The question of money is tho j
question of the day in the ;

and those which

It is impossible
to do everything one would to
do; to have would
like to so tho matter of
choice and selection is all import-
ant.
There is a great in spend
money for things that
contribute to tho higher progress
and economizing on tho more ma-
things. The price of a new
carpet, for instance, would go far
in the season toward seeing the
really good plays, hearing some of
tho finest music, and procuring
some of the best reading matter.
All these things make for culture.
They stimulate tho imagination,
add to mental resources, and thus
make life happier. They give
a reserve fund to draw on in dull
days, and redeem from grow-
monotonous.
Now there is very little pleasure
to be gotten out of a carpet or out
of superfine upholstery. A simple
matting on tho floor
good books about, furnish a room
far more attractively than velvet
pile and solid mahogany. And
when tho things that has and
tho things must go without
are constantly a matter of choice,
the of selection must held
amendable to the higher ideas of
living.
All possible intellectual and
re- enforcements add to the
stores on which one draws for per-
happiness. And happiness
is most important. In one of Prof.
Davidson's lectures on Dante ho
speaks of tho poet's recognition of
tho importance of happiness, and
that found there was a
Hades, indeed, for who
had been unhappy during the life
on earth. Their being unhappy
was a wrong for which they
punished.
To guard against unhappiness
store up mental and spiritual re-
sources. These offer an ever-in-
creasing and one that can
be transmuted into various forms
of activity.

for that which like, and

and materials that profit nothing.

How Teeth Grow.
An eminent dentist is authority
for the It would take
too long to describe formation
of tho but it may interest
you to know that the enamel is
derived in the first from the
or scarf skin, and is,
fact, modified skin, while tho
of which the bulk of tho
tooth is composed, is derived from
the mucus layer below tho
um. Lime salts are slowly
and the tooth pulp, or nerve,
is tho last remains of what was
once a pulpy mass of tho shape of
the future tooth, and even tho
tooth pulp in tho old people some-
times gets quite obliterated by cal-
deposits. Tho thirty-two
permanent teeth are preceded by
twenty temporary or
milk teeth. These are fully erupt-
ed at about two to two and one-
half years old, and at about six
years of ago a wonderful
sets in, by which tho roots of
the temporary teeth are removed
to make room for the advancing
permanent ones. The crowns of
the former, having no support, be-
loose and fall away. Ono
would naturally suppose that tho
advancing permanent tooth was a
powerful factor in the absorption
of its temporary predecessor, but
we have many facts to prove it
has no whatever; indeed,
the interesting phenomena of the
eruption and succession of teeth
are very little understood. I may
remark in passing, that a child of
six, who has not yet lost any
teeth, has in its jaws, either
erupted or non-erupted, no less
than fifty-two teeth, more or less
formed.
The Hair.
The hair, like all things of
table growth, is improved Ty
clipping the ends once a month.
It is not at all certain, however,
that cutting the hair improves its
growth after a person has reached
the adult ago. On the contrary it
sometimes produces baldness. It
is a mistake to use any alkali,
even soap, in washing the head,
as this tends to make the hair dry.
When the hair is naturally dry, a
little may be used to ad-
vantage around the roots, but
only enough to render the hair
soft, tot enough to make it greasy.

Language of the Dog's Tall.
There can be no question that
the chief delight of wild dogs, as
with modern hounds and sporting
dogs, is in the chase and its ac-
excitement and
Ono of the most
ling moments to tho human
hunter doubtless to the ca-
and one big with that most
poignant of all delights,
of pleasurable excitement
combined with muscular activity,
is tho presence of game is
first detected. As we have seen
in watching tho behavior in
a pack of fox-hounds, this
is invariably tho when tails
wagged for the common good.
The wagging is almost an
able accompaniment of this form
of pleasure, which is of the
chiefest among tho agreeable
when in tho wild state. Ow-
to some of the
nervous which at
cannot unravel, tho as-
of pleasure and wagging
has become so inseparable that tho
movement of tho tail follows the
emotion, whatever may call it
forth.
An explanation of a similar kind
can found from tho fact that
dogs depress their tails when
threatened or scolded. When
running away the tail would
the part nearest the pursuer, and,
therefore, most likely to be seized.
It was, therefore, securely tucked
away between tho hind legs. The
act of running away is naturally
closely associated with the emotion
of fear, and, therefore, this
of putting tho tail between
the logs becomes an invariable
of retreat or

given him at this reception, and
since, at his hotel, proves that his
promotion, although to an office
that controls no patronage, has
made him still more popular.
Some idea of the length of the

Having seen a notice from Dr.
the Russian eye doctor, that his
office will be closed sometime In
and be opened again in the
spring, I beg you to allow me space to
say a few words with regard to the doc
tor's treatment of me, and the prospects
of his return, etc.
In April, 1889, I had an operation per-
formed on my eyes by a Northern spec-
which did me a great deal of good.
June, 1882, however, I had to go
North again tor the same purpose, but
was informed that nothing could be done
to me. On my return to
Dr. Harmon took charge of my
case and I feel that through his skillful
treatment my eyes are saved.
The doctor has invented an Instrument
for testing the eyes, etc., for which
he is offered a considerable amount of
money. Should he conclude to accept
this, I am doubtful of his return to
and hence, I would advise any-
one who may need the service of a
eye doctor to call on him before he
closes his office.
During the last four years I have been
under treatment, and have
tried several specialists audit is due to
Dr. Harmon to say that lie done
more good than I expected. The amount
of paid him for his services is no
comparison to the benefits received.

tense and almost continuous headaches.
He took her to New York, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Raleigh and consulted
the most famous oculists he could find,
getting advice and glasses from each
and spending over a thousand dollars in
the quest. But little relief was obtained
and w lieu she Attempted to study or to

and called him in. She has since
been under his treatment, using glasses
recommended by him. She can now

with her glasses when she goes

treatment was but against the

Dr. Harmon has proven himself, to my
satisfaction, a very thorough and efficient
practitioner in his line. He has display-

His different optical inventions, and his

signs of tho times fail it will sure-
come.
With but few exceptions, it can
be said to tho credit of the farmers
of the county that the success the
tobacco market has thus far
achieved is due to their efforts.
Tho Greenville warehouse and
prize house was built by
principally from the farmers.
Tho Eastern Warehouse was built
by Mr. Jacob Joyner who is a life
long farmer. Yet in justice to the
bank it must be said that Messrs.
Tyson Bawls hare done more
towards building the tobacco
market than any other firm here,
not only In the extension of credit
but they have contributed liberally
of their moans and we believe
these gentlemen will be the next
to build a prize house. Now if the
citizens of the town will build us

will save to tho town and county

So recently as twenty ye ago,
it was generally supposed that
extreme depths of the ocean were
destitute of animal life. Since then
it has over and over again been
practically demonstrated that
neither tho absolute darkness nor
the low temperature, nor tho
pressure in those mysterious
abysses, has been sufficient to
vent life from flourishing there as
luxuriantly as elsewhere.

as numerous and varied in tho

The explorations of the warship
Challenger, 1872-70, and of the
German frigate Gazelle, 1874-76,
