Wapiti autler growth Is one of Use miracles of nature that we never cease to consider a miracle. About the end of winter that Is In mid-March the ant lers of the year before break off flush with their base an Inch or more above the nkull. Usually they are found close together, showing that they fell nearly t the same time. At first the place of each antler Is a t'road raw spot. In a few days it shows a thick rounded pad or blood forged skin. This swells rapidly, and 'n a fortnight the great bulbous fuzzy torn beginning has shot up to a height ef several inches. At exactly the right time, place and In Just the right direc tion a bump comes forth to be the foun dation of the brow tine. In a few more days the bez tine Is projected by the invisible architect. In a month the structure Is nearly a foot high and all nve!oped In a turgid mass of feverish, 'throbbing blood vessels the scaffolding , -Bd workmen of this surprising struc t'ture. Night and day the work Is push 'Ned with astounding speed, and In four months this skyscraper Is finished, a i wonderful structure Indeed, for a score jfif pature's forces have tolled, a myriad Jf Invisible workmen have done .their part, and an edifice that, according to 'ordinary rules, should have taken a lifetime Is here rushed through In a jsutDmer and all In absolute silence. August sees the building done, but It s still cluttered with scaffolding. The supplies of blood at the base are re duced aud finally discontinued. The antler Is no longer In vital touch with piv animal. It begins to die. The sen sitiveness leaves each part, the velvet tigering soon dies, cracks and peels, and the stag assists the process of Clearing off the skin by scraping bis horns on the brushwood. Septembet eecs him fully armed in his spears of , -dead bone, strong In body, glorying In la weapons and his Btrength and ready to battle with nil comers. Ernest Thompson Seton in Scribner's. HONEY AS A FOOD. .It la Nourlnbinir and Saves Work For I . the Dlgeiitlve Organ. ' , Honey, which Is described as "one of f eature's best foods," is the subject of v report by the Ontario department of i agriculture. In this It Is pointed out that it Is only within the past few cen turles that sugar has become known r and only within the last generation 'UuU refined sugars have become so low jf In price that they may lie commonly oaed In the poorest families. Former ly honey was the principal sweet, and VU was highly valued 3,000 years before tia. first sugar refinery was built. "It . irould add greatly to the health of the present generation," it is declared, "If honey could be at least partially re- Iatored to Its former place as a common article of diet." Excessive use of sugar brings In Its ' , train a long list of Ills. When sugar la taken into the stomach it cannot be v assimilated until first changed by di gestion Into grape sugar. Only too ': often the overtaxed stomach falls prop- rly to perform this dlgestiou, and then . come sour stomach and various phases f Indigestion aud dyspepsia. In the laboratory of the hive the honey has teen fully prepared by the bees for v prompt assimilation without taxing el- tber stomach or the kidneys, so that i' In eating honey the digestive machln ' cry is saved work and health is main taincd. Moreover, the same report says that "in many eases It will be a real econo my to lessen the butter bill by letting honey In part take Its place. One pound of honey will go as far as a pound of butter, and If both articles be of the same quality the honey wilt cost the lees. Honey Is strongly recommended for children, while for persons of all ages a pleasaut and wholesome drink is called 'German honey tea.' This la tnade by pouring a teacupful of hot water on from one to two teaspoonfuls ,, of honey." ' Carloaa Wedding Customs la Tarker. The dowry of a Turkish bride Is fix- both by law and custom and must lot csed a sum equal to $1.70 In Unit- id States currency. On no pretext can ' his amount be made greater or less, even though the parents be extremely ' poor or Immensely wealthy. The wed ' ding Is Invariably set for Thursday, the - festivities begluulng on the previous Monday aud lasting four days. The merrymaking Is carried on by the men and women separately, and each day is distinguished by a change In cere monies. On no account will Turks al low spoons, forks, knives or wine on the table when celebrating a wedding. Herbert Spencer. h Dr. Alfred ItusscI Wallace told Her t a bert Spencer's reason for living iu a i London boarding house with "rather a V' commonplace set of people retired In- '.Indian officers anil others:" "lie said that j ,he had purposely chosen such a home t. In on'.r to avoid the mental excitement ff . too much Interesting conversation, that he suffered greatly from insomnia f. and that he found that when his even $ ' lugs were spent In commonplace eon- . i versa t Ion, learning the news of the day J; Ojr taking part In a little music, he had r, a better chance of sleeping." y Daintily Eiprriird. , The author had been dragged faint ing from a crowd of shoppers. "Almost like my last book," ho mur mured, recovering his senses. .'.The listeners, being of delicate per ceptlon, knew then that the book had ' fallen dead from the press.

