A certain clever teacher in a public school once congratulated herself on having given her geography class a vivid Idea of islands by cutting out pieces of brown paper and pinning them on the wall. "That's all very well," said the master of the school, speaking from a longer experience of the youthful mind, "but those children will go out into life with a fixed idea that an island is a piece of brown paper pinned on the wall." The New York Evening Post says that two little 'Tresn air" gins were noin-eu, un iuc morning aftecr their arrival, gazing at the landscape with evident disapproval. "What's the matter, children?" asked their hostess. "Why are you disappointed with the country?" "Why, there's no grass here," said one, pulling a blade and biting the end of it. The lady could only stare. "What is your idea of grass?" she asked, at .last. Little by little the truth came out. To begin with, grass, they thought, was about the height of a man. "If this were taller would it be like grass?" asked the lady. "Oh, no!" "How is it different?" "Why, grass is black." said one child. "Black and white," added the other. Then the explanation became apparent. They had drawn their ideas of vegetation from the black and ? and hooka Wline pi til 10 ui ucnoi/o^v.. ? Dreaded His Good Time.?A certain member of congress one day last winter was deploring the fact that he must that night attend a public dinner, when the probability was he would have "too good a time." "My predicament," said the congressman, "reminds me of the sad case of an old constituent near Kansas City whose weakness was drink. The place where he lived voted no license; so In order to obtain Intoxicants It was necessary to take a trolley car to Kansas City, seven miles away. "One night I chanced to meet my bibulous friend waiting for the Kansas City car. To my inquiry as to where he was going he replied: " "Up to K. C. to get drunk.'

Lantern, September 15: A few days ago two negro women got Into a difficulty at Great Falls and one, Daisy Wright, cut the other woman's throat from ear to ear, coming within an eighth of an inch of severing the I jugular vein. It is said that she was able to sit up the next morning after the affray and was still getting along all right yesteraay. rne wngm woman Is in Jail awaiting consequences. Senator Tillman says he cared nothing about the offices of governor and attorney general; It was the legislature he was fighting for, and he got plenty of dispensary representatives with about a dozen to spare. The fox in the fable, after exhausting his strength leaping up in vain after grapes, said they were sour and unfit to eat; that it was the muscadines he was after and he got them in abundance; but he was observed making a very scanty supper upon the discarded hulls Mrs. J. Lyles Glenn beautifully entertained a large number of the younger social set on last Friday evening complimentary to Miss Burnett, Messrs. James Hardin of Clover, James Given of Spartanburg and James Greer. The cool and spacious piazzas and lawn of this handsome home proved to be a popular resort. Stationed at the door to greet the arriving guests were Misses Louise and Kate Glenn and Florence Caldwell. From the hall Miss Glenn escorted them into the parlor wnere Mr. ana Mrs. uienn introduced them to the guests of honor. Afterward refreshing and delightful punch was enjoyed, served most gracefully by Misses Sudle Caldwell and Julia Marquis on the veranda. Later in the evening dainty refreshments of two kinds of cake and cream were served the guests Mrs. Nettie Roddey Miller and three sons of Florida, who have been visiting at the home of her brotherin-law, Dr. S. Q. Miller, for a few days, returned to Rock Hill yesterday morning where she will spend a few days before going home Miss May Hamilton had a number of her friends out at her home in the country one evening last week. They were served with delightful cream and cake and all had a most enjoyable time. Those invited were: Misses Hamilton Henry, Mary Lindsay, Mildred Patterson, Gladys Patrick, Rebecca Hafner, Julia Moffatt, Annie May Prior, Ella Stringfellow, Mary White, Etta McCullough, Messrs. John Hemphill, Frank Whitlock, William James, Stanley Boyle, Steele Caldwell, .Will Marion, Butler Woods, Klllough White. Harold White, Will Latimer, James uienn, Koy Miner and Joe Wylie Mr. H. T. Carter, who. left Saturday night for Knoxville, after hearing of his son's death, returned yesterday morning. He wired Saturday night that he would go at once, and again the next morning that he was on the way, asking that burial be deferred until he arrived, but the telegram was not delivered in time and the body was buried before he arrived. Otherwise he would have brought the remains home. Mr. Carter was in the employ of the American Steel company and was at work with a force of men putting up the steel frame of shops for the South ern railway, In the Lonsdale suburb of Knoxvllle. A rope working on a pulley caught In some way and while he was looking where the hitch was the engineer put on more power, giving two sudden jerks, when the end of the boom snapped. There was a cry, "Look out!" but at that moment the broken piece struck him on the back of the head killing him instantly. Mr. Charles P. Carter was born in 1876. He had made a reputation as an all around bridge man, and his services were In demand at fine pay. As stated Tuesday, he leaves a wife and one child. GASTON.

