Stars Foretell Success For New
Administrations.
If the stars are to be consulted
the position of the planets
considered from an rstrological
horoscope the omens are rather
favorable to President McKinley
as he enters upon his' duties as
Chief Magistrate of the nation.
The ancients thought those j
heavenly bodies, or "being,
worthy to be woi shipped, wield
ed arbitrary influence over the
destiny of nations and of men.
The notice of Aristotle, as taught
in the walks of the Lyceum at
Athens, over 2,000 years ago,
that the heavenly bodies were
"ensouled," was considered
science even by Kepler and Lily,
the last of the famous astrolog
ers, was called before a com
mittee of the House of Commons
in the reign of Charles II. to
give his opinion of future events.
. The method of finding the
fate of any man or enterprise is
to draw a horoscope, represent
ing the position of the stars and
planets, either in the whole
heavens or within one degree
above the eastern honzon, at the
time of the birth of individual
or the inception of the undertak
ing. Arbitrary significance is
1 rc .1 1-1 1 :
o;iv.?!t airiereni i eaveniy uumes
as they appear, singly or in con
junction, and according to these
significations the horoscope is
interpreted.
The visible and invisible uni
verse is divided into tv lve equal
parts by the horizon, the meri
dian and four other circles pass-
ing through the north and south
points of the horizon and the
points of the equator, which are
at the distance of thirty and
sixty degrees from the meridian.
The spaces are called the twelve
hoiises of the heavens, and the
circles by which they are cir
cumscribed are called circles of
position.
The circles are supposed to
remain fixed so that a celestial
body is carried through each of
the twelve houses in q. day by
diurnal rotation. The first circle
is drawn through the east point,
and the space between it and the
next circle toward the north
corresponds to the first house,
galled the asc ndaut, or house
of life. The next space, proceed
ing from the east to north, cor
responds to the second house,
called the house of riches, and
so on through the twelve. The
third is brothers, the fouth is
parents, the fifth is children, thej
sixth is health, the seventh is
marriage, the eight is death, the
ninth is religion, the tenth is
dignities, the eleventh is friends,
and the twelfth enemies. Each
one of the houses has one of the
heavenly bodies as its peculiar
lord. The first lord is consider
ed the most powerful. There
are three t aspects reconed.
Opposition is consider
ed malignant, the time as pro
pitious, aftd the conjunction as
indifferent.
The astrological planets are
sesren, including the sun and
ldoon. Saturn, being so far from
the sun, is c-nisidered to be of a
cold nature. It is named the
Great Infoi tune, and is the most
unlucky of all the planets. It
is visible now at 5 o'clock iu the
morning iu the constellation
Scorpio. Jupiter, or the Great
Fortune, is in the fifth house,
and is propitious. It is seen to
ward the east among the stars
of the constellation Leo. Mars
and Neptune are in the second
house.
While the presence of Mars
means war, yet its conjunction
with the moon so soon after
President McKinley 's adminis
tration began lessens the asperity
of the fiery planet. The position
of Neptune at this time is of
minor significance, but will be
propitious as the season advan
ces. Venus is lord of the first
house, the ascendant, and is very
favorable to the President's
general success and continuance
in office. Mercury and the moon
are in the eleventn house, that
of friends. The former is signi
ficant of rapid action, the latter
of changes and fickleness. How
ever, each in their present posit
ions are considered propitious.'
Taken as a whole, from an
astrological view, the new Pres
ident begins his great executive
..(work under favorable stellar
predictions Washington Post.
Great Luck of a Drummer.
William Weedy, 20 years old,
a commercial traveler of Mary
land, has been advised that he
has fallen heir to $30,000 by the
death of John Ward, of Minne
apolis, Ind., which occurred on
January 24 last. Young Weedy,
while in Minneapolis several
years ago, paid some attention
to Mr. Ward's daughter. Mr.
Ward took an interest in him,
and when he became ill, during
his visit, all expenses were de
frayed by that gentleman. He
subsequently returned East and
had almost forgotten all about
Ward. He says that Mr. Ward
was reputed at that time to be
worth 2200,000, and he could
only account for his being res
membered in the will on the
ground of personal friendship.
Mr. Weedy a few mouths ago
was married to a young lady re
sidit g near Akron, O.
Who is He?
Who weeps with you when
you are sad, and laughs with
you when you are glad, and
swear with you when you are
mad,? Who has to be both kind
and wise, and never hardly
ever lies, and when he does
causes surprise? Who doeth not
to friend and foe, as they oft do
unto him you know, and just be
cause he loves them so? Who has
a heart as well as cheek, and is
possessed of a spirit meek, and
lives ou 40 cents a week? The
edjtor Excliangt.
Many people are accused of
thinking too highly qf them
selves, but the fact is that the
majority do not respect and re
verence themselves enough.
Even in the most secret place
we should scorn to do anything
that would make us less able to
lespect ourselves. We should be
like Socrates, who used to say
that there was one man of whom
Juj wag terribly afraid and that
was Socrates. Few men, and
perhaps no woman, pass a glass
or mirror, or even a wellpolished
door handle, without looking at
themselves in it. This would
not be a bad hab:t if they would
reason iu this way: If I am hand
some I must take care that my
character corresponds; if ugly,
let me be all glorious within.
Children
One satisfaction in giving1
Scott's Emulsion to children is
they never object to it. The
fact is, they soon become fond
of it. Another satisfaction is
because it will make them
plump, and give them growth
and prosperity. It should be
given to all children who are
too thin, or too pale. It does
not make them over-fat, but
plump.
It strengthens the digestive
organs and the nerves, and fur
nishes material for rich blood

