THE HERO IN FRANCE.
Men of Science Take Precedent Over
Soldiers Now.
To old notion that military heroes
held first place In the esteem of the
French people m\mt be dismissed from
the mind. If the French ever wor- ]
shipped the soldier they have been
cured, and the proof seems to rest
In the result of the plebiscite taken
by the Petit Parisien on the pre-eminence
of the great Frenchmen of
the nineteenth century. As there were
15,000,000 answers to the paper's questions
a very fair expression of the
opinion of the nation was secured.
If the great soldier was still the
idol of France, Napoleon should have
received by far the most votes, yet he
was only fourth iu the cont<*st. Pasteur.
Victor Hugo and Gambetta each
led the great genius of war?Pasteur
with 1.338,425 votes, Hugo with 1,227,103,
and Gaml>etta with 1,155,672. Napoleon
was closely pressed by Thiers,
and in sixth place came 1 >azara Carnot
the war Minister of revolutionary.
France. Curie appears seventh in the
list.
Trees Turned to Newspapers.
The products of the paper mills
of the country, mostly in Now England
and the North Central States,
have increased 18-fold since 1850. Over
3,500,000 cords of wood are being
used every year in making pulp in
our paper mills. Trees are l>eing turned
into newspapers at. a rate which
is causing much alarm to those sch ntists
interested in preserving the forests.
leading publishers have taken
time by the forelock and bought thousands
of square miles of virgin forest
in Newfoundland.
Rubber From Wheat.
An English inventor declares ho i
has made rubber from wheat and that
his process is commerc.ially practicable.
1T his claims prove true he will
revolutionize the rubber business. He
insists his new product is genuine
rubber and not an imitation or substitute,
and in proof shows samples winch
have been successfully vulcanized.

Our Arrival to the South.
The Argentine Republic threatens to
be a greater rival of the United States
than is a| predated by most persons.
Because o. the location 01 the country,
the climate is a little less subject
to great variations than that of the
United States, and all the crops that
can be raised in this country
can he grown in the Argentine Republic
with much less lisk than here.
The cereal crops and cattle-raising are
very flourishing and a very pro. ising
market is being opened up in liiuropo.
New English Gas Mantle.
An improved British gas mantle,
?aid to he as remarkable as the newly
invented German mantle, uses a
form of copper cellulose impregnated
with certain salts. The new English
mantle is dipped in a solution of
thorium and cerium, in which is added
an ingredient called "laddite." which
' ko adds lo itk strength and life that
it has been uninjured alter burning
2500 hours..
Prevalence of Phthisis.
Twenty years observation of phthisis
over a district in Dartmoor and
North Devon, England, lias convinced
investigators that populations exposed
to strong prevalent rainy winds
have a higher death rate from consumption
than populations sheltered
from them. The contrasts in the
phthisis death rate in the sheltered
and exposed parishes are very marked.
Temperature of the Moon.
Astronomers long ago came to the
conclusion that tiie moon's surfaco
is very hot during the height of the
lunar day. which lasts two weeks, and
very cold during the lunar night,
which is equally long. These extremes
of temperature reach their height
at the lunar noon and midnight and
are greater than any natural temperatures
on tiie earth.
varieties or sponges.
About ten specie? of "vegetable
sponges" are now cultivated in the
warmer parts of Africa and Asia, especially
in Algeria. The fruit is edible
before maturity, but on ripening
the. pulp sej>arates from the fibrous
material, which then becomes an excellent
substitute for real sponge for
the toilet, bathroom and many other
purposes. The Algerian sponges ore
in large demand in Paris.
A Rulers Pastime.
Harlbullah Kahn is Ameer of Afghanistan.
His piincipal amusement is
cooking, and this is general with all
other meat of the country. It |is
said that he can cook better than those
appointed for the work. Fridays are
usually devoted to this amusement,
all his retinue helping in the preparation
of the viands, which, when cooked,
they sit down and eat together.
Missionaries in Korea.
Korea is probably more responsive
to missionary effort than any Oriental
country. A Methodist missionary
writes: "it is my honest conviction
that had wo the proper missionary
force Korea would be a Christian na*
?v<>k r?r ten years."
GRINDSTONES SHOHT-LI VLl).
| I tain and Sun Hud For Them. and
Some liiist Hut Nix Months.
"Most persons," said the hardware
drummer, "have the Idea that If
there Is one thing In life a man doesn't
have to buy twice It Is a grindstone.
The fact Is that they are
ais< n' the best sillers we have.
"The life of a grindstone is not
very long. From two to three years
on a farm and from a year to a year
and a half In a blacksmith shop put
moHt of them to the bad. It sometimes
happens if a man draws a poor
stone that it will ho out of service inside
of six months.
"There are a good many things
about a grindstone that most persons
don't know. For Instance, a mistake
most farmers make Is in leaving the
stone-uncovered. When I wns a hoy
the usual place for the grindstone
was out by the orchard, where It
would he handy for the men in the
fields. The wise man nowai*. /?
houses his grindstone.
"Let a good drenching rnin come
along, and the stone will absorb a lot
of moisture. Often it never becomes
wholly dry again.
"Some persons have the idea that
letting the sun shine on a moistureladen
stone will bring it out all
right. I'snally the sun lias a damaging
effect. The defect will not be no

