for years 70 come. The staff will be
backed by the student body associa-
ton Of the high school and are as
sured Of success, and indeed have
manifested will to leave no stone
unturned that will make It so. AL
ready big list Of guaranteed sub
scriptions has been secured, many of
them calling for Ten and fifteen
copies. A large list will be put IN
the field and the publication is sure
to prove to be a good advertising
medium, and deserves-and must
have-the loyal support of the local
business men in liberal advertising.
The publication will consist Of
over fifty pages; will contain half
tones Of each class in The high
school; individual cuts of the foot
ball team coach, and manager;

stories many Of which are already
in the hands Of the staff, and write
ups on every branch of school ac-
tivity and the alumni Of the school.

torial work in the high school was
announced by the head Of the Eng
lish department. Yesterday forenoon.
Each junior will deliver a selection
from some famous orator for the con-
test that will take place next spring,
and when that event comes of
Demosthenes, Cicero. Spartius, Pat
rick Henry and Webster will meet

the worlds greatest orator The
plan is to inspire the juniors with
more interest in this work that they
may enter it with more zeal, and to
encourage he individual efforts of the
members OF the class The event
will first be class affair, but should

A TALE OF THE SEA.
The Upside Down Cruise of the Cap
tain of the Erndte.


An almost incredible instance Of the
perils attending those who go to sea
was the basis Of story told in
maritime court of Dantzic some years
ago by the captain of the sailing ship
Erndte. Nothing that Jules Verne,
Clark Russell and H. G. Wells ever
fancied in their wonderful tales sur
passed the story told by Captain En-
gellandt.
He had sailed from Memel with a
carload of planks for Oldenburg. The
captain remained at the wheel dur
ing a gale which overlook the vessel
next night and at in the morning
went to the cabin to change his wet
clothes.
He had just got into dry under
clothing when his vessel capsized, and
he found himself standing on the
roof of the cabin, the door of which
the sea had Theoretically closed.
By loosening the boards of what
was now the roof he got into the hold.
which contained only loose sails. For
tunately some shelves Of high cup
board remained intact, and from
them he collected some cans Of con-
densed milk, some prunes, rice, su-
gar and sausage. He also found a
hammer.
For twelve days the master Of the
ship lived in his prison, eating as
sparingly as possible and drinking
sea water, which appeared to have
no i'll effect on him. He employed
his free time in hammering on the
steel bottom of the ship to attract the
attention of passing vessels. He knew
when it was day for a dim light PEN
etrated the water.
On the twelfth day the Norwegian
steamer Aurora sighted the wreck and
sent a boat to take it in tow. Engel-
landt had fallen asleep; but, hearing
footsteps over his head, he began
knocking with his hammer and shout
ing for help. The Aurora's men re-
turned to their ship for tools, with
which they bored a hole through the
bottom of the Erndle where they
had heard the shouting. When they
drew out their drill, mans finger
followed, and they soon learned that
Engellandt had food for four days
more and wished to be towed to land,
for it was impossible to release him
in the open sea.
The Aurora towed the wreck safe
ly to Neufahrwasser. where with con-
siderable difficulty it was attached to
a huge crane, a plate was unloosen-
ed and the imprisoned master was
freed. He was perfectly conscious
and even able to walk alone. The
three men who had constituted his
crew were of course drowned when
the vessel capslzed.-New York Tri-

WOULD-BE CLEVER GIRL.
Gives Advice on Every Subject and
Knows 1t ALL


Knows II All.
Many a girl thinks it clever to be
cutting and sarcastic, and wonders
why she is unpopular.
She has a gift of mimicry, and
thinks it oh, so smart to touch up
the weaknesses of her friends.
She is full Of openly expressed
views that her elders are tottering on
the verge of the grave, and calls the
girl who has been out two seasons a
back number"
She thinks knowledge was born
with her, and graspingly refuses to
credit others with a share.
She believes she is attracting ia
vorable notice by loud talking in
public places, and scorns the sugges-
ton that she is making herself con-
spicuous.
She gives advice on every known
subject and thinks those who do not
take it wanting in common sense.
She blazons abroad the little she
KNOWS, lOOIlSIlly lIllIhluS IL Will pass
muster as a fine education.
She poses as artistic or musical or
literary, and bores every one with her
textbook opinions.
She fancies that to be uncensorious
is to be out of date, and makes her
self a byword with her backbiting
gossip.
She considers it clever to be supe-
rior to her mother, and never imagines
that her hearers are ready to slap
her for her silly conceit.
She believes that eccentricity in
dress is a sign of great originality,
and fortifies herself against criticism
by the lordy idea that her critics
are ignorant.
She thinks it smart to defy COnven-
tions, pertly calling those who would
restrain her "old fogies."

