Training Ily Rewards. Efforts are sometimes made to edu cate (or, more properly speaking, train) the lower animal for the amusement of man. Sometimes trick ery is emploj-ecl in giving signals to the educated horse or dog, that it may appear to reason and under stand, but much of the education is real as far as it goes. Thirty years ago a conjurer had a troop of edu cated canary birds who did some surprising things, acting in little plays as though they understood what they were about. All of these birds were really trained with almost infinite patience to go through cer tain motions, their reward being one or two seeds. They were given barley enough food to sustain life, were always hungry and were grad ually impressed with the fact that they could get food only by doing their allotted tasks. But they had very short memories and could not be relied upon for a performance at night unless thev had been jriven one or two rehearsals during the j day. Their trainer was kept very j busy, for he was obliged to have : understudies and trained two or three times as many birds as appear ed at any one performance. But by patience and perseverance he man aged to teach the birds the one les son essential to the success of the ex periment, that the only means of ob taining food was by a faithful per formance of certain acts. Man is capable of higher educa tion than that, but his practical training follows the same general line. By the sweat of your brow shall ye eat bread, is the decree still in force. Man, being one of the higher animals, does not require to be paid after each task with a morsel of food like the canary birds, but he undergoes training with the best results when like the canary bird, he is made to understand that the satis faction of his cravings depends upon his own exertions, his own perform ance of duty. It is for this reason, no doubt, that fortunate sons so often fail to take advantage of their op portunities and that the world of distinguished workers is constantly being recruited from the ranks of the poor and lowly. The canary with a cage well supplied with seeds and water remains wild; his brother who is fed with a seed at a time be comes alert and anxious to please his food-giving master. The train ing of canaries by exciting their hunger is cruel sport, and it is a cruel fate which condemns the great men of the world to suffer that they may learn, but it is a fact that the surest way of inspiring men as well as the lower animals with the desire to do an appointed task well is to offer them a reward for their conduct. As men are able to reason and in a measure to peer into the future, their promised reward need not be immediate, but they must have some incentive to labor. The young boy cannot be made to see the ultimate advantage that will come to him if he shall master a disa greeable study, and it is, therefore, necessary to treat him somewhat as the trainer treats his canaries to reward him as he learns his lessons but this is a vicious system as ap plied to animals, high or low, and should be abandoned just as soon as increased intelligence; on the part of the pupil enables him to see what training and cducatiou will do for him when he goes out into the world to battle for himself. The reward i will still be before him, but not the petty reward for each lesson learned ; or each task performed. After a time he may hunger after learning ; itself and be able to supply his own wants in this respect. Until he has j reached that stage he must needs be treated in some measure as the ! trained canary is treated if he is to : be thoroughly trained in the habit of ' working for that which he gets. j j It is very hard to stand idly by and i see our dear fines sutler while awaiting ! the arrival of the doctor. An Albanv (N. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store j there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick wit li croup. Not litiding the doctor in, he left word for j him to come at once on his return. He ; also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's j Cough Remedy, which he hoped would I give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, ! saying the doctor need not come, as the j chihl was much better. Thedruggist, Mr. ! Otto Scholz. says the family lias since ; recommended Chamberlain's Couch Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the countrv. For sale by M. K.

