Garnet sMoener Too Noisy.


A hardware dealer in town tells a
story about a prim old lady who
came into his store the other day to
purchase a carpet sweeper. She
gazed here and there about the store
as she entered, and finally going up
to the dealer she looked at him quiz
zically over her glasses and asked,
do you keep carpet sweepers?"
Eyes, madam" replied the dealer,
and naming the two kinds which he
had in stock, asked which she de-
sired.
WELL" said the lady, "you may
show me both kinds If you will"
Gust a moment, madam, until !
get them from the rear of the store"
And with that he went to an obscure
corner to take down the carpet sweep
ers from their hooks upon the wall.
It happened that in front of one
of the makes which he desired there
was a lawn mower so hung that he
had to move it. He took it down
from the hook, and as he did so 1t
rolled along the floor with a grinding
rattle.
Before he had time to turn around
he heard the old lady shout from the
front of the store, THAT makes more
noise than my old one, and 1 don't
care to look at It," and so saying she
whisked out of the door, leaving the
dealer to wonder whether the joke
was worth the loss of the SALE

Love in the Home.

Pity was poured upon society
women with childless homes by the
Rev. William Spurgeon, of London,
Eng, who delivered an address on
THE Story of Christmas" before the
Sunday, Evening Club in Orchestra
Hall. says the Chicago Tribune.
After reviewing the story Of "The
Coming of the King" as it was told
in the Dudley Buck cantata of that
name, which was sung by the club
chorus, he dwelt upon the necessity
of child love in a happy home. He
declared the Hindoo theory of the
sanctifeation of the child a beautiful
and a not unnatural result of the
history of Christ. "God gives to man
and to woman His best gifts" he
said, when He gives them little chill
dren. Every child that comes into
our lives is the proof of His love-"
In speaking of the pity he felt for
the childless woman, he said:
Many of them can blame themselves
alone. They do not want children.
They are the women who want a
GOOD time. Is there one. here to-

f'TusSac.'

/ Some of the raiding deputies Of the
division have been busy lately break
ing up ''tussac" stills i'll the Edisto
swamps of Aiken and Orangeburg
counties, S. C. "Tussac" is the name
given to a fiery liquor distilled from
molasses, pine tops and Irish pota-
toes. "Two' drinks and the world is
mine,' but three drinks would put
enough fury into a rabbit to
him to spit in a bull dogs face.
Many people have wondered what
is the meaning of F'tussac" or what
its derivation. The revenue officers
have no chronological dictionary, but
their understanding of the word is
that it is a corruption of "tussock."
The stills from which are produced
the drops of concentrated oil Of
wrath, are little larger than a coffee
pot. In fact, they are portable.
Knowing the vigilance Of the "rev-
enuers," the native takes his little
still in a bateau and rows out into the
swamp. The outfit is set upon some
convenient GOSOOChs eLI1u "hC4 liz IL
icers get wind of the operations the
m~oonshiners travel from tussOck to
tussock until they can find a hiding
place for the still.
More than once samples of 'tus-
sac" captured by dispensary con-
stables have been sent in to be ana
lyzed, and in each instance the APP
paratus has turned up its nose, turn
ed a little pale in the face and given
symptoms of nausea. A billy goat
is said to have broken into the con-
traband room one day and after par
taking of small vial Of tussac,
sent in his resignation to the can
eaters union. It was Cruel and milk
for him thereafter. But they do say
that some folks dring tussac-drink
it and live.

The Old Fashioned Woman.


The old fashioned woman looked
well to the ways of her household.
She was not particularly ambitious
for a career or a calling. She did
not know that she was downtrodden,
o. realize her ig~nominious servitude
to a false assumption of superiority
on the part of the unfair sex. She
found the homage and chivalry Of
mankind delightful and took it at it's
face value. Nor did she trouble her
self about the potential reconstruc-
ton of the family on a new basis of
relationship. She was not struggling
to be recognized as mans equal, for
she found it tacitly admitted on all
sides that she was mans superior.
She felt a deep and rational delight
in various concerns and enterprises,
but these were not of such a nature
as to call for the sacrifice of her first
and nearest interests, which ere
maternal and domestic.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

Deliver Coal in Sacks.

"They do one thing in London bet
ter than it is done in most of our
American Cities" said Judge P. F.
Wightman. :
81 refer to- the delivery of coal in
the residential sections. In London
the law makes it imperative that coal
should be delivered in sacks, a Gus
tom that makes for cleanliness, as
mo dust or dirt is produced in transit
or delivery. It is also greatly more
preferable to unload coal in sacks, so
far as the public comfort is con-
cerned. Over here this unloading
process in narrow streets often causes
such a congestion a. to block the
running of street cars, a thing that
would not be tolerated abroad. The
present way may be a good thing for
the dealer, but the general public
would appreciate a change to the
English style."-Baltimore Ameri

Belgian Children.

