kitchen articles we have seen, and, as
the name implies, is economy itselt,
The Bins are in two sizes, one for flour
i
and onetor meal. ~The, material used
in their manufacture is extra heavy
imported tin,-Japan fizish, making the
Bin attractive as well as useful. It is
aveolutely proof against dampness,
Waste, mice, roaches or any kind of
insects. The flour or mel is taken out
for use through a sifver in the bottom
of the Bin, the measure of quantity de-
sired being handy and accurate. In
the front ot the Bin are small recepta-
cles for spice, pepper, or other ingre-
dients wanted in a convenient place.
Every housekeeper should have one
of these Bins, The agents will take

Part of the Petition Can Be Compiied
earners
Last week a petition signed by many
of the business men of Greenville was
sent to M.. J. R. Kenly, General
Manager ot the Atlantic Coast Line
asking that the the schedule of the
Kinston branch be shortened one hour
each way. Mr. Kenly gave the matter
careful consideration and replied very
promptly. As our readers may tully
understand the situation the Reriuc-
for publishes below Mr. KenlyTs letter
to the petitioners :
i Witmineron, N.C., Jan. 9tb, 1897.
GentLemen. Your petition of blank
te requesting that the schedules of
the passenger train: on the Kinston
Branch be clanged so as to permit the
morning trai to pass Greenville one
hour later and the evening train to
pass there ove hour earlier was duly
received. ~The matter has had my
careful consideration.
ry dMy desire always is to meet the
Wishes of our patrons as far as it is
practicable. I find that we can, without
serious Consequences to the iaterests of
the traveling public in Eastera . North
Carolina, arrange to leave Greenville
with the morning train abouv thirty
(30) minutes laier, which I have di-|
rected to be done at the next change 01
Timetable following the one now in the
hauds ot the printers. I hope tliis
* will be sasistactory to the petitioners,
With regard to the evening train: 1
am sorry that it is impracticable to
make any change in ils ume without
serious inconvenience and injury to oth.
This schedule is
controlled by the oShoo Fly� train trom
Nortolk. You sugyest that in order to
overcome this difficulty the morning
train into Norfolk be made earlier and
* the evening train leave their earlier. 1
think you would hardly make this
suggestion if you knew thac the morning
train now leaves Rocky Mount at 6:15
A. M., passes ~Tarboro at 6.45 A. M,.
and reaches Norfolk at 10:30 A. M.
The train remains in Norfolk until
2:25 P. M., giving the people only
about four (4) hours in Norfolk. To
ron the Nortolk train into that point at
an carher hour would seriously incon-
venience the R.cky Mount and Tar
boro travel which is quite large. The
train now leaves those points as early
-usit should do to properly acedmmodate
_ the traveling public.
oThe evening train over the Kinston
Branch, when the number of stops it
has to make is taken into consideration,
is quite tast. It has to run between
stops at a speed ccnsiderably over
thirty (80) miles an hour, which is as
fast as we care to run a local passenger
_ train of this kind.
: » We have a constan: pressure from
| the line. of the Norfolk & Carolina
i Norfolk to have the
m Rocky Mount reach | '
and leave there later, | O4

only train by which passengers can leave
Norfolk in the P. M. and reach their
destination in Eastern North Carolina
on the same day.
I trust this explanation will be en-
tirely. satisfactory.

A Lighthouse With No Lantern.
The most extraordinary of all
\jghthouses is to be found in the
tiebrides, Scotland, on Armish
rock, which is separated from tie
Islaud of Lewis by a channel
over 500 feet wide. On this rock
a conical beacon is erected, and
op its summit a lantern is fixed,
from which night after nighi
shines a light which is seen by
the fishermen far and wide. Yet
there is no burning lamp in the
lantern, and no attendant ever
goes near it, for the simple reason
that there 1s no Jamp to attend
to, no wick to trim and no oil to
replenish.
The way in which this peculia
lighthouse is illuminated is this:
On the Island ot Lewis, 500 feet
or so away, is a lighthouse, and
from a window in the tower a
stream of light is projected on a
mirrow in the lantern on the sum-
mit of the Armish rock. These
rays are reflected to an arrange-
ment of prisms aud by their
action are converged to a focus|®
outside the Jantern, from: which
they diverge in the necessary
direction. The cuusequehce 18