soft nnd crumbles.
"Most of the grindstones used In
this country come from Ohio ami Indiana.
Cleveland Is the great center
of the Industry. Grindstones are
made of a quart/, like sandstone.
Every grinding leaves new points of
the stone protruding, and they never
us a rule, wear perfectly smooth.
"Another reason why a stone Is
cast aside after a couple of years'
service Is that. It wears down considerably
and too many revolutions become
necessary to sharpen the tools.
The wear is usually most on the softest
part of the stone, and it acquires
u jiggly motion that is not pleasant.
"There is practically no difference
in the quality of the stones turned
out, and the difference in price, ranging
for the ordinary ones from $f> to
$7, is due to the character of the
frame and the quality of the wood
used. Many of the stones sold to 'he
the big ranchers and farmers <re
equipped with power attachments to
he run hv windmill force or gasoline
engine.
"The farmer is the best customer
for grindstones. In later years the
blacksmiths and machinists have
pretty generally taken to the use of
emery wheels. These cost more, but
they last a great deal longer."
1/ook After the Hoys,
We often wonder why it is so many
young men can be seen loafing upon
our streets until a late hour of night.
Many of them are from our best
homes. The fathers of these young
men, many of them at least, are
numbered among our best citizens.
If their cow or their horse or even
their favorite dog was away from
home after dark they would be out
on a search, but their own children
can roam the town all night with apparent
no effort being made to find
them.
The boy seems to be turned loose
at a tender age to wonder at will into
the paths of sin and vice and then
we wonder where all our tramps and
worthless specimens of humanity
come from. It is a regrettable fact
that too many of them come from
seed germinated in good homes and
then sown in a careless manner upon
our streets and hack alleys.
Reader, is your boy wasting his
time upon our streets? If so had you
not, at least, look after him as carefully
at nightfall as you would your
horse and cow. We do not intimate
that this evil exists to a greater extent
in this community than in our
sister towns, but the evil seems universal
and increases in attitude as
the years roll by.

A young man named Youngblood,
who is said to he from Newberry, is
wanted by the Carolina National
Rank of Columbia on the charge of
forgery. He worked the bank in
question for $1500 and then skipped

We heard on the street the other
day of a man who claimed he was
too poor to take his home paper, but
all the same he read a notice in one
of our county papers, telling how to
prevent a horse from slobering, and
sent $1.50 for receipt. When the
$1.50 worth of information came it
said: "Teach your horse how to spit.

w. Murray, now living-in Chicago,
has a sentence of one year's imprisonment
awaiting him in Sumter. It
will be remembered tbat he left the
state when the supreme court decided
against him. Why does not the
sheriff of Sumter county arrest Murray
and bring him back to serve his
sentence?
The advertising merchant is the
one who does the business in these
days of push and enterprise. There
are more newspaper readers today
than ever before in the history of the
world. The newspaper places your
i business under the eyes of the buyer,
. He sees what he wants, and, knowing
where to find it looks up the wide

A dispatch from Chesterfield to (
The State says Wednesday at 12 o'- 5
clock, within two and a half miles
of that town, 011 tlie plantation owned
by Dr. A. M. Redfern, one of the
most dastardly crimes known to man
was attempted upon the 15-year-old '
daughter of Mr. J. VV. Threatt, Dr.
Redfern's overseer, by Ned Cash, a 1
big, burly, black negro.
The girl was hunting eggs when
accosted by the ngro. lie grabbed
her and had he not been in a ditch
while she was on the bank he might '
have accomplished his design.
As he ran off the father of the j
girl, Mr. Threatt, shot at him, part
of the load taking effect in his head.
Officers started in pursuit with bloodhounds,
but on their way met another
negro who told them that Cash
would be along in a few minutes, and I
even while they were talking they
looked down the railroad and saw

Post of lice Srlt Supporting.
The Spartanburg Journal says i
there was a record broken in the
postoffice department last week. The ,
postmaster general turned into the 1
treasury $22,359,120, the largest
amount for one quarter in the history
of the oflice. This was not so <
remarkable for the department is 1
growing all the time and the receipts
naturally increase. But the amount
exceeded the expenditures by $1,800,815.
This is a record sure enough. It
indicates a good business administration
and a financial index to the prosperity
of the country it is decidedly
encouraging.
Now that the postofTice is making
an effort to get on even a better business
footing, more carefully weighing
the mails and adjusting railway
payments to correspond, there seems
a prospect of its becoming actually
a self supporting department. This
will be cheerful news to the general
public, but it has a rather ominious
ring for the express companies, telegraph
and telephone companies and
others of the great public utilities
now run at immense profit by private
corporation and whose constant claim
has been in nast that the government
i could do such work as they are doing
cheaply and at a profit.
! Postal service is about the cheap'
est great service the public enjoys
, and no one can say that it is not
about the best also. It is neverthe
less inferior to the postal services of
> En viand, Germany and France, for
s it permits a lot of rapacious express
r companies to skim the cream of the
x service and skin the people of the
United States.

When the magistrate asked Bjelik

tield up a crooked little finger and

"She did that," he exclaimed
hrough an interpreter, "and she
makes me sleep under the bed and

s jealous, and when she sees me as
much as speak to another woman
she beats me."
"How is this?" demanded Magistrate
Finn of Katherine. "Do you

"Yes, sometimes," replied the woman.
"How often?" persisted the magistrate.
,
"Whenever he needs it; sometimes

"Why do you make him sleep unier
