farther, and the line broke. A very
heavy weight has to be used on ac-
count Of the depth, and when divers
are sent down in the springs, as they
have been recently, they report the
same great jagged hole, which, so far
as they can find out, Is without bot
tom. The spring is supposed to be
the principal outlet of that beautiful
Lake Butler which lies just a mile
east of the town. Tidewater comes up
into the spring, and 1t has acquired
the name because it was the play.

Pa,ernansm IN Groceries.

Paternalism with vengeance Is prac-
ticed In certain New York groceries.
1t Is benevolent paternalism, though.
"Ma wants two pounds OF sugar"
said child TO patriarch In the trade
He consulted calendar on the wall.
Il guess you'd better take only a
pound today" he said. "and so kind OF
slow on that. The week IS only half
gone, but you have already eaten up
three-fourths of your allowance. Tell
your mother So"
The child promised to deliver the re-
port on financial depression.
THAT is the only way on earth TO
keep those people from running into
debt said the grocer. "The system
Is common in this neighborhood. l do
1t at the customers request. Every
pay day women with spendthrift hus-
bands and an extrayagant disposition
of their own deposit enough money
with the grocer and butcher TO see the

ira food is actually needed we stick to
our end of the bargain. New York

rhex Insisted on nrevity.

The Spartans We're distinguished for
the brevlty and conciseness Of their
speech. On one occasion during n ter
rible famine the inhabitants Of an Is
land in the Aegean sea sent an am
bassador to Sparta, who made a
speech imploring its aid. He had
hardly finished before the Spartans
sent him back these words, 1--WE did
not understand the end Of your speech
and have forgotten the beginning
The poor, starving people chose an
other spokesman and impressed upon
him to make his request as brief as
possible. He therefore took with him
a quantity Of sacks, opened one be-
fore the assembly and said simply,
at is empty; I'LL It."
The sack was filed as well as the
others, but the chief Of the assembly
said as he dismissed the ambassador,
loaded with meal: 1T wasn't neces-
sary to inform us that the sack was
empty. We saw It ourselves. Neither
was It necessary to request us to I'LL
II. We should have done II on our
own account. Be less long winded

General s.,.,. unllah..d Cigars.

General William b. Bate Of Tennes-

then United States senator. His brav-
cry In battle was attested by dozen
wounds, and In single engagement
three horses were shot from under
him.
at was a habit of the old warrior"
said a man who knew him well, ito
continually carry an unlighted cigar
In his mouth, but few Of those who
noticed 1t ever knew the reason Of his
failure to smoke the weed. At the
battle Of Shiloh he and brother were
standing side by side when the broth
er asked General Bate for light, as
he had cigar but no match. The
general lit a match and handed 1t to
his kinsman, who had scarcely applied
It to the tobacco ere cannon ball
came hurtling through the air and
severed the smokers head from his
body. The terrible tragedy Of Shiloh's
bloody field was why In all the years
that followed the surviving brother
was never known TO light cigar"

For Testinu Gold,

The acid used by jewelers. for testing
gold is extremely powerful and has to
be very carefully handled. To pre-
vent any considerable quantity Of the
acid being spilled specially construct
ed bottle is employed. The stopper Of
this is made of glass and contains a
long pointed glass rod which passes
down the center of the bottle. When
an article of jewelry is to be tested
the stopper is simply removed, and
the article Is touched with the point OF
the glass rod TO which very slight
quantity of acid has adhered. Gold Is
not affected by the acid, but imitation
metal turns green.

Punctuation In Piano Playing,

A joke IL going the rounds OF the
press about the girl whose music teach
er wished 70 compliment her, but OF
whom he could only say that she play
ed the rests excellently. This is, how
ever, real praise Of sort, for 1t is not
every young student Of music who is
careful about playing the rests well.
Indeed, a great many players seem to
forget that the rests are just as much
Of the piece as is the punctuation In a
sentence. Nowadays people do not
put in so much punctuation as they
used to do, but the pauses in the voice
are there just the same and are readi-
ly understood by good readers and al
ways regarded. The rests in music
are like the pauses in reading that are
needed TO give expression to the SEN
tences. If the player sights the rests
or extends them too long the whole ef'
feet of the musical sentence is spoiled.

Our First Steam War,hip.

The Fulton. which at the time OF her
construction In the early thirties was
classed rs steam battery" was the
first United States warship that was
propelled by steam. She was built un-
der the superintendent Of Commodore
Matthew Galbraith Perry and at the
time OF her completion in 1897 was re-
garded as one Of the worlds wonders
by way Of naval architecture and pow
er at sea. The Fulton was the cause
OF no little speculation on the part
Of European powers, for at that time
she was looked upon by other nations
as all but invincible. When this Won
der Of the sea was put in commission
Commodore Perry. then holding the
rank Of commander, was put in COM
mand Of her. and he presently came TO
be called the father Of the steam
navy" The Fulton was built pri-
marily for defense Of New York har-
Dor, but she served as well to demon
strate the practical utility Of steam
power for warships.-New York Times.

play of ignorance. At lecture in Ed

the Duke of Argyll was taken sudden

ried down to one of the anterooms,"
said local paper, zone of the first
things TO be thought Of was the light
Ing of fire, and this task was tackled
by the dukes host, Lord Kelvin. But
instead of placing some paper in the
CRATE and some wood on that in the
orthodox manner he amazed the on
lockers by desperate efforts to kindle
a handful of sticks at gas burner.
Ordinary mortals may be pardoned for
taking some satisfaction in the fact
that even so great IA philosopher as
Lord Kelvin did not know how to light

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
No Set Rule For Sleep.

The amount of sleep required
varies so much with each indi-
vidual that no rule can be given.
Some persons find six hours
sleep enough to keep them In ex-
cellent condition physically and
mentally, and others need ten
hours to get the necessary rest.
One person can do the best work
Of the day during the early
morning hours, and the next per-
son can accomplish twice as
much by working from 9 to IL
o'clock at night. 1t is we'll to
accustom oneself to being In
control Of the brain action as far
as possible and to avoid con-
forming TO set rules. but person
al idlosyncrasies are not always
easy to overcome, and each one
must be a law unto himself In
such matters. II you feel bright

and can accomplish better work

fairs so you can give your indl-
vidual attention to your duties