STRUTURE WITH LARGE
SEATING CAPACITY
RECTED IN ONE DAY.
Contract Closed Fridav; Service
Held Following Sunday
A church ith a seating eapa-.
city of 3,000 persons, heated by
three furnaces, and lighted with
electric lamps, was built between !
daylight and midnight last Sat
urday at Ravenswood, a suburb
of Chicago, and was dedicated at
10:45 o'clock this morning by
the Rev. M. B. Williams, of At
lanta, Ga., assisted by nearly all
of the clergymen in Ravenss
wood.
The contract for the church
was closed at midnight Friday.
The first lumber was hauled to
the site at 3 o'clock Friday af
ternoon, and men began string
ing electric light wires from a
plant two miles away. At 5
o'clock yesterday morning ten
men were put to work, and the
number of workmen was in
! creased till there nearly 200 en
gaged on the structure.
At exactly midnight last night
the janitor turned the key in the
lock of the front door and went
home to get a little sleep before
opening the church for services
The church was dedicated with
a debt of $300, which it is ex
pected will be paid off this
week. The exterior of the edi
fice is modeled after a popular
conception of Noah's Ark. The
nave of the church is eighteen
feet high., whih the aisles are
aboqt eight feet lower. No
floor was laid, but the ground
was covered with fine shavings.
BEWARE OF ALL COTTON,
Every indicatiqn uqw points
to the fact that a larger acreage
of cotton will be put in this
spring than has ever before been
known in the history of the
country. Statistics show thafc
the acreage planted last year was
unusually large, and but for unr
favorable weather conditions
droughts iu some sections and
superabundance of rains in others
the crop would have been the
largest, and the price perhaps
the lowest, 0:1 record. As it was
the crop was cut very short and
the price went up correspond
ingly, to .he great satisfaction of
such as had made crops. The
result of these good prices and
the phenomenal yield obtained
in those sections where the crop
did succeed have enthused cot
ton planters all over the South,
and they are preparing now for
the opening of the farming' sea
son with more enthusiasm than
they have displayed in many
previous years. The result, we
fear, will be that they will over
do the matter and effectually
knock the bottom out of the
market next fall.
. So long as our farmers live at
home they can raise 5 cent cot
ton or even 2 cent cotton, pro
vided they grow it purely as a
surplus crop, but when they
make the mistake of attempting
to buy dollar wheat, or 10 cent
beef with 5 cent cotton they are
doomed to immediate failure
from the start. Corn, cattle, hogs
aud sheep can be raised cheaper
than cotton, and the advantage
with them is that if the market
does not suit the farmer can con
vert his corn into stock a:, i then
salt the latter down "for future
reference." By adopting such a
policy he can always live even
though he may not sport as much
money as the "bloated bond-
holder" may do on occasions.
Farming is an eminently practi
cal vocation and the farmer who
goes at it in a practical manner
will succeed and gradually grow
rich. B. R. Advocate.

