SINFUL TO BET ON CERTAINTY.
"Woman," remarked Mr. Gooseling,
of Georgetown, "is heaven's best gift
to man; but whether it means a married
woman or not, I am not so certain.
"Now, there's my wife. I've known a
good many women in my time, and I
don't think I'd be willing to change her
for any woman I ever met, saw or
heard of. We've been married 20 years,
and in all that time we've never had a
cross word that we didn't get disposed
of somehow before we had many more.
It's the only way to get along with a
woman. I'd rather yield a dozen times
a day than to eat the kind of a meal
my wife can have brought on the table
when she's a mind to. I am willing
to make as many concessions as the
next man, but I really think there is a
limit that any reasonable woman ought
to observe. Not that my wife is not as
reasonable as any other married woman,
mind you, for she is. But there
are times when she makes me doubt
the strict accuracy of the time-honored
maxim I have quoted. Now, for instance,
the other day I was doing
something or other around the house,
like a man has a right to do on his own
premises, and, just as men sometimes
do, I put my finger where I had no business
to put it, and hit it a lick with the
hammer.
" 'Well,' I said to myself, though my
^ovife was sewing by the window on the
other side of the room, 'I'll bet I'm the
biggest darn fool in ten states.'
"All of which I had a perfect right to
say, but my wife looks up from her
fl^^H^^vork, and says she:
|^^^HH|^^|William, don't you know enough
the ethics of gambling to know
have no right to bet on cer^^^^^^^That's
what she said, and under
the circumstances what on earth could
I say but nothing, and that's what
I said. But I hit that nail a lick
with the hammer that drove it clear in
over its head, and broke a pane of
glass that cost a dollar to replace."?
Washington Star.
TIMES TOO RAPID.
From a sense of duty the newly married
youi% man spent Sunday with his
father-in-law, intelligent, wealthy and
set in his ways.
"Never put in natural gas for heating
purposes, hey?" from the son-in-law,
as they were looking over the house.
"No, sir," emphatically. "I was raised
in the coal regions of Pennsylvania.
My folks always burned coal and I always
will. That and wood are the original
and proper fuels."
"No electricity, either?"
"I should say not. This whole electrical
business is wrong. It is helping
to make the world too fast and too
nervous. My father got rich without
the telephone or the telegraph and I've
done the same. I'm not going through
? not what do you suppose nature created'
horses for? Do you suppose it is
for us poor mortals to nullify or impair
the great scheme of the universe.
I won't allow a rubber tire on a wheel
that Wongs in my _ barn and Wa
horse of mine is eve ,-*?gled
shoe. I'm against all this njlan th&t
frippery and against e^comUig to u
endorses it. Things^ way I look at
pretty pass; that
w Is it, father?"
"Whatast 3."
' my, I have 3:02."
What! Standard time? See here,
young man, if ever you hope to have
any help from me while I'm alive, or
to get any of my property after I'm
gone, set that watch ahead to sun
time and keep it there. I'm going to
do what I can to keep running this
world by the sun, despite railroads,
steamboats, factories, business men,
and all the rest of the monomaniacs on
the subject of reform and progress.
Set her ahead, and just remember that
I mean what I say."?Detroit Free
Press.
Brought to Reason.?He was out
walking with a young lady who had a
decided antipathy to cigarettes; but not
being aware of the prejudice he lighted
one of the little rolls and began smoking
with great gusto, inhaling the
fumes deep into his lungs and then
blowing great rings up at the moon,
which gazed tranquilly down on his
folly, says the Memphis Scimitar.
Offended by his presumption, she
said with dangerous urbanity:
"Do you know I can read fortunes in
cigarette smoke?"
"Indeed!" exclaimed the unsuspecting
youth; "perhaps you'l! condescend
to read mine."
"Oh, certainly, if you wish it."
Then she gazed up in the air at the
delicate blue wreaths of smoke. She
hesitated, evidently puzzled about
something.
"I am undecided which of two things
is to befall you," she admitted, "your
fortune is not so easily read as I fanned
it would be."
"What are the two things?"
"'rhy, I can't decide whether you
are Hrked out for lung disease or lunacy,
was the answer. "Ciearettes I

ANDREW CARNEGIE ON THRIFT. a
v
He Says Expenses Should Always Be Less ?
Than Income. t
Andrew Carnegie wrote for the Dun- y
dee (Scotland) People's Journal the fol- a
lowing article, which was headed, h
"Thrift Is a Duty?The Duties of Rich e
Men." e
The importance of the subject is sug- o
gested by the fact that the habit of
thrift constitutes one of the greatest
differences between the savage and the
man. One of the fundamental
differences between savage and civiliz- *
ed life is the absence of thrift in the
one and its presence in the other.
