"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 have su<_ diverse effects on people of your temp?ament ?

We went to the *iatinee the other day, and midway * the per formance I heard from her i gasp of delight. She grasped her rit*,t arm with her left hand and rubbed th g^n vigorously for a moment or two. :hen the hopeless, homesick look settled -,n her face again and she sighed. "I thought for a moment I was oui home again," she said wistfully. "What made you think so," I asked. "Oh." said she. "It was only for a moment. It wasn't really true; but. just for a moment I was sure 1 felt a ilea."?Washington Post. \ V JHisceUancous grading. ca ? v 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." OFFICIAL POPULAR VOTE. Bryan Lost 144,479 and McKinley Galnei 118,493. Returns from the 45 states of th< Union, gathered from official sources show that President MeKinley's defea of Bryan was far greater than in 1896 when his plurality was only 601,854. Ii 1900 the Republican plurality over Bry anism was 864,816. In 1896 Mr. McKin ley's majority of the total vote of 13, 92^,378 was 286,180. This year it is 479, 264 of a total of 13,967,280. Bryan's popular vote for this yeai was 6,358,446, a falling off over 1896 when his popular vote was 6,502,925, o 144,479. Mr. McKinley's popular vote in 189* was 7,104,779, and this year it is 7,223, 272, an increase of 118,493.

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. $cofwsioital djards.
