'lal tnae in trie December Ladies'
I loijje Journal. , The tendency
may skip a generation or two, but
it is suit? to come out, as in a lit
i ! child you sometimes see a sim
i;:i'rity to a great grandfather
whose picture hangs on the wall.
That the pliysical and mental and
moral qualities are inheritable is
pati'iit to any one who keeps his
v s oH?u. The similarity is so
si i ik'iiig sometimes as to be amus
inir. Great families, regal or li t-
(M-ary, are apt to have the charac
teristics all down through the
nerat ions, and what is more
perceptible in such families may
be seen on a smaller scale in all
fa in dies. A thousand years have
wo power, to obliterate tha differ
ence. The large lip of the
House- of Austriaj is seen in
nil Hie docendants, and is
called the Hapsburg lip. The
House of Stuart always means in
;di generations cruelty and bigot
ry and sensuality. Witness
(Jueeii of Scots. Witness Charles
I and Charles TI. Witness 'James
1 'ami .James- II, and all the others
el' that imperial line.
Scot ch blood means persistence.
Dutch blood means cleanliness

W elsh " blood means religiosity.
Danish blood means fondness for
the sea. Indian blood means
miming disposition. Celtic blood

means conquest
'The Jewish faculty for accumu

He was jich in silver and gold

Which Way?
While Kissing along the street,
we heard a mother say to a little
;nrl, '-Come in here or I'll take
the hide off of your back. " This
was a woman in good standing;
a good CJiiistian woman; -but she
did not stop to consider. that she
was making some -very serious
mistakes, the results of which
will be eternal She did not know
why she used the unwomanly, ex
pression or why she skrpped the
child as she pulled her into the
house. If she had simply request
ed Helen to come im the child
would have done so pleasantly ;
there " would have been no rebel-
3 iou s rnanne r a l oused the child f s
- -
way of showing she had been
wrongly used. This child, if the
mother had iirst learned self con
trol, could have been governed in
a quiet manner, by a look, a word
or the lifting of the eyebrows;
loud Commands, whippings and
shakings were unnecessary.
There is .such a variety of dis
positions often among , the chil
dren of the same family. This
one is too bold and needs restrain
ing; one is too ti midland needs to
be pushed fonyard, one is too
saving and one is too wasteful
Parents need not attempt to edu
cate anoliscipline these children
in the same manner.
Often the mother is too lenient
the father to6 severe, and what
a ; sad sight is the . disorderly
home : there is often a continual
scolding, lault hndmg, ear boxing
and thumping, the father prohib
iting all childish sports, 4 the moth
er going to the other extreme un
til the children become uncon
trollable. We all know that in order to
inake a success of any land of
work, we must understand thor
oughly the nature of the work.
Theii how imrtbrtant it is that
parents study well the disposition
of each child and thus be enabled
to guide the children iiito good,
useful lives. Good government
is wdiat we want. Childish petu
lance, rebellion and rage should
be cheeked, or wdiatis better, pre
vented. Children should early
learn the great duty of obedience.
If you want to lower the res
pect your children have for you,
if you want them to 4 'light back"
if you want them to look upon
home as. a place to get away from
as early as jxssible, and upon
you as a tyrant if you want to fill
their minds with memories of un
just and cruel treatment, then try
to teach them obedience (?) by
force: scold, whip, slap, shake
and treat them at all times as inferiors.,-
If you want your chil
dren to always believe in your
goodness, if you want their child
hood days to be to them always
a -'.pleasant memory, if you want
your home tilled with sunshine
and joy, be firm, but gentle and
kind, treat these little ones as
reasonable beings, as your equals,
worthy your love and confidence.
Don't sacrifiice your own dignity
by a useless burst of anger. The
child heart is so generous, so full
of love for the parents; do not
weaken this but be in reality all
that you desire your children to
think you are. "Be patient with
my children, for they are God's
children.;' Word and Works.
The public schools are the most
civilizing and Christianizing influ
ence in the world to-day, outside
of the church, and iare equal to
that for they partake ot it In
the absence of any compulsory
statute every social and moral in