When millions of men each save a little
of their daily earnings these petty P
sums combined make an enormous e
amount, which is called capital, about a
which so much is written. If men 1
consumed each ddy or each week all t
that they earned, as does the savage, t
of course there could be no capital; ^
that is no savings laid up for future r
use. Now, let us see what capital does C
in the world. We will consider what t
the shipbuilders do when they have to t
build great ships. These enterprising a
companies offer to build an ocean greyhound
for, let us say, ?500,000, to be c
paid only when the ship is delivered t
after satisfactory trial trips. Where *
and how do the shipbuilders get this *
sum of money to pay the workmen, the '
wood merchant, the steel manufactu- (
rer and all the people who furnish ma- r
terial for the building of that ship? ?
They get it from the savings of civil- 1
ized men. It is part of the money sav- i
ed for investment by the millions of in- J
dustrious people. Each man by thrift 1
saves a little, puts the money in a I
bank, and the banks lend it to the ship- <
builder, who pays interest for the use
of it. It is the same with the buildin?
a manufactory, a railroad, a ca- I
nal, or anything: costly; we could not '
have anything more than the savage 1
had except for thrift. Hence, thrift Is 1
at the bottom of all Improvement. :
Without It no railroads, no canals, no 1
ships, no telegraphs, no churches, no '
newspapers, nothing great or costly '
could we have. Man must exercise 1
thrift and save before he can produce 1
anything material of great value.
There was nothing built, no great prog- 1
ress made, as long as man remained a
thriftless savage. The civilized man 1
has no clearer duty than from early
life to keep steadily in view the neces- '
sity for providing for the future of
himself and of those dependent upon
him. There are few rules more salu- I
tary than that which has been followed 1
by most wise and good men, namely,
"that expenses should always be less
than income." In other words, one
should be a civilized man, saving something,
and not a savage, consuming
every day all that which he has earned.
The great poet Burns, in his advice
catch Dame Fortune's gold^TS^r..
Assiaious wait uporr i,or, smile,
And gather gear by every wile
That's Justified by honor;
l*ot for to hide it in a hedge,
t> V??or a trained attendant;
1 - V\ the glorious privilege
of oeint, independent.
That is soOtk. advice, so far as it
goes, and I hope readers of the
People's Journal will take it to heart
and adopt it. No proud, self-respecting
person can ever be happy, or even
satisfies, who has to be dependent upon
others for his necessary wants. He
who is dependent has not reached the
full measure of manhooa and can hardly
be counted among the worthy citizens
of the republic. The safety and
progress of our country depend, not
upon the highly educated man, or the
few millionaires, or upon the greater
number of the extreme poor; but upon
the mass of sober, Intelligent, industrious
and saving workers who are
neither very rich nor very poor. As a
rule, you will find that the saving man
is a temperate man, a good husband
and father, a peaceful, law-abiding citizen.
Nor need the savings be great.
It is surprising how little it takes to
provide for the real necessaries of life
A little home paid for and a few hun
dred pounds?a very few?make all the
difference. These are more easily acquired
by frugal people than you might
suppose. Great wealth Is quite another
and a far less desirable matter. It Is 1
not the aim of thrift or the duty of i
men to acquire millions. It is in no
respect a virtue to set this before us as
an end. Duty to save ends when Just
enough money has been put aside to
provide comfortably for those dependent
upon us. Hoarding billions is avarice,
not thrift. Of course, under our
industrial conditions, it is Inevitable
that a few, a very few, will find money
coming to them far beyond their wants.
The accumulation of millions is usually
the result of enterprise and judgment,
and some exceptional ability or
organization. It does not come from
savings, in the ordinary sense of tha't
word. Men who In old age strive only
to increase their already too great t
hoards, are usually slaves to the habit t
of hoarding formed in their youth. At 1
first they own the money they have ?
made and saved. Later in life the
money owns them and they cannot help i
themselves, so overpowering is the <
force of habit, either for good or evil, t
It is the abuse of the civilized saving t
instinct, and not in its use, that pro- t
duces this class of men. No one need 1
be afraid of falling a victim to this t
abuse of the habit if he always bears t
in mind that, whatever surplus wealth c
may come to him is to be regarded as a o
sacred trust, which he is bound to ad- t
minister for the good of his fellows, o
The man should always be master. He v
should keep money in the position of
a useful servant; he must never let it c
be a master and make a miser of him. e
A man's first duty is to make a compe- n
tence and be independent. But his b
whole duty does not end here. It is his tl
duty to do something for his needy n
neighbors who are less favored than f
himself. It is his duty to contribute d
to the general good of the community in h
which he lives. He has been protected u
y its law; because he has been pro- o:
tfc-ted in his various enterprises he has
bee enabled to make money sufficient ji
for h? needs and those of his family: ir
All bey n(j this belongs in justice to the a
protectin, pQwer that has fostered him ct
\
\ /
nd enabled him to win pecuniary sucess.
