"Let us he energetic, hut let us be honest, too. Otherwise, we'll get on no better than the January traveler. "A traveler, on a freezing January night, called at an inn, but found it full. " *Well, landlord,' he said, 'I can't sleep out on the snow crust. You must put me up somehow.' " 'I guess, then," said the landlord, 'we'll make up a bed in the hall and curtain it off for you.' "Acordingly, this was done. And the traveler, under a rather thin blanket, fell asleep. But in the middle of the night he awoke, freezing. An icy draught blew through his hair and mustache; it even lifted his thin blanket and swept over his bare limbs. "The traveler rose. The sheet that had been hung up as a partition had come unfastened, and it was waving merrily in the breeze. "'Landlord!' shouted the traveler, 'Landlord!' '"What is it?' a voice shouted. "'Landlord,' said the traveler, 'will you please let me have a paper of pins to lock my bedroom door with?"' Conscience vs. Art.?Thomas Nelson Page, in the smoking room of the Baltic, contrasted the literary and the scientific temperaments. "But a letter will best bring out my point," said the famous author. "You've heard, of course, of Tennyson's poem. 'The Vision of Sin.' Well, an eminent mathematician wrote to Tennyson, on the appearance of his poem, a letter tnat ran nne mis: " T>ear Sir?I find in a recent poem of yours, entitled "The Vision of Sin," the following unwarranted statement: "Every moment dies a man, and every moment one is born." I need hardly point out that this calculation, if correct, would tend to keep the sum total of the world's population in a state of perpetual equipoise, whereas, it is an established fact that the said population is constantly on the increase. I would, therefore, suggest that in the next edition of this poem the erroneous calculation to which I refer should be corrected as follows: "Every moment dies a man, and one and a sixteenth is born." I may add that the exact figures are 1.167, but something must, of course, be conceded to the laws of rhythm.'"?Washington Star. Advantages of Twins.?Bobby had been unusually quiet for several hours ?so quiet, however, that his mother began to worry over the great quantities of stillness that came from the room in which he was sitting, says Judge's Library. Finally, she ros? up from her work and went into the nursery. "What are you doing, Bobby?" She said, as she discovered the little chap curled up in a chair with a very solemn expression on his face. "Thinkin" and wishln,'" replied Bobby. "What about, dear?" asked his mother. "I was thinkin* how nice it would i>e if I was twins," he answered. "Then the other one could do the studyin' at school and I could stay home and play, and then, when I did something naughty, why, you could spank hint. When I was sick he could take the castor oil and?" "And when you had some candy, what then?" asked his mother. "Oh, I'd eat it," said Bobby. "It wouldn't do for me to let him get sick." A Shaded Story.?Joseph Alexander is a pickanirfny of many virtues, but sadly given to exaggeration, says a writer in the Delineator. One day when I had him pulling weeds in the front yard he ran into the house with eyes big as moons and cried: "Law, Miss Minnie, what you think! I dun kilt three big rattlesnakes out in de yard." "Now, Joseph," I replied, "you know that is not so." "Well, now. Miss Minnie," he insisted insinuatingly, "It wuz two turrible big snakes, an' I killed 'em fo* sho'?" Determined to convict him, I insisted, "you know you did not kill two snakes!" He thought a moment, then said impressively: "Well, now, I did kill one powerful big snake in dat very front yard." "Go away, boy, you are an outrageous story teller," I cried indignantly. He was not one whit abashed by my vehemence, but cheerfully replied: "Well, 'clar fore goodness, Mis Minnie, hit was a powerful big worm!" Nothing In a Name.?"Did you ever hear the story about the Irishman who was caught in a crap game raid with some Chinese?" said Capt. Carroll of the local detective bureau. "It happened not so very long ago in the First precinct. "The plain-clothes men had been sent out to investigate a crap game somewhere in Market street. They brought in four Chinese and Mike Kelly, an Irishman. Of course, they were all lined up in court the next morning in front of a roomful of spectators. " 'What's your name?' asked the judge of the first of the prisoners. " 'One Lung,' said the man. "'One Lung, you're fined $10. And your name?' " 'One Foo.' "The other three gave their nann ? as Sing Ho, Wah He and Foo Gee. Each was fined $10. Then it came the Irishman's turn. He did not wait, but stepped up to the desk. " 'Your name?' "'Oh, ?!

