LISTENING TO THE CHIMES
Message of the Centuries Conveyed ts Those Who Have Minds At
 tuned to Hear.

Sitting in the village churchyard, while the children play with flow ers upon the sOdded grass, and the slow gOssips saunter past the gate and the evening sunshine breaks in through the golden shower of the laburnuns and rests peacefully on the worn head. stone. the chimng of the bells trem- bles through the air like speech of living voices. What histories of hu- man life have they not witnessed up in that gray tower among the ivy, What fears and iealousies what greed and passion and awful sins. handed down in whispers of dark tradition, have they not rung ill and out at baptism and wedding and funeral, What mysteries are sealed under these tombs, but no mysteries to them. How they have chimed for every one that is buried round. and DliNed with their thoughts, and wan dered with them through other lands, and come to them in dreams; dying children have heard them call to heaven; have fingered sweetly in the ears of happy brides lonely fathers have wept with them f. the dead; the have softened the prodicais heart in far country; they have rung ike the voice of peace through the din Of battle; they have startled the wick ed thought and palsied the wicked hand. and there they peal still, out of the past into the present over the peal of bells. and we have heard them < thousand times, and nobody thinks Of them; but yet all this. and a great deal more is in them.-William F. Stevenson.

Japaness Emhaimlns.

In the olden days In Japan tho mas ter sxnbalmer was successful in ss- curing to posterity a perfectly extraor. dinary amount of preservation in the bodies on which he operated. The Japan Chronicle draws attention to . case of this nature which has re- gently come to light in Kobe The op- eration of laying out a public park there included the removal of some graves Of the Aoyama family Two graves were opened belonging to old daimyo who were buried about 200 years ago. The graves consisted of stone cells with large coffins of wood. containing inner cofins of earthen- ware. On the spaces between the cell walls and the wooden cof1ns be- ing opened those present were much surprised to see that the bodies were in state of perfect preservation, hay ing all the appearance of wax hs.

SETTLED STATUS OF POET
Douglas JerroId's Verdict Will Be In. dcrsed by Many Who Have Tried
 to Read Browning.

The writings of Robert Browning, which are in great favor among an aesthetic few but continue to be caviar to the general public. probably received their keenest criticism from Douglas Jerrold half century ago. Jerrold was recovering from violent illness when copy of Browning 6 "Sordello' fell into the hands of the convalescent He began to read, but not complete idea could he get from that mystic production. The thought then struck him that he had lost his reason during his illness. Filled with agony, a precipitation burst from his brow. At that moment his wife enter. ed the room. Read this, my dear" he cried out, thrusting the volume into her hands. After several attempts to make any sense out of 1t, as ter rold related, she returned it. saying, Bother the gibberish. don't un- derstAnd word of it." Thank heaven" exclaimed Jerrold, then am not an idiot after all!"

Collectors as a rule are egotists and thieves. They are often leading citi- 2ens in the great republic of B0res. One man will buttonhole you in tho street while he tells you in ghaktiy detail how he finally secured the auto graph Of the fourth sofernor of Georgia. Another will describe miE- utely his collection Of photographs of all the women who have yet taken the part of Carmen.

HUMAN SYSTEM NEEDS ONION
odsrous Vegetable Has Value Far Be-
 yond That of Drugs That Are In Common Use

Many people imagine that to eI. press a liking for onions denotes a vulgar taste, but this much despised vegetable has many excellent Quali- ties. It contains large quantity of uitrogenous matter and uncrystalliz- able sugar with pungent sulphuric oil If children were encouraged to eat onions, many an illness might be prevented, and many a doctors bill saved. If baby has a cold, or seems croupy, frequent doses of onion syrup will give wonderful relief The syrup is obtained by cutting the onion into slices, and covering each with brown sugar, and putting one on the top of another in basin.
 In sick room you cannot have . better disinfectant than the onion. It has . wonderful capacity for absorb ing germs; q dish of sliced onions placed in a sick room will draw away the disease; they must be removed as soon as they lose their odor and be- come discolored, and be replaced by fresh ones. For those who can take them, . raw onion eaten just before retiring Is very beneflciAl-it acts as B tonic to the nervous system, purifies the blood, helps digestion, and very often prevents insomnia - Family Doctor.