I remember yes, I remember the cold Friday and Saturday of '39, when I was a little male boy I mean a mail boy and had to ride the mail from Lawrenceville to Roswell, twenty-four miles and back in a day. Friday was my day, rain or shine, cold or hot, and my mother cried when father helped me on the high dromedary horse that morning; but I was bundled up good, and had warm woolen socks over my shose and a pair of home-knit mittens on my hands and a woolen comforter crossed around my neck and ears. I thought I could stand it, for I was young and tough, and full of blood, and had been raised to work in the cold and to choD wood and to mill, and my father always said that boys who were raised easy would be no account and die hard. I made the trip to Roswell in good time, but it was growing colder and colder, and the drizzling rain hod turned into sleet. For about an hour I sat by the postmaster's fire and got thawed. He urged me to stay all night, and said I would freeze to death on the road; but I knew my mother would imagine I was somewhere dead on the way and be distressed, and sol the postmaster helped me on the old dromedarj' and I gave him the reins for home and held on to the horn of the saddle. He was a fine traveler, and paced up hill and down hill all the same. By the time I got to Gregory's bridge, on the Chattahoochee, I was pretty well clad in ice, and the horse's main was a solid sheet and his ears were full. I stopped in the shelter of the covered bridge a few minutes and found I was Erettinir colder, for the sleet had blown under me on the saddle and got into my socks. A feeling of alarm came over me, for my fingers were numb and my feet too. Desperately I clucked to the good horse, and away he went, for there were yet sixteen miles to make, and the blizzard was on in earnest and it looked like the dark ness of night had almost come. Mile after mile was left behind, and I felt that we could make it; but all of a sudden, when I got to Fairview church, I realized that I had about lost feeling, for I couldent unclutch my hand from the horn of the saddle and I dident know whether my feet were in the stirrups or not. I was only two miles from home and my good horse paced on. They were looking for me my father and mother and as the horse rounded up to the back door I almost fell into their arms, and my hand was wrenched from its frozen grip on the saddle. I remember that, for it was the cold Friday, and the next day was colder. I was rubbed with turpen tine and oil and tenderh' nursed, and in a few days was ready for another trip. We had no thermometers then, and there is no record how cold it was, but I remember that birds were frozen in the woods and chickens on the roost. I don't know whether these thermometers are any advantage or not. The other morning I got up soon and made a fire in two rooms and then went out to the coalhouse to get more coal for upstairs. I noticed that the back hall floor and the steps and platform cracked strangely as I walked on them, and I felt that it was cold very cold but I never looked at the thermometer for half an hour, and it was 7 degrees below zero. I got colder immedi ately, foi I had never seen the mercury that low before. My opin ion is that 10 degrees above zero is about as cold as 10 degrees below if you have no thermometer. I can't realize the difference, and that is the reason why our northern brethren make so little fuss about weather 30 and 40 degrees below the mark. It is like the engineer who was called in by a railroad committee to give his opinion about speed. They asked him if it was more dangerous to run fifty miles an hour than forty. He said no. "Can you run sixty as safe as forty ?" "Yes," said he. "How about seventy or eighty ?" "Just as safe as forty," he said, "for if you jump the track at forty j'ou will go to the devil, and that is as far as you can go at 100 miles an hour." Just so I don't care much where the mercury goes to after it gets be low 20. I was talking to an old friend from Maine about the weather, and he said he had suffered about as much down here as up there, but dident suffer long at a time only a day or two; but up there it was several long weary months. "Where I was raised," he said, "the mercurj' was far below zero for a month at a time, and I remember one long weary night when it dropped to 30 and then 33 and 40. ' There was an old fashioned box stove in the big room. It was made of thick malleable iron and on bitter nights we crowded in wood and pine until it was red hot all round. On this particular night we boys had to turn round and round to keep from freezing on one side while we were scovebingon the other. About midnight the mercury drop ped to 45, and the house cracked and popped like little guns. Father got alarmed, and, being an old-fashioned Christian man, said, 'Come, children, let us all kneel down and pray.' After prayer we piled more pine into the heater. Father said to mother: "When Elisha Kent Kane was in the arctics he said that he found that fatty mat ter was better than fire and he made his crew stuff themselves with whale blubber and seal oil and grease and it saved their lives. And so, mother, you had better bring us all the grease in the pantry." Mother turned us all loose on her lard and butter and fat meat and we crammed it down and it did do us good. But the mer cury kept on dropping. Father had an old donkey that brayed incessant ly all the forepart of the night, but about 3 o'clock he ceased and father said: "My children, the poor old donkey is dead." About 4 o'clock there was a fire in the little village, but