Ben Franklin once made tbe statement, "Schools teach us the rudiments of language, but books teach us how to think; therofore, no man is truly educated unless he lived in age when books were so scarce, comparatively speaking, that but little of tbe pernicious in literature was tolerated. But in these days it is different. Your boys -thirst for a knowledge of the world, and if you don't give them some wholesome reading to Blake that thirst, they will get hold of cheap, sensational stories that will poison their minds and do them terrible injury. There is such a vast amount of this trashy Btnff being poured into the market at the present time, that it is a rthef to piok np a new book that is at once thrilling, ro montic, wholesome, pare and true. Such a work is "Footprint of the World's History,'7 the latest and greatest work of the two celebrated historians, John Clark Rid path and Wm. S. Bryan. These distiguish ed gentlemen, having won their laurels by independent writings, have co-coperated on this work, and produced a gem "of the purest ray serene." It is not a dry, nnin terestsng statement of the plain facts, but rather each of the most Important events of history has been taken np and described by a master of language, who holds the reader entranced as he wends his way along the path of history, fol lowing carefully in the footprints of progress. We are delighted with this superb volume. Perfect in thought, superb in style, and magnificent in execution. The bindings are sump tuous, as are also the many illus trations and colored plates. Tbe Publishers have rightly concluded that such a gem should have a rion setting. It is a valuble addition to litera ture. It is a book for the old as well as tbe young; the married as well as the Bingle; the gay as well as the grave. Everybody will read it with equal eagerness and profit. It is sold only through agents and tbe Publishers' advertisement ap pears in another column. Reading, Pa. Christian Record. Why Wild Horses are Tough. "Rest and fat are the greatest enemies of the horse," is a saying of the Arabs, and if every horse owner would embody ita truth in his practice, there would be little need to write anything further on this subject. Its observance would be potent to improve the horse in health, strength, virility, endurance and longevity, and by "holding np the glass to nature," correct the irrational treatment and abnormal conditions under which he Is often reared. Not that the conditions surrounding tbe horse in a state of nature should be wholly imitated, for they do not all tend to his im provement in the qualities adapted to man's use. But ic is worthy of note that the wild horse is tough, sound and healthy, and making due allowance for the influence of natural selection or the survival of the fittest, when it is observed that he is seldom in a state of rest, that he lives u neon fined in the open air, upon natural food, it may reason ably connect these as cause and effect, and safely consider exercise, pure air and simple diet the funda mental conditions upon which to bnild up, by skill in breeding and training, the highest and most perfect equine type. New York Herald. Whipping Balky Horses. Notwithstanding the fact that the press continually admonishes whom it may concern that it does nogood to whip or pound a balky horse, almost every owner or driver of one does it today. It is probably the greatest piece of horse folly ia existence. It is not a remnanc of barbarism, bnt it is continual bar barity and brings ont what original and acquired sin there is in man. The brain of a horse can retain but ono idea at a time. If the idea is to sulk, whipping only intensifies it. A change of that idea, then, is the only successful method of man agement. This may be accomplished in ecores of ways, a few of which will be named. Tie a handkerchief about his eyes, tie bis tail tightly to tbe belly-band or back band; fasten a stick in his mouth, tie a cord tightly about the leg, nnoheck and pet him awhile; clasp his nos trils and shut bis wind off until he wants to go; nnhitch him from tbe vehicle and then hitch up again, or almost any way to get his mind on something else. Whipping or scolding always does harm. Tbe treatment should ever be eentle. There are more balky drivers than horses. Na tional Stockman. There is no greater misfortune that can befall a woman than to let a man marry her believing she is an angel. AX HISTORIC NOTE. A Worthy Carolinian Who Baroly Missed Being President of the United States. It may not be generally known that in the county of Bladen there lived, fifty yearas ago a gentlemen, the late Governor John Owen, who came very near being president of the United States, but whose dis trust af his own abilities prevented his occupying that exalted posi tion. It happened in this way: When the national Whig con vention met at Harrisburg, Pa , in 1840 to nominate candidates for president and vice president, Gov ernor Owen was one of the dele gates from this State. He was an ardent admirer of Henry Clay and an earnest advocate for his nomi nation, and for that reason and his prominence as a public man he was made president of tbe convention. It is well known that Wm. Henry Harrison, of Ohio, received the nomination to the grievous disap pointment of Mr. Clay's friends, and to none more so than to Gov ernor Owen, for he bad clang to bim on every ballot and had exert ed his infiaence in every honorable way to secure his nomination. There was much feeling exhibited by the friends of Mr. Clay at bis defeat, and to soothe their disap pointment they were requested by the supporters of Harrison to name tbe man for vice president on the ticket, and they wonld give him an unanimous support Gov. Owen was approached and asked if he would accept the nomination but his modesty was greater than his ambition, and perhaps the defeat of his political idol was still rank ling in his bosom, and he declined, giving as a reason that he did tot thmk his name would add strenth to the ticket, and Joht. Tyler, o Virginia, was chossn, who was un derstood to have abed tears cop iously over Mr. Clay's defeat. The ticket was elected by an immense majority. Harrison died a mouth after his inauguration, Tyler became President and be trayed tbe party that elected him Had Gov. Owen consented to the use of his name he would have been President and would have reflected honor upon his native State, for he was a pare, high toned, chivalric gentleman of fine attainments and courtly address. He was chosen Governor of the State by the Legislature in 18281 Prior to 1855 our Governors' were all chosen by the Legislature, bat in that year the convention met to amend the constitution oi the State, perhaps the ablest body that ever convened in North Carolina, and the election of Governor was given to the people. Edward B. Dudley, of Wilmington, W88 the first Gov ernor of tbe State elected by the direct vote of the people, bis com petitor being Richard Dobbs Speight, then occupying the gub ernatorial chair, and who was the last Governor chosen by the Gen eral Assembly.