AFFECTIONS OF THE NERVES
Ferms of heurasthenia Are Many. sut All Durable When Attended
 To In Time,

Neurasthenia, or nervous prostr2r ton, has so many forms and 90 many causes that it is one of the most puI- zling diseases 2 physician can bs called upon to treat. No general rules can be given, each case having to be handled on it's own merits It calls for 2 psychologist rather than a physi elan.
 Some of the many we'll defined forms that neurasthenia takes have re. ceived names of their own. Among these are asoraphobia, which shows itself in fright when in crowded places monophobia, or dread of being alone: claustraphobia. or fear Of con. fined places; anthroph0bia, or horror of society: batophobia. or dread of things falling from above; siderodro mophobia, or fright at travelling on . railroad train. Then there are the forms of mental rumination in which there is a ceaseless flow of ideas. The brain is so abnormally active that it produces insomnia. Arithmomania is tue form in which the sufferer counts necessarily and cannot stop.
 All are curable if taken in time.

THE SOUL KISS"

The engagement of "The Soul Kiss" said to be one of the most sue cessful and talked of musical comedy produced in New York last season, which comes to the Grand Opera House at Conway on Friday, January 2, for an engagement of one night, will no doubt be termed the big theatrical event of the present sea- son. "The Soul Kiss" is in two acts and ten scenes, with book and lyrics by Harry B. Smith and music by Maurice Levi. The story of the piece is inoffensive and is more consistent than is generally the case with musical comedies. At least dozen catchy numbers, each in their way distinct novelty, are sung throughout the two acts of this dainty musical comedy
 A we'll known cast of funmakers have been engaged to interpret the different roles. "The Soul Kiss" besides hay ing splendid musical numbers, we'll trained and beautiful chorus, is q most pleasing production scenically.

A CARD.

To the Voters of Faulkner County:
 At Wooster on the Beth day of De- cember at the opening of the political campaign for county officers, resolu-
 tion was offered to the effect, that, on
 account of the, condition of the roads and weather, the canvass should be called off and all appointments can- celled
 This resolution was submitted to a vote of the candidates and every one present, save one, voted in favor of it, and in accordance herewith, the public campaign was then and there closed. The three candidates for coun- ty judge, not only favored the resolu- tion, but pledged themselves to each other by publicly shaking hands, that they would faithfully comply with this action. Acting on this, returned home, but on Saturday night, much to my surprise, l received information that all the candidates attended the Appointment at Greenbrier, and for some cause unknown to me, and in my absence, decided to again take up the appointments, commencing at Guy lon Monday morning. Whether this was fair proceeding, leave it to the voters to determine. The roads of the county are almost impossible and can only be appreciated by experience.
 While the good Lord has blessed me up to the present time with fair de- gree of health, I do not feel that would be doing justice to myself, at my advanced age, to attempt to make this campaign over the county under the present conditions. l am making this race on my former record, as your former county judge from 1882 to 1888, which is well known to all the older residents of the county. l
 have no criticisms to make of either of my opponents, and should not do so
 were I to meet them on the stump. can only say, for myself. that when l assumed administration of your county affairs in 1882, the county scrip was worth but 15 cents on a dollar with county indebtedness of S75,000. and when l retired from of 1 flee. in 1888, scrip was worth 100 cents on dollar, and the county practically
 out of debt.
 Today we have an indebtedness of | S64 ,000 and your county warrants are
 only worth 40 cents. l feel that the
 good people of this county who have
 known me for over 40 years will not
 censure me for obeying the injunction,
 That self-preservation is the first law
 of nature" and will manifest their
 approval of my action by honorine me
 with their votes for county and pro- bate judge at the coming Democrats i primary.
