Hay ing that the decline of the glory of Athens and Home was due entirely to their failure to uplift their citi zens into an atmosphere of iutellec tual freedom, he admonished his audience that to fulfill Us duty to posterity. South Carolina must exer cise a greater interest in education. Mr, Smith said Jefferson's great est pride was not that he had been President of the United States, but that he was "author of the Declar ation of independence, author of re ligious freedom and founder of the University of Virginia," as is evi denced by an epitaph upon the shaft at Montlcello, penned by the great ?

The badge consists of the royal arms and a motto in an oval sur mounted by a crown, and from it hangs a silver greyhound, which given the messengers their romantic title of "silver greyhounds." These ar* often employed to carry personal mes sages from the king and queen to their relatives on the continent.

Floating factories have become an Important part of the development of the forest rcapyroeq of Jndla. Id, cer. tain parts of that country the forests are only accessible through the water courses. and the great expense of erecting land plants for the utilization of the lumber resources makes such It course Impracticable. Therefore, sawmills and other manufacturing, es tablishments are built on floating platforms and moved up the streams as they are needed. After the lumber is prepared in a sawmill It can b? packed In a way that makes trans portation much more economical than any system of logging. Plants for the preparation of tannin extracts have also been established in this manner. The plants are built on flat boats. 20ft feet long by 27 feet wide, capable of carrying a load of 470 tons. Up-to-Date Advertising. The president of a Pittsburgh sav ing* bank called In his advertising man one morning and said: "What this Institution wants is some striking ad vertising material, something that has a thought iu it, something that will catch the eye and command the mind. Fix me up an ad that will make a hit whnn it is published In the morn ing papers." Two hours later the ad vertising man laid this on the bank president's desk: "If Elijah were liv ing today, there would be no ravens to feed him. That brand of raven has gone to roost forever. The only bird that will feed you now Is theeagle on th<- American dollar. Catch the eagles, Sav?i the dollars. If you do. you and your family will never starve.

One of these sent a Strasburg doctor a box of cigars, which had not been ordered, together with a bill for fifteen marks. The accompanying letter stated that "I have ventured to send these on my own . initiative, being convinced that you will appreciate their exquisite flavor." In due course, the doctor replied. "You have not asked me for a consultation, but I venture to send you three prescriptions, being convinced that you will be quite as satisfied *itli them as I am with your cigars. As my charge for a prescrip tion is five marks, this makes us quits." ? London Chroniole. Objected to "Playing Favorites."

Exchange. Senses of Plants. The sense most developed in plants la that of sight, which enables them to see light but not to distinguish ob jects. This sense limitation la found among many living creatures, such as the earthworm, oyster and coral, etc., which possess no localized visual organ, but give proof of their lumin ous impressions by the contractions (hat they manifest when exposed to a ray of sunshine. Similarly, it is eafty to gauge the influence of light on plants. Cultivate a plant in a room with a window only on one side and its stalks in growing will incline to ward the source , of light. Physiolo gists explain this by suggesting that the side to the dark grows more quickly than that exposed to the light. There remains, however, the fact that the plant has reacted to the light of whose effect it was conscious. A sense common to many plants is that of touch. Of this the most illus trative example is, as ita name, im plies. the sensitive plant. Another leaf, responsive to the touch, is the catch-fly, whose two halves close down upon the other by means of a central hinge. ? Harper's Weekly. On Life's Road. All our weariness of suffering la without avail to leave even a little memory among those for whom the work Is done. All that ia wrought In despair, all that is loveless and me chanical, falls to the ground. We live for even so much as a brief life only tn that which carries the breath of | our being, the love of our heart. It ia not in ceaseless routine and grinding that we live, nor In what IS. Small and anxious. Machines will continue the tale of that forever. No cog will ever be missed in that endleaa chain.
