deferring to WW. Whitney 'a ujj
' favorable hUitude toward education
( and the preen of early American
titntory, he expressed hie disappro
j val of the Knowing teuduuey amouK
members of 4 he dally press of t IiIh
country to appeal to the batter in
stincts of their constituency by de
tailed reports of such trials aa those
of Thaw and of HeaUie. He said
that it tu regretable that even Ini
.hi, both ancient and of the present
tiniH, the greatest works are such
as to appeal mostly to those ten
dencies which are not moral. Hay
ing that the decline of the glory of
Athens and Home was due entirely
to their failure to uplift their citi
zens into an atmosphere of iutellec
tual freedom, he admonished his
audience that to fulfill Us duty to
posterity. South Carolina must exer
cise a greater interest in education.
Mr, Smith said Jefferson's great
est pride was not that he had been
President of the United States, but
that he was "author of the Declar
ation of independence, author of re
ligious freedom and founder of the
University of Virginia," as is evi
denced by an epitaph upon the shaft
at Montlcello, penned by the great ?
I>emocrat'b own hand. He spoke of
the go?d influences that eminate
from the Churqb, the School and
?t.he Home, nnd emphasized the fact
that true greatness has its source
only in them. He deplored the ini- ,
quituous tendencies of wealth and
the destructive policy of might and
force and said that to attain that
goal which is the aim of all en
JigMened ..rnrica.var.- auch. , tendencies .
and such a policy must be combatted
with education.,
It is regretable that Mr. Smith

carries a six-inch silver-gilt badge and
number. The badge consists of the
royal arms and a motto in an oval sur
mounted by a crown, and from it
hangs a silver greyhound, which given
the messengers their romantic title
of "silver greyhounds." These ar*
often employed to carry personal mes
sages from the king and queen to
their relatives on the continent. In
Queen Victoria's reign a messenger

Important part of the development of

are only accessible through the water
courses. and the great expense of
erecting land plants for the utilization
of the lumber resources makes such
It course Impracticable. Therefore,
sawmills and other manufacturing, es
tablishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed. After the lumber
is prepared in a sawmill It can b?
packed In a way that makes trans
portation much more economical than
any system of logging. Plants for
the preparation of tannin extracts
have also been established in this
manner. The plants are built on flat
boats. 20ft feet long by 27 feet wide,
capable of carrying a load of 470 tons.
Up-to-Date Advertising.
The president of a Pittsburgh sav

one morning and said: "What this
Institution wants is some striking ad
vertising material, something that has
a thought iu it, something that will
catch the eye and command the mind.
Fix me up an ad that will make a
hit whnn it is published In the morn
ing papers." Two hours later the ad
vertising man laid this on the bank
president's desk: "If Elijah were liv
ing today, there would be no ravens to
feed him. That brand of raven has
gone to roost forever. The only bird
that will feed you now Is theeagle on

Squaring Accounts.
A French medical weekly Tecords a
way of discouraging over-enterprising
tradesmen. One of these sent a
Strasburg doctor a box of cigars,
which had not been ordered, together
with a bill for fifteen marks. The
accompanying letter stated that "I
have ventured to send these on my
own . initiative, being convinced that
you will appreciate their exquisite
flavor." In due course, the doctor
replied. "You have not asked me
for a consultation, but I venture to
send you three prescriptions, being
convinced that you will be quite as
satisfied *itli them as I am with your
cigars. As my charge for a prescrip
tion is five marks, this makes us
quits." ? London Chroniole.

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BEST
Pretty Good Path to Travel If On* la
Sura Ha Haa Selected the
Right Highway.
In spite of all the talk, moat of ua
would atlll rather travel on a rail
road than la an aeroplane or Sub
marine boat. You don't have to set
clear off of the road to keep out of
a rut. You have known those who
would five up a position and make an
entire change iu. business for- "a. Jot
more money." They would come
around at noon, all rigged out like the
flags of all nations, and tell you about
the "snap." Then they would' disap
pear. and the next vou would hwr of
them they would be needing plugs for
the holes In their shoes or wearing a
straw hat In October.
It is a pretty safe guesa that it will
pay you to go to the end of the road
that you are on if you keep in the cen
ter of it. If it is straight enough and
wide enough for you to see those who
have reached the etid of it; if you
care to go the why the best of them
went, for the best tbey got for the
ing, keep going.? Exchange.
Senses of Plants.
The sense most developed in plants
la that of sight, which enables them
to see light but not to distinguish ob
jects. This sense limitation la found
among many living creatures, such
as the earthworm, oyster and coral,
etc., which possess no localized visual
organ, but give proof of their lumin
ous impressions by the contractions
(hat they manifest when exposed to a
ray of sunshine. Similarly, it is eafty
to gauge the influence of light on
plants. Cultivate a plant in a room
with a window only on one side and
its stalks in growing will incline to
ward the source , of light. Physiolo
gists explain this by suggesting that
the side to the dark grows more
quickly than that exposed to the light.
There remains, however, the fact that
the plant has reacted to the light of
whose effect it was conscious.
A sense common to many plants is
that of touch. Of this the most illus
trative example is, as ita name, im
plies. the sensitive plant. Another
leaf, responsive to the touch, is the
catch-fly, whose two halves close down
upon the other by means of a central
hinge. ? Harper's Weekly.
On Life's Road.
All our weariness of suffering la
without avail to leave even a little
memory among those for whom the
work Is done. All that ia wrought In
despair, all that is loveless and me
chanical, falls to the ground. We live
for even so much as a brief life only
tn that which carries the breath of |
our being, the love of our heart. It ia
not in ceaseless routine and grinding
that we live, nor In what IS. Small and
anxious. Machines will continue the
tale of that forever. No cog will ever
be missed in that endleaa chain. But
we phall not wholly die in the song
we carry in our heart, the love with
which we love the being of another,
the smile we give another wayfarer at
dusty noonday. ? Collier's Weekly.
Colors. ofLJirspss.
The dark-red color of certain grapaa j
is due to a compound of tannin which
all varletiea of the vine contain. The
color aeema to depend on the com
bined action of the air! light and heat.
The change In color la produced
naturally In the viae by meana of a
specific ferment which carries the
oxygen of the air to the grape. Theae
ferments are often the areata of
coloring in vegetable subsiaaoes, aa
tbey are often seen in afjplW and
