Then the blade of a knife appeared, slowly cutting through the sacking. Thoroughly terrified, she picked up her father's gun and fired. The move ment stopped at once, and blood com menced to ooze through the sacking. The girl fled from the house and a short distance down the road met her father. He secured the assistance of two gendarmes and hurried home. In side the sack was found the dead body of a burly man, armed with revolver ana a knife. Suspended from his neck was a whistle, and believing it was intended as a means of summoning accomplices, the police blew a series of calls. Almost immediately three men ran up, and seeing themselves trapped opened fire with revolvers. The officers returned the fire with the result that one of the robbers was killed and his two companions captur ed. Death of Mrs. Ballew. Social to The News. Lenoir, N. C, March 11.

Modern Machine v;:. Ancient Toil. No one Las been able to decide how the enormous stones in the Pyramids were handled; for, even allowing for the vast army of men. some sore of mechanical contrivance must have been used. One theory is that as each course of stone was laid, a sand em bankment was built around it with long easy slopes so that the stones for the novt rnnrsp rniilrl Via unshed 111) OH J rnllers and slide into olace without any actual lifting, and so on, the pyramid being in fact buried as fast as it was built, until the top was reached, when the stupendous job of removing the 3and embankment was commenced. This might account for the vast army of laborers used; for instance, it is said that in building the great pyramid of Cheops 10,000 men were employed for 30 years, although the quarry from which the stone was obtained was only 3,000 feet from the pyramid. The City Investing Building, the larg est skyscraper in New York, happens' to be nearly the same height as the pyramid. If we required the same number of days' labor for this build ing, which takes a year to erect, as the Egyptians took, we would have 30 multiplied by 100,000, or 3,000,000 men working every day for one year on this one building. Imagine a number of men equal to almost tue entire pop ulation (including men, women and children) of New York city, trying to reach the corner of Broadway and Cort landt street every morning'. Even if thev got there, there would remain the impossibility of standing room, let alone wrking room for them, or of providing a commissariat's or hygienic department. Against this 3,000,000 men working every day for one year, the average number on the City Invest ing Building would not exceed 2,000 men a day, while the maximum would probably never reach 3,000. While in some ways it is not fair to compare a stone structure with a steel build ing, still there is no doubt that the chief difference is due to the improved machinery, the greatest strides in which have been made within the last twenty years many kinds of work now -. n 1, ll-' 4-n mi r. being handled m irom one-nan. iu uu- , third the time that was required two decades ago. T. Kennard Thomson, m i the Engineering Magazine for March. 1 William Glad stone's Life One of the most interesting and help ful of biographies is the life of William Ewart Gladstone by John Morley. The careful reading of it is a liberal educa tion in modern English political life. More than that, it is a fascinating story of one of the greatest personalities of all time. 1 1 saw Mr. Gladstone in the house of commons in the summer of 18S8. It was a time of great excitement. Charles Stewart Parnell was on trial and there was intense interest in all the pro ceedings of the house. The stooped form of Mr. Gladstone, as he entered the house of commons, made an ineffaceable impression upon me. He carried two or three books and a writing tablet, and took his seat by the side of Mr. John Morley. Though speeches were being made he seemed undistracted, and eagerly devoted him self to reading and writing. But a speech by some one in one of the galleries attracted his attention. At once Mr. Gladstone secured the floor and made a short, but character istic speech. As he spoke there was in tense interest, and frequent demonstra tions, both by friends and opposers. Each sentence and nearly every clause of each sentence was punctuated either by cheers and hisses. The element in his personality that impressed me most forcibly was his ceaseless, concentrat ed energy. Ability to read and write in the midst of speechmaking in the house of commons was no chance ac quirement. Back of it was life-long dis cipline. When he was asked what was his master secret, he said, "Concentra tion." In the opinion of his intimate ac quaintances his concentratedness was one of his characteristics. When visit ing a private home he would utilize fragments and intervals of time. It is said that even when he had hut 10 or 15 minutes he would produce pen and ink, paper and postaf cards, and begin answering letters. The habit of per sistent, definitely aimed toil accounts for the prodigious quantity and large, variety of work he achieved. Probauiy no other man in his time, absorbed in great affairs, was able to maintain so deep an interest in so many and varied subjects. He was a constant student of the Bible and of Homer. He also thoroughly investigat ed the abstruse writings of Bishop Butler. He wrote voluminously on several difficult topics treated by But ler, such as, "Our Condition in a Fu ture Life," and "Probability as a Guide on difficult themes. His activity manifested itself also in his perseverence in reading. He visit ed a friend at 6 o'clock in the evening. He and Mr. Gladstone began talking on political and theological subjects and became in conversation so that it was 2 o'clock at night when his friend left the room to fetch a book from his library bearing on thcQpitfcer under dis cussion. He was out of the room but a few minutes and when he came with the book he found Mr. Gladstone deply engrossed in a volume that he had taken from his pocket. It is reported that when he had reached the age of 84 he sometime read 10 hours a day. He looked on time as a talent not to be lost. Mr. Gladstone did not call himself a rapid reader, but at times he was able to peruse great books quickly. It is said that when the life of Lord Tenny son appeared, in two octavo volumes, Mr. Gladstone read it within two days of its publication. . ; His ceaseless, multifarious activity No IMPOSSIBLE prices, such as $400 Pianos for $300 or less.

Even in his old age his strength was unimpair ed and his eye undimmed. His marve lous recuperative power is shown in the unusual length of his public service. Unlike many of the world's great men who wrought nobly with .weak .bodies, Gladstone doubtless owed his prolong ed period of usefulness to his fong con tinued physical vigor. It seems but the other day that he died, and yet he was a master in English statesmanship many years before before our own Lin coln came to the throne of his pow er. Gladstone's strength came through a natural process, and was in no sense abnormal. In this particular he was unlike Mirabeau, who had three back teeth at the time of his ' birth, and soon after had the smallpox. Mirabeau was so homely that his father entered him at school under another name, but his tremendous physical vitality, as in the case of Gladstone, helped to supply the force needed for the conquering of gigantic difficulties. Gladstone's physi cal vigor was accompanied by a charm of person that was winsome. When Gladstone was once asked the secret of his steadfast physical vitali- There was a road leading UleU Uia.ll ClL ailj' WLLLCl- J 'V-U' ed the fact that it was perfectly level. Consequently the animals in traveling over it used only one set of muscles." Gladstone was saved by the great varie tv of tasks that he set himself to do. The lines of eternal grace in any rOmmrter' have to be cut with ex tremely sharp tools. . . A man is wdrth what he gives the world, not what he gets from it.
