Mine of Wonderful Richness A special from Cripple Creek, Col., says of a recent strike in Isabella Mine : Your corres pondent saw; :cliu'iiks 'of sylva nite that were three inches thick and solid metal, and chunks f oxidized ore of the same width that he whittled with a pocket-knife. Pieces of free gold ore, if ore it can be called at all, run' over $500,000 per ton. The Mollie Gibson mine never produced any .ore that carried more -ounces in sil ver per ton than this Isabella ore does in gold. With every hour's work the streak is length ening "and widening. Joining this metanic - body there is six feet of quartz that will run from $1,000 to $2,000 per ton. . Manager Jvilburn said: "I do not like to say anything that will ovmro nponlfi nnv more - r--r x -j . . j than they are at present. lJie ore body' has doubled in size both ways since yesterday morning. : Some of the pieces of ore are 80 per cent. gold. I never saw such mineral and I do not believe that its like was ever mined in this or any oth er camp in the world. We have had no assays taken on the rock, but a ton of it could be picked out that would run any where from $50,000 to $200,000 .per ton.'.' - . Armed guards are watching the property. The strike was iriade at a depth of 820 feet be low" the "surface. There is blocked out in one level be tween the ninth and seventh levels at least $5,000,000 worth of ore. ..

" Summary punishment has been visited upon the two negro i. ri i "NT,...i- 1 Frank 'Washington, who -took the 12-year-old son of Daniel Williams into the Methodist church here on Monday, bound and gagged him and then branded him with red-hot knife blades. ' A mob of 50 men and boys caught the two offenders at Sodus Point and dragged them up and down the frozen streets by a rope. The rope was then thrown over the lowest limb of a big oak tree near the North ern Central trestle-and 50 pairs of hands swung Fewton into the - air. The rope - broke and Newton fell to the ground, sus taining bad bruises. The mob then tied both boys to the trunk of the tree. Fifty, lashes were applied,1 after which the boys were left tied to the tree, not withstanding the intense cold. They cried piteously until they attracted the attention of lour women, who came ana re leased them. The father of the Williams boy . will cause the ar rest of all the, boys who brand ed his son.

They are all benefitted by it. For advice fn cases requiring1 special directiorts, address, giving- symptoms, the Ladies Advisory Department," The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chatta nooga, Tenn.- TH0S. J. COOPER, Tupelo, Mist., tay " My sister suffered from very Irregular and painful menstruation and doctors could not relieve her. Wine of Cardul entirely cured her and also helped my mother through the Change of Life." A Much-Named Day- A Festival : That is Observed Under Many Titles. February second is a much named day. It is Candlemas Day, Purification of the Virgin Mary, Presentation of Christ in the Temple and colloquially in England, the Wives' Feast, but the name that is pcssiblyY most familiar to us- is Groundhog Day. The celebration of this day is observed in the Anglican, Roman, Greek and Lutheran Churches, its principle feature being the distribution of can dles and a procession of lighted ones. It is more than probable that it is' from this custom that the name Candlemas Day orig inated. Some authorities claim that the institution of the feast antedated the manner of cele brating it, claiming that this festival -was first observed in 1 542, during the reign of Jus- J tinian, whereas the first proces- sinn of lirrhtpd candles didn't occur until the seventh century. Another authority, while giv ing the" honor of originating the celebration of the day ' to Jus tinian, says Pope Gelassius, in the latter part of the fifth cen tury, had the first procession of lighted candles. The ceremo nies of Candlemas Day in Eng land have been very much mod ified since the time of the Ref ormation. An order of Coun cil, passed in the second year of the reign of Edward VI, abol ished the candle carrying in that, country. At Rome, "how ever, quite late in our century, the candles were blessed and distributed with much pomp and ceremony accompanied by a great procession of ecclesias tics. ' It was an old Scotch custom to hold a football match on Can dlemas Day, doubtless similar to our own Thanksgiving Day game. To return to more modern times, Caddlemas Eve now ends the- time prescribed by the Church for Christmas greens to remain up, before which time they must all be taken down. Unlike the majority of weath er prognostications taken, as is a usual custom, from these set days, Candlemas weather signs go by contraries. Fine weath er betokens a continuance of winter and cold davs, while an inclement day is a sure promise of an early spring and bright summer. O u r - well-known name, particularly among our rural and foreign population, of Ground-hog Day for the second of February, comes from an old proverb the early Germans brought to America from their Fatherland, that "the badger peeps out of his hole on Chan dlemas Day, and when he finds snow he walks abroad, but if he sees the sun shining he draws back into his hole." East of the Mississippi the badger is scarce and little known, so the farmers trans ferred the mantle to the wood chuck, or ground-hog. The dainty snowdrop is some times called the Purification Flower, or Fair Maid of Febru ;a;ry, because it blossoms about HChandlemas 'Day .

