Parker & Tolleson are the agents for Cherokee county for the Bystrom Gravity Gasoline Lamps, with the im proved Bystrom bnrner. It is claimed for this burner that it’gives three times the light of a kerosene lamp at one-fifth the cost. Quite a number of the burners have already been sold. Lumber continues to come to the city by the car load and the lumber wagons from the saw mills in the up per part of the county are busy bring ing it here every day, but the work men seem to be able to consume it as fast as it comes to town. In fact it is difficult to keep enough material on hand to keep the building opera tions going on. Miss Dot Erqhuart, of Biackburg, well and favorably known in Gaffney, has been appointed one of the teach ers in the Brookiand school. Brook- land is a village just across the river from Co'umbia. but is a town of considerable size and the school truMtees have displayed excellent judgement in the selection of st least one of t heir teachers when they chose Miss Dot.

Not since the days of the Buffalo exposition has there been such a scene of activity about the Smithsonian workshops in Washington, down near the water front, as at present. Tax idermists, artists and general workmen are hard at work preparing the ex hibits of the National museum, Smith- sonion institution and bureau of eth nology for the St. Louis exposition, says the Washington Post. At the beginning of the present sea son Professor William II. Holmes, chief of the bureau of ethnology, de cided to reproduce in miniature the wonderful palaces and temples of the semicivillzed Mayos, Zapotecs, Quiches and other tribes of southern Mexico and Central America. He at first in tended to have as many as twelve such reproductions, but the work of making these miniatures has proved so difficult that the number has been reduced to five. The difficulty has been that ow ing to the wealth of ornament and sculpture on these buildings it is Im possible to cast the parts from molds. In most cases the miniature reproduc tions of these temples and palaces have simply been carved by hand from solid blocks of plaster of parks. Three of these miniatures have been completed—the Temple of Xolchicolcos in Yucatan, the palace of the old Mix- tec kings at Mitla, Mexico, and the Cosa dvl Gozernador in Yucatan, the making of which occupied nearly three months. Work has been started on the fourth of the group, the so called Castle of Chichen-Ztza. The next to follow will be the Temple of Palenque, on the fa cade of which is carved the peculiar Maya cross, the symbol which so puz zled the 111 >nks and priests in the train of Cortes’ army and which caused them to argue that St. Thomas must have visited America and half way Christianiz 'd the natives long before the coming of Columbus. Among tiie Smithsonian taxidermists more rapid progress is being made. The work of mounting the big three horned giraffe is about linished, and the mounting of the Norwegian elk, the Alaskan musk ox and the Marco Polo sheep is also well under way. Mr. Charles Knight’s reproduction of the big stegosaurus is also nearing comple- F'or ir'ine.

Mr Dooley (not of Chicago), paint er, Lancaster, N H, got the job of painting the Episcopal parsonage He was used to a paint, as pure as Devoe, but weak and short-measure —he didn’t know it was weak or short-measure. Dooley surveyed the job, and said it would take 20 gallons. Mr L F Moore, our agent, offered to give 10 gallons Devoe. Accepted of course. Eleven gallons did it: the 10 plus one. , Mr Moore Isp’t painting parsonages on shares this year! Yoors truly F W Devoe & Co. 19 Lucas is advancing at a rapid rate. Dr. W. J. McGee, who recently re turned from a three weeks’ stay in St. Louis, where he was engaged in or ganizing the department of anthropol ogy and ethnology, of which he has charge at the great exposition, says: “While the plans for the department are not yet mature, various features of interest are under consideration. It is anticipated that the ethnologic exhibits will include several of the most strik ing tribes known to science. Arrange ments have been practically completed for displaying family groups of pyg mies and giants—i. e., the smallest and largest representatives of mankind. In order to illustrate development in the arts it is designed also to exhibit fam ily groups of peoples still living in the stone age, others just at the beginning of metal working and others engaged in primitive pattery making, basket weaving, etc. “One of the features contemplated is a living representative of the Vlaek tribe, a race living in the neighborhood of Thessaly, the descendants of the warlike Romans who remained in Greece after the battle of Pharsalia. These people are of the pure ancient Roman type, and in spite of years of Turkish oppression they have never mixed either with Greeks or Turks. They now live in tents and are follow ed from place to place by flocks of sheep and herds of goats. Another typo which I hope to secure is the pure Greek of classic days, now found only among the Sphakiotes, In the moun tains of Crete or in rare instances on the island of Corfu or the more remote islands of the Greek archipelago. These Greeks have the head and profile of the Hermes of Praxitele^—large blue gray eyes, golden hair and are giants in stature.” In the department of fish and birds the Smithsonian is preparing a won derful exhibit. Mounted specimens of the four wild species of chickens, the Gallus hankiva, parent of all domestic breeds:.Gulins sonnevatl, Gallus Stan ley and Gallus varius, the latter some what resembling a pheasant, will also be shown. There will also be shown a complete exhibit of the different spe cies of pheasants, partridges, guinea fowls, the common Javan, white and brown winged peafowls and a full ex hibit of American birds, especially wild ducks, geese, cranes, herons, the com mon wild and ocelatod tnrkeys, Jays, robins and woodpeckers, among the latter being the giant woodpecker of Lower California and northern Mexico.
