PfcOi!o sometimes xp'.ct uicuical men to do strange thing. A i.i-f.-fessif.nal cor respoiKl'Tit hriri a Lyly patient who ha.s consulted him about lif-r Lair, which we are toM in "turning gray f:IovIy, hot surely." I'robahly it will Ik; annietl that u good iiair dye wouM wrvo her t.urn, hut it is just the .thtr way. The lady nduiin-H pray hair, and what the wants is to know how she can hasten the change. As the correspondent nigno him self "Senex"' ho is presumably a person of some profs;ssional experience; hut the request seems to have staggered him a little, for he is fain to ask whether his professional brethren can help him out of the difficulty. People's hair, if we may trust the Prisoner of Chillon, has been known to grow whito in a tingle night, but that has been through "sudden fears," and probably thj lady would not care to he terrified into white hx-ks. Mavie Antoi nette's hair became white.it i:s recorded, during her stay in the state prison in PariSj and she, we snset, is in some degreo responsible for tlio romantic as sociations of gray hair, but that again is hardly a practical remedy. Home milder form of worry and vexation might be tried. What if the lady wrote a blank verso tragedy and tried to get it accepted by a London manager? London News. I'hniincey M. Depcw'a Left Foot. A New Yorker who has had tho good fortune to hear many of tho public ad dresses of Channcey M. Depew, and who has closely observed his ways, thinks the great orator's left leg is responsible for much of hi:i success. "I've reached the conclusion," the New Yorker says, "that he grinds his speeches out of his left leg. Just as soon as Mr. Depew sits down he will cross the left foot over tho right knee and begin to wiggle it. He puts it through all tho gestures of an orator, bows to tho audience, moves it to the right and left and then swings it vigor ously. Ho watches it all the time in tently, and seems to bo conversing with It. If you ask him a question then he won't answer you, for ten chances to one he doesn't hear you. He is getting his inspiration, and he's drawing it from his left foot. I tell you, if it was cut off I don't believe ho could say a word. Here's to Chauncey's agile and gifted left leg. May it long be left." Ex change. Why l'ranre I Wealthy. The aggregated wealth of 00,000,000 poor, degraded, barefooted peasants makes France rich. The ignorance of tho French farmer is appalling. I never saw a ev.spaier in a French farm village. Their wants are no more than tho wants of a horse. The Frenchman eats the coarsest food; about the same as he feeds his horse. lie will eat coarse bread and wino for breakfast; soup, bread and wine for dinner, and perhaps bread and milk for supper; he does not know what coffee or tea is. The negroes of the south live like kings compared to a French farmer. Still the Fivncliuian is satisfied, because he knows no better. The government takes .the money of the poor up to 1,000 francs and gives them Si per cent, for its use. The peasant fanners of France have nearly $800,000, 000 on deposit in theso savings hanks. These poor, degraded, half fed farmers keep the French treasury full of money. Paris Cor. New York Herald. Trofessor Huxley's Aim. Replying to the president of the Lin naxin society in acknowledgment of the Limacan medal, Professor Huxley gives an interesting bit of autobiography. The aim of his life, he said, had been, in the words of the society's motto, "naturae discero mores." "I have endeavored to show the fundamental unity of plant life and animal life, to make "use of hy potheses as ladders and scaffoldings to be discarded, ierhaps somewhat ungrate fully, when no longer of use, and to pur sue tho truth, regardless of incidental consequences." From all which it is evi dent that Professor Huxley never would have succeeded in English politics. New Orleans Pieavune. Something McCraney Flowed lp. Mr. J ohu McCraney, living near Kings ton, Ga.. has found a most wonderful stone. While plowing on a sandbar in the Etowah river he saw something shin ing with the most brilliant of lights just to one side of him. He stopped his plow and went to pick it up. It was a clear, white stone the size of an egg, reflecting In one way all the colors of the rainbow. Turning it over the colors took on the character of a spirit level, following each other up through the center of the rock till all were gathered in one end. Mr. McCraney has been offered $1,000 for it, but refused it. It emits a perfect ly white light in the dark. Atlanta Constitution. A Sensible Mother.

Information that the Farmers' Al liance of North Carolina, as a body, will not antagonize Senator Yacce on account of his position upon the sub treasury plan, is gratifying. It would be more gratifying should the Farmers' Alliance listen to him on that plan, and as a body support him as a brave, unswerving Democrat, opposed to the enemies of the farmers the Republi can party. Richmond Times. Pimples, blotches, scaly skin, uglvspots, sores and ulcers, abscesses and tumors, un healthy discharges, such as catarrh, eczema ring worm, and other forms of skin diseases, are symptoms of blood impurity.

