chief Trouble.

e1t is a sad fact" said the stats
tician, "that the ordinary waste OF
food in an English middle class fam
ily would be sufficient to maintain
wholly a French family of similar

"True," said the epicure. "And
it is also a gratifying fact that the
average French family couldn't be
hired to eat it after it had been
cooked by the average English mid
die class family, SO that, after all
it is not wasted so far as France il
concerned: --Harper's Weekly. -"

Feat of a Greek Scholar.

1t may safely be said that no feat
of translation in any age has ever
equaled that achieved by Professor !
Jebb in rendering Browning's "Abt
vogler" into Greek verse. This fine
soliloquy of the musician is less OBJ
scure, no doubt, than many other OF
its authors productions, but j
:abounds in imagery and in turns OF
thought which even an Englishmaan,
fnds,it not very easy to follow and
of which he could hardly have con-
ceised it possible that any Greek
equivalents could exist. Yet they
did exist, for Jebb found them,
though it may be doubted whether
any other Greek scholar living
would have been equally successful
in his search.-London Telegraph.

Too Generous.

A lady travelling as a first class
passenger was much distressed by
the plight of her valuable young
collie, which at Preston station fell
between the footboard of the train
and the platform. She appealed to
a porter to save it, and the man
crawled underneath the carriage
and dragged the animal out, al,
though the dog bit his hand several
times. Having got her pet safely
in her compartment, the lady re-
Karded the man who had rescued it
from almost certain death with a
threepenny bit. - St. James Ga

Food 8of Thought

Itis the custom of q newspaper
man to boom The city for all 1t Is
worth month after month and then
see $50 worth of printing 20 out OF
the city because 10 cents can be
saved by SO doing. 1t is the busi-
ness OF newspaper men to give every
local enterprise Senthaaastic and
frequent sendoffs and then catch
sheol because he failed to record
the fact that some prominent citl-
zen has his delivery wagon painted;
to subscribe literally 70 every pub
lie, charitable and church enter
prise, advertise them for nothing,
pay his own way to everything and
then be called prejudiced and mean
spirited because "a column is not de-
voted to that particular affair. Do
you wonder that there are so manv
cranks in the newspaper business!

To apply the above to local
affairs, we might add that the
town of Kingstree, which of
course expects to be perenpially
doomed through. the columns of the
local press, has adopted the meth
cd of promulgating its ordinances
by posting them on trees, telegraph
poles, etc. An ordinary tree of

RlRos' WEAPONS.
fhsy Ar Not Confined - the Bsak
and the 9pufs.

Shsy Az Not CenAnsd 70 The Bsak
and the Spurs.
Many people are inclined to think
that a birds weapons are practical
ly confined to beak and the spurs
with which the legs of some birds
are provided. There are, however,
good many instances of different
armament. A moments reflection
recalls to any one the mulelike kick
delivered by the foot of the ostrich,
which requires no spurs to insure
effectiveness.
Besides this, many birds use their
wings very effectively as weapons.
People who have spent their child
hood in the country will recall how
fercely the domestic gander uses
his wings, and among domestic
fowls the cocks not only use their
wings to blind their adversaries, but
batter their opponents quite severe
ly with them. Although doves have
been selected as emblems of peace,
vet they are rather pugnacious and
when quarreling among themselves
bring their wings into play to good
advantage.
Birds using the wing to strike
blow usually attempt to land on
their adversaries with the wrist
Joint. This demand for a wing
weapon among birds has in some
species brought about remarkable
and formidable developments. The
spur winged geese Of Africa have
spur on the bend of the wing some
times attaining a length of one and
one-half inches and fully as savage
an appearing weapon as that OF a
gamecock. One of the wrist bones
known as the radiale projects be-
yond the Others and is capped with
the spur.
A now extinct species of bird
which formerly inhabited Rodriguez
We tess, but an outgrowth OF
b.. ~ the Joint of the radius and
me- .acarpus formed knob that rem
dered the short wing as dangerous
among birds as a policeman's billy.
Some of tlte Australian pheasants
and other gallinaceous birds have
blunt tubercles on the wings, in
creasing their effectiveness as weap-
ons. Africa, Asia and South Amer
lea produce a number of species Of
spur winged plovers.
The jacanas, tropical or SEMI
tropical birds of both hemispheres,
have many of them more or less
developed spurs on the wings, while
one genus, though without spurs,
has the bone of the wing widened
and fattened, forming a sort OF
scimiter.
The screamers, birds related to
ducks, are the most formidably arm
ed birds as to wings. They are pro-
vided with two spurs on each wing
instead of one, the inner and longer
one of which is a three sided stilet-
to of needlelike sharpness.
Some birds while young have a
claw on the wing which is used by
the bird not as weapon, but as an
assistance in dragging itself along,
after the manner Of bat. The gal
linules are an example of birds hay-
ing such claws while young, the
structure being lost before the birds
reach maturity. Cleveland Plain

KINeBIRD OF PARADISE.
His Brilliant PIumsse and His Dance
and Love SONG.

