TL.oreiore, you must obey your r-.;rnts-in-law as you once obey. pj-o ;r fa.her and mother. When ycu are ;married, your husband will be your sole master, j i:. humble and polite.

Even though your husband be wrong, do not get angry; be pitient, and when he has calmed down, then speak to him gently. "o. Do not talk too much; sp-ak no evil of your neighbors; Lt vor tell lies.

Always be neatly but modestly dressed. "12, Do not pride yourself on your father's rank or. fortune. If he is a rich man, never allude to his riches before your hus band's relations." Thesa rules are similar to those which were in vogue in Japan hundreds of years ago, as is indicated in the interesting took ou Japanese women by Mr. S. To'-aishi, in the "Wisdom of the Eist" series. The Engineer Cried. "Yes, indeed, we have some queer little incidents happen to us. "said the engineer. ' A queer thing happned to me about a year ago. You'd think it queer for a rough man like me to cry for ten minutes, and nobody hurt either, wouldn't you? Well I did, and I almost cry every time I tnink of it. ' 'I was running along one after noon pretty lively, when I apDroached a little village where the track cuts through the street. I slacked up a little, but was still making good speed, when sud denly about twenty rods ahead of me a little girl not more than three years old toddled onto the track. You can't even imagine nay feelings. There was no way to save her. It was impossible to stop, or even slack much at that distance aw the train was heavy and the grade was de scending. In ten seconds it ould have bean all over, and after reversing and applying the brake I shut mv eves, I didn't aut to see any more, "As we slowed down my fire ian stuck his head out of the cabwindow to see what I had stopped for when he laughed and shouted to me: Jim look here!' 1 looked, and there was a big, black Newfoundland dog holding the little girl in his mouth, leasurely walking towards the house where she evidently be longed. She was kickiug and crying so that I knew she wasn't hurt, and the doe had Sived her. My fireman thought it-f unny and kept laughing, but 1 cried like a woman, I. just couldn't help it, had a little girl of my own at home."

Atlaaa Journal. The board of consulting engi neers of the isthmian canal is stiJl hesitating between yarions plans submitted for a completed canal in five years was consider ed yesterday. But the engineers should not be too precipitate about accpting it. Maybe if they wait ten years more some one will evolve a plan by which the waterway can be finished in four years. M, Bunau Varilla, who was suddenly belched into promi. nence at the time the republic of Panama appeared, is author of of the plan. Itl could be deep ened, " says the Associated Press report of his canal, "to a sea level canal in five years more. The novel 1 eature of his plan is to construct the locks from a found ation below sea level. With the locks built down to the sea level depth the work of dredging the the canal could be continued without interruptiug its opera tion for commerce. The same locks could be utilized at every depth until a sea leyel was reach ed, when the locks could be taken out." The engineers rather liked Bunau Varilla 's method, but did not, of course, commit themselves That seems to be one of the chief functions of the various boardsto avoid com mitin g the msel vesabout the canal. Month after month has rolled by, and still the engineers have not yet decided on the sort of a canal they want. Will it be a sea level canal, or a lock affair, or what kind of a canal will it be? No one knows. And please don't bother the experts. They intend t ofind some plan for constructins the waterway in recordbreaking time is if takes twenty years of study.

They were John H, Wilson and William Parker, The police say their faces are in the rogues gal lery. The two men addressed a "common" letter to R. A. Jarrett, of Dillsboro, N.

The latter rigged up as a Southerner and drilled in a Southern drawl, took outside the city a train on which the "come on" had been told to arrive.

