' 30 Lafayett PlacevNewYork THE REVENUE ACT. Proceedings Will be Ccnfmcnced in Rowan County to Declara tha Act a Nullity. Chatting with a News and Ob- erver reporter, Mr. Theo. F. Klnttz said: "My attention was first ralW to t he matter by the pamphlet copy of the revenue and machinprv art.s j sent out by the State Treasurer, in- which they were printed as separate acts, the machinery act having a clause of ratification and the rev enue act having no such clause. Upon inquiry at the office of the Secretary of State, I found that the revenue act had not been ratified, but that the machinery act had. found further that the Public Printer in printing the Laws of 1895 had printed the revenue act as chap ter 116, and had added the following words: "Ratified the 12th dav of March, 1895." . Following this was chapter 117 in regard to mortgages and chapter 118, an act repealing some act heretofore passed. Then came chapter 119, the machinery act, which at its close had the words of the ratification. "At the August term of Rowan Supeiior Coflrt proceedings will be commenced to test the question as to whether the revenue act as printed in the Laws is really a law." There seems no doubt that the printed words, "Ratified the 12th day of March, 1895," were pnt in the printed copy by the Public Printer without authority. Secretary of State Coke tele graphed the Public Printer to know by what authority he had added the clause of ratification to the revenue act The explanations of the Pub lie Printer do not explain. He ad mits that the copy of the law which was furnished by the Secretary of State does not contain the ratifica tion of the Revenue Act. Since when did the Public Printer, have the right to ratify the laws ? Not in the Act. Secretary of State Coke has sent to the Public Printers at Winston, copy for a circular, which, with the gracious permission of J. C. and M. I. Stewart, he will issue to all those who have in their possession copies of the Public Laws of 1895. Ten thousand of these circulars have been ordered. It comes under the head of "Errata," and is an appendix to the laws. The circular states that the ratification of the Revenue Law in the Acts of 1895, chapter 116, is an error; that the bill has never been ratified. So, it appears, that the Stewarts, besides correcting proof with re markable accuracy, also remedy any mistakes of the recent General As sembly that may come under their observation. This ratifying clause was missing, but with careful fore sight, was kindly supplied by the gentle Stewarts. The Supreme Court holds that ratification makes the act. The Stewarts ratify acts, and are there fore Act-Makers to the State. News and Observer- What a Bachelor Thinks. Man that is married to woman is of many d.iys and is full of trouble.

HOME FIRST: Carolina, Wednesday Evening, July 17, 1895. : No. 48. FORCE EXERTED BY THE HUMAN JAWS. Dr. G. V. Black, a dentist of Jack sonville, Fla., has made some inter esting experiments upou the force exerted by the human jaws in the ordinary masticatn n of food; and also the greatest force which the;aws are capable of exerting. By means of a spring instrument provided with a" registering device he took records of about 150 "bites" of different ptrsons. Of these, fifty have been preserved as characteristic of the ordinary man, woman and child. The, smallest pressure , re corded was 30 pounds by a 'little girl seven years ojdv. This was with the incisors. The highest record? was made by a physician of thirty five. The instrument used only registered 270 pounds, and he simply closed it together without apparent effort. There was no method of de termining how far above 270 pounds he could have gone. This test was made with the molars. Several per sons exceeded a force of 100 pounds with the incisors and 200 with the molars. The physicial condition of the persons experimented upon seemed to have little bearing upon the result. ' Dr. Black i3 of the opinion that the condition of the peridental membranes is the controlling factor, rather than muscular strength. Dr. Black found that, m the hab- lit i i ltual chewing ot tooa, mucn more force is exerted than is necessary. In chewing a piece of beef steak, the crushing point of which ; was from 40 to 45 pounds,f rom 60 to 80 pounds stress was actually employed at each thrust of the teeth. The principal article of food tested had crushing points as follows ; Steak, 40 to 45 pounds; broiled ham, 45 to 60 pounds; roast beef, 45 to 60 pounds; pork chops, 20 to 25 pounds, and the hoicest parts of the cold broiled beef tongue, 3 to 5 pounds. The tougher parts of beef and mutton re- uired a crushing force of 90-pounda n some instances Scientific Ameri- an. McClure's Magazine for July.

