A FRiENg IN NEED. Time When a Woman ' Shines With Superhuman Splendor. There are two or *iree circum **nces in which the plHnett wile is nueen of beauty to her husband, Wver her stature or profile. Bv* financial panic or betrayal of bu?iness partner the man goes down, ^d returning to his home that Aether I Uve or di^f it ? an a^ Sed story he is telling in the honse hold that winter night. He says, "The furniture must go, the house must go, the social position must ,0 ? And from beibg sought- for obsequiously ihey -inost be cold shouldered everywhere. After he ceases talking and the. _.;fe has hoard all jin silence she law- "I* that all? Why, you had nothing when I married you, and von have only come back to where Vou started. If you think my hap piness and that of the children de pend on these trappings, you do not jfoow me, though we have lived to gether thirty years past. God is not dead, and the National Bank of Heaven has not suspended payment, and, ? you don't ?hmd, I don't care a cent. What little we need of food and raiment the rest of our lives we can get, and I don't propose to sit down and mope and groan. Mary, hand me that darning ne?dle. I declare ! I have forgotten to set the rising for those cakes 1" And while 6he is busy at it he hears her hum ming Newton's old hymn, "Tomor row." The husband looks up in amaze ment and says: "Well, well I Yon are the greatest woman I ever saw. I thought you would faint dead away when I told you." And as he looks at her all the glories of physi ognomy in the court of Louis XV. on the modern fashion plate? are tame as compared with the super human splendors .of that woman's face. Joan of Arc, Marie Antoinette and La Belle Hamilton, the en chantment of the court of Charles II, are nowhere.?T. De Witt Tal mage. _ ' The Cryptomerta In Japan. The beauty of the cryptomeria as seen in Japan has often been de scribed by travelers both when seen wild, forming large forests on the mountain sides, and also under cul tivation, the Japanese having used it to a great extent for avenues along the sides of the public roads, says the Garden. One of the finest of these avenues is recorded as lead ing from the town of Namada to Nikko, a distance of fifty mileB, ev ery tree being a perfect specimen, quite straight, averaging from 130 io 150 feet in height and 12 feet to 15 feet in circumference. In this country it has proved, on the whole, a disappointing tree, fine sp?cimens being extremely rare. The species, or one of its numerous varieties, is said to have been first introduced into England by Fortune in 1844, who sent it from Shanghai. Al though usually spoken of as a Jap anese tioe, it is also found widely distributed in many of the moun tainous parts of China. The Yield of Wheat. An American farmer has xmany things of which he is justly proud. One thing does not appeal to his pride, however, and that is the aver age yield of >wheat in the United States, which is 13.4 bv-shels psr acre as compared with 31.3 in Ire land; potatoes about 75 in this country, while the yield is 137.3 on the soil of Erin's green isle. Aver ages of a few ' other crops bear a ?m?ar comparison. This is not creditable, and yet it is not difficult to see the reason. Some farmers do not do their best farming until they are compelled. When every man does his best,- the average will be high, but when a general don't care method is employed the average will he low. In Ireland the farmers cannot afford to do a poor job of farming.?St. Paul Globe. Hard on Both of Them. An Irishman whose face was so plain that his friends used to tell aim it was an offense to the' land scape happened also Nto be as poor as he was homely. One day a neighbor met him and asked : ^low are you> Pat ?" ' "Mighty bad! Sure, 'tis starva tion thafs starin' me.^iii the face." "Begorra/* exclaimed his neigh bor sympathetically, "it can't be jery pleasant jf or either of yez!"? bondon Outlook. Where the Shoe Pinches, It was aBoman gentleman of 2,000 years ago who" first asked "where the shoe pinches," He had just divorced his wife, and his friends ?anted to know what was the mat ter with the woman. They declared *be was good and pretty. "Now," *pd the husband, taking off -his "hoe, "isn't that a nice shoe ? If 8 a >d shoe, ??i? A pretty shoe, eh? new shoe, eh? And none of yon tell where i^pinches tt?." Fortify the body to resist ' malarial Jtrms by putting the system in per met order. Prickly Ash Bitters is a Jooderful system * regulator. Evans F barmaoy..

