MAX O'RELL SAYS: The Charming Woman is Preferable to the Pretty or Beautiful One. I prefer the pretty woman to. the beautiful woman and I like the charming woman best of all. The pretty woman remains pretty longer than the beautiful woman remains beautiful, and the charming woman lasts for ever. The beautiful woman is often selfish and conceited, the pretty woman seldom, and the charm ing woman never. Do I object to perfect beauty in a woman? Do I find fault with regular features, with clas sical outlines and absolute attic figure? Well, no-yet, there is some thing cold about perfection, and I have known the whole charm of a woman to be, if not actually produced, at any rate enhanced by a few little defects; a nose slightly turned up, an Austrian upper lip, showing the teeth and making the mouth just a little disdainful; a suspicion of a small salt-cellar breaking the unifor mity, I was going to say the monotony, of a perfectly smooth throat. The absolutely beautiful wo man is a statue, and very often a few little defects give her life. The beautiful woman may ap peal to our artistic sense, but seldom to any other sense. In her presence we feel be numbed, and, as we get quite close to her, we often have a sensation akin to that of a man with no clothes on leaning against the North pole. She is haughty and seldom cheerful. She has no sense of humor. She ever stands sentry at the door of her majesty, and as she walks, stands and sits, she never loses sight of her out lines. If she were your wife you feel you would have to spend your life in constant deadly fear lest you should crumple something and break the symmetry of the I whole ensemble. The sensation would be very much like the one you have in some of those oldfashioned puri tanical houses where you find all the chairs placed in a row against the wall at perfectly equal distances. You dare not sit down for fear of causing immediate disaster and confusion. If you are press ed, and you do sit down, you want to apologize, for, somehow, it doesn't seem fair on the furni ture. The beautiful woman is to be admired at a respectful distance, like the Venus of Milo in the Mothers everywhere praise One Minute Cough Cure for the suterings it has relieved and the lives of their little ones it has saved. Strikes at the root of the trouble and draws out the in lammiation. The children's favorite Cough Cure. The RI. B. Loryea Drug Louvre, who is seen at her best from the beginning of the suite of rooms at the end of which she stands in all her unapproacha ble, majestic beauty. I object to perfection in gener al, and the beauty of woman makes no exception to my rule. I am not happy or contented when I find nothing to be de sired. I sometimes like to suggest myself my own little improve ments to a sight of nature, to a work of art. I like my imagi nation to be at work. The beautiful woman is seldom clever and seldom interesting Like the peacock, she should be seen and not heard. At school or college she did not stoop over books, because it might have spoiled her figure, and her hands never stroked her head for fear of disarranging her hair, and native genius sel dom goes with great beauty. Female geniuses are, as a rule, well labelled by a thoughtful Providence who saw that men ran few or no risks. The perfectly beautiful woman should be avoided as much as perfect geniuses in the tender relations of the sexes. Madame de Stael, George Sand and George Eliot were man ly in feature and gait, and very plain. Rachel was not beautiful. It would be ungallant to mention some others who are still alive. Beautiful and pretty women are never jealous of female geniuses, for beautiful women are masterpieces of creation, and the female geniuses are its freaks. On the other hand, the most famous female genius might re sent being told that she was not beautiful. Talleyrand was one day sitting at table between Madame de Stael and the exquisitely beauti ful Madame Recamier. "Here I am," he remarked, "sitting between genius and beauty." "Without posessing either," retorted Madame de Stael, piqued at the remark of the wily states man, who was a very ugly man. - For three days and nights I suffered agony untold from an attack of cholrea morbus brought on by eating cucumbers, " says M. E. Lowther, clerk of the district court Center ville, Iowa. "I thought I should surely die, and tried a dozen different medicines but all to no purpose. I sent for a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and three doses relieved m.e entirely." This remedy is for sale by The R. B. Loryca Drug Store. Hotel Burned at Lanes. Georgetown, Oct. 2.-The Gordon house, a large hotel at Lanes, was des troyed by fire Sunday alternoon. Capt. and Mrs. D. E. Gordon saved only a part of the furnishings. The property was valued for $2,000, about one-half its value. It is reported that a new building will he er-ecteL of more modern architecture. The damage is a heavy loss to the owners.

