Whether inquisitiveness is to be rated as a virtue or a vice depends very much upon its purpose and upon the extent of its exhibition. It is quite commendable in the younj who are simply seeking useful informa tion; it is impertinent in the mature who are trying to gratify their curi osity or to find food for gossip. Children are sometimes encouraged to ask questions in an aimless way and become nuisances because of their inquisitiveuess, although the child who asks questions intelligent ly and for the purpose of acquiring knowledge is interesting and de serves the encouragement of answers and explanations. The inquisitive ness of the gossip and meddler is of a ver' different kind, and is always offensive. The meddling gossip does not seek useful information and may not intend any harm; sometimes he or she asks questions with no aim whatever, but simply as a matter of bad habit and to maintain a conver sation. More often, however, the inquisi tive person of mature years is a malicious gossip. That which he or she learns is repeated, with varia tions; sometimes with the purpose, always with the effect, of creating controversies and embroiling mutual friends. The most trivial matters are made the subject of exhaustive inquiry; if two accounts do not ex actly agree, attention is called to the variations, with implications that someone has told an untruth. In such cases a matter of no importance, one way or another, is magnified until it is mdea cause " for serious dispute. Inquisitiveness of this kind is extremely reprehensible. It is generally malicious, but where it has no bad purpose it is no less malevo lent in its effect. This form of in quisitiveness is generally, in part at least, the result of habit and can be avoided by anyone who is disposed to do so. The inquisitiveness of the child or of the uninformed seeking useful knowledge deserves to be encouraged as long as it is legitimately exercised for good purposes. The inquisitive ness of the malicious gossip should never be satisfied. The individual should also keep guard upon himself, that he may not grow into the habit of asking aimless or awkward ques tions, or of seeking information for which he can have no proper use. He will thus avoid becoming an idle or malicious gossip, and he will keep his mind free of trivial matters and open to receive useful information. There is good reason to believe that the mind of man is of limited capac ity. Whether it be of pint or of quart capacity, it can retain only a certain amount of impressions. It is well, therefore, to select the mat ter with which it is to be filled. The man who knows all the gossip of his neighborhood, the private af fairs of his acquaintances, the ages of all his friends, the scandals of society, and so on, seldom exhibits any other knowledge. He has filled his mind with trivialities, misusing the inquisitive faculty. He is a l'aul Prv and, as such, despised of all men But inquisitiveness properly employed in moderation may be used to add to one's useful iniormauon, !c tT fbief stimulus to scientific achievement. Men ought to ask questions of their fellow-men and of nature, but only to acquire legiti mate information, and with a goou purpose. A WOSUKKFCLCVKEOl' UIAKKHOKA. .

Arp Says a Change of Mental Food Is What Is Required. The mind doesn't need rest, for it will not rest, but it needs a change of mental food. We cannot at will stop thinking, but we can give our thoughts a more pleasing direction and that is rest. And so, when I get tired and perplexed reading and ruminating about the war and the negroes and political corruption, I take a day off and commune with nature and her wonderful works, which are ever before us and around us. It is even a rest to hear it thunder and to watch the gathering of the clouds and welcome the big drops of rain that fall on the steps. When the lightning is flashing and the thunder stroke comes quick and sharp and near, we retire from the veranda and for a little while humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, and that is rest. Then let us not worry and perplex ourselves all our waking hours about things which are afar off, but take shelter and comfort at home. Let us change the diet and it will rest us mentally and physically. My good father was a philosopher and would say to me, now, my son, I want you to hoe these potatoes and when you get tired you can weed the onions for a rest," Professor Mitchell, the great astronomer, told men that when he was wearied with long and perplex ing calculations and his eyes were tired of figures, nothing relieved him more than a game of whist with bis wife and children. It was a delight ful rest. But my sweetest rest is a frolic with the little grandchildren and listening to their innocent discourse. There are two little girls of three and five, who visit me almost every day and climb my knees and kiss my old rough cheek, and say that I anf j not old nor ugly and every night I help their mother put them to bed and tell them the same old stories about Jack the giant killer, and the bean vines and the wolf and the pigs and little Red Riding Hood, and what I did when I was a little boy. By and by the monotone of my voice becomes their lulaby and the little eyes close and the little heads fall over on my shoulder and they are off for the land of dreams. When the father has gone to his drug store every night and old granpa is a help to a tired mother, and I am thankful that I am yet fit for that. I saw a pair of old fashioned blue birds to-day and felt like the friends of my youth had come back. Some years ago they disappeared and I have wondered what became of them. A ladybird with only one leg comes every day to the fountain to drink. I am trying to make a friend of him, but he is shy and suspicious. Some cruel boy has hit him with a sling shot I reckon, for I see them some times in the back alley trying to get a shot at my pigeons. Maybe that jaybird will meet that boy in purga tor'. Boys are as mean about kill ing birds as our government is about killing Filipinos. But this is a Christ ian country and, I reckon, it is all right. These pigeons that have a home at my house are an interesting study for the young people. We have about a hundred of them, and some of them are ever before us as we sit on the veranda. They are of many colors, from almost black to a pure snow white, and at all hours of the