"What force least expected does the greatest damage .to' buildings?" was a question: which a representative of the j Indianapolis News asked a well! known architect. The archi tect's answer may be a surprise to those who do not understand ' that it is a regularity of vi bration that makes it powerful. It is difficult to tell, replied the architect, but I will venture to say that you would never ex pect violin-playing to injure the walls of a building. Yet it certainly does. There have been instances when the wall of stone and brick structure have been seriously damaged by the vibrations from a violin Of cotirse these cases are un usual, but the facts are estab lished. The vibrations of a violin ait really serious in their unseen, unbounded force and when the) come with regularity they ex ercise an influence upon struc tures of brick, stone or iron "Of course it takes continuous playing for many years to loosen masonry or t > make iron brittle, but it will do it in lime. I have often thought of what the result might be if a man would stand at the bottom of a ' nineteen story light well, >r the iTrst floor of the gr.*at Ma sonic Temple, in Chicago, an i play there continuously. The result could be more easily j seen there than almost any-; where elsp, because the vibra-i tion "'a'hers force as it sweeps j i 1 i upward. A man can feel the vibrations! i of a violin on an iron-clad ocean j vessel, and at the same time be' ' unable t> hear the music. It! is the regularity which means' j sor much Like the constant j dripping of water which wears | tway a ston\ the incessant vi-l bration of the violin makes its wav to the walls, and attacks their solidity.—Youth's Com panion. c^.S'^'csTriXjfs..

The following is origin of "I j acknowledge tlie corn," which j is used in the sense of admitting | failure or having been outwit- j ted: In 1828 Andrew Stewart J was in congress discussing the principles ~of protection and said iti-the course of his remarks that Ohio, Kentucky and Indi ana sent their haystacks, corn fields and fodder to New York; and Philadelphia markets to j sell. ! Charles A Wyckliffe jumped up and said: "Why, that is; absurd, Mr. Speaker. I call: the gentleman to order. He is stating a:i absurdity. Wej never send haystacks or corn fields to New York or Phila delphia." ! "Well, what do you send?" ( asked Stewart. "We send," replied Wyck cliffe, "horse, cattle, hogs and inuh's." "Well," continued Stewart, "what makes your horses, cat- DUIMIM, IV. C.

You make i every one carry $5O worth of : hay or grass to an eastern mark let. You send a hog worth $lO jto market. How much corn at 33 cents a bushel doses it take to fatten it? Why, thirty bushels. Then you put thirty bushels of corn into the shape of a hog and make it walk to! ; an eastern market." i Before Stewart could proceed i further Wyckliffe arose and i said, "Mr. Speaker, I acknow ledge the corn." —Exchange.

During his 1 traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe , heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed al most impossible to chock, and along in June the case became -o bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last, hope.

Mr. Ralph Maultsby tells the i Observer of a horrible sight he | witnessed yesterday. He says that he was standing near the trestle at Hope Mills flagging for Capt. Murray, the section boss, talking to a well-dressed young man apparently about 18 years of age who said he came from BennettsviJle, when a work train approached, and he warned the boy to get off the track. The latter paid no at tention to him, however, and was struck, knocked down and run over. He says that his head was severed from the body, which was cut almost into j mince meat . —Fayetteville Ob !server. Beveridye Prognosticates. After a discussion of forty four days, a discussion which was pretty warm and also pretty foolish at times, the Philippine civil government bill passed the Senate Tuesday by what might be called a| strictly party, vote, for Mc- Laurin, of South Carolina, was the one "Democrat" who voted with the Republicans. But that was expected. He has been with them ever since he re versed himself and voted for the ratification of the Paris treaty, aud has since then been to ftll intents and purposes a Republican, although claiming! to be a Democrat. As it was apparent from the start that the majority in tend to put that bill through ! practically In the shape agreed upon, it is just as well that it has at last gone through and an eud come to the excitement, partisan scheming, misrepre sentation and nonsense. This discussion could have been ended in one day if the friends of the administration had frankly stated their po sition, for if they had admitted that it was thf> intention to give the Filipions independence when they became lit to ex ercise it there would have been no contest, while if tlity had declared it their purpose to hold them in a condition of permanent dependency the popular protest would have been so emphatic that they could not have commanded the support of a corporal's guard of Senators. They have been | playing a game of puplieity ail along to deceive the people and win support for the policy they are pursuing, Thot'o it=. HO way to judge of what they propose to do save by the utterances of party rep resentatives. and these are con flicting, the men who speak sometimes conflicting with themselves. In a speech de livered before an army society in Washington at the unveiling of a monument, a short while ago, President Roosevelt con cluded an expansion outburst with the declaration that the flag was in the Philippines, and that it would "stay put." In his Decoration Day speech at Arlington he incidentally inti mated that the Filipions might some day be granted indepen dence, in which event the flag would not "stay put," In the Senato Tuesday Sen ator Boveridge, a radical ex pansionist, ventured into the domain of prophecy with the prediction that "the world's next drama would be enacted on the Pacific and it was es sential that the mastery of that great ocean shou.d be ours and it would be ours." This mans contending for the mastery of one great ocean while having the other, i1; other words, the mastery of tiio world, against all the world, which is a pretty large sized job Mr. Bevcridge is putting up lor this country. And what is all this for? For the trade of China, for that is what this drama he predicts is to be about. This means that we must expand our trade and to do tiiat must have great na vies and armies to assert our supremacy in both hemispheres, not only a world power but a world dominator. This is a strenuous programme, but will it pay? —Wilmington Star A Washington dispatch say 6 that Senator Simmons, basing his figures on reports received from forty-nine counties, esti mates the number of voters dis franchised by failure to pay the poll tax at 7,220 Democrats, 10,000 white Republicans and Populists and 30,000 negroes flow many of the disfranchised negroes can read and write can not be definitely stated.

I enclose a printed list of books adopted for use in the public schools by the State Text-Book Commission and of prices and exchange prices of these books. I desire to call attentiou 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 the 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 notify all children and patrons of their schools, aud to give notice to alf the people of your county through your 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 lishers, - Any book that has been used or could have been used by any child in the pub lic schools of North Carolina before July 1, 1902, may be ex changed for a new book of like grade upon the same subject at the price quoted. I send you under separate cover 300 copies of this letter. Send a copy to every teacher aud school committeeman. Very truly yours, J. Y. JOYNER, Supt. of Public Instruction.
