length that he had always worn out
his undergarments, because he always
squirmed around so when he was sit

one of the garments over pillow to

1t was the most humiliating moment
of my life, but there was no escape. |

went away to find something else for
me to do when that was finished, and
sat with the thing on my knee and
stared at it, while rebellious tears roll
ed down my cheeks. The patch was
not the shape of the hole at all, and
every time | took a stitch l sewed 1t
fast to the pillow beneath. 1t was ter
rible. Jim came up after while and
sat down across from me and watch

proper to say to me. We had both
reached the point where adequate
language failed us. Finally he said:

He sat very still for five minutes,
when l discovered that l had put the
patch in crosswise instead of length

jerked it out he sneeZed.
"Or sneeze," l added venomously.

the edges of the hole like the neck OF

Local Story With General Applica-
tion.-A party of young business men
were listening to one Of their number
who was running down Charlotte. TINS
is such an unusual thing for an inhab-
liant of the Queen City to do that the
others sat in stupified silence for
awhile. The speaker had just pro-
claimed that Charlotte was nothing
but a lot of hot air when he was check
ed by one on this fashion:
We'll, young man, | beg to inform
YOU that Charlotte has thirty four pas
senger trains daily, and | feel sure no
one will hinder you from buying a
ticket in any direction you may see
fit"
THE trouble is l have to stay here,
declared the knocker i'm a hopeless
tone of voice. -,
why do you have to stay here?
he was asked.
1T Is either stay here or starVe Tor
lack of a job" he muttered bitterly.
The gentleman wondered at the
laughter which greeted his remark. l
fear he would never make an inter
collegiate debater. To run down the
opportunities of a town and then admit
i'm the very next breath that he would
starve to death anywhere else!-Char-

The Dairy lndustry.-According to
the last year book Of the department
of agriculture, there are 21.720,000
milch cows in the United States, and
these are worth $702 900. The mag
nitude Of the industry can perhaps be
best understood when 1t Is considered
that these cows produce yearly about
81, 900, 100000 worth Of dairy products.
There is no other branch Of diversi-
fled agriculture so important to the
progress Of community. The fertility
Of the soil can best be maintained by
the liberal use Of barnyard manure
and the dairy herd not only makes
this possible but dairying is also more
remunerative than other branches Of
farming when properly carried on.
Dairying has made much progress
since the advent of the modern cream
cry and the consumer of butter has not
only been benefited by being fur
nished a more wholesome and palata-
bile article of food, but the wife In the
farm home has been relieved of the
drudgery incident to making butter on
the farm. Where formerly the cream
was ripened and churned into butter
under conditions not conducive to fine
quality in the finished product and In
the majority of cases by unskilled
hands, now the most OF the milk or
cream is delivered to modern cream
cry where conditions are suited to the
purpose of making butter, and the re-
suit has been a wonderful improve
ment in the quality of our dairy pro-
ducts AS the quality has improved
consumption has increased and the
progress of dairying has been remark
able during the past decade.
The perpetuity of the countrys
greatness depends upon increasing the
production of farm products from year
to year, a result which not only fur-
nishes our people with food but main
tains the prosperity of our farming
communities Increase in production
can only come through improved
methods Of agriculture and soil I'M
provement. When it is considered that
the dairy COW Is the foundation for SOIL
Improvement and farming prosperity,
her Importance Is best understood, and
interest i'm her should not be confined
to her owner. She is an important
factor i'm the development and pros
perity of our country.-Greenville

A UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.
Boiling and Freezing Water at tho
Same Time.

SaFnC
The possibility Of boiling and freez-
ing water at the same time in the
laboratory Is one Of the most inter-
esting developments of modern
water boils depends simply on the air
pressure above its surface at the time.
If there is high pressure the water
has to be made good deal hotter to
boil than at low pressure.
On the mountains where the air
pressure is a good deal lower than at
sea level water boils easily at low tenn
perature. In cooking vegetables that
where the water boils before that de-
gree Is reached the vegetables Will
not get done. They consequently have
to be put into a closed boiler so that
the generated steam will create
enough pressure for the water to boil
at or beyond the required tempera-
ture. In the experimental proof OF
this fact water Is placed In vessel
anu the dlT eAuduSteu lioih dboNc thS
surface of the water. AS the process
Of pumping goes on the water will
violently boil, the steam congealing
on the sides Of the exhaust vessel. II
the pumping Is continued long
enough and the outside Is cooled be-
low the freezing point Of water the
water will continue to boil and bubble
till 1t is frozen into a snowy mass Of
ice.
This fact is also made use Of in
taking a rough test Of the height Of
mountain. Ordinarily at sea level
where the pressure Is about thirty
inches OF mercury water boils at 212
degrees F. Now, II 1t is noticed that
at a certain place II boils at a few
degrees lower the height Of that place
can be easily ascertained by compari-
son with a table made out for this
purpose. In general for every de-
gree the boiling takes place under 212
a height of about 500 feet is counted.
or course these principles do not
apply to water alone, but are charac-
teristic of all liquids.-New York
Tribune.

CHAPTER XIII.
He Does Not Deny X.

Aunt Selma got up the next morn
ing and Jim told her all the strange
things that had been happening. She
fixed on Flanagan, of course, al
though she still suspected Betty Of her
watch and other valuables. The Incl
dent of the comfort she called nervous
indigestion and bad hours.
She spent the entire day going
through the store-roo and linen clos
cts, and running her fingers over
things of dust. Whenever she found
any she looked at me, drew a long
breath and said Poor James," IT
was maddening. And when she went
through his clothes and found some
buttons off (Jim didn't keep man,
and Takahiro had stopped at his
bOotS) she looked at me quite awfully.

men and this old bear fought, and ev-

There has been more or less diSap-
pointment in some circles over the &C
ton Of Gas stocks and rights during
the past week It is admitted by bank
ers that Gas SIS, a gold bond running
thirteen years longer than Capital Trac-
ton 5's, are just as good as the latter
Gas SIS mature November, 1860; the
Traction IS IN June, 1871 There is not,
nor has there been, any question asstO
the ample security back of both issues,
nor Of the certainty OF increased bust
ness for both Of these utilities.
With this showing Gas IS are selling
on the basis Of 1O7G1071s, while the Trac-
ton SIS are selling at Lee or better.
Why the discrepancy Either one issue
is too high or the other too low, with
lust the possibility that there is a happy
medium between the low Of one and the
high of the other.
Money is close in Washington 1t al
ways is, despite the absence Of manu-
houses. There are buyers FOR the
rights, but some bankers are slow to
loan on the SIS. Not long ago it was a
matter of much difficulty to borrow par
at . per cent on per cents, where to-
day bankers TAX ~ on . s ana o per
cent as the rate Of interest Could it be
possible that some bankers have an eye
on the SIS as choice Investments 1t
could.
Gas stock is back where II was on the
old basis of S2-a-share dividends, but
minus expectations. The latter have
been realized. the stock pays Ga per
cent on the basis of SIS a share, and yet
il has been weak and under pressure
continuously without actually develop
ing any activity This is somewhat IN
keeping with the custom here. After
the payment of a dividend stocks drop
to raise on the approach Of the next
/ dividend period and drop again. II is
probable that there is still some hunt