COW AND BEAR FIGHT A DRAW.
Honors Even In Hot Mix-Up on a
Long Island Roadway.

Long Island Roadway.
A big brown bear which has per-
formed for the amusement of the chill
dren of many Long Island villages
probably never acted with quite so
much agility as it exhibited the other
day when it encountered along the
road a brindle COW belonging to Joseph
Harrigan, Of East Neck, Huntington.
The COW is very proud of long and
sharp pair of horns. The bear at first
entertained little respect for the horns,
but he learned something.
Harrigan was leading the COW along
the East Neck road, when the bear
loomed up in leash to a pair of Rus
slams. The COW, at sight of the bear
began to below, jerked the rope from
her owners hand and charged the bear.
Bruin appeared to be surprised and
made no defense to the first onslaught
the result being rip IA inches long In
his fur. from which blood dripped.
Then the COW, flushed with success,
began a second charge.
Bruin. this time unhampered by his
keepers. who had both climbed trees.
reared on his launches. and as the
COW closed in. raised his fOrepaws and
ripped two beautiful streaks down her
shoulders
The horns had again scored, how
ever, and both were glad to cease hos
tilities when Harrigan again got his
COW in tow.-New York Times.

Has any one an idea what 100000 Of
cubic feet means? 1t is a larger bulk
than the greatest Of the Egyptian pyr-
amids. Three million cubic yards of
dirt, if hauled by two-hOrse wagon
teams. would make a string Of teams,
than 100000 miles long. The Suez
canal was ten years building, between
1859 and 1869. 1t is about 100 miles
long and cost nearly $1O0,O00,O00. We
are digging a Suez canal every year,
counting the excavation. The sanitary
department cuts and burns or removes
100000 square yards Of brush
year, drains a million square yards Of
swamp lands, keeps up 100000 feet
Of bitches and fumigates 100000
square feet Of living quarters,
Cost Of the Canal.
Let us see what it will cost to build
this canal. The United States paid the
French Panama Canal company $780,
100000 and to the Panama government
$10,000,000. It authorized an expendi-
ture Of $195 100000 for the construction
of the canal. The total amount ex-
pended up to date including the $780,
100000 is S145,OOO,OOO. The last ap-
preparation act carried for next years
expenses $29,177,0O0 The total appro-
priations made to date are $17O,964,-
46S.5S. Therefore within the original
total of $195, 100000 there are left not
quite $25,OOO,OOO. It is now supposed
that the canal will cost altogether any
way from $300,0OO,OO0 to $5O0,0O0 000
No doubt there are men who will cry
out that this is a sheer waste of mon
ey. The same kind Of men ridiculed
the Suez canal in its beginning as a
chimerical scheme, but it has paid from
II to II per cent on the investment
and there need be no fear that in this
respect history will not repeat itself in
the case Of the Panama canal.
What the Panama canal will mean
to the world in the way Of shortening
distances in the matter Of transporta-
ton and the consequent saving Of time
and expense in the way Of coal con-
sumption and freight costs. may be
realized when it is stated that the
whole distance from New York to San
Francisco around Cape Horne is 49,
900 miles. Through the Panama canal
the distance will be only 5000 miles, a
saving of 5000 miles, a distance equal
to two and a half times across the
United States. When the battleship
Oregon made her famous trip from San
Francisco to Santiago it took her sixty
six days. If the canal had then been
built. she could have made the trip in
fifteen days, less than one-third of the
time"

Let us make Il few comparisons,
First 100000 of cubic feet of earth
and rock a month was thought to be
good work; then eXcavating 100000
was thought to be a fairly good av-
erage: next 100000 a month was
reached. and now the slogan is that
100000 Il month must be reached.

GREEK AGAINST GREEK.
The Transaction Between the Jockey
and the Horse Doctor.

