The Basin Of rhankfuInsss.

The unqualified acceptance OF life,
with all its mystery and pain, all Its
labor and WEAKNESS and yet with all
its sweetness and Joy and all It's latent
potentiality-that is and forever must
be the basis of true gratitude, the one
great theme for thanks. Unless you
are grateful for life itself you cannot
be truly glad for anything that life
contains. But being grateful for life
itself adds a tinge Of celestial glory 10
every simple blessing and makes today
akin to the vast forever.

Condors In Chile.

The majestic condor is. air men ex- cluded, the largest flying creature in the world. Swift and extraordinarily strong of wing, it figures in the Chilean national arms as symbol of strength The following is one of the native de vices for killing it:
 The hunter. having covered himself with the skin of a newly slain OK. would lie on his back on the ground while his companion would hide him. self not far away. Down would swoop the condor to feast upon the carcass but directly the claws touched the body they were seized from within the oxskin by strong gloved hands that held the bird a prisoner. Then the partner would break cover and slay the captive with what Chaucer would have called "a verde smerck" from a club.-"Chile-Its Land and People"

THE SUPPLY OF BABIES.
What a Procession of Those Born In One Year Would Mean.

What a Procession of Those Born In
 One Year Would Mean.
 It has been computed that about 3G,OO0,000 babies are born into the world each year. The rate of produc- tion is, therefore, about seventy per minute, or more than one for every beat of the clock.
 With the one-a-second calculation every reader is familiar, but it is not every one who stops to calculate what this means when 1t comes to q years supply. It will, therefore, probably startle good many persons to find, on the authority of well known statis- tician, that, could the infants of year be ranged in a line in cradles, the cradles would extend around the globe.
 The same writer looks at the matter in more picturesque light. He im- agines the babies being carried past given point ill their mothers arms, one by one, and the procession being kept up night and day until the last hour ill the twelfth month had passed by. A sufficiently liberal rate is al- lowed. but even in going past at the rate of twenty a minute, 1,20O an hour, during the entire year. the reviewer at his post would have seen only the sixth part of the infantile host.
 In other words. the babe that had to be carried when the tramp began would be able to walk when but q mere fraction of it's comrades had reached the reviewers post, and when the years supply of babies was draw ing to close there would be rear guard, not of infants, but of romping siX-year-old boys and girls.-London Tit-Bits.

OYSTER SHELLS.
Once Little Valued, They Are Now .
 Boon to Oyster Growers.

SHC0 I1tSio VAiO0oS sUoy ATo NOW U Boon to Oyster Growers. Ten years ago any stranger could spot the shore location of an oyster fishery by means of the mammoth piles of oyster shells. These were heaped up on the shore in great stacks sometimes from thirty to forty feet in height. These shells were considered of little value. In many places they were actually given away and they were used to be crushed up and spread over road beds and they were also burned in order to get the lime from them.
 Today these piles have disappeared and if you wanted ton or so of them you would have to pay pretty good price, simply because the owners want to dump them back into the sea. There used to be a great deal of difficulty in preparing oyster beds for breeding purposes Then it was dis covered that the best possible breed ing place for the embryo oysters was on the smooth inside surface of the adult oyster shells. and so every year the shells from the shuckad oysters are taken out and scattered over the beds. The baby oysters attach themselves to these surfaces and thrive nightly.
 There are experts today who know nothing of fishing for oysters or mar keting them. but who devote all their time to the preparation of artificial oyster beds. This has become rec ognized part of the industry. After the shells have been properly spread over the bottom of the water the spawn is liberated upon them and they are left to fight their own battles with the crabs. periwinkles, starfish and other enemies-BostOn Herald.

HANGING PICTURES.
The Old Rule and Origin of the Term
 "On the Line."

The Old Rule and Origin of the Term
 "On the Line."
 People still speak of pictures being hung lon the line" at the Royal Acade- my, but very few indeed, even among the present members themselves, know the origin of the term. The common belief that it implies place on the eye is more or less correct. But when the exhibitions were held in Somerset House and Trafalgar square the term meant something far more definite. In those days people not only spoke of pictures being hung lon the line," but above the line" and ''below the line" ''The line' was then regular and per manent fixture. It was a horizontal line exactly eight feet from the floor, marked by a projecting ledge that left the surface of the wall below 1t two inches in advance of that which was above 1t.
 A picture was said to be hung "on the line' when the top of its frame was level with this ledge. Hung thus." says G. D. Leslie, R. A., in "The Inner Lift of the Royal Academy" "the picture, unless very small one indeed, was exactly at the height to be viewed comfortably by specta- tor"
 The rule in old times was that all very large pictures, as well as whole length and half length portraits. had to be placed above the line, the bot toms of their frames resting on the ledge which marked the line, but no lower. The line was thus preserved level, no pictures breaking through it either from above or below

SOURCE OF SHELLAC.
Insects Producing It Are Victims of
 Their Own Industry.

