sTYMIE is DOOMED.

Smoking In Berlin Streets,

Before May %, 1882, no smoking
was allowed in the streets or parks Of
Berlin. and offenders were punished
by a fine for the first %infraction Of the
rule and by Imprisonment afterward.
The king Of Prussia in those days de-
tested smoking. and the police and the
military men were under strict orders
to arrest any one who dared to smoke
in public. 1t is recorded that when
Napoleon occupied Berlin a hundred
years e the Berliners eagerly took
advantage of the opportunity to smoke
and took a special delight in putting
smoke in the faces of the police, who
had then no power to arrest them. In
1889, however, the restriction was
withdrawn.

Oriqin of Blackboard,

Solutions and lower servants of the
English court. who were clothed in
sable garments, were originally called
blackguards. Gihbon informs us that
"those who carried Goals to the kitch-
en- or rode with the pots and pans
were in derision called the black
guards" y proclamation issued in
England in 1858 officially recognized
the title by applying it to "a sort Of
vicious. idle and masterless boys and
rogues. commonly called the black
guard, with divers other loose fell
lows"

TRoTTER UHLAN is PAR
TlCuLAR PIECE OF
HORSEFLESH.

Uhlan. the worlds champion
trotter, is a mighty particular
piece of horsetlesh when it
comes to drinking water. Not
so very long ago Tom Logan,
who is proud of being Uhlan's
valet, hit upon the plan Of fur
nishing Uhlan with spring water
to drink. Tom figured he would
give the gelding a treat for a
few days, but he had no inten-
lions Of continuing the practice.
When Logan tried to change
from spring water to the old "a
riety for Chlan there was moth
ing doing. The star performer
positively refused to drink.
That's why Logan makes a five
mile trip on a motorcycle every
morning to provide Uhlan with
spring water to drink.

is always some one bunged up before
his fights are finished. He backed
Papke all around the ring in the re-
cent fight. He forced the fighting and
never refused to mix. If Papke had
been willing to mix he would have had
company, for the sailor was there with
the heart Of a lion and ready to stand
toe to toe for'the limit.
Burke is one pugilist who is always
in condition. You never see him slop-
ping in the brew around cafes, as many
other fighters do. He never squeals
about lack of condition as others do.
Fighting is his business, and he is ex-
pected to be in shape. He always is.

Wireless on all Steamships.
New York World. }

1t is barely five years since the
wireless telegraph passed out OF the
experimental stage and was univer-
sally recognized as practical means
OF long distance communication.
By July l every ocean-going steamer
leaving an American port that car
ries fifty persons, including passen-
gers and crew, by law must be equip
ped with a wireless-telegraph outfit
capable OF sending messages one
hundred miles.
Nothing more important has been
done in many years to increase the
safety of travelling at sea than the
general installation of wireless. I'm
der the new system not only will
every steam ship be provided with
better methods OF self protection,
but it will be a means Of protection
for other ships. The quickness with
which relief arrived from different
quarters at the time of the collision
that resulted in the sinking of the
Republic demonstrated once for all
how hereafter the ocean is to be dot
ted with life-saving stations.
Other uses OF the wireless at sea
are to be regarded as q convenience
for passengers and owners that could
be dispensed with without great loss.
The compulsory adoption of it by
all passenger-carrying steamships
has now become almost as much OF
safeguard against disaster as a
proper equipment OF life-boats.

When you use a grade or scrub sire
you are breeding for the worst there is

run down a herd Of domestic animals
than to use low grade herd header
Azoturia comes from overlooking
idle horses. Save feed and horses, too,
by reducing the ration when they are
not working.
If your sheep get scabs better clean
them all out and begin over. 1t is the
best way to cure disease.
Speltz makes very good hog feed
when ground, and some folks soak it
for feeding. 1t has nearly the same
feeding value as wheat

The Telephone is a Builder.

1t is matter OF peculiar gratlfi-
cation, because it can be viewed from
standpoint of business develop
ment and commercial progress before
convenience in a personal way, to
note that the rural sections OF the
South are fast being covered by a
net work OF telephones. The free
rural mail service has done much to
develop the country. but the tele-
phone, in our opinion, will do Just as
much. The farmer can send and get
business letter with quick dispatch
and his family can indulge in person
al correspondence and all can enjoy
the daily papers as the outcome OF
the rural mail service, but the tele-
phone will be of just as much benefit.
In fact, the telephone will be OF great
or benefit in cases ofemergency. Over
the phone can be closed important
business deals when delay might
mean failure and in cases of serious
illness a physician can be summoned
in time. Rush orders from the near
by cities can be sent and reply OBJ
tanned at the same time and the far
mer's bank in town can be almost
instantly communicated with. So
thus it goes, with not only the far
mers, but the business and probes
sional men of the city are also being
benefited. 1t keeps the town and
country in close touch with each
other, too, and is doing q giant
amount of work for the development
OF the South. Every farmer should
have a telephone and the business
men of a town should lend encour-
Hgement towards that end.

