Whlek Show Bow Mack Better OST We Ax Today. Not until February of 1812 did the people of Kentucky know that Madison 1 waa plpptpri nrpfllilAnt In tha nravlAtui November. In 1834 one of the leading railroads of the United States printed on Its time table, "The locomotive will leave 1 the depot every day at 10 oclock If J tbe weather is fair." The first typewriter was received by 1 the public with suspicion. It seemed, subversive of existing conditions. A reporter who took one Into a court room first proved its real worth. In England, some centuries ago, If an irdlnary workman without permission moved from one parish to another in search of work or better wages he was branded with a hot Iron. When Benjamin Franklin first thought of starting a, newspaper in Philadelphia many of his friends ad vised against it, because there waa a paper published in Boston. Some of them doubted that the country would be able to support two newspapers. When Thomas Jefferson was elected president of the United States, on Feb. 17, 1801, after one of the most exciting political campaigns in our history, the gratifying news did not reach the suc cessful candidate for as many days as it now takes hours to transmit the re sult of a presidential election to the whole civilized world. When, in 1809, Richard Trevithlck ut tered the following words there were many who considered him an Insane, dangerous person: "The present genera tion will use canals, the next will pre fer railroads with horses, but tbelr more enlightened successors will em ploy steam carriages on railways as the perfection of the art of convey ance." When Benjamin Franklin first took the coach from Philadelphia to New York he spent four days on the Jour ney. He tells us that as the old driver jogged along he spent his time knitting stockings. Two stagecoaches and eight horses sufficed for all the commerce that was carried on between Boston and New York, and in winter the Jour ney occupied a week. Napoleon at tbe height of his power could not command our everyday con veniences, such as steam heat, running water, bath and sanitary plumbing. gas, electric light, railroads, steam boats, tbo telegraph, the telephone, the phonograph, daily newspapers, maga zines and a thousand other blessings which are now part of the dally neces sities of even manual laborers. When the first two tons of anthra cite coal were brought into Philadel phia in 1803 the good people of that city, so the records state, "tried to burn the stuff, but at length, disgusted, they broke It up and made a walk of It." Fourteen years later Colonel George Shoemaker seld eight or ten wagon loads of It In the same city. but warrants were soon Issued for his arrest for taking money under false pretenses. Success. Maaraetle Effects of Lightning. The magnetic effects produced by lightning ure often very curious. A chest containing a large assortment of knives, forks and other cutlery Waa not many years ago struck In the bouse of a London tradesman and magnetism Imparted, to the whole of the articles. Arago, in his "Meteoro logical Essays," speaks of a shoemaker in Swabia whose tools were thus i treat ed, to his Indescribable annoyance. "He had to be constantly freeing his ham mer, pinchers and knife from his noils, needles and awls, which were- con stantly getting caught by them a at they lay together on the bench." The same authority knew of a Ge noese ship which was wrecked near Algiers in consequence of some pranks played by lightning among the com passes, the captain Innocently suppos ing that he was sailing toward the north when, as a matter of fact, he was steering due south. Chambers' Jour nal. A Very Old Tone. An interesting anecdote is told of the old tune to which a well known song Is now sung. The story runs that when tho army of the first Napoleon was In Egypt in 1700 the camp for awhile was near the pyramids. One afternoon about sunset the band was playing, and the natives of the desert had col lected and were listening to the music. Nothing unusual happened until the' band struck up a tune which we now hear under the name of "We Won't Go Home Till Morning." Instantly there were the wildest demonstrations, of joy among the Bedouins. They em braced each ether and shouted and danced in the delirium of their pleas ure. The reason was that they were listening to the favorite and oldest tune of their people. The tune had been taken to Europe from Africa In. the eleventh century and had lived sep arately in both countries for over 700' years. Smoking and Eye.lght. Smoking to excess leads to some of the most serious diseases to which our' eyes are subject. One of the mildest: of these has color blindness as a re sult, and It may be traced by the fact that those suffering from it gradually cease to recognize varying tints until they can make out blue only. At last, If tbe disease is unchecked, they lose- perception of that color also. Tobacco "amblyopia" Is a further de velopment of the same trouble, in which the sufferer ceases to distinguish form as well as color, and excessive smokers of heavy black twist are pe culiarly susceptible to this. Sailors smok such twist largely, and Its use has even been held to account for col lisions at pea, because the lookout men were under Its Influence. Persistence in this habit may lead to total blind- THE ODOMETER. it Waa Known to Eaiilu.cr. ml I ha Aleaaatfrlaa Sakaol. The udometer, an instrument for measuring distance traversed In a car rlage. Is no modem invention. The first description of It Is to be found In a fragment of a Greek treatise anil waa known to engineers of .the Alex andrian school. Passing to more modern days, we find that on Jan. 1, 1508, a book was published In Nuremberg which pro fessed to give a "succinct, detailed and positive explanation" of various sys tems of measurement by means of aucb au Instrument This "divider," as the author calls It, had