Maty 1.?The United states Civil Service Commission has aeut a notice to post offices, warniug tl>at misleading information jg being given the public by representatives of some of the correspondence schools which sell "civil service" courses. Kor a long time, the commission has been receiving complaints from different parts of the country which idicate that opportunities for obtaining Federal employment have been greatly exaggerated. It was made clear that no school has any connection whatever with the Civil Service Commission or with any other branch of the Government, and also that the Commission has no agents who solicit applications for civil service positions or who sell "civil service" courses. No school can "guarantee" Government employment and none is given information regarding examinations, or any other information, which is not available to the genera! public. The Commission; stated that it does not recommend any school, and explained that it is not necessary for anyone to take a course with a so-called civil service school In order to compete In a civil service examination. A special point was made of the fact that Information concerning examinations may be obtained at any time, without cost, from the secretary of the Civil Service Board at any first or second class post office or from the Commission's office in Washington, D.

Many Trees Planted To Save S. C. Soil 8partanburg, May , 2.?Trees are very effective in preventing gullying and sheet erosion, way officials of the Soil Conservation Service and the Extension Service. In addition they provide fuel, posts and marketable timber. In the erosion control program in South Carolina trees are used on soils too badly eroded or otherwise unsuitable for crop production. The value of trees in this program has been recognized by the planting of more than 10,000,000 seedlings on 3,009 acres within the demonstration areas of the SCS in South Carolina. Supplementing the trees on gully banks, eroded hillsides, and other places so badly damaged that they can no longer be used profitably for crops, three million square yards have been seeded or sodded. Reforestation activities of the erosion control program have been carried beyond the boundaries of the demonstration areas. In counties where there are soil conservation associations organized by farmers in cooperation with the Extension Service and the Soil Conservation Service, 5,127,0p0 trees have been planted on 1,885 acres. In the shade of these trees, or any other trees adapted to the soil in which they spread their roots, the soil cannot waBh away. 8tate's World War Dead Columbia, May 7.?The World War claimed the lives of 68 South Carolina army officers, 934 enlisted white soldiers, 984 enlisted colored men, 1 navy officer, 85 enlisted sailors, 4 marine corps officers, and 11 enlisted marines, according to informaton in the library at the University of South Carolina.

Stockholm has been described as a composite of Scottish lake scenery, of the Hay of Naples, und of the Islands of the Aegean. It Is built on peninsulas and Islands, and there are small harbors and quays everywhere, lluudreds of boats and small steumers ply among the islands. A point of interest of the Swedish people, and the region In which they take the greatest interest, is the Island of Gottlund, with the ruins of Visby, During the Twelfth century, Vlsby was the chief trading city of the North; it built a splendid wall with 37 towers, and within constructed 16 great churches. Then the city burned; later it was looted, and a few years after pirates laid It wuste. To cap Its troubles, trade routes changed, and Vlsby had a swift decline. "Don't Give Up the Ship" Wet Lawrence's Command It was Captain I^awrence who said "Don't Give Up the Ship," and tht occasion, the battle between the American frigate Chesapeake commanded by Lawrence, and the British frlgata Shannon, off Boston harbor, June 1, 1813, notes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Captain Lawrence was mortally wounded and his ship was captured. His last words before ha died, and while the conflict was still raging were: "Tell the men to Are faster, and not to give up tha ship; fight bar till she sinks." The paraphrase "Don't give up the ship" soon became the motto of the American navy In many a campaign. i The reason that the words are often erroneously attributed to Commodore Perry is perhaps because of the fact that some time during the summer of 1813 some ladles of Buffalo had tha words sewed on a flag which they presented to Perry for his flagship, the Lawrence. The flag was used by him In the Battle of Lake Erie, September ( 10, 1813. Perry's flag Is preserved at the United States Naval academy. Names From the Bible The ordnance map of England shows that this country possesses more Scriptural place-names than any other. Jericho occurs six times, Paradise five times, and Nineveh, Mount Zion, Mount ' Ararat, and Mount Ephralm three times each. In Bedfordshire occurs Calvary Wood, and in Dorsetshire Jordan Hill. Hampshire has a Land of Nod, Cambridgeshire a Noah's Ark, and Worcestershire a Moab's Washpot. Other Scriptural names scattered here and there on the map include Hebron, Joppa, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Gideon, and Herod. The United States comes a good second In this respect, for they have eleven Canaans, eight Lebanons, sir Hebrons and as many Bethels, five Sharons, four Mount Carmels, two Bethesdas, one Bethlehem, one Nazareth, and one Mount Calvary.?TlfrBlts Magazine. ^ Man _ Man Is only a reed, the weakest plant of nature, but he Is a thinking reed. It Is not necessary that the whole universe should be In arms to crush him. A vapor, a drop of water Is sufficient to put him out of existence. But even though the universe could crush him to atoms, a man would still be more noble than that which kills him, because he la conscious that he Is dying, and of the advantage which the universe has over him, the universe knows nothing. > ' The House of Rothschild The House of Rothschild was governed in Its business activities by two well-defined policies. The first was the determination of the five brothers to conduct the whole of their business in constant co-operntlon, thus carrying ont the dying command of their father. The second was never to strain after excessive profit and, as far as human foresight could achieve it, to leave nothing to chance. Their watchword was: "Be moderate and never lose sight of the goal."

Rare Russian Instrument Gives Orchestra Effect A rare stringed musical Instrument, centuries old, recalls the wild romantic age of Russia 850 years ago, with its lively music of carefree gypsies and flery Cossacks. This Instrument, which Is called a tar, closely resembles a ukulele. The tar for hundreds of years has been the favorite musical Instrument of the Inhabitants of old Russia and Georgia and the wild-riding Cossacks of the steppes. It has 18 strings and Is played in the manner of a banjo. When played very fast it gives the sound effects of an orchestra consisting of 30 and more stringed instruments, says a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Stringed musical instruments, which are now divided Into Ave different classes, according to the manner In which the strings are set In vibration, are all developments of the Aeolian harp. This very crude instrument first consisted merely of a frame across which wires were stretched. Wind blowing across the taut metal strings produced various musical sounds. Color Psychology^ Psychology is a wonderful thing. It has muo^jo do with our success or failure. ^Phas always been with us, but by another name. Now comes a professor who tells us that the color of the necktie has much to do with one's sparking success. Doubtless many a fellow has wondered why he got heart failure Just as he was about to "pop the question." But It was due to the wrong necktie. This sparkologist says that an orange-yellow tie Is necessary to put courage into the timid soul at that moment when a fellow needs every ounce of courage he can muster. He suggests that the girl wear the same colors, to help him along. Orange-yellow will inspire confidence/ Green seems to be the usual color for ' bashful suitors, and that's the reason they arp bushful. But it doesn't seem that color would have much to do with it, since love Is blind.?Ohio Farmer. Wettins Now Windsors Queen Victoria was the last of the Hanoverian line.
