Doll maker la Garaiaar r - Harold lived In Oblo, add otipe, when be was still a littler boy, bis father and mother took blm to visit bla uncle, who lived by the seashore. Harold never before bad seen the ocean nor any body of water greater than the Mau- mee river, so the wide spreading bay was a source of great Interest to him, and be was uever tired of ploying on its sandy shore or of watching the waves roll lu and gently break at bis feet. The boats skimming Its surface were strange and Interesting, and be loved to watch them llylug hither and thither like great swans, whose only object was to gratify their desire for pleas ure. One day his father and mother, bis uncle and aunt and bis cousins went In bathing. The water was clear and warm, and they- lrad a flue time splash lng about and swimming; all but liar old. He preferred to play In a boat which by chance happened to be float lng in the shallow water. While the others were In the water and Harold was In the boat the tide was rising, rising so slowly that it was imperceptible until It was full. Then It began to run out again ebbing. It is called. When it was tliu6 to dress. Harold's father called hl:n. for Harold bad cn bis bathing suit. Cut the ebbing tide bad floated the boat quite away from the shore until It was held only by the long anchor rope. Harold seized the rope which held THE DAILY HE PRESS. ; W. S. HERBERT. Editor and Prop r. , Xntered at P. o. M-coDd class mull odhiut. A special from Norfolk, Va., says a! party of busiueas men will reach there this week, from Chicago, Indianapolis,! Detroit. Toledo, St. Louis and other western cities, for the purpose of making : arrangements for direct shipments ofi truck garden products to the west In-! stead of via Baltimore, New York and even Boston. The truckers of Kinston i for years have shipped a portion of their : products to western eities, and it might be a good idea for the truckers of this section to see if better facilities and lower freights cannot le secured for shipments from this section to the west. ai A dispatch from Havana, Cuba, says: A nuttiber of negroes have presented to j Senor Tnnmyo, secretary of the govern-j ment. a ietition to le submitted to Gov. j Gen. Wood asking that the latter issue a ; decree making illegal the use by newspa-: pers. official documents and police war-' rants of such terms as "mulatto," "col - ored," and "brown." which distinguish a j man by bis color. The petition asks that the papers and the authors of such docu-' ments shall be instructed to use the word , "citizen," It says: "The colored race has already proved Its value and capa-', bility and the continuance of the use of j such descriptive epithets only tends to perpetuate the barrier between the black and the white. So the negre in Cuba is causing trouble; wants to remove "the barrier between the black and white." In North Carolina j tue imt and began to pull himself to Pritchard. Butler & Co. are trying to dry laud. The boat was so small that accomplish the same object. , The FrkiT Press has received a new newspaper press. Our force has not : quite learned how to operate it yet so as to obtain the best results, therefore the print the last few days has not been , good. This trouble will soon le over- j come. It is a large press, capable of printing two 9-column pages or four 0-column pages. The daily will continue : five columns, but longer by about two ; inches, giving 40 inches increased space ' in the daily. The semi-weekly has been increased from seven to eight columns 1 and longer columns, giving 155 inches j more space each issue, or equivalent to ; about a page of the, 7-column size. We; intend to make still further improvements in Tins Fhek Pbehs, and trust that the j. people will give the paper increased ! patronage to justify same. A MEMORY OF BROOK FARM. Hawthorn In a Pillow F!ht With Two Girls. .1 do not recollect Hawthorne's talk ing much at the table, says Mrs. Oia Gannett Sedgwick in The Atlantic in "A Girl of Sixteen at Brook Farm." Indeed he was a very taciturn man. One day, tired of seeing blm sitting Immovable on the sofa In the hall, as I ' was learning some verses to recite at the evening class for recitation formed by Cbarles A. Dana, I daringly took my book, pushed It Into his hands and said, "Will you hear my poetry, Mr; Hawthorne?" He gave me a sidelong glance from bis very shy eyes, took the book and most kindly beard me. After that he was on the sofa every week to bear me recite. . He was one evening alone In the hall, sitting pri a chair at the farther end, when my roommate,' Ellen Slade, and myself were going up stairs. She whis pered to me, "Let s throw the s.ofa pil low at Mr. Hawthorne." Reaching over the banisters, we each took a cushion and threw it Quick as a flash he put but his Jiand, seized a broom that was hanging' near him, warded off our cushions and threw them back with' sure aim. As fast as we could throw thera at him he returned them with effect, hitting us every time, while we could hit only the broom. He must have been very quick In bis movements. Through It all not a word was spoken. ,We laughed and laughed, and his eyes shone and twinkled like stars with laaghter. Wonderful eyes they were and when anything witty was said 1 always looked quickly at Mr. Haw thorne, for-his dark eyes lighted up as If flamy were suddenly kindled be hind them, and then the smile cams down to his ilps. ' , We JUinghed merrily and went off to bed, vanquished, without a. word. 1 suppose Mr. Hawthorne's face mast have worn that wonderful smile, which always seemed suddenly kindled be hind, bis eyes, twinkled there for a second and then ran swiftly over his Intensely grave face. but tU- r:i...er and malhers of these fathers nod mothers made dolls, and so did the grandfathers and grand mothers.

