A Cnntdian Indian, states a contem porary, never loses his way in the woods, being always able to find bis road over a route once followed by him and also to penetrate forests that he has never *cen if only another In dian shows him the general course in a rough draft on a piece of bark. Indians display marked ability in communicating with one another in the woods. They telegraph by means of smoke, and it is astonishing how far off they can scent it—always a long time before they can see it or could hear a sound from its vicinity. If they expect to be followed by another party they stick a piece of wood in the ground on a portage, slanting It in the direction in which they are traveling. Those who find it will know by the de gree of inclination whether they who planted It are traveling hurriedly or not. If It be In summer, a small bough or piece of a shrub Is fastened to the stake, and by the extent to which It has become withered those who find It will know when It was placed there. If a hunter, as very often happens, has to make a detour or to remain behind his squaw in search of game, she will occasionally indicate the route she has taken by sticks placed In the ground, to which she has attached a small por tion of her skirt. lABlizzanli pCourlrj An Astrologer’s Letter. (New York Post.) An astrologer’s letter to President Van Buren forecasting 'the results of his election in 1840 is in the library of congress and perhaps gives crude idea of some of the fallacies of our grandfathers. The following are some extracts: "In this horo scope the ascendant directed 'to the semisquare of Mars would be in operation about the middle of the fourth year, October 1785, and migh ; cause sickness, • * * flux or hur; by wounds,” etc. * • • "I have opened the horoscope for Genera Harrison, which accords with the chief events of his past life and which if right he will not fill the offlee of president during the next term even If elected. And the dan ger I apprehend to yourself is not from your public opponents, hut from those on whom you repose con fidence.” Those who are supersti tious may be inclined to credit this star gazer with some measure of wisdom, for Harrison, although elected, died a month after his inaug uration. THE GERMAN CENSOR. RAPID WORK DONE. H* Was a Terror to the Dramatist a Hundred Years Ago. The way the censor worried the Ger man dramatists of a century or so ago is strikingly illustrated by a book on the censorship in Germany published by Dr. Robert Heindl at Munich. The German theater used to be terribly moral. In 17!)r» the Viennese censor laid It down that an engaged couple ought not to quit the stage separately, but that they should be accompanied by an official who should be under- stood to be about to make Immediate arrangements for their marriage. Even in 184.8 misalliances were prohibited on the Viennese stage, for, as the cen sor sagely observed, these misfortunes will occur in real life, but they should not be allowed In the theater. At Stuttgart the “Iphigenla in Tau rls” of Goethe was nearly prohibited because the Greek dress allowed the actors’ bare legs to be seen. There was a kmg dispute over this point, but at last the censor permitted the play on condition that the actors wore yel low tights. Few would have Imagined that the Viennese censor was so careful of the morals of the population a hundred years ago, but Dr. Reindl shows that not merely political allusions were cen sored, but that the strictest decorum of word and of thought was insisted upon. Judge Watts has declared the in come tax law constitutional. Then you will need | _ something for your skin. I I RED SEAL ALMOND 5 | CREAM is in season« | now.

Contractors Are Pushing the Grading Forward. The Spartanburg Journal of Tues day says: "Trains on the Carolina, Clinch field and Ohio road will be running from the coal fields of Virginia to Bostic, N. C„ by the middle or the latter part of January. The track has been complied as far South as Bostic with the exception of the building of a trestle. A big force of bridge builders Is now at work on the trestle and 'the work is being rushed as fast as possible. “Asistant Engineer A. J. Jones who arrived in the city Saturday stopped off at Bostic en route to Spartanburg from Ohio, where he spent the Christmas holidays. He brought the good news of the com pletion of the line to Bostic. He says that if everything goes well for the next few weeks trains will be ninning all the way through from the coal fields to Bostic. “The sub-contractors who are at work on the C., C. and O. road from Spartanburg to Bostic are making rapid progress in the grading of the road bed. All of the contractors have established camps between here and Bo&ic and a large force of laborers and many steam shovels are at work making dirt fly. A big gang of trestle builders are also em ployed at various places along the line. The grading will be completed this summer.” | CHEROKEE ■ ■ DRUG COMPANY I I I S. W.