To try to make the world in some
:ay better than you found it is to have
noble motive In life. Your surplus
,'ealth should contribute to the develpment
of your own character and
lace you in the ranks of nature's nolemen.
It is no less than a duty for
ou to understand how important it is,
nd how clear your duty is, to form the
abit of thrift. When you begin to
arn always save some part of your
arnings like a civilized man instead
f spending all, like the poor savage.
COFFEE IN ARAB STYLE.
Function at the House of a Sheikh Not Exposed
to Foreign Influences.
This account of coffee drinking as
iracticed by Arabs who have not been
vrinnsd to fnreicm influence is told by
, British naval officer of high rank.
?he place was the town of Semail, in
he territory of the Sultan of Oman, at
he extreme southeastern corner of the
trablan penslnsular. Semail lies 120
niles from Muscat, the capital of
)man, and 90 miles from the sea. At
he time of this visit there had been
>ut two other Europeans in Semail In
.11 its history.
"An Arab town," said the naval offl:er,
"Is scarcely what is suggested by
he English meaning of the word. It is
nore a collection of detached houses,
:ach surrounded by its own grounds of
rom 30 to 100 acres. As my travels in
)man were conducted under the imnediate
protection of the sultan, and
is he had provided for my special use
lis own particular riding camel, I was
eceived everywhere with great respect.
Vly reception at the house of one of
;he principal sheikhs of Semail took
ilace on the second day of my visit to
:he town, when I paid a call upon Monamed
b'in Naser el Hinawy.
"Arriving at a large archway in a
:ong dead wall, forming one side of the
louse, I found the arch sufficiently
ilgh to admit us on camelback. At
the outer arch I found Mohamed bin
Naser waiting to receive me. Riding
through the large gateway through a
smaller portal beyond, we found ourselves
in a large quadrangle shaded
with acacia trees and with a fountain
In the centre. Crossing the quadrangle
we scaled a flight of steps to the door
of a large room, 40 feet long, 30 feet
wide and 15 feet high. At the end of
the room, on the right hand of the door,
was the principal seat or divan of honor.
"In accordance with Moslem custom
I pronounced the name of God on crossing
the threshold, and while being conducted
to the divan by my courteous
host, gave the salutation 'Es salaam
aleikum,' the salutation of peace to the
assembled company. A beautiful carpet
of Persian work and a pillow covered
with embroidered silk were ready
for my reception. Putting off my shoes
at the edge of the carpet, and after a
short but ceremonious dispute with my
host as to who should sit down first, I
was established on the carpet with the
Koolr Jf>f nmnfnrtp hip
support.
"Close to the seat of the host and a
little to the left, was a small raised
platform of stone, on which were placed
the requisite utensils for preparing
coffee. A small charcoal Are, urged to
a white heat by means of a pair of
bellows, provided tne boiling water.
On either side of the Are were two
large jugs or some wnite metai as wen
as several smaller ones. On a shelf
near by were several zarfs and flngans.
The zarf Is the holder for the coffee
cup, and those on the shelf were of various
metals, some of gold, beautifully
worked, some of silver, and some even
of copper. The flngan Is a coffee cup
without a handle and holding about as
much as a tlquer glass; these were of
china and porct-ialn of different design
and value.
"The coffee maker was a black slave
said to^have come from the frontier of
Abysslnla>-i?gseemed to be about 2a,
or slight and grStosfcdform, with finely
cut features and welY*>m<yilded limbs,
quite black and with hair alrnbsc^oolly.
His costume consisted of colo?&a.
cotton supported around the waist by
a piece of cord tucked up on one side,
and a sort of embroidered waistcoat
buttoned In front, but leaving arms
and legs bare.
"It is not In accordance with desert
etiquette to introduce for discussion
any serious matter until after coffee
has been served, so that the conversation
consists almost entirely of general
topics and the interchange of compliments.
While this very small talk
Is gravely going on the slave, having
first let down his waistcoat so that it
hangs down below his knees, passes
around among the company with a
3mall straw mat in one hand, a mat
made of various colored grasses and
about the size of a desert plate. In the
ather hand he carries a cylindrical
?rass box, from which he pours coffee
oerries upon the grass mat. All berdes
which are not of the right color
ae picks out and throws away or re:urns
to the box. Without any osten;ation
he manages to call to your at;entlon
the fact that the berries he has
jelected are all of the best.
"Then pouring the berries from the
mat into an iron ladle, he roasts them
>ver the charcoal fire, which he blows
;o a white heat with the bellows. Cofee
berries in Oman are never roasted
o that dark brown of black color which
s common in Europe and America;
>ut are considered at their best when
hey take on a rich reddish brown col>r.
