''Pll bet none of you folk know that
the largest Enan that ever lived was
born and areaned in North Carolina, ="
said n Tar Heel. Ellis existence and
dimensions are vouched for in the
American Encyclopedia.
'-His name was Miles Darden. He
was feet inches high and in 1S45
weighed 81 pounds. He was born in
North Carolina in 1898 and died in Ten
nessee January %, 1857. Until 1853 he
was able to go about his work in an
active manner, bat his weight increased
so fast that after that year when he
wanted TO move about he. had to be
hauled in two-horse wagon. In 1889
it is chronicled that his coat was but
toned around three men, each weighing
more than 200 pounds, who walked to-
gether in it down the streets Of Lexing-
ton, N. C. At his death he is said to
have weighed not less than 200 pounds.
His coffin was 8 feet long, 35 inches
deep, 32 inches across the breast, Is
across the head and Ia across the feet.
These measurements were taken at the
time and are matters of historical
record -

DOES IT PAY2

Don't advertise if you believe you
are wasting money. Let your competi-
tor waste his money on advertising, and
perhaps in this way you'll soon ''put
him out of business Fix his clock for
him. Just stand back and laugh at him
when you see him squandering his money
for printers ink. Once there was a
boy namrd John-we think his last
name was Wannamaker, or maybe it
was Moneymaker-an anyhow his name
was John with some sort of maker at
tached to his name. He owned 500
yards of calico, three pairs of pants, a
half dozen pairs of boots. He called
this dry goods store and offered to sell
a pair of socks for 81 cents, The
MISUNDERSTANDING merchants
laughed. Young John spent SOS with
the Philadelphia Ledger to advertise
just one time and had less than S1OO
worth of goods. He was cautioned by
the merchants who "knew it didn't
pay" 1t was through sympathy that
they offered him advice. But John
didn't listen to them and vent and blew
his money in foolishly; and today poor
John sees the result of his misdoings-
he has so many large dry goods stores
that he can hardly find time to study
his Sunday school lesson. Baldwin

THE COST OF A BOY.

read the other day that it cost
nearly thousand pounds to bring up
a London boy, and educate and dress
him well. said to myself: THAT is
because everything in the city has to
be bought. and living is high" But
began to study the thing, and / found
that even country boy costs his par
rents good deal.
When you count what boy eats and
what he wears, and the school books he
must have, the doctors bills which have
to be paid when he gets the measles or
the scarlet fever, he will cost his folks
at home at least hundred dollars a
year. If boy is given to breaking
things, skicking the toes out of his
boots, and so on, he costs more than
that; so when am twenty-one and old
enough 70 do for myself. l shall have
cost father more than two thousand
dollars.
Mother cooked my food, and made
my clothes, and patched them, washed
and ironed for me, took care of me

/ was sick, and she never charged any.
thing for that. If she were dead, and
father had to pay for all that, it would
cost another hundred dollars a yeal
more, and that is two thousand dollars
worth of work mother will have done
for me by the time am a man.
Four thousand dollars for a boy
What do you think of that? These are
hard times. When parents put foul

they a right to expect from him? /.

THE VIRGINIA HAM.

We note with amazement a cooking
recipe in New England newspaper
relzfing to Virginia ham," take a
ham," says the teacher of cookery. and
then EOiiows formula in which scrub
bing and soaking, slow boiling, bay
leaves, vinegar and sugar are involved.
And this. in q degenerate day, is the
New England idea of the Virginia ham!
Truly, the chasm has not yet been well
bridged.
The Virginia ham belongs to Virginia
as surely as the terrapin belongs to
4 faryland, and the canvas-back duck to
tt e,sedgy marshes and wild celery beds
of the Chesapeake. New England has
it's Goldfish and its chowder, it's Rhode
Isla nd clam-bal1es and a multitude of
other substantial delicacies not incon-
siaent with the traditions of high
thinking. Why should the descendants
of the Pilgrim Fathers and Cape Cod
whaaers try to initiate the inimitable
Virginia ham?
The real article is grown on pofker
with pedigree. He is not styled OF
domesticated. He roams at will in the
acorn-strewn woods, where his ances.
tors have led the free life since early
Colonial days. He is no prize hog oi

AT THE TURN OF THE TIDE.

