Trolley Lines on Paper. 1 A new trolley line has just been completed from Spartan burg to Aiken.

Y.. writes: "About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been, entirely cured of a severe kidney trou ble by taking less than two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick dust sediment, and pain and symptoms of kidney disease 4 disappeared. I am glad to say that I I have never had a return~of any .f those symptoms during the four years that a have els.psed and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffer ing from kidney or bladder trouble." McMaster Co. Genesis of Cotton The first planting of cotton seed in the colonies was in the Carolinas in the year 1621; when, seeds weres.planted as an experi- t ment in a garden. Winthrop I says that in 1643 "'men fell to manufacture of cotton, whereof we have great stores from Bar bados." In 1736 it was culti vated in the garden along. Chesa-r peake bay, especially in the vicin ity of Baltimore, and at the Rev- I olution it was a garden plant in ~ w Jorn.ey and New York, but its ical value seems to have been aimo,t u: known to the planterse until about 17S0.

In the early days of the last century lir Walter Scott, writing from London D a friend in Edinburgh, said, "There a a fool here who is trying to light the Ity with smoke." Sir Walter's '-smoke" vas not a human invention. Ac2umu ations of gas from coal beds found heir way to the .surface anl, being Lighly inflammable, attr eted the at ention of men who erected altara over hem, and their perpetual fires were ledlcated to the gods. For thousands of years the Chinese have spegulated Lpen the meaning of the naturm.1 gas rhich has escaped abundantly from he earth in several provinces. Ii 1726 )r. Hales informed chemists that by Listilling a few grains of coal he had obtained an equal number of cubic nehes of "inflammable air" and that if ttempted on a large scale millions pon millions of cuSie feet of that val. table substance could be made and onveyed unseen along the highways f the land and become the means for btaining perpetual day. In 1S13 Sir Walter's "smoke" was burned on Nestminster bridge in London, and ne year later the streets of St. M arga 'ets, Westminster, enjoyed Illumina ion from gas, it being the first parish ontracting for such a luxury. VIOLIN MOODS. Ittle Things That Make an Instra nent Lose Its Tone. Some obscure but definite change akes place in the material of the body f a violin through the vibyations of he music produced, and it is very pos lible that some stages of this change re detrimental to the tone. The style f playing is said to influence the hange, and rest checks It. The maturing of a violin has been ompared with the growth of a child rho progressively increases in wiadomn nd stature, but has stages of weak Less due to the irregular development if parts. The tone of an instrument is, also p-avely influenced by the setting up of he movable parts, the sound post, the trings, the bridge and even the pEgs. Many Instruments lose much of their ower or sweetness if the sound post a altered a fractional amount from its est position and angle, if the bridge is aelined a little more or less or shifted >r If the strings are not exactly suited a the violin. Some instruments p:efer ne piteh and others another, ani all rary with the weather. In addition to his the best players have moods when hey cannot play, and the Instrument * often blamed for these. CROS&ING THE BAR. Llmost AU Deaths, Are PraciMeally Without Physical Pain. Death nearly always ensues from essation of the heart's action, what ver it may be that eauses it to utop. Llmost the oftly exception to this rule SIn the case of poisoning with prussic tedd, where the whole body becomes ead before the heart ceases to beat. It Is scientideally certain that al nost all deaths, even those that are eemingly most agonizing, are practi ally without pain. The fear of ex inction may cause mental agitation montng to pain while consciousniess ists, but that Is quite another thing. n death by burning pain ceases at an arny stage by muffocation, while a an killed by a gunshot wound prob bly does not know that he has teen it, the action of the bullet being more apid than the message to the bmain unnouncing It. For this reason wound d men sometimes drop without know ng why. In chest dses pain is relieved by ffocation at the death moment, and n fevers the nervous system becomes epressed to such utter apathy as to aduce quite a painless end. He Could Write. Edmaond Rostand, the great French rrter, was on one occasion the hero if an amusing episode. During a visit oa ILfriend in the country M. Rostand ran requested to accompany him to he mairie in order to register the tiend's newborn Infant. The adjunct if the mairie, a conscientious litle nan, booked the infant and then ttrn d to M. Rostand as the first witness. Your name, sir?" "Edmond Rostand." our vocation?" "Man of letters and somber of the French academy." 'Very well," replied the official. "You ave to sign your name. Can you mite? If not you may make a cross." It Came Pretty Slow. A young man once took a sack of orn to an old fashioned mill to have tground into meal. The mill was fear. ully slow, only a tiny stream of meal. rickling out. At last the young man ecame impatient and complained to he miller. "Do you know," he said, 'I could eat that meal faster than yo'ur Ild mill can grind It." "Yes," repled he miller, "but how long could you eep on eating it?" "Until I starved," ras the conclusive answer of the 'oung man. "There's one curious thing about dis overing places," said Johnny. "Take termuda, for instance. It was dis overed by a man named Bermudrz. low he happened to stumble on a lace with a name just ise his beats The Realisation. "Hear you've been speculating, old aan. What did you reslize?"
