Spongin;

! Swopton, and in order to hook
everybody in to trade, he offered to
treat every one that bought any-
: thing at his store. Money being
j pretty scarce, there was a good.deal
; of barter going on in thosii days.
; So Sam Jones called into the gro
cery auil dry i goods store of Mr.
j Brown, and asked for a darning
: needle, offering in exchange an egg.
i After receiving the needle, Jones
i saiil : .
"Come, sir, ain't you going to
treat ?" r
"What! on that trade?"
"Certainly a trade's a trade, let
it In? big or little."
"Well, what will you take ?"
"A glass of wine," said Jones.
The wine was poured out, when
the sponge said :
. 44 Would it be asking too much to
request you to put an egg into this
wine ? I am very fond of wine and
".Appalled by the man's manners,
the storekeeier took the identical
egg which he had received for the
darning needle, and handed it to
is customer, who on breaking it
into his wine glass, discovered that
contained a double yolk. -
"Look here," said' the sponge,
"don't you think you ought to give
me another darning needles."

.RALEIGH, X.
' :' !' A New Theory. :
' -V; new theory of earthquakes and
volcanoes, .which has. found favor,
with scientific, men generally,has
been given by Mailer. It is based
upon the conceded fact that Uhe
earth is gradually cooling, and as
it. cools it contracts, but not uni
formly. The -interior contracts
more rapidly than the crust, and
Mailer believes that the shrinkage
of the crust can explain all volcanic
phenomena. As the result of the
ties of level were first produced
i wr tvinofp thn f(rri(tmn
tnsiocations. a process still going
on. Heat being, as is now generally
allowed, a-form of motion, the work
expended in boaringdown the crust
is transformed into heat. The sur
face of the earth may" be well com
pared to the shriveled skin of an
apple. Earthquake and volcanic
eruptions are the . result 01 the sub
surface. The old theory that moun
tains were upheaved is not correct.
The valleys were sunk down. This
volcanic force has passed its maxi
mum, and is now growing less as
the earth parts with its internal
heat.
A woman always looks younger
in a-light cambric of simple pattern.
Something of girlhood and spring j
are suggested by them, and yet they j
are as available by the matron as j
by sweet sixteen. A charming
young wife once confessed her pen- 1
chant for these inexpensive toilets,
"for," she said, in closing, "gentle
men like them so well." They show
very good taste in liking them, as
the bct of the feminine sex have
found out already. English and
French women wear cottons in
! summer alternately with silks, and
I a most captivating effect does the
; latter know how to make, with her
j marvelously fresh cambric, rutiled
like a spring tiower, little chip hat
and broad parasol, with the nicest,
plainest of boots, and perfect gloves.
It is girlish purity and womanly
grace combined that make the
charm of such a dress. There are
stripes many and colors many, but
the simplest are always best.

A School-IJoy's Attempt to Fly.
One day last week a little boy at
tending a private school on Fourth
street, thought he would like very
much to be an angel, and accodingly
he procured two turkey's wings and
mounted to the top of the stairs in
the school. He, with the wings in
a proper position,
started on his
flight. He made a
jump, ana in a
very short time he found himself at
the bottom of the stairs, very much
scared and very little hurt.- Getting
up, he remarked to the school, "I
don't want to be a little angel any
more." The school teacher talked
to him for a few minutes, and im-
mediately set him to studying his
iessons. He still persists that he