You may fondle your fame, like hunter
his game,
And exult in the roar and the rattle,
While the multitudes shout and the
cannon blaze out
The praise of the victor in battle;
But the victor will pine when the shout
ings subside,
And another will shine at the turn of
the tide.
You may subjugate men, as swine to
the pen
By the rod of the tyrant are driven;
You may flourish the whip with a mer-
ciless grip,
While force to your fingers are given;
But your fingers will fail, and the men
you deride
Will flourish the fail at the turn of
the tide.
You may prosper by wrong, as tyrants
do, long,
And rule like pitiless Nero;
And the truculent slave may Justify rave
In praise of his maculate hero;
But the tyrant will quail when the Judge
shall decide,
And the right will prevail at the turn
of the tide.

POISON TAKEN FROM A VIPER.

For the first time in eighty years
and the second fime in the history of
the science of medicine an operation
for the extraction of venom from the
deadly lancehead viper, said to be the
most poisonous of all known reptiles,
was performed at the Bronx Geological
Park.
The operation, which was directed by
z. W. Runyon. of New York, through
whose efforts the snake was captured
and brought to New York, was a COM
pIete success, and as result science
once more has plentiful supply of the
serum which has been found almost in
valuable in the treatment of extreme
cases of insanity and also of many of
the malignant diseases.
The extremely powerful nature of
the lancehead' S venom can be 20 better
described, probably, than by the de-
claration of one of the scientists who
witnessed the operation. When the
perilous task had been completed and
the precious fluid had been carefully
weighed and found to be less than
third of an ordinary teaspoonful in
quality, he announced that the supply
was ample to meet the demands of the
world for at least half century.
He explained at the same time that
this would provide for the most wide
spread use of the serum in all the
malignant diseases, such as typhoid and
scarlet fever and diphtheria. So pow
erfui is the action that it is prescribed
only in the most minute quantities, the
largest portion commonly used contain
ing only one ten trillionth of grain.
From that point the trituration con-
tinues down to a point where figures
would be useless in attempting TO
describe it.

MONEY.

Gain all you can; save all you can;
give oil you can,
1t is no more sinful TO be rich than to
be poor, but it is dangerous beyond ex-
preston. How can you, on principles
of reason, spend your money in way
which God may possibly forgive, in
stead of spending it in a manner which
He will certainly reward,
Every dollar you give to the poor is
put into the bank of heaven, and it
will bring glorious interest; yea, and
such rs will be accommodating to all
eternity,
| For as to gold and silver trample it
under my feet. ] only fear lest any of
it should cleave to me, and should not
be able TO shake it off before my spirit
returns to God.
If you are not in pressing want give
something, and you will be no poorer
for it. Grudge not, fear not; lend unto
the Lord, and He will surely repay.
If you earn but three shillings a
week, give a penny out of it, and you
who have ten or fifteen shillings a
week, and give only q penny, have
been ashamed for you, if you have not
been ashamed for yourself Give in
proportion TO your substance. Open
your eyes, your heart, your hand. -
John Wesley.

TO REMOVE WRINKLES.

Work across them or at right angles
to them. You will see them go away
very rapidly. Often you can smooth
down the high burrows in very short
time. No matter how tall the ridges
may be, you can level them with your
finger tips.
Then come the wrinkles at the side
of the eyes, and for these l use the ro-
tary motion as learned it in Paris,
says an expert. 1t is wonderful way
to treat the wrinkles that lie in the cor
ners of the eyes. There are millions of
them. They lie in the temples and
they crisscross your entire side face.
They are at the corners of your eyes.
they are in the forehead, and they
branch off until they make the widow s
wrinkles at the lobes of the ears.
l tackle the widows wrinkles and
the wrinkles at the outer edge of the
eye in the same manner. / give them
the round and round movement. To dc
this successfully you must dip your fin
gers in cold cream and go round and
round, touching the wrinkles lightly.

IS LOVE AT FIRST
SIGHT POSSIBLE?