This delight in the family life is
characteristic of all Belgians. One
sees in Brussels and Antwerp Mon
sieur promenading in the boulevard
or the bois with a cigar in his mouth,
Madame leaning on his arm, and the
children, hand in hand, walking Sc
dately under the proud eyes Of their
parents.
One finds children in the restau-
rants and children in the music halls.
The pleasures of father and mother
are shared always with the nursery.
To go junketing without the children
would appear to the Belgian not only
selfish but dull. His happiness is the
happiness of his children. He sees
the circus half with his own eyes and
half with theirs. The toyshops and
bookshops in Brussels tell of the par
amount part played by the child.
The happiness of this people is the
pleasure of Observation-Disclosures

PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES

It's easy enough to recognize the
symptoms Of poor paint, after it has
been OIL awhile-after its inherent
tendency to crack and peel and scale
and blister, etc., has developed into
trouble. You know these paint dis
eases" usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials.
And you know the only remedy Is re-
painting.
A little knowledge of paint and
painting requirements, and how to
make sure Of the purity and quality
of materials, would prevent all trou-
BILE, and save the big extra expense of
re-painting; just as a proper knowl-
edge Of simple health-laws, and OBJ
servance of them, prevents sickness.

ing a book of color schemes, specif-
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
~tefation in paint materials, with d.
rections for using it, can be had free

Costly Hats Next Season.

Rumors Of new hats are in the
air, and the news from the other side
is staggering. Those who ought to
know say the price of hats will run
high, for lace and genuine ornaments
are demanded. Cooked hats enlarged
r among the novelties, and they
must be built of lace, genuine French
Mechlin or Venetian, crown and all.
The trimmings permitted are big
knobs OF gold studded with gems and
perhaps one spray of silk flowers.
such a hat might cost a thousand
dollars, according to the lace used
and the style of the gold knobs.
Flowers are to reign, say the Paris
seers, and away with plumes, al
grettes and the sweeping tails of
heavenly birds. Toques will be made

Home Training.

Our old home culture, and, worse
still, the old home pieties, are dis
appearing. The church and Sunday
school have not kept pace with mod
ern- pedagogy, and are losing their
hold on society at large. In the in
crease of hoodlumism, divorce, child
labor, luxury, and extravaganza,
there is a relaxation of moral muscle,
and in distress we are turning to the
schools to stem the tide of moral in
suficiency. President Eliot said
spend more money for education;
but it is a mistake. We cannot trans
fer the duties of the home or of the
church tc the school. In his social
environment, in the time he spends
out of school, the child gets more ed
ucation or miseducation than he gets
in it. We have to come back to the
old idea of having the parents purge
out the moral NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
cssary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was
supposed to require meat two or
three times a day. Science has found
out differently.
1t Is now a common thing for the
family physician to order less meat,
as in the following letter from a N.
Y. man:
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. Ny physt-
clan advised nae to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. l tried sew
era1 things to take the place Of my
usual breakfast of chops, fried pota-
toes, ETC., but got no relief until 1
tried GraPe-Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two
years, ! am now a we'll man. Grape
Nuts benefited my health far more
than the $5Oe.Oe worth of medicine
had taken before.
my wife and children are health
Ter than they had been for years, and
we are a very happy family, largely
due to Grape-Nuts.

beat the woman by one minute, only
because she wasn't up to some of the

they didn't do their duty in discour-

pAER1EE 10 DIAMOND MA1zING
Dissolving Carbon in Liquid-Melt-
ing 1t by Intense Heat.

Dissolving Carbon in Liquid-Melt-
ing 1t by Intense Heat.
Diamonds are the only gems con-
sisting of one and but n element.
This apparent simplicity has not only
attracted artificial production but
has also been the insuperable barrier
which has hindered success. Arti-
fetal diamonds certainly have been
made, but on such a small scale that
they have been practically useless.
BY the term artificial is not meant
glass or paste imitation, but the real
substance, so made by chemical art
that the product is the same in every
respect as that made by nature. Diff
ferent workers have employed differ
ent methods and with varying sue
cess.
In 1853 the method of Despretz
consisted of depositing carbon by the
disruptiYe action of the electric
spark in a large vacuum tube.2 The
carbon was deposited on platinum
wires and the deposit when viewed
under the microscope had certain re-
markable features.
AL the 0nuS OIL INC wires SOME
points were seen which experts pro-
nounced to be oetahedral crystals,
the form in which nature gives us
tae diamond. In color they were
black and white. Tested upon hard
stones the substance polished a ruby.
AS a diamond is the only substance
that polisnes ruby the deposit was
pronounced to be the powder of the
diamond.
Next came a diamond made by dis
solving carbon in liquid. Sugar or
salt dissolved in liquid leaves the
crystos of sugar or salt behind when
the liquid has evaporated. Similarly
if we could dissolve carbon either as
charcoal or lampblack and by the
evaporation of the liquid allow the
dissolved carbon to separate out it
would probably c~rystalize into the
lustrous form of a diamond.
Numerous experiments produced a
crystalline mass, diamond, but in the
form of sand. Sir Andrew Noble has
secured a temperature of $500 de-
grees centigrade. The temperature
melted carbon. On analyzing the
carbon minute diamonds we're found
in it.-Chicago Tribune.
