The country doctor was a surgeon as well as a physician. He was almost always clever and usually had remedies of his own invention for common ailments. " A large number of the successful patent medicines, how before : the" public are prescriptions of the old time country physician. I could name a dozen such. "Old Dr. mil, who was the leader in the town I grew bp in, was called Into the country by an urgent message one night.; . .He wasn't advised what; the patient was suffering from and upon arrival found it was an ulcerated tooth that was suhjectlng Its-owner; to al most unbearable pain. Not a surgical Instrument did the, doctor have with him, and his office .was seven miles rway.SDld, he send back for-his in struments? Not much! s He extracted that tooth with : an ordinary hammer and nail to the complete satisfaction of his putlent and himself. I'll wager he made a mighty good Job, of it. too. New York Tribune.

THERE IS A VAST INFERENCE TWEEN THESE TWO ACTS. BE- It la Important to Cultivate the Few er of Observation EVen In Ordinary ThlnKs - A Faculty Possessed by All, bnt Developed by Few. It Is the hope and desire of all par ents that their children shall make some sort of a mark in the world when . they grow up. They, do not In the ma jority of cases expect that their off spring will become famous and make names that will live f0r ages, but they cherish the thought that they will be successful men and women In some profession or business. That is the keynote, that success shall be their portion. ' ';l Tet it is a fact thai most parents neglect or pay very little attention to one part of the child's education which is of the highest Importance. They do not train the perceptive, faculties. Power of observation will help you more than anything else In your strug gle for existence, and yet there are comparatively few people who are keen observers. One small fact will prflve this latter statement. The man who observes everything, he who sees everything he looks at, is singled out either as an inquisitive person or a clever one, and this shows that he Is an exception. It is easy to give Instances of this lack of perception even In the ordinary things of life. Some years ago an art ist engaged in a London flrBPbf print ers had to draw an advertisement in which the central ngure was a cock m the act of crowing. Sfothing seemed easier, but when he :..bb$ to work - the artist found himself confronted by a difficulty does "the dock show its tongue prominently when it crows?" Every one of the hundred men employ ed by the:flnn had seti-a cock-crow scores of times, yet not one of could answer the question. The had to go to a friend who kept fowls and chase the poor rooster round and round the yard until It crowed. A schoolmaster, wishing to test the perception of his boys, asked them bow many times they had seen' a cow or pictures of that animal and found,- as he had expected, that all the boys had Been the creature more times than they could remember. Then he offered to give small prizes to the boys who could correctly answer this question, "Are a cow's ears above, below, In front of or behind Its horns?" Only two boys gained prizes, and theirs was guess work. Now sit down hd test yourself In some such simple manner. Tou have all seen a horse "down." Can you de scribe how it rises? . Does It get up on its fore feet first and then on its bind feet or does it kneel first, then get on Its hind feet and finally on its fore feet? . x However, you need not confine your. self to the animal kingdom in' testing your perceptive faculties. Many sub jects will'suggest themselves to you on reflection. ' As an excuse for this want of obser vation it is often urged that "a man can't know everything," but the excuse is a-bad one. There is a great differ ence between knowing little or nothing and knowing everything. When the faculty has been trained, it requires ho more effort, to note the points of the object looked at than it does to glance at that same object and come away none the wiser. .". .". The chances of success In life are on the side of the man who knows cer tain things ; because .he has learned about them by using his senses Instead of having to go to a book for all that he wishes to know. Books are indis pensable, as there are so many things which cannot come within the range of our observation; but, wherever possi ble, we should use' our senses to ac quire knowledge at first hand. ' V This will explain why men who can not read or write have built up sub stantial 'businesses. They, have made AUGUST FLOWER. ; It is a surprising fact" says Prof. Uouten, "that in my travels in all parts of the world for the last ten years; I have met more people, having used Green's August Flower than any other remedy fordyepepsia. deranged liver and stomach and for constipation. I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feflicgs from irregular habits exist, that Green's August Flower is a grand remedy. It does not injure the tjsteia by frequent ue. and is excellent for sour etomach aid iDi?trr-st:on." Satnj le bot tle frf-o at Terrple-Mareton drag e tore. hoi ! Ly c-'iiitTS in sjI cmuzed counir.s use of the power possessed by all. but cultivated by very few. . The perceptive faculty must be train ed during childhood and youth. After the completion of the twentieth year very little progress can be made. A grown man is unable to develop his powers of. observation to any satisfac tory degree. Youth Is full of energy, and that is the time to Inculcate the lesson that we should see nil that our eyes rest upon. It should be the object of every par ent to teach his child to note, every ob ject that comes in his way. When ut for a walk in a park, the child should be told to observe the shapes -ef the leaves on the different trees, the paling of the color of animals toward the un der part of the body and so on and should be told that when asked a ques tion on the subject he must be prepar ed to say that it Is so. not that he thinks It "is. AP children have Inquiring minds, and after a walk or two, coupled with such instruction as we have lmMition ed. you will find the child making trveat progress and acquiring a quality that will be invaluable to him in after life. One of tho methods ndopted by Ilou dln, the conjurer, for quickening the perception of his son was to make him walk rapidly past a shop window or n stall on "which a number of articles were displayed and then write down a list of the objects noticed. At firs! only half a dozen articles were perceived during the moment occupied Jn passing the store or window, but after having done it once a day for a month the boy was able-to make a list of 40 objects. Pearson's Weekly. The Lady and tbe Cobra. An English woman residing in India one evening found to ber horror that a huge cobra bad qpiled itself about her veranda rails, near which she sat play ing the violin. She was too near the snake to run with safety, so she contin ued playing while she gradually edged away. , At first her only . Idea was to keep the creature thus engaged while she escaped, but when she had gained a safer distance and perhaps fascinat ed by the unwonted sight a strange in spiration seized her. She played air after air of different characters. The effect was magical. That snake behaved like an ardent bot blooded disciple of Paganinl. Every variation in the music, whether of volume f or of tone, produced instantly a correspond ing change in the attitude of the cobra.' If she played a lively dance. It swayed its body sideways in quick time and yet in graceful curves. Once she struck a number of false notes in rapid suc cession on purpose. The cobra winced and 'writhed in pain as If suddenly struck with a whip. ' Thus the creature behaved like a mad musician till , the - lady, getting tired of the sport, gradually worked herself farther and farther and then made a sudden bolt into her room and banged the door, leaving the cobra to wander disconsolate to its lair in tho fields. .. '.. Wbat'a In Name? Although the present fashion of chris tening children with family surnames Is much to be commended -for. many reasons,' it carries with It some awful possibilities unknown In the days of Mary Anns and .John Henrys. , A glance at tbe following list, each name of which is genuine, will illustrate suf ficiently well the possibilities of no menclature resting with parents In their choice of names for the men and tubmen of tomorrow: . ; Edna : Broker Mothershead, .