His Brilliant Plunase and His Dance
and Love Song.
A most magnificent fellow is the
kingbird of paradise, and his man
ner of displaying his charms to the
female that has captured his heart
is in keeping with his plumage. The
kingbird of paradise is small, six
and one-half inches long, having the
head, throat and upper part of the
richest glossy crimson, shading to
orange crimson on the forehead.
The under parts are of silky white,
relieved BY an orange red throat,
bordered below by band of metal
lie green, while the flank feathers
are produced into long plumes of
an ash gray color and tipped with
buff and metallic green. The two
middle tail feathers are produced
into long slender stalks, terminal
inc in a wonderful disk of emerald
green. The beak is yellow and the
LEGS are cobalt blue. During those
ecstatic moments in which he pro-
claims his undying devotion to the
bird he desires for his mate the
body is drawn close to the bough
which serves as a perch, while the
head is bent downward toward the
breast, and the wings are spread
and extended forward so as almost
to meet in front of the downcast
head, as though the. performer were
overwhelmed by Sudden panic OF
modestv.
Suddenly all is changed. The
body is extended to its full length
and the wings are violently beaten
as though fight were contemplated:
Then in a moment he gives himself
half turn and, facing the specta-
tors, fiuffs out the silky white under
feather like an apron ana throws
up the long flank feathers ill they
form a fan arching above his back
and on either side of the gorgeously
tinted throat, the beak being now
pointed skyward. Meanwhile the
tail has been drawn forward over
the back, so that the long, wirelike
and disk bearing feathers are raised
high above him. All the while the
BODY is swayed gently from side to
side, and this motion causes the
diskike ends of the long tail feath- at;
ers to simmer in the light, like
balls of FURNISHED metal being tossi
ed to and fro in the air. s. !:
As if these strange antics were
not enough, he bursts. into song,
which bears a close resemblance to
that of the skvlark. Then comes
the finale, which lasts only for few.
seconds. He suddenly turns right
around and shows his back, the
white fluffy feathers under the tail
brisfling in his excitement. He
bends down on the perch in the at
titude of fighting cock, his widely
opened bill showing 'distinctly"the
light apple green color of the ,gui-
let, and sings the same gurg!lng
note without once closing his bill,
and with a slow dying away move
,nent of his tail and body. A single
drawn out note is then uttered, the
tail and wires are lowered and the
dance and song are over.-Chicago

Whist Makes Thi Popular Phrass .
pfsviNeiaiisn.

pfsviNeialism.
Philologists claim that some Of
the most interesting phases Of
language may be traced through the
medium of 60 called colloquialisms
and idioms, and consideration of
the phrase ~you al" as used
throughout the south, would GER
tainly seem to make good this as
sertion. The subject is treated in
Uncle Remus' Magazine in an arti-
Gle by C. Alphonso Smith of the
University of North Carolina. He
says in part:
"1n almost every discussion of
this idiom the disputants have con-
fined themselves to the question,
Is it used in the south as singu-
lar?' Northern writer's have gen.
orally supported the affirmative,
while southern writer's have defend
ed the negative. In fact, Mason
and Dixon's line will have to be re-
traced and made to mark not a po-
litical but an idiomatic distinction.
The shibboleth is no longer, What
do YOU think of slavery or secession
or state rights? but, On the con-
tested use of YOU all are you for the
singular or for the plural?
Southern people undoubtedly
use you all in sense particularly
their own and not as the equiva-
lent of all Of YOU.
"Wkat, then, is the distinctive
meaning ATTACHED to this idiom in
the south: What makes the phrase
a provincialism as used in the
south, but not a provincial~m as
used elsewhere? The following
sentences Will illustrate:
'First.-A mother to her chill
1ren, If you all Wou children) don't
make less noise, Ill send YOU to
Bed
"Second,-A teacher to his pu-
pills, You all (you pupils) haven't
half studied this lesson
"In not one of these characteris-
tic sentences would a southerner
ever think of substituting all of you
for you all. Both idioms are plural,
but the distinctive thing about
southern you all is not its plural
sense, but its representative sense,
together with the accent on you.
"You all, therefore, with the ac-
cent on you, is not an erron for
you all, with the accent on all, or
for all Of you.
"It is something entirely differ
ent. The standard you all and all
of YOU are employed as frequently
in the south as elsewhere, the dis
tinctive you all supplying a desld.
eratum not furnished by either of
the other two phrases. Joel Chan
dler Harris writes as follows:
"You may say without any hest
tation whatever that ''you alp and
eve ALL" "you uns" and eve uns"
invariably refer to more than one
individual. These locutions some
times refer to a partner, to family,
to a settlement and to a whole com.
munity, but never to one individual.
| have seen assertions to the con-
trarv, but YOU may put them down
,as gross mistakes"