a wheel which carried in its axle an Indicator worked by the circular movement; at each turn a needle made a stroke, which was transmitted to the dial. This, odometer, divided into 100 equal parts, had a long hand and a short, like modern clocks, the latter moving one stroke as often as its big brother made a complete round of the dial. Another odometer, said to have been invented by Peter the Great, was shown at the Moscow polytechnic ex hibition in 1872. It was called a "verst counter" and worked excel lently. WESTMINSTER HALL. it. Bargain Counters, State Trial. aad Coronation Banqneta. Westminster hall, whose old gray walls have seen coronation banquets and state trials, used to echo with the bargains driven at shops or stalls which at one time fringed its walls like a modern bazaar. Those were kept by booksellers, toy dealers, sempstresses and milliners. The rents and profits went by right to the warden of the Fleet. An engraving of the busy scene was made by Mosely and prints taken therefrom by Uravelot before 1773 bowing how. In haH of Westminster. Sleek sempstress vends amidst the courts her ware. In "Tom Brown's Amusements" (1770) we read: "We enter Into u great hall where we were surprised to see In the same place men ou one side with baubles and toys and ou the other tak en up with fear of Judgment. In this shop are to be sold ribbons and gloves, towers, headdresses, etc. On the left hand we hear a nimble tongued paint ed sempstress with her charming treble invite you to buy some of her knick knacks." London Mall. A PECULIAR COMPOUND. Crro.la.F Thaiv. In the Cold and FrrrT.ru I ml or Heat. According lo a German raedMcal Jour nal, very anomalous is the conduct of e peculiar chemical compound known as "cryostase." This consists of a mix ture In equal parts of phenol, saponin and camphor, with a little turpentine oil. This weird substance possesses the remarkable quality of becoming liquid, or we may say of "thawing," In the cold, and again becoming solid, or, as it were, "freezing," when heated. It Is true that some other bodies as, for Instance, the white of an egg pos sess a similar property of becoming solid, or coagulating, with heat, but In the case of these, when once the solidi fication has taken place, no degree of cold will restore them to the liquid state, whereaa with cryostase the ex Jierlment can be repeated and the process reversed any number of times. We have thus a substance which ab solutely defies all rule and precedent, but of whose exceptional behavior no satisfactory explanation has as yet been given. The Dreaded Artist. The thought of possible cartoons can not well be absent from the minds of men whom ell the world knows. Mr. Ii. A. Tollemache, the author of "Talks With Mr. Gladstone," told not in the feaoi a story which presents the (Statesman In an attitude not familiar in ordinary representations of the great man. One stormy day during one of Mr. Gladstone's visits to Biarritz he walked from his hotel to call on Mr. Tolle- I niacin1, who was amazed to see that I Mr. Gladstone came without an um- II ibrclla. Mr. Gladstone laughingly explained that If the high wind had happened to turn his umbrella Inside out a picture of him in that forlorn plight would have found its way into half the comic papers of Europe. Narnea of Fruit.. Tho very names of many of our fruits at once suggest their foreign origin. Corinth was the sponsor of "currants" . and Damascus of "dam sons." We have borrowed the word "gooseberry" from the French "gro seille;" "apricot" Is derived from Ara bic; "peach" from the French or the Italian, and "tomato" from the Mex ican Aztec "tomotel," while the word "cauliflower" Is almost comically close In Its derivation from tho Spanish "col-y-flor," cabbage and flower. )nitO the Hrvrr.e.

The ouf "My Old Kentucky Home" was written 0 Stephen I'ulllns KtMlt-r. a resident of Pt-uiisylvaula. while he and his sister were ou a visit to Judr John Rowan, a short distance east of Bardstown, Ky. One beautiful morn ing wbile the slaves were at work In the com field and tbe sun was shining with a miglity splenelor on the waving grass, first giving It the color of a light red, then changing it to a golden hue, there were seated upon a bench In front of the Rowan homestead two young people, a brother and a sister. High up In the tree was a mocking bird warbling Its sweet notes. Over In the hidden recess of a. small brush the thrush's mellow song could be heard. A number of small negro children were playing not far awny. When Foster had finished the first verse of the soug his Bister took It from his hand and sang In a sweet, mellow voice: "The sun shines bright In the oM Ken tucky home; 'Tin summer, the darkles are gay: The corn top's rise, and the meadow's In the bloom. While the birds make music all the day. "The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, All merry, all happy, all bright: By 'n' by hard times comes a-knockln' at the door Then, my old Kentucky home, good night." On her finishing the first verse the mocking bird descended to a lower branch. The feathery songster drew his head to one side and appeared to be completely enraptured at the wonder ful voice of the young singer. When the last sweet note died away upon the air her fond brother sang In a deep bass voice: "Weep no more, my lady; oh, weep no more today; We'll sing one song for the old Ken tucky home. For our old Kentucky home far away. "A few more days to tote the weary load. No matter, 'twill never be light, A few more days till we totter on the my old Kentucky home, good night." The negroes had laid down their hoes and rakes, the little tots had placed themselves behind the large sheltering trees, while the old black women were peeping around the corner of the house. The faithful old house dog never took his eyes off the young singers. Every thing was still; not even the stirring of tlio leaves