Turning the roasted berries out
in the grass mat to cool, Abdullah, for
hat is the name of the slave, sets one
if the large metal jugs on the fire to
varm
"The coffee Is not ground in a mahine,
for that would waste all its fine
ssential oil, but is pounded up in a
mortar made of dark and hard basalt
laving a deep narrow well, into which
he berries are poured. Taking the
nortar between his knees, Abdullah
orces the pestle into the well and
own upon the roasted berries which i
e slowly crushes into a fine grit, of
r'hicb every particle is about the size i
f small seed pearls or mustard seed.
"By this time the water in the large 1
jg on the fire is nearly boiling. Fill- 1
15 one of the smaller jugs with the 1
[most boiling water, he throws in the i
ushed coffee and allows It to boil j
for a short time, stirring it all the time
with a stick. Then placing on a brass
tray the best zarfs and flngans. the
slave Alls the cups with the infusion,
keeping the grounds in the jug by
means of a piece of bark held over its
spout. Handing the tray to the most
honored guest, he says 'Semmoo,'
which means 'Pronounce the name of
God.'
"Taking the cup from the trap and
looking at his host the honored guest
pronounces the great formula of Mohammedanism
In the words 'Blsmillah
ur rahman ur-rahim,' which means 'In
the name of God the compassionate
and merciful.' Then the guest sips his
coffee without sugar or milk, but sometimes
a few aromatic seeds of ambergris
may be added. If the guest is of
very high rank the host takes his own
cup immediately after the guest, but
under ordinary circumstances he waits
until all the company has been served.
After the coffee has been served the
conversation becomes important and at
times very confidential.
"Coffee drinking may take place
many times a day, even if no stranger
arrives. It is generally brought on in
celebration of a friend who has not
called before that day, and it is always
provided on the arrival of any stranger
from a distance. The ceremony is always
carried out in the kawah or large
coffee room when any distinguished
guest is to be honored; but under ordinary
circumstances it may be performed
under the shade of an almond
or in any other shady part of the courtyard.
As the Arabs have supplied European
nations with this great stimulant,
so have they given it its name,
for coffee and similar words in othei
languages are but the attempt to reproduce
the Arabic name 'gahwe,
which means strength."

The "Coke" Habit.?A report comei
from Atlanta that among the NegToei
cocaine is being extensively used as i
substitute for liquor. A preparation o:
the drug In the form of a powder, whicl
can be inhaled through the nose, thus
rendering unnecessary a hypodermit
syringe, has done much, we are told
to facilitate the use of "coke," as the
Negroes term it. The drug, it is stated
is now used as openly as snuff. Negroes
can be seen at anytime on the
streets, or in the police court, snuffing
the white powder. A few drug stores
are growing rich selling cocaine In 10cent
boxes. Less than 10 cents' worth
is not sold, continues the report, and
as the law only requires that the druggists
register the purchasers and place
a number "on the box, the druggists do
not violate the law. One result of the
use of the drug, it is noticed, is to lessen
the demand for poor liquor, and
this makes matters easier for the police,
as a cocaine indulger is quiet and
inoffensive.
In the same connection it is stated
that New Orleans Negroes are in large
numbers becoming: victims of cocaine
which they buy very cheap. The use
of the drug not only undermines the
health, but it is said to be a fruitful
cause of insanity. It would appear
that the laws of Georgia and Louisiana
governing the drug trade in those two
states, need rigid revision.?Richmond
Dispatch.
Child Labor In Mills.?Columbia
dispatch to New York Sun: The question
of child labor in factories in South
Carolina is being vigorously agitated,
and when the legislature meets next
month a bill to prohibit the employment
of children less than 1:2 years old
will be introduced. Such a measure
was defeated last year, the manufacturers
bringing strong pressure to bear,
aut the legislature to meet next month
s composed largely of new men. The
iromise made last year that the mill
men of North and South Carolina
would reach an agreement not to employ
children, has not been kept. Children
as young as 7, and some perhaps
of 6 years, are working in the mills.
They spend the entire time from daylight
to dark wffhin the factories. As
a result the last report of the superintendent
of education shows that the increase
in the number of colored children
going to public schools in the past
year was more than three times that of
the whites, and that 30,000 more Negroes
are being educated in the public
schools than whites. The preachers
are working for the abolition of child
labor. They say they can make no impression
on factory populations unless
they can reach the children, and where
these-are tied up in mills they can do
nothing. The argument of mill owners
in the state against the age limit is
that if child labor is prohibited in this
state and allowed in North Carolina,
large families will leave South Carolina
mills, going where there is a demand
for the labor of children.