Scale insects of the group coccidae are responsible for one of India's most interesting exports, lac, the export value of which amounts to nearly $9,- OOO.OOO annually. Lac is the resinous emulation of the insect. Tho insects live upon the twigs of certain trees. and soon become covered with resi- nous secretion that increases ill thick ness, protecting the body and the eggs
 When colony. consisting of few adult females and one or two males. find their way to new branch, they attach themselves to the bark, and. having pierced 1t with holes through which they draw up the resinous juices upon which they feed. they become fixed or glued by the superfluous excre tion. and after time die, the females forming by their dead bodies little domes or tents over the myriads of minute eggs which they have laid. In short time the eggs burst into life. and the young. which are very minute. swarm over the twig in such countless numbers as to give it the appearance of being covered with blood red dust: Generation after generation dwells upon the same twig until it is envel- oped in a coating of the resinous exu- dation often half an inch thick
 In the beginning the insect was much collected for the dye it contains. Later when the use of the resin became known the demand for the dye began to diminish. until now 1t has been al most completely displaced by coal tar colors. After separating the resin from the coloring matter the former consti- tutes the shellac of commerce.-Argo- naut

Your Height and Foot.

The height of the human figure is six times the length of the human foot. Whether the form is slender or plump the rule holds good on the average: any deviation from the rule is n de- parture from the beauty of proportion. It is claimed that the Greeks made all their statues according to this rule.

Work Day Saturday, Sept. 25.

There are nearly 1000 orphan
children in the church orphanages
of the State: 800 at 'Thornwell or
phanage (Presbyterian,) Clinton, S;
c.; 250 at Connie Maxwell (Baptist,)
Greenwood, S. c.; 240 at Epworth
orphanage (Methodist,) Columbia, S.
c.; 122 at the Church Home (Epis-
copal,) Yorkville, S. &C.
. The daily bread for all these chill
dren comes from the gifts of the peo-
pie. They have nothing except what
is given them.
These children are being trained
to make useful, healthy, intelligent
citizens, and many boys and girls
reared in these orphanages are sue
ceeding in life. All these institu-
tions are crowded and their needs
are pressing.
By appointment, Saturday, Septem-
Der 25, has been designated as
Labor Day and all who are inter-
ested in orphan children are asked
to give to one of those .orphanages
what they earn on Saturday, Sep
tember 25.
Let all who will earn some money
that day-the busy man at his desk,
the merchant and the farmer, house
wives and school children, all wage
earners- everybody; let all make a

DOLLAR TO ASSUME THRONE.
Federal Reserve Board Decides Hour
= Has Struck for Uncle Sans Com.

Washington, September 1O.-Ihe
time has come, in the opinion OF the
federal reserve board, when the
American dollar should take doml-
Mating place in the financial markets
Of the world, and when American or
dollar exchange should become the
medium through which the ml1ons
of exports and imports OF the Cnlteo
states are paid. To open the helo
for American exchange the board to-
dav issued revised regulations gov
erning the rediscount of bankers ac-
ceptances by federal reserve banks
proyiding among other things tna'
under certain conditions such accep-
ances may be renewed. In explana-
zion of the new regulations the ooaro
tonight issued statement WHICH,
said:
..1t has been the aim of the board
IN do everything in it's power TO GRE
ate for the American acceptance tnat
;s dollar exchange, dominating po'
skit;on in the world market. present
conditions offer in this respect "a
great opportunity. In wioenins
somewhat the facilities of federal re-
serve banks in dealing with Amer
ran bankers acceptances the board
is attempting to give the .memoer
hanks a larger opportunity for de-
yeloping their sphere of usefulness
IN this respect. The United States
should now do what Europe has oone
for many generations for the y nlteo
states. that is to say, the BANK Ia
ci1ities of the United States shouio
he nsed for the carrying OF import
and export transactions for foreign
countries just as much as Europe
mn 70 now carried by it's acceptance
Of the United States.
Liberal Consideration.
.sIn order to do this with the eA-
change market disorganized 1t was
thought that It would facilitate for
eign transfers If liberal consloera-
tions Should be allowed for the re-
newaI of such drafts SO as to enaoie
these foreign countries to nave am
nles time to procure the necessary
cover against the acceptance ora"h
by them. -
SO Members of the board said there IS
no connection between the revision
If the acceptance regulations and the
visit of the Ang1e-French commls-
sion to the United States to take up
exchange problems with American
bankers.
It was pointed out tonight, now
ever, that the new acceptance reguia-
tions might facilitate the credit loan
sought by the Anglo-F'rench commls-
sion. The board has liberalized con-
Ytditions so that foreign and American
bankers may use part of the re-
sources of the federal reserve sys-
tenn in taking care Of purchases
made here for expectation. On the
last day the condition of the twelve
reserve banks was published tney
had combined resources in gold IN
their vaults of about 09,000,OO0.
If American bankers decided to ex-
tend credit by endorsing or accept
ing drafts on Europe they probably
could rely on rediscounting these
drafts with federal reserve banks to
the value of many millions.
