Hirsch Bros. & Co., Camden, S. C. ?HJ II' B GREAT DIVERSITY OF TONGUE | Over Four Thousand Languages Ar# Spoken and Written by rloue People?. How many pcntohs know how'umuy languages there are In the world? The average mtiti'M knowledge or abll fty to spoil k languages rarely excm-dH two besides his native tongue. The Emperor Elands Joseph, when visit ing a Hod Cross hospital, spoke with the patients In their own languages. It may appear strange, hut It is nev erthelcsM true, that there are over 4, < H H ) languages spoken hy luanklnd, while the number of dialects exceeds thin. There are more than sixty vo cabularies In Brassil, apd in Me^co the Nahua Is broken up Into some 700 di alects. There are hundreds iu Borneo, while In Australia there is uo classi fying the Complexities. Let us as sume that 50 dialects, on nn average, belong to each language, and we have the colossal total of a quarter of a mil* llou linguistic abilities. A century hence the probability la that there will be only four languages of imjiortanee lu the world. Central Europe may produce a newer and more straight forward German language, English may reign alone over the North American continent, and a more business-like Hpantsh will be used In South American states, while Russia may take on some more rich Slavonic dialect, which will blend the races of eastern Europo and central Asia into a harmonious federation. SIMPLE DIET AND EXERCISE Road to Health for Many ? Man Who la Suffering tho Tort urea of Dyapepaia. ? - ' The sin of gluttony is common, and therefore much condoned, but like every other violation of nature's laws huve a penalty. Fat, inefficiency, sluggish men tality, the reddened nose, the pimpled face, certain of the chronic skin erup tions und much fatigue and nervous ness are due to the abuse of the diges tive apparatus. Illch, Indigestible foods in large quantities, highly seasoned to stimulate jaded palate, are forced into u body already rebellious from reple tion. Exercise Is largely limited to walking to and from the table and bodily deterioration proceeds rapidly. Many an overfed dyspeptic, sudden ly dragged by the stern hand of cir cumstances from a life of physical ease and plenty and forced to work out of doors, suddenly discovers that his Herui-invalidlsm has gone, that a chronic skin derangement of many years' standing has disappeared and that a new vigor and rest of llfo has been given hi in. Not everyone can spend his whole ' time In the open air, but a certain j amount of exercise and plain, whole ! some food in an amount not exceed j ing the body's needs can be had by al I most everyone. Simple moderate diet ; and exercise make for health. These rtre not faddish food theories, they are Just plain common sense. Youngster Lacked Humor. A pig in a crate Is novel enough to : capture city attention any day in the i year. The crate stood on a pavement i in front of ?n express otllce. and the black-and-white spotted porker, with , its qui very nose and t up-handled tall, accepted his prison bars with tho| philosophy of a race that spends most of Its years doing time in a pen. Naturally, passing people gave the ? show a word or giggle of comment, and one ragtag boy shrilled out to any one who would listen: "Ketch on to de c'nary in de cage!" "That isn't a canary bird. It's a : pig. The entirely correct diagnosis was voiced by a little chap whose neatness showed for a mother's tenderest care. He couldn't take a Joke, but it was equally obvious that never, never would he take, say. a pocketbook that didn't belong to him. But the look of pitying scorn on the ragtag's face and his whoop of deri sion brought a round of gulTaws that would have done credit to a C'haplln tilm. ? Washington Star. Argue but Don't Wrangle. In ordinary life friction is some thing to ho avoided. Argument that de serves the name Is too difficult a thing for dally practice, calling as it does f'?r such painstaking care In the ox pressing exactly of one's Ideas to, avoid their being misunderstood, for such patience to listen, to wait one's turn, to keep one's temper. Dependent upon all these things for Its very "^l^tence. argument slftiply 1 cannot he entered upon carelessly without degenerating into mere wrungling.

I DEMAND FOR CEDAR Tennessee Farmers Get Good Money for Old Fences. . ? | In Many Cases Agent* Are Exchanging the Long Used Halla for Modern Woven Wire ? Wood Needed I for Lead Penoila. Poor Aladdin was decidedly peeved when his well -in eanlng mother ex changed an old ftruKM lump she found kicking about the houae foe a hrand new shiny one. Naturally, since the old lamp was worth many times as much as the new one, as everyone who has read of Aladdin's Lamp knows. In Tennessee ? and In inuny other localities now ? tliey are exchanging hrand new shiny wire fences for dis reputable old rull, zig-zag, Virginia, anake and stake-and-rlder fences once laboriously split and put up by honest sons of toll generations ago. And the best part of It lu that no one is peeved. The people who give away the brand new and expensive woven wire fences are delighted to take the old rail fences lu exchange and the | farmers are proud and happy to get ! the wire fences, so everyone Is glad. The answer Is "Lead pencils." More than two years ugo we had stripped our cedar lauds of practically all the old growth, and since then of all the rest of the cedars, except the mere saplings. Then the pencil manu facturers started to bring cedar from abroad and then the wur came along ? the crowned heuds of Europe should worry hImhiI lead pencil shortage in America ? and It began to look as though lead pencils would become as costly as eggs or coal or other com modities until certain agents discov ered that throughout many sections of the country there were miles nnd miles of the very best sort of cedar, thor oughly dried and seasoned, serving as fences along highways nnd between fields and pastures." Some of the old rails were sent to a pencil manufacturing concern. The wood was cut up Into strips and proved to be the very best pencil cedar the manufacturers had been able to get hold of for years. There was no sea soning to do ? It was In prime condi tion for making Into pencils the mo ment It reached the shops. "Get all you can of this wood," was the order to agents. i "What will you take for your rail fences?" one Tennessee farmer was asked. I "Gosh, I wouldn't sell them fences. It would take years to spilt up more rails," said the furmer. The agent had an idea. ? "If 1 put in modern woven wire fences may 1 have the old wooden ones?" "You bet you can, until they come nnd get you." was the answer. "Who come and get me?" asked the agent. "The crazy house people, where you broke out from," snorted the old farm er. But the agent ordered the fenc ing. and his men put It up and shipped the old cedar rails, which were from 2f> to 75 years old, to the factories, and the value of the cedar was so much greater than the cost of the wire fences that the pencil makers were de lighted. Sleep on Life Preservers. It must afford considerable consola tion to the navy recruit to realize that the mattress on which he sleeps so comfortably at night will stand him in good stead in ease of an accident to the ship. In fact the very buoyancy which makes It such a comfortable bed Is also the quality which makes it pos sible for it to be converted at a mo ment's notice Into a life preserver, says Popular Science. The mattresses are stuffed with kapok, a lighter-than-cork material j which Is Imported from the West In- I dies In bales similar to bales of cot- j ton. It is made from the seeds and silk of a tree not unlike the cotton wood tree, but instead of being In puffy balls, th?' kapok Is in slender threads, which w hen compressed make n mass that Is six times more buoyant than cork. I Thin layers of the kapok are In- j closed in strong ticking for the mat tresses. Each mattress Is provided . with tapes long enough to tie around j the body and over the shoulders. | Will Conserve Gasoline. Whether .John I). Rockefeller likes it or not. Kev. Dr. Thonins Glynn of , Heaver Falls.

The buoyancy engines are assisted and speeded by gasoline motors on the same principle as the well-drilling ma- ? chines receive their auxiliary motion from gas engines.
