BAPTIST ELDER
Restored to Health by Vinol

Il was run down and weak from in

fered from vertigo. / saw cod liver

tist Church, Kingston, N. c.
Vinol is not a patent medicine-but q
preparation composed Of the medicinal
elements Of Gods livers, combined with
a tonic iron and wine. Vinol creates
a hearty appetite, tones up the organs
of digestion and makes rich, red blood.
In this natural manner, Vinol creates
strength for the rundown, over
worked and debilitated, and for deli
cate children and old people. For
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
Vinol Is unexcelled.
All such persons In this vicinity are

fund their money II it fails to give sat

Electrically Propelled Sleepers.

The electric railway spread sooner
and has developed faster in the West
than in the East. Latterly we have
been making progress. Electric cars
run night and day. They have in some
states the right to carry freight, but
have not made so much of that priv
ilege as was expected thus far. They
are feeders of the steam railways, rath-
er than rivals for long-distance travel,
but as speed is increased and connect
ing lines are linked together the cleo
trio lines will grow in favor for all day
riders and, some believe, for all night
riders as we'll.
An Illinois electric line has been run
ming two sleeping cars for Is months,
and with such success that two more
have been ordered for the same line.
The first sleepers were put on for ex-
periments, and the chief objection to
them proved to be the noise and vibra-
ton cause by the motors and the air
pump. These interfered with sleep,
and the new sleepers will be made
without these noisy accessories and be
run as trailers. The Illinois Traction
Company expect to establish low
fare sleeping car service over all its
lines where the travel justifies it.

THE CANNON ROARED.
How an Ovation by a Youthful De-
mosthenes Was Spoiled.

How an Ovation by Youthful De-
mosthenes Was Spoiled.
While campaigning in his home state
Speaker Cannon was once inveigled
into visiting the public schools of a
town where he was billed to speak.
In one of the lower grades an ambi-
tious teacher called upon a youthful
Demosthenes to entertain the diStin-
guished visitor with an exhibition Of
amateur oratory. The selection at
tempted was Byron's Battle of Wa
terloo," and just as the boy reached
the end of the first paragraph Speaker
Cannon suddenly gave vent to a vio-
lent sneeze.
But hush, bark" declaimed the
youngster-"a deep sound strikes like
rising knell! Did ye hear it?'
The visitors smiled, and a moment
Ia . the second sneeze-which the
speaker was vainly trying to hold back
-ca.ne with increased violence.
But, hark!'' (bawled the boy)-"that
heavy sound breaks in once more.
And nearer, clearer, deadlier than before!
Arm! Arm! It is the cannons opening
rOar!"
This was too much, and the laugh
that broke from the party swelled to
q roar when Uncle Joe chuckled: Put
up your weapons, children. I won't
shoot any more."-SuccesS Magazine.

The Division of Time,

The division of time into hours was
practiced among the Babylonians from
remote antiquity, but it was Hippar-
chus, the philosopher, who introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe. The
sexagesimal system of notation was
chosen by that ancient people because
there is no number having so many di-
visions as sixty. The Babylonians di-
vided the daily journey of the sun, the
ruler Of the day, into twenty-four para
sangs. Each parasang, or hour, was
subdivided into sixty minutes, and that
again into sixty seconds. They COM
pared the progress made by the sun
during one hour at the time Of the
equinox to the progress made by a
good walker in the same period Of
time, both covering one parasang, and
the course of the sun during the full
equinoctial day was fixed at twenty
four parasangs.

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
The Chief Dangers Lie In Panic and
Overexertion.

The Chief Dangers Lie In Panic and
Overexertion.
Let the man who is lost in the woods
be very careful not to overexert him
self. His chief dangers lie In panic
and overeXertion, and, though he may
be in a great hurry to find shelter, I
must warn him to go slowly. Two
miles an hour, on an average, through
the snow in the woods is all that q
man. in his condition will be able to
stand without overfatigue and its at
tendant dangers, overheating and per-
spiration. By exercising caution a
man may live through week Of what
he is undergoing.
To make this article brief, however,
we shall suppose that he regains the
road by the afternoon of the first day.
He doesn't yet know, of course, just
where he is. He should examine the
tracks Of the person who last passed
that way. It being afternoon, he must
follow in the direction taken by the
last passing vehicle or team, as shell
ter will be nearest in that direction.
Had it been morning he would have
taken the opposite direction, as who
ever made the tracks must have come
from the place where he obtained shell
ter the previous night.-A. B. Carleton
in Outing Magazine.