The ancient aqueducts and re servoirs of Jerusalem testify to the abundant provision that was made for running water in the Holy City when it was the me tropolis of the Jewish state. It is only within the last few weeks that they have been brought again into the service of the city, which during intervening cen turies, has been dependent upon the scanty accumulations of rain water. The drouths of the pres ent summer led to distress, which happily, the new governor of Jerusalem, Mohammed Pjevad Pasha, had the will and energy to combat. He secured the Sul tan's consent to lay immediate ly a pipe from Solomon's pools, nine miles south of the city. The pipe draws from the seal ed fountain mentioned in the song of So*omon: "My beloved is like a spring, shut up in a fountain sealed," the deep down subterranean spring, which, from the time of Solomon, flowed through an arched channel to a distributing chamber. The tun nel is roofed with stones in the shape of an inverted V. It is one of the oldest structures in existence. It passes through the valley where the beautiful ancient gardens of Solomon are mentioned in Ecclesiastes. It passes the spot where Elijah is said to have rested in his flight from Jezebel, and crosses the plains of Ephriam, where David, in the heat of the battle with the I Philistines, longed for water from the well of Bethlehem. Finally, after passing around the sl6pe of Zion, it enters the city through the mosque of Omar, which is in the old temple area. This drawing from Solomon's pools will enable the use of twelve ancient fountains in the city. It will require 20 kilome ters of piping, ten centimes in diameter, when finally installed. The governor has also success fully repaired the virgin's fount, in the valley of Jehosophat, outside the city walls. Its waters pass to the pool of Siloam to a tunnel built by Hezekiah, as his workman recorded by a rough hewn Hebrew record, which is the oldest inscription extant. It was stolen, but afterwards re I covered, and is now in a miuseum in Constantinople, What a Wonderful Discovery is PERRY DAVIs' PAIN-KILLER: It not only cures the ills of the human family, but is also the sure remedy for horses and cattle It has never been known to fail in a cure of the worst cases of colic: and for sprains, galls. etc.. it never fails-try it once.

Bers the Kiend You Have Always Bought Signature of 6 r ' Will Yo Sel Yor Cotton Seed? Farmers are now facing the cotton seed problem. To sell or not to sell-that's the question. The mills are now paying $14 a ton which is equal to 21 cents a bushel of 30 pounds. The Pro duco mill proposes to exchange with farmers, giving 1200 pounds of meal and $1. commission for a ton of seed. Placing the aver age per cent of ammonia at 8J in cotton seed meal, that would give 98 pounds-in the 1200 pounds of meal, also 28 pounds phos phoric acid. According to the estimates put on these elements at Clemson College, they are worth $13. Now the ton of cot .ton seed has 62 pounds of am monia, all the potash and phos phoric acid to be found in 1,000 pounds of hulls, besides the lin ters and oil. The question for the farmer to settle is this; Is one ton of seed worth just as much to his land as the 1200 pounds of mealY If it is he loses the hauling to and from the mill. Cot ton seed have about 3 per cent of ammonia. That is, in five bushels of cotton seed to the acre, thelfarmer will get as much ammonia as he does in 200 pounds of commercial fertilizer. One ton of cotton seed and one ton of acid-phosphate 10.3, will make a pretty fair application for ten acres of land. The cost would be about $2.50 per acre. Ten ants and others who are com pelled to sell seed will find $14 a fair price. That makes the seed from a bale of cotton worth about $6. But can the farmer who wishes to improve his land sell his seed, or exchange for meal at the above rates? He can afford to buy seed at 21 cents a bushel. He will find them cheaper than guano.-Carolina Spartan. W. T. Wesson, Gholsonville, Va, druggist, writes: "Your One Minute Cough Cure gives perfect satisfaction.