Life. -- ,;. Am Essay Habit. :.- A schoolmaster once said to his pu pils that to the boy. who would make the best piece of composition In Hve minutes on "How to Overcome "Habit he would give a prize. When the five minutes had expired, a lad of 9 years stood up and said: VWelL sir, habit Is hard to overcome.' If you take off the first letter. It does not change abit. If yon take off another, you still have a tit left If you take off still another, the whole of 'If remains. . If you take off another, it Is not totally used up, all of which goes to show that If you want to get rid of a habit you must throw it off a'together." Result he won It STATE HEWS. Interesting North Carolina Item In Condensed Form. At a meeting of the Southern Hosiery Yarn Spinners' association at Charlotte a rise in price was adopted. Miss Gertrude Harp, aged about 16, who ran away from Durham ten days ago, was caught in West Raleigh on Monday. She had on her father's clothes. Her mind is said to be not entirely sound. The nine-year-old daughter of George Harrison, colored, was burned to death Wednesday near Charlotte while her par ents were absent. Tbe house was burned to the ground with the child. It seems that nobody knew of the terrible affair until it was all over. Ihe GattiH-Kilgo case will come up for trial in Granville superior court next week. Iter.

Walser has not yet given his resignation to the governor, but be announces that he will do so before tbe week is at an end. : Mr. Douglass is a recent graduate in law. He is a well equipped attorney . and his friends say he has a bright fu ture before him. The appointment , is only for two months. The attorney general-elect, Hon. R. D. Gilmer, will assume the duties of his office 'about the middle of January. The youngjoan Tart, who caused the wreck on tb Mi&atie , Coast Line near Hope Mills, has not yet been captured. George Lovett, held as a State witness, is the man to whom Tart confessed the deed. According to Lovett, Tart said that he placed the spike upon the track to see the wheels cut it in' two he bad no idea that such fearful results would follow, Horror-stricken at ' the conse quences of his deed be then fled from tbe epoi. Lovett says Tart told him he meant to kill himself.. . This caused the dragging and dynamiting of the pond near tbe scene , of ; the : deed, it being thought that Tart might have drowned himself therein.- But no body was fpt.nd In the pond.