President Roosevelt and BigOtry.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Evening News says:
The President, having played on
every mental, moral and physical chord
of the American Tyre, has at last at
tackled the spiritual, and l confess the
last note is the most discordant of all.
He seems to think political unity of
faith is important, having in his cab
met all Republicans, except one delud-
ed Democrat, and glories in the divers
ity of creeds they represent. l admire
Mr.. Taft-believe the fine natural
graces are so combined in him that
he will give us fine administration
but l declare that President Roosevelt
has gone far beyond the limits of hu-
man audacity when he declares that
it does not matter what man believes,
and, in so saying, fatty contradicts his
Creator, who says it does; and not only
so, but he says it is matter of life and
death what one believes. We are
SPENDING millions and millions on for
eign missions every year for the very
purpose of controlling mems belief.
Missionaries and settlement workers
all know that morality alone will not
keep or make people straight. Just
what props are to vines so morality
alone is to man-it will keep the man
in a given position, but will not make
him go on and expand any more than
the props will the vine. The one and
only thing that can give life is the in
carnation of the Son of God, and it is
by belief we come in contact with Him
for the President to say that it does
no matter whether we have this belief
or not is heresy and wrong preaching
to the youth of America-nay, more,
it is not kind.
The truest friendship consists in the
real interest of his friends, and hav-
ing the light, the Presidnet should try
to induce his friends to believe and not
say that it does not matter. What the
President means by this last communi-
cation l cannot quite understand in a
political way. He is very deep. But
he should remember that promotion
cometh neither from the east or the
west, for God puts down one and raises
another. Attila was called the scourge
of God, and after doing Gods work in
furnishing his career came to an end.

Vocation and Ayocation.

The word vocation is derived from
the Latin vOcO, / call; vocatus, calling.
"Avocation" is derived from avoco,
call away or divert; avocatus, calling
away or diverting. A mans calling OF
vocation is that for which he has pre-
pared himself, for which he is fitted or
for which he has received call, as we
say especially in regard to a religious
vocation. Tut when a man is called
away-avocatus-fr his regular en-
ployment and engages in diversion or
recreation # any kind the word avo-
cation applies to such diversion or call
ing away The recreation may be of
very serious nature, as some profound
study or arGuous work, but it is not his
vocation. The schoolboy has no voca-
ton. He is fitting himself for one.
But he may have many avocations.
Gladstone's vocation was statesman
ship; among his avocations were the
study of the classics, making transla-
tions and sometimes chopping down
trees.-London NJ. A. P.

MEAT IN ITALY.
The Way the Slaughter Houses Are
Operated by Law.

Operated by Law.
Slaughter houses in Italy are public
institutions. The law prescribes that
every town of more than 6,000 inhab-
itants shall build and maintain mu-
nfcipal slaughter house, where all
butchers are compelled to bring their
live stock to be killed. The slaughter
ing itself IS done by the individual
butchers and their assistants. The
conveyance of the cattle, the removal
Of the carcasses and the dressing of
the meat are likewise the affair of the
butchers. The city provides the build
ing, keeps it clean and furnishes vet
Urinary inspectors to examine and
pass upon the carcasses.
The Milan slaughter house Is situ-
ated within the city and occupies sew
eral acres of ground. 1t consists of a
number of long, single story buildings
made of cement and stucco. The build
ings consist of either a single large
hall or else q row Of small box stalls
about twenty-five feet wide and either
fifteen or thirty feet deep. Each stall
has wide double door in front and a
window behind. The buildings are ar
ranged in parallel pairs, each pair
being connected by covered passage
thirty feet wide, whose roof is raised
many feet above that Of the buildings,
being supported by pillars rising from
the roofs on either side. The air thus
circulates under the roofs OF the pas
sages or corridors and over the build
ingS
