In the study of dis- infectants Dr. Edson learned that carbolic acid is at all times to be found in the blood and that na- ture herself increases the amount i: disease over one thousand times. He reasoned, therefore, tbat ¢arbolic acid is nature’s rem edy, but he was copfronted with the fact that the injection of anv ally preduced an abseess ‘Lhe problem was to find the form in which the acid could be injected without producing this. effect. This he announces that he has accomplisned. The solution is a colorless liquid, smelling of car- bolic acid, and it is. injected un- der the skin. Aceording to the results rep2rted by Dr. Edson so far the solution is credited with the cure of abous 40 per cent. of cases of consumption.” Amongst all the © criticisms which haye been passed upon judges in this State, the’ present lot and those of the past, there is one who has walked uuscathed. It is the one who is hoiding the present term of Iredell Superior Court, Judge W. A. Hoke. He has been on the bench a number of years, has held court, perhaps, in every county in it, and no un- kind comment has come from Democrat, Republican or Popu- list upon the man or his official conduct. That is because he knows the law, is justin his ad- ministration of it, and preserves at all times the poise which is a necessary vart.of the true judicial temperament.—Statesville Land. mark. nants IF : YOU HAD A LOAD OF WOOD TO SELL and toid every man you met that you had a load 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 evt 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 newspaper would aes fe oe © last man left off and keep on telling everypoay taat you had a load of wood 06° sell 08 yth else.

Showers of Lava Are ‘ded tacbehde the Moun tain’s Height Year after year and century after century Vesuvius puffs away. The first recorded eruption of Vesuvius was in 79 A. D., when Pompeii and Herculaneum were overwhelmed. Between the first and sixth centuries nine eruptions are recorded, and since that epoch there have been 48 greatones / The last destructive eruption was on April 26, 1872, when about 50 sightseers were killed and more than 40,000 people fled from Naples. Of the present condition of the ominous | monster the Paris Herald says: Ve- suvius is 150 feet higher than it was nine months ago. The constant showers of porous lava have filled in. one side of the old hollow crater and have built up the new cone, which, from its bold outlines, has greatly changed the appearance of the summit and is still changing it slightly every day. Formerly the volcano, as seen from Naples, had a rounded top, but now it comes to A wedge point. A year ago visitors looked into the hollow of the old and somewhat cooled off crater. Of late they have gone inside the boundaries of the old crater to get a good look at the new cone, from the summit of which, atintervals ofa few minutes, therv is a gust of steam, laden with red hot ashes, which are sent into the air 200 feet or more. Before the steam has drifted away there is an- other rumble, a sound of watery ex- plosion, and another shower of ashes. Thus from a distance in the day- time there seems to be a constant curl of white vapor from the sum- mit, but at night each separate eruption throws up a vivid light, which then fades away in a dull glow. The natives who live on the slope of the mountain say that after the new cone has been built somewhat higher it will fall in of its own weight and close the present breath- Then the mountain will be like acorked up bottle. A new vent will have to bo mide, and in) the makin of this vent there will be a fierce cruption, an overflow cf lave and the formation of a new crater. There was, indeed, a general be- lief that the renewed and growing activity of the volcano would lead to some sort of eruption, but it was hoped that it would be nothing more serious than a flow of lava down over the old and hardened beds. The last outbreak and the flow toward Resina, in the direction of the buricd city of Herculaneum, was, there- fore, not unexpected. The large cone is simply a heap of cindors dignified by sizo. The ride to the foot of the conc consumes five hours, but it requires only ten min- utes to reach the topof the funicular ;| railway. Then thereis a walk of ten minutes up the jagged edges of the hugo crater to the bowl, and in this is tho little cone thrown up by the recent eruptions.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Vogt and Huxley. Like Huxley, bis English proto- type, Vogt was also an admirable lecturer. Vogt never allowed the opportunity of a pun to escape him, and his bonmots were at times hardly more elegant than they were appropriate, but, for ali that, he was very popular, and equally so with the few women students of his class as with the men. He spoke in French with a decided German in- tonation, frequently relieving him. self of a sigh brought about by an uncomfortably asthmatic condition. His powerful bodily frame, dispro- portionably shortened through a generous. development of tissue ‘about the equatorial region, was in marked contrast to the tall and ‘nearly upright carriage of Professor Huxley, whose slightly stooping ead and shoulders reduced some- what what might otherwise have been considered amore than average ‘| height. “Huxley never entered the class lecture room except in a dress in which he was immediately ie past to-go to the street; V ly appeared witbont'a cont w not in one of more places show ab ble signs of underlying shirt sleeves. — Popular Science Monthly.