fluence in the community should
be exerted to its utmost to gather
into the schools all the children
every one so that if they' get
nothing more they may get that
discipline and learn those habits
of restraintand of proper conduct
which lead away from vice and
crime. Norfolk Landmark.
STORIES OP OLD HICKORY.
TWO THUTIIFUL AN D VERY CI IAU
ACTEIUSTIC YAIiXS OF TlltZ
; in:uo of new okj.hyxs. .
Lewis Cass. Secretary of War,
was over at the White House one
day with some important iapers
for the President to sign, among
them being a f,court martial find
nigs. '
'Cass, what is this?" inquired
Jackson as he was about to write
his name to the document .
'It i sa cour t ina r tial, ' an s wered
Cass.
"What have I to do with it'
asked the President
"It dismisses an officer from
the service, and the President
must sign such orders. "
Jackson toyed with the paper
and said, musingly: "Dismiss
him from the army, eh? Why?"
"Drunkenness; getting drunk
and falling down on parade, or
something of that kind "answered
the Secretary.
'Who orde red the cou r t? " a sked
Jackson:
"Gen. Scott, " answered Cass. .
"Who is it?" inquired the Pres
ident with more interest
"Inspector General Kraun,"
replied Cass.
"What!" shouted Jackson, "My
old friend Kraun! Cass, just
read what that paper says."
The Secretary read the usual
form of the court martial sentence
in such cases. The President
then took the paper and wrote
across the bottom; where he was
about .to sign his name: ,
''The within findings are disap
proved, and Col. Kraun is restored
to his duty and rank. " -
He passed , the . jxiier back to
Secretary Cass and said with his
Lusual vehemence: '
'fBy -the eternal! Cass, when
you and Scott serve the country
as well as ; that man has you can
get drunli on duty every day.
A young man from Tennessee,
son of a friend of General Jack
son's, came to Washington fr a
place. He looked about and found
what he wanted. ' It was in the
War Department and filled by a
very efficient Whig, whom Secre
tary Cass would not remove. The
young man told Jackson the situ
ation and Cass was sent for.
"Cass,!' said the , President
"this young -man, son of an old
friend, says you have got a place
in the War Department filled by
a Whig which you won't give
Mm." v ' ; . "
Secretary Cass explained that
the duties of the office were of a
peculiar kind and he could get no
one to fill the place if the man
now in. it should be removed.
Jackson flared uj).
"By the eternal, Cass, do you
mean to tell me you have an office
in your department filled by a
Whig which can't be filled by a
Democrat? Then abolish'jthe of
tice!" .
The young man got his place.
"' : : ;
Blinders. A
Few persons think of the suf
ferings caused to horses from the
use of blinders. The horse's eyes
are placed on .the side of the
head, but the blinders, shutting
off the side view, compel him to
look aheadr hence '"they cause a
constant strain, which veterinary
surgeons tell us tends to produce
weakness of vision and blind ness.
Besides, they act as reflectors
and reflect the sun's glare into
the animal's sensitive eyes. Most
people know the 'puinful effect on
the eye of a ray of sunlight from
a mirror.
When close to the head, blind
ers cause an unnatural heat
which is injurious. The horse is
not so likely to be frightened if he
can- see what is behind him. In
Russia where blinders are never
used, sl shying horse is almost
unknown. Care, of course, should
be used in taking them off horses
accustomed to them, z
Natural Soda in California.
California is one of the few lo
calities in the United .'States where
natural soda is found. The jreo-
graphicai occurence of this sub
s fance m the u mteo&uites is
pHncipally confined to the arid
regions of 'the Great Basin, es
p. cially to the soda lakes near
Ragtown, Nov.; Mono Lake, Mono
Gruinty, and Owens Lake, Inyo
County, Cat ; and xVlbert . Lake,"
Or., and to many dry deposits
and incrustations in the same
region. A iiU che in ieal d i sc u s
sion of the nature of natural sodas
and their technology, together
with numerous analyses of the
waters of the soda lakes and dry
deposits, are given by Dr. T. M.
Chalard .in BuUetin No. GO of tlie
United Stites Geological Survey.
The lakes, as shown bv Messrs.
King, Hague (fortieth parallel,
II.)and Russell. (Eighth Annual
Rexiort and Monograph XI., Uni
ted States Geographical Survey)
are, for' the most part the resi
dues left by the evaporation of
larger bodies of crates, the shore
lines of which can be traced at