HOT-WEATHER HINTS Some Of The Things It Is Well To Re member At This Time Of Year New York Herald. How to keep cosl these days is very much of a burning question. All feel its necessity to a greater or less degree and are anxious for the answer. If we could only entirely rid ourselves of our melting flesh and walk about in our bare bones there might be some better chances of in tenial and external ventilation and some hope for cooling baked tissues which so oppressively consume us by their internal fires. With heat inside us and outside us, deferred hope of relief maketh the man sick, heartbroken anujdesperats. Handicapped with clothes, the light e6t though they be, we may well en vy primative man who had no need of them, and strive to approach his adaptability by gauzy fabriss, open work stuffs, airy waists and the thin nest and most flimsy underwear. In such ways we are getting a little sensible in adapting ourselves to na ture's needR. As to the clothes question, rt us understand the conditions to be ful tilled. Our summer coverings must not only piottut our t. dies agaiiist the caloric ami chemical ravs of ttn sud, but also fitvr transpiration, the undetweHV and overwear must accord with each other in 'his res;ect. Ex tra perspiration must be disposed o' by diwii ptiou and evapomtion. Experience has shown that loose meshed woolens next the skin at niOHt re vicuble to such ends. Next in order are rhin cotton stuffs ol similar makes. 1'ei solution, far from being an evil, i8 hii element of safety, as ex piTimeiils have proven that the both parts wi'h three times us much heal under bi c'i conditions as when tu sk m is coipunitiwly dry. To n'ive it a propel vent is a matter of alet and comfort. A gentle Iiivl with nonhumid air helps usamu.ingl y, fur which we are alwas duly ilimk ful. The color of tlie fabrics has also a great deal to do with protections. Yellow red, given and blue I'li's. range in the order of their allicieuo . whi e black is the last on the lis, the latter being a notorious absorb ent of both caloric and chemical ras Armies in the tropics, for instance, have discovered that helmets with red or ycliow linings are the best pre ventatives aeaiust sunstroke. The or dinary civilian, however, prefers and sensibly, too the common straw hat, which combines lightness, shade and sufficient ventilation for all pur poses. Canvass aud russet shoes, low cut and roomy, are also pop ular for like reasons. Light inn brellas are very serviceable, esptcialh the tasteful parasol variety which i lined with red and is so popular with the summer girl. Yes, but what shall we eat and drink? Let us understand in the Grst place that we do not need much fuel for our internal furnaces with an outside temperature of 1)0 degrees fahr., but only enough energy to keep us going at a very moderate pace. Plain and cooling viands answer both purposes. Meats ouce a day should le sufficient for ordinary needs, while fish, milk, eggs, cereals and fresh fruits should constitute the main diet. As to drinks, we are not so apt to be kept within bounds. With rapui evaporation of fluids thirst keeps apace; an.d the equilibrium must be maintained. But this can be Uui.e safely by plain water, and in plenty, which is nature's only real need. While soft drinks and malt liquoi may be taken on special occasions, alcohol in any of its forms is not on ly useless for cooiiiig purposes, but is generally positively harmful, as tipplers are the ones mobt liable to sunstrokes. Card ol Thanks. We desire to express our nneere thanks to the friends and neighbors who so thoughtfully remembered us during the illness aud after the death of our son Carl. Sincerely, Mu. ask Mns.

President Roosevelt and the other Republican leaders who agree with him, that the states have been dere lict in their duty of protecting them, selves against trusts and other cor porations, should keep their eye on Ohio. Judge Morris of the Com mon Pleas Court of that state has sentenced thirty trust magnates to jail, for he declares fines are no check against violations of the anti trust law. So far President Roose velt has not succeeded in securing one such conviction by the Adminis tration under the national anti-trust law. The "Northwestern Miller" says it i.i conceded that the Government crop reports are worthless. Then why do not the Republican congress man representing the wheat regions vote to abolish the worthless reports or arrange for their betterment, as the Democratic congressmen of the cotton states are trying to reform the cotton statistics? Judise F'arker endorses the idea of a cati l d ite from a Southern State, bur decliiies to intimate who he tav . Uh savs the South is full of men of pifMiiential caliber.

As a get-rich-qtiick scheme this Hull proposition beats the liepiibli(.",ni postoltice and hind ftatid out of sight. l'Jookt r T. Washington says that "the President likes bis job". No doubt.

The Newbern Sun in a recent edito rial has this to say of the injurious effects of freight rates and the dis crimination iiffainst North Carolina cities and towns. "Just why Virginia should have a half dozen cities that have a ''gate city" rate and North Carolina has not a single one, is something we cann )t understand. Ask an official of the transportation companies why it is and he will launch out into an explanation of the "science" of rate making, which does not explain. Take grain products from Chicago. Cincinnati or St. Louis, and the rate to Virginia cities is about 14 cents per hundred, when the stuff is hauled around through Tennesee, Asheville, and Greensboro. Order th' go 's to (Jreeiisboro and you are helu up tor about.'JS cents per hun dred, iuarly three times as much as is charged to carry it two hundred miles farther. Order sugar or molasses from New Orleans and vou c.n ship it through North Carolina to Virginia cities and reship it back to this state at a lo cal rate cheaper than you can ship it here direct. You may go to St. Louis and ship goods to New York via Ashe villp, Greensboro and Pinner's Point, where the nods will be unloaded from the cars and loaded aboard steamships and deliveied in New York for St) cent.; it will cost vou $1.2G to stop those same goods in G rensboro or other North Carolina point?. Many other comparison? can be given Do you call that a sijiinre deal tor Noith Carolina.'' Hesides this, gentlemen, your little passenger r 'te racket is a nv re matter of noth ing in impoitance. The difference in freight rates between North Car olina and Virginia cities represents a haudtome profit in business. An interview with Mi. Norman H. Johnson,Jgeneral conn.-el of the North Carolina Retail Merchant's Association, quoted in yesterday's News and Observer, is reprinted here, Mr. John' on said: 'It is generally recognized that the rates now in force are unjust and are arbitrarily imposed. The effect of. these rates render it impossible for distributing or shipping centres to be maintained, this condition is responsible )or the fact that we have in) laiire cities as the unjust rates make commercial growth an impossibility. The rates not only prevent the grow th of any commu nity but also have the effect nf mak ing the necessiti- s of life higher to every individual. 'This question is one that con cerns every community and every individual in North Carolina. The Merchant's Association does not intend to let up until these rates are adjusted. We are not ask ing either for favors or for advan tages. We aie -imply asking to be put on unequal footing with points without of the state.
