The Southern Illinois Press As~ sociation has adopted a: rule to omit the title “Dr,” in speaking of a phy- sician, This isa retaliation upon the cind Call for [Election on Educs- : tional Tax. Last Monday the commissioners of Craven county unanimously adoptea the following motion by Mr. J. A. Bryan : : “It appearing to the satisfaction of the board, that the act for local taxation for the benefit of public schools entitled ‘An act to stimulate local taxation in the rural districts,’ not having been passed pursuant to the requirements of the laws and constitu- tion ot the State. And it appearing that an election held under this act would be null and void, and entail upon this county great costs and ex- pense. “Jt ig theretore resolved, That the order heretofore passed by this board calling the election for the purpose named, be and the same is hereby rescinded, reconsidered, and revoked: and the clerk of this board is ordered to notity the pollholders and officers of election of the provisions hereof.”— Kinston Free Press. ena Our Nation’s Wealth in Gola}Dollars. The wealthiest nation of the world is the United States. The census of 1890 shows the true valuation, or fair selling price, ofthe real and personal property of the country to be $65,037,- 091,197. {t is an iacrevse of over forty-nine per cent. on the yalvation ot the previous decade, and is about six times the value of he money of the entire worla. ‘The mind cannot grasp the meaning of such figures without giaphic illustration. This +mount in gold dollars would load 123,570 carta, each carrying a ton. It 2,000 gold dollars were piled one on the other they would torm a stack three teet hight. Make similar piles close together till a wall of gold one mile long and worth $230,400,000 istormed, increase this wall to twenty-tight and 4 quar.er miles and the amount would represent our National wealth. Placed side by side the coins would form a carpet of gold covering five square miles.—Wihiam George Jordan, in July Ladies’ Home Journal. gy aa Sun Never Sets on Uncle Sam’s Do- mains. “The Britons proudly boast that the gun never sets on the Queen’s domin- ions, ag it they were special subjects of aolar favoritism,” writes William George Jordon on “Lhe Greatest Nation on Earth,” in the July Ladies’ Homé Journal. ‘%But-itis equally true that there is always sunshine on some part of Uncle ‘Sain’s freat possessions. When it is 6 P, M. on Attoo’s Island, Alaska, it is 9.36 A. M. of the day following at Eustport, Mame. If we locate the centre of the United States, calculating it a3 midway » between longitude sixty-seven of Eastport and longitude one,hundred and ninety-three of Attoo’s Island, it will be found on the one hundred and twenty-sixth degree of longitude, about two hun- dred and eighty miles west of San Francisco, in the Pacific Ocean.” “The first purchaser cf stamps in the United States was Henry Shaw, the father ot Henry Wheeler Shaw, (better ktiown as ‘Josh Billings,’ the humorist). Mr. Shaw was in the Post- master General’s office on August 6, received sheets of the new stamps. Mr. JoEngon passed a sheet to Mr. Shaw for inspection. Arter giving the stampe avhasty glance Mr, Shaw, per- haps with an eye to future fame, took out his wallet, counted out fifteen ceuts and purchased one ol each variety. The ‘five’ he kept as a curiosity, the ‘ten’ he preeented to Governor Briggs as an appropriate gift.” — A Solar Eclipse. On the 29th of July one of those phenomena will take place that from time immemorial have never failed to engage the attention and elicit the wonder of mankind—a so'ar €éclipse. Even thuze that are quite familiar with the causes that produce it; and may even be capable of understan ding the intricate calculations necessary for its prediction, cannot suppress a feeling of awe on bebolding the most interest ing cf allthe phenomena of nature. The eclipse will be an annual one, visible on this continent as a partial one. In our latitude, it will begin at half past 8 o’clock in the morning and end twelve minutes past 11 o’clock. a -” AT The Americans are the greatest travelers on the face of the earth. It is estimated that every year from 90,000 to 100,000 people leave the country for trips in Europe, going first class. Half as many again go at cheaper rates. To remove paper labels from old bottles easily, wet the face of the label with water and hold it for an instant over any convenient flame. The steam formed penetrates the label at once and softens the paste. Vauale Property for Sa Hea.
