When the Orator SCARED.

In the course of an address extolling
the virtues of the medical profession,
DR.. L. B. McBrayer of Asheville, N. c.,
used the following characteristic
southern language:
Gould l borrow from the sun his
CHEEKY smile, from the moon her
golden beams Of light, from the south
ern zephyrs their softness. from the
rose it's fragrance. from the rainbow
its celestial beauty, from the babbling
brook its laughter and song, from the
sea its awe and wonder, from the val
ley its serenity, and from the noun
tains their majesty and put these
down upon piece of azure blue sky,
with comets. for commas and planets
for periods, might then paint for you
what the practice of medicine is like"
The extraordinary popularity OF fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great Inn
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

Produce. Plants Chemically.

The chemical creation of live plants
Is a scientific feat which Professor
Stephane Leduc of the Nantes Medical
school claims to have accomplished.
The professor has been experiment.
ing in search of the secret of life for
ten years. His process is thus briefly
described: From experiments with So
buttons which were good conductors of
electricity, he discovered force which
he describes as osmotic pressure. The
property of this force is to animate in
organic matter dissolved In a liquid,
and by this means, Professor Leduc
says, he was able to bring into exist
ence an organism identical in every re-
spect with living tissue.
The professor gradually created arti-
fetal cells, which lived, reproduced
and multiplied to an extraordinary ex-
tent. From these, through long proc
ess of evolution, he has actually pro-
duced. according to his report, live
plants three or four inches long.

THE LAKE SKIPPER.
How He Taught "A Salt Water Vet
eFan to Hustle.

How He Taught "A Salt Water Vet
eran to Hustle.
There was a salt water captain who,
for reasons of his own, accepted
berth as first mate in a big passenger
steamer on the great lakes. He was a
capable seafaring man, but he did not
know what hustle" meant until he
went aboard at Buffalo. The lake skip
per to whom he reported for duty re-
marked in the most casual manner:
Just give her a coat of paint this
morning. and, if the sun stays hot and
she dries in good shape, give her sec
ond coat this afternoon"
The salt water mate staggered in his
tracks and made amazed protest. This
was 5000 ton vessel, and giving her
two coats of paint was several days
work by his reckoning. The lake skip
per was a person Of discernment,
wherefore he had pity on his new mate
and forbore to deal harshly with him,
explaining with tolerant grin:
''All right. | suppose you'll have to
learn to move lively after snoozing
'ltoulu Shi' hdIcl an Soul A1lC' 4ou
just pass that order along to the bos'n
and tell him it's got to be done, and
then you sit up and take notice"
The bosn took the order calmly, as il
it were in the days work, and by night
fal! the big steamer was spick and
span with two coats of paint from her
water line to her guard rail. The sailor
from deep water had learned his first
lesson in the ways Of the great lakes
during the navigation season. when the
hard driven shipping must be forced to
do twelve months work in half a year

LIGHTNING CONDUCTORS.

Decrease In Use of Protecting Rods
In Last Thirty Years.
1t seems probable that there has been
a decided falling off in the use of light
ming conductors within the last thirty
years. According to the United States
census statistics. there were in 1870
twenty-five establishments manufac-
turing lightning rods. which turned out
a product valued at $1,374,631. In the
next decade the number of establish
ments fell to twenty and the vaNe Of
the product. to 1901. 1872 and finally in
1890 the number of establishments rose
to twenty-five. but the value of the
product diminished to $4S3, 296 In the
census of 1000 the classification in
vogue from 1860 to 1890 was abandon
ed, and lightning rods were tabulated
In the general classification foundry
and machine shop products" There
are no means of determining absolute
ly whether the large decrease in the
value of the manufactured product
from 1870 to 1890 marks decline in
the use of lightning conductors.
III large CLUES tue use Ol HSutullS
rods Is not imperative. owing to the
prevalence of modern steel structures
and in general buildings with metal
roofs. For buildings that stand iso-
lated in the open country the prudent
course would be to install thereon a
system of protection from lightning.
The extent to which the building should
be protected and naturally the expense
Of installation should bear some def
mite relation to the value of the build
ing. If the building is insured against
loss by fire or lightning, it would not
seem advisable to go to the additional
expense Of erecting lightning rods In
any event the final decision must be
reached by the owner of the building.
In arriving at his decision he should
be guided by the fact that, while abso-
lutte security from damage by light
ming is attainable only with great diff
ficulty and considerable expense. rea-
sonable degree of protection can be Sc
cured by very simple means, provided
the system of protection be devised
and erected by thoroughly competent
person-From a Bulletin Issued by

At the left Of the dial skeleton stands,
And aloft hangs musical bell in the

Which he rings by rope that he holds in
his hands
In his punctual function of striking the