Fortunes to Kiu, Squirrels.?The compiling of figures by the government expert employed in the biological survey of the state of Washington, estimating the cost of the fight waged against the squirrel pest by the farmers of the Palouse county, brings out very interesting figures. The two hardware stores of Pullman have sold 746 dozen traps and 345,500 cartridges this season. This death dealing material foots up to the tidv sum of $1,393.60 for traps and $1,122.85 for cartridges. Two drug stores kept figures on the amount of poison sold. The third could not furnish data. The poison list shows that 1,933 pounds of prepared poison at 15 and 25 cents a pound. 600 ounces of strychnine at 84 cents an ounce, thirty-eight pounds of cyanide at 60 cents a pound, 170 pounds of phosphorus at $1.25 a pound and four gross of Wakeless poison at $3 a dozen was sold. This amounts to $1,131.90 for poisons alone. The total expenditures for squirrel destroying material reached the sum of $3,648.35 for this season in the territory directly adjacent to Pullman alone. SHAVING, THE WORLD OVER. Barbering You Can Feel In Villages of Spain. Any traveler in Spain who steps off the beaten path may, like Don Quixote, find a Mambrino helmet for himself, for it swings from a staff over the door of every wayside barber. An old and worn out basin does for a signboard; one less old is necessary to the shaver's art. These barber basins of the peninsula are always made of brass. Some of the old ones are fairly hammered, but in all the shape is the same, a product of public utility answering an unvarying demand. A half circle Is cut out from one rim large enough to accommodate the patron's gullet and Adam's apple. Seen in profile the effect of a man being shaved is as a St. John the Baptist whose head had partly slid off the charger. Thus Is it adapted to the tonsorlal methods in vogue In Spain, and with but slight variations practiced in all of the villages of Europe. There are no Joke weeklies to while away the time of waiting; there are no chairs with complicated gear) to raise and lower the patient, to swing him around Into the light at his most artistic angle, to tilt him back to a monotonous view of the J celling. Instead the sufferer is planted bolt upright in a straight chair, land throughout the operation his is . the sole responsibility of holding a basin of water at his throat, and If he spills the suds down upon the front of his shirt the blame is his alone. Nor does the difference cease here. The peasant barber of Europe reeards lather as merely an ornate In cldent. He wets his patron's cheeks and smears them with good hard soap, well rubbed in. Then he uses his razor to evacuate this cement of stiffening soap, moistening It only when it is found too hard to work. The soap is dragged off with little regard to the feelings of the sufferer; the question is never put: "Does this razor pull?" When the barber has gone his round from ear to ear the patient takes his bowl and washes up for himself. When the sharp suds sting his cheeks he rests content, for he has had a shave that he can feel. Despite attempts at long intervals to make hair on the face a fashion, practically all the world shaves. The most consistent advocates of the cleanly shaven face are the Indians of America. Nature has helped them out at the beginning, for hair upon their faces appears only late in life and then very sparsely. For this reason it is not so difficult and painful as it might seem to follow the Indian custom of Dulling out each hair as soon as it reaches a length that will permit it to be gripped. Another stock whose beard is late and scanty provides employment for a large guild of barbers in shaving high. This is seen in the blue rim which encircles the roots of any Chinaman's queue. Being Mongolian, a Chinese razor is naturally not like any other razor in the world. It looks like a split half dime mounted on a stick; but the Chinese And it extremely effective, and that must serve as a complete test of its efficiency. The race that peopled the valley of the Nile when Egypt was the home of all the world's enlightenment, shaved so completely that one might infer that they had adopted the billiard ball as the type of beauty, for from the point of the chin to the nape of n<w>k not a hair was soared. Here. though, crops out the military exception. The Pharaohs and their captains seem to have grown a few straggling hairs on the chin. At any