There la a venerable ipecimen of pro verbial philosophy whioh says that the man wbo oannot look yon in the fact is dishonest. No other sajiog haa reoelved greater currency. It strikes the popular mind with axiomatic force, and yet it ia oot a reliable teat of character. E-ery oonfidense man wbo sucoeeds in bis call ing has the steady gate of the immaculate person. No person who ia ekil'ed in the fine art ol deception faila to take an ob vious precaution to impress bis duper. On the otber hand, many persona of un questionable integrity are "put out of countenance" by mere ahyneas. So mor bidly was this trait developed in the case of Hswtborne, in bis earlier years at least, that he would co out of his way to avoid meeting those who desired to con verse with him. It would be impossible for such a man to cash a forged cbeok, to borrow money from a bank on bogui collateral. The great rascals can face the world without shrinking. TALE OF THE BILLBOARD.

In a recent Interview with Mrs. Lily .Unfftry, she very wisely said : "The fact that I believe in the superior farce of mind over matter does not blind fne to the truth that the foundation of every successful life in food health; that the key stone to pbyhical beauty is perfect physical health. "A sick woman cannot be a beautiful woman, nor can ahe be anything; but what we English call a poor-spirited woman. "To a great extent a woman's beauty it measured by her vitality by her health. "Work, Sunshine, Exercise. Water and Soap, Plain, Nourishing: Pood, Lots of Fresh Air, and a Happy, Contented Spirit there, as you. say, honest and true,' it my workinfr rule for youth, youthful spirit and youthful looks." One great secret of youth and beauty for the ynun ' woman or the mother ia the proper understanding- of her womanly sys tem and well-being. Every woman, young or old, should know herself and her phys ii.d make-up, A good way to arrive at this knowledge is to get a good doctor book, such for instance as "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," by R. V. Pierce, M. D., which can readily be procured by sending twenty - one cents in one - cent stamps for paper-bound volume, or thirty, one cents for cloth-bound copy, and ad dressing Dr. R. V.

Speak kindly to all with whom you convcrae; It may be a tone of your voice Will wake sweet mnsio in somebody's soul And some ono'a aad heart will rejoice ; Listening intently, somebody bears The worda your lips pronouncing ; Some heart wiil treasure your gentle tweet worda, Or bleed to hear yon denouncing. Do good to all as you journey through life; Each act of loving endeavor, Will aoothe the rough ways others are treading And live a bright thing forever. You know not how olosel; someone observes The ways that your feet are going, A small thing to yon to someone may be A blessing you are bestowing. Look brightly on all with whom you consort ; It may be the shine in your eyes Will light up the ohambers in someone's soul As bright as the aun lights the skies. Somebody will see good cheer in your smilea Or shrink from the frown on your face, Someone may enjoy a shake of your band As a child the mother's embrsce. Be cheerful and bright and always polite, Somebody beholding you may Gather an influence that will be As sweet as the Sowers in May ; The roses we strew in tbe pathwaya of life Will lose their lioh fragrance never ; They'll sweetly perfume tbe air we breathe And bloom in heaven forever. THE OLD WOODEN ROCKER. There it slands in the comer with its back to the wall, The old wooden rocker, so stately and tall; With naught to disturb it, but duster or broom, For no one now uses the back parlor room. How well I remember in days long gone by, We stood by that rocker dear sister and I; And listened to stories our grandma would tell In tbe old wooden rocker we all loved so well. If this chair would but Bpeak, ob, the tales it would tell, How poor aged grandpa in fierce battle fell; 'neath tbe Stars and the Stripes he fought bravoly and Iruo. He cherished bis freedom, the Red, White and Blue. It oould tell of bright days and of blight ones beside, Of the day when dear grandma stood forth as a bride, Thie ia why we all love it the old chair grim and tall The old wooden rocker that stands by the wall. Poor grandma ia gone and her stories arc worn, Her ohildren have followed her, yes, one by one; They've all gone to meet her in the sweot-by-and bye, And all that is left is dear sixter and I. Nevermore will we tease her while taking her nap; Never will we hide her gold specks or her cap; Nevermore will ahe slumber in tbe chair grim and tall, The old wooden rocker that staods by the wall. ifrttiYt, titina1., tinflrtina- ttta.iVtafrfria'V-Vtf THE NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANIC ARTS Oilers practical industrial education in Agriculture, Engineering, Indus trial Chemistry, and tbe Textile Art.

Till NRK11 10 KaRP ALIVE FAITH IN Ki'iitm'Ai, i.rrEit ATirnic. Analysis ia enoouraged by our civilian- lion more than the sense of beauty. It it a scientific age, and wo aro all in danger to some extent of that atrophy of the imagioatioo of which Darwin is the most famous case. Poetry is in lit erature that branch which appeals pri marily to the imagioaiion and hclj s to keep it alive, aa eiercise helps to pre serve tbe body. Aa we do not produce much poetry or other imaginative art we are tbrowo back upon the past, aod thia increasea tbe necessity of education in poetry, fcr forms of expression which are not contemporary aro seldom en tirely appreciated without training Of ten people of the best natural taste are less open to certain beautica than others less naturally appreciative, but with more mental aod aesthetic exerciBO in youth, The most sincere minda reject most em phatically any pretense of oaring for what they really do not enjoy. ThuB among the truest natures of our ac quaintance one sees nothing in early painting, another in poetry and a third io tbe higher musio, all from lack rather of training than of eye, oar or fancy. In tbe eircumstanoea of our day it is more important in a child's education that be should be prepared to like and understand Spencer ami Wordsworth, Milton, Burns and Shelley than that he should early require a realistic mode of thinking or a start in scientific informa tion. Exact knowledgo and logic in this age will take care of themselves, but it requires more oare to kerp alive that Sense sublime Of something far more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round oceao and the living air And tbe blue sky aod in the mind of man. Wbatevor truth may be, it is largi r than the little naturalistic thoughts and observations that sometimes claim the title. There is more of it io a Beeth oven symphony than in one of Heibert Spencer's essays, and more io Macbeth'a soliloquies than in fourteen weeka in natural scienoe. Coder's Weekly. GETTING A START IN LIFE. A minuter, dying, lift two children, boy and a girl, and a widow wi'h only small pittance to live upon. The boy resolved to seek work.

The boy was "at home" blacking boots; be bad been trained to do it. Hie father used to Bay that blackiog minis ters' boots was washing disciples' feet. In few minutes he returned with the boots so handsomely polished that the mer chant said: "Well, my lad, you have done those very well indeod." "Yes, sir," murmured the boy, mod estly; "mother told me always to do well whatever I did." "Come here tomorrow morning, aod I ill give you a trial." A Remedy Without a Peer.
