One of the most picturesque legend connected with the solar beams is tha told in the islands of the south Pacific where sunbeams are known as "th ropes of MauL" It is related that ii former times the sun god Ra was no so regular in his habits fis he is today In fact, he caused the south sea island ers much annoyance by setting in th, morning or at noon or at other inol portune timos, just when his light wa: needed for the daily tasks of mankind The great hero Maui undertook t cure him of these .:.atic habits. an the first step was to make the sun got prisoner. This was accomplished b: laying a series of six snqares made 6 strong cocoanut fiber along the sun' path in the sky. When the deity nex rost from Avaiki, or the land of ghosts the first noose encircled him, but slip ped down and only caught his feet; thi second slipped, too, but caught the sur god's knees; the third caught aroun his hips. Still Ra pressed on, scarcely ham pered by these contrivances. Thi fourth noose tightened around hi waist, the fifth under his arms, anm finally the sixth and last caught hin around the neck and almost strangle him. Then the sun god confessed him self vanquished and in fear of his 1ff promised Maui that he would in futur( adjust his daily journeys more in ac cordance with the comfort and conven lence of mortal men. Ra was then allowed to proceed ox his way, but Maui prudently declined to take off the ropes, which may stil be seen hanging from the sun at dawz and when he descends into the ocear at night. Hence the islanders say, whei they behold'the beams radiating frozz the sun. "Tena te Taura a Maui"-"Se the ropes of Maui."-Philadelphia In quirer. ECCENTRIC NORTH RIVER. Curious Pranks of a Tortuous Nov England Stream. Westerners tell of the queer behavioi and changes of course indulged in b3 the Missouri river, and Texans avei that for pure cussedness and general fickleness no stream of water can ap proach the Rio Grande. There is, how ever, a stream in New England where of the rest of the country hears little and which should in justice be accord ed a place in the list of queer behaving bodies of water. This is the North river in Massachu. setts. It has its source in a pond new Hanson, whence it proceeds in a tortu. ous course to the sea at Scituate. Now the distance by air line from 1lanson tt Scituate Is only ten miles. but by the North river it is forty. New Englanders aver that when the tide is coming In the North river runs upstream, and not only that, but the upper part of it, which is fresh water, also runs up. Thus this queer stream presents the strange spectacle of a fresh water river proceeding uphill. The North river's claim to eccentric Ity is not, however, limited to this fact It is so crooked that it doubles on itself. At one spot near Hanover this river, by accomplishing three loops, moves to ward the sea for a distance of only fifty feet and wanders about for a dis tance of about fifteen miles in doing It. In November, 189S, the North river got very cantankerous. It moved Its mouth three miles to the northward, thus making a present t.o the town of Marshfield of a deep harbor. In so do Ing it killed three men and converted many thousand acres of good meadow land into a salt marsh. Historically the North river Is of note as being the scene of the last Indian raid on the coast settlements.-Phiia delphia Record. The Stationer. "Stationery" has etymologically as much to do with standing as has "sta tionary." The original stationers, or stationaril, were so called because they sold their books upon stalls or "sta tions"-in London. round about old St. Paul's cathedral. In some cases against the walls of the cathedral itself. This Is one of the many trades the names of which have no direct allusion to the commodities sold. "Grocers," for in stance, were so called either because they sold "en gros," wholesale, or be cause they were "engrossers," monop olizers.-London Chronicle. Always. Time haunted her. She laughed at him, she resorted to a thousand devices whereby to discomfort him, bu't he was not to be shaken off'. At length she lost her temper. "Can't you see," she flared out reluc tantly, "that there's no room for you where beauty dwells?" "There is always," Time rejoined, touching his scythe significantly, "room for one mower."-Boston Herald. .A Hard Job.