Love at first sight makes itself felt
by implanting in each of two people an
.inteEse interest for the other-an inter-
est ,orly at first, occasioned by some
actor, OF manner that pleases the senses.
This interest is, of course, a form of
love, hutapGts,epresentative of that pas
shon as itds fypSwn generally. There
feisows ,eaen.R yearning for the So
ciety of the ,othe.. sand if this is graft
fled Eove speedily !begts,s to increase at
an alarming pace. :S9;rtense is the in
terest and so quick the ~ owth of love
that each is ready to say, ~ loved you
from the dsrst moment saw ,you."
Yet should circumstances have torn
apart the taso whose first glance ~ in
terested each other the love would have
died ere it Was born.
us love at hesst possibe?'' is usually
the subject that interests the maid of
tender years Od course it is possible,
but what strikes one as love at the
moment is more likeiy to be mere in
fatuation. When the heart is awaken
ing young girls are afd so magnify the
merest trifies. A tender glance is be-
slowed upon them. which starts pal
pitation that disturbs the rest, and the
maid asks herself fearfully, 'Tsat lave?"
Almost all things that are stated of
love are possible, for being the greatest
thing in the world, its influence is
boundless- 1t is possible for one to love
at fifteen, and another never to feel,
the same passion until forty. So muchS
depends on one having some one toloye,
for slntil the some one comes whose!
heart-ehords strike in 1nison with osrs,
our love lies hidden, even from our
selves.
Love at first sight is rare and not to
be coveted. For one real case there are
hundred false ones, and these usually
result in unfortunate. hasty marriages.
There as nothing so profitable as real
Lowe, .aRd nothing so expensive and dis
a.strous in its effect as the false.
1t is worth our while to wait years
and to safer, so that in the end we OBJ
tain the real thing. But rather than
accept that of doubtful quality it were
better to decline and live in hope.
THE next best thing to wisdom in love
affairs is patience. Love suffers by
haste. Lovers are usually hasty, and
it is to their undoing unless wisdom
comes to them in some shape or form.
Thousands of love affairs that open in
golden fashion luckily fall to pieces,
failing to stand the test of time. Time
kills them, and were it not so it would
mean lives spoiled by hasty unions.
Almost every girl has in her mind a
picture of her ideal man. 1t may be
vague, and If she wereasked to describe
such person, probably she would draw
picture of a handsome creature load
\ ed with virtues. 1t would be impossible
\ at first sight to prove that any man
| filled an ideal picture. for half the
number Of his virtues could only be
| found out by companionship. N. Y.

LAST BATTLE ON BUNKER HILL

BY THE RED SNAPPER.
There was sturdy farmer,
And he had his fingers full
With the milking of his ere e'ters,
And attending to his bull.
One day this bull grew angry,
With his head he struck a blow.
And knocked the sturdy farmer
Off his pins into a row.
He gave him such drubbing,
From his hat crown to his corns,
And it would have been a worse one
If the beast had had his horns.
land when you think about it,
Twas a most peculiar case,
Tho the bull had denned his quarry
He was still upon the Chase.]
The hired man brought pitch fork,
Socked it in the monsters nose;
The pressure being thus removed
The sturdy farmer rose.
But ever since that awful day
He's had to tend the brats,
While his wife was mixing ointment
For his many broken Stats.
"l'll never own another"
lsexactly what he swore,
When he shipped that fighting monster
To the town of Baltimore.
And tho it's been a month ago,
That war cry echoes still
Around the corners of the barn
On the nights of Bunker Hill.

wary, keen of scent, and choice in his

he is partly domesticated, and fed
bountifully on sweet corn, and after he
has been transformed into an article of
food it is not only the cooking that
makes him a feast for gods. The Vir-

COMMONPLACE PHILOSOPHY.

However dark the way you view,
Eon't let it daunt you-see it thru.
Aitho your path leads down thru night
Without one welcome ray of light,
'Tis Snly towards take to flight;
Let not the host of circumstance put
VOC co rout,
Ger every obstacle advance and stick it
cut.
God puts us here upon the earth
To try our courage and our worth,
TO make our characters complete,
He who acknowledges defeat
Shall never know the ransom sweet.
Be not g craven in your fear, a prey to
doubt,
But thru al hardships persevere-and
stick it cut.
We never have a load of care
SO heavy that we cannot bear,
We never have so great q sin
That over it we cannot win
ID only fortified within;
Whatever bars or seeming ia hedge us
about,
Can't check us if we have the wip to
stock it out.
The spinit with inherent strength
Surmounts all obstacles at length;
However dark they looked before,
He. sees when he has passed them Ger
That tthey are shadows. nothing more:
Then meet each test that comes to you
with courage stout,
However dark the way you view, just
stick it out.
