"A clergyman of the sensa

remarked the reformed news
paper man la-t night, "lnis
been making a practice of ho'd
ing baptism in most uncon
ventional places like, for in
stance, the East River, or a
fountain or any other place thrt
was handy. Inspired by the
examp e set, a negro preaclu r
of Long Island City, right
across the East river from New
York, recently began holding
baptisms in the East river,
much to the delight of the
gamins, who stood on the bank
and 'guved' the negroes as they
were submerged and c;.me up
streaming and full of religion
One Sunday morning an old
darkey showed up. He had
just gotten religion and he was
anxious to I>M baptized, but
win n he saw those who prec oi
ed him in the line ducked in tin
river until their heads were un
der water he showed a dis
position to balk. The-prtacher
sternly commanded him to step
up and 'git religion.' The o!i
darkey scratched his head and
said. "I s done and got re igion,
parson, but 1 sho don't wanici
jit drowned befo* I s baptized.'
The parson used much per
suasion, but all to no avail, and
finaliv he turned around and!

IVcod Too Hard to Burn.
There are certain kinds of
wood that are too hard to burn,
or refuse to ignite for some oth
er reason, such as iron wood
unci the good brier root, but it
is a curiosity to come across a
piece of common deal—the soft,
light wood of which so many
baxes are made —that can not
be set fire to.
The piece of wood in question
was common with deal from
Swden, but was remarkable
for its comparative weight. It
had formed part of a boat be
longing to a whaler and had
been dragged below the surface
of the \yater to. the depth of
more than half a mile by a
harpooned whale. The length
of line and the short distance
from the point of descent after
being struck at which the whale
rose to the surface was a proof
of the depth to which it had
dragged the boat.
Only part of the boat came
up again at the end of the line,
and it was taken on board when
the whale had been killed.
That piece of wood was so hard
that it would not burn in a gas
jet. The weight of water had
compressed it.—London Stan
dard.

i •
j The Commercial of Saturday
' told how the celebrated boxing
| monkey that belongs to Dan
' Quinlan swallowed a watch
j aud was taken to the hospital,
j Dr. Wilson tried to avoid an
operation, but on Sunday lie
• saw that the operation known
to surgery as gastrotomy would
have to be performed in order
to save the monkey's life and
recover the watch. A number
lof prominent physicians and
surgeons were present.
Dr. Davidson, of Columbus,
Ohio, was called upon to ad
-1 minister the ether. When
I placed on the table tjie monkey
! seemed to realize what was
| about to take place. It slu-d
! tears as it shook hands with
' persons it recognized ; it was
iin every respect like a human
. being. Tt willingly took the
tether. Dr. Wilson applied the
i knife. The watch was found
iin the stomach and was re
moved. It was very bright,
j having been highly polished by
: the gastric juices and was none
| the worse for the strange trip it
jhaduTkeu. The monkey was
sewed up by Dr. Wilson in ap
proval style and will recover.
After coining out of the sleep
produced by the ether the
i monkey smiled and shook hands
with and bowed to Drs. Wilson
and Davidson.—Buffalo Com

i tjtre to say that I now get more
I pleasure out of the little wages
I which my readers of The In

hem, than any rich mau in the
city gets rut of his tens of
thousands of millions. It is
lot in the wax* of sociability,

nve a sociable time with tln j

>y life is to be iiad by making

ashion or display. It is in

ipportunities or money losses,
keep out of the way of cranks
and quarrelsome people, and
try to see the bright or the
humorous side of things, culti
vate love for my kindred, and
crack my little chesnuts of a
[joke. I never read any of the
'crimes or scandal columns of
the dailies, choose cheerful
books, and get out of the way
of winners and growlers and
scandal mongers. t One can
have a pappy life, happy as the
day is long by making hap
piness one of thi> main purposes
of living. The foundation of
this is good health, and every
body can h' ve good health by
starting out in time for it. It
is to be had by tho moderate
eating of simple and wholesome

I enclose a printed list of
hooks adopted for u«:e in the
public schools by the State
Text-Book Commission aud of
prices and exchange prices of
these books. I desire to call
attention to the fact that the
use of these books in the pub
lic schools will be compulsory,
under the law, after July 1,
1902, and that, if old books now
in use are not exchanged be
fore that time, -the exchange
prices, according to the con
tract entered into with the pub
lishers by tho State-Book Com
mission. can not be taken ad
vantake of by patrons of the
public schools. I wish to urge
you, therefore, to send written
official notice to all the teachers
in your county urging them to
no'tify all children and patrons
of their schools, and to give
notice to all the people of your
county through 3*our county pa
per urging them to • take" ad
vantage of these exchange
prices before July 1, 1902- If
the patrons of the public schools
fail to avail themselves of these
low exchange prices before the
beginning of the next school
year, they will find themselves
under the hard necessity of be
ing compelled to buy new books
at the full price, and their old
books will be left as useless
property on their hands. This
would mean, of course, a great
loss to the people of the State
and a decided gain to the pub.
Ushers, Any book that has
been used or could have been
used by any child in the pub
tic schools of North Carolina
before July 1, 1902, may be ex
changed for a new book of like
grad« upon the same subject at
• the price quoted.
I send you under separate
cover 300 copies of this letter.

THE BIGGEST CHAIN EVER
MADE.
The Standard Chain Com
pany. with headquarters in
Pittsboro has just completed at
its work in Lebanon, Pa., the
longest and most powerful chain
ever produced. A duplicate is
to be made, the two for the,
Easton Shipbuilding Company,
New London Conn. They will
be used on two vessels to ply
between San Francisco and
ports of Japan.
The completed chain is of
330 fathoms, and an expert of
the Brittish Llovds Register
Association, has witnessed tin
test. When the order was placed
it was generally contested that
the chain would have to be
secured abroad ; that the mak
ers hero eoukl not supply a
chain of the character required
The chain was subjected to
the strain of a new GOO,OOO
pound testing machine at the
works by the Philadelphia Ma
chine Tool Company.
The tests were made in the
presence of W. Gordon Minch
in, of London, surveyor of the
British Lloyds Register. Ex
perts throughout the country
and in Europe were waiting
for the test. It had been ex
pected that the big chains would
have to be secured from a
British producer. The big
chain is what is known a cable
chain of 33 16 stud-link. —Pitts-