nobody went to it. The family fled to the nearest house for refuge. Just before daybreak the mercury began to rise a little and father said : "Come, children, let us kneel down and give thanks to God for His mercy. " "Well, it was glorious to see the big, round, red sun rise and shine in the windows next morning. About this time we heard a racket in the barn which was near by and father said : "Boys, go out andsee if that donkey is alive." And sure enough he was and there he stood facing the door with an icicle sticking "out of his mouth three feet long and as big at the base as a coffee pot. His brays had frozen and frozen to a sharp point and had stopped up his mouth so effectually he couldent bray any more. That's what my friend told me, but N. B. he was a newspaper man. Well, I'm not go ing to write a poem on the beautiful snow, for I don't like it, especially when I am the boy the only boy about the house, and have to keep trotting to town or the woodpile or coalhouse, or somewhere. But the children like it, and there's some comfort in that, and the other day while I was tramping slowly to town on the slippery walk I met a pretty ladj', a middle-aged matron, and just before she got to me her foot slipped backward and the other extremity had to bend forward and she made me the prettiest little courtesy I ever had made to me. She never lost her perpendicular, but just come down gracefully On one knee like I have seen girls in the parlor dance. Of course, I tipped my hat and said, "Thank 3rou, madam." She colored up and smiled and spoilt it all by saying, "I dident mean to." I havent told my wife about it yet, for our golden wedding is near at hand and it is no time for these irregulari ties. It was the beautiful, the slick ery, trickery snow that did it. I had to shovel it out of the pathway from my house to the street 150 yards so that my women folks could walk without wetting their shoes and stockings, but every one of them, even to my wife, prepared to wade in the beautiful snow and the girls found a ditch where it was knee deep and waded in that. That's the way they impose on a poor old boy like me. But there is not so much differ ence between heat and cold after all. Both destroy sensation and vitality and wither and blast vegetation. They are very close akin. Not long ago a man told me he witnessed the experiments made in New York with liquified air. He saw the discoverer place a tumbler half full of it in the center of a large pan of water and in less than a minute the water was all frozen into solid ice. Then he took an iron rod three feet long and as large round as a cedar pencil and put one end in the tumbler and while it rested there he touched a lighted match to the other end, and it took fire and burned furiously until the whole rod was consumed. He de clared that a teaspoonful of this liquified air placed in a refrigerator would freeze everything in it and keep it frozen for three or four days, and that ice would soon be made at 10 cents for a thousand pounds, and all the ice factories be closed forever, and he said that this liquified air had five times the destructive power of dynamite. The operator made lem onade and cocktails for the party and froze them by dropping a very small drop in each glass. How is that? But N. B. The gentleman who solemnl3r told me this is a newspaper man, too. Bill Arp. The trouble with the man who knows nothing is that he is the last to find it out. We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send' away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Reniedv never fails to cure. It is certainly a meuicine oi great merit ana worth. D. S. Mkakkle, General Merchant and Farmer, Mattie, lied ford county, Pa. For sale bv M. E. Robinson & Hro., J. II.

The five-story building of the Min neapolis (Minn.) Tribune was burned Friday night. Loss, $153,000. An enormous snow-slide near Op- per, Col., destroyed several dwellings and buried alive fifteen persons. Stepping in front of a train at Selinsgrove, Pa., on Sunday, Alex. Shaffer was ground to pieces. Crazed by grip, Frank A. Liddell, a locomotive engineer, killed his wife with a cleaver at Perry, Iowa, Tues day. In a quarrel over a game of cards near Elkhorn, W. Va., Tuesday night, Theodore Williams shot dead Ben Smith and escaped. Four persons were killed and two injured in a fire and explosion which destroyed the Dick building at Hart ford City, Ind., Thursday. The War Department has issued an order mustering out 10,000 volun teers, including all who are now in service in the United States. In a dispute over money, Edward and Jack O'Neill stabbed to death their brother Thomas with butcher knives at St. Joseph, Mo., Tuesday. Two Pennsylvania trains collided under the Forty-fourth street bridge, in Philadelphia, Friday night. One person was killed and thirteen in jured. Finding his wife in a compromising position with a neighbor Saturday night, John Forte, a prominent far mer near Davisboro, Ga., shot and killed her. The body of Edward Ellingwood was found at his home in Bradford, Me., Monday morning, with a bullet hole in his head, and the house nearly consumed by fire. The family of David Flook, con sisting of five persons, were suffo cated 03' gas from a coal stove in the Middletown Valley, Maryland, while asleep Sunday night. While sitting at the wedding feast of her half-sister at Moweaqua, 111., Wednesday night, Miss Grace Sanner committed suicide by taking str'eh nine. Jealousy was the cause. A fire which originated in a negro shanty at Muscogee, I. T., Thursday night, destro3Ted nearly one half of the town, entailing