"See this?" said the foreman of a big job printing establishment to a reporter. "Yes," was the reply. "What U the machine doing?" "Printing and numbering railroad tickets," said the gentleman. "Railroad tickets?" "Yes, sir." "Tell me how it's done," said the scribe. "Certainly. You must bear in mind, however, that this class of printing i3 purely a specialty, and only about two out of the various printing establish ments in this city are prepared to do the work. In fact the work cannot well be done with the ordinary rrinting presses. But let's see how it's done. "Yery often a special kind of card board is used in printing the tickets, though the ordinary kind is usually serviceable. All colors are used, and many times several impressions are nec essary to turn out a complete ticket ready for stamping and selling. Let's take an ordinary coupon ticket. It gen erally consists of several parts that may bo detached. Well, the reading matter, such a3 the special directions to the con ductor, agent or passenger, is usually printed on an ordinary press, just as any other class of printing is done. If there are several colors on a ticket so many impressions are necessary. That's all there is in it." "How about the numbers?" "Oh, that's tho difficult part of it. We'll explain later on. Excursion tick ets, usually in the form of 'coupon' tick ets, are printed in the same way. But see this? Here's the peculiar part of the work. Tho printing and numbering of local, or what are called 'car tickets,' by this machine is a unique process. The cardboard is cut into pieces just the size of the ticket desired, then they axe placed in one end of the machine and pass to the press automatically. Sup pose we are printing 'round trip' tickets. The bits of pasteboard, when the little machine begins to work, pass one by one under the press, the 'form being made up in sections. The first impres sion prints the number, the 'form' rises instantly, descending again and printing the ticket. Again the 'form rises and descends, while the ticket is pushed along just its length, when another im pression of the 'form' stamps the number on the other end of the ticket. "You see the tickets must be number ed consecutively, sometimes both the 'go ing' and 'returning' ends having the same number, while quite as often the two ends have different numbers, for rea sons best known to the railroad com pany. Again, the two ends of the 'car ticket' may be in different colors, or possibly each in two colors, with a dif ferent color running across the face of the entire ticket. In such instances the process of printing becomes very in tricate, but still the little machine does it at the rate of 10,000 an hour, or 40, 000 if necessary. The numbering is done at each end of the machine, the 'forms' being cylindrical in shape and pointing consecutively from one upward until a largo number is reached, when new 'forms' are put in. Bits of pasteboard go in at one end of the machine and come out at the other end complete 'car' or local tickets, good both 'going and 'coming.' Tho printing of single trip tickets is a more simple matter. This machine prints but one size of tickets, hence everything printed by it is of the same shape Jind size." "How abGut the printing of 'books,' 'commuters' and so on?" "Well, a special machine is used in printing books, tho work being done in sections that is, the separate 'leaves' of tho 'books' are printed in one sheet, which is afterward cut in smaller pieces, and the numbers are put on by a sep arate machine. Take a 'thousand mile' advertising ticket, for instance. The consecutive miles must be numbered on the little sections of the 'leaves' of the book. The number of the book, the name or initials of the road and some other necessary details have to be print ed. All but the number of the book is generally printed at one impression, and hundreds of books may be printed from tlfb same 'form.' But each book must bear a different number, so a different form is required. The big sheet is cut up into pieces, and the book numbers printed on a machine especially adapted J j 1 1 . ... to it, ana tnese sneets are cut into Email er ones and the book bound as any other DOOK. "What does it cost to make such a book?" "About ten cents when many of the same kind are made. To get out a sin gle book would cost from $30 to 75. Cincinnati Times-Star. X Kvldence to tho Contrary. A young Catholic priest, shortly after beginning lus labors m his first parish, received a visit from one of the older fathers. Anxious to show the progress lie had made he called up a class in cate chism for questioning. "Uiddy Maloney," he began, "stand up." A slip of a girl, with blue eyes and brown freckles, arose in her place. "What, Biddy," said the young father, "is meant by the howly state of matri mony?" "Shure," began Biddy glibly, 'tis a sayson of tormint upon which the soul inters to fit it fer the blissid state to come." "Och!" cried the questioner, angry and mortified; "to the foot of the class wid ye, Biddy Maloney. It's the m'aning of purgatory ye're afther givin'." But here the old priest interposed with a quizzical smile. "Not too fast, me young brother," he said restrainingly "not too fast. Fer aught you and I know to the conthrary the gurrul may -perfectly risht." Harper's Ma-razine. Coming Into Use Again. Safety chains between passenger cars are largely in use, and although proba bly one-third of such cars in this coun try are not yet so equipped, the tendency is toward their general use. Passenger cars will sometimes uncouple around curves and drawbars will sometimes break or pull out; hence precaution against the results of occurrences is ad visable. The Car Builders' association has properly undertaken to remedy the yreat differences of form and location of eafety chains now existing by agreeing tpon a standard, prescribing size and rensth of chain and hook. Railway Age. It has been lately observed that water purified as much as possible, and stand ing only a short time in contact with the air, showed next daj-a continuous de crease of conductivity, which gradually disappeared, giving place to the normal unavoidable increase.

A FEW OF THE -o- Henderson has three railroads and has just voted a subscription ot $40, 000 for another. It is on the main line of the Raleigh & Gaston, 44 miles North-east of Raleigh, and 53 miles South-west of Weldon. It is the ter minus of the Oxford & Henderson (a branch of the Richmond & Danville system) and the Durham & Northern. It has an excellent system of electric lights, a fire engine with an organized fire department and waterworks in process of construction. It has four large warehouses for the sale of leaf tobacco, in which upwards of 10,000,000 pounds of the leaf are sold annually. It has one smoking and two plug tobacco factories ; two immense stemming establishments; storage and inspection warehouse with capacity for 2,000 hogsheads; iron foundry and plow factory ; two sash, blind and door factories; planing mills; carriage and wagon works ; blacksmith shops ; wood-working establishments ; bakery and candy factory; harness factory ; boot and shoe shops ; tailoring establishments; two livery stables; cooper shops ; cotton gins ; brick yards; soda water and beer bottling establish ment; marble and granite works: -O- in Surrounded bv a rich win Henderson offers to the Merchant, the Manufacturer, the Banker, the Professional Man, the Farmer, the Laborer all that reason demands. ' The climate is mild and healthy, the winters short and not unusually severe. The summers are warm, but as a rule seldom oppressively so. The precipitation at this season of the year is about pro portionate with that of the spring and autumn. Protracted droughts accompanied by hot and sultry weather are exceptional. Storms and cyclones are unknown. The fall season is sufficiently long for the maturity of all crops. - s This is an inviting field for the agriculturist. All crops indiginous to this latitude grow and mature to perfection, and the prices realized for some grades of tobacco, which is the principal money crop, seem almost fabulous. Nature has done much for Vance county and woven in a wonderful manner many elements of beauty and grandeur.
