But no; all was quiet, and as soon as he plucked up a sufficient amount of courage ho peered through the curtains. The moon's rays fell across the bringing out each article on it with a weird distinctness, just in the shadow before the glass was the stooping figure of a man. Ho was evidently searching the upper drawer, and Mr. gasped for joy as he distinguished on the top of the cabinet to the right of the glass the missing revolver. I could only reach said Mr. to himself, on him as he is bending and secure the revolver be- mm s a good plan, and tho only one. I'm getting kind of riled.

Indeed, as Mr. reached the table he thought all was over, gathering himself for a grand effort, made a flying leap, and landing with terrific force upon the burglar's shoulders, grabbed the revolver, yelling, Over he went, bump, and as he found himself prostrate on the floor, with a chair a ad something t and thick over him, he finished his exclamation with -------it Ulysses Ulysses ed Mrs. tangling herself up in the bedclothes in her efforts to rise.

The Question of Money is the Question of the Day. We Can't Have All We De- sire, the Matter of Choice and Selection Is Guard Against Unhappiness. I The question of money is tho j question of the day in the ; American homo, whore art many and various and do- I and those which are gratified must be selected from 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. We spend our money, as a rule, for that which like, and like that for which spend our money. It may go for fripperies and materials that profit nothing. Or it may be representative that which is tho true bread of Budget. 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.

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 in tho of superior Monthly.

Just as tho had reached tho bottom, and were wondering whore the body was, Pat came out of tho bushes and good-natured thanked the diggers for relieving him of a sorry job.

Senators are charged with having gone back on their pledged words, concerning tho bill, passed by the House this week, repealing that clause of the tariff law which imposes a duty cents a pound on block tin. It is said that Representative Springer and other Democrats of tho House Ways and Means committee assured by leading Republican Senators that if they would put the bill through the House it should be passed by the Senate, and when the bill was passed the Senate committee on Finance, by a party vote, refused to even re- port it to the Senate.

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.

Mr. daughter had long had a severe and painful of the eyes, which caused her in- 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 sew the pain returned. Mr. Anally encountered Dr. Harmon Win- and called him in. She has since been under his treatment, using glasses recommended by him. She can now read and with ease and can dis- with her glasses when she goes out. The entire cost of Dr. Harmon's treatment was but against the and by Mr. in consulting oculists at the North. Mr. feels very grateful to Dr. Harmon is glad to let the facts be known.

TOBACCO TOBACCO JOTTINGS AND LOCAL NOTES Tho breaks still holding up well. The Greenville and Eastern sold on the first about pounds. The of Greene and Le- who come to this market to sell tobacco nearly always carry back a load f goods purchased in Greenville. If the merchants would help to build up this market for policy sake it would be a good invest- for thousands of dollars worth of business would be done hero that would otherwise to some other place- There are men in this town who when the subscription was being taken to build the Greenville ware- house subscribed the pitiful sum of twenty-five dollars, to-day regret it saying that it is lost when in fact, they have sold more than four times that amount of goods tho direct result of the tobacco market. Wilson is boasting heavily over the fact that one of the Wilson county farmers has sold his entire crop at an of per acre. That is nothing to compare with numbers of Pitt county farm- Mr. R. E. says that he has sold acres for an acre. Messrs. Edwards have sold the entire crop at an average of over M- R. Turn- age, M. L. J. J. C. Jenkins, and numbers of ethers have sold their crop for over per acre- The tobacco of North Carolina have largely mental in tho of most of her, to-day, prosperous towns and cities. It is a further fact that tobacco do more wOrk for the least money and least honor and get tho most cursing of any other class of her citizens and yet there is an extra burden of five dollars tax for hundred thousand pounds of tobacco sold on the warehouse floor which of course has to be paid by the warehouseman. That this is wrong we believe every honest fair minded man will concede. It is unjust for the State to levy a tax on a class of her that doing so much for her improvement while a great many others doing for the advancement of her public interest go free from Our representatives in this Legislature would do well to care- fully consider and repeal this bur- law. The Southern Tobacconist which recently has been its feathers and blowing about the American Tobacco Company says in a late issue that the press of the land is the people's protector against monopoly.

A great many of these old, sticklers, some of whom are to day stumbling blocks in the way of progress, have passed and vacancy in life's drama filled by men credited to meet the necessity of the age in which they live, but unless the 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 four good prize houses we will save to tho town and county next season twenty thousand that would otherwise go to some other county and of course it is going to be spent in Green- ville. year the market sold about pounds.

Yours to serve, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA O. L. JOYNER, GREENVILLE, N. C. Animal Life as Numerous and Varied There as Anywhere. Some of the Curiosities That Inhabit the Extreme Depths The Hermit Crab's Haunts Miles Below the Surface. 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. Fish, worms, and microscopic organisms, as numerous and varied in tho deep waters as in tho shallow ones, and oven more so. Of a single order only as many as families and species have been discovered in the depths of the Pacific Ocean alone. The explorations of the warship Challenger, 1872-70, and of the German frigate Gazelle, 1874-76, introduced us to an entirely new world; and in this new world no class of aborigines is more interest- and curious than the that sub-class of crustaceans which includes tho lobsters, the and the crabs. of the sub-class found in every sea, and at all depths between high-water mark and the lowest valleys of tho Atlantic. None of these deep-sea has a much better right to the title of queer fish than the slim- legged lobster, which lives at depths ranging from to feet below the surface. The is furnished with long and slender or feelers, throe or even four times the length of its body. Its legs, which are about half as long as the and nearly as slender, bear at their ends tufts of fine Perched upon his thin, stilt- like legs, tho animal sweeps with bis a very considerable area, and thus early notice of the approach of danger. A kindred curiosity is tho hard- bodied lobster, a whose feelers unusually short, but whoso first pair of legs-those which bear the great claws-are monstrously long. This no doubt, lives at tho bottom of some narrow rocky cleft, or buries himself in the mud where his mies cannot reach him, and, brandishing his long waits until his luckless prey comes with- in his grasp.
