The chairman says that the county board of examiners know far more as to who are deserving of pension, than the legislature can possibly Know.

Senatorial Aspirants Remain at the Capital City. ' Interesting Rote on Raleigh Popu lation. Tlolent Death of Negro.S Reception to Legislature, . Claim of $2500 Upon the State. -Raleigh, Jan. 10. Atlanta papers are printing a story to the , effect that Gov. Aycock asked Gov. Terrell of Ga. for a pardon for a North Carolinian in the penitentiary there, and offered to swap pardons, that is to pardon any GeorgUa in the penluntiary here. Tour corres pondent chatted with Gov Aycock about this matter last nlgLt and the Gov. said he had mado no such proposition. He had written to Gov. Terrell In regard to the pardon of a North Carolinian, but had made no offer to trade pardons. New York papers telegraphed here for Interviews wth the Governor about this matter. They did this because lt was so extremely silly. Papers North can certainly do some funny things Your correspondent specially sent by mall In advance a very carefully pre pared synopsis of Gov. Aycock's recent ly sent In message to the legislature to the leading New York and Washington papers to be printed the day after It was read, yet neither of those papers had judgment enough to print lt, and there was not even a reference to it It is also to be observed that tho biggest New York papers are not taking one line of special news about tho Interesting Ssna atorlal fjgm now in progress heie. Queer newepapcr folks these are to be sure. If Gov. Aycock's dog were to bite the dog of Senator Simmons, they would probably want a column by wire about it and would ask that the news be "rushed." The would be Senators and their mis sionaries, or rather the few of the latter remaining here, had a quiet time yester day and today after all the hurly-burly. Mention was made the other day of the fact that a lot of the people were getting very 1 1 red of tho Senatorial dead-lock. A leading Senator remarked to several gentlemen today that this was true and tbat if the West didn't hurry up and set tle on somebody, the East would put op a man and elect him too. The Senator Iteirom the central , pas;t of the State. The other day an effort was made by one Eastern member to bring in a Piedmont dark horse by feeling around to see If a caucus of Eastern men could not be ar ranged for to put up a new man from the Piedmont section. Col. A. B. Andrews was speaking yes terday about density of population of various cities and said that Raleigh's population according to area occupied bv the corporate limits is six times as dense as that of Baltimore and much denser than that of New York. Ral eigh's limits are very small, only a mile square. About midnight Saturday night an old colored man. John Person, who for thirty-five years has been employed by a butcher here was sent to the Raleigh National Bank building, part of which Is occupied by a family to take some fruit. He went in rear of the building, but in stead of going up one stairway, fell head foremost down another, the steps of which are stone. His body was found about seven o'clock yesterday morning lying at the foot of the cellar stairs, the skull split open horn the forehead back ward. Death was probably lustanta neons or nearly so. Person wai quite an old man, and large of stature. :' Mrs Aycock will give a reception to the legislature on the 80th iustant. .

CASTORTA- Tor Infanta and Children. Tfca Klri Yea E::a Alrys E::;M Bears the EisnRSari FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Baaiboo la th Boaachold. The Increasing Importation of bamboo seems to Indicate that Americana are beginning to appreciate the exceeding utility of that remarkable plant In the orient it fills so targe a place that It may bo compared with iron and steel In the Occident Wbep dried and cut into silvers, lt makes nulla which never rust When a portion of -its surface la removed, steamed or heated In a fire, it becomes pliable, and may be bent Into various angles. These two properties enable the eastern cabinet maker to manufacture lt Into stools, chairs, ta bles, screens, etagerea, trunks and ar moires. In the United Stntea bamboo and rat tan are made Into ornamental furni ture on a 8iunll and delicate scale, but the use of the largo sized bamboo for massive and durable furniture, baa not yet been attempted. In household fur nishing and decoration the eastern reed offers unlimited variety. Thus far it has been employed In this country for picture frames, easels, fancy chairs and curtain poles. In the orient the larger sizes, which range from three to twelve Inches hi diameter, are sawed Into va rious lengths and used for card receiv ers, sugar bowls, cigar boxes, hand trays, spoon holders, umbrella stands, drinking utensils and Jewel boxes. The larger ones are cut through and sawed with scroll saws into various patterns, which are utilized as Jardinieres or the holders of pewter boxes, incense cases and mantel ornaments. When softened by hot water and split into thin strips, these can be woven with cord into veranda and window shades, doormats and hall mattings. When split still liner, the strips can be braided into table mats, chair seats and backs, dado wall covers and a floor cov ering which is almost indestructible. A Bafetr Lamp. While the use of electricity and gas for lighting purposes is becoming al most universal In our cities, the country homes must still depend upon the com mon kerosene lamp to dispel the dark ness at night. It is but natural that a simple and safe light should be desired to carry around when going from room to room, and it is a lamp designed to meet these requirements that has been designed by Manander M. Johnson, an idea of his invention being showu In the accompanying drawing. This lamp not only makes provision for the dls charge of explosive gases without per LAKP WITH WATEB JACKET. mltting them to come in contact with the flame, but Is also provided with a water jacket, which prevents the heat of the flame from acting on the oil in the reservoir, thus reducing to a mini mum the vaporization of the fluid. As shown here, the lamp is stripped of all attachments and presents simply the oil reservoir, the water pocket, the wick and Ailing tubes, the latter serving as a handle for transporting the lamp about. Beside the wick Is seen a small tube leading downward from the cavity surrounding the wick, and it is by this tube that the gases rising from the sur face of the oil are carried through the bottom of the lamp to the open air. The same principle can be applied to any pattern of lamp from a fancy piano light to a small affair for hatching eggs in an Incubator. - Flowers, j ; Flowers In the home always seem more than a mere bit of brightness. They indicate a disposition which has in lt the love of the beautiful upon which the great mother Nature has a hold, one which, no matter how harsh and unprepossessing its manifestations, has still something of beauty in it. Ev ery home should have at least one or two flowering plants In Its windows. They are an inspiration. No one can look at them and not feel better for their cheerful presence. A home with out plants 1b like a home without chit dren something of the best of life is missing. American Agriculturist Cranberry Whip. Stew a quart of berries until soft; press through a sievej return pulp to stewpan and add same measure of sugar; stew until like marmalade. Beat four egg whites until stiff, then drop the hot pulp in by spoonfuls and beat constantly, then add a teaspoonful of vanilla extract; turn into a mold and bake in oven for thirty minutes. Cn- mold and garnish with whipped cream and plumped sultana raisins. What to Eat Tha Uefol Lemon. : Lemons are very UBeful in health or sickness. Hot lemonade is one of the beat remedies for an Incipient cold.: It Is also excellent in case of biliousness. For malaria the "Roman cure" Is pre pared by cutting the rind and pulp of a lemon into a pint of water, then boiling until there la only half a pint One teaspoonful la taken before each meal This haa cured obstinate cases when quinine failed. Elaborate Bed lata. . JLace bed seta seem to grow more elaborate all the time. While Arabian lace is still much used, oriental lace Is newer.

