In the electrical world one hears and reads a great deal about The current is measured watts, the machinery is rated by watts and lamps burn by watts. To the ordinary layman all this of watts is mystifying. The to whom we owe the idea of the horsepower was a Scot- inventor, James Watt, and when the electric unit involving the idea of working capacity came to be formulated the name of Watt was chosen to indicate this unit, just as that of Volta hat given us the term volt and Faraday the farad. Watt considered that, taking the average, a London dray horse was capable of doing the work of lifting pounds through one foot of gravity. Tho introduction of this time the minute, gave the unit of power, or rate of performing work. This or its equivalent has ever since been called a horsepower. The electrical unit called the watt is capable of being represented in. terms of the horsepower, and in J- P. and Mayors that form it is perhaps more risible to those who familiar with mechanical rather than with electrical expressions FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

As a result of the institute work conducted in Pitt county by the Department of Agriculture the past summer and during morning and afternoon sessions in Greenville Monday, the interests of the section are likely to be advanced in three- important particulars. A grow- sentiment in favor of road improvement will receive sub- encouragement through the availability of a department road engineer; local problems relating to the production of our leading crops are to be definitely ascertained and investigated through the location in the of a department and th; prospects are that by the end of the year the county will hive a demonstration such has proved so popular and efficient in r sections in bringing the farmer into closer touch with tho spirit, aims, and methods of the Department of Agriculture. These things can fail to materialize only through the indifference of Pitt county farmers; which is to say that they are assured. These institutes, secured for this section by Congressman John EL Small, serve their great- est purpose when working along the particular lines suggested by local conditions; that cf Monday for instance, answering some special needs of the greatest to- producing county in the United States. Prefacing the regular program, Mr. Small re- to the wonderful benefits derived from the State depart- of agriculture or stations, and the greatest co operation between these and the national depart- The fact that so many of our people are directly interested in agriculture had led him to repeated studies of these with the inquiry as to how they might best accomplish the purpose of serving our interests; from which, coupled with facts of observation among farmers, he had concluded that the greatest benefit might result from bringing the depart- of agriculture to the people rather than by trying to bring the people to the department.

He said that the department might send men here to talk, but unless this talk resulted inaction little good would come of it. He hoped three results from this meeting, and it was with the people of Pitt county whether these results are to be realized. He wanted the county to have the services of a road engine r to b-; furnished by the department; I e wanted a tobacco man from the Department of Agriculture to come here and take up prob- connected with tobacco growing; and he wanted a de farm in the county. He hoped the people of the would take the necessary- steps to procure these valuable aids to our agricultural progress.

The czar graciously granted bis re- quest and gave the roots to the court gardener, who promised to give the plants his beet attention but unfortunately before he could plant them properly as he intended he was taken suddenly ill and died without having accomplished any- thing. . . Another gardener was appointed. In the meantime the roots lay in toe sack in which they were first placed. The new gardener, not knowing their value, threw the sack away, and It unheeded in a of the garden day after day. Some time afterward his little daughter picked up one of the roots and in a playful mood planted it, but paid no further attention to it. The czar forgotten all about it. In course of time the ruler died and Hie second gardener. The plant in after put out a few spikes for leaves, but did not thrive in the cold air of Russia. It new very slowly, and its origin was not known i any one save the wife if the former and the child planted it. Years passed, and still the strange plant, with its thick, long, straight now nearly sis tali, did not bloom, but as it grew taller it attracted notice, and the new czar sometimes looked at it and wonder if it would ever bloom.

Die- Seem to Be Governed by Their Superstitions. Malays will resort to any and conceivable pretext to avoid paying money on Friday. They be- e that if they pay their debts on this day they will overtaken by poverty and want. Tuesday and Saturday they consider generally unlucky days, and if they shave or cut their nails on either of these days thereafter they will always be in trouble and will perhaps die soon. The Malay never sleeps in the after- noon because of the fear that to waste the hours of daylight tends to shorten life. If a Malay finds his clothes to have been bitten by a rat lie is sure that it signifies bad luck, and if he can possibly afford it the clothes are given away in the name of charity. There is a species of bird called in the Malay country which lives in the fields and does not build a nest. It is be- that whoever obtains a neat will become invisible by placing it on his head. Of course the Malays believe there is such a nest hidden away somewhere. The Mains always abstain from taking food during an of tho sen or tin- moon and are exceeding- careful about their baths, so as to prevent attack of contagious disease.

In a collection antique surgical apparatus made by Dr. there is an artificial denture found in a tomb at near Thebes. which is believed to belong to the third or fourth century before the Christian era. Teeth stopped with gold have been found in tombs. In the temple of Apollo at Delphi there was, act to Era- a nephew of Aristotle and physician to king of Syria, B. C, a leaden which was used in of teeth. Obviously of lead could have been used for loose teeth. In the laws of the twelve table, made by the B. C. it was expressly forbidden to bury or burn gold with dead bod- except when used for wiring the teeth. In the construction of false teeth recourse was had by the an- to bone and horn. Some- times human teeth were employed. Benson found in some made of sycamore. In the first century of our era false teeth were very common among the Romans. Dentistry shared in the decay of the arts during the middle ages, and we read that when St. died in although he was only he had but one tooth in the upper jaw. French surgeons, notably Pare, took a lead- part in the revival of dentistry Louis dentist used only in- of gold in operating on the teeth of his august patient. From the time of Pare onward the highest dentistry was in the hand of surgeons, extraction being left barbers and quacks. DEATH. A Trick to by Animal, to Shun Enemies. The I death by certain animals for I purpose of their enemies and thus immunity is one of the greatest of the many evidences of their in- ratiocination. This is not confined to any family, order OX species of but exists in many, from tho very lowest to the highest. It is found even in the vegetable king- the well known sensitive plant being an interesting example.

Bank of England When a Bank of England note re- turns to the bank it is never re- issued, says Tit-Bits. It is canceled by having the signature of the chief cashier torn off. A day's signatures thus detached often amount to a weight of twenty pounds, so some idea may be gathered of the quantity of notes dealt with in a day's business. After the are torn off tho notes are pricked in the register and sort- ed into the dates of They are than placed in boxes in the vaults, where they are kept for five years, after which they are burned in s furnace placed in a courtyard.
