Y< * e> Misery Loves Company.?While th strolling one afternoon on the deck of m a steamer a certain Bishop observed th a couple of particularly seasick indi- re viduais. The woman was reclining in oc a big steamer chair and exhibited all st the signs of that utter despair and indifference to life common to such sufferers. At her feet crouched a man, apparently just as ill as the lady herself. . af His head was in tne woman's lap. ex The unhappy couple presented such a 111 woebegone appearance that the good ie ^ er bishop inquired whether ne coum render her any assistance. t0 The lady shook her head sadly, mur- so muring, "No, thank you." th "I am very sorry," added the bishop. m Then, after a moment's pause, he asked: "Then perhaps I can be of service bl co to your husband." St The wretched woman, without so much as moving her head, gave an in- tv different glance in the direction of the ta man whose head was in her lap, and in a tone that betrayed not the least tl( interest in her unfortunate colleague in misery, she replied faintly, "He isn't my husband.

MONAZITE AND ZIRCON. s Two Valuable Mineral Productions of ( the Two Carolirias. c North Carolina and South Carolina .? ' are the only two states hi the country i that furnish monazlte and zircon In 1 commercial quantities. Both minerals i are mined for the rare earth oxides ? they contain, which are used In the manufacture of glowers of electric lamps and mantles for various Incanescent lamps. They are not | i found in the original racks, but in gravel deposits laid down by present and former streams. These gravels ] ' are the result of the disintegration and ! erosion of the crystalline rocks that contained the monazlte. This disintegration Is still going on to such an extent that even after the soils and gravels have been once worked for monazlte they may be rewashed at . the end of a year and prove to be profitable sources of the mineral. In > color monazlte varies from light i yellow, reddish, brownish, and yellowi ish green. It Is lustrous, heavy, but brittle also, breaking with a conchoidI al to uneven fracture. By means of its color and specific gravity It can usu' ally be readily identified. The country's supply of monazite Is obtained from Cherokee and Spartan> burg counties. South Carolina, and . Rutherford, McDowell, Burke, Cleveland and Lincoln counties, North Cari Una. The monazite bearing sand tak. en from the sluice boxes is sometimes ! rewashed by the miners, but usually s it is sold directly to some one of the I companies owning the concentrating plants. The concentrating mills now In operation in the monazite district s are those of the Carolina Monazite company, at Shelby, Cleveland coun! t.v, N. C.. and at Gaffney. Cherokee county, S. C.: that of the Ger man Monazite Company, at Oakspring, > Rutherford County, North Carolina, ! and that of the Incandescent Light ' and Chemical Company, near Carpen' ter's Knob. Cleveland county, N. C. I Occurrences of zircon are not com mon. There is but one locality in the t United States where zircon has thus I far been found in commercial quanti ty. and that is near Zlrconia, Henderson County, North Carolina. The zircons occur in a pegmatitlc dike, which is about 100 feet wide and can be traced for a distance of about lj miles. | Two deposits of zircon crystals have Hoon worked?one near the southwest 1 end of the dike, by the Freeman mine, the other near the northeast end, by the Jones mine. Owing to the slight , demand for this mineral it has never , been systematically mined. Men and , I children are paid a certain price a pound for the zircon crystals. Some , i of them they wash out of the soil, oth> ers out of the kaolinlzed gangue, and i still others they break out by hand ( i from the harder feldspar. The result- | r ing product contains practically 100 f per cent of zircon. I i The total production of monazlte in , i 1903 was 862,000 pounds, valued at ] $64,630, which is an increase of 60,- : i 000 pounds ir quantity and of $370 in ( . value over the production of 802,000 pounds, valued at $64,160, in 1902. ( i This quantity represents the purified ] I sand, which contains from 85 to 99 per ( cent monazlte. The quantity of zirI con obtained in 1903 was 3,000 pounds, . valued at $570. The total production i of these minerals mined for use in i the manufacture of various lamps therefore amounts to 865,000 pounds, r valued at $65,200. A detailed account of the reproduc, tion of these important minerals may be found in a recent report on "The 1 Production of Monazlte and Zircon in , 1903," made by Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt to the United States Geological Sur- 1 - vey. The report is an extract from "Mineral Resources of the United ' States, 1903," and may be obtained free J of charge, on application to the directI or of the survey, Washington, D. C. ' I ' ? ' ST. PIERRE AS IT IS TODAY. < Site of City Destroyed By Mont Pelee ' Still a Barren Desert. Capt. Raye, of the barkentlne Ste- j phen G. Ward of New York, which has j been undergoing repairs at the East ( Providence dry dock recently, came to ( this port from Fort "De France, Mar- j tinlque. While there he went in a 1 small boat to the site of the city of ! St. Pierre, which was wiped out of | existence in a few moments by an I eruption of Mont Pelee on May 4, 1902. ] Capt. Raye had been to St. Pierre a J number of times when the place was : one of the most prosperous ports of ( the West Indies, but this was the first j time he had seen the devastation wrought during the greatest disaster i ( of modern times. Capt. Raye was very J willing to describe the scenes which j he had witnessed when a Journal re porter called on him In his camn on 1 board his barkentlne. He said: > "The city of St. Pierre was located at the base of Mont Pelee, which Is a 1 volcano. It had no harbor, and the > steamers and vessels which used to 1 call there anchored just off the city. 1 ' It used to do a large business In rum ' and molasses, and when I was there j before the eruption it was as pic( turesque a port as there was In the 1 West Indies. All of the houses were j of stone, and it looked like a settle- ] 1 ment made to order, tucked away as < l it was between the bases of two moun- 1 I tains whose sides were covered with , green foliage. < "When I was there a short while t ago there was not a trace of the 30,I 000 people who once lived there except a few human bones which were whitI ening in the sun. The stone buildings are all razed to the ground, and the only signs of vegetation are a few I weeds which are struggling to the sunlight through heaps of debris. . There is absolutely no one living there now except a mounted policeman, who is there to prevent the search of the f ruins for large sums of money supposed to be buried in them. "The great loss of life must have been caused by the intense heat, for I found large glass tumblers in cellars, which were melted together, and some ' of them were twisted out of shape. Down the side of Pelee there is a path i about fifty feet wide, which looks exi actly like an excellent concrete walk, f as viewed from the sea, which is what _ remains of the river of lava which flowed down from the crater to the ie.1. This is to one side of the city. "'Almost all of the steamers which jo from New York to the West Indies iurlng the winter with excursionists itop there and the passengers go ishore to see the place, which once lad a thriving export trade, but which low is as bare and barren as a des:rt."