RESTAURANTS.
They Really Had Their Origin In tho
First French Revolution.

rhey Really Had Their Origin In ths
First French Revolution.
The restaurant Of the present time
had its origin in the first French revo-
tuition. toward the close OF the eight
eenth century. And the reputation or
the French for good cookery ana the
delicacy of taste in eatinsSls we'll as
in producing toothsome dishes and
morsels dates practically from the
same time.
That revolution meant ruin to many
noble families, and their downfall
meant ruin also for their chefs, so
some of the latter hit upon the idea
of opening houses where daintes pre-
pared by their skilled hands could be
obtained. If the experiment succeed
ed the chefs would be as well OH as
when in service. The idea was pleas
ing to the public. the restaurants d'o
a large business, and the proprietors
had no reason to regret the revolution
from a monetary point Of view.
Then it occurred to others that the
people might appreciate being educat-
ed I'D to this fine cookery. and many
books on the culinary art were pub
lished and sold well. One Of the most
noted of these was 1.-THE Gourman Al
manack," which appeared in 1913.

An Open eivsr.

Harold's father was in the habit of
giving 81 Sunday to the church.
This was put in numbered envelope
in the collection plate and the amount
credited to him on the church books.
Mr.. q. was away for the summer and
on his return inclosed his arrears in
the envelope and intrusted 1t to Har-
old to put on the plate. When the lit
tie boy came home from church he
said proudly, II put an awful lot Of
money on the plate this morning
norm anybody else, guess"
You got the envelope there all
right% asked his father carelessly, for
Harold had been almost afraid to car
~ so much money.
"Oh. yes" he said, "but I took the

Fulton and the Clermont.

The first trip Of Robert Fulton up
the Hudson river in the Clermont was
thus described in the American Citi-

A CORRECTION,

Mr.. EDITOR: Having seen a
news item in your paper, which
may convey the wrong idea to some
of your readers, | want to ask the
privile e of correcting the state
ment through the same columns.
The item referred to, states that
several had attended the "Feast of
TIE Passover" at a certain church.
Now, whether the writer did not
know better, or whether it was
written in q spirit of derision, per-
secution or faultfnding | know not 4,
neither does it make any difference.
There are people who believe, or,
at least, claim to believe, that the
church of the Brethern, as a peo-
pie, observe the Jewish Passover.
Now, in order to relieve the
minds of all such we simply ask
them to read their Bibles at Exc
dus xii where they will find what
constituted the Jewish Passover.
Then, by turning to Matt. XVI, II
80, Mark xiy, ~ 26, Luke xxi, Z
80, and John xiii, 1-30, they will
find what we try to observe. 1t
seems that any one, by comparing
these scriptures, should see that
there is a vast difference. Our
Feast is not the same. There was
stated time for the Jewish Pass
over, but no set time for the obser-
vance of the feast we claim to per-
petuate. LIKE xxi, 7, says: "And
lhe day of unleayened bread came
on which the Passover must besac-
rifced," The lamb for the Pass
over WIS to be killed on a certain
day, and it was at the beginning of
that day that Christ instituted the
ordinance laid down in the scrip
lures referred to. Christ leaves
the upper room, goes to the Gar
den of Gethsemane, and is there
betrayed. He is given a mock tri-
al and was crucifed the very day
on which the Passover was killed
by the Jews.
The above is not for the purpose
of controversy, but is given in a
Christian spirit. l want that we
get nearer the true meaning of Gods
Word. A. II. Miller,

MAKING NEEDLES.
Various Processes Through Which the
Steel Wire Must Pass.

Steel wire MUST faeS.
Needles are made from steel wire.
which is first cut by shears from coils
into the length Of the needles to be
made. After a bath Of such bits as
have been cut out they are placed In
fnrnace, then rolled until perfectly
straight. Next the needle pointer
takes up a dozen or SO Of the wires
and rolls them between his thumb and
finger, with their ends on turning
grindstone. first one and then the 9TH
er being ground. The little steel bob
bins are next fed into machine which
fattens and cutters the heads. after
which the eyes are punched.
They nre now complete needles, but
rough and easily bent Careful heat
ing and sudden cooling gives them the
necessary temper, and nothing remains
but to give them their final polish. On
q coarse cloth needles are spread to
the number Of 10000 or $4,000. Emery
dust is strewed over them, oil Is sprin-
killed. on and soft soap daubed over the
cloth, which, rolled tightly, is thrown
into a pot with others, where 1t rolls
about for twelve hours or more.
When taken from this friction bath
the needles require only rinsing In
clean hot water. when they are ready
to be sorted and packed. - Chicago

MODERN BUSINESS.
The Big Jobs Demand Hustlers VINO
Arc Gentlemen.

The Big Jobs Demand HustIers Who
Are Gentlemen.
A notable change has taken place III
American business methods wlthih
the lust decade. Increasingly men OF
large affairs are asking when a young
man is recommended for a big JOB. is
he a gentleman This Is signincaht
In two ways. 1t means that the Dig
business men are themselves gentle
men and like to deal with men VINO
speak their own language and that
American business methods have
grown to be such that the gentleman
has an advantage.
There was a time when a man VINO
was hustler could be cad II he liked
and It did not hurt his chances much.
But that time has passed. The Dig
business men Of today want young
men who are tactful. intelligent, indie
pendent, yet unassuming; who would
know how to talk to a diplomat and
be at home in good club; who could
be trusted to behave kindly, honorably
and discreetly in any situation OF life;
who, in short. have as their ideal the
old. never changing ideal Of the gen.
tleman. Not everybody can define 1t,
but everybody knows 1t at sight.
The gentleman, In short, can work
along the line Of least resistance. and
that is why he Is wanted.-Bookkeeper.