a loss aggregat ing nearly half a million dollars. The Senate of North Dakota Sat urday passed a bill providing for a commission of three phrsicians in each county for the examination of all applicants for marriage licenses. The Fifty-fifth Congress will ex pire by limitation next Saturday. Many important measures must be passed this week to prevent an extra session of the Fiftv-sixth Congress. At Piedmont, W. Ya., Monday, Llo3'd Dawson, an aged citizen, was crushed to death while hauling coal. His wagon upset upon him aud a wheel mangled his head in a fearful manner. Fire destro3-ed a Chicago boarding house on Michigan avenue, Monday night, causing a $25,000 loss. The female boarders became panic-strick en and several were fatall3r injured by jumping from the windows. While attempting to cross, Mrs. Jessie B. Iloldman, the wife of a clerk in the Postoffiee Department at Washington, D. C, was struck by a car of the Metropolitan Street Railway Compan3r, Thursday, and received injuries which resulted in her death. Foreign Affairs. Hurricanes and landslides have caused heavy loss' of life in New Guinea. The United States is feeding five per cent, of the population of Cuba on free rations. A dispatch received in Madrid states that foreign warships are landing troops at Manila. Leading natives of the Island of Negros, in the Philippines, have hoisted the American flag there. General Otis has sent troops to occupy the Island of Cebu, where the American flag has been raised. During the fighting at Manila, on Wednesday and Thursday, six Amer icans were 'killed and twenty-nine wounded. The funeral of President Faure in Paris, Thursday, was an imposing demonstration. There was no hostile demonstration of note. Incendiar3r fires in Manila and its suburbs, Wednesday night, destroy ed a thousand dwellings of natives and hundreds of business houses. Filipinos are accused of starting the fires. Word has been received at Bombay that the Sultan of Oman not only repudiated his treaty with France in response to British threats, but handed over the treaty to the British admiral. Admiral Dewey has cabled to the Navy Department urging that the battleship Oregon be sent to Manila for "political reasons." Secretary of the Navy Long says the Admiral's request has no international significance. National Capital Matters. Washington, Feb. 2Sth, 189'J. The democrats in Congress stand behind the plain words of Senator Cockrell against the bill for a large standing army, which Mr. McKinley is trying to jam through the Senate, and they believe that the rank and file of the party stand behind them. Mr. Cockrell said: "We will give 3-0U ever3' man and every officer that is necessar3-, but we are not willing at this short session to fasten upon the country a standing army of 100, 000 men and to increase the expenses of the people by millious of dollars. We are offering everything that is fair and just and right. We have no disposition or intention to force an extra session of Congress, and we say to you that every bill that legiti mately and of right ought to be a law can be passed at this session. If an extra session is called, it will be solely for the purpose of fasten ing upon the people a standing army of 100,000 men." That is a fair and straight-forward statement of the at titude of the democratic Senators, who are being accused of holding up the government. They are not hold ing up the government, except in the sense of helping it to be true to the people. The war taxes are likeW to have to be paid until a democratic Congress and administration is elect ed, and there will either have to be more taxes or more bonds, unless the extravagant policy of the admin istration can be headed off or cur tailed. Col. William J. Bryan is in Wash ington, and the reception given him by the five hundred democrats, most ly men of prominence, who attended the banquet of the Virginia Demo cratic Association, at which he was the guest of honor, makes it certain that those who suppose that he is 1 losing his hold upon the party are mistaken, just as the ringing speech, ! bristling with Jeffersonian democ racy, he made. at the banquet made it certain that he has lost none of the oratorical power that enabled him to hold the Chicago convention spell-bound and to thrill the hearts of six and a half million voters. Whether Col. Bryan will ever be President, only the future can show; but that he is one of the most won derful men of our time and that he possesses a wonderful hold upon' the hearts of his fellov-countr3'men is as plain as that night follows dav. Senator Proctor has been credited with getting more than his share of army appointments and promotions under the present administration. Therefore it was a little surprising when he made a speech jumping all over the method 03' which arm3T pro motions and appointments are made on "pull," instead of merit. He knows the subject, for, in addition to getting commissions on "pull," he issued them on it when he was Secretary of War. Army officers will know how to appreciate his statement that little consideration is given to applications for promo tion on merit, because the demand of some Senator or Representative for the place must be complied with. There is no doubt about the evil of the present system, not only because it puts uufit men into responsible military positions, but because it has a general demoralizing effect upon Congress. It is well known that Secretary Alger muzzled a number of Senators and Representatives with army patronage. The Alger Cuban junket, planned to start as soon as Congress adjourns, upon which a number