He contested Miner's seat, but the committee decided against him. Tim says he'll try again. Personally Tim 1s very popular in Washington. He iginated the expression, “What's or- the constitution between friends,” which was jocularly quoted by Senator Hill the other day. rete The departure of Miss Clara Barton, president of the Red Oross Society, for Armenia. and the reporting of a resolution ex- pressing sympathy for the Ar- menians and calling upon the European powers to give the protection guaranteed them by treaty, to the Senate, brought that matter quite prominently to the front this week. Although Secretary Olpey does hot believe that the Sultan of Turkey will allow Miss Barton to enter Arme nia for the purpose of distributing -woney contributed by our people fur the destitute Armenians, after his recent order against it, he has instructed My. Terrel, our min ister to Turkey, to aid Miss Barton in eyery way that he can. It remained for Senator Wol- cott to strike the first discordant note heard in Congress in con. nection with President Cleve- land’s Monroe doctrine message, and the appointment of the Ven- zuelan Boundary Commission, which he deciared to be a men- ace rather thana guarantee of peace. That Mr. Wolcott is a brilliant orator 18 conceded by all, but that he is too shallow ever “-to become a statesman was well » known before he delivered that speech attacking Secretary Olney, President Cleveland and the Monroe doctrine. Oratory is a _ gift, while statesmanship can only be acquired by deep study and the average allowance of brains o start with. Had Senator Wol- Olation this week reported to the |jump cpon the administration fcr long experience, with more than cott confined his remarks to op- posing the Monroe doctrine res- d compan been in goo y, as mar of the strongest friends of the Monroe doctrine consider that resolution ilJ-timed and badly worded, but when he tried to its action in patriotically uphold: ing the Monroe doctrine, and upon the doctrine itself, he found himse!f alone. ——— Ee Advertising for, Farmers. While waiting at a country sta- tion I became acquainted with an intelligent, nicely dressed farmer.: During our conversation he learn ed that I was connected with tae advertising department of the press. “T believe in advartising.” he remarked, “and practice it, as also do several of my neighbors.” The possibility of a farmer ad vertising had never occurred to me, and upon expressing a curi- Osity to know in what manner farmers could advertise, he said: “T live in one of the best coun- ties in Michigan. In addition to growing all kinds of grain I raise both eattle and bogs. When I cuuclude that [au ready to. sell my stuffd insert a local in three or four local papers stating) the amount and quality and, if stock, when it will be ready to go. Then instead of being compelled to go from one dealer to another in or- der to receive a fair price, they come to me and put a price on it. The buyers know my methods, aud also know that other dealers, are after me, and as @& ConséE- querce they bid the highest price they can afford. I always get the best prices going, and my little outlay in advertising pays wie. Then another thing: It [ want ‘country from at least 3000B.C. to buy a milk cow what is the use of my riding all over the spending four of five worth of yaiuable time wheu fir, | cents inyested in an advertise— ment in the local paper will bring such a throng of eager sellers as to give my premises the appear- ance of a country fair ground?” —Printers’ Ink. COURT, | duolia S Whiskey’s Sad Work. ed News comes from Ilenderson that Captain Charley J. Voorhees died at that place on Thursday in destitute and peculiarly distressing circumstances. From being the honored, popular and trusted agent of the R.& D. road at Durham, and at Henderson, and after- wards general — traveling passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line; the courted guest of the best people wher. ever he was known; the best man at: many marriages and the acknowledged good fellow at all gatherings of good society, he died a pauper, a physical and mental wreck, With most generous impulses he numbered his friends by the. hundreds, aud many there are who will drop a tear of pity on his bier. That such a soul should have yielded to the absolute power of alcoholism is cause of much regret; but, “rest his soul in peace.” — Durham Sun. It YOU HAD A LOAD OF WOOD TO SELL / and toid every man you met that you had a dad ot wood to sell, and every man you met would in turn tell every man he met that you had a load of wood: to sell and every man you met would in turn tell every man he met that you had a load of wood to sell, it would, in course of time, become pretty well circulated that you had a load of wood to sell ; but why not cut it short-—not the wood, but the method—and place a good ad in a good newspaper and’ tell everybody at once. “Delays are dan- gerous,” and a good newspaper would start in where the last man left oft and keep on telling everybody that you had a load of wood to sell; or anything else. Try the columns of the Reriec- —As wood is largely wanting in Australian gold fiéids several steam- ships are now engaged in carrying tim- ber from the Pacific coast for use in Australian mines. The steamships car- ry from 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 feet each. The wood is California pine or fir. Q —Though Ireland has 3,(00,000 acres of bog land, large quantities of peat litter are imported from Bel-’ gium and Holland. Mills are be- ing fitted up to seperate the litter from the turf, and it is hoped that weat moss litter may soon be an article of export. —After two seasons of failure Ore- gon has an abundant crop of tomatoes. There are oceans of them, and fine ones, according to the Portland Ore- gonian. One factory alone is using four to five tons per day, which are bought for $10 per ton, and are made into catsup. —A correspondent of an English party says: “I sent you on September 20 a white turnip which I pulled ‘rom a large field near Burnmoor. About