Peril of Volcanic Waves.

Occasionally there appears a
great wave sweeping across the
calm surface of the ocean in the
fairest wheather and when NJ
wind is blowing. There are few
perils of the sea to be more dread
ed than such a wave. OppOrtun
ately these are very rare, yet
more than once a ship has en-
countered one.
The cause of these singular
waves is believed to be some dis
turbance of a volcanic nature at
the bottom of the sea. Volcan-
oes exist in the ocean as we'll as
on land; in fact, nearly all the
volcanoes known are on or near
the sea coast. 1t is easy to see
that an upheaval at the sea bot
tom may start billow at the
surface of the water, when we
remem Der that huge waves have
been sent clear across the Pacif
ic ocean to San Francisco by vol
canio shakings Of the earth on
the borders of Asia.
The world under water
is not only three times as extern
sive as that which is covered only
with air, but itpossesses many of
the same great natural phenome-
ma on a scale which is perhaps
proportionately vast, but of
whose existence we are made
aware only By such indications
as the volcanic ocean waves that
ships occasionally encounter.

When housekeeping.

Do not use carpet sweeper on
q rug and never beat it on the
back, as this breaks the threads.
Orientals never beat their rugs,
and never step on them with
shoes worn in the street; when
they become much soiled, they
wash them and spread them in
the sun to dry. The best way to
clean q rug in your home, if
small and dyed with vegetable
colors is to put it in lukewarm
water in tub, soap it we'll and
brush with o clean brush. In the
summer, rugs can be hung on a
line or railing and the hose turn
ed on them. For the daily or
weekly care of rugs, keep a clean
broom, not too stiff, for their es-
pecial use. Sweep the rug with
the pile, with the dry broom,
then gently against the pile.
In winter, the sweeping is best
done out Of doors. After shak-
ing the rug, or beating on the
right eide, spread on the snow
and brush off with snow, if snow
is to be had. A piece of rubber
hose is an excellent thing to use
as a carpet-beater. Lastly, look
out for moths, especially in fur
nace-heated house. A rug in
daily use seldom has moths, but
rugs used for hangings are apt TO
invite colonization. An occasion
al brushing or exposure to air
especially in winter, is usually
sufficient to dlslodge the enemy;
but if moth-eggs do get in the
rugs, and hatch by the heat of
the rooms, shake out all the dust,
dampen the rug and press on the
back with hot iron, going over
every inch of it.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1911-03-02

four days UP to the adjournment for
the recess, passed one hundred and
thirty-four bills, which were ap-
proved, only fifteen of which were
general laws. There have been,
one hundred and nine
teen laws passed by the present
Legislature which are of no general
interest, but which apply only TO
certain localities
1.-The Legislature has been spend
ing the peoples money in doing
that which should be accomplished
through the medium of several gen
eral enactments granting certain
privileges to counties and munici-
palities.
"The plan of legislating in a
specific way for municipalities and
counties has proved to be not only
burdensome as to cost to the
State and annoyance to the law
makers, but it has proved to be
very unsatisfactory and often I'M
just and harmful, for after all, the
local legislators are allowed to con-
troll i'll purely local matters unless a
powerful opposing influence is
brought to bear.
Tennessee needs a general stat
ute governing municipalities, i'll
which all incorporated towns and
cities are authorized to do certain
things in certain way.
"a similar statute should be en-
acted enabling counties to do those
things which the Legislature is call
ed on biennially to grant authority
for.
"The absurd practice engaged il
by the legislature of passing null,
tiplicity of laws which are local il
their application and effect, prac.
tice that is authorized by a strained
construction of the constitution, is
fraught with inestimable harm, fol
it has opened the way for the graf
ter to ply his trade and for a fou
brood of politicians to feather theil
nests to the injury of the public.

What he was Thinking About.

A grandfather of South Phil
adelphia home walked into the
sitting room and found his grand
son In deep thought, says the
Philadelphia Times.
"John," he said, Il will give
you a nickle if you will tell me
what you are thinking about"
No effect was produced on the
grandson at all.
IL say, John, will give you a
quarter if you will tell me-" said
the grandfather.
With that remark the grandson
jumped up and demanded the
money, which was readily turned
over TO him.

said, chow | could earn some
money without working for it. "

The Hopeful Attitude.

There is a tremendous power
in the habit of expectancy, the
conviction that we shall realize
our ambition, that our dreams
shall come true, says Orison
SWEET Marden in Success Maya
zine. There is no uplifting habit
like that of carving an expect
ant, hopeful attitude, of expect
ing that our heart yearning will
be matched with realities; that
things are going to turn out we'll
and not i'll; that we are going to
succeed; thas no matter what
may or may not happen, we are
going to be happy.
There is nothing else so help
full as the carrying of this Opt,
miStlc att tude-the attitude
which always looks for and ex
poets the best, the highest, the
happiest--and never allowing
oneself to get into the pessimis-
tic, discouraged mood.
Believe with all your heart
that you will do what you were
mado to do. Never for an in
slant harbor a doubt of this.
Drive it out of your mind if it
seeks an entrance. Entertain
only the friend thoughts or I'd eals
of the thing you are bound to
achieve, Reject all thought of
enemies, all discouraging moods
everything which would even
suggest failure or unhappiness.

heap of stones. The wheel was
demolished and the rider was ir-

A COMMUNICATION from a road
commissioner, regarding Our road
law, which appeared in last week S
issue, was driving at the center.
That there must be some radical
changes in the system Of working
public roads in this state is admit
ted by every person informed upon
the subject. We cannot hope for
such relief until public sentiment is
sufficiently aroused to make the
law makers sit up and take notice,
and as the matter has not been agi-
tated at a time when such agitation
becomes effective, we are likely to
be turned away empty handed by
this legislature, but after this one
there will be another.