When old enough to make the initial move toward seeking a chan nel of future livelihood, th.e newspa per office was the magnet of attrac tion. In the day of my entrance upon the "fourth estate" the chief road to the editorial sanctum lay through the composing room, a knowledge of the mechanical de-' partments of a newspaper being held requisite before one could hope to aspire to even reportorial dignity, says a writer in Donahoe's Maga zine, j : There were no schools of journal ism in those days where ready made editors were turned loose upon an unoffending public. Neither were the professions of law and medicine so crowded as to cause the diversion of a stream of college graduates to the newspaper editorial rooms. I am not one who laments any change that time in accordance with the law of necessary progression brings about. Conditions will continue to change and the new take the place of the old when the latter shows a faltering step in keeping up with the procession. I regret, it is true, the gradual extinguishment of the old time printer, with his encyclop?die men tality. The operator of a typesetting machine, however necessary he may be according tq the present day de mands, can never hope to attain the informative position of the typo who has been displaced. I am speak ing of the old time printer as I knew him after having summered and wintered with him, and I cannot but regret that, like Othello, he should find his occupation gone. The French Academy. Although the French academy j elects its own members, it never of ! fers its favors, ill those who desire to belong to the illustrious society must ask for admission. The membership is limited to fdrty, and when there is a vacancy the candidate for election must pay a visit to every academician in turn and ?sk for his vote?thirty-nine visits. ? * This custom of paying "the visits" has been a Stumbling block in the way of many whof j talents entitled them to a place in the academy. As one Frencnman say?, "The acade my's doors are too low, and one has to stoop too much to be able to en ter without knocking one's head against the vail " Twenty, votes, or more than the half of the academy, are necessary to an election. The preliminary visits of solicita tion must be attended with more than one kind oi awkwardness. One of the most famous of modern French writers, who missed the cov eted honor, used to say, "Oh, yes members enough promised to vote for me, but I wasn't elected." Blackwood's Magazine. When Fashion Cost Most. In the reign of Henry VU. we are told by Lord Orford that the young Nicholas, lord of Vaux, at the mar riage of Prince Arthur appeared in a gown of purple velvet, adorned with pieces of gold so thick and 'massive that, exclusive of the silk and. furs> it was valued at ?},0?0 FashicTn was carried to its greatest excess, however, in the next reign when the nobles wore gloves lined with white velvet and splendidly worked with embroidery and gold buttons, scented. To juch an extent was this expenditure carried that at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, at the meeting between the kings of England and France, many of the nobles present in their extravagant attempts to outvie one another car ried the whole value of their ostates on their backs. The only result of this meeting, indeed, wsb the pov erty brought about on both sides among the lesser nobles. An Unexpected Climax. Charles Wyndham made his first appearance on any stage as an actor at Mrs. John Wood's Olympic thea ter in New York. A story has been preserved showing that Stage fright and inexperience combined to make his premiere a most discouraging oc casion. In a certain love scene he was expected to say, "Dearest, I am drunk with that enthusiasm of love which but once in a lifetime fills the soul of man," but the young man, overwhelmed with nervousness, could;.only exclaim, "Dearest, I am drunk," and there stuck fast, to the great amusement of the audience. Six Good Reasons. "Say, Pete. I hear you've been of fered a job. ' Are yon going to take it?" "Sure I am." "But the hours are long and the pay is bad." "If s meself that knows it." "Surely those are two good rea sons for refusing it." "True for you> my boy, but I've got six reasons for acceptiil'it." "What are they?" "Sure, a wife an' five kids." Chamberlain*?

He came across the river from Jer sey, and looked so much like Deumen Thompson's Josh Whitcombe that you could hear the beee humming iround the old homestead, says the Philadel phia Telegraph. He was as typical a farmer as ever broke through the ferry house and showed the truly rural agility in side-stepping the dray and hack ?riving hogs on Delaware avenue. Still, there was that look in the cold eye that told that he had been.in more thsn one horse trade and still had the best plug. He was accosted by the us ual dude-dressed gent, who held out his hand, and delighted, remarked: "Why, bless me if it is not my old friend Jediah Dobbs from 8hamong! Im awfully glad to have met you, Undo Jediah." The man from Jersey looked at his would-be friend a moment, realized thut he was up against it and then in j a surprised tone replied: "You've got my autograph down all right, yonng fellow; but blessed if you hain't got the best of me." "Now stop and think-a moment," said the bunco roan. "Can't yon re member where you saw me?" "It inaut hev been the Zoo," re plied the Jersey m <md. "I was there one night about twenty , years ago, hut I kain't remember the names of all tLe animals." "You remember Samuel Donovan, who used to live in your town so:?ue years ago?" " 'Pears to me I do; left the plaoe, didn't he, to esoape being introduced to the "sheriff ?" "He left because he was offered bet ter advantages in this oity. W cii, I am his son, William." - "So you are Willie, are you?the little cub what used to steal my water melons and throw sttnes at the cows. Well, Willie, I'm right glad to see you, and I don't harbor no unohrist ianlike feelin' against your old man, even it he