"Here is a towel that is never washed and yet is always kept clean said a chemist to a reporter, hand ing to him at the time what ap peared to the eye and touch to be nothing more nor less than an ordi nary pieee of coarBe cotton towell ing. "What sort of laundry do yon send it toV was the natural query. "This kind,'' replied the man of science, going over to the corner of his laboratory and staffing the towel into a email stove that was burning brightly there for chemical purposes. "I understand," said the visitor (You never ase each a towel more than once." You are very much mistaken there," responded the chemist. ess sach towels almost forever and they almost never wear out." With that he lifted off tbe lid the stove and took ont thernowe with the tongs, dipping it in cold water, and then handing it once more to the newspaper man. ' ' "Why," exclaimed the latter, "it is not even injured! What is it made on" "It is made of rock," answered the chemist; "but a very, peculiar kind of rock so peculiar, indeed that the ancients supposed the staff of which this towel is woven to be of a vegetable nature. They need to wrap bodies that were to be burned in cloths made ot tne same flax like substance in order to keep the ashes from beinglo3t among tbe charred wood ol tbe funeral pyre." "Bat what is it called!" "You have often Tieard ot it under the name of 'asbestos, though very few peeple apparently have any notion as to what it really is. Enormous deposits of it exist in Canada and elsewhere. It is a form of a very hard rock called horn blende, and is found ia strata of -a fibrous consistency readily divisible into silky strands resembling flax. This likeness haa given it the name of 'earth flax.' You can see tor your. self from this towel how : much it looks like a vegetable fabric when woven. An asbestos towel may be used for pretty nearly tbe Bame purposes as an ordinary towel, and, when it is dirty, all yon have to do is to throw It into tbe nre and rake it oat after a little while perfectly clean." "Is asbestos ased for any other purposes in these dayer' "Oh, yes. It is employed for roof ing material, boiler felting, paper stock and in the mixing of fireproof paints for stage scenery. Also clothes for firemen and gloves to handle-red hot iron with are made of it. Sometimes the mineral is found in thin sheets of interlaced fibres, known as "mountain leather. Elsewhere it is not infrequently found in thick sheets, and in that condition is called 'mountain cork.' Trinity CoUege Beats at Foot Ball. Mr. W. D, Suggs, a student from Lenoir county at Trinity College, writes the Kinston Free Press as follows: On the 11th ins., at UoiumDia. a. u,, the Trinity foot-ball team, and Furman university, m cmuii"m m played a match game. Trinity won by a score of 96 to 0. Trinity probably haa the champion team of the south. Trinity expects to play Chapel Hill Friday, November SOtk, at Raleigh, and the University of Virginia at Richmond, November 28th. Trinity 's team is made up of very fine gentlemen and are well trained by their excellent captain, Mr. Daniels.

Sweet Son go 'a charms by poets have been sung. Who stand now on the banks of heav enly streams. But scarcely fairer those celestial shores ThanSongo's eplendors, shrined in pictured druams. See the bright river winding in and out, J Watch the red maples and the brown ing elms. The crimson sumach and the willows green. lib woods are crowned with living diadems. BeQoatn, the leaves that heap the shin ing sand. Take on tbe hues and hxpes of India 'h shells. In the rich depths bi low tree ccd to tree. Each its sweet story of tbe ba umn tt'lls. Though these uprear tbeir branches to the Bky And those to ans wering sides aod shades and dells. Now, fairy like the doubling river turns To where a cottage stands the yel low corn Orows to the water's edge; old apple trees With croofcea elbows, their gray branches shorn or autumn fruitage, guard tbe mossy well, And in a tiny bead a painted boat Dips lazily, aa move our lagging wheels, While drifts of wedlike algae, all flcat. Gleam like spun gold, and shaftlike shadows seem e cavep, like those of which old poets wrote. Blue dreamy Songo; witching winding stream! Rich with the tinting born of flowers and dew. Set thick with jawels which ao mortal hand Can prison, though they thread thy waters throngh. Thy banks can match the charms ot southern shores. Thy wild wood grace thy shadows and thy songs, Thy pines, thy willowy reeds aad stately firs Give to the souls that seek them dreams of heaves. And make of men more fervent wor shipers. Food for a Dysptic. , "I wish to tell the sufferer from a weak stomach how to cook some things which a dyspeptic can eat," writes a correspondent, who bas apparently given the subject much thought and practical effort. "Four years ago my ghusband was almost helpless, with dyspepsia. He consulted t.vo doctors from whom he learned that be could not live .- a year. . Everything .he ate caused him great pain, until ; he tried a fresh egg, veil beaten writbJ a little sugar, a very little saifcand nutmeg, over which was poured teacup two-thirds . lull boiling milk, stirring the egg constantly He took this warm and could retain it without trouble. -oV. Later I prepared milk toast for him as follows: I oued ; stale, -stalt- rising bread, made from ;wheat middlings, cut in slices half an. iaou tftickV toasted a nice .brown in a brisk, oven and soaked, in sweet milk, which had' been boiled and slightly thickened with flour and seasoned with salt ana Duicer. . Anotirer rdish" consisted of one cuDoTfice, well - washed, put in'a large' granite basin with one cop of water and Haif a teaspoon or Bait and allowed to cook slowly until al the water was taken up"by therrce, Then! added two tablespoonsfuls of sugar and five cupfuls of new milk, aad stirred it well, After which I baked it in a slow oven for several hours. The rest of the famjly liked this as well as he did, ca ned ally when served with sweet sauce." New York World. A Souvenir Thimble free.