?Providence Journal. WILD BILL'S FIRST FIGHT. He Was Wounded, but Killed Six Members of the McKandlas Gang. Wiid Bill, whose real name was Jas. Hickok, first came west In 1857, and lrove an ox team on the plains for Majors & Russell In 1860. He subsejuently engaged himself to the overand stage company as stock tender ind was put in charge of a new stage station on Rock Creek, near the >ld McKandlas station, which was renerally known as Robber's Roost, rhis was the headquarters for the McKandlas gang, a crowd that had held together since the MissouriKansas border ruffian days and gen;rally had things their own way. A nan named Ficklen, and a number one stage hand, was the superintendent. He tried to buy out the McKandlas station, but falling in this, he built a new one near by, putting young Hlckik in charge. Up to that time he had never experienced trouble with any jne, and was not likely to have friction. especially with the old station keeper, McKandlas, or his men. In the winter of 1860-61 McKandlas and his nephew and four other men passed by the new station on horseback, leading an old man who was itnnt Thw had n rone around the old fellow's neck, and occasionally they would take a few turns around the horn of the saddle, make a run on the rope and Jerk the old man down and drag- him on the ground until tie was nearly dead. The only spite they had against htm was that he was a North Methodist preacher. If Wild Bill was anything he was an Abolitionist and free-soiler, and loyal to the United States. The McKandlas crowd was planning to make a raid on several stations to secure the stock and go South. They told young Hlckok they would take the stock. He replied that he would be there. When they returned late in the evening two stopped at the corral, two went to the front and two to the back door of the cabin or hut. Hickok told them he would snoot the first man who took down the bars of the corral. The elder McKandlas fired at Hickok, but missed him. Hickok returned the fire with a rifle, and shot McKandlas in the heart. The next shot from Hickok killed the nephew, and the two fell at the front door. Just then the two at the back door apened fire. One shot from a double barrelled gun lodged seven full grown buckshot into Hickok's right side and breast,two of which entered his lungs. The two men who stopped at the corral came to the assistance of the two men at the house. Hickok was then in a hand-to-hand fight with four men. He killed three of them in the house, and wounded the other so badly that be died on the prairie.?Denver Field and Farm. WONDERFUL DENTIST. Pulled Two Million Teeth With His Thumb and first finger. There has been much weeping and walling over the death of?a dentist, but there are dentists and dentists, and this one was a Roman favorite. Of immense stature, gowned in the robe of his order, this monk-dentist had established himself on the island In the Tiber, where he did his work in the open air in the little garden attached to his monastery, and for nothing. His favorite instruments were his thumb and first finger. "Let me me see! Is the pain here?" he would say, and before the victim was aware af what was happening a tooth was held up to his view. "I have drawn 2,000,644 teeth," he said shortly before his death, "mostly Roman," he added. "If you do not believe me, look under the table." And there, to be sure, were three large coffers full of teeth. "And that is not ill, by any means. Many of my patients drop them into their pockets as souvenirs." However, his clients were not all humble. He took great pride In showing the photographs of well-known people, who, not being allowed to pay, sent their pictures with autograph signatures. Among these were Leo XIII, and several local celebrities. One lay during the pontificate of Pius IX, hp was called to the Vatican to draw the tooth of a high prelate. The Pope, who had never seen him, had him ealled to his presence, and after some conversation, said: "Dear brother, I 3hould like very much to have a tooth pulled by you?" "Oh! Holy Father!" "But it is impossible." "Oh! Why?" said the monk, disappointed. "Because." continued the Pontiff, tranquilly, "I have none left to pull." ? Columbia special to the News and Courier: Marion Parr, white, resident Df the Olympia Mill village, was arrested this afternoon on the charge of the murder of Clarence Shealey, who was killed last week. The gun belonging to Shealey. which was missing when the body was found, was found between Parr's mattresses. The man tried to make his escape, but was raught at the Junction, attempting to board a train. This is a strong clue against the man, as the gun was peculiarly marked and had the name on the inside of the plate. I MACHINERY I COMPLETE EQUIPMENTS A SPECIALTY.

C . g PHOTOGRAPHY TH AW ART AMD It takes an artist to be a photographer. One who is not an artist doesn't stand much of a chance of making a success at photography. I have given years of study to this especial line and I can say with pride that my work will compare favorably with that of any photographer in this section. The best and most perfect photographs are the result of experience and not experiments. I do ail of my developing, retouching and finishing, thereby obtaining thfe best possible results. As Far As Prices Are concerned, you need not worry yourself along that score. I know that my prices are reasonable and you Willi agree with me when I tell you what they are. I am also prepared to develop and print pictures taken with pocket cameras. If you have a Kodak or Vive or any other camera, and for any reason you can't develop and print your pictures, bring them to me at my gallery on West Liberty street J. R. SCHORB.
