the sense of doing nothing. A holiday
maker Of this type very often goes to a

Parchment.

Parchment is the skin Of sheep or
other animals prepared In sheets to
render them fit for being written upon.
The heavier parchment, used for
drumheads, Is made from skins Of
asses, older calves, wolves and goats.
All these are similarly prepared. The
skin, being freed from the hair, is
placed In lime pit to cleanse it from
fat. The peH is then stretched upon
a frame, care being taken that the
surface is free frem wrinkles. The
flesh Is then pared of with a circular
knife. 1t is then moistened and whit
ing spread over it. The workman then
with a large pumice stone rubs the
skin. he next goes over it with an
iron instrument and rubs it carefully
with pumice stone, without chalk. The
skin is gradually dried, tightening be-
ing occasionally required.

The Old Roman Epicures.

Almost any dish which had to rec
ommend it rarity. costliness. indigestl.
bility and, to our way Of thinking, mas
tiness was sure to take with the Ro
man epicure. And if he were unable
to made it costly any other way he
would add powdered precious stones or
gold dust. Nero dined on one occasion
from peacock which was sprinkled
with diamond dust, and specimens Of
that bird dressed with gold or with
crushed pearls were by no means a
rarity at the triclinia of the moneyed
Romans. A dish Of parrots tongues
was great delicacy. But dish OF
parrots tongues which had been capa.
bic, when in their proper place. of
framing words was of almost meal
culable value, which increased in Gi-
rect ratio with the vocabulares of the
defunct parrots. Another bird for
which the Roman epicure was in the
habit of paying fabulous prices was
the phenecoptrix, which is believed to
have been the ptarmigan. 1t had its
home in the most northerly parts Of
Scotland and Norway. and as this
made it hard to get at the Romans ap-
preciated it all the more and put it in
the same rank with ostriches, buz-
yards and peacocks. The tongues Of
these birds were specially prepared, to-
gether with the brains, and took the
place which hors d'oeuvre would now
take.

EMERSON FOUND GUILTY.
jury, However, Includes Recommen-
dation of r1ercy.

ANDERSON, Jan. 16.-The jury in the
ease of the State VS.. Allen Emerson
charged with the murder of T. f. Drake
returned a verdict of guilty of murder with
. recommendation to mercy tonight, after
deliberating about one hour. The de-
fendant displayed little, if any, emotion
when the verdict was read. Thomas
Allen of counsel for the defense gave
notice of intention to apply for new
trial.
Emerson, who was guard on the
county chaingang, killed T. F. Drake in
the home of the latter on the night OF
the nth of last August. Emerson was
in the room with one of brakes daugh-
ters, and Drake came in the room on them
With his pistol in his hand. He fired one
shot at Emerson, who fred two shots, the
latter killing Drake instantly. The plea
was self.defense. Emerson and the
woman had been intimate for several
years, and Drake had forbidden Emerson
70 come to the house.

Hours Of Sleep.

: The belief that the hours Of sleep
should be artifcially restricted is con-
trary to ordinary good sense. If the
human body does not need sleep for
the upbuilding Of its tissues it will not
call for it. A rule Of health which can
not be wrong is to sleep If possible as
long as any inclination for it exists.
The erroneous view on this subject is
undoubtedly due to the fact that when
the mind and body are thoroughly rest
ed it Is often difficult to arouse the
mind from it's comfortable lethargy.
On the other hand, the man who Is
under q mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night Is keen and
alert soon after awakening. But it is
an unhealthy activity. His nerves are
at high tension. He is on edge, so to
speak. Such a strain long continued
results inevitably in nervous break
down.-Cleveland Leader.

Lightning's Course.

ION the water" said a grizzled old
bayman who stood smoking his corn
cob and surveying the bay the other
day, when you see thunder storm
rising you want to keep an eye on the
lightning. If you see it in the distance
striking down farther and farther to
the right from where you first saw it or
farther and farther to the left, this in
dicates that the storm Is working to
the right or to the left, and 1t may
pass around you. But If you see it all
the time coming down in the same
place and at the same time getting
brighter and brighter, why. that indi-
Gates that it's coming straight toward
you, and this is the time, son. when
you want to make for home or get in
your sail and make everything snug till
the storm passes over."-Exchange.

The Words ON a Cigar Box.


What mean the various words which
are stamped on the lid aud sides Of a
cigar box? These are not mere fancy
names, but terms actually descriptive
of the cigar. On the lid Is the name Of
the cigar. The front Of the box de-
scribes the shape and size, as CON
chas," "reina," "regalias." which state
the shape, and 'perfecto infantes, -
''princesses," which signify the size.
These may be combined, as "conchas
speciales," "conchas finas," to state
both shape and size. At the back of
the box, where the lid turns over, is
stamped the quality of the cigar-"su'
perfna," "fina," "flor," superior" and
''bueno," being the terms in the de-
scending scale. The color Of the cigar
is declared on the right hand side or
end Of the box. "Claro" signifies the
lightest colored, colorado claro" rath-
er dark, "colorado' dark, colorado ma
duro" darker, "maduro" very dark,
'oscuro" extremely dark, negro" dark.

Lo, The Wise Indian.

There has been quite little said about
the CRATER taking advantage of the
Indian. 1t is not always thus. A land
man who wanted an Indians signature
10 q deed told the Indian, who was suffer
ing with to"thache, to go to a dentist and
have his teeth fixed, and said that be, the
CRATER, would pay the expense. The
CRATER did this to jolly the Indian into
signing the deed. The Indian returned
from the dentists with S23S worth of

paid the bill Whether the Indian sign

8 81 We have been bereaved of our loved
senes, many hearts have been made sad,

Why? Because we failed to strew flowers
IN the path of our loved ones before
death. This is vexation of spirit.
notice the many beautiful flowers
that have been given to our departed
friends and loved ones, and the many
beautiful things said about them, flowers
That they would have greatly appreciated
I'm life, 1t they bad been given in the same
spirit, but now they cannot enjoy them.
Again, If all the good things had been
8 said of them during their short stay here,
both in the papers and among ourselves
% regards their lovely traits Of character,
{ etc. oh how it would have encouraged
them. Il would have encouraged them
% much to push onward and upward in
righteousness, but many of Us Withhold the
fOwers and strew thorns instead, and
Withhold the good things that might be
said and speak evil things instead.
This say is an evil uuder the sun, 80
{ lei us try to begin to strew flowers in
each others path in life as well as in
death. Let us say good things about all
who are worthy Of having good things
said about them in life as well as in
Neath. And if our brother should fall, go
to his rescue and tell him Of all his lovely
traits as well as his bad ones, beg him to
cease from evil and learn to do well. In
30 doing we will hide multitude of sins.
In SO doing we will bear each others
burdens, help hold up each others hands.
Many time in my life have I felt the
need of some one to help hold up my
hands.
Help us to cheer each other up,
Each others cross to bear,
Help US to strew sweet flowers
And say kind words
While loved ones can see and hear.
Help US to see each others faults,
And to their rescue 60;
a. Help us tn plead and pray,
That we might not 90 astray,

We can rejoice
