EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER Oct 6th, 1909.V When Waking Up. _ Here 43 a blt of information it will ' pay yon to keep ready for reference, though you will perhaps turn up your nose at lt. at the first reading: "How .to wake np and wake up fully, and quickly. Most people prefer not to wake up In the morning-that ls, they think of the pleasure there would be In jnst fire minutes' more of sleep If only, that alarm clock bad not sound ed its warning. Of course you hove to get up, and if there Is really any thing that will make the job easier and more pleasant you will want to know about it. Doctors have long ago agreed that dullness on first awakening in the morning is due to sluggish circu lation of the Blood in the brain. This can be quickly overcome by massaging the neck in tbe neighborhood of the jugular vein, thus stirring the blood ? to life and action. . Rub your neck well on both sides and drowsiness will leave you. Try it."-New York Times. Happy Either Way. The old Duke of Norfolk, who was a very shabby dresser, mei: a. privileged friend in Bond street, London. Said the privileged friend, a military* man . of the premier duke's own age: "Why, v. dake, whafs come to your clothes? You look as If you had raked over your rag bag to find them!" The duke replied, with a shrug: "What does it matter what I wear he^e? No one knows mer' A few months later the same friend, himself always ? well dressed man, met the duke again, pot tering about in the- neighborhopd of Arundel, the delightful Snssex village under a hill crowned by the castle from whose' name the eld .-st son of a Duke of Norfolk always -takes his "courtesy" title-Earl of Arundel. 'iWhy, duke," said his friend again. "what's the matter with your clothes?" .The duke shrugged his shoulders again. "What does it matter what I wear here? Every one knows mer* German Lotteries. . In an article on the lotteries the Ber liner Tageblatt says there are tbrfee . ways by which wealth ls acquired-by work, which ls long and tedious; by dishonesty, which is a precarious pro ceeding, and by gambling. The num ber of persons who prefer the last named method, says the writer; is large in the German realm, for there the great lotteries thrive test There are seven of these" under the manage ment of the government and they dis tribute $160,000,000 in prizes. The anx iety to secure a part of this amount has destroyed the happiness of thou sands of households and has diverted thousands - of good men from h?hest Industry and thrift to Idleness and poverty. In the seven, lotteries there are-about 22,000 winners a year, but of (hese only abont 650 receive prizes of more thru LOOO marks each. How tho Culprit Was Detected. Of. a certain Harrow tnastec,. whom ' Mr; ToUeinache in hi3 reminiscences refers to as Mr. Y. the following story ls told. Dr. Vaughan wa3 roaster of Harrow av the time: "jir. Y.-I am sorry. Dr. Vaughan, to have to report to you two of your 'monitors for drinking. Dr. V.-This is a very serious charge. When and where did It happen? Mr. Y.-This afternoon In a public house In Pinner. Dr. V.-Did you catch them flagrante delicto? Mr. Y.-No, Dr. Vaughan, I / was 4n my study. Dr. V.-But surely you'cannot possibly-'have seen from your study to Pinner? Mr. Y.-I have a strong telescope, Dr. Vaughan. DP. "V.-But how can you tell that it was not water they were drinking? Mr. Y. -It was gin and water. I noticed a sediment of sugar at the bottom of their glasses. , Between Tears and Laughter. "Do you ever think. George, dear," said she. and her voice was soft and low, as befitted the perfect beauty of the night, "do you ever think how closely true happiness Is allied witb tears?" "I don't believe I ever do." admitted ' George dear, "but I will, if you like." "Yes," she went on, gazing up into his face, and her Hps were very close to his, "when one Is truly and wholly happy, George, dear, there is but little to divide a smile and a tear." "Weih that's a fact,"- assented George dear. "But I never thought of it before. After all, there's nothing but the nose."-London Answers. A Ono Sided Complaint. "This is the seventeenth time I Ve seen you before me in the dock," said . a magistrate, looking at a prisoner sternly. "Yes. For eight years now I've seen you sitting in the chair, but I've never thought of complaining about it!" re plied the prisoner reproachfully.-Lon don Telegraph. Mixed Praise. Customer-Why, I thought you call ed him "the colt?" Ostler-Sure, yer honor, and that's the name be's bad for the last twenty years, and he .Sticks to it like a respectable baste, the same as yourself.-London Punch. Then She'll Tell You.. , "Tell me," said the lovesick youth, "what's the best way to find out what a woman thinks of you." "Marry her," . replied Peckham . promptly.-Philadelphia Press, The Cause. Wife-What was, the matter? I thought you would break down the house. Husband-I dreamed 1 was trying to put on my clothes In the up per berth of a Pullman.-Life.

Sierra Leone-known to lanie as "the white man's grave"-viewed from the deck of an incoming steamer presents ?, an appearance distinctly attractive. As .to climate, the sobriquet "white man's grave" is sufficiently instructive.1- Suf fice lt, to say that th? Ural of the daily regimental orders ran thus: "Funeral parade at 6*50 a. m. tomorrow," and it was seldom indeed that the parade was dismissed for lack of a victim to the pestiferous climatic conditions. I Indeed, so arduous became the duties of sepulcher that whereas lt was cus tomary in the beginning for the entire regiment and band to. attend, only .the company pf the deceased and thc firing.