rate they wore richly ornamented boxes to cover the beards which they may or may not have been able to grow. So long as nothing showed but the beard box gummed upon the chin, any one might wear the ceremonial and symbolic box, even If he could not raise a beard to fill it. Their great rivals for the empire of the ancient world, the Assyrians, were abundantly supplied with beards. That they held them in high esteem may be inferred from the fact that they carved them upon the effigies of their sacred bulls and other gods of a long forgotten theology. If one may accept the statuary of Mesopotamia as a safe guide to the fashions of those early Oriental times It would appear that the Assyrian beard was worn In long ringlets. That may, however, be no more than an evidence of the limitations of the art of the ancient sculptor, who could not carve hair positively unless he made it look like rope. It seems hardly conceivable that Nebuchadnezzar and Assurbanlpal would submit to a fashion that involved putting their heads up in curl papers every night. No modern race goes conspicuously unshorn except the black fellows of the Australian bush. Among the people of the earth who shave wholly or in part the utensils of the barber's high calling widely vary. Soap and shaving brush are a triumph of advancing civilization, the sybarite's effort to secure his ease. Some of the lower races wet the cheeks with water or the juices of fruits or sap of trees, but for the most part the savage shaves dry. Such of the native tribes along the Amazon as shave at all in preference to plucking out their scanty beards, prepare their cheeks by swabbing with the heavy sap of the tree which yields the rubber. In tropical Africa the oil of the oil palm is used for the same purpose. In the East Indies generally the pulp of the ripe banana Is rubbed to a cream on the cheeks and chin with the abundant juice which may be drawn from the leaf stem of the same plant. Elsewhere In the same region of the eastern seas the green orange is employed. Many and various are the substitutes for the razor of steel. In the [ uplands of Africa, where the natives have developed no little skill as workers of metal and produce knives of good temper, they seem not to have hit upon the Idea or true snaving Dy the use of a cutting edge. Their abundant beards are removed and their chaps kept smooth by singeing. A plate of iron an inch In width, three inches long and a quarter of an inch thick is mounted on a handle of horn. This is brought to a white heat in the charcoal furnace and is passed evenly over the face very close to the skin. This glowing plate produces a close shave effect with a luxury of comfort to the most tender skin that no razor yet forged could bring about. For shore dwellers the opportunities which several mollusks afford have not been lost upon the barbers. One such shell has been commonly designated the razor clam, and while not much of a clam for fritter purposes, It will serve excellently well on a pinch for a razor. It abounds on the beaches of the northern Atlantic coast, but It is not altogether easy to dig up even when the little spout of water In the sand betrays Its presence, for It takes the promptest alarm and can dig itself out of sight far more quickly than any man can dig it into view. The shell Is In two valves, each about half an Inch wide' and some six inches long, the shallower one being preferable for shaving. I Tn nrenare It for use all that is needed Is to press the shell from the Inner side steadily and evenly with a chip; this splits off a sheet of the tough purplish green outer rind and leaves a clean edge of shell thut is sharp enough for comfortable shaving and firm enough to keep the edge at least during the operation. While this razor shell Is confined to the North American coast, there are mollusks of similar utility In every sea. Another pelagic razor widely employed is the tooth of the shark. While this also has a sharp edge It differs from the keenness of the shells. They present a true cutting edge so long as Tt lasts. The small tooth of the shark keeps Its heavily enameled edge much longer, but It is of the saw type and therefore by no means of smooth action. In Inland regions, where sea razors are not easily come at, there may be found mineral substitutes. The most widely found of these mineral razors Is the flint. Another mineral of great vaiue to the primitive folk who shave themselves is the