And, jrembling, sank to sudden rest; All ocean stilled Its heaving breast. Reflected darkness, weird and dread, An Inky plain tlft waters spread 80 motionless, since life was fled I Amid this elemental lull. Then nature died, and death lay dull. As though Itself were sleeping there Becalmed upon that dismal flood. Ten fated vessels idly stood. And not a timber creaked I Dim silence held each hollow hull, Save wheu some sailor, In that night. Oppressed with darkness and despair. Some seaman, gropluft for the light, Bose up and shrieked I They cried like children lost and lorn : "Ob, Lord, deliver while you may) Sweet Jesus, drive this gloom away I Forever fled, oh. lovely day?

Here is a way in which you, too, may join the ranks of those who control the magic power over the seen and unseen. It is perhaps a very humble experiment with wbich it introduce yourself into the wizards' circle. Yet it will demon strate conclusively that you have the same power (fn sense) as the greatest practicians of the black art. Procure an empty basin. ' Set it new the edge of a table. Place a coin in the centre of the bottom. Then ask one of the spectators to first stand alongside the basin and then to walk slowly backward until the coin is bid den from his eye by the rim of th bowl. Now direct the person to watch the howl intently. Make bim admit he sees nothing,) Then modestly state that you will cause the coin, which he knows is in the bottom of the basin, though invisible to him, to become visible without his moving an inch or you touching it. He says it can't be done. You call for a pitcher of clear water and pour it slowly into the basin until it is about half full. When it settles the result will be the coin will be perfectly visible to the eye of the surprised onlooker, and you will bave proved your power to make the invisible become, visible, in this case at least. The Charlotte Chronicle remarking upon recent observations of Congree man Finley, of South Carolina, and The Yorkville Enquirer, upon making the Catawba navigable, says it "expects to see the day when the Catawba will float the commerce of its adjacent ter ritory, not from the North Carolina line, but from Mt, Holly to the sea," ' ; ; ; O " -as ... q ItTcTTB TBI CIO A BOY. Cambridge Chronicle Who and what is he T Has he any characteristic difference from other boys f Ask some of the teachers in the school and they will tell you that some who were their brightest boys are growing duf and stupid, listless and indifferent, losing their moral senses, lying to cover their habit of moking, and even so dominated by it as to ask leave of absence from the room long enough to satisfy the -cravings for its indulgence. Now, whatever may ssbe brought for ward by adults in favor of the use of tobacco, there are very few fathers who would advise their young sons to begin ine naoit. it seems to have such a drawing effect mentally and physi sjtlly that the victim who begins to smoke the cigarette before he reaches years of adolescence, wishing to be manly and copy his elders, finds him' self like a boy on our own street. When a lady remonstrated, he said "I can't help it. I began when I was seven years old, and now I can't leave it off." What will be the future of suoh a boy? ''Consumption, palpita tion and enlargement of the heart, or insanity," to quote Dr. A. Clinton, of San Francisco, . physician to several boy's schools) What is the future of the boy who is a cigarette smoker 7 Will be try to get a place in a store? A lad in Chi cago applied for ten positions, being met each time with the question, "Do you smoke cigarettes? ' and was re jected in every instance.- In many offices notices are posted prohibiting smoking by employes under 18 years of age. Tbe manager of a large department store says: "We don't want cigarette smokers; the firm has no use for a boy with dried-up brains," Will he try railroad work f The Pan handle system, the Michigan City di vision, the Kansas City,' Fort Scott and Memphis, the 8outh Carolina di vision, the Union Pacific, the Rock Inland, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy bave all issued orders against the employment of cigarette smokers, because, they say, "it is harmful and renders men unfit for service requiring steady nerves." Chief Moore, of the weather department in Washington, says: "a cigarette smoker It not a fit man to be trusted with the impor tant work of this bureau." . - Perhaps he is thinking to enlist in the army, but the United States gov ernment has prohibited smoking by the cadets at West Point and Annapolis. An army surgeon says that , "nine- tenths of those who fail to pass the medical examination fail because of smoking, and some whose term of ser vice ha8 expired desiring re-enlistment are astonished to find themselves turned back in examination, with all their soldierly perfection in the man ual, simply because Uncle Sam has no use for the tobacco heart, which might fail him in some emergency. The same is true of the navy." The instances adduced have refer ence to the physical side of the ques tion. What of its effect upon the moral nature of the boy ? 1 J. J. Stone, superintendent of the John Worthy Reform School in Chi cago, says that (iO per cent, of the boys committed to that institution were cigarette smokers. Of the State reformatory in Fontiac, 111., Hon. George Torrance said, in an address in Cincinnati : "The cigarette is making more criminals of boys than the saloon. Of nearly 1,600 inmates, 85 per cent, were olgarette fiends." These are not the vagaa.es of a few ribboners, to be pooh-poohed and laughed at, but public utterances of men appointed to position of authority and experts. We are studying along these lines, collating facts, and seeking 9 help in the work of education. Frances Wil lard once said, "The Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union is organised mother love," and this is an appeal to fathers, even those who are smoking themselves, to teach the boys the deaflly, stunting influence upon their young, undeveloped lives, of "Lady Nicotine." BetteT even to do like my father, who promised a good watch to his grandson when a boy, if he would not smoke until 21 years old; and the young man won his prize. Af teyJhat age, the body being developed arigfit, the mind having been cultivated the will has perhaps become strong erough not to succumb. This paper is partly an answer to the appeals from all sides, "Can't you do something for the boys to stop the nse of cigarettes?" and is not intended as a disquisition upon the subject of tobacco. That would open too wide a door for the purpose of this little article. PIgBLISHED Concord, H. CONCERNING SPANKING. 