A Word For SUGAR.

Pure candy is good for children. Pure
sugar is good for grown people, OF
course there are exceptions to every
rule. If the doctor prescribes a diet
and orders patient to refrain from
sweets the patient is bound to obey
his adviser. What is the use Of calling
a physician and paying him for sug-
gestions if the latter are treated with
Indifference? People in ordinary health
need not be afraid to crafty an appe-
tite which Graves sweets. Those who
have looked into the matter have been
telling us lately that soldiers on the
march hold out better if they have
rations Of sugar than if their food
omits this useful commodity. A fond
ness for sugar is often a defense
against the temptation to use alcoholic
stimulants. The inebriate does not
care very much about pure SWEETS

COFFEE AND TEA,

The Bean Improves With Age, While
the Leaf Deteriorates.
Coffee beans improve with age. Five
year old coffee is better than the new
crop and fetches a higher price in the
market. In two years coffee will lose
10 per cent in weight, but it will in
crease more than 10 per cent in price,
Coffee should be used quickly after
roasting. If the brown beans appear
oily the oil should be dried off in a
quick, hot oven; otherwise it will un-
dergo a chemical change which will
affect the flavor.
While coffee beans dry with age,
teas absorb moisture even when in
zinc lined chests. Tea likewise de-
teriorates with age. 1t doesn't lose
strength so much as it does it's draw
ing quality, which is another name for
flavor or bouquet. So careful are the
tea packers to insure an entire alb
sence Of moisture from the tea when
being placed In the zinc or lead lined
chests that they have the tea leaves
sun dried and then heated before
packing. The tea goes into the chests
too hot to handle with bare hands and
is sealed up in air tight packages be-
fore it has time to cool and before
the slightest suggestion Of moisture
reaches it.-New York World.

SEARCHlIGHT RAYS.
The Effect When the Beams Penetrate
Foggy Atmosphere.

The Effect When the Beams Penetrate
Foggy Atmosphere.
Nearly everybody is familiar with
the beam Of search1ight and knows
why the beam is visible, while light
itself! cannot be seen unless it strikes
the,eye, its visibility being due to par
ticles in the air which really do reflect
the light to the eye. On a foggy
night, II one will notice, the beam
seems to come abruptly to an end if
the light is pointed upward 1t does
this instead of gradually fading away
into nothing, as it does pointed hori-
zontally on uniformly foggy night.
The thing is rather puzzling to one
first seeing it, but the reason is not far
to seek. Where the end of the beam
seems to be there is the place the fog
ends, for the beam cannot be visible to
us unless there are small particles in
its path. This is of great help to sail
ors in judging Of the state of the
weather, for they can tell exactly how
thick the frog is, or, rather, how deep it
is. They can also tell by throwing the
light horizontally whether the fog is
universal or occurring only in patches,
for if extending to a great distance the
beam gradually gets DINNER and dim
mer, but if in patches the beam is
lighter in patches, and if it goes
through place with no fog at all that
part of the beam is black or invisible.

had told me that if ever wanted any
thing to let the fact be known through
the press. He had never told me to
advertise for a husband, and I had
never dreamed of doing such a thing.
But why not? The only objection to
the plan was that I would doubtless
receive replies from persons with un-
worthy motives. But I was not fool
to fall into a trap.
l wrote my advertisement, but I re-
quired a whole day to make up my
mind to send it. However, in the even
ing l came to a decision and, taking
it to the postofice, mailed it.
l was especially relieved at getting
few if any replies that indicated a
trap. I attributed this to the wording
of my advertisement. I was very care
full to let it be understood that mine
was genuine case and that no one
would be able to impose upon me. I
received a number of answers, but
there was only one that seemed worth
my while to follow up. One letter
came couched in the most respectful
language and bore evidence of perfect
sincerity. The writer said that he in
ferred | was cut off from meeting
members of the opposite sex since nv

small village and the perfect English
in which my advertisement was writ
ten marked me for an educated per-
son. He sympathized with me deeply
for finding it necessary to use such a
businesslike method, but commended
me for adopting it since there appear
ed to be no other at hand.
I replied to the letter-the only one
did reply TON the spirit in which
1t was written, though I said very lit
tie, and that was simply suggesting a
correspondence. I shrank from meet
Ing any one under such circumstances
and never would meet any one with
out first being convinced that he was
a true man. And even then he must
convince me that he had written the
letters had received.
He replied, admonishing me to pro-
coed with the greatest caution and not
on any account to trust either him or
any one else without submission to a
number of tests. He would be perfect
" content to wait for my character to
appear in my letters. He would prefer
that I should appear thus rather than
in the shape of a photograph. He
feared that if he should find me very
attractive looking he might be unduly
prejudiced in my favor and If I lacked
beauty he might not be impressed with
my evidences Of character.

The Aqe of Linen,

1t is highly probable that the manu-
facture of linens is of greater an
tiquity than that of silk. Archaeol-
ogists generally admit that the mum
my cloth of the most ancient dynas-
ties was variety of finest linen. The
Egyptian and Jewish priests wore it
at all their ceremonies. We find men
ton of fine linens all through the Old
and New Testaments. When the queen
of Sheba visited Solomon she was hab.
tied in linen. In Revelation the an.
gels are clothed in '.pure and white
linen" Genesis tells us that Pharaoh
arrayed Joseph in vestures of fine
linen. Silk is mentioned in the Bible
only four times.

GOOD ROADS TRAIN
Big Turnout at Points in

The Good Roads Train of the N. @.

crowds met it at the various scheduled
stopping places. The towns along the
line favored with stops were Bridge
port, South Pittsburg. Jasper, Dunlap
and Pikeville, Sequachee and Whit
we'll, other important places, being
omitted.
The train was in charge of Fl. D..

who did the work of introducing the
object of the train to assembled citi-
Zens.
D. Fl. Winslow, United States SUI
perintendent of Road Construction, AS
sisted by w. j. Weir, then took up the
subject matter of good roads. One car
of the train is equipped with models
electrically operated which show the
workings of improved road machinery.
Another car contained a free lecture
room, where stereopticon views were
shown of good and bad roads, and
it was explained at the same time how
the faults could be overcome.
Considerable emphasis was also plac-
ed on the necessity for good schools,
and better farming methods.
The train of four coaches and engine
attracted considerable attention, de-
corated as it was with big banners.