Washington, Sept, 18. The Department of Commerce and Labor has just published a report stating that the result of the at tempt to grow cotton in West Africa has been very discouragme owing to the absence of laborers. In Sierra Leone a cotton associ ation tried American seeds, but plantation did not prove to be a success. Under the most favor able conditions Sierra Leone could produce 150,000 bales, but for the next ten years no more than 6,000 bales a yeaj aiay be expected. Northern Nigeria, with a population of 20,000,000 of fairly civilized people, is best fitted for lhe cotton industry, but thelack of transportation facilities makes it impossible to conduct it. The colonies of Lagos, Southern Nigeria, Gold coast, Sierra Leone and Gambia could under most favorable conditions pro duce 350.000 bales but for the next eight years no more than 100,000 bales can be expected. Suicide in Shiloh Township. Yesterday at out 12 o'clock Miss Salhe Johnston, daughter of Mrs Mag Johnelon.who lives near New Stirling church, in Shiloh township lumped in the well at her home and was drowned before she conld be rescued. The young woman h id been in bad health for some time and this is the onlv reason that can be assigned for the suicide. It is sup posed that she had brooded over her condition until her mind became impaired, It is evident that she had been planning sui cide, for very recently she asked om6 of her friends if they thought she would be lost if she took her own life. The well in which she jumped is only about 25 feet deep and contains only bout three feet of water, but the woman was drowned before she could be taken out. Georgia Philospby. Atlanta Constitution. TheOld times were good times, but, thank the Lord, we're aliye to see the New! Even when we reach the Valley of Despair, we get cheeful hopin' for the best. It's hard to find a thornless rose; but the sweetness of the flower makes up for the bitter ness of the thorn. Life has many wholesome les sons for us, but when schoo1 ' takes in, we all play truant. TO THE MERCHANT: Write name and address Pointed Paragraphs. Chicago News. A cloak of charity is often a misfit. Love frequently begets hate, but hate never begets love. Somehow people never like to take advice from a poor man. Narrow-minded men seldom travel in the straight and narrow path. Health food is so called because a healthy person can eat it with impunity, A woman seldom says what she thinks when she hits her thumb with a hammer. It sometimes happens that a foolish woman mistakes her disa greeable disposition for a proud spirit. When a girl under fourteen is ambitious to become an actress, it's up to her mother to get busy with her slipper. It is simply a waste of time to argue politics or religion. The other fellow knows you are in the wrong just as well as you know he isn't in the right. The Ruling Pasdion. Charleston Xews. Representative James, of Ken tucky, gives a strong illustration of the "ruling passion, stroncr in death." "Old man Billy Bascomb was sick and his neighbors and fami ly felt that his demise was only a question of a few hours or days. As the meat was running low a steer was butchered and when his son came into the room the old man asked: "'What have you been doing, John? ' "Killing the steer, ' was the re ply. "What did you do with the hide?' astfed the old man faintly. '"Put it m the barn; going to sell it by and by. ' "'Oh, John.' "'Yes, pap.' "'Drag the hide around the yard a couple of times, and it will weigh heavier. ' "'Yes, pap.' "And the good old man was gathered unto his fathers." The Oak Tree's Reverie. Atlanta Constitution, "1 feel that trouble's coming'' said the Oak Tree: "Tke wind blows keen o' nights now, and I feel a sorter loosenin' of my leavie-a sudden shiver as the sap thrills through my veins. Old winter's on the way; lor, over there, in the fields made lair by Summer, I see the yellow corn and the song o' the reapers has silenced all the birds. But I'm not complaining, for I've had a hallelulia time the summer long! My broad, cool branches waved welcome to the winds, and rain sunshine shimmered in my laugh ing leave ! My shadow was rest and recompense to the sunburn ed toilers, and the tempests blew all the birds to my embracing arms. And when Winter strips my branches bare of bloom, the eirth will be all glorious with my golden leaves. I shall but sleep a while, and hear a later spring time signing in my dreams.

Charlotte Chronicle. Mr, G.B. Burkett, of The Progreseive Farmer, is urging upon his readers the value of nuts as food and it strikes us that he is engaged in a good work. Be gives the composition of chestnuts, peanuts, corn, potatoes and oatmeal feeding stuffs commonly used on the dining table. The composition of each is giyen, so any one can readily estimate the nutritive value of each. Chestnuts (native), ash, 1.62; protein', 7.55; starch, 39.66; fat, 9 39, Peanuts, ash, 2.21; protein, 26.62; fiber, 2,41; starch, 16.75; fat, 42.01. Corn, ash, 1.5; protein, 11,5; fiber, 2.1: starch, 79.6; fat, 5.4; Potatoes, ash, 1.0; protein. 2U; fiber, 6: starch, 17.3; fat, 1. Oatmeal, ash, 2; protein, 14,7; fiber, 9; starch, 67.4; fat, 7.1. Take peanuts, for instance, he says. While this nut is not con" sidered as a nut, properly speak ing, it can be used in this class ification. You see they take high rank as human food. They con tain more mineral matter than oatmeal and nearly twice the quantity of protein the blood, the muscle and the nerve maker. Nuts, then, including peanuts, should readily find a place on the home table. They are nutritious, wholesome and appetizing. Properly used they are unsur passed, and all the time they are cheap in prrice. From the stand point of value a dollar will pur chase mere of nuts or peanuts, than scarcely anything else eat en by man. Pattlesnake Bites Child. Special to The Charlotte News. Goldsboro, Sept. 22 Yester day morning while trying to liberate her pet kitten, which a rattlesnake had coiled its tail around, the little daughter of Dr. W. B. Crawford was bitten twice, and would haye been kill ed if it hadn't been for her father When she at ', last secured her kitten she let out to running with the snake close behind her. The father was attracted to the scene by the cries of his daugh ter and when he reached her, was astonished to seel a huge rattle snake close behind her. He seized a piece of wood close by and after about 15 minutes of work succeeded in killing it. He then proceded, to suck the poison from the wounds of his daughter as best he could, and applied every known remedy, but notwithstanding this the child has suffered excruciating pain ever since and is expected to die. The snake was about as large as a man's wrist and sever al feet long. JiO UNPLEASANT EFFECTS.
