Accurate Grinding Wheels.

Grinding wheels have fine work to
do, writes Ellwood Hendrick In the
Scientific American. Limits OF irreg-
ularity as low as n.000J inches and
o.OOO24 inches are often given. And
II should be remembered that when
O.OOO25 Of an inch is being ground, the
heavy slide that carries the wheel and
wheel spindles moves forward only
half that distance. If piece Of tissue
paper were split Il times consecuttvely,
1t would have the thickness under
which these machines have constantly
to work. And yet, when we consider
the forces present In a wheel weighing
200 pounds rotating at speed Of l.
200 revolutions per minute. we are not
reminded of a watchmaker's lathe, de-
spite the exquisite precision Of the op-
Grafton.

Abraham snd ssrah.

The original name Of the founder q

to Abraham. In Genesis, Chapter II,
verses to 6, 1t Is recorded: "And
Abram fell on his face; and God talked
with him. saying, AS for me behold, my
servant Is with thee, and thou shalt be
a father Of many nations. Neither
shall thy name any more be called
Abram, but thy name shall be Abra.
ham; for father Of many nations
have I made thee" This record Of the
change Of name seems to imply some
significance or motive In 1t, but scrip.
tural commentators have never discov.
cred 1t nor any difference in the mean
ing Of the two names. As the name Of
Abraham's wife was at the same time
changed from Sarai to Sarah the
change Of both names may have been
intended to emphasize the solemnity
of the occasion and the covenant then
entered into. Genesis II. verse 10,
reads, "And God said unto Abraham, as
for Sarai, thy wife. thou shalt not call
her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her

Sleep Matter Of individuality.

A physician who makes study OF
women's nerves and their quality OF
endurance, asserts that little intelli-
gence on their part would help I'M
mensely in going through life. The
reason, he says, that women get e1'
hausted after any endurance test, Is
that they do not know how to balance
work and rest. Sleep In proper pro-
portions Is OF the utmost Importance.
1t should De taken In immoderate
doses when one has gone through a
tedious time or expects to face one.
The seven-hour rule Of custom should
be utterly abolished. There should
not be one rule for every one concern
Ing sleep. Each individual should be
her own Judge Of how much is needed.

its present owner bought it.
The unusual circumstances con-
nected with this farm are:
Sixteen years ago Charlie Norman
was graduated from the state univer-
sity at Raleigh, n. c. He bundled up
his education and started for Iowa,
and when he arrived at New Provi-
dence that was the sum total Of his
earthly possessions, He hired out as
a farm hand in the summer and taug ut
school IN winter. He kept this up for
a coupiv - -:a-= and then Started in
to farm on his own hook. He has beeE
making good every minute and no
young man could stand higher in the
intellectual community Of New Provi-

Drjylno Away Disease.

Well-knOwn walkers have proved
that the short cut to health is walking.
Many Of them say that through this
exercise they have cured rheumatism,
the exertion removing uric acid from
the system. Another well-known Pc
destrian cured himself of Brights dis
ease by persisting in walking after be-
ing told that his cure was hopeless. I
have known persons to cure persistent
colds by vigorous walking. The exer-
else had the same result as Turkish
bath. Needless to say that one should
not linger in the damp clothes when
the walk is finished. They should be
removed and hot bath taken, followed

DEFENSE IS READY,
STATE MAY SEEK DELAY
Attorneys For Preacher viii Demand
Immediate Hearing Or Dismissal OF

Ask That Geauns Be Appointed to
Prosecute Case Against Havner.

Ned Oak, Oct 15.--District court
convenes here Tuesday and Rev. Lrn
G. J. Kelly who but for the vote Of one
juror would today be q free man, IS
slated to so on trial again on The
charge OF completely IN the N.ll!sca an
murders. However. there IS n chance
that Kelly may have to wait while
for his second trial. altho his attorneys
are prepared to go into court this
week and insist upon an immed att
trial. What move the state intends 10
make in the matter Is still a question.
Attorney General Havns- has not an
nounced what action he IS considering
taking but It would not be a surprise
If the state should ask for a postpone
ment of the second trial.
Attorneys for the preacher probably
will demand an immediate hearins for
the alleged ak men or els dismissal
OF the indictment which would release
him from custody. At the close OF the
September trial which resulted IN

said it was his Judgment that the case

State Claims Stronger Evidence.
The state claims 10 have some
stronger evidence against Kelly than
that which was offered in MS first
trial Its nature has not been revealed.
Many who have been following the
turn Of events in Montgomery county
believe that it will b. an almost I'M
possible task to get an unprecedented
jury to hear kelly's trial. 1t required
IT'S veniremen TO get the jury in Sep
TENDER after six days Of examination
OF jurors. Considerable moro feeling
has been engendered since then and
the selecting OF a Jury for a second
hearing Is likely to require much
longer tina
However, chief interest in the Mont
gomery county situation centers in

Fortunate Dablea.

There is one instance. at least, whers
n baby received substantial bonus as
result of subscriptions raised by the
inhabitants Of the town where 1t was
born. This was at Schoneberg, near
Berlin. With the arrival Of the baby
the population Of the town reached the
100000 mark. and according to rule.
1t attained the dignities and privileges
Of a "grosstadt," or large town. The
inhabitants marked the occasion BY
raising a considerable sum Of money
for the baby. At Temesvar. in Hum
gary, 10000 was once settled on .
baby. The baby had been left at an
orphanage and visitor agreed to set
tie that sum Of money on 1t II allowed
to take II away and adoot It.

inherited Qualified.

Various kinds Of arithmetic appear
to be dependent on different functions
of the brain, and are therefore prob
ably inherited independently, If they
are inherited at all. To assume that
the resemblance between parent and
offspring in arithmetical ability Is due
to association, training and imitation,
is not plausible. If this were the case,
a class OF children ought to come to
resemble their teacher, but they do not.
Moreover, the child sometimes resem-
bles more closely the parent with
whom he has been least associated In
daily life.

church In Germany the peasants were
in the habit Of bowling or genufiectins
when they passed certain part Of the
wall. None Of them could give any
I1asvIl, except thst they had been
taught to do 1t. Even the oldest in
habitant had never heard Of any res
son, and did not think that any was
known to the previous generation. It
was just custom that had been hand
ed down. But when some repairs came
to be made and the wall was stripped
Of lime It was found that a painting Of
the Virgin Mary had existed, and still
fraglnentarily existed, at that place.
It had evidently been covered up at the
Reformation; but the customary obsas-
ance had been kept up even after ~

He paid $500 for the place. He farmed

cease in Hubbard. When John F. Hard

prohibition speeches on the streets OF
Hubbard last Tuesday the crowd was
composed Of a fair sized sprinkling Of
German Americans and they applaud

to be in sympathy with the cause Of
