DURHAM gets many things for
which she should be thankful.
But just suppose for a moment
that Durham made half the effort
many places make for new enter
prises and had half the success
she has over what she now goes
after, what would be the result.
We have a good town and we
know it, but the trouble is that
there are so many people that do
not know the many advantages
that we have to offer. Our good
schools, both city and county,
our factories that give profitable
employment to so many people,
and a town full Of progressive
and hustling people that embrace
the opportunities offered to make
money should be known to more
people and the best plan to do
this should be found out and
placed before people.

weddings, but always goes. when in

complimentary to the bride or to the

common remark Of the women who
are inspecting the layout Of silver and
cut glass and other gifts more or less
useful is, What lot Of presents she
got? They don't mean anything I'M
kind, but the inference an uninitiated
eavesdropper would draw is that they.

many. OF course they vary the re-

Electricity and Maonetism,

As to what electricity and magnetism
are "in themselves"-that is to say, as
to their real nature-nothing is known.
They are absolute mysteries, battling
the acutest research into their inner
most secrets. But about their modes
Of action it is possible to say some
thing definite. For example, electricity
appears to depend for its action upon
a medium, while magnetism, like grav-
ity, acts at distance and by means Of
no visible go-between. Place two mag
nets in vacuo or even place a solid
plate Of glass or metal or wood be-
tween the magnets and we still find
that their mutual action depends SOLE
ly on their relative position and is not
perceptibly modified by placing any
substance between them unless that
substance happens to be one Of the
magnetic metals.-New York American.

St, AUGUSTINE and His Flower

st. Augustine Of Hippo, the great
doctor Of the church, whose festival
falls on Aug. %, Is sadly neglected
saint among modern rltualists and even
occasionally confused with his name
sake, who insulted the British bishops.
Yet he is pronounced by Hooker with
out any equal" and regarded by Har-
mack as ''the first modern man." He
has been better honored in the floral
world, for to him is dedicated the
goldenrod. or woundwort (solidago vir-
ga-aurea). Old Gerard, with whom
this was a favorite remedy, tells us
that goldenrod fetched high price as
a foreign herb until discovered grow
ing near London, when the plant was
neglected. He adds the caustic COM
ment, "This verifeth our English prov
erb, Far fetcht and dear boughte Is
best for ladies' or for fantastical ply
sitions." Before tobacco the golden
rod also furnished snuff for our medi-
aeval forefathers. - Westminster Ga

1t Did Not Work.

Mr.. Seabury and his wife were on
the point of moving to another fiat.
Both Of them were anxious that tho
transfer should be made at the least
possible expense, and the nearness Of
the new home promised materially to
further this aim.
Il can carry loads Of little things

Mrs. seabury, land you can take
books and so on in your big satchel."
In discussing further the matter of
transportation Mrs. Seabury remarked
that Notwithstanding the heat she
could wear her winter coat over, leave
1t and return for her spring coat. The
idea charmed her impractical husband.
"Why, I can do the same thingv' he
said. "I'll wear over one suit and
then come back for another!"- Youths

contributed supplies, thus enabling all

wealthy gentleman in the city, but one
not famous for parting" To her SUR
prise she received next day a note to
the effect that he was sending her a
sirloin Of beef and two OK tongues.

the butcher Of Mr.. Ky, and, after CIV

HThe lioht That Failed

A wealthy R1verina sQuatter, now
departed, as he used to phrase 1t, ITO
the great muster" was, noted almost
as much for his Attic wit as for his
parsimony. He also suffered very
badly and helped along his halting ut
terance with frequent ejaculation Of
"D'ye see? Dye seeY His niggardly
traits gained him widespread local I'M
popularity and the bitter enmlty Of
landowners, who were always vigor-
ously refused rations at his stations.
Smarting under this unusual inhos-
pitality, some disappointed swaggerers
once set fire to one Of the sQuatter's
wool sheds and then wrote upon a
gate: "We've we'll burnt down your
wool shed. Dye see? Dye seer"
OF course it caught the big mans
eye when next he passed through. For
moment he contemplated the an
nouncement and then with sardonic
grin took the stump Of blue pencil
from his pocket and scrubbed under
meath: TT was we'll insured. Dye see?
Dye see?"--London Standard.

Tommy had been spanked by Miss
Manners, his first grade teacher, but
his next teacher had not reached the
point where she felt she could do JUS
tice to him In spite Of all his naughti-
ness.
"send him to me when you want
him spanked" said Miss Manners one
morning after her colleague had re-
lated his many misdemeanors.
About II o'clock Tommy appeared
at Miss Manners door. She dropped
her book, grasped him firmly by the
hand, led him to the dressing room,
turned him over her knee and admins
tered punishment.
When she had finished she said,
"Now, Tommy, what have you to sayY'

Had Been Anticipated.

A London composer was one summer
engaged on the score Of an opera, and
as the weather was very hot he
worked with the windows Of his study
open. This fact was taken advantage
Of by his neighbour, lady, an accom-.

and retentive ear, to play upon him q
harmless practical joke
One morning he completed and tried
over a. new march, and the lady on the
same afternoon seated herself at her
grand piano, opened her windows and
rolled forth the air fortissimo. The
composer rushed distractedly into his
garden to his wife and, tearing his
hair in anguish, cried out:

What the Peruvians Believed,

A unique idea of the future state
was that of the ancient Peruvians,
AS the disembodied soul winged its
way to eternity it encountered two
rocks, upon one of which it must
needs rest. The choice was deter
mined by the morality of the life in
the flesh. If it rested upon the left
hand rock it was instantly translated
to "Po," or oblivion, state analogous
to the Nirvana Of the orient. If
through early misdeeds, however, the
unhappy spirit was guided to the right
hand rock it entered into a purga-
torial hell where f1ends grated away
the flesh from all the bones in sue
cession, after which the skeleton was
reclothed and sent back to earth fol-
another Try. There was no haste
about this grating process. It took
something over 10000 years.

related chiefly to Thaw's acts during
childhood, particularly his fits of pas

Mrs. William c. Thaw, who sat be.
hind her son, seemed about to lose
control of herself. Her face flushed
and she used her palm leaf fan to hide
the twitching of her lips. Her testi-
mony presented Thaw as a victim of
extreme nervousness from birth.

the district attorney, selected first
those portions which. referred to her
husbands actions when she told him
OF her treatment by White, especially
his wild sobbing. He read also her
story Of Thaw's alleged attempt to kill
himself with laudanum at a hotel in

England's Mother Church.

The oldest frequented church In
England is probably st. Martins, at
Canterbury, and you may call It the
mother church Of England. Walk up
from the outskirts of the city and you
will pass the font which gave baptism
to King Ethelbert 1900 years ago. The
font still stands, the worshipers still
mount the slope, and one considers
whether It was Augustine or Bertha
who dragged the king and husband to
that font.-London Chronicle.
