well. No more valuable book has
ever b en published in North Ca

u 'The old South," the book is
full of inter-st for every student

school book, but is a book for the
general reader. The teacher of
he. history of North Carolina or
of the United States will find in
this bo jk much valuable assist
ance The Journal of Education.
A MERITORIOUS PUBLICATION.
ne of the most laudable works
being undertaken in" the State at
present is that of the North'Caro
iina Publishicg Society, of R-tl-eigh.in
gatheringand putting into
practical form the history of the
State. It has been said of us as
a people that North Carolinians
are great oa making his'ory. hut
indifferent to preserving it.
There .is, alas! too touch of truth
iq' the assertion. And so rt is
ratifying to note thn work Uj ui
which the above nam -u society,
compos d as it. is ut some of the
best kijo'-vu ajid most succ sssf ul
bii if!Hs tisen of Raleigh, have
em ba? !"d Thrt object of the so
ciety i. t v ; u.itrt the lives of
iiiitinguish-d citiz jusof the State
in a permanent form. Its effort
is purely historical and education
al. The Henderson Gold Leaf
The above is the title of si hand
some volumn reoeutly issued by
the North Carolina Publishing
Societ -. W. J. Peele, Esq., of the
Raleigh 'bar, is the author, or
rather the compiler, of the book
The book is made up of sketch
es and addresses on the lives of
some of the foremost men of the
State such men as Macon,
Swain, (iraham. Petigrew and
others.
We can hope for a now and a
rcaHy fair history of oa r State,
its- men and achievements only as
we gather together the lives of
its great men and see heir pow
er a men transmitted into the
lives of the people. History is to
a great extent biography, and as
we come to know our biography
we know what we have done for
ourselves and for the nation
From this point of view, then, the
volumn before us is of the great
est value as asub Uantial contri
bution to oor State history: our
representative men, our history
as it really is. shall be knewn. -
Another value, aside from the
' istorical and the biographical, is
the intrinsic worth of thecontents
of the book as literature.- The
ketches are by gneat men them
selves writing of great men.
Eich sketch is a finished literary
S'toduct, and. as such, aside from
r.y interest its subject matter
.ay have, is entitled to a high
iii auv estimate of the liter
i v productions of the State.

my consid rable literary reputa

The educational value of these
sketches and speeches, and of
such as may be published at a lat
or period, is probably what will
hiefly recommend thisundertak

public. A good course of home
reading about worthy men close

The Care of Animul.
The boy who is really fond ol
animals never illtreats his pets,
or abuses and makes a slave of his
dog On tho coutraty, his dog is
his companion and playmate.
The boy knows that a dog's mas
ter is a god in the eyes of the
poor brute, and is worshiped with
canine devotion, which again has
been proved faithful to deatl.
Such knowledge makes the boy
just and kind. But a dog is only
a domesticated wolf, and the wolf
is not the only wild creature which
can be domesticated, neither is the
wolf the only auinial which can
apprtciate kindness.
The same care which transform?
a red-mout ed wolf into a faithful
dog can transform other undomes
ticated beasts into useful creature
As soon as an animal learns that
you are . contribute g to ts com
fort in place of tor uenang it, vou
may notice it will greet you'it.h a
milder expression. As soon as
you can make the wild-st -ud fierc
est beast understand that the ua
of jaws, claws,or sttings are unnec
essary, it will refrain from using
them. It is not always pssidble to
come . to this understanding with
the largest bea-ts, but the lad who
loves his pets will bestow upon
tue little creatures that effection
which shows itself in a sympathy
which understands their -.wants
and necessities. Such a lad can
perform wonders,. birds will come
at his call, the small beasts of the
field will follow at his heels, and
u child will fear him." Harper's

