Telephones and Travel.
Richmond Times.
Telephones are beginning to make
their value felt in an interesting and
striking way. Recent stock market
gossip has it that the hotels and railroads
in the West are complaining of
#11 Jt
the loss of business wincn 18 ionoweu
as a direct result of the use being
made of long distance telephones.
The people are beginning to make
rise of the phrase "Don't travel.
Telephone," and so the passenger
traffic between St. Louis and Chicago
and between Boston and New York
is showing a diminution which is
being attributed to the u e of the
telephone. This is another example
of bow much our lives have been
widened by the field of science and
. the power of invention. A man is
now able to keep himself in touchy
with more interests and more people
than four of his grandfathers could
have done. And, as a consequence,
life has been filled oat and widened
just that much more. With the per
fection of rapid transit, which will
ffect a still further eaving in time,
life will be still more enriched and
lengthened by giving us more time
for such work as we most prefer.
Blown To Atomas.
The old idea that the body sometimes
needs a powerful, drastic purgative
pill has been exploded; for Dr. King's
.New Life Pill9, which are perfectly
harmless, gently stimulate liver and
bowels to expel poisonous matter,
cleanse the system and absolutely
cure Constipation and Sick Headache.
Only 25c at J. E. KaufmaDn's drug
store.
Convicted of Assault.
AndersoD, S. C., February 12 ?
la the court of general sessions here
today, Judge Gage sentenced Oliver
Greer to be hanged on-March 14th
next for rape. Greer is a young negro
about 18 years old and about the
first week in December criminally assaulted
Miss Beck Ann Kelly, white
woman about 50 years of age, liviDg
near Belton. Lynching parties were
after him but Deputy Sheriff Dillingham
got him first and landed him in
jail. The whole trial here today
lasted only an hour and the jury was
only out ten minutes. The evidence
was full and clear and the prisoner
was identified by his victim. Greer
, had no witnesses but went on the
stand and said be was not the man.
There was no excitemet attending the
trial.

Thirteen Sept Him Back. !
Some people carry their superstitions
to ridiculous extremes. A fus- ]
ey little man crowded into the elevator
car on the ground floor of the
Real Estate Trust building and
hastily ran his eye over the other
passengers. He was counting them,
? J - I J ? "sof
ana 11y li^uvcu a oigu ui ou
when he found that there were twelve.
" The elevator man was just about
to close the door when another man,
who seemed in a great hurry, crowed
in.
The fussy little fellow who bad
been counting noses cried out: "Wait
a minute! Let me off?" He squeezed
his way out, and the car started
upward.
"He makes me tired," remarked the
elevator man. "I've seen him do
that more than once. He's afraid
gf
something will happen if there are
thirteen passengers on at one time."

sweet sauce, fresh water tadpoles,
fried crabs' spawD, sparrows' gizzards,
sheep's eyes stuffed with garlic,
radishes in milk flavored with
apricot kernels, matelotes of holithurias,
bamboo sprouts in sirup
and sweet salads, says The Leisure
Hour.
The last course consisted of pineapplet

Three hours were spent over the
banquet. When it was ended and at
the time when, according to European
usage, salvers of rosewatcr are
frequently handed round, the waiting
maids brought napkins steeped
in warm water, which all the company

Old Marriage Manners.
The French "dot"' comes probably
from the small coin which the
Roman bride brought with her tc
her husband's house.
The modern scramble for the
bride's bouquet comes from a similar
scramble that took place at the
close of the ancient ceremony, when
the guests fought good naturedly
over the white thorn torch that had
been borne in the bridal procession.
The most marked difference between
old and new ideas lies in the
fact that a part of June was forbidden
the Romans as a time for weddings.
From the 1st to the 15th
the month was sacred *o Vesta, and
Ji(J mill i niiv; pciiuittLUj cn
though Vesta herself was the goddess
of domesticity. May, too, was
prohibited, an(| this is thought to
be the reason why May marriages
still are considered unlucky. Ko:
man belief and customs forbade the
ceremony also from the 13th to the
24th of February, from the 1st to
the 6th of March, on the 24th of
August, the 5th of October and the
6th of November, three days when
hades was supposed to be particularly
wide open.
The Last Heard Of It.
"My little boy took the croup one
night and soon grew so bad you
could hear him breathe all over the
bouse," says F. D. Reynolds, Mansfield,
0. "We feared he would die,
but a few doses of One Minute
Cough Cure quickly relieved him and
he went to sleep. That's the last we
beard of the croup. Now isn't a
cough cure like that valuable?" Oie
Minute Cough Cure is absolutely
safe and acts immediately. For
coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis
aod all other throat aDd lung trau1
bles it is a certain cure. Very pleasant
to take. The little ones like it.

Christmas Card Evolution.
The Christmas card dates back to
18-f2, in which year the idea of such
a device occurred to Sir Henry Cole,
who employed the famous artist, J.
C. Horsley, to make the design for
him. Sir Henry gave his idea and
design to a London puDiisner, wno
printed and sold about a thousand
cards. They were lithographed and
then colored by hand. Such was the
small beginning of what is now an
immense business. Every Christmas
cards were put on the market,
but they did not seem to be popular
until 1SG2, when they came suddenly
into favor in England and soon
%/ o
began to be used to a considerable
extent on this side of the water. It
was some years, however, before the
Christmas card achieved in the
United States the great popularity
which it now enjovs. The first
Christmas cards were simple affairs,
those of the earlv sixties being
mostly plain cards bearing the
words "Merry Christmas" or "Happy
Xcw Year" only They soon be
gan to grow in ornateness, however,
and finally arrived at their present
6late.

says another band of brigands
attacked the captors of Miss

I take great pleasure in giving the
very highest testimonial to Dr. j
Baker's Blood and Liver Cure. I
used it in 1895 Inflammatory Rheu- j
mntism. I was severely afflicted j
with the disease and tried my family
physician, in addition to various
remedies, without effect. I procured \
some of the above medicine, and before
usiDg a bottle of it I couid walk
without my crutches, and by the
time I had used a bottle and a half,
I felt entirely well, and have not
suffered any since. I cheerfully recommend
it. and believe it will do !
all its propietors claim for it.

The Earthquake.
To the average resident of the
temperate zones an earthquake is a 1
rare and terrible event, creating !
more consternation than any other
visitation of nature. In the tropics,
however, particularly in Central I
America, it is wonderful how easily ]
the residents become accustomed to
these shocks, which do not come,
however, wholly without warning, i

friends when suddenly the sky seems i
to grow hazy, and the crows stop i

and. though you may not know what ;
is the matter, you cannot help feel- '
ing uneasy.

A Dog's Graveyard.
Edinburgh boasts of the only !
graveyard where canine pets are regularly
interred and their last rest- ;
ing places marked with gravestones.
This old cemetery lies on the north- j
ern face of the Castle Hock, below j
St. Margaret's chapel, in the famous j
old castle of Edinburgh. - It was
founded a long time ago for the ex- !
elusive use of dogs who have been j
pets of the various regiments which j
have been quartered at the castle.
Almost twoscorc dogs have been :
buried in it, and the grave of each :
one is marked, some with stones as

and others merely tinv monuments. !
The cemetery is inclosed by a low j
wall of stone and is always pointed |
out to visitors as the only one of its j
kind in the world.