The Transaction Between the Jockey
and the Horse Doctor.
A secret service official was talking
Of the tricks of smugglers and other
lawbreakers with whom he came in
contact. ITO outwit Them" he said
1--WE must be very, very astute. The
fight is then Greek against Greek. It
is the jockey against the horse doctor
Perhaps you may have heard the
story? No? Well then, give ear.
"a gentleman at a country fair saw
jockey and a horse doctor haggling
dreadfully over the sale of a mare. It
interested him to see two such tricky
and shrewd characters opposed, and
at the end of the sale he approached
the Jockey and asked him how he had
made out.
~ sold her said the man. And he
held up a five dollar note.
But is that all you got for her?
asked the gentleman.
Its enough was the reply. She's
dead lame
"Chuckling to himself, the gentle
man sought out the horse doctor.
"'See here, friend said he, do
you know you have given IS for a
hopelessly lame mare?'
THE horse doctor wagged his thin
gray beard.
Lame she is, 1 grant you he
said. But hopelessly lame, no. In
fact she is as sound as 1 am. She's
badly shod, that's all that is the mat
ter with her. l saw it at a glance
THE gentleman whistled at this
news He went back to the jockey
and told him what the horse doctor
had said.
But the jockey, with wink OF
the eye, explained:
THAT mare is as lame as a one
legged veteran. l had her shod badly
on purpose to take some greenhorn
in
at this the gentleman laughed
loud and long. Hurrying back to the
horse doctor again, he said:
MY dear sir, with all your cum
ming that jockey has proved to" much
for you. The mare is incurably lame
He had her shod badly on purpose to
take you in
"On receipt of this news the old
horse doctor shook his head gravely.
well, anyway, he said, 1t was a
counterfeit five dollar note.

everything else being equal, a premium

everything else being equal, a premium
will be paid for same.
The manufacturers will pay better
prices for cotton free from rot and
country damage, because his percent
age of waste will be decreased.
The point desire to impress is; take
care of your cotton, handle it as though
you thought something of it. If you
cannot put it in a warehouse where 1t
is insured and you can use the receipt,
put it in your barn, or shed room, or
anywhere to keep it from climatic con-
ditions until you market it, and by do
ing this every pound will be spinnable
and no dissatisfaction between produc-
er. buyer and manufacturer will re-
suit.
There are some places in South Car
olina where warehouse facilities are
adequate, but are unfortunately not
utilized. My own experience is that
four lots of cotton out of every five
shipped from places where cotton Is
not warehoused are badly damaged,
due to the fact that it is allowed to sit
on one end for weeks and months In
the open before it is offered for sale,
and as a result, heavy claims are made,
and yet the best character of cotton, so
far as body and staple is concerned, Is
produced at these places, and would be
very much sought were the element
of damage eliminated.
In conclusion, l would strongly urge
that this matter be brought to the at
tention of all concerned, and thereby
save twelve and one-half million dol
lars per year to the southland.
Very truly yours,
Jno. D. Frost.

KEEPING A SECRET.
The Feasibility of Telling Secrets to
Wonen

There, now, I've told you!" said
the married man. II know 1 shouldn't
have done so, but you've coaxed
until / had to. Now you know all
about it, and I hope you are satisfied.
1T wasn't my secret" said the
man, sadly. That's the point, as 1
told you. It's Browns secret. He
confded in me as man of honor. He
trusted me, and now I've betrayed his
confidence"
"Nonsense" said the woman. IF
ne expected you to keep things from
your wife he ought to be ashamed Of
himself. If he keeps secrets from
Mrs. Brown I've got my opinion of
him. But what 1 don't understand
said the man. You women never
do. Certainly he expected when I
said that I wouldn't tell living soul,
that l would keep my word. He didn't
think / was so weak that I would
let you twist me around your little
finger and worm the whole thing out
Of me-"
why, how you do talk" said the
woman. 1T isn't as if you had gone
around telling everybody That would
be different"
Would it," said the married man.
"Of course, it would" replied his
wife. II should hope it would. But
it seems to me that you're making a
great fuss about nothing"
II know you don't consider it any
thing" said the man. II have al
ways been accustomed to regard a
confidence as sacred, though. How
do you suppose I'm going to look
Brown in the face when I next meet
him? What do you suppose that he
will think of me when he learns that
I've broken faith with him?"
'In the first place, don't see how
he's going to learn anything of the
kind" said the woman. I'm the sec
ond place, you haven't told me
word Of"
DO you think I can depend upon
you not to say anything about it to
any of your friends?" asked the man,
anxiously.
DO you suppose I'd dream of such
thing after you've told me not to
mention it? But, for that matter,
don't see why"
You won't whisper it?"
NO. of course 1 won't but"
Not If Mrs. Jameson comes
around with a choice tid-bit Of gossip
and gets all swelled up over it?"
You know wouldn't. Now, Hen
ry 1 want you to stop talking a mo-
ment and let me get in a word. What
I want to know is"
"Of course, she'll say that she'll
never breathe a word Of ii" said the
man, disregarding her plea. "All the
same, you mustn't trust her. Remem-
Der, now Not word Of it, or hint"
II don't see what there is to be so
secret about" said the woman. Il
won't say anything about it If you
don't want me to, but 1t seems absurd.
What would 1t matter, II anybody in
the place knew it? 1t wouldn't hurt
anybody so far as ] can see. I should
think Mr.. Brown would tell every
body himself. It's to his advantage
to have it known. 1t will advertise
his business"
II wonder!" said the married man,
musingly.
You wonder what?"
II wonder If that isn't the idea
Brown had when he told me. 1 expect
he knows how hard it is for me to
keep anything from you"
You're a mean old thing" said
the woman. II don't believe it's any
secret at all, and I don't believe
you would have told me if it had
been. n."-Chicago News.