' be did not find this hard work; but, by and by. he reached the end of the rope, where It was fastened to an anchor that bad been, laid on the ground while the tide was low, but which was now covered with water. "As soon as the boat floated over the anchor the boy lifted it from the ground. This was unexpected, and for a little while be didn't know what to do. But he pulled the anchor into the boat and prepared to go ashore. While he had been deliberating the strong tide had drifted the little boat so far from shore that he couldn't get out, and before he realized It he was drift ing out to sea. Fortunately be was discovered In time, and' his father' called to blm to sit still and wait until another boat could be procured to come to his res cue. So Harold sat down and waited. Ills father and uncle ran along the beach until they found another boat. while bis mother and aunt ran after tbem with oarS. But by this time liar- old had drifted a mile or more away The tide helped his father's boat also, and it was not a great while before Harold was overtaken and lifted Into the larger boat, and, with the run away a tow, they rowed ashore. It is a good thing to know that ah anchor is of more use in the water than In a boat when the boat wants to run away. It Js also a good thing to obey orders. Had Harold given way to fright or had attempted to help him' self there is no knowing what might have happened.

The . most , variegated bird in the world is the pitta bengalensls, which Js found in India and Ceylon and ih the plumage of which ho fewer than nine different colors are distinguishable and which in consequence has been called the nine colored pitta. - With its long legs, short tall and plump body It bears considerable resemblance to a thrush. Its colors are gay' and beautifully har monized. Its -powerful long beak is curved on top and Is generally held firmly closed. The , foot is widely spread, the middle toe very long. The wings are short and 'well rounded. The bird is a - light brown, with black stripes on the upper part of Its body. Tbe head and sides of Jtae ; neck are black, .while a white line passes over the .eyes, forming a kind of eyebrow, and the throat and part of the back are also, white. ; The. other parts tinder the body are a yellowish brown, with a greenish tinge. - The tall and nnder parts of the wings are bright scarlet The tops of the wings are a bluish green, while the long wing, feathers are a pale blue. . The tips of he shoub ders have spots of azure blue," and the pinions -are black. ; Their short wings do not permit olj any extended flight, and their long legs . show that much of their time is passed on the ground. They feed on different kinds of beetles, which they crush with their strong beaks. A specimen has lately been placed in the Berlin zoological garden, v - :., German DollmaVera. In Germany there are whole commu nities of people who make dolls, while families work all day at dollmaklng, each one having his own part to do. Not only do these families make dolls.

The dw thst Dante saw had this foserlp " rv....ni. f 1 a .it i: enter nere. wnen man despairs of nope he drains the very dregs of despair. There are certain forms of disease to which medical ignorance and popular su perstition have given the title of "Hope less." That very fact handicaps the suttcr ers from such diseases by robbing them of the courage to try to regain health. This is particularly true of lung diseases. As soon as disease fastens on the lungs, the victim sits down, makes liia will, and awaits his fate. He wouldn't act that way if he were bitten by a taran tula or a - rattle snake. He'd fight then for his life. But he is under the. influence of the ig norant and super- stitious, that write " Despair of hope " over the door of such diseases as by neglect or unskill ful treatment may end fatally in con fiumption. There is a new in scription for that doorway of disease, made by rubbing out the first two words and leaving . - it: nope ail ye who enter here." What! Can there be hope for the sufferer with the constant cough, flushed face, burdened breathincr end emaciated body? The record says " yes.