of Senators and Representatives will be carried as guests, will go upon a government vessel and the bills will be paid with public mone3'. It is estimated that the cost of the trip will not be less than '00,000, but the amount may be lessened if the trip has to be shortened to enable the Senators and Representatives to attend an extra session of Congress, as now seems likel3r. It is said that Mr. McKinley has been advised to break up the Alger junket. Every member of the committee named by Senator Jones to advise with the Democratic National Com mittee during the preparation for next year's campaign, is not only a staunch advocate of the renomina tion of Col. Br3-an, but also of the re- adoption of the Chicago platform Senator Jones will be chairman of the advisory committee and his asso ciates will be the following gentle men : Senator White, of California; D. J. Campau, of Michigan; Norman Mack, of New York, the widely know Buffalo editor; Ex-Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, and Ex-Congress man George Fred Williams, of Mass achusctts. The headquarters of the advisory committee will be in Wash ington. Admiral Schley having in his state ment of his record during the war with Spain made it plain that the jumping of Sampson over his head was the result of dirty work, in which Sampson was the ring-leader, there is a strong sentiment in Congress to compel the administration to do jus tice to Schley. One result of that sentiment is the introduction of a bill providing that Dewey shall be made a full Admiral and Schley a Vice Admiral. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Summary of Current Events for the Past Seven Days. It is now probable that the Legis lature will adjourn next Monda3'. The Charlotte dispensar3' bill was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 31 to 12. Mrs. Jane Harper, aged 72, an in mate of the Buncombe county alms house, fell against a stove Saturday and was so badly burned that she died Tuesday. Lewis Huffman, of Catawba county, was killed by a freight train near Newton, Tuesday afternoon. It is not known whether be was walking on the track or lying down. A house occupied 6y Jas. F. Mor gan and famil3', in Concord, was burned early Monday morning with its contents and Jennie, a ten-year-old daughter, perished in the flames. The First North Carolina regi ment's enlisted men have sent to Senator Pritchard a "round robbin," signed, it is asserted, by 95 per cent, of them, asking to be mustered out of service. James S. Carter, aged 52," superin tendent of the Littman Cordage Mill at Salisbur killed himself in Char lotte, Saturday, by taking an over dose of laudanum. He was a native of Randolph countv. A deaf-mute white man named Rufus Pool, of Wake county, was killed by a Seaboard Air Line train near Ridge way, while walking cn the track, Wedne-sday morning. On bis person was found $400. The body of a female white infant was found Saturday evening at Greensboro in a ditch with its throat cut. The coroner's inquest developed that it had breathed. There is no clue to its heartless mother. The Record says that Col. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, has consented to deliver the annual address to the first graduating class of the Colored Agricultural and Mechanical College, of Greensboro, the last of Mav. Cora Hicks, a 13-year-old colored girl of Durham, has been sent to jail for throwing a little colored child she was nursing into the fire. The child was badly burned before it could be suatched from the flames. C. B. McBryde, a prominent citi zen of Robeson county', was assaulted Wednesday night by two negroes, who dealt him several severe blows with a rail, from the effects of which he died the next morning. The negroes are at large. The Asheville Register learns of a serious cutting affray at a church at Black Mountain recently. Two young men, Hamby and Burnett, were the principals, and Hamby was severely cut in the shoulders and abdomen and may die. No arrest has been made. When Mrs. Julia Mullis, of Char lotte, started from her home Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock to the Ada Cotton Mill to see her children, who wort mere, a negro man sprang from cover and criminally assaulted her. Julius Alexander has been ar rested and identified by the woman as her assailant. Mr. and Mrs. S. A Lassiter, of Spencer, were in Salisbury Monday evening, visiting Mrs. Lassiter's wounded brother, II. II. Ham, and in returning missed the local train and undertook to walk home. As the couple neared Spencer, a number of negroes were noticed beside the track singing and cursing. Mr Lassiter ordered them to stop and was met b3' a blow in the face with a rock b3' one of the men, when Mrs Lassiter stepped between the negro and her husband, and she in turn was struck by another negro, which fractured the skull and will likely, if it has not done so, prove fatal. Fnzen .Mullets. During the recent cold weather Bogue Sound, at Swansboro, Car teret countv, was frozen over so that persons could walk upon the ice, the first time this has happened in 30 years. In walking upon the ice, innumerable little points were seen sticking above the surface of the ice. which being examined proved to be the heads of mullets, which were frozen solidly in the ice. It is sup posed that the mullets sought air as the water congealed and so became fixed in the ice before thev could draw back. Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fio Svbcp Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fio Srr.cp Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties.