The following is an account of what competition did toward encouraging a bank account: "I am on a newspaper. I have al ways made a salary in exce's of sim ple living requirements, but I was a free spender and did not save. "A baby'came, and I felt an added responsibility. I was afraid-actually frightened for the first time in my life. Then I gave the matter of saving some thought, but I could not decide upon any course of action. "At the office one day a business dis cussion made me see that what I need ed in my home was competition. "That night on my arrival home I said to my wife that I would, begin ning the next Saturday, give her half of my salary and I would keep the other half, and we each take an equal shire of the household expenses. "At the-end of the first month I left my bank pook on the library table. - I wanted to surprise her. That evening she handed it to me and said she thought I .was doing fine. Looking at her closely, I saw that she realized she was chalfenged. She did not speak, however,' of any intention she might have lhad .In mind. "A aaenth ,iater I found her bank book dift$ library table identically as I had-left-mine. She ]Aad beaten me, for her savings showed $10.50 more than my ..own for the corresponding month and $15 in excess of my depos its for the first month. "We are now -in a race. We both have the saving habit. We have enough to buy a home if we should joina funds." -American Magazine. The Great Big Moon. The full. moon is very deceptive to those who attempt to estimate its ap parent size in the sky. Most people would assert that the "great big moon" could entirely blot out the lovely clus ter of the&Pleiades, which glitters in the constellation of Taurus, but actual- -. ly the full' moon could, and occasion ally does,- pass through the Pleiades and only succeeds in hiding a few of the stars comprising it. So small In deed is the moon when in its full phase it dominates the night sky that a three penny piece- held at arm's length will completely eclipse it.-Pell Mall Ga zette. *An Aog.

Coffey & CULTfVATE JUDGMENT. Its Possession Is What Makes a Man Successful In Business. It was one of the intellectual shocks of my young manhood to discover that an analytical chemist could often get only $50 a month. I had long looked with awe upon the accurate percent ages and detailed reports of the ana lytical chemist. This water contains: 2.341 g:ains of such and such sub stance per gallon. I wondered at the marvelous man who could get out such fine results, and to learn that he at times gets but $50 a month was a shock. The explanation is this. The chem ical analysis of ordinary specimens Is a technical process of a perfectly definite character. If a work is definite and therefore capable of being reduced to clear cut instructions the pay that it commands is-not likely to be high, even though the work itself is complicated. It requires good memory and painstak ing obedience to instructlonis. Many' persons have these qualities. The scarce attribute is judgment, that in definable quality capable of meeting a new situation and handling it with common sense or gumption, to put it In a homely term. Judgment is indefinite. We cannot lay out instructions in advance to tell the manager how to meet situations. To buy good raw material he must learn to know the raw materials, and many of the tests he applies are too fine for words to reduce to instructions. He must decide for indefinite reasons that now is a good time to enlarge or retrench; that here is a good place to open up business; that now is a good time to buy or to run low on stock; that this man needs to be hired; that this man needs to be fired. It is in the making of decisions that successful management lies. A'ad most of these decisions are beyond rule. They are indefinite. They are judg ment.-Engineering Magazine. SHE WAS SYMPATHETIC. But Her Attempt to Be Chatty Brought an Embarrassing Moment. This is an extract from a letter writ ten by a woman who is willing to share a good joke, even if the laugh Is at her own expense: "It was a damp, windy day-the sort of day that turns straight, straggly blond hair like mine into a mass of strings and ends that stick out about the face and neck with frightful effect. I was downtown on a shopping expedi tion that was exceptionally trying, and. I knew I looked so bad that I care fnlly avoided all chance of glances into mirrors, for I was sure I could not, un der the circumstances, Improve my ap pearance much. Recklessly I entered a tearoom with a friend whom I hap pened to meet "As I placed my shopping bag on the Moor near the table at which we were to sit, another bag, exactly like my wn, was put beside it.