The typewriter girl was seat ed at her machine, the newspaper man waa sorting out his notes, and the door was closed so aa to leave them undis turbed. "Now, if you will please begin," the newspaper man said. " 'In these days of stern reality and suffering and strug gle for existence a romantic episode comes upon one with the refreshing de light with which a traveler in a desert beholds an oasis.' " Clickety-cllckety-click went the keys, and then "Isn't thnt lovely! Is it going to be a novel?" The newspaper man looked up In amazement, but lt was utterly impos sible to be angry with such bine eyes regarding him in admiration, "No," he said, "Please go on. In the monotonous routine of Tombs police court cases, however, there was one yesterday behind which lay a story .so romantic, and so picturesque that it would almost seem to-have been cre ated by a great novelist who bad striv en to excel oil his past efforts.' " When this had been recorded, and while the newspaper man was wonder ing what he would say next, the young lady, smiling most radiantly, prattled on in this fashion: "That's just splendid. It sounds like a real novel. Did you ever read 'Claris sa; or, The Forlorn Hope?1 It begins something like that only it isn't so in teresting. Do you know, I never took dictation like that before. The last place I worked In I had nothing to do but copy letters. Oh, dear, wasn't it tiresome, thought" The newspaper man felt his collar getting too small, but after swallowing something that seemed to stick in his throat he said as gently as possible: Won't you please go on? I'm in somewhat of a hurry. What have you got there?' "Where?" In great surprise. "I mean, please read over what I dic tated. "Oh, how stupid I ami 'In these days of stern reality' how do you pronounce that word to two syllables or' three? Thank you 'stern reality and suffer- lng"'- And she read what she had written.' Then, Just as the newspaper man bad settled back in his chair, determined to dictate to the end without giving her another opportunity to interrupt him, she said: "Excuse me, I think my hair is com ing down." She went to a little mirror in a corner of the room, examined her hah- careful, ly, and then, after touching up the puffs of her sleeves and smoothing her. waist, she sighed and returned to her seat. 'There, now; I'm all ready." For the next few minutes she had to work so hard that she hadn't time to say a single word. But soon the page was filled, and she had to Insert a new sheet, and that was her opportunity. "Gracious! How fast you dictate! It almost takes my breath away. But'1 do you know I like it I think it's good practice. Were you there when all that happened? My! I wish I could be a reporter." Thetnewspaper man .went on with his dictation. He was fast growing hop ping mad, but he hadn't the. heart to nay a harsh word to the girl. She- was really vvery pretty, and as she became Interested in the story a delicate flush mantled her cheeks, and lt was a' posi tive pleasure to watch her. But news paper man has no time for pleasure during his business hours, and these charms did not Interest him as much as they might have done under other circumstances, so he struggled -bravely on. "Oh," she suddenly exclaimed, stop ping in the middle of a sentence, "did that really happen?" "Yes, yes I Will you please go on?" "Well, the ideal I wouldn't have be- Ueved'it Do you know, I don't believe half .what I read in the papers, but of course If you say so lt must be true." "I'm very sorry I can't chat with you, Miss Brown, but really I'm in a great hurry." , "Oh, I beg your pardon! I forgot all about that" For nearly ten minutes there waa' not a break in the dictation, save where. a sheet became full and a fresh one had to be Inserted. The typewriter kept her lips firmly pressed together,; as if she were exerting all her strength to keep silent - It was clear to see that lt could not last much longer. In the middle of a paragraph she suddenly, stopped and with a brief "Excuse me for a moment" left the room. In a few. seconds she returned with her Jaws moving conclusively and a piece of chewing gum In her hand. 'Won't you have some?" Bhe asked politely. , "N-n-o and I'll tell you what er I guess I won't have time to finish this story today. I'll come back some other time." ' ' "Oh, you're not going, are you? I'm awfully sorry. I was Just getting In terested in the story." "Very sorry er how much? Here. All right Good day!" And Belzing the few sheets that lay en the desk the newspaper man went away and finished the story with a pan. The Naaabcr of "tfce Beaat." Vitringa says that 000, the number of the beast (Bevelatlon xlii, 18), probably bad some mythical os hidden connec tion with the "children of Adontkan, 006," mentioned by Ezra in the second chapter and thirteenth verse.
