An exchange gives the following table of Biblical terms translated into present day meaning. It is convenient to paste in Bible for refer-j ence. It also may. be used at times, to arrest the attention of boys whose alert minds will be glad, for instance, to figure out just how tall Goliath w?^, and to approximate what measu rement in the class room the giant would roach v/ere he present This is the table: A day's journey was about twenty-three and one-lifth miles. A Sabbath day's journey was about an English mile. A cubit was nearly twenty-two 1 inches. A span was nine inches. A hand's breadth is equal to three and five-eighths inches And yet, though this was the day by day man, the year by year man was a very different person, a devoted civil servant, an eloquent orator, an excellent writer, a capable musician and a ripe scholar who accumulated 3,000 volumes?a large private library in those days?and had the public spirit to leave them all to his university. You can forgive old Pepys a good deal of his philandering when you remember he was the only official of the navy office who stuck to his post during the worst day9 of the plague. He may have been?indeed, he assuredly was?a coward, but the coward who has sense of duty enough to overcome his cowardice is the most truly brave of mankind. But one amazing thing which will never be explained about Pepys is what on earth induced him to go to the incredible labor of writing down in shorthand cipher hot only all the trivialities of his life, but even his own very gross delinquencies, which any other -man would have been only too glad to forget. ?Conan Doyle in "Through the Magic Door."

VAN DRY G< liuiuiuuiiuuiiuiuiuuiiuiuaii I / THE GRIM REAPER, DEATH, i Cuts Short Two Young Lives Full oi Promise. | As wo ?0 to press the sad news comes to us th it the hand of death has fallen hea\ily upon two well known families of our county and taken therefrom a young man and a young woman, cutting short the j promise of long lives of usefulness whose vista lay spread invitingly be-, fore them, full c<f hope and fairest, prospects. Mr Carl Snipes, who with his brother, Mr Edwin Snipes, was tak- j en from their home near town to i the Florence infirmary several weeks j ago to be treated for typhoid fever, | succumbed to h s malady and passed away at the i nfirmary yesterday ! afternoon.

Death, the sacdest of all human j afflictions in any form, seems most terrible when the victim is a fair young girl, jusi; entering upon the threshold of womanhood, as was the case of Miss Pearl Graham, a ' daughter of Mr J J M Graham of Cades. Miss Graham was a student at Columbia Female College and having accomplishel a hard year's work, at the season of commencement, when her fellow-students were all bright and happy, their hearts filled with glad anticipations for the vacation period, she was stricken with typhoid fever and had to be taken to her home. Arriving there,in spite of the best attention of skilled physicians and the loving care of her devoted parents, she grew jrradually worse and at 8 o'clock yet terday morning her spirit passed into life everlasting. We sympathize deeply ? more deeply than we can express? with the bereaved parents and friends whose loved ones have been thus ruthlessly taken away at the most interesting period of their lives, by the grim reaper. May the hearts of those bereaved be softened by their severe affliction; may they bear in mind at all times that, "Whom the Lord loveth,1 He chasteneth." Approaching Marriage. We acknowledge with sincere appreciation the following invitation: Mr J Elbert Davis invites you to be present at the marriage of his daughter, Frances Almira, to Mr Samuel Oliver 0'Bryan, Wednesday evening, June 28, R-an o'clock, at the Methodist church, A nnger s Dreauin is equai 10 ont; inch. A sheckel of silver is about 50 cents. A sheckel of gold was $8. (The ratio of a sheckel of silver to a sheckel of gold was apparently sixteen to one). A talent of silver was $538.30. A talent of gold was $13,809. A piece of silver, or a penny, was thirteen cents. A farthing was three cents. A mite was less than a quarter of a cent. A gerah was one cent. An ephali, or bath, contained seven gallons and five pints. A hin was one gallon and two pintr. A firkin was was about eight and seven-eighls gallons. An omer was six pints. A cab was three pints. PEPYS, THE DIARIST. A FUally Abl* Man In 8pit? of His Mania For Gosoip. The wonderful thing about Mr. Pepys is that a man should succeed in making himself seem so insignificant when really he must have been a man of considerable character and attainments. Who would guess it who reads nil these trivial comments, these catalogues of what he had for dinner, these inane domestic confidences, all the more interesting from their inanity? The effect left upon the mind is of some grotesque character in a play, fussy, self conscious, blustering with women, timid with men, dress provd, purse proud, trimming in politics, and in religion a garrulous gossip immersed always in trifles. | That f To the Moui | Seash c Vou will need a nice I have them in stock, all i from a nice 28 inch Canv; ' $2.50 to a nice 36 inch i Roller Tray Beaman Tru our splendid line of Trunl you.
