5000 REeIsTRATIONs N APRIL.
The Vital Statistics Lar is Becoming
More PopuIar Among CarOliniahs.


More Popular Among CarOliniaps.
The vital statistics law is proving
to be- the nit Of the season as health
work goes. The public is already
taking greater interest in having their
babies births recorded and in report
ing deaths than was ever expected by
the State Board of Health.
A call at he vital statistics depart
ment today showed that for the month
of April over 5000 births and deaths
have been reported as against 7,1oO
for March and only 4,SOO for Febfuay
In the opinion Of the board this repre-
sents about nine-tenths of all the
births and deaths actually occurring
in the State This rapid increase in.
figures tells better than words of the
public's interest in the new law.
Our people no longer mean to be
born, live and die and leave no more
record of their having been here than
so many animals. Each human being
certainly deserves to have permaS
nent record made of the two most i'm
portant events of his life CHS birth
and DEATH and to have these records
filed in the archives of the State to
all time.
Much of the credit for the favorable
report of this county is due to our adj
mirabIe corps of local registrars to
whom all these births and deaths oc-
curing, in the various towns and
townships were first reported. For
the information of our readers who
have occasion to report births and
deaths, we give herewith a list of the
registrars for each town and township
in the county. Always be sure to re-
port to the registrar in your own town
or township.

NOT AN ABSOLUTE BLANK
Eye Retains Impression of Last-Seen
Spectacle During the Duration
Of Wink.

When person winks his eyes he
momentarily covers the entire eye
balls, and everything therefore should
turn absolutely black and be in total
darkness for the instant. AS matter
of fact, he certainly is in total dark
ness, but he is unconscious of the
same. The reason he is unconscious
is that the eye is incapable of remov-
ing certain view from itself until an
eighth of second has elapsed. So the
view seen just before the ball goes In
to eclipse continues to be seen for an
eighth of second. But as the eye is
not covered by the lid as long as this,
new view arrives to supplement the
old view before the old one has van
ished. Thus the darkness is not no.
ticed, although there is no doubt that
It exists.
This same popularity of the eye
enables moving pictures to have their
being. 1t also is the reason why a
lighted torch whirled rapidly around
shows path instead of sequence of
torches. Also why rapidly rotating
wheel does not show it's spokes. If a
snapshot be taken of such wheel 1t
does show the spokes, however, and
proves the above fact of persistence.
Or II the wheel be viewed by light
ming flash it shows them.

ALL IN ABILITY TO SAY "N0'
Great Truth, Voiced by Chauneey M.
Depew, Is Worth the considera-
ton of All.

Chauncey M. Depew, reviewing his
eightieth birthday, says: II have found
the best insurance policy is the ability
to say no. Many Of my friends have
died before their time because they
could not resist the asperities which
destroyed them. Abstinence is hard at
first, requires will power and self-de-
NAL, but abstinence soon conquers de-
sire. Ever after is the joy of victory
and confidence in that handspring of
life-the will.
Horace Greeley once said to me
after the payment of notes he had in
dorsed had SWEET away years of saw
ings. Chauncey, want you to have a
law passed making 1t a felony, pun
ishable with life Imprisonment, for a
man to put his name on the back of
another mans paper AS l lament
about one-quarter of my earnings gone
that way because of my inability to
say no, and without any benefit to my
friends, sympathize with Mr.. Gree

one-third Of the first bottle, before I
could notice Its good effects.
Now l can do all my work, feel like
I'm not more than 16 years old, but
am really 40. My own friends say
look so well, they don't recognize me
when we meet in the road.
My daughter is using Cardui, and
she says 1t is fine medicine. l also
have number of lady friends taking
1t, since they found out how it helped
me.
Whenever / feel little fatigued

Der of printed books in the world is
no less than 11,63S,S10, and that about
S,7H,O00 of these had been published
subsequently to the year 1900. From

1t was not until 1900 that the annual
average passed 10000. and It was not

Napoleon at Elba.

One hundred years ago Napoleon
landed at Porto Farrajo, on the island
Of Elba, Of which he had been made
sovereign by the allies. He was re-
ceived with shouts of Joy by the FL
ban population, who were proud Of
the sovereign whom the chances Of
fortune had just thrown upon their
shores. The former dictator Of Eu-
rope proceeded to organize his little
island realm with the same care and,
as it proved, with the same purpose
Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT he had bestowed
on the empire he had forfeited. Dur
ing the nine months that he remained
the Man of Elba," the world was
watching him, and he was watching
the world. The suspicion that Elba
would yet develop political volcano
was general. and. as events proved,
was well founded.

OIL DESTROYS Insects.

Insects generally breathe through
special pores in various parts of their
body, and II these pores are closed
by oil they are suffocated Anyone
may test this by dropping sweet oil
on the back of wasp; it very soon
dies. For this reason oil has been
found one of the best things used for
the destruction of insects. Flies, mos
quitoes. reaches and other vermin can
be driven from house by the liberal
use of coal oil.