They stopped the manufacture

01 THE USE OF TOBACCO.
Jts G iodand Bad EflectsA Cigar
ette a Pestilence Which Walk
etli at Noonday ! -
In the chapel of the Georgia
School of Technology, some day
ago, in the- presence of abbui
twenty professors and instruct -
or sand 200 students. President
Hall mala to ne remarkable stae
meats on the use of tobacco
which were instructi ve and at tht
same time beneficial. The lect
ure was based mainly upon the
records of student and graduates
of the school, and was. insub
siance, as follows:
I find that a comparatively
small number of our students are
addicted to the use of tobacco
This is gratifying, and what I
shall say will possibly be more ef
fective under such circumstances
as the use of tobacco may be pre
vented asier than discontinued
by arguments and lectures
What" I shall say is based upon
the very bestauthorily, and many
of my statjtneLJs are taken bold
ly from"works of uuiii'peachubl
scientific value. i - '
"Before America was disco. F r
ed tobacco was" unknown: to civi -ization.
Snuff taking was describ
ed by Ramon Paue, whoaccompa
uied Columbus on his second voy
age, and chewing was seen on the
coast of South America by the
Spaniards in 1502. The name
comes from a Y-shaped tube used
in San Domingo, the main stem
of which was inserted in the burff
inir weed and from the two
branches the nostrils inhaled the
smoke. The Mexicans gave the
name tobacco ts the weed itself
Tobacco is a narcotic; that
which produces sleep, but in pois
onous doses it iroduces stupor,
coma, convulsions and death.
"The name nicotine comes from
that of a Frenchman, Nicot, who
was first to spread'a knowledge
of the plant. It is admitted that
the presence of nicotine gives to
bacco its facination and power
over mankind. . This ingredient
constitutes from 2 to 10 per cent
of all tobacco. In its pure state
it is a volatile liquid, a pint bottle
of 'which would suffice to kill ev
erybody present,
"Burton, in the Anatomy of
Melancholy,' says: Tobacco has
a virture, because a good vomit
is, at times, beneficial' And the
old Englishman siys further:
As tobacco is commonly abused
by most men, as a plague, a mis
chief, a violent purge of goods,
land, health hellish, devilish and
damned tobacco, the ruin and
overthrow of body and soul.'
'In the young the use of tobac
co decreases the vigor of body
and mind and produces symp
toms of ancemia (deficiency of
blood), pa' pita tation (an unnatur-j
movement of tbe heart), and
other affections of the circulation
of .the blood. Smokers contract
amblyopia, or a dimness of vision
which defies the oculisFby not
producing arty change in the for
mation of the eye or its: muscles
The use of. tobacco in ;arly
youth checks the growth of mind
and body. When you offer a ci
uartttt to a friend you are saying:
Allow me, to impair y ourfuture
man hood by offering a poison, de
lightful in present effect, but
hich leaves in its wake the ash'
s of intellect and a withered rem
ant of your physique.

"Spend an evening smoking
with your friends, and what is
the effect? All of you awake rest
less feverish, low spirited and
dissatisfied. Your rising boll
seems possessed of an evil spirit
The mouth is bitter, the head is

."Dr. Todd, who wrote tht
grandest i-rinciples forstudeuis
which ever came from ihe pen of
men, says of tobacco: All ex p r

spirits low and moody, youi

Let us come nearer home
The present senior class is aboui
eveny divided into smokers and
non-smokers. Yet the highest
average in class standing prejom
inat among the con-smokers.
There is a member of that class
who. in my opinion, would now be
at the top had he loved his inter
sts more and h:s tobacco less
When two of that class were cho
sen as instructors the faculty had
many points of ability, tact and
character to consider. The
choice happened to fall on two
non-users
' "The highest averages in the
senior, middle, junior, apprentice
and sub-apprentice classes at the
present time happens to be held
by non uses.
In the middle class there is
only one user. His mark is be
low an average taken of all the
others. -
"In the apprentice class there
are four sections. The highest
average in each secti jn is held by
a non-user, with one exception,
and he is a young man who came
here more advanced in his work
than the rest of his class. His
average is lowe- this year than
last
"In the sub-apprentice class
thera are six sections. A, B, C,
D, and P. A non user holds the
highest average in ach of these.
Go to the hign sections (the
sections of the classes are ar
ranged by merit) for the clear.
eye. tne nne pnysique, the ni-at
appearance amoog your fellows;
seek the lower sections for the.
careless dress, the dreamy ex
