ONEsMAN'S LIFETIME.

How much history can be made in
single lifetime is demonstrated by
the death of a man a few days ago
who was little more than a hun
dred years old. At the time of. this
mans birth, Thomas Jefferson was
President, Lincoln and the Presidents
who succeeded him had not been
born. The United States had 7,000,-
600 population. Spain had twice as
many, Germany and Austria had each
four times, and France five times our
number. There was neither kerosene
oil nor gas. matches and cooking
stoves were unknown. There was
not mile Of telegraph nor railroad
in the world. the wages of skilled me-
chanics ranged from fifty cetns to a
dollar a day. Postage stamps were
unknown, the regular charge for a
letter was twenty-five cents, and
for over three-fourths of the fruits
and vegetables now used were un-
known in America.-St Louis Chris
tian Advocate
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1911-05-18
THE EXPLOSIVE.

The fairy story of large and
powerful genie confined in a small
jar is no more wonderful than is
the true story of a bit of powder
packed in a cartridge; when the
powder is exploded it propels the
bullet far and with terrific speed. A
Chinaman first discovered the power
of explosives when he invented gun
powder, and it has proved to be the
greatest of all the forces that have
changed the maps of Nations. Ex-
plosives so powerful have been dis
covered now that no gun can be
made strong enough to be discharg-
ed more than comparatively small
number of times; and there are ma
chine guns, submarine mines and
torpedoes-engines of destruction so
powerful that no battle either on
land or sea could last more than a
few hours. Indeed, it is predicted
that soon no two nations will dare
to go to war, so terrible would be
the consequences to themselves and
to the rest of the world.
While explosives are needed less
and less for war than formerly, they
are used more and more in the vic
tories of peace. When the genie
was let out of the jar he built great
palaces for his master and trans
ported him great distances by land,
by sea, and in the air; and that is
just what the Giant Explosive is do
ing to-day for man, his master. The
power of dynamite is blasting rock
for the foundations of sky-scrapers
and bridge piers. and boring tun-
nels through the solid mountains;
while gasoline, the new explosive, is
used for transportation, in automo-
biles on land, in motor boats in the
water, and in aeroplanes in the air;
thus finally accomplishing the dream
that man has cherished for centur-
ies-the- marvel of human flight

GIVING THANKS.

i little strength was lost each day,
A little hope dropped by the way.
The feet dragged slowly up The road.
The shoulders bent beneath their
load,
Courage seemed dying IN the heart,
The will played but q feeble part
Night brought no ease.
Day no surcease.
From heavy cares or wearyIng smart.
Then why give thanks?
Somehow strength lasted through
the day,
Hope Joined with courage in the
way;
The feet still kept the uphill road.
The shoulders did not drop their
load.
An unseen Power sustained the heart
When flesh and will failed in their
part.
While God gave light
By day and night,
And also grace to bear the smart.
For this give thanks
Thanks for the daily bread which
feeds
The body's wants, the spirits needs;
Thanks for the keen, the quick ming
word,
He only lives who lives in Cod"
Whether his time on earth Is spent
In lordly house or labor's tent.
Thanks for the light
BY day and night,
Which shows the way the Master
went
And he gave thanks.

WHENCE 1T COMES.

The origin of many women's hair
is a mystery which the rude mascu-
inc mind will do we'll not to seek to
unveil," says a writer in The British
Medical Journal.
Where do the hairdressers get
the glorious locks with which they
decorate their windows?" he asks,
and proceeds to answer his own
question.
BLACK hair, it may be conject-
ured, comes from the South. Light
hair comes mostly from Germany.
The color most in demand changes
with the fashion at given time.
"a fashion, which we can only
characterize as disgusting, seems to
prevail at present in certain places.
This is the wearing Of rats, struc-
lures of which we confess we know
nothing, but which We presume to be
intended to be decorative.
"They are, it seems, made some
times of wire, sometimes Of human
hair, sometimes of fax, or other veg
etable which presents a more or less
close likeness to human hair.
''In connection with this matter,
we touch darker mysteries than
those of the French or German hair
markets. We have recently seen it
stated that the hair dealers Of Can
ton, from whom large supplies of
black hair are received for the manu-
facture of rats have been discover
ed exhuming corpses for the sake of
the pigtails.
1.-THE Chinese Government is said
to be taking steps to stop this new
kind of burking. We trust it will be
successful in it's efforts. for the traffic
in dead hair is dangerous from a
hygienic as it is hideous from an es-
thetic point Of view.
But what will not the devotees
of fashion risk in the pursuit of their
crazy cult? The trade in human
teeth used to be highly profitable
and Bransby Cooper, in his biogra-
ply of his famous uncle, gives an &C.
count of resurrection men who fol.
lowed the troops in the Peninsula tc
get the teeth of the fallen soldiers
for which they got high prices In
London"

THE SECRETARY BIRD.

One of the most interesting birds,
in both appearance and habits, is
the secretary-bird from the dry and
open parts of central and southern
Africa. The male is fully four feet
high, the greater part of that length
being contributed by his neck and
legs" The general color is ashy-
gray, the breast white, the wings,
thighs, and abdomen black. The mid
die tail-feathers nearly reach the
ground, and on each side of the head
are two long black tufts which give
the bird its popular name of secre-
tary, because, in the days when quill
pens were used, writer's were in the
habit Of carrying them stuck over
their ears.
The birds food consists of snakes
rats, lizards, and other living ami.
mails, which it kills with it's feet, and
swallows whole, unless too big, when
the beak tears them to pieces. Wher
ready to kill, the bird lifts either lee
as may be convenient, and brings
down the foot in terrific blow like
that of a great hammer, usually
striking the victim on the head. Il
the first blow fails to kill, the bird
follows it with others in rapid success
sion.
When the dead animal is too big tt
be swallowed whole, the bird, Selling
the head in his beak, holds the body
down under his foot and stretche:
and pulls it until its fexibility pleases
him. when he swallows it, general,
head first.