Lancaster News, June 29: A deputy sheriff of Monroe came here Saturday and got Joe Mayhew, colored, who was arrested in this county Thursday on the charge of being implicated in the recent assassination in Unioti county, N. C., of Carter Parks, the young farmer who was shot to death near his home. There are now five men in jail at Monroe charged with complicity in the crime, one young white man, Charlie Plyler, brother-in-law of Parks, and four negroes. Mr. Mobley Parks, the father of the murdered man, is a wellto do farmer and highly esteemed citizen of Lancaster county. It is stated that he has employed two able lawyers in Monroe to assist, the solicitor in the prosecution of the parties charged with his son's murder... .The infant daughter of Hon. and Mrs. J. Harry Foster died at their home here last Saturday night, aged about three months. The parents returned with the child some days ago from New York, where it had been taken for treatment. The burial was in West Side cemetery Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, after funeral services conducted at the home by the Rev. Chalmers Fraser. The bereaved young parents have the sympathy of the community in their a fillet ion The Rev. R. Lee Robinson, the beloved pastor of the Lancaster and Shiloh Asociate Reformed Presbyterian churches, has been elected president of the Due West College for Women. Is it understood that Mr. Robinson will take the proposition under advisement and that after a conference with representatives of the board of trustees of the Women's College of Due West and with the sessions of the Shiloh and Lancaster congregations, his decision will be announced. Mr. Robinson is one of Lancaster's ablest and most popular ministers, and while the community appreciates the deservedly high compliment paid him by the Due West board of trustees, it is earnestly hoped here that his decision will be in favor of remaining in Lancaster. Gastonia Gazette, June 28: Mr. James Fayssoux came in Saturday night for a visit to relatives. This is his first trip back to Gastonia since he left seven years ago. A portion of the time since he left has been spent in Panama Mr. J. W. Sego was in town Saturday and reported to the Gazette office that in the past two months twelve rattlesnakes have been killed on Pasour mountain and that each snake averaged from nine to fourteen rattles Mr. Frank Hewitte, who lives in the Lucia neighborhood, sent the Gazette office yesterday the first cotton bloom of the season so far reported in Gaston county.

The patient is still very much excited, threatens to sue the town for incarceration, and states the superintendent, is quite hard to handle, giving them considerable trouble. Many of his friends had hoped that he would begin to show signs of improvement right away and are disappointed at the news which comes from the asylum. ..Chester Lantern, June 28: The newroad law is attracting much interest, but we believe that the people of Chester county will be convinced of its wisdom after they once try its working qualities and see the results accomplished under a systematic handling of the road problem The Lantern's statements that indictments against more parties for participation in the alleged graft of the dispensary has been confirmed by Attorney General Lyon. The question now is who are they? It will be answered by the grand jury when court convenes Much interest centers in the term of court beginning next Monday morning, July 4th, by reason of the fact that the trial of Jodie M. Rawlinson and John Black, both under indictment for defrauding the state while members of the board of control of the old state dispensary, will be called immediately on the convening of court. Attorney General Lyon has announced that he will try these cases here next week and everything is in readiness. Judge Shipp of Florence, will preside. In the case of Rawlinson there is apparently nothing to prevent the trial of his case and it is likely that it will be taken up immediately on the convening of court. An effort will possibly be made to postpone this case also, but it will hardly be done and the programme is to take it up immediately for trial Mr. Jesse V. I'eay awoke from sleep this morning a little after l o'clock to find his home in flames and he in serious danger of being burned in the ruins. Rising hurriedly he escaped from the flaming dwelling which was shortly a mass of ruins. The fire de partment had arrived earlier hut was powerless to eheek the onward rush of the lire and soon it went up in smoke. The house was oeeupied hy Mr. J. V.

Chambers, at Kvergreen cemetery on Sunday afternoon was a most beautiful and impressive ceremony. About eighty members of Cadar camp gathered at their hall and marched in a body to the cemetery, being joined at t.adsden street by the members of the Blackstock camp, the whole body then proceeding to the cemetery. Forming in wedge-shaped around the grave the choir, Messrs. J. \V. Bankhead, \V. I). Knox, I. Mci). Hood and W. F.

It v is believed that the ordinance will g meet the approval of all parties con- ^ cerned. The hitch has been this: The p Southern did not want to undertake the grading down to Railroad avenue, c unless the city would bear the respon- a sibility. As we understand it, the v property owners that will be affected e have deeded that part of the land need- s ed to the city and the city will grant j; permission to have the grading done. a Gaffney Ledger, June 28: Messrs.

Seventeen grand p jurors answered to their names and 0 the business of the court was prompt- c ly taken up and the business of the 0 term is being pushed as rapidly as e possible. The judge's charge to the e nrand inrv thonirh brief was clear. logical and concise. He impressed c upon the body the importance of keep- y ing secret the matters pending before a it and not to allow anyone to approach s any member of the body in regard to k any indictment; that this is practiced in some counties of the state, and the g matter is called to the attention of a the body here in order that it may be r guarded against. He regretted to note 0 that there are three indictments for c murder, and two for rape; that all ti law-abiding citizens of the state deep- d ly deplore the fact that there is so much crime within the borders of the d grand old state of South Carolina, and b that it is a rare thing that any term of j, court is held in any county of the state tl without haying one or more murder jt cases for trial. That the prevalence of c crime is perhaps due to the non-enforcement of the law on the part of y the courts.