considerable distances, some
times several hundred feet above
the present beaches, ' showing
that the old lakes covered "wide j
exjxmses of the p resent desert j
The concentration by evapora
tion of the waters of the former
lakes has increased the propor
tion of their mineral salts, and
sometimes this concentration
reaches the crystalizing point,
wheii the sodium carbonate ap
pears as a white incrustation on
the surface and shores of the
lake. The origin of this salt is
explained by the geology of the
region where it occurs, which is
given in the reports above re
ferred to. Mono and Owens
Lakes, in this State,, are outside
the great hydrographfc basin of
Lake Lahon tain. . Professor Rus
sell describes the geography and
geology of Mono Lake in the
Eighth Annual Report of the Uni
ted States Geological Survey. Its
hydrographic basin has no outlet
but streams and sjirings feed the
lake, and the only escape for the
water is by e vaixration. The an-"
cient shore lines can be traced
far up on the sdes of the Sierrfi
Nevada, - which formed the West
ern shore of the ancient lake.
There are springs in the bottom
of the lake and near its shores.
They a re e specially ab u nd a n t nea r
the base of the mountains the
seat of former orographic move
ments and a belt of hot springs
extends along the range for hun
dreds of miles. Just south of the
lake is a series of volcanic cones
known as Mono craters, so that
the locality is one of former Vol
canic activity. The high saline
contents of this and other lakes
is due to the gradual concentra
tion of its own water supply.
Min. and Sci. Press.
He's Dead at Present.
Julius Ca?sar was considered a
great man. and so he was. -But
he had his limitations, and some
unknown writer gives a few illus
trations. He never rode on a 'bus
in his life; he never spoke into a
telephone ; he never sent a tele
gram ; he never entered a railway
train; he never read a newspaper;
he never viewed his , troops
through a field glass; he never
read an advertisement; he never
used patent medicine; he never
corne red the wheat marke t ; he
never crossed the Atlantic; he
never was in a machine shop: he
never Went to a roller skate rink:
he never controlled a manufac
turing company; he never dicta
ted a letter to a typewriter girl;
he never invested in railway
stock; he never played a gameof
billiards ; he never saw an elec
tric light; ne never listened to a
phonograph; he never posted a
letter; he never had his photo
graph taken.
; Organize Clubs.
It is gratifying to-know; that
Davidson College students, under
the direction of Dr. CurrehV have
organized a club for the study of
current questions. There is al
ways danger of college students
persuading themselves that all
their time can most profitably be
devoted to ftext books ; and al
though the coilejres of this State
are pimidtnl with libraries and
reading-rooms, j it is a fact that
many college students never en
ter the Latter, at least with seri
ous purpose. There have been
college seniors in this decade who
never heard of Charles Stewart
Parnell or Henry Grady ; and they
were not foot-ball or atheletic
men, either, as one might sup
pose.; . li.-. " "
Acquaintance with history, the

The people of every community
will do well to organize such clubs,

FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
ANTHONY DAMS OF LENOIU COUN
TY DEAD HIS CURIOUS WILL.
Mr. Anthony Davis died Sun
day at his residence in Pink HUl
township aged abjaut 75 years.
Mr. Davis left an estate worth
between 10,000 and 20,000. His
will -is quite lengtliy, being 32
pages of legal cap paper, which
will be probated next Monday.
He left his property to the public
school fund of Lenoir county, ex
cept the interest on 1,000 which
is given to his housekeeper. The
will provides that for 100 years
the .interest or profits only from
his property shall be used for the
publicscnools, but if there should
come a time when there are no
public schools in the county then
the benefits from the proierty
shall go to the general ' county
fund to lessen taxes, further pro
vided that if a new county shall
be established before the expira
tion of 100 years with his place
as the county seat then the prop
erty shalj go for the benefit of the
new county; enough shall betak
en from this fund to repair his
cemetery every three years. At
the expiration of 100 years, if a
new county is not foriked the es
tate may be sold and the entire
proceeds turned over to the coun
ty. Kins ton Free Press.
