Real Ancei Of Death.

Most Of US are familiar with the
beautiful and artistic conception Of
French wherein a young sculptor who
is plying his magic ch1sel upon block
OF stone and summoning from the
snowy depths Of the marble the dream
face of his souls ideal is gently touch
ed by the wistful eyed angel Of death
and the skillful arm forever stayed.
The whole creation Is marvelously
beautiful, and the world is better for
its birth. Nevertheless it is allegorical
ard misleading. The real angel of
death IN the case Of the thin faced
sculptor was not a sad Tisaged maiden
Of classical profile. In all probability
it was minute, rodlike organism float
ing amid notes Of dust and known to
scientists as the bacillus tuberculo-
SIS" The writer does not want to be
shatterer Of ideals, but the sooner
such poetic notions Of death are done
away with and the mass Of the people
educated In common sense way to
the dangers Of dust and bacteria the
better it will be for humanity in gen.

a Wonderful Machine.

The machine by which railway tick
cts are printed gives an exhibition Of
intelligence or what looks very like it.
Railway tickets are not, as might be
supposed, printed in large sheets and
afterward cut. up. The cardboard is
cut into tickets first and printed one
by one afterward. The little blank
cards are put in a pile in kind OF
perpendicular spout, and the machine
slips a bit Of metal underneath the
bottom Of the spout and pushes out
the lowest ticket in the pile to be
printed and consecutively numbered.
It is Of no use trying to print a bad
ticket. The machine finds out an I'm.
perfect blank in an instant and fatty
refuses to have anything to do with it.
Tear off the corner Of one Of tie bits
of card and put it into the spout With
the others in order to see what VIII
happen and it refuses to bulge AGAIN
until somebody comes and removes
the impostor. Pull out the damaged
ticket and the mechanism Will SET
briskly to work again.-PhHadelphla
Record.

Wben Wonen Carved,

In George Is reign it was the bound
en- duty Of the mistress Of a country
house to carve for her guests. Ell
quette demanded it Of her. and no one
might relieve her Of her arduous task,
not even the master. To the latter was
only assigned the easy labor Of passing
the bottle and looking on while each
joint was placed in turn before his
wife or daughter, as the case might be.
and by her rapidly manipulated. Cary
ing became one Of the branches Of
good feminine education, and there
were professional carving masters who
taught the young ladies. Lady Mary
Wortley Montagu took lessons in the
art three times a week and on her
fathers public days made a practice
Of having her own dinner an hour or

receive his portion from his hostess

Good Roads Train in Manning.

The Atlantic Coast Line railroad
special good roads train spent last We'd
nesdav night aud Thursday morning in
Manning and attracted considerable at
tention from county officers and others
who are interested in the matter OF
highway improvement. This train is
admirably equipped for disseminating
information and specific instruction as
10 the most improved methods OF build
ing and maintaining good highways. 1t
comprises one private car for the ac-
commodation OF the government eX-
perts, Representatives of the highway
association and railroad officials accom-
pauying the train: then there is an eX-
hibition car with ratings and counters,
and equipped with an engine for gener-
ating electric power for operating the
models IN the exhibition car and light
for operating the lantern in the lecture
car, which latter is sixty feet long and
is equipped with platform for the lee
turerS and seats for the audience. Mod
els OF all types of modern highway con-
struction, and working models OF road
machipery are exhibited and operated
by electricity. whereby their practical
working are clearly demonstrated. A
highly interesting and Instructive illus
trated lecture on road building was de-
l,vered by Mr. Charles P. Light. trav-
cling organizer Of the American Asso-
citation for Highway Improvement. 1t
is matter Of slucere regret that more

Strict German Discipline.


German discipline in the army IS
the strictest Of any nation IN the
world" said a man who has exDe-
rienced it. every German boy must
serve a definite period In the army.
He can buy nis way out in six months
If he has money, but the richest must
serve that period. The first thing told
a recruit when he enters the barracks
is that he does not know how to walk.
That information startles him, because
naturally he believes he had learned
to walk years before. 4 drillmaster
gets him in courtyard, and for a
week, often a month, the poor recruit
is drilled In walking alone. Then he
gets another course, and the longest
practice marches Of a regiment are al
most equal to the stress Of actual war.
It makes thorough soldiers Of the
boys."-New York Tribune.

give it a grain. This ground surface
Is next treated with solution Of good

for some hours. Next the sheets OF