ene-half of the field is white turnips and the other half swedes; the whole | of the whites are swarming with green fly and rotting away, while the swedes are quite healthy.” —The hygienic value of soap is hard- lv realized by the general public. Re- cent experiments have shown that a solution of soap will kill typhoid or cholera microbes. A one percent. solu- tion will do so in 12 hours, while a seven or ten per cent. solution will do it in a few minutes. This is about the simplest and most reliable means of disinfecting that we have at our dis- posal. —Geological conditions have changed a great deal since the Cambrian age. The continents then were much small- er and the ocean much larger, while heing shallower. The greater part of North America was submerged in Cam- brian times. Cambrian rocks, though covered by later deposits in most places, are exposed in a few others, chiefly on mountain peaks in America, Asia and Australia. —In cultivating strawbetries under glass of various colors Prof. Zachare- wiez, of Vaucluse, France, has obtained the following results: Ordinary clear glass gave the best and earliest fruit; orange glass increased the vegetation, but injured the quality, size and earli- ness of the fruit; violet glass increased the yield, at. the expense of the quality; red, blue and green glass were hurtful to all kinds of vegetation. EQMBSHELL, AN ARTILLERY DOG. Two Littie rious Danser. Hie Saved While a gun was being loaded, Bomb- | shell would sit on the parapet and watch the operation. That finished, he would jump up and look out to sea over the range, and then scamper down from the parapet and follow us into the bomb-proof. As usual, Bombshell was on hand to see the test of the new big gun. IIe superintended the loading, and, while I was aiming the gun, he looked over the range as carefully as did the lookout; and from his air of responsi- bility one might have supposed that to him had been intrusted the duty of seeing that the range was clear. But when we started for the bomb- proof, instead of following us, as was his custom, Bombshell remained on the parapet, looking out to sea and sniffing the air. In a moment he dashed off through the bushes which covered the narrow beach between the parapet aml the sea. . Though thinking his actions peculiar, T was sure that he would not remain in front of the gun, because he had done so ones, when quite young and inex- perienced, and the burning grains of powder—which are always thrown out by the blast of a gun—had buried themselves in his skin, burning him badly. He had never forgotten this. Certain that he would take care of himself, I paid no further attention to him, but went with the others into the bomb-proof, and took my place by the clectric key, ready to fire at the com- mand of the captain. Just as the command “Fire” was about to be given, Bombshell reap- peared on the parapet and ‘began to bark furiously into the very muzzle of the gun. I called to him, but he would not come. Annoyed at the delay of the test, I tried to catch him, but could not da so. As J approached he retreated, still barking and apparently urging me to follow hire. Finally, convinced from the dog’s ac- tions that something was wrong, the | electric wire was disconnected from the gun, and I followed Bombshell. Wagging his tail with joy at having accomplished his object, he led me through the underbrush to the beach. There, concealed behind a clump of bushes, were two little children quietly digging in the sand and entirely uncon- scious of the danger in which they had been.—Lieut. John C. W.

The physiologists and scientists in general have been making some curious experiments with a view to determine the relative length and strength of “right” and “left” limbs. Fifty and nine-tenths per cent. of the men meas- ured had the right arm stronger than the left; 16 4-10 per cent. had the two arms of cqual length and strength, and 32 7-10 per cent. had the left arm stronger than the right. Of women 46 9-10 per cent. had the right arm stronger than the left; 24 5-10 per cent. had the left stronger than the right. In order to arrive at the average of length of limbs, 50 skeletons were meas- ured, 25 of each sex. Of these 23 had the right arm and left leg longer, six the left arm and right leg, while in 17 eases all the members were more or Jess equal in length.—Home Queen.

There. is/nothing which we waste mere than happiness. Even those who are thrifty-and prudent in other dirée- ‘tions are prodigal here. They stint and plan to save a halfpenny, but they are often indifferent about the loss of days of happiness. We do not éujoy our friends until they die or we lose them in some other way. The early spring and summer days pass without our realiz- ing their beauty. We rush through a holiday tripand miss half the scenery, because we are in a hurry, or cross or anxious about worthless trifies. Near- ly every old or even middle-aged man admit that, however wretched he may be now, opportunities of happiness were given to him. A French writer recorded what most of us know from experience to be true when he said that many peo- ple could be made happy with the hap piness which is lost in the world. We lose happiness because we often scorn calm, quiet pleasures, and seek only for those that excite. Or we make the mis- takeof thinking that happiness lies only in big sensational events instead of in the small, trifling incidents: of Aaily life. Or we seek for. it in the future rather than in the present, which is like a man looking for his hat.avhen it is all the time upon hig head.—Home Queen. ye s 4 ‘ Now if you ask Pat Cummings if he |, has killed a deer lately you want to be who looks back honestly on his life will | | WE HAVE AMPLE FACILITIES FOR THE WORK AND DO ALL KINDS. 0+ COMMERCIAL AND TOBACCO WAREHOUSE WORK: 0 Our Work and Prices Suit our Pat 0 oN dey THE REFLECTOR BOOK STORE _18 THE CHEAPEST PLACE IN GREENVILLE FOR— BLANK BOOKS, STATIONERY, NOVEL A full line of Ledgers, Day Books, = Memorandum and Time Books, Receipt, Diaft aod Note _ Booke,Legal Cap,Fools .
