Sonuerbo township touches the boundaries of Halland there Is a sandy heath which is so farreaching that lie who Btands upon one edge of It cannot look across to the other. Nothing except heather grows on the heath, and it wouldn't be easy to coax other growths to thrive there. To start with, one would have to uproot the heather, for it is thus with heather: Although it has only a little shrunken root, small shrunken branches and dry, shrunken leaves, it fancies that ifs a tree. Therefore it acts just like real trees—spreads itself out 'n forest fashion over wide areas, hrfds together faithfully and causes all foreign growths that wish to crowd in upon its territory to die out—"Adventures of Nils," Translated From the Swedish of Selma Lagerlof by Velma Swan ston Howard.

Health Regulations for the City Schools. In order to prevent the spread of contagious diseases in the schools the following regulations will be strictly enforced. Persons affected with diphthe ria, measles, scarlet fever, mumps, small pox, whooping cough, chicken p">x. (sore eyes,) or other contagious diseases will be excluded from school until of ficial permission to return is given by the superintendent upon pro per certificate of complete con valesence from attending pnys ician. Persons living in the family or house in which there is a case of such disease will be excluded from school until the attending physi cian certifies that all danger of contagion has passed. Persons exposed to any of the ' se diseases will be excluded from ; school until the period for con | tracting the disease has passed. For diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, chicken pox, and mumps fourteen days must elapse after exposure before the pupil may return to school. For whooping cofigh and small-pox twenty-one days must elapse. In case there should be an out break of small-pox within the city, all pupils attending the city schools must be vaccinated at once unless they have been sue cessfully vaccinated. Any pupil who shows symp toms of any contagious disease while at school will be promptly dismissed to await developments. The School authorities wish to exercise all needful care and pre caution to prevent any epidemic from spreading through che schools and interfering with the work. It is belived that any epidemic may be arrested if all the parents will co-operate in promptly isolating those children who have been exposed to such contagious diseases. Chas. M. Staley, Supt. Railroad Meeting. The Watauga Railway Co., met at Blowing Rock, Tuesday. Mr. F. A. Linney the President, be ing absent, Dr. Little acted as president. The committee re pcrted as follows: Mr. Cone read a letter from Barber, presi dent and owner of the Caldwell and Northern, but it did not ap pear so favorable. Jno. Barnhart who was to see the Yadkin Lum ber Co., made a short statement and introduced Mr. Grendall, of Pa., who he said was a man of large affairs, Mr, Grendall said he had no proposition to make, but if he bought the lands of the Yadkin Lumber Co., on the south side of the Blue Ridge, he would build a road from Lenoir to Wilkesboro and also run a line up Buffalo to Cook's Gap, near the Watauga line, then if the people would vote bonds in our county, he would push the road through the county, or at least, to the center of it. This was considered encouraging news. Capt Jones, of Lenoir, represent ing the Yadkin Lumber Co., in N. C., said he was confident the deal between his Company and Mr. Grendall would be made. Now, if all this be true, Wat auga will yet be line for a road. We have no doubt but that the people of this good old county will vote bonds on any reasonable proposition for.a road to the cen ter of county. It must be a broad gauge and a first class road. The Winds of the World. Apart from the winds of regular habit there are the many local winds which occur in different parts of the world and are generally unkind In character. Of such may be mentioned the monsoon, simoom, sirocco, harmat tan, the puna of Peru, the bitter north easter of Britain, the mistral of Mar seilles and that coast, the rampero of the Andes. With all these local breezes, though, in fact they are oftentimes gales of some velocity, many curious effects are coupled, and one of the most noticeable of these is that the blowing of the genuine nor'easter at home is always coincident with the greatest number of deaths from consumption and brain disease.

But back In 1854 things were different. One of the official examiners of subtreasuries at that time was one Gourge, and he tells us in one of his reports that the subtreasary at Jeffersonvilie. Ind., in that year was in a tavern adjoining a barroom and connected with it by a door with glass lights. The purpose of the glass was to make easy for the assistant treasurer when in the bar room to keep au eye on his office. This office consisted of two rooms, and the public got in through a back passage under a stairway. The gold was kept in an iron safe and the sil ver in wooden boxes. The assistant treasurer, armed, slept in one of the rooms. That was in 18641—Metropoli tan Magazine. FOLEYSnONET^TAR for chlidrmnt safe, mure. No opiate* In 776 B.

The Fat Man Who Was a Model of Patience and Perseverance. • Persistence in nndertaklng Is a laud able virtue, but it can be a bit over done sometimes, as In. a case described by Y. L. Molloy in "Our Autumn Holi day on French Rivers." Mr. Molloy and his friends, longing for a good dive, went to a swimming school on an Island in the Seine. They donned their rented costumes and were preparing for the plunge when a man with ropes came along and Insisted on tying them about their waists. It was according to police regulations, and, although they made an Indignant protest, they were obliged to submit While we were dressing, says Mr. Molloy, we asked the two swimming masters for au extra towel. "Pardon," they replied, "we must at tend to our monsieur." 1 Then we saw that there had come upon the platform a short and absurd ly fat man dressed in bathing costume, swimming sandals and oiled cap. "Let's see him go in," said we. "What a splash he'll makel" The swimming masters received the new arrival at the middle of the plat form. There be balanced himself on his stomach on a wooden stump two/ feet high. The masters him by Uls hands and feet and v\ Ith slow and deliberate movements made him strike out with the action of swimming. They kept this up for a quarter of an hour, and the perspiration rolled off him in great drops. "He'll be awfully hot to go Into the water after that," said I. But he did not go into the water. The swimming lesson over, he moved to ward the dressing room, saying: "I have done better today." "Ah, yes," answered one of the mas ters. "Your progress is admirable." The fat man beamed with complai sance and went In to dress. I called the swimming masters aside. "Does 'our monsieur' practice often like that? He must have great perse verance." ■ 'Perseverance! He has worked like this for five years, and he has never been In the water!" SIGN OF A BEATEN MAN. Runner Who Looks Behind Almost Bure to Lose the Raco. "There are many more good distance runners now than In my days," said an old time champion after watching a three mile scratch race at the New York Athletic clnb games. "But the habits of the runners have not changed any, for I noticed one little trick in the race that bore the significance that used to attach to it "To the casual onlooker there was nothing to choose between the two leaders when they were beginning the last quarter of a mile. Right from the crack of the pistol they were running almost stride for stride with the low, j graceful, easy action of the real long distance runner. "Neither had called Into use the re serve power which must be utilized in the final sprint for victory when they turned into the stretch for the final Jap. Then one of them slightly turned his bead to see where the third man was. " 'That man Is beaten,' was the thought which occurred to me at once, and it proved true, as always, for when the dash for the finish began he allow ed his rival to get a lead of five yards before going after him in earnest pur suit "From that point to the finish there was no perceptible difference in the speed of the men, but the man who had turned bis head to make sure that he would get second place, instead of bending every energy to win, of course landed where his thoughts placed him."—New York Sun.

He was seven feet six inches high and in 1845 weighed 871 pounds. He was born in 1798 and died in Tennessee Jan. 23, 1857. Until 1853 he was able to go ibout his work in an active manner, but his weight increased So fast that lfter that year when he wonted to move about he had to be hauled in a two horse wagon. In 1839 it is chron icled that his coat was buttoned around three men, each weighing more than 200 pounds, who walked together in it down the streets in Lexington. At his death he is said to have weighed not 'ess than 4,000 pounds. His coffin was 8 feet long, 35 inches deep, 32 inches across the breast, 18 inches across the head and .14 inches across the feet. These measurements were taken at the time and are matters of historical I record.