obsidian or volcanic glass. , By careful treatment this may be split into almost any desired shape and its edges of fracture are found very keen, though quick to lose their cutting edge. Even the herb of the soil as well as the sea and the rocks yield its razor, than which there could be none better. This is the rind of the bamboo, which owes its fine polish to the deposit of flint. When the Joint partitions are cut off from a node of green bamboo the tube may be readily split. Each silver will be found to carry a thin sheet of the flint casing* a sheet so thin that its edge will appear sharp enough under a high power microscope. It is sharper than any razor of steel can be whetted?so sharp that it must be used with great care to avoid cutting deep into the skin. It ' will hold its edge for any operation of shaving and there is no need to save it for a second time, since the bamboo grows wild all over the tropics l and a new razor may be had without cost of labor whenever wanted. In his primitive estate savage man I nAooaoo all fho nPPPqsflrlA'l Cit the barber shop except the lather brush and the shop, neither of which he has learned to need, and therefore ( does not miss them.?New York Sun. ( ANIMALS ON TRIAL. Dog's Treasonable Act?Punishment | For an Elephant and An Ass. I A trial which carries us back to the Middle Ages has Just been concluded at Delmont, In the Canton of Soleure, Switzerland. Last January, , a house was broken into and robbed, and its owner, a rich man named Merger, murdered. Suspicion fell on a i certain Sherer and his son, who, on being arrested, while confessing to the crime, averted that Merger was first attacked by their boarhound, which I pulled him down and killed him be- i fore they plunged their knives into his breathless body. This line of de- < fence resulted in the arrest of the hound, which was placed In the dock i beside its masters. The Jury having found tne tnree prisoners guiuy, uw < judge sentenced the two Sherers to i imprisonment for life and the dog to I be shot. . I In 1849, at the time when Hungary < rose in revolt against the dominion of 1 Austria, a dog belonging to a Magyar < patriot chanced to bark at an Austrian i officer. This harmless demonstration i was construed into a treasonable act, and in default of the dog's owner, who ] could not be found, the animal itself was arrested and tried by courtmartial. i Fortunately for the prisoner, it by i chance displayed a marked liking for 1 the presiding officer, on whom it I fawned affectionately, and who, con- sidering its present conduct a suffl- . clent indication of regret for its erstwhile disloyalty, ordered its acquittal. A ? txlnl AaI/ nlaOA fl t All aillUOH>5 wtai iv/uu |/I|?vv Preslau In 1825, when a pig was hauled before the magistrate charged with | a savage assault upon the burgomaster, whom It had chased through the town and bitten In the leg. The lawyer who was retained for the animal's defence pleaded that his client ' had mistaken the civic magnate for one against whom It owed a grudge, and was ready to offer full apology for Its misdeed. The presiding magistrate thereupon remarked with much solemnity that the prisoner's ocrrect attl tuae had unaouDieaiy savea us inc. and that a fine would meet the merits of the case. This was duly Inflicted, and paid by the pig's owner who was then permitted to lead the delinquent out of court. Mhow, In central India, was the < scene of a courtmartlal on an elephant i accused of having , killed his native 8 keeper. With Its neck encircled by a ( chain firmly attached to the collars of two other elephants, the culprit was led between a double file, consisting of all the elephants of the station. J to the place of trial. When it had been firmly secured, the brigade major and staff rode along the line, halting within a few yards of the prisoner. Then, having produced several sheets of foolscap, the brigade major proceeded to read the charges, with "he evl- I dence for and against the culprit, who was ultimately found guilty and sentenced to forty-eight lashes with a chain and to drag about for three 1 months a log attached to Its leg. The first part of the sentence was carried out by a powerful elephant, who, , wielding the chain with Its trunk, belabored Its fellow pachyderm most unmercifully. Althought it can scarcely fce called recent, the case of a gardener's ass, which In 1768 was tried at Nlmes on a charge of sacrilege, may be here : cited.