There are few words in the language hich to the general mind convey a tronger Impression of death, destrucion and annihilation than high exlosives. When you recollect that a ecade ago the United States steamhip Maine was destroyed, hundreds of ves lost and war precipitated by the vnlosiiin of a few nounds of iriincnt an; that still more recently hundreds nd thousands of human beings at a Ime were hurled to eternity by the udicious scattering about of a little uncotton here and there; that the tyant of unhappy Russia trembles and ales at the mere mentioning of this errific avenger, it is hard to realize hat perhaps you are reclining on a ivan covered by guneotton in the urm of artificial silk, biting on a pipe tern composed of guneotton and easor oil, and drawing funny pictures on tablet of guneotton and camphor, . hile talking to the young lady who is icking her high French heels, covered y guneotton in the form of artificial ?ather, against the chair, highly polshed by a guneotton varnish and ervously fingering a hair comb which ontains sufficient guneotton to oblitrate the room you are in; that you an take 100 times as much guneotton s it would take to send the dreaded )readnought with .every soul on board o the bottom of the sea and pulp it o a state resembling the finest (lour i-ith impunity; that you have enough ;uncotton in the films of the little kolak you carry around so carelessly to ilow yourself to atoms. Suppose you take a pinch of gunotton and put it in a glass, then pour .lcohol over it?it remains just as it ias. You repeat the experiment with ther In place of alcohol?the same reult. You then mix ether and alcohol n a third glass, and chemical analysis s well as physical examination will ell you that no change has taken dace. They are simply there as other nd alcohol and nothing else. Now ou take this mixture and pour it over our guncotton. It swells out immeliately and in a few minutes the cotonlike fibers are transformed into a lear, transparent jelly; you add a litle more of the magic mixture and in horter time than it takes to stir the runcotton around you have as clear .nd transparent a liquid as if salt or ugar had been dissolved in distilled cater. It Is still in that solution as gunotton pure and simple, and if you let he mixture evaporate and dry the runcotton, you can explode it as well s if it had never been dissolved. Intead of letting the mixture evaporate, lowever, you add a little of that castor il you could not induce your little liild to take the other day on account f its "nastiness," and you have changd the whole nature of the formidable xplosive. Now, if you draw off the ether-alohol you have a jelly-like mass, which ou cannot explode, if you fired it with detonation cap, hammered it with a ledge hammer or threw it in the itchen fire. It is this remarkable property o* uncotton to be easily soluble in etherlcohol or similar solvent and to be endered non-explosive by the addition f such a substance as castor oil or hamphor, which renders it so exremely serviceable in the arts and inustries. The parents of guncotton are, ineed, of an innocent nature and humle origin. You take old rags, wood ulp, paper, or, better still, cotton? hat is where it got its name?and treat t with nitric acid. There is your gunotton. Now it is tnken in the dryhouses and ou handle it with trembling care. Carefully, tenderly, cautiously it is emoved from the dryhouses to the dis- , olvlng vats, where it is damped in the raiting alcohol. You draw a sigh of elief, for you can begin to handle it rith comparative safety again. If you now put In only the necessary ther you would have an elegant mokeless powder?far superior in trength, safety, effectiveness and leanliness to the old-fashioned, ammuition. But that is not what you are fter, so you add a little caster oil or erhaps a solution of camphor?and ow you can begin to handle it reck;ssly. You decide to turn that partiular batch of the explosive into cellu>id and you treat it accordingly. You might make the celluloid as ard as rock or as flexible as vulcan'.ed rubber, you might make it to reemble ivory, amber, tortoise shell, orn, different kinds of wood or allost any other solid you can think of, ou can make it as white as snow, as lack as ebony or as variegated as the ainbow, you can easily turn it or cast t or mold it into any conceivable hape?no wonder, then, that it has uch an unlimited practical application 1 daily life. You make up your mind for what articular purpose you want the batch i the mixer, and you vary the ingredints you put in accordingly. If you rant it colored in any way you put in he appropriate dye stuffs, if you want ; clear, amberlike and transparent you ut nothing but your oil in it. After a while your guncotton mixture ( esembles a tough, elastic, coherent ough and you take it out of the mahine, press it through dies and roll it etween heated rollers in order to still tore incorporate the ingredients and i drive off the solvent, which now has ecome quite superfluous. If you want a very hard product uch as is used for piano keys, billiard alls, knife handles, penholders, collar uttons or the like, you mix in but very ittle of your oil, and after the original olvent is entirely driven off, you have [ strong, hornlike substance, which ou can turn or cut, as you please, and < ,'hich can be polished to radiance. If you had in mind to cast or mold eautiful toilet boxes, cigar cases, ma- , ogany, oak or cherry wood ornaments j r such things, you poured in a greater nantitv of the oil or perhaps you fished to make some of those pretty, exible