Hew Two Prisoners Used Their Brains tc Save Their Heads. . The following is an incident of re- construction days. Captain Rube Clark and his lieutenant, Reynolds, guerrillas, were cast into prison, sentenced to be shot. Clark had powerful friends, who were confi- dent of his release, but Reynolds, from Memphis, was without hope of sucoor. The prison at Knoxville was a strong iron cage in a big room, whose window had no sign of a glass, and through the long winter Clark and Reynolds were confined there. For several months they suf-. fered the agonies of the damned. At last, as the time for Reynolds’ exe- cution approached, it was noticed that he was going crazy. Clark de- clares to this day that Reynolds did not touch a morsel of food for three weeks. He would moan and sigh and twirl his thumbs after the man- ner of a crazy person, recognize no one and laugh insanely in Clark’s face whenever he tried to console him; Clark was sure of his insanity. Army surgeons and local physicians passed upon the case, and Reynolds was finally discharged as a lunatic. Clark’s friends finally secured his release and hurried him out of Knoxville, Two entered a carriage with him—two of his old soldiers— and drove toward the mountains as bard as possible in the dead of night. Reaching a house in # dense forest, they stopped and asked him to fol- low them to a back room. Tho halls were darkened, and in the room there was only the light of a candle. On the bed in the corner Jay a man, moaning, sighing, twirling his thumbs and giving other evidences of insanity. Clark recognized Reyn- olds. ‘Poor, poor fellow,’’ he said, lean- ing over the lieutenant to stroke his forehead. A tear came in his eye as he looked at the wreck of his faith- ful officer. One of the soldiers shut the door, locked it and approached the bed. al |p hom ome, There's stboch ng: ‘in it n- | that will side. | “It's all right, Roynold:; this iy | the captain,” he seme Reynolds tere cf the blanket, sprang up with a glad cry, and threw his arms around Clark’s neck. “Great God, captain, didn’t I dc it well?’’ he said. They made all possible haste and soon reached New Orleans, where Clark felt that Reynolds would be comparatively safo, Ono night as they left the opera and had reachec a lamp in the street an officer touched Clark on the shoulder. “J want you,” he said. ‘Make no fuss about it, but come quietly.” Clark pinched Reynolds’ arm and signified that he must fly. The lieutenant needed no second warn. ing. Then Clark asked the officer what he was wanted for. “Hanging,” said the latter. “] have been on your trail for three weeks. ”’ ‘‘But maybe you have the wrong man. My name is Reuben Clark.” The officer took from his hip pock.- et a photograph of Reynolds and examined it and Clark under the lamp. Instantly ho saw his mistake and began to swoar. “That is a likeness of my friend who has just left us,’’ said Clark coolly. ‘‘His name is’’—. ‘“Reynolds!’’ shouted the officer. I’ve got the wrong man!” Well, Roynolds was nover caught. He is living in Memphis today, I be- lieve, and has grown rich. Clark is rioh, too, but that long term in the iron cage affected his mind, and he is the most absentminded man in America, —New York Pross memento iat omen net eee ee iy An Amateur Postmaster, A mewber of the government was visiting the other day at a hall in the neighborhood of Doncaster, Having a pretty wide correspond- ence and there not being any postal delivery in the village, the lady at the hall took a bundle of letters to the church on the Sunday evening and gave them to the churchward- en, thinking be would be able to get them sent to the Doncaster post- matte ) ‘He, not ¢atching what sho.had gaid abont them, came'to the con. clusion that they were something for him to distribute in the church.