"I told her eggs were doubtful this Shot weather, but we had some very veI7 resn eSS plants, and how would they do?" , "3he said they wouldn't d at all; and then she asked me if we had any corn that was as green as I- was and the ears as well developed as minel" "tsaid, 'Yes'm.'"

C, July 10. Revenue officer Dancy was attacked in this county one night Jaat week by three men, who pulled him from his horse, and two held him while the other stamped him with both feet. 'In the meantime Dancy got his hahds on his pistol and shot one of them throngh the shoulder blade, and iniuiediaterv the other two look to tbvir heels. Upon the wounded mar.-attempting to-run Dancy was about fo shoot him again but the man exclaimed, "For God's sake don't shoot, i you've nearly killed .me alreadf."

There is a great deal of sound sense and philosophy in -Bishop Doane's closing words to the graduates of Union College. "To. make the most of one's self, and not to be some one else," said the. eloqnent prelate, "should bejthe desire of every man; and to be excellent in anything, to plant a garden well, to breed good horses or to manufacture honest fab rics is to fill one's place in life as really and valuably as to be a poet lawyer, doctor, statesman, editor or priest" This .is a graceful elabora tion of the old saying that a good blacksmith is often spoiled to make a poor minister. One of the chief causes of the many failures in life is young men's neglect of the most important of all studies, namely, themselves, their aptitudes, their limitations and their opportunities. There is no lack of talent in thia world, but the diffi culty is it is frequently misapplied and misdirected. A young man con ceives an ambition to shine at the bar or in politics, and without ask ing whether he is fitted for the role, misled by the half-true and half false adage that labor conquers all things, he devotes his energies in that direction, only to find when it is too late that he has wasted his best years. One of the highest ser vices that can' be performed for young men is to teach them that all legitimate labor is honorable, and to impress upon them the vital im portance of the axiom, "Know thy self."

STRIVE FOR THE BEST. "It is a good thing to be easily satisfied," and "a contented mind is a continual feast," are two old say ings that have been often repealed to us. And yet we do not have much faith in them. The man who is sat fied and contented with one ton of hay where he should grow four, with cows that will give sight , quarts of milk a day that will make four pounds -of butter, a week, whose orchards, if he has any, bear only ci der apples and whose hens don't lay eggs excepting when the price is so low that it does not pay to carry them to market unless it is absolutely neces sary, to exchange them for '-'groceries may have a feast in his contented mind, but that is likely , to be the the only feast he will often" enjoy; and there will not be enough of that to furnish three meals a day to his wife and children. Dissatisfaction and discontent are very desirable, when they are accom panied by energy enough to lead to a striving for better things. The con tinual grumbler who makes no effort to change that with which he finds fault may be a very disagreeable per son, but the man who says, "This con dition does not suit me, and I mean to make it better," and has the grit to carry out his intentions, is in the path of progress, and is likely to get along well if he lives. He will be apt to benefit himself, his family and the world, though he may find the way difficult to travel at times. Bulletin. Not Marse Robert--Some Other Lee. Apropos of Lee, of Virginia, a story which General Fitzhugh Lee told on himself several years ago is a good illustration of the love the Con federate soldiers bore General Robert E. Lee. As is well known, General Fitzhugh Lee was at the head of the cavalry, who were much envivec by the infantry men, who had to walk through mud and dust. After General Robert E. Lee had surrendered, General Fitzhugh Lee rode away from Appomattox. While riding through a lane he met an old North Carolina soldier. "Ho, there!" cried Gen. Lee. "Where are you going ?" "I ve been off on a furlough, and am now going back to jom Uen. Sob Lee, replied the old soldier. "ion neeant go DacK, out can . - . i throw your gun away and return home, for Lee's surrendered ?" "Lee s surrendered ? "That's what I said," replied Gen. Liee. "it must have been that d n Fitz Lee, then," he cried. "Bob Lee would never surrender, and the sol dier put on a look of contempt and walked on. St Louis Republic. What Self-help can Do.