day they gather at the little hydrant fountain in the front yard aud drink and fly away. The pigeon is the only bird that drinks by draught or suction, as we do. All the other birds raise their heads and let the water run down by gravity and then dip the bill down for another drop. Pigeons do not feed their young with worms or hiurs. hut the old birds digest their food in their own craws into a curd and inject it into the mouths of their voung. Hence it is that very young pigeons or squabs generally die when they are given away. Pigeons are nrt pv.irtlv doI v'f?amists. but the males have no particular mate and they will feed the young of any mother. Indeed, they do most of the feeding. They are not gallina ceous no razores. JNow lei me young people hunt up these big words. They can walk but cannot hop. Most all other birds can hop, but cannot walk. Of course pigeons are pigeon toed, and so are some other folks we know. A pigeon-toed girl generally lour? dresses. Then there is a language called pigeon English. It is really pidgin English, for pidgen is aChinese word andraeans business, and pidgen English is a mixture of Chinese and English and of signs by which business is transacted in the ports between natives and foreign ers. The migrating butterfly is moving southward. For two weeks past one or more have been seen at all hours of the day on the wing passing through our grove. My neighbors far and near tell me they are pass ing their homes. It is a good, large yellow butterfly of uniform size and shape and color. They do not come in pairs or flocks but singly and not often in sight of each other. They all come and go in the same dircc tion and do not stop a moment nor pause to suck the honey from a flower. Well, now I have counted them by the clock as they passedJ and made five in a minute through my five-acre grove. That makes 300 in an hour or 3,000 in a day. If then we count COO to an acre in a day 100 acres would make 00,000. Ten thou sand acres would make 6,000,000 for a single day. How many more acres do they pass over and how many more days? Think of it and the books say they are going south to winter and die. They laid their eggs up north before they began their long journey. - From observation I should say they average forty miles a day. It is not a rapid flght, but is unbroken. What a singular crea tion is this and who can tell the why and wherefore. Nature is full of mysteries and wonders. My daily mail brings many in quiries and some of them I cannot answer. A "Constant Female Read er" wants to know how the moon influences the making of lye soap and must the pot be stirred back wards or forwards. Well, I gave it up and referred the writer to Aunt Betsy Hamilton. Another inquiring mind wants to know why mules' tales are shaved and their manes clipped. I have referred him to Uncle Remus, but I interviewed some of my friends and one said be cause it improved the looks of the animal and gave the mule a git-up-and-git appearance. Cobe said it was done so you could tell 'em from a horse, for it was a reflection on a horse to be taken for a mule or for a mule to be taken for a horse. An old farmer said it was done to get rid of currying and cuckleburs, and thereby please the negroes who had to plow them, but it was mighty hard on the mule in fly time. My friend, John Anderson, says that an unsheared mule is a very un sightly beast. Jim Jeff had one that he raised and never would have trim med. When the mule was twelve years old JetT tried to swap her off to his neighbor, Stegall, for a horse, but they couldent trade. Then he offered to sell Kit to Stegall for $73, but he wouldent give it. Not very long after that Jeff comes to town and a Tennessee horse trader got hold of him and gave him an old chunk of a horse for his mule. Kit was put under the shears forthwith. She was clipped and rubbed and washed and groomed and in a few days was transmagnified into a very respectable looking animal. Stegall wanted a mule about that time and the Tennesseean sold Kit to him for $100, but he dident know it was Kit. Next day Jim Jeff had business over at Stegall's and Stegall took him down to the lot to show him what a fine mule he had bought. As soon as Kit spied her old master she nick ered and tottered up to him and put her head affectionately upon his shoulder just as she used to do, and Jeff kissed her on the nose, and said: "Kit, why Kit, is this you ? Bless your old soul. I oughtent to have sold you. Stegall, I will give you $75 for her just because she loves me so. " Mules are curious creatures, but they fill a long felt want and never strike for higher wages. The mule and the negro are a happy combina tion and when the negro is deported the mule will go, too, I reckon. My neighbor, Morris, has a very fine mule and about six months ago this mule tried to pick his teeth with his hind foot, and got the shoe fastened in his mouth on a broken tooth. Mr. Morris worked an hour to unloose it, and then called in the neighbors and they worked with ropes and levers, but couldent. All of a sudden, while Morris was standing by thinking what to do next, the tooth broke with a report like a pistol, and the mule's foot flew back against Morris' shin bone and broke it all to pieces. He was down in bed for three months and goes on crutches now. Such is a mule. He has no pride of ances try, but he lives long and happy. Bill Arp, Afterthoughts. It is the things we do not do that makes us weary of life. Hardly anybody is as sure of him self as he would have people believe Sometimes when we are most puffed up over our shadow we are standing in our own light. A sanguine disposition is one that can continue to hope for something which it knows won't happen. Whether a man is a crank or ec centric depends much on his import ance as a part of the social machine When a man becomes possessed of the idea that bo is a philosopher, it is pretty hard to get him to listen to advice. mm A Word to Mothers. Mothers of children affected with croup or a severe cold need not hesitate to administer Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It cotains no opiate nor nar cotic in any form and may be given as confidently to the babe as to an adult. The great success that has attended its use in the treatment of colds and croup has won for it the approval and praise it lijia received throughout the United Sin tps and in many foreign lands.