MAKE IT A ?AY UP WEEL Why not make the 'first weeki. in January "Pay Up Week" for this town and this community? e Why can't we all make the I rounds and pay up all of our I bills, or pay at least -as much as < possible on'each one of them. i Why can't we make this a ;own where credits are a pleas- c re, and where bad debts and y low pay and indifference are i 2nknown. We would all feel better, and t fhe people we pay would feel t ven still better, and they would a hen be able to pay what they n )we. Bills have to -be paid some e ime or other, and the beginning f f a new year is an opportune i ime to wipe them out and start n ith a-clean slate. But i allow- a ~d to run they will drag along C ~rom month to month'and in the se ~nd everybody will be wishing f verybody eise wouldn't be so t ~verlastingly slow about pay'ing what they owe. a The man who pays his bills r >romptly and starts the new t ear free from debt can always v ~et credit when he wants it, and t ie won't have to go hunting f tround for an endorser. His face 12 mnd his word will be good c nough for any business bouse. v But the fellow who allows h is e ills to run indefinit-ly and la ndifferent to tbe needs of his u :reditors is an unsafe~ risk at e >est, and his reputation for hon- a ~sty and reliability does not im t >rove with age. t This is a pretty good town and or people are generally good r m the pay. but we can make it n >etter if we want to. ~a WAR TAXES ON GERMANY. s Germany's miraculous system if financing the war gives signs a if failing at last. National loans a irove to be not a perpetual mo- ii ion machine, but a resource that 0 aay be exhausted. Dr. Helf- V erich, the secretary of the im- a >erial treasury, has told the e teichstag that war taxes must 0 >eimposed. Last August Dr. Heltierich de b lared: "During the war we ill not increase the gigantic , >urden of the people by taxa ion. The heavy burden of thous .nds of millions will be borne F brough the decades by the in tigators of the war, and not by c s." He has changed his mind, as ave most German statesmen. tpparently they have given up - ope of making "the instigators f the war"-whoever they may e-pay the bill in the form of uge indemnities. E The conviction is growing not nly in Berlin but in every cap al of Europe that there will be o indemnity to amount to any- E~ bing at the close of this war. ather there will be no victory *: *n either side crushing enough a o compel it, or all the contest-P nts will be so exhausted that n one of them will be able to payf n indemnity.s Germany. then, is beginning o face the problem of her huge .nd rapidly mounting debt. The var cost is now about $I0,080, 00. I00.. The interest on it is bout $500.000.000 a yea r, two a brds of t he total ordinary ex sene of the TUnited States .ov. j ernment, and 'nearly them proportion of the entire ordiriy revenue of Germany. Another year of war may double that, saddling Germany with a yearly interest charge of $1,000,000 as a, reminder of her tragic adven ture,-to be paid by an impovish ad and crippled population. If Germany could only have foreseen this in July,1914, need less to say there wouldn't have been any war. BIRTH OF A YEAR OF WHAT? With tne birth of the new year he question will naturally arise "What will it bring us?" Will it be-peace, or war? Will t be plenty, or want? No human being can answer hat question today, though ome may make a ludicrous Dluff at doing so. At no time in the life of the >resent generation has -the birth f a new year been fraught with o much uncertainty with re rard to the world in general and ur own country in particular. We all hope -and pray that the. var may end and t',;% tIhe world nay return to sore semblance >f sanity and commercial stabil ty. But there is no certainty mnly an intense longing for some ing that is not. We are pinning our faith to he - ability of our country to reep free from foreign entngle nents, but again there. is no-cer ainty-only an abiding faith hat may be founded upon the )hantasies of our dreams. We are looking and longings or the day to come when men vill cease to butcher one anoth r and return to the more ha- - nanizing pursuits of a peaceful ife. But our longing results oly in more looking and long g. There is no peace. We anticipate a year of great ommercial prosperity for the eople of our own country, and t will be theirs if no un oreseen: ombination of ucidents over urn the tranquility of the .a ion. But in this, too, there is n "if,".and the if is not of our iaking. We are promised a year of un xampled activity among the &tories, and in the felcls, and 2 all of the marts of trade,' but iuch of it 'will depen.d upon the ctions of other nations than urs. And we-are today a gov rnment and a -people withouj riends among other peoples' o~ bie earth. We have grown and expanded nd developed until we are the icest of all the countries of die world, and - yet our great realth is today an actual nienace Sour peace and security of the ature, for the nation that is ungry for gold will not be hoice in its mode of attack hen t'ue 'im" .for invasion ptimism a.:d with faith, with ye open~ to everyr essential fact nd with a tirm determnination > perserve and to conquer in le face of all obstacles. Let us dare to be just and ight in all of our dealings with itions and with individuals, ad when sanity returns to the rorid we will reap as we have >wn. Let us put our own house in rder by placing the country in state of defense sufficient to isure us from attack from with ut. and then let us give the ~orld to understand that we are just and righteous people, that. e seek to do harm to no man e collection of men, and that re have nothing in our hearts ut good will toward all people. The new year will bring us ynething, but what that some iing is to be will depend great upon the course we purselves ursue. Never in the history of our untry has it been put more lainly and emphatically and 4uarely up to us. TATE OF SOUTH GAROLINA, County of Clarendon. y James M. Windham, Esq., Probate Judge.
