Pegoud recently caused a sensation by droping safely from an aeroplane with a parachutte. He announced today that he intended to turn a somersault in air with his aeroplane and his movements were followed closely by a large body of observers. When he reached a height of about 2.700 feet, he shot his machine straight toward the earth and darted downward with his motor working at full power. After plunging about 1,260 feet with a frightful velocity he changed the position of his rudder and caused the aeroplane to turn a complete verticle circle. The machine then glided down in a huge colplone and alighted gently on the ground. MONEY FOR MILITA South Carolina Companies Will Receive Washington.

Children are often fearful of the water, especially at the seashore, and kind-hearted parents will not thrust a terror-stricken baby into the surf. John Muir, in the Atlantic Monthly, advises the need of caution in this matter by relating how he was made miserable as a child by being plunged again and again into the sea by a strong-armed servant, despite his Bhrieks. "As the time approached for this terrible bathing," he says, "I used to hide in the darkest corners of the house, and oftentimes a long search was required to find me." ANOTHER RELATION. "Xo, I'm sorry, but I'll be a sister to you." "Pardon me, I have plenty of sisters. What I wanted was a mother." T iJHC? HOW IT HAPPENED. Teller?I see that Hennepeck has developed into a free thinker of late. Grimshaw?Yes; his wife has been away from home for a week? Puck. Voices of the Wood. To some people the trees talk?If you are to believe the people. They dare not try to put what they get into language, because they know that to do so will be to silence the trees. Living in cities they naturally get out of touch with trees, but put them back in the forest and, likely as not, they will be caught in a listening attitude, a listening and watching attitude. That little ripple up toward the topmost leaves that a painter would have to paint golden or liquid or both, if it were the impression he was after, delivers its message to the one who understands. That urgent sweep of the strong gray wind going westward communicates something to the trees and the trees pasB it on ?to the one who can hear. "Take me back to the wood," said Jeanne d'Arc, "and I shall hear the voices." Monster Rudder for Liner. A rudder with a doorway into the interior is a feature of the Cunarder Aquitania, which is shortly to be launched. The rudder has just been placed in position, and is so large that a doorway has been constructed in the lower part to admit workmen, so that they can remove the pin which connects the rudder to the ship. This pin is four feet long, and bigger than the heaviest projectile made for modern artillery. When delivered at the builders' yard the rudder was in three parts After they had been connected and laid upon the ground the distance that had to be walked to pass round the rudder was over 100 feet. Applying Logic. A Sunday school class was studying - looonn n M ft thp tPftCheT U lilisoiuuai j ivoux/4* M..u was telling of customs among the Eskimos. She said: "I have read an article by a traveler among these people, and it is the duty of the Eskimo's wife to chew her husband's clothes to keep them soft and pliable, as tho skins get stiff, and therefore, a woman is chosen according to her chewing ability, every man endeavoring to get a wife with strong teeth." One little boy, with a look of intense nausea on his faoe. blurted out: "Why don't they get 'em a billygoat?" Dickens in Australia. It is said that when a Scotsman leaves old Scotia to make his home in some other land he solaces his exile with the book of Robert Hums' poems, and that the Scot abroad comes to be even better versed in the rhymes of the peasant poet than the Scot who has remained at home. It has been remarked that the same is true as regards the Englishman and Charles Dickens. W. M. Hughes, acting prime minister of Australia, goes further than this and asserts that Dickens had an importune inuueuue on Australian democracy, and through men who read him and loved him, men who imbibed his hatred of shams and humbugs, who wanted freer and better conditions, to have some other place to look to than the workhouse, had made Australia what is today. Adam Smith says that nobody ever imagined a god of weight?and he might have added of the multiplication table either. It may bo that the relations of nature are all as inevitable as that twice two are four. DR. L. B. KERRISON DENTIST . CHERAW, S. C. PHONES: OFFICE 222.

CLOTHES TO REDEEM WOMEN HI! /* LI-- Tk?* Illinois commune r)as i nwi; nat Dress Will Help to Reform Female Prisoners. A well-dressed woman can look her fellow-men in the eye, not necessarily in a flirtatious manner, but with the conviction that no fault can he found with her apparel, says Leslie's Weekly. She can go into a business office, a restaurant, rhe church or the theater with no apologetic shrinking from the gaze of the multitude, and she is therefore at her best. Evidently this theory is responsible for the conclusion to which the Illinois Women's Reformatory committee has arrived, as it declares that many penal institutions fail in the return of women inmates because corsets and fine clothes are not provided. "Self-respect is the first element toward the reclaiming of a woman's soul," is the assertion of Mrs. Minna S. Jones, chairman of the committee. "Dress women prisoners well and they will be reformed." SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS. As a substitute for glass, sea shells are used to splendid advantage in the Philippines. The windows in the main entrance of the Philippine General hospital, Manila, are a fine example. The sea-shell windows may also be seen in the old churches. Manilla alone uses in the neighborhood of 5,000,000 kapas shells each year for windows. The largest sized shells will square about three inches. These sell for from $4 to $5 a thousand, according to quality. Shells that will form panes of about two square inches sell for anywhere from $1.50 to $3 a thousand, and are used for ordinary purposes, in dwellings, stores and the like. The shells are translucent and the light comes through them in soft pearl-gray tone. Our I Prompt Servi If you have real estate of results, list it with us. We K charges are only per rent.