Washington-, Sept. 19, 1899. The capitalists who were trying to get Mr. McKinley to mix this government up in the affairs of Santo Domingo have withdrawn the pres sure, because they now believe that their man, Jiminez, who is already at the head of the provisional gov ernment, will be peaceably elected President by the people of Santo Domingo, and their business inter ests over there will be taken care of by him, without the direct assistance of this government. Private advices from Santo Domingo say that United States consular officials are quietly aiding Jiminez all they can. If that be true, they have received a tip from Washington, as otherwise they would not dare to do such a thing. The sodden discovery, by the ad ministration, that Porto Rico needs a civil government and the announce ment that it is to be given one in advance of Congressional action, is intended more to delay the establish ment of a permanent government on the islnnd by Congress than for the benefit of the Porto Ricaos. Inas much as the proposed civil govern ment is to be entirely appointive from the top the bottom, and that its every act must be approved in Washington before becoming effect ive, it is a rather wide stretch of the imaginatiod to call it "home rule" for Porto Rico, as the administra tion shouters are doing. A republi can Senator who is classed as an administration man, although his friends know that he is rather in clined to oppose than to support anything leading towards imperial ism, said of this new Porto Rican scheme: "I bel'eve that it is the first step towards influencing Con gress to defer establishing a perma nent form of government for Porto Rico until after the Presidential election. Once this President-made government is in operation, plausible arguments can be presented to wait a yoar and see how it works, in order to get the benefit of the experience, before providing for a permanent government." A New York newspaper man Mr. II. C. Green who was in Washing ton last week, said of the democratic outlook : "The New York delega tion to the Democratic National Convention will be unanimous for W. J. Bryan. His popularity with the rank and file of Tammany was too great to be opposed by Mr. Croker, even if he had been disposed to antagonize the Nebraskan. But Mr. Croker is for Bryan heartily, and being a far-seeing politician, he recognizes that Bryan as a Presi dential candidate is by no means a forlorn hope. Thousands of patriotic Americans who do not agree with him on the financial question regard the imperialistic policy of this ad ministration as fraught with more danger to the republic than free silver. There are other thousands who will oppose the republican ticket because its leaders are allied with the rapacious trusts, and because they feel that the only hope of relief from their tyranny lies in the tri umph of the democracy." One witness before the Industrial Commission, and the last that will be heard on the subject of trusts until next month, did not mince matters in suggesting a remedy for trusts. That was Mr. Lewis Emery, formerly a Pennsylvania State Sena tor and now connected with the Pure Oil Co. He testified that the railroads and other transportation lines helped the Standard Oil trust by giving them lower rates than they did their competitors, and said em phatically : "I am an absolute be liever in government ownership of all transportation facilities, especial ly railroads. If the railroads and waterways could be put under gov ernment control the whole difficulty would end. If you would make an example of these men who are dis criminating in their rates, and put them behind the bars, it would be well." The last witnesses heard by the Commission were T. V. Powder- ly, Commissioner of Immigration, who talked about immigration, and Samuel Gompers, who told about labor matters as he knows them from his position as President of the American Federation of Labor. One of the most disgraceful things connected with the war in the Phil ippines was the detention, last week, at Hong Kong, by British officials, of a steamship on the way from Manila to San Francisco, with United States troops. The steamship is one of those carrying the British flag which are under charter as troop ships, and the cause of her detention was that she had 400 more men aboard than she should have bad. The answer .to this charge by the War Department and by Otis was that she had only one more aboard on the return trip than she carried from San Francisco. In other words, the British officials at Hong Kong are more considerate of the welfare of our soldiers than our own officials at San Francisco and Manila, who allowed this ship to take on 400 more men than she is allowed by the British maritime law to carry, were. Surely that is enough to bring blushes of shame to any American's face, un less he is past being ashamed of offi cial incompetency and negligence. ALL OVER THE STATE.

Flynn, near Madison, attempted to commit sui cide in Rockingham jail. He used a pocket knife and gashed his throat. Not succeeding in this attempt to end his existence, he used the same weapon in stabbing himself in the breast, but the knife blade was too short, and both efforts were unsuc cessful. When asked why he tried to kill himself, he said he thought a mob was trying to get in to lynch him. The Fayetteville Observer says: Henry Bullard, one of Cumberland county's most prominent young far mers. had a narrow escape from death at the bands of assassins Tues day night. About 8 o'clock while on his way home from Vander, and about a mile and a half from that place, he was fired at from one of the loneliest and darkest spots on the road, and two loads of shot whistled all around him, but fortunately not one shot took effect.