wasn't just exaotly in the Methodist deaoon class. Howsomever, Willie, I hope you don't take after him. What are you udoin for a liv ing?" "Grafring." "Graftin, eh? Same as we call buddin' although some people stick to the old name How many trees can yoU do in a day, and do you use bees wax or the new-fangled stuff they are sellin! at the corner stores?" "That depends on what I am graft ing; but come, unole, I want to intro duce you to a friend of mine." "Hold your hosses, Willie, or they'll pull you over the dashboard. This y ere's my pleasure, and consequently my treat; but I just got a cheok from my commission merohant for ftffcy plunks, and I'll have to get that cash ed fust." "Oh, don't worry about that unole," said the bunco man, who already had the coin olinohed. "I will cash it for you, and after you treat, if you wish we will go and meet my friend." "I'm agreeable, Willie; got notbin' else to do but go down to Dock Street market for a short spell. Thanks. Willie you are just as good as a bank, and not half so mnoh fuss. Beside, I don't have to feel sorry for them fresh young clerks. Here's hopin' you won't grow up like yer old man." "Excuse me a minute, will you, Willie? I got a gravelstone in my boot, an' it has been hurting me like thunder ever since I left home. I kinder hate toapull off that hoot right here afore ail the people. You'll ex cuse mel won't you, Willie?" "Certainly, unole.. Just step in the back parlor. There's no'one in there." This the man from Jersey did. He did mere. He kept right on stepping and the bunco man waited in vain for him to get that gravelstone pnt of h;s boot. "Gosh!" remarked the man from Jersey, as he pushed through the orowd and hopped on the ferryboat. "Wasn't he the easiest yet. It was his hide or mine, and tain't no harm to rob a robber. Besides, I hain't got it half baok yet." ? Yonng Lady's Ufa Saved. Dr. Ghas. H. Utter, a prominent physioian of Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter states : "Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad at tack of dysentery. Everything I pre scribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had become 30 weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a ' study for me, bnt I thought of Chamberlain' s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last retvt prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling muoh better; inside of three days she was upon her feet, and at tho end of one Week1, was entirely well.7 For sale by Orr-Gray & Co. - i?b g jk - ?

A Vicksburg authority is quoted as showing in facts and figures the in creased cost of producing cotton this year as oompared with the cost report ed in the last census year. One work hand and his mule are taken as the basis of comparison. In 1900 the two consumed, while the crop was cultivated and harvested, 200 pounds of meat, at 8 cents, $16 ; three barrels of meal, $6.15 j one barrel of flour. ?3.10; .fifty bushels of corn, $23.50; twenty-five bushels of oats, $7.50 ; one ton of hay, $12.50. Total $69.35. These items comprise the ac tual living needs of the negro and mule. The same things in the same quan tities this year cost as follows : 200 pounds of moat, at 11 cents, $22 ; three barrels of meal, $10.35 ; one barrel of flour, $4.10 ; fifty bushel b of corn, at 73 cents, $36.50 ; twenty-five bushels of oats, at 62 oents, $13.80 ; one ton of hay, $19. Total $105.45. The increased cost this year is $36.10, or something over 50 per cent. This means that, while it required 867 pounds of 8-cent cotton in 1900 to set tle the supply acoount for a laborer and mule, 1,318 pounds, at the same price, will be required this year. Oth erwise stated, it will take thie year the cotton from four and three-fifth aores to settle the supply acoount of a hand and his mule, as against cotton from two and three-quarter acres in 1900, assuming that each aore produced 300 pounds of lint. These figures, says the Birmingham Age, will startle all farmers who do not raise their own supplies and will discomfort those who do. The grow ing crop is "none too good," and, as the cost of production has be'en in creased by half, it is safe to say that it will bring less net money than a crop has broughtin many a year. "The situation," it adds, "simply enforces the old lesson?raise your own sop plies, whatever else you may do. Put supplies first, and mske cotton an in cidental cash crop. Those who do not heed this lesson are nipped severely every year, but probably in no year more than they will in the present one. Roadmaster Killed by Negro Passenger. Baleigh, N. C, Aug. 19.?Road - maBter Fred Stevers of Stevers, Va., was shot and killed and ^im Mitchell, a negro porter, was dangerously wounded in a fight with disorderly ne groes on a southbound Seaboard Air Line train near Middleburg this after noon. The negroes had taken Beats in the coaoh reserved for whites. Conductor Clements ordered them to the coaoh for negroes. The negroes protested bnt obeyed the order. When in the "jim crow" ooaoh one of the negroes, named Joe Cole, struck at the conduc tor. Roadmaster Stevers came to the conductor's rescue. The negro pulled a pistol and Stevers clasped him around the body, but the negro twist ed his arm around, and getting his pistol against Stovers3 head, shot him, Stevers falling dead on the ooach floor. Mitchell, the porter, rushed towards Cole as he pointed the pistol at Conductor Clements and was ahot in the abdomen. ' Passengers oaptured three of the participants and two jumped from the train, escaping to the woods. Blood hounds have been sent from Weldon to chase them down. The dead body of Stevers was put off at Henderson and Jim Mitchell, the colored porter, was brought to Raleigh where an operation was per formed on him to-night. The physi cians fear he wilt die. Requests for the use of the military have been made. There are rumors I that a lynching .??i?y be attempted, though a telegram just received says all is quiet. Homicide in Greenville County.