THE CITY. oF BETHLEHEM.
7 MO
tt nt Time. { .
take many people to crowd it; but,
besides being the birthplace of, Je-
sus, itis the birthplace of Israel's
great warrior-king, David.
Bethlehem today has barely 8,000
inhabitants and in appearance is
~not attractive. The streets are tod
narrow for vehicles"in fact, there
is but one street. in the town wide
enough for carriages, and it is 0
| very narrow that they cannot pass
each other in it. The streets were
| made for foot travelers, donkeys
_ and camels.
| Bethlehem is about five miles
south of Jerusalem, Leaving the
| larger city by the Yafa gate, we take
a carriage and ride rapidly over the
| fine road built but a few years ago.
The carriage we are in and those we
~meet are wretched affairs. The
horses are to be pitied, first, because
they are not well cared for, and, sec-
ond, because their drivers are regu.
lar jehus who drive them ~~furious-
ly� up hill and down. In less than
an hour we are in the market place
of Bethlehem, in front of the Church
of the Nativity.
Let us suppose we have arrived on
Christmas eve, in time to wander
about and to become acquainted
with the little city.
Of course it has changed in ap-
pearance since the time of the birth
of Christ. It is larger and better
built. Now, as then, the houses are
of stone, and, as cities and customs
change but little in the east, we
may safely infer that modern Beth-
lehem houses are much like those
of 1,900 years ago. Perhaps some
of the old buildings that were in ex-
istenco so long ago may still be
standing. Of course the great
Church of the Nativity was not then
erected, nor were any of the large
religious buildings we see. These
are the memorials of a ~later date,
built in honor of him whose earthly
life began here. One would have to
be unmindful of his surroundings
and very unimaginative not to won-
der what the place was like on that
night the anniversary of which we
are celebrating.
We know that: then, as on this
Dec. 24, it was filled with people.
But those people had come for a dif-
ferent purpose. Augustus Cesar,
the master of the then known world,
had issued an imperial decree order-
ing a general registration of all his
subjects. This wag for the purpose
of revising or completing the tax
lists. According tooRoman law, peo-
ple were to rogist@r in their own
cities"that is) the city in which
they lived orto which their village
or town was attached. According to
Jewish methods, they would register
by tribes, families and the houses
of their fathers. Joseph and Mary
were Jews and conformed to the
Jewish customg It was well known
that he and Mary were of the tribe
of Judah and family of David and
that Bethlehem was their ancestral
home. Accordingly they left the
Zebulun, and eame to DaviaTs ~own
city,T in the territory of Judah.
They came down the east bank af
the Jordan, crossed the river at
Jericho and came up among the
Judean hills and valleys till they
reached Bethlehem. It was a long
journey and a wearisome one, and
on arriving a place of rest was the
first thing sought. Evidently they
a no friends living in the place,
,if they had, their houses were
al eady filled. It was necessary that
shelter be had and immediately.
In the khan, or inn, there was no
room. So there was nothing to do
but oecupy a part of the space pro-
vided for cattle. It was not an un-
usual thing to do and is often done
today in these eastern villages. In
fact, they were aboutas comfortable
there as inany khan. At a khan one
may procure a cu) of coffee and place
to liedown on .2¢ ioor, but each
guest provides his own bed and cov-
ering. This was all Joseph and
Mary could have obtained in the
inn had there been room for them.
And here in Betlichem, in a stable,
or a cave used for stabling animals,
Jesus was born, and Mary ~~wrapped
him in swaddling clothes and laid.

Lighting a Cigar With Ice.
cman
Recently a prominent lawyer
urrived in Washington for a con-
sultation regarding some patent
causes. Drring the conversation
a match to light a cigar was
lacking, and the Washingtonian
rewarked that a piece of ice
would do just as weil. The lawyer
laughed avd was :ncredulons ard
The Wash-
ingtonian took a piese of clear ice
about an inch thick from tne
water cooler, whittled it into the
shape of a disk, and with the
palms of his hands melted its tw®
thus giving the
form of a doublc convex lens or
burning glass. With it he fo-
cused tke sunTs rays on the ends
of his cigar and lastly set it on
fire.