tortoise shell combs or hairins, a delicate paper cutter or a neat lemorandum tablet, and you used till more of the convenient oil and amphor before you rolled out the niaL'rial to desired thickness. Should you want it for some of those ollars and cuffs which are so conven?nt in warm weather, or for imitation father, which has such an enormous pplieability, you have to go a step urther. Instead of mixing it to a ough and kneading 't through rollers, nu mix it more troughly in the cated mixer and use a sufficient (inanity of oil to give it tin- consistency of heavy, spongy liquid. This you pour ver outstretched Jute for leather or heesecloth or a cheap linen fabric for nen. When the solvent is driven off ou have a strong, tough, flexible cloth, > which you can give a polish to re[ mble the finest patent leather or the dull appearance so much sought after in imitation linen. Nor is this all that this remarkable , dough made out of a most powerful / explosive can be used for. If you press out this mass of guncotton in line strings and pass them through water you will find that they have a tensile strength and an elasticity greater than the cotton, from which the substance was made, and you can spin them to the finest threads. As the stuff can be n, dyed into any desired shade, and it ff then has a luster, which is not surpassed by any other textile material, and the "swish," which made silk dresses so alluring, it is used extensively for the ^ manufacture of the world's supply of r silk. For draperies, upholsteries and all indoor uses this artificial product Is as serviceable as the natural silk, but it is somewhat more sensitive to moisture than the output of the silkworms.?Technical World. r SATSUMA SWORD GUARDS. Gems of Workmanship Which a Few Years Ago Sold For a Song. "Even until comparatively recent times," says the Japan Magazine, * "Satsuma sword guards were re- y ferred to in a manner which likened y them to a lump of rusted iron, mas- ^ sive and heavy, with oblong form, ( devoid of artistic design or ornamentation. ? "This misconception can be traced {j to the isolation policy so long in force In Satsuma, which prevented travellers from securing free or easy u access to the Interior of the Han, and g also to the restrictions in force prohibiting the exportation of 'things t Satsuma' to any place outside of its own provincial limits. In consequence of this state of affairs the productions of Satsuma artists were almost unknown in other parts of the empire. "With the abolition of the feudal system the Satsuma clansmen were imbued with different views and the semi-independent power of its provincial lord became a thing of the past. Simultaneously an imperial edict was _j promulgated forbidding the wearing of swords on pain of confiscation, and the public no longer prized in the same sense the weapon that they had formerly been accustomed to hold reverently above their heads with uplifted hands, and much less did g they fully appreciate the value of the f various adornments of the sword. t "In the meantime articles of for- p eign make began to pour into the a country and a mania for everything t Occidental seized the minds of the S Japansese people. As a result rare old suits of armor, spears, sword r guards, etc., suddenly found their way I into the hands of fcurlo dealers or n to blacksmith shops, where these a time-honored treasures were trans- v formed for the sake of their metal n into articles of common and practl- o cal use, such as tea boilers, sickles, v fire tongs and nails. v "The craze for things foreign was so great that it was not uncommon for a merchant to exchange antique lacquered boxes for modern glass pots .. that could be easily bought today for a few sen. Some of these true object d'art were mercilessly subjected to chemical analysis for the purpose _ of extracting the gold they contained. ~ "Tsuba. which are today eagerly c sought after, met with the same fate as the ordinary one. Even a tsuba by Kaneiye the Great, the incomparable specialist, whose productions at the present command any price, was laughed at by a collector when a trader in antiques asked him the oaltry sum of 5 yen for it. c "Fortunately, the tide of reaction soon set in with an awakened and re- newed interest, and swords, together wfth their belongings, more than redeemed the credit and high esteem / which they had once enjoyed as ob- r jects of war and veneration. Interest in feudal arms and armor has steadily increased, so that today it is difficult, almost impossible, to obtain possession of the best specimens. 0 "The glorious victory gained over _ the N'orthern Golossus (Russia) brought Satsuma more markedly than ever into prominence for many of the greatest heroes who won immortal fame during the tremendous struggle, -i hailed from Satsuma; namely. Ad- J mirals Togo and Kamimura, Marshal a Oyama and Gens. Nodzu, Kuroki, a Nishi and Kawamura, along with a a host of stars of lesser brilliancy, q There arose a new interest in Satsuma. Connoisseurs of tsuba argued that in this land of heroes and of ~ Hushido there must surely have been G great swordsmiths and tsuba craftsmen, especially as the province had long been noted for Its beautiful faience. "The first to introduce the guards of his native province to artists was Mr. Fukushima, a celebrated collector of swords as well as their ad- ^ juncts, and since that time the Sat- _ suma guards have been searched for and brought from the most remote and obscure corners of the southwestern part of Japan and have obtained their due share of appreciation which was so long denied them."