ORIGIN OF VEGETABLES.
Where Many of Those in Daily Usage
Were First Grown.

Where many or nose IN Oally Usage
Were First Grown.
The potato, which was already cul-
tivated in America when. the conti-
nent was discovered, is spontaneous
in Chile It was introduced in Europe
in 1880 and 1885 by the Spaniards,
and almost at the same time by the
English, who brought it from Virgin
ia, where it had appeared about 1850.
The sweet potato and the Jerusalem
artichoke are also supposed to come
from America.
Satisfy is found in a wild state in
Greece. Dalmatia, Italy and Algeria.
According to Olivier de Series, it has
been cultivated in the south of France
since the sixteenth century.
Turnips and radishes came origi-
nally from central Europe. The beet
root and the beet, which have been
greatly improved by cultivation, are
considered as the same species by bo-
tanists The beet, only the stalk of
which is eaten, grows wild in the
Mediterranean, Persia and Babylonia.
Garlic. onions, shalots and leeks
have long been cultivated in almost
all countries, and their origin is very
uncertain. That Of the scallion is
better known. 1t grows spontaneously
in Siberia. One finds chives in wild
state throughout the Northern Hemis-
phere.
The radish, greatly modified by cul-
tivation, probably had its origin in the
temperate zone, but from what wild
species it is derived is not exactly
known.
The lettuce appears to be derived
from the endive, which is found wild
in temperate and southern Europe, in
the Canaries, Algeria, Abyssnia and
temperate western Asia.
Wild succory is spontaneous
throughout Europe, even in Sweden,
in Asia Minor, Persia, the Caucasus,
Afghanistan and Siberia. Cultivated
succory is probably form of endive
which is thought to have had its origin
in India.
Corn salad is found wild through
out Europe, Asia Minor and Japan.
Cabbage, like all vegetables which
have been cultivated from remote
times, is believed to be Of European
origin.
The artichoke is the cultivated form
of the wild cardoon, indigenous to
Madeira, the Canaries, Morocco, the
south of France, Spain, Italy and the
Mediterranean islands.
Asparagus had it's origin in Europe
and temperate western Asia.
The origin of the egg plant is India,
that Of the broadbean is unknown, as
also that of the lentil, the pea, check
pea and haricot. The last named ap-
pears to have come originally from
America.
The carrot grows spontaneously
throughout Europe. Asia Minor, ST.
IBERIA, northern China, Abyssinia, nor
thern Africa, Madeira and the Canary
Islands.
Chervil comes from temperate wes-
tern Asia, parsley from the south OF
Europe and Algeria. sorrel from Eu-
rope and northern Asia, the mountains
of India and North America. Spinach
is supposed to come from northern
Asia.
For some twenty years past the
crosnes has been used. This little
tubercle with fine savory flesh, which
has long been cultivated in China and
Japan, is probably indigenous to cas-
tern Asia.
The tomato comes from Peru, the
cucumber from India and the pump
kin from Guinea.-Revue Scientifique.