The most deadly of all per haps is the yellow jack, a beautiful yellow and black reptile, whose bite is reputed to prove fatal within a space of twenty minutes.-Westchester Coun ty Magazine. What li It, a Lobster? That the .methods of public school instruction as applied in one city at; least do not always meet the approba tion of the parents' of the pupils was evidenced when a Jerman man whose bristly blond hair was standing per fectly erect with anger strode into a Baltimore school one day and, ap proaching Ihe principal, demanded: "Vot ls it, a lobster?" ' The principal explained in his suav est tone that a lobster was a species of shellfish. "How many legs has it-der lob ster?" The number of legs was promptly stated, "Look here," exclaimed the Irritate^ Teuton, "I vork for me in a big hurry,, mid If your teacher he cannot find petter dings to,ask my boy Herman how many legs has it, a lobster, und make hun come home to Dodder bis fadder mit questions, "What is it, a lobster? lt ls pad, business!"-Lippin cott's. { Saved His Rupees. - During a great flood at Haidarabad a native banker, overtaken by the sud den rush of water, made his way on to a mound, where he was quickly iso lated. The water rose, and the bank er's leg3 were covered to his knees: "Fifty rupees (about ?3 7B;), 50 rupees," he shouted, **'to any one who will save me!" When the water reached his shoulder he was shouting, "One thou sand rupees!" When enveloped to his neck, with death starinp him in the face, he yelled);'*Help, help! All that I have will I give to .any one to save me!" Shortly after the water began to recede. When once more. he was covered only to his knee? an offer of rescue came. But the banker, pluck ing up his courage, cried: "Keep off! Keep off! I will not give a rupee!" j and1 succeeded in making his escape free of charge.-St. James' Gazette. ? Origin of "Bonfive." Stow,. referring to the "boneflers" which the citizens of London were wont to make in the streets on "the vigiles of festinan dayes and on the same festiuall dayes in fae euenings after the sunne setting evwry man be- j stowing wood or labour towards. them" and which were an occasion of feasting and merriment,' snySf that "these were, called boneflers as well of good amitie amongst neighbours, that, being before at controuersie, were there by the labours of others, recon ciled, and made of bitter enemies, louing friendes, as also for the vertue that a great fire hath to purge the in fection of tbj.jyrr."-Loudon G'pbe.

Turquoises are the' favorite stones o? ?ajl the Mongol races and are generally worn In their original state except by the Chinese wofnen, who, have them roughly cut and wear them mixed w th pearls and coral. Both the Tibetan men and women ornament themselves; with lump ?turquoises, the men wear ing them attached to their single geld earrings, which are. Worn in the -right ear only. The w?.nien of Ladakh carry th^lr fortunes on their heads In the shajie of a broad strip of red cloth- studded with huge turquoises, which, starting from the forehead, ls carried over tl ur head and hangs nearly to the waist. By the Ladakhls those turquoises are preferred that have little black specks on them, which show their genhin? ness, for even in the wilds of ^centrid Asia the spotless blue composition emanating from Europe is, offered for sale, the bazaar at Darjeeling bein ? flooded with lt. The Bhutia women In the Darjeeling district wear quaint brass ornaments covered with chip turquoises, which are cheap, but' the Mongolians h?ve the embossed silver plates which form such a becoming headgear studded with really flue turquoises, for which, the owners have to give valuable ran' in exchange.-Cornhill Magazine. Men, Women and Bundles. . "Wrap them up separately," said the woman at the counter, "and not in one big package." And then, still speaking to the clerk, though obviously for the benefit of others within bearing, she went.on: ?? - "It looks better to carry a ?ot of little bundles than one big one, and it's easier too. You can pack them In handily between one arm and the body j and leave the other arm free. Now, if all these things were in one big package I would have to use both' hands lo it or run the risk of drop ping it." So saying she stowed her purchases deftly ?lo?g her left side, keeping them in place with her arm, and de parted. ? man who had heard her looked Incredulous and when his turn at the counter came had all his pack |7es made Info one big bundle and ked securely. As he slipped his fin gers under the cord and lifted the bun dle off the counter he remarked: - - ' "This ls my way. If all these things were In separate packages I'd lose half of them before going a block."-New York Sun. Considerate Parent. 4 "What are you doing these days?" "I have joined the sons' of rest." "How can you do It?" "By having a father who didn't" The Devilfish In Aotion. A naturalist who observed devil fishes in action says that be thought no more, diabolical creature could be Imagined. They resembled enormous bats and' in following one another around in a circle raised the outer tip of one of the long wiuglike fins blgb out of the water In a graceful curve, the other being deeply submerged. They might be seen now gliding down with a flying motion of the wings, sweeping, gyrating upward with a twisting vertical motion marvelous in its perfect grace; now they flashed white, again black, sojhat one would say they were rolling over and over, turning somersaults. While swimming along tlie two great arms or feelers of the devilfish are whirled about in constant motion, like the tentacles- of a squid. Wfc.eu these tentacles come in contact with anything they close upon it. It Is generally believed that this clasping, although at times doing considerable harm to fishermen and their boats, is largely automatic and that, upon the whole, the devilfish is timid rather than a fighter. -,.>:.! . . - .'/.?Cl?.!'; .. v ..'?'. with a large stock arid Gents Furnish - )w you the swellest suits in all the lat o you to know that itter Looking, RI??
