SENATOR E. D. SMITH.

The Spartanburg Journal IS much
exercised because Col. Scaife, some
times school teacher, sometimes law
yer, and now a Federal officeholder
in Washington, we believe, has dis
covered that Senator Smith did not
vote on about fifteen hundred roll
calls. The Journal says that Senator
Smith has held the position of Sena-
tor in the light Of club membership,
and intimates that he has paid little
attention to the business in hand.
But neither Mr.. Scaife nor the
Journal tells US what roll calls Sena-
tor Smith failed to answer;
Neither tells US that s:ngle meas
ure failed of passage or rejection
because Senator Smith was not pres

Neither tells US that Smith was not
there when there was real demand
for Democratic votes;
Neither tells us that Smith ever
voted on the wrong side of ques-
tion that was of material benefit to
the people of South Carolina;
Neither tells US that Smith was
not busy with other more important
matters on the days when he failed
to answer the roll calls;
Neither tells US that Senator.

USED TOBACCO AS INCENSE
American Indians Inhaled Fumes as
They Burned the Fragrant "Weed"
to Their Gods

Smoking was a habit acquired by
European nations from the Indians
OF America. In 1892 Columbus found
them using tobacco, not as Is now
done. but as an incense burned in
honor OF their deity.
Tobacco smoking began as a re-
ligious rite. Tobacco was used by the
Indians much as oriental nations made
use Of myrrh or franklncence In their
religious observances. Voyagers TO
America after Columbus revealed DIFF
ferent customs In the tobacco habit.
1t was discovered that in certain parts
OF the continent the natives inhaled
the incense until they became exhil-
arated or even intoxicated by the
fumes. This meant for them that they
derived inspiration from the good
pleasure of their deity. The honor
paid to the deity came back upon them
In celebrating profusion.
From that step was not far TO as
certain that incense offered TO god
could be employed as a medicine. II
was drawn into the mouth through a
hollow tube-a kind o; pipe-anG
then expelled as smoking. To the ra-
tionalizing European it was left TO
transmit the poor Indians worship into
an ordinary pleasurable habit.

me,eori.e Of Great Age.

Meteorltes of indicated great age
are conspicuous by their absence from
museum collections. and IT is suggest
ed that such specimens may disinte-
CRATE and disappear from the rocks
within a relatively short time after
falling.
The British museum. however, has
lately acquired slice of somewhat
less than a pound from a meteoric
iron that is believed 10 represent an
ancient fall. The slice is from one
of two similar masses that were found
in January, 1905. within few miles
of Dawson, Klondlke, and that. from
their position deep in the oldest gray
els Of the district, are thought to have
rested there since the Pliocene age or
before.
From his study Of the original spec
linens in the museum of the geologi-
cal survey at ottawa, r. A. A. John
son has concluded that they are part
of a single meteoric shower of Ter
tiary time.-Newark News.

CALL FOR A NATIONAL CRY
Great Need In This Country, 'Tis Said,
for an Explosive, Express
slve Yell.

American audiences are charged
with being unresponsive and apathet'
ic, particularly in patriotic outdoor
demonstrations. Americans are not
incapable of making loud, loyal noises.
and not averse thereto. But rarely Is
a parade staged in this city that does
not move throughout large part of
its course between silent lines of spec
tators. The result is sometimes so
depressing as largely to neutralize the
desired effect of the parade.
The will to cheer doubtless arises
all along the line, but there is no short
and easily exploded yell known to us.
"Hurrah," is the traditional American
word for cheer. but no man will ven
ture its use in public. unless in the
wake OF n cheer leader who prefaces
1t with hip, hip, hip" Even then
the usual response testifies that this
method of cheering is getting rusty.
There is no lack Of cheering on an
American football field, nor at any
kind of a demonstration on college
campus. The reason for this is that
good, expressive. explosive yells have
been devised for outdoor use. And
because they do explode, and because
.hey stand for something, the Ameri-
can public likes to use them. They
nIso like to follow good yell leader.
America needs a rational yell. The
man who can coin one will do the
country a great service.-Minneapolls

AN ANNAPOLIS UNIT

1t is a matter of surprise that
SO few recruits have SO far en-
listed in the proposed Annapolis
company of the First Regiment
of the new Maryland National
Guard. \ half-dozen county
companies are already completed
or have nearly a full quota. To
have a new First Regiment with
out an Annapolis unit would be
like Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
This city has i'll past years dis
played such fine military spirit
that it cannot be likely our young
men will let the opportunity pass
TO have it represented in the re
organized National Guard. There
is ample material here, aside from
the hundreds who have served in
the militia or in the National
Army overseas. to quickly fill up
a new company. The training
would be invaluable to them. and
there are many advantages the
old militiamen did not have. The
new acknowledgement, a colonel
in the 4. L. T.. is a man and a
soldier in whom the utmost con
fidence can be placed.

divers IN Ancient History.

