Moreover, the blinders are usually set at an angle, so that as a result of the law of reflection rays of light concentrated by the con vex surface are reflected Into the eyes, not directly in the axis of vision, but more or less transversely or obliquely. the result being even more Injurious. As a result of this reflection the vision la weakened If not destroyed. Moreover, the mlrrorliko blinders not only reflect sunlight, but they reflect objects as well, so that a "blinded horse sees not only objects directly ahead of him, but has a more or less blurred vision of other objects, Inter mixing with and confnslng the Image of objects directly before him,' and as a consequence he Is rendered uncertain In bis movements and U easily scared.

T. m ( . t V GRAVEYARD MISTAKES. Notes From Sermon Last Sunday, 8 p. m., by Rev. D. H. Tuttle, .There are small mistakes that need hardly to be mentioned' such as : those made in location, iu measures, misspel ling in epitaphs, wrong dates, etc, There is danger of making very serious and ir revocable mistakes in connection with onr graveyards. "Some of these we point out that they may be guarded against. 1st mistake. Don t be in too great baste to get your dead to tbe graveyard. Some have been buried alive. Yon can't remedy this mistake if you find that it was made. , , 2d mistake. Do not be in a hurry to get to your grave. You are a free agent, and therefore can so conduct yourself as to get to the graveyard soon ' or late, Suicide is a "lightning express."- Don't take that route. Eccl. 7:9. "Be not over much wicked, neither be thou fool ieh: why ebouldest thou die . before thy time' "Whatsoever thy hand flndeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou Koest." Eccl. 9:10. 3rd mistake. Failure to pay for clothes ana cotnns that the dead are , buried in, and for tombstones that mark their graves. trruveyards are located on i the dividing ling betwixt time and eternity, and graves are the doors that open into eternity. Yet in spite of all this some are so dishonest all along life that death debts like all others, are left unpaid. These words do not apply to some, hon est people who would pay if they could. 4th mistake. vs i rutting too many flow ers on the graves, and too few flowers in tbe lire pathway of people. On the grave they wilt and die unknown to the silent dead, but given to those whose lives are Bhadowed with care, or to the "weary passer-by," or in tbe homes of the poor and lowly, they become proof of living fellow sympathy; recall deoartinir hoDe: I)utthe sunshine of cheerfulness on tbe ace, and till with fragrance life's future prospect. Home bave .. pat : flowers on the graves of people great wreathes who had never jriven as mueh as a little lily or violet to them while living. Let me have a chance at your flowers while I live; tind old mother earth will do her best for my grave. 6th mistake. Motto burr the faults and failures of the dead with them. Keep nothing out oi their irrares that In their lives was unprofitable to humanity. Whatever good there was in the life let us give that a place in ours, and thus perpetuate the good in the world while we bury the bad. , . 6th mistake. Graveyard idolatry. - Too many people make the graves of departed loved ones an altar of continued worshiD. This because they loved the creature more than the creator, and were not able to say at their death "Thy will be done. If we would be comforted in death's sor row we must in calm ' resignation to God's wilt leave our dead to the stave's sweet silence while we turn to the ser vices of Christ in softening and sweeten ing the sorrows of the living. 7tn mistake. ' There are monumental mistakes too much money frozen into cold memorial granite and! marble that might greatly bless the world were placed as a memorial loan fund "for the benefit of many poor bovs and eirls who desire to attend our colleges and univer - v . - sities. We have : known many simile monuments to cose an amount sufficient to build a neat church in a community where the people were too poor to build for themselves. " There are great differ ences in the condition of people outside of the graveyard, and we carry these dif- lerenees moiue ana memorialize mem in tbe difference we behold in the stones that mark their graves. Some people taite tneir money as iar as thev can spend all they can on and for themselves both outside and inside tbe irravevard Make of your money memorial monu ments in yourchurches, schools, and hos pitals for blessing tbe living. otb mistake. To try to make people gooa alter tney get in the graveyard. Too late. 8ee Rev. 22:11. Christian characters for tbe dead can't be cut into a tombstone; they are tbe result of habit ual obedience to (tod's holy laws, amid uie's trials, temptations and duties, "Asleep in Jesus" is a lie cuton the tomb stones of some people even church mem bers. . 9th mistake. A verv jrreat mistake to think that man's destiny ends in asrrave- yard. Our real being is not visible; but unseen, spiritual. Immortal. Tbe real man can hide himself behind his outward actions, or outtpoxen words, such a being will live forever in a spirit world into which tbe grave is but an entrance way. There are two destinies beyond tbe grave; by unbelief and neglect you will iret tbe worst: by faith, obedience and preparation you find tbe beet. "Pre pare to meet tby God." Heb. 9:27.

Th child is in a critical condition. Tbe brutal boy has escaped but efforts are being made to apprehend tbe scoundrel. Charles Berry, an expert sawyer and filer, was instantly killed at the Elm City Lumber company's mill at ,. Newbern Thursday afternoon. Berry was sawing and left his lever unlocked and stepped on the truck in front of the carriage. The Jar of the machinery threw the lever over and the long carriage, with its powerful steam feed, started down the track, catching the man and carrying him to the end of the mill, where he was terribly crushed between the heavy log-carriage ana tne Dumper oi neavy timbers. Berry was unmarried and came from Washing ton, N. C, where his parente live. He , was a young man and was bhrhlv re. spec ted In the community. Asheville Citiien: Only a few davs aco Ben, M. Collins, keeper of theSwannanoa lodge on the Biltmore estate, while going about his work on tbe big farm discov ered what at once struck him as being the longest snake he had ever seen, heard -or read about. More than this, its color did not mate exactly. Mr. Collins knows snakes when he sees them, but in this in stance he rubbed his eyes and looked again to be sure that he was making no mistake. Tbe second look only confirm ed him in his belief and be proceeded to make it bot for the snake. When the reptile had been dispatched Mr. Collins made a closer inspection, and was startled to find that what be supposed was one snake was really two. The rep tile, one a king snake and the other a black, had evidently enirasred in a battle to tbe death. The king sprang at the black, which received it with onen montb, in which it landed fairly. The black was by luck mven the tinner hand. reversing the usual order of thintrs in such battles, and began the task of swallowinor its enemy. It had partially succeed, when Mr. Collins appeared and put an end to tbe struggle. When killed the king snake's head was fitted in the black's mouth as tisrbtly as a lady's hand in a new glove.
