IN THE LOOKING GLASS,

:

This world is like a looking-glass,

And if you want to seeT

People frown at: you as you pass,

And use you slightingly;

If y you want quarrels, snubs and foes, _
i, Put'dn a fretful face"

i | Scowl at the world"youTll find it shows
The very same grimace.

This world is a looking-glass,

And if you wish to be

ye. | On pleasant: terms with all who pass,
Smile on them pleasantly;

Be helpful, gererovs and true,

And very soon you'll find

Each face reflecting back to you

An image bright aud: kind.

SUIT FOR HALF MILLION.

etree

Against the Government for an Old
Patent.

If the United States Claim Court
_ | would just do as Mr. W. R. Crawford
_., | wants it to do, both himself and se veral
¢y gp | other North Carolinions would be far
oWl | better off than they are atT present.

| The claim was originally $600, 000,
| but as Mr. Crawford said this morring:
no ove wanted to appear greedy. So
the Government is now asked to hand
over the small sum of $500,000, in:
which case no questions will be asked-
The rise of this litigation interesting
generally and Tspecially interesting | .
locally, was with the invention by Dr.
William R. Wood, formerly superintea-
dent of the Insane Asylum here, of a
system of lighting harbors by electric
buoys. The patent was obtained on
the 21st of November, 1876.

The system was offered to the gov-
ernment, but was refused. Then noth-
ing was done about the matter for mt
eral years; the inventors had a great in-
vention, from which no profits accrued.
But in 1888 the government sudden.
ly adopted the system. The harbor of
New York was first. lighted with the
bouys, and afterwards the other harbors
were lighted. But the inventors
nothing, though a trip to New York
would give him a, pr actical demonstra-
tion, of the usefulness ot his idea. "

T hen, of course, suit was brought.
The tide is oW. R. Wood et als vs. the
United States.T As stated above, Mr.
W. R. Crawford, Jr., is one of the als.
The case is expected to come up be-
fore the United States Court of Claims
this spriugs » Raleigh and the State w ill
watch its progress With sympathetic in-
terest."Raléigh: Press Visitor.

The fight made on the appropriation
for the Catholic charitable institutions
in Washington, in the House this week,
may not have been of itself a thing of
national importance, but itwill be heard
from, inasmuch as it brought out the
tact that many Republican members of
the House were, while claiming tobe
fighting sectarianism, in reality merely
acting as agents for the A.P. A. They
got so mixed up that they defeated the
District of Columbia appropriation bill ;
the first time such a thing� ever hap-

pened in the Honse. The vote wasT at-

térward reconsidered and the bill sent}:

back to committee,

the bids had all been openedand tabu-
lated. Of course they as well as every-

body else realize that this bond issuing
business is thoroughly bad, but so long
as Republican laws make it necessary |
to do so, itis naturally gratifying to all
members of the administration to know
that 80 many people are willing to in-
vest their money in them. It indicates

r A DOCTOR'S STORY,

EOE TES ae

Cael the Ability of a etioanteatine to

Use His Eyes.

~ A Star writer was asking the phy-
sician a great many questions and
getting answers to them, while the

physician wasnTt getting a cent of
pay for the part he was performing.

~By the way,� inquired The Star
man, ~~do you think that a somnam-
bulist can see?�* �

oDo you mean when he is awake
or when he is somnambulizing, so
to speak?� smiled the physician.

oWhile he is. ~ompambuieing, of
course.T I'm not talking about blind
men.T� a

~Well, I wonTt answer your ques-
tion directly, but I'l tell you a story
which may go as an answer, About
ten years ago I, hada roommate, a
young fellow who was a student in
the medical college, and a bright
young fellow he was too. He was
fond of shooting, and to keep up his
practice he had a fine airgun, and he
converted the hall on the third floor,
which we occupied, into a shooting
gallery.. I used to take a band my-
self every time I had a chance, and
sometimes for.an bour ata time he
would be banging away at the tar.
get he had fixed at the far end of the
hall.

~~One morning I came in from 4
pation about 3 oTclock and found

the whole upper story dark. I lit
the gas in the front room, which we
used as a sitting room, and was
about to go out and light the gas in
the hall, when the young fellow
came walking in from our sleeping
room, attired in his nightclothes,
and with his eyes wide open. I spoke
to him, thinking something was the
matter with him, but he did not an
swer, and in a minute I saw that he
was walking in bis sleep.

oThis was not altogether unusual
with him, but Ihad never caught
him in the act before and concluded
I would watch him. He came di-
rectly across the room, going around
a chair and a table that stood in his
path, and opening a drawer where
he kept the airgun he took it out,
ard then he loaded it, getting tho
small bullets we used ont of a bex
on the mantelpicca. This box he
stuck into what would havo beon
his coat pocket, if he had had a coat
on, but.as he hadnTt the box fell to
the floor, which he took no note of.

oThen he went into the dark hall,
carefully avoiding all furniture in
his way, and going as straight to
the door as if he had been awake. I
followed him cautiously into the
hall, and when he had reached the
usual point from which we did our
firing he stopped, took careful aim
and fired, Theslight snap and shock
of the gun seemed to have quite a
different effect than either my voicc
or the bright light in the room, for
on the instant he dropped the gun,
made a half step forward and fell
into my arms, just about as he
would have fallen out-of bed if he
had waked suddenly on its edge.

~*Ho was wide awake in a minute
and began laughing and asking me
what had happened. F told him, and
we at once lit the gas in the hall and
examined tho target. The target had
been repainted after we bad bad our
last practice, so that we could see
plainly where his bullet bad hit, and
I assure you be bad made almost a
centerT shot. Now,TT concluded the
Physician, ~inthe Nghtett room he
missed all the furniture in his way,
and in the dark hall he bad hit the
target. Do you think he oould see,
ot couldnTt he?TT :

The answer wasnTt quite satisfac-
tory as an answer, but it mado a
problem to wrestle with, and the
physicion: kindly consented: to let
his questioner figure it out to suit
bimself,"~ Washington Star.

Why He Ceased Whistling.

One day as Field Marshal Wran.-
gel and tho late Emperor Frederick
were walking in Berlin they met an
apprentice boy who was whistling a
lively tune, but stopped as they
came nearer and doffed his cap with
a pleasant smile.

Wrangel was highly gratified with
the civility of the lad, and said to
the crown prince:

~There, your. royal highness can
see how loyal these apprentice lads
aré How cobe od seem to be
when they come a mem bér of
the royal family !T

~~Wrangel,TT said the crown prinoe,
~withT a toach of merriment, ojust
ask the boy why he has stopped
whistling.�

~Horo, my lad,� exclaimed Wran-

sie
Beret t deb Mn, \ b soplied the

| boy,!~Toan't help langhing, and then