0 Atlanta Journal. One Mrs. EffieJflink, residing in an Iowa town, has been sent to jail, ac cording to the press reports, because she spanked some children belonging to Mrs. William Klink, her sister-in-law. Her defense in court, while it did not keep her out of jail, is nevertheless in teresting: "The children needed spanking, judge," she told the court, "and their mother wouldn't spank them. Some body had to." Which shows that Mrs. Effie Klink acting not upon impulse, but upon a sound sociological principle. She found the work ready for her to do, and she did it with all her might, not shrinking her duty because of any speciouj plea that she might not be her husband's brother's children's keeper. This question of to spank or not to spank is as old as Adam or rather as old as the youth of Cain and Abel. It may be that Cain was not spanked enough, and turned out bad; it may be that he was spanked too much, and turned out bad. It Is an axiom that a spanking in time will save nine spank' ings later. Also Solomon, who would have been an excellent authority upon the bringing up of children, remarks casually that spare the rod is to spoil the child. Every language has its prov erbs to the same effect. The principle must be all right. It is its proper ap plication that is difficult to determine. We see one-half of the penitentiary space of the world filled with men who bave not been spanked eaough in their youth, while the other half is filled with men who bave been spanked too much. When a man comes to the gallows it is always an even bet as to whether be hss been spanked there, or might have been spanked in some other direction. In spanking, above all other things, judgment should rule rather than the impulse to spank. Perhaps Mrs. Effie Klink could tell when to spank Mrs. William Klink's children better than she could her own, for in the case of Mrs. William Klink's children she was able to bring the calm, judicial mind to bear a hard thing for a parent to do in the case of his or her own children. Unfortunately, no general rule for the guidanoe of mothers occurs to us. We leave that for the spanking experts of the Ladies' Home Journal. Besides, different temperaments require the ap lication of different quantities of spanks. A Drug Store la a Dry Tows Bon ansa. Statetvllle Landmark. Editor Caddell, of the Salisbury Sun, who always speaks out in nieetin', observes that a "Beaumont or Kansas oil well is not to be compared to a drug store in dry town," and judging by the business of the Charlotte druggists, Editor Caddell has it down about right. An oil well may go dry but a drug store in a dry town never, and as a revenue producer it is better than a gold mine. Although' there was objection from prohibitionists at the time, Statesville solved the problem at the beginning by refusing to license druggist to sell liquor, and even those who thought it was a move of the "Morally Stunted" to'make prohibition odious now admit the wis dom of the action. Druggists and doctors who desire to observe the law are saved from annoyance and suspi cion, and up to the present we have heard of nobody dying for want of a little "spirits."

Youth's Companion. From the United States Census Bureau has recently come the report of the first complete census of the Philip pine Islands. This census, therefore, is the first in modern times which tropical people have made of them selves. At first the Filipinos were hostile to the idea of a census, because, under Spanish rule, an enumeration of the people in any district was usually pre liminary to a new and heavier tax levy; but the Philippine commission succeed ed in impressing on the minds of the people that this census was preliminary to the apportionment of delegates to a popular elected legislature to sit in Manila. Consequently it soon hao? the hearty co-operation of the native pro vincial governors, who acted as super visors of the census for their districts, Many interesting facts were disclosed by the canvass of the islands. In the first place, it was found that the popu lation numbered seven million six hun dred thousand; that nearly seven mil lion possessed some degree of civiliza tion and professed the Christian re ligion. It was also discovered that almost the whole population live in villages, as there are nearly fourteen thousand villages with an average population of five hundred. Of the larger towns, thirty five have five thousand popula tion each; four have ten thoussnd; and Manila has two hundred and twer.tr thousand. The people own the houses, or "buts, in which they live only six per oent. of the houses are rented and the farmers own their farms. About four hundred thousand children art enrolled in the schools, ar d they are said to be eager to learn. The night schools in Manila, twenty-one in num ber, have an enrolment of more than four thousand adults, who are studying English. KGov. Afrork Will Ran for thi l ulled Nlatra Kcnate. Charlotte Observer. "What is the news politically?" asked an Observer man of one of the State s closest students of the political weather vane. "Not much of anything, but you may say that ex-Uovernor Charles is Aycock will be a candidate for Senator Simmons's place. I do not think there is any doubt that he will be a candi date. Mr. Aycock is strong with the teachers, the educators and the preach era of the State, and these forces are in the saddle in North Carolina. I have heard thatMr. John C. Drewry, a popular insurance man of Raleigh, would be in the race for B. R Lacy' 1 place, two years hence."