North Carolina Makes Good Show
ing.

The Congressional directory, which
gives the biographies of Congressman
and much information pertaining to
them personally, made its appearance
for the first time since the orga nization
of the new Congress There is much in
teresting information in this publica-
ton 1t discloses the fact that Missis-
sippi has larger representation in the
Senate than any other State.
There are six United States Senate rs
born in Mississippi. These are John
Sharp Williams and Leroy Percy, who
represent the State at the present. time,
in addition to Senator Clark, of Arkan-
ras; Chamberlain, OF Oregon; Bailey, of
Texas, and Gore, OF Oklahoma. Ken
lucky is second with five Senators, while
North Carolina takes rank OF fourth,
having four members of the Senate who
were born within her borders Senator
Johnson, of Alabama, and Dixon, of
Montana, in addition to Senate rs Over
man and Simmons, were born in North
Carolina. There are only two States in
the Union with larger representation
in the Senate than the Old North State
Over in the House there is only one
native born North Carolinian outside of
the State delegation. That man hap
pens to be former Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon. All OF the members of the
State delegation were born in Carolina
with the exception OF Representative
Pou, whose birth place is Tuskegee,

The Indians Signature.
Charlotte Chronicle }

The Commercial National Bank,
which pays out money to all sorts OF
people, has received new instructions
as to how to make the Red Man
make good in signing checks or re-
ceipts if he cannot write. The usual
CHS Y mark will not do. He must
smear the ball of his thumb with ink
and make an imprint with it on the
paper as his signature. 1t must be
made with the right thumb--or left
in case of loss of right. What is to
be done in case of loss of both thumbs
is not indicated, but we suppose the
bank could bring his big toes into
requisition. This imprint" it is
directed, must be clear and distinct,
showing the central whorl and stria-
tions, and such thumb-mark sigma
ture must be witnessed by an en-
ployee of the Office, or by one of the
leading members of the tribe" From
the fact that the government has
found it necessary to resort to the
thumb-mark, the most infallible
means of Identification known, it is
to be inferred that the noble Red
Man has been doing some repeating
in the matter of pension money.

when the first effort was made to
work convicts on the roads, grading

Two Immortal Documents Show
the Rayages of Time.

A late press dispatch from Wash.
ington says that the sacred relics Of
enduring popular government, the
original Declaration of Indepen-
dence and Constitution OF the United
States, which for nearly a decade
have been locked up in the archives
OF the State Department, have just
been personally inspected by Secre-
tary Knox, who, during his tenure oil
office, is charged with their preserva-
ton through posterity. Their expos
ure forcibly revealed to the Secre-
tary that the safe in which they are
kept is neither water nor fireprOOf.
Although without available funds,
he Immediately issued instructions
that all estimate be made of the cost
of a receptacle which would make
the historic Instruments absolutely
secure against destruction
Both documents have been OBJ
>cured from public gaz. since 1902
in order to save them from the spoil
alton OF sunlight, from accident or
vandalism. When uncovered the im-
mortal Declaration displayed the
ravages Of time and the disastrous
effects of press-copying to which it
was submitted in 1852, and from
which all fac-similes have been made.
Nea'ly all the signatures have faded
away, even the famous scroll of John
Hancock being only vaguely and in
completely visible. The dimmed text,
however, is readable in it's entirety.
The condition of the Declaration is
ascribed by officials more to the
press-copying than the wear of years.
The Constitution, which has never
been press-copied, is in almost per-
feet shape.
A Encouragement Of the Depart
ment's library afforded the Secretary
an opportunity to view the relics.
They were returned to the safe and
Mr.. Knox announced that for the
sake OF their preservation, there
would be no change in the policy OF
locking them up from public exhibit
ton.

The Thing Wouldn't Work.

Where nature makes one original
genius like Sam Jones, art makes a
dozen imitators who offend the pro-
prieties by aping him. Sam Jones
said things in the pulpit that nobody
could say but Sam Jones-it was the
spirit in which he said it that made
it understood and enjoyed. A law
yer was talking along this line not
long ago and told of a colored par
son who thought to work the Sam
Jones racket. Warming up to his
subject he called deacon a fop-ear-
ed hound, and referred to some of
the sisters as old cats, with the re-
suit that he was chased for mile
and escaped in the tall timber.
There's nothing like being natural.