Caught In the very act, It was called upon to answer for its Iniquity. Counsel was appointed for its defence, but so Irrefutable was the evidence that a verdict of "guilty" was a foregone conclusion.

QARB OF ARGENTINA COWBOYS. Wears Biggest Trousers on Record? His Saddle and Whip. Our friend the gaucho Is as much In evidence along the line to the west aa to the south In Argentina. He still sticks to the Inevitable poncho, but he has discarded the chlripa, a blanketlike garment that the southern gaucho wears around his legs, or bombachos, which Is the name for absolutely the largest trousers on record. The bombachos In the flrst place were, I believe, brougnt to Argentina by the Basques. The things went straight to the heart of the gaucho and he adopted them at once. Only he has steadily Insisted on amplifying them, until today one leg of a pair of bombachos will house a small family. There is no particular point of utility to be urged for these windbags, but they serve to make their wearer a conspicuous figure when he rides Into town, which is reason enough for the gaucho. The recado or saddle used in the west is much the same as In the south. It consists of a couple of smooth pieces of wood to be laid on the blanket behind the horses's withers. Over these several pieces of fleece or soft blankets are strapped, a pair of stirrups thrown over the whole and the recado is ready for use. This sounds like a crude arrangement, and such it often is; nevertheless I have heard a number of Englishmen who have used it claim that the recado gives a knee grip in the soft blankets that insures a'seat more sure than that possible in any saddle of hard leather. The most inseparable companion of the gaucho of the west is his ribenka, or whip. This has a heavily loaded handle about a foot and a half long, which terminates in a thick single or double thong of rawhide of the same length as the handle. The handle is sometimes covered with hide, or, again heavily inlaid with silver. A blow ?

The gaucho of the south flghts with his knife in one hand and his folded poncho in the other as a shield. The western gaucho substitutes the ribenka for the poncho, and must make a far more formidable opponent. His great facon, or knife, reposes most of the dme in his belt; his rlbanka never leaves his hand during the day and at night he sleeps with the thong of It about his wrist.?Los Angeles Times. RED OR GREEN. Color Troubles of the Color Blind Poet, Whittier. It is well known that the poet Whittier was color blind and unable to distinguish red from green. He once bought for himself a necktie which he supposed to be a modest and suitable olive tint and wore it once. He never wore It again, for his friends soon made him aware that It offended against the traditional quietness of costume enjoined alike by the habits of the Friends and by bis own taste. The tie was of flaming scarlet. On another occasion, when he found a little girl In distress on account of her new gown, made over from her older sister's, which was not becoming to her coloring and complexion, he tried to console her. "I wouldn't mind what a rude boy says about It, Mary," he said kindly. "Thee looks very well indeed in it, like an oread, Mary, aressea an in green." Unfortunately Mary was not dressed in green. She was red haired, and her dress was red. That was the trouble. Once on a day in mid-March, when jut walking with a Friend and deeply engaged in conversation, Mr. Whittier approached too near for safety to a place where blasting was going on. The danger signal was shown, but neither Friend noticed it until a workman, violently waving his arms ind shouting, leaped before them ind warned them back. "I didn't see the flag at all," said Mr. Whittier's companion. "I saw it," rejoined the poet, with i twinkle in his eye, but I thought It was in honor of St. Patrick. Thee cnows my defect.
