UNDERGROUND RIVERS.

There are comparatively few riv- CTS of any size or importance in Australia, and a learned professor of science has been explaining the req son. In consequence of the geolog- ical formation of the commonwealth, most of its rivers are at present im- prisoned subterranean streams.
 He declares that one of these un- derground rivers is the largest in the world, being no less than 200 miles wi7 nd running right through the cen # the continent. If these vast supplies of subterranean waters were brought to the surface and properly utilized Australia would become the richest country in the world.

AUTO DRIVEN BY AIR.

Consul General William H. Mi- chael of Calcutta reports that ex- periments are being made in that city with an air-propeller petrol driven car.
 The secret of the mechanism lies in the pattern of the propeller. A speed of 15 miles an hour has been attained on Calcutta roads with fve-horsepower engine. The ab- sence of wear on the tires Is most marked, and the motion is perfectly smooth.
 At present the invention is just passing out of the experimental stage, but it is anticipated that it will shortly be possible to place cars on the market

KNOW ART OF CONVERSATION
Leisurely and Genial Social Inter course One of the Charms Of
 Southern Life.

The north may think it knows something of conversation, but the north, as compared with the south, may be said never to have enjoyed a conversation. About the village courthouse, within the hospitable doors of some central store, in the office of the local daily or weekly pa per, or-above all-in the leisurely and genial intercourse around the freside or on the inviting porch in summer, of friend with friends, there will be heard a conversation which in wit, in the charm and force of its illustrations, and in the direct ness and freedom of its criticism IS not surpassed in American life to- day.
 It is the product of leisure, of a world without haste, without ruth less preoccupations, without those resources of expression and interest which belong to the crowded and overweighted existence of the com- mercial city. It is, moreover, part ot the genius of climate, and soil, and social habit.-The Present South.

BED OF VIPER SKINS.

Few of India's "Rikki Tiki Ta- yies" can have such a record in snake killing as that of Leon Case, known as Pere la Vipere, who kills vipers in the forest of Fontainebleau. He has just been taking a rest after an arduous season, during which he has killed nearly 700 snakes, His aver age for a year is about 500.
 He sleeps on a mattress made of viper skins, and it is said that he has been bitten so many times that he no longer sutfers-he has become in- oculated. Standard.

LAND LONG FORGOTTEN.

Bulgaria is sufficiently in the pub- lie eve just now to compensate her for a total eclipse that lasted for three or four centuries. Between the obliteration of medieval Bulgaria by the conquering Turk and her very modern resurrection she disappeared more completely than Poland ever has. The very name of Bulgaria was remembered only by the learned Sir Charles Eliot points out that in journeying from Belgrade to Con- stantinople in 1884 Kinglake must have passed straight across Bulga- ria. Yet, when describing his trav- els in "Eothen," he makes no allu- sion to the country or its inhabi- tants.

STANDARD TIME IN PERU.

Peru is the first of the South American republics to adopt world time standard. The seyenty-ffth meridian vest of Greenwich has been chosen. This, which is the ba- sis of our eastern standard time, runs through the middle of the re- public only a few minutes of longi- tude east of Lima. Hereafter all timepieces in Peru will coincide with those in the eastern United States. There are said to be few countries more favorably situated geographi- cally than Peru for the use of a standard time meridian.-Youth' Companion.

What Prof. Paisley Said.

Prof. Paisley, formerly the sup erintendent of the Conway high school, a man known and appre- ciated by our people, was here two or three days this week. While here he stepped into our Piano Store to see the line, and the first remark made was: HAMILTON! That's my Piano. Yes, l have one in my home and one in my school" When asked what he thought of the Hamilton, he re- piled that he had tested the Ham, ilton so thoroughly and it had giv- en such perfect satisfaction that If he had to order Twenty Pianos, that all of them would be Hamil- tons. This is only one of hum dreds of just such testimonials which we could give you. The Hamilton is one ot the Pianos which we now have in our store for your inspection, and we know that this is an opportunity for YOU to buy one of the finest pianos madt } t a very reasonable price. As our special sale will last only a few more days, may we urge you t) see our display at once'

THE HEROINE OF 1.-THE KISS"
Famous Beauty Who Once Had Art World at Her Feet Recently
 Died Unmourned.

Carolus Doran made her famous. She was the heroine of "The Kiss" popularized by the engraving She was called Anna Warrington. She was, 40 years ago, the prettiest daughter of England. She con- quered all hearts, even that of Ma poleon III. Believing herself to have some talent for drawing and painting she came to Paris when quite young toward the end of the second empire. All the Latin quar- ter celebrated her charms. She was the inspiration of Lelian. Freely she posed for the young artists. Car olus Duran admired her passion atelv.
 Napoleon H., a little before the war of 1870, met the ravishing mod el and was enamored. When the en- peror was at Chiselhurst in exile, Anna Warrington, who had returned to England before the siege, went to see him and was his faithful friend until his death.
 She took up her pencils and pal lette. She gave lessons and earned some 50 francs a week. She visited Whistler. who had once dreamed of her. but now was married. Years made their ravages. She no longer dared to look into a mirror.
 Each year after 1873, the day fol- lowing All Souls day she went to deposit at the tomb of the emperor q little bouquet of violets
 She died few weeks ago at Chel- sea. Nobody followed her coffin No one laid flower upon her grave.
 One yet sees ''The Kiss every where, but who knows who was the heroine From Le Cri de Paris.

NOT FOR THIS WORLD.

A Philadelphia clergyman was re- gently accosted by an old man to whom he had frequently given as- sistance. On this occasion the bor- rower presented so disreputable an appearance that the minister spoke somewhat sharply about it.
 "You're right, doctor. l really don't look clean or decent. But l can't help it, doctor. Pm simply a poor, miserable, dirty old duffer. I'm not fit for this world, only for the kingdom of Heaven"

 a store that Is not worth advertising

[ A writer with a gift for phrasing once wrote: "If your store is not worth advertis- ing, advertise it for sale.' His phrase runs trippingly, but his logic halts.
 To sell store that is "not worth adver- tisng' would be to defraud the buyer-so that the advice is ethically unsound.
 I Of course there are not many stores that are not worth advertsing-in this city, per haps, none at all. The fact is that no store ever gets to be worth very much-beyond the mere open market value of stock and hx- tures-until it has been adequately advertised. Until then it has exerted no influence as an organization, equipped for useful service to the people. It has simply been place where certain things were kept for sale. I After it has had the breath of life put into it by advertising it becomes store, in the militant sense-intent upon winning friends, upon the problems of growth.
 The dullest store in this city can be re- iuvenated in a month until it finds place in the procession-but ONLY through adverts- ing If however, the store were not 'worth advertising" it would be more coLnlendabie to close up entirely than to try to ''sel'' 1t to somebody else.