Sold by McKay Bros. & bkinner, Druggists. Yes, Good Old Harnett. The editor of The Common wealth maintains all the while true affection and high admira tion for the people of Harnett, his native county. The - Dunn union tells how Mr. J. G. Johnson, of Buck- horn township, (our birth- place) speaks of it as a model place. He says : "It is a model township in morals . In it there are only three men who use pro fane language and none who drink strong Hquors to excess." And Rev. J. A. Campbell, principal of Buie's Creek Acad emy, perhaps the most wonder ful school in North Carolina or the South, writes to the News and Observer that the good peo ple of the county are happy over the fact that the county commissioners have refused to grant liquor license to any one. Scotland Neck Common wealth, i A PAINTED LADY. She Is the Rule in . Japan The Gueschas Dancing. i Among our ladies the custom of "painting" themselves is not un common, but it is not practiced by most sensible women; in Japan it forms part of the ordinary woman's daily toilet, says the Fortnightly Review. This is the wayjn which it is done: A thick layer of white chalk is first smeared with a soft brush over the face, neck, shoulders, arms and. hands; then the pretty mouseme, dipping her first finger in red paint, gently rubs this on her cheeks, her temples, and over the tipper eyelids.. The middle finger is the "black brush," and adds senti ment to the expression by a, black ening under the eyes; and some times, when the eyebrows are not shaved, it is also used to accentuate them. A piece of burned cOrk is often used as a substitute for black paint. The fourth finger has Jio oc cupation that I know of, but the little one gives the finishing touches, brightening up the mouth with 'car mine and adding a bit of gold on the lower lip. Most well-to-do women unde rgo this process daily. The gueschas, or singers and dancers, paint them selves to a much greater extent than the generality of women, and also use much brighter colors. The guescha in Japan is a curious insti tution. Her moral qualities, as a rule, do not bear very close examin ation, but she is usually not im moral enough to be called 'fast," though too "fast" to be classed as "moral." Their music and postur ing have a great charm for the Japanese, and large sums of money are spent in keeping up these feminine musicians and their estab lishments - ' - A guescha Is a singer or danGer (posturer) of both. A dinner party or a festivity of any kind is seldom given in Japan without one or more of them attendng the entertain ment. Some sing with self-accompaniment of the shamesen, others display their wonderful powers of mimicking and posturing, In which, I must confess, grace Is never lacking- - - TEA DRINKING. It Is the Universal Beverage of All Classes in England. There is no doubt as to the tea drinking propensites of the English race. ' We flirt with coffee, but tea is our only serious love. With the exception of Russia, we drink more of it than all the rest of the conti nent put together. It is the one universal drink of all classes, and, it is to be feared, by all classes it is abused in the same fasion. .The grande dame and the charwoman both find solace in the teacup, and both turn to it rather too frequently. The volume of tea consumption has steadily increased with the fall of the price of tea, and now that it is within reach of even the poorest, it is no longer a luxury, but a neces sary of English life. Afternoon tea is the most un changeable of social functions in London. Our neighbors across the channel, with that sincere flattery which they sometimes pay to our L failings, have attempted to borrow this custom also, but have never succeeded in actually drinking the tea. French people may invite each other to "five-o'cloquer," but they have far too great a respect for their digestions to wander, as we do, from house to house, drinking at each a tepid cup of unknown strength. For, after ail, it is in the making of the tea, and not in the amount that is consumed, that the real danger lies. The Russians are even greater tea-drinkers than we are, but they would never touch the terrible black draught which is ou? insular delight. The Spectator. ARE WE WELL MANNERED? Disregard of Social Laws Founded in Character. I suppose no one of us likes to be told that we are not well mannered, writes Mrs. Lyman Abbott in Ladies' Home Journal. Yet, what one of us is free from all charge of misconduct?, I do not refer to those lapses from etiquette which are the result of ignorance of those unwrit ten rues of society which every com munity makes for itself, but to a dis regard of those social laws .which have their foundation in character. And, after all, how many of the much-sneered-at ordinances which politeness lays upon us are really founded on deep and noble princi ples? Courtesy is but the expression oMiindness. Table manners are much trans gressed, not simply eating with the knife and drinking from the saucer, not by offending the taste, but by wounding the heart by sarcastic and contemptuous remarks thought lessly uttered, and quite often by in difference and inattention. One may say that the heart should not be wounded so easily, but if the heart be hardened so that it does not feel wounds it will soon be come too hard to feel and express sympathy.