Vessels That Failed.

There was a time when 1t was be-
lieved possible to prevent seasickness
by means Of specially constructed YES
sells, says the London Chronicle, The
Calais-Douvres, twin ship, was used
on the channel service for many years.
Great things were expected from this,
but she proved a slow boat, and her
passengers were by no mans immune
from seasickness. Another attempt in
this direction was the Castalia. IN
which the saloon was suspended like
a hammock with view to minimizing
the pitching and rolling. This turned
out an utter failure. If the rolling
was less than In ordinary vessels the
pitching was quite as bad and, more
over, the swinging mechanism occa-
sionally stuck. After very few trips
across the channel the Castalia was
taken of the service.

There is more than 81 900 in the
United States Treasury placed to
the credit of the late David B. Hill
awaiting the action of the execu.
tors of the estate of the deceased
statesman.
1t is doubtful whether the exec
utors will get the money, as the
Senator himself refused to accept
it, but it is on the Governments
books as belonging to him none the
less.
The amount was placed to his
credit as salary as a Senator, dat
ing from his election. He did not
resign his position as Governor,
however, until some time afterward
and on the ground that he could
not receive two salaries, refused
the money.

CYCLONE FORMATION.

The Mechanical Laws Are the Same
as In Whirlpool.
ANY one can make the exact counter
part of cyclone If he so desires. Of
course a cyclone is caused by the air
over a big area getting warm and
light with small pressure. This air
consequently tries to rise almost In a
body and leaves a partial vacuum be-
hind, but the outside cold air rushes
In from all sides. Now. 1t is a scien-
tific and mechanical truth that when q
fluid runs in from all sides toward a
central point 1t causes whirlpool or
rotation Of the fluid The exact anal
ogy Of a cyclone, then, although with
the fluid water instead of air, is seen
when the stopper is pulled out Of the
bottom Of a basin full Of water. An
almost perfect vacuum, as far as the
water is concerned, is caused by the
water Immediately over the stopper
running out The rest Of the water
whirlpool is the result There is one
difference here from the afr cyclone.
In the air the force with which 1t
rushes toward the center greatly COM
presses the air whirling at that point
and makes 1t very dense-so dense, In
fact, that a straw carried in the cen
trail whirl can be driven into a big
block Of wood without bending. OF
course in a whirlpool the water is not
compressed. remaining practically the
same In density ali the time. That
is one highly important property Of
water; 1t Is practically incompressible.
Nevertheless It is very interesting to
see the whirl form IN basin and
know that the mechanical laws are
the same as In the formation Of cy-
clone many miles wide.-Harper's
Weekly.

On a well-made gravel road one
horse can draw twice as large a load
as he can on a well-mode earth
road. On a hard smoothe stone
road one horse can pull as much as
four horses will on q good earth
road, On the u.acadamized roads
in Mecklenburg county, n. c., two
mule. haul ten bales of cotton In
any weather, where formerly on
earth roads, two bales made good
load for two mules in fairly good
weather = Elk.
No matter from what viewpoint
the subject of good roads is consld-
cred, the argument is all in favor
of the movement, and is unanswer-
able. In fact, the matter is no
longer discussed with view to con-
verting men to or convincing them
of this truth, bus to arrive at the
best methods and systems for the
respective counties, material and
means considered. In some sec
tons large bond issues are made
and the work is taken up on an ex-
tensive scale; in others this is not
deemed advisable, and the ques-
ton of getting the funds we'll ap-
piled and all applied is just as i'm
portant.
One has only to read the ex-
change list and observe the topic OF
conversations nowadays to learn
that this is a live issue and burn
ing question. Argument is not
wanted to prove that good roads
mean something to the farmer just
as good farms do, and he is ready
to admit that what he saves in
time and expenditure ofhorse-hesh'
vehicles, etc., may be applied and
expended on the farm and along
other paying lines.
To the defects in our system is
due no end of protest and bowling,
and it should continue and grow
until some other is tried or adopt
ed. Even where contractors work
out the full amount of their pay
earn their money, in a way-the
people get poor return, for the
work is not permanent. AS we
have said before, the method is very
often money spent to no purpose
whatever, because there is no per-
manence there. We simply clean
out the side bitches, throwing the
mud or sand into the road-bed to
be mixed into slush and batter,
washed back to the bitches and,
next year, shoveled or scraped into
the road again. Surely every man
can see the folly of such system,
hence the plan of depending upon
or using nearby material, when it
is absolutely unfit, ough to be
abandoned. No matter how hard
the contractor may work or how
much of his "per mile" he may
earn, the taxpayer is getting no
return for his money, because we
can't make a road out of sand and
mud. Better quit trying and leave
the money in the treasury until we
hit upon a better plan.
AS stated above, this is present.

ing question, and we offer space in
