KEEP YOUR TEMPER

Keep your temper, gentle sir,
Writes the manufacturer,
Though your goods be overdue
For month, or maybe two,
We can't help it. Please don't swear!
Labor's scarce and looms are rare.
Can't get yarns, can't get dyes;
These are facts, we tell no lies.
Harry's drafted, so is Bill;
All our work IS now uphill.
SO your order, we're afraid,
May be little nit delayed.
Still, you'll get it, don't be vexed;
May be this week, may be next.
Keep on hopinc-don't say die,
Well send your order by and by.

The Ancient Quinn.

The quipu reached Its most elaborate
form among the Pcruvians, from whose
language the term "quipu," meaning
"knot," is borrowed. 1t consists of a
main cord. to which nre fastened at
given distances thinner cords Of diff
fcrcnt colors, each cord being kpotted
In divers ways for special purposes,
and each color having its own signifi-
cance. Red strands stood for soldiers,
yellow for gold, white for silver, green
for corn. and so forth. while single
knot meant ten, two knots meant twen-
ty, double knots two hundred. Such
simple devices served manifold pur-
poses. Besides their convenience in
reckoning, they were used for keeping
the annals of the empire of the lneas !;
for transmitting orders to outlying
provinces for registering details of
the army

DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by a curious
coincidence-for there could not pos
sibIy have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kino of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both HerodOtus and
Pliny, among early historians, have
told us about the cloths of vegetable
fiber made by the ancients; but in all
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were of even a more remote date. In
some respects the methods of today
bear strong resemblance to the older
practice. The chief difference con-
sists in the patterns now being en-
graved upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed at one time. Just
as today the coloring matter of dyes
is not affixed by merely printing, 1t on
the material, but Is secured by means
of substance known as mordant, so
did the Peruvians make use of prop
erty which caused The dye to adhere
and to withstand test of thousands
of years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction of tech
meal and artistic value the designs in
question haye,no equal.

beating the Bounds" In Virginia, at

bors From Far and Near.

beating the bounds" was spe.
clally important duty In the colonies,
where Land surveys were imperfect,
land grants irregular, and the bound
aries of each mans farm or planta-
tion at first very uncertain. In vir-
glnia this beating the bounds was
called provisioning" Landmarks
were renewed that were becoming OBJ
liberated; blnzes on tree would be
somewhat grown over they were
deeply recut; piles of great stones
containing certain number for des-
ignation were sometimes scattered
the original number would be re-
stored. Special trees would be found
fallen or cut down; new marking
trees would be planted, usually pear
trees, as they were long-lived Dis
puted boundaries were decided upon
and announced to all the persons pres
ent. some of whom at the next pro
cessioning" would even be able to
testify as to the correct line. This
provisioning took place between
Easter and Whitsuntide, that lovely
season of the year In Virginia: and

Japanese ConIuqal Etiquette,

When American people judge the de-
gree of affection between a Japanese
husband and wife by their conduct to
each other they make great mistake.
1t would be as bad form for man to
express approval of his wife or chill
dren as it would be for him to praise
any other part of himself. and every
wife takes pride In conducting her
self according to the rigid rules of
etiquette, which recognize dignity and
humility as the virtues that reflect
greatest glory on the home of which
she Is mistress.

Biblical Thrift.

The Scriptures give us many lessons
In thrift. Ezekiel warned the children
Of Israel that during the siege of Jeru-
salem they would have to be thrifty.
He said: "Take thou also unto thee
wheat, and barley, and beans, and
lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and
put them In one vessel, and make thee
bread thereof. "-Ezekiel iv: 8. The
Bible shows that Ezekiel ordered the
children of Israel to eat their meat
by weight, and even thus only from
time to time."-Thrift Magazine.

Ii a woman is borne down by pain
and sufferings at regular or irregular
intervals, by nervousness or dizzy spells,
by headache or backache, "Fayorite

existence is made gloomy by the chrome

painful disorders that afflict her sex, she
will find relief and emancipation from her
troubles in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. If she's overworked, nervous, or

strength. It's a powerful, invigoratng
herbal tonic and nervine which was dis
covered and used by an eminent physician
for many years, in cases of "female COM

calf which he is feeding, during the
month of June. The feat is attested
to by many neighbors of the lad,who
is one of Plains most industrious
youths, and an enthusiastic member
Of the Sumter County Calf club.
The calf is just six months old and
George o. Marshall, county farm dem
onstration agent here, states is one
of the finest animals owned by any
of the club members. The calf was
weighed by young Jennings on June
LIST, in the presence of several neigh
bors, and tipped the beam at 2S4
pounds, while on July 1st, just one
month later the calf was weighed
again and showed a gain of 1873
pounds. The calf was exactly six
months old when weighed the last
time.
