With Uncle Sain.
? Hendersonville, N. C., Dot;. 20. ? -
| The French Broad Hustler and the
j Western North Carolina Times, two
weekly publications published in
Hendersonville, were "up in the air"
yesterday in ordinary street par
lance, but in the vernacular of Un
cle Sam, they, were up in (lie post
office, and held up at that, the
latter publication being held up for
24 hours. Tne whole difficulty was
occasioned by the innocent little
word "chance" occuring in an ad
vertisement. Postoffico authorities
held that it would be a violation
of the postal regulations to dispatch
the papers, and then the publish
ers were in a dilemma as to what
course to pursue-'-whother to insist
upon mailing the papers us they
were, clip out the advertisement, or
reprint the papers. The question
of publishing the papers again sug
gested a big task, as half the type
had been distributed. Commission
er of Labor and Printing, M. L.
Shipman, editor of the Hustler, ar
rived from ltaleigh just before pub- j
lication, in time to face the diffl
culty and after suffering much "men
tal anguish," as he put it, and be
ing in the ''greatest mess in his
nowspaper experience," which dated
back 20 years, when he first estab
lished the Hustler at Brevard and
printed it on an old hand power
Washington press, he put his force
to clipping out tho little advertise
ment. Editor T. R. Barrows, of
the Times, wired Third Assistant
P.ostmaster General J. J. Britt, re/"
garding tlie matter, to receivcy^a
reply to the effect that the ppfcers
were unmailable. He began /On the
clipping process after a goodly por
tion of his papers had been mailed
and dispatched. The task was no
easy one for him, as it was his
Christmas edition of 28 pages and
contained four "chance" advertise
ments. According to former Editor
Tom Valentine, they ?cut the whole
gizzard out of the paper." Those
which were held up, were mailed
last night, 24 hours late. The little
advertisement in question as pub
lished by both papers, was that of
W. H. Hawkins & Son, jewelers. It
was said to.be a violation of Section
573 of the postal laws and regula
tions, subject to a penalty of $1,000.
The trouble started this week when
Postoffice Inspector C. W. Setzer,
of Asheville, discovered, it is said,
t^at "chance" circulars had boon
mailed through the local office. Tho
question as to chance advertisements
were discussed, as a result of which
the papers were examined by the
officials and were consequently held
up. The final outcome of tho mat
ter is awaited with much interest
by Hendersonville people as it is ?in
derst.ood th2lt? various kinds of mail
matter of this nature have been
mailed here.
? Recital.
; On last Friday afternoon the mu
j sic pupils of Miss Alborta Team
I gave a most charming recital at her
: home on Broad street. Miss Team
has a very large and enthusiastic
I class and almost every one of them
Kave a number which was plpA&ing j
j in effect, showing very excellent [
training. After the recital they
i were invited down stairs where a
(delightful surprise awaited them ?
a beautiful tree, adorned with, all
the festive trappings of Christmas
and laden with presents from an
appreciative teacher to pupils who
had done their best for her tho year
round It was a happy^. occasion,
and all receiving a reward d? merit,
resolved ? to put forth their very
' best efforts in the future.

Factory Lighting.
A spoclul report on Illumination In'
factorien states that as regards arti>
ilclal ilium Inatlon tliero ^ooidh to be
llttjo to chose between lighting by
electric glow lunijm and by modem
systems of incandescent nan. lfllec- !
trie light lias Jho advantage of being
constant and requiring little attention
beyond tho systematic dusting and
renewal of lamps. The gas systems
generally produce a whiter and more
powerful light that electrlo current,
but the units are apt to vary much
In efficiency, owing to the liability ol
the mantle to deteriorate. Careful at
tentlon, therefore, is required to re
place any that show signs of weak
ness, Electric light, of course, causes
no vitiation of the atmosphere; but
in the inodorn systems of gas lighting
the, amount of gas burnt is so small
and tho combustion so complete that
the offcct on the air Is minimized.
For the perfect local lighting of any
I>olnt of work the three following con
ditions must be fulfilled: (1) The il
lumination must be adequate, (2)
"glare" effects must bo absent, and
(3) no troublesome shadows must b?
cast on tho work.
World's Largest Index.
On Beacon Hill in Boston, under the
golden dome of the state house, is one
of the largest indexes in the world. In
fact, tho Russian public index is the
only one known to be larger. More
than nine million names, giving
births, marriages and deaths In Mas
sachusetts from 1843, make a complete
record, showing not only where peo
ple were born and where they died,
but also statistics which are vital In
making up calculations. Before this
time the records were kept in tho dif
ferent towns, bnt now they are all con
centrated in tho state house in Boston.
In a relatively small space all these
records are preserved, and as births,
marriages. and deaths come in, different
forms of cards are used, and a great
variety of names, Grecian, Assyrian,
Italian, and others now mingle with
good old New England names that
have been on the records since the
landing of the Mayflower.
The CameTa Peculiarity.
The camel alone among animals
does not perspire with its entire skin.
It perspires only in the back of the
neck, and so when traveling in ex
treme heat does not require a contin
ual supply of water in order to replace
tho moisture evaporated through the
pores.
A curious consequence of this sin
gularity is tfce fluctuation. within four
degrees, of the blood temperature of a
healthy camel. That Is a rise of tem
perature of four dogrees. which in a
human being and in other mammals
would be a sign of fever, is a normal
'unction with the camel.