The earliest mention of diving Is
made by Homer, about $50 =. c., in
the 'Iliad," when Patroclus compares
the fall of Hector's charioteer 10 a
diver diving for oysters; and Thucy-
dideS tells of divers being used 70 re-
move submarine barriers placed with
the object of impeding or injnring
the Grecian feet at the siege of SYRIA

GIVE STIMULATION TO GENIUS
Toxins Manufactured In Mans Own
II System Powerfully Affect the
Associative Faculties.

Genius is a question of sensitiza.
ton Of protoplasn-it goes back TO
physical fact. And the foundation or
che greatest cathedral of beauty ever
erected by the mind OF genius rests
squarely upon the flesh of mans
body, writes Jeanette Marks In the
Yale Review. Sensitized prOtoplasm
yibrates in answer TO outside impress
sions, with cOncentric waves Of vary
ing diameter. The stimulated, sensi.
tlzed protoplasm sets the associative
faculties TO work, and the bigger this
associative faculty, the bigger the
genius. 1t IS just here in the morbid
stimulation of protoplasm that toX-
ms. drugs, alcohol, enter in. Disorder
reigns supreme. chaos. noise. nervous
ness. near-madness, through the slim
illus OF some toxins manufactured in
mans own system. Tea, coffee.
drugs, alcohol, seem temporarily at
icast to put the mental furniture in
order. 10 bring harmony where there
has been disorder. Opium is not
genius. Madness is not genius. But
both would sometimes appear TO have
the power to act as umpire for genius
where its right TO go forward Is in
question. And it would seem that
the purchasing power in dreams WAS
even greater in insanity than with
either alcohol or opium.

HOW Needles Are Made.

II was not until after 1885 that
needles were entirely made and finish
ed by machinery. The present-day
process of making needles may be
described as follows: The first opera
ton is TO cut the needle wire into
eight-foOt lengths: this is done by
winding it into coil OF sixteen feet
circumference and then cutting this
coil into exact halves with powerful
cutting shears. The cOiling of the wire
IS so managed that there are 100
pieces In each half when cut.

HELD FAST TO THOSE FISH
indianapolis Man Was Taking No
Chances Of Losing the Prizes
He Had Secured.

Tom Genolln, OF the railway mall
service, tells a thriIllng story of how
once upon time he was tempted and
fell; how in the early hours of morn
ing he slipped away TO a posted
stream and drew from thence five of
the most beautiful bass ever seen.
The climax of his story reads thus:

beauties and started homeward l

upon the bush and clutched for the
place where the fish might be. That
is when / awoke and gathered myself
up from the bedroom floor where ]

Chance for Rich Boys.

A rich man, whose son had been
tainted by other boys, who said that
the rich boy had no chance to become
prominent in industry or science, got
an educational expert to send out a
letter to 80 rich men. asking them how
they started out in business.
OF the 80 men selected as the fore
most in business success, "a were born
poor, II were born in moderate circum-

orioln Of Sea Serpent.

Professor Darcy Thompson, during
the course of a recent lecture at the
London Royal institute. said that he
had no doubt that the cuttle-fish was
the strange beast which the ancients
had named the sea serpent. They
must have seen it during one of its
playful gambols. and have mistaken
its wedge-shaped tail for the head OF
the serpent, and the end of one of It's
enormously long arms for the tip of
the serpent's tail.
No story of ogre. giant. or witch
was more strange and terrifying than
the cuttle-fsh or octopus. Neverthe-
less, the cuttle-fish's bone" had home
~ associations. 1t was used for pet
canaries to pick at. and for lawyers to
clean up parchment. 1t was also used
to polish the doors of carriages.

Lonnes, and shortest paxs.

The days generally known as tho
longest and shortest days of the year
are the days which occur when tho
sun is farthest removed from the ce-
lestial equator. There are two such
points in the ecliptic. one where it
touches the trOpic of Capricorn and
the other where it touches the tropic
OF Cancer. The former is known as
the summer solstice and the latter the
winter solstice TO those who inhabit
the northern latitude and vice versa.
The sun attains these two points on
June 81 and December 81. which are
commonly known as the longest and
shortest days OF the year.

On Bakers Day.

Charles had been going 20 kinder
garten about two weeks. During this
time the children had been taught the
song ''Nhen the Sun Wakes Up at
Break of Day" The little fellow liked
Il very much and tried to sing it at
home The children had been told
about Mrs. Blaker living above the
kindergarten and that she could hear
them singing.
This fact. with the words OF the
song made deep impression on
Charles. When he reproduced the song
ut home. this is what he insisted was
correct: when the Sun Wakes Up on
Bakers Day."