SOUTH MILLS.
Prosperous Condition of Affairs
Work on the Canal.
The South Mills correspond
ent of the Virginian writes:
"The report which has been so
widely circulated and easily be
lieved that South Mills was a
dead town, and all that was
necessary for a funeral was the
appearance of the dredcres to
bury it, is now discredited.
"A few days ago the workmen
and machinery to build the new
1
lock and waterway at this end
of the canal arrived. Laborers
have been at work for several
days excavating for the founda
tion of the wasteway, which
must be built before the work on
the lock can be done. After the
wasteway is completed so that
the surplus water can be turned
out.and thus prevent an overflow,
a nam is to be put across the
canal to hold the water back
while the old lock is being taken
up and replaced by a new one,
which is to be more than twice
the size of the present one.
"In a few days workmen will
begin to build the derricks with
which to remove the heavy stone
from the old lock. The pile
drivers and steam pumps will
soon be in operation, aud a full
force ot men will be at work.
?,The three pump dredges are
now doing good work in the
canal, running both night and
day, and three more, two oi
which are now in the canal, will
soon be at work. Dipper dredges
are also being built to aid in
deepening and widening the
canal. These dredges are so
large that they could not be
brought through the Jocks, and
it was therefore necessary to
build them inside, where they
will cut their way.
Farming With one Horse.
There are already very many
small farms where the expense
of keeping two horses is greater
than the profit from the land
will stand. As population be
comes more condensed the mini
ber of such farmers is sure to
increase. With light plows
suitable to be drawn by one
horse, a good deal of ploughing
may be done. If. still faster
ploughing is desired, two larms
ers, each working a single horse,
may unite their forces. This is
the wav that French farmers do,
and we have seen the same pract
ice near some American cities.
It is chiefly in drawing man
ure that the twohorse team is
most essential, for it is the practs
ice to make the manure box
very large, so that two good
horses are required to draw it.
American Cultivator.
Talking Machines.
The talking machine is now
used in Chicago as an aid in the
teaching of foreign languages.
An instructor iu Spanish has a
large number of cylinders or
"records," which are intended
to assist to a correct pronunci
ation. The student sits down
with the talking machine and
listens to its repeated pronuncU
ation of a certain word, and then
tries it for himself. There are
also special lessons in reading
and spelling. The instructor
recently solicited a young busis
ness man to take a course ol
lessons in Spanish on the talk
ing machine. "Why, 1 didn't
know you could get those ma
chines to talk foreign langu-
ages:

It is. or should be, the highest

CAUGHT BY A MOB-
Negro Shot down while Woman
Begged for Death.
From Pickings county, Ala
bama, comes the news of the
killing of Andy Beard, a negro,
eloped with Dora Baines, a good
looking country girl, daughter
of Jordan Baines, a prosperous
farmer living nine miles from
Kennedy.
The killing took place near
Olney township and a second
posse, consisting of twenty-five
determined men, did the work.
The first posse followed the
negro and girl and went almost
to Columbus, Miss. The second
posse is said to have overtaken
the pair.
The negro showed fight and
then attempted to run when he
was shot down, aud literally filK
ed with lead.
The girl seeing the negro
killed, begged the posse to shoot
her also.
The posse retired aud allowed
the girl's father and brother to
take charge of her. She was
carried home and a severe flog
ging is said to have been admin
istered. The negroe's body was lett
iviug in the road.
I desire to attest to the merits
of Chamberlain'sCough Remedy
as one of the most valuable and
efficient preparations on the mar
ket. It bro'e an exceedingly
dangerous cough for me in 24

I desire to inform you that I will

and by a secret process minute
threads of red and blue silk are
distributed over the surface, the
incorporation of these with the