seemed to break the wonder ful silence. Again the brother and sis ter took hold of the remaining notes and saug in sweet accents: "They hunt no more for the possum and the coon On the meadow, the hill and the shore; They aing no more by the glimmer of the moon, ' On the bench by the old cabin door. The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, With sorrow where all was delight; The time has como when the darkles have to part Then, my old Kentucky home, good night. The head must bow and the back will have to bend Wherever the darky may go; A few more days and trouble all will end In the fields where the sugar cane grow." As the song was finished tears flowed down the old people's cheeks, the chil dren crept from their biding place be hind tho trees, their faces wreathed In smiles; the mocking bird and the thrush sought their homes In the thick et, while the old dog still lay basking in tbe sun Bardstown (Ky.) Record. He Learned to Slug;. A professor at the head of the de partment of music in one of our col leges asked a youug man not long ago at a rehearsal In which the whole col lege took part why he did not join In the singing. "I cannot Slug," the young man an swered. "I have no voice." "Shout, then," replietl the professor. "Make a noise with the others, for we need It." "I was studying once In Berlin," he continued to the students, "and we were drilled In some of the great ora torio choruses every noon by Herr H., one of the finest directors In the world. I had never sung a note In my life and refrained from taking part because I was afraid of putting tbe others out of pitch. "After three rehearsals he came to me, saying, 'l'oung man, why do you not sing?' " 'Oh,' I replied, 'I cannot sing a note and would only put the others out.' " 'Bab!' returned the great man. 'In the chorus your voice will be gtsnd. I have missed it already and shall look for you at the next rehearsal.' "So, you see," he said, "that when we work together every one counts, and the man' who does not take part Is either overmodest or lazy, both very bad faults." Success Magazine.

A little less than one year and five months ago, or tn be accuaite, on Aug 1st Hid;, Ihos W. Deuey cashier of the Farmers & Mercbsuls Hank cf New Bern, qu'etly lift this cit-, leaving a shortage in the lauk of which be waa cashier, estimated at that time fiom $100,000 to $140,000 and forcing the bank to go into liquidation, la Decem ber of 1903 the stockholders of the bank which Mr Dewey had forced Into liqui dation paid every cent that was diie to depositors rf the bink. Within a few days after Mr Dewey's flight from this city, the stockholders offered a reward of $4,00) and the Stste $400 for hs apprenbenslon and deliver to tbe proper authorities. Nothing re sulted from tbe offering of these rewatds Mr Dewey's whereabouts being unknown except to a few Intimate friends. Several times duilng the psst year Mr Dewey has been seen by persons who recognized him In California, and Texas, but Infor mation from those who saw him reached here days aad weeks afterwards, which gave him ample opportunity to effect a change of residence. Within a few weeks the Journal published an ac count of a New Bernian having met Mr. Dewey In San Antonio, Tex., under ihe name of Baron Von Weber. This re port was given wide circulation, Mr Dewey making San Antonio Ills resi dence for but a short wbile thereafter. Lately papers have passed between Mr Dewey and his fiiends In this State, wbich gave iniimatioa to those who were In confidence, that i lie matter of his return was of but a short time. From these private Intimations grew rumor' and reports, which developed Into thei I . 1.1 1 i . 1 i k f VV I practical certainty, that Mr Dewey was In North Carolina, and culminated In his appearance In Goldsboro on Thurs night Dec. 22nd., only a few friends seeing him on that night. The report cf hit return caused considerable ex citement on Thii'sdsy, In both Golds boro and New Bern, the prevailing sentiment seemed to be that Mr Dewey was not the man to return and give him self Into custody, to suffer punishment while It vtat possible for him to es cape. A phone message received here yester day morning gave the public tbe first confirmation that T W Dewey was both in North Carolina and on his way to New Bern to surrender himself to the sheriff of this county. When the bhoo Fly arrive! here yes terday morning, there was a fair sized crowd at the station t greet Mr Dewey. He was accompanied by his lawyer, Mr F A Daniels aad his relatives Messrs Charles and Ernest Dewey, F K and J L Borden cf Goldsboro, the party going at once to the Court House where Mr Dewey surrendered himself to Sheriff Biddle. Mr Daniels in behalf of his client at once sought Judge H R Bryan In order that Mr Dewey's case might he heard, and bond be granted him for his appear ance at the next term of the criminal court. Solicitor L 1 Moore bad been no tllied at Greenville of Mr Dewey's sur render to justice and being' unable to come to New Bern, had authorized O H Qui in, Esq . , to represent the (Hate for the prosecution. Shortly after 13 o'clock In the court room, there was a hearing granted be fore Judge Bryan in the matter of Mr Dewey'a giving bond for his appearance at court. Mr Daniels for the prisoner aaid, that hit client had given himself up, and asked that tbe court fix a reas onable bond. That he had given himself up voluntarily, and there could be no question of his client not being at court, Mr Gnion for the State said. "That he waa acting in behalf of the solicitor, who asked that a bond be fixed which would covei' the two bills against Mr Dewey, there being three counts in each bill." Mr Guion then read the charges, also the law covering tbe billa which had been drawn against Mr Dewey. Mr Daniels I ask for a bond to com ply with the law. Mr Dewey might have remained a fugitive but the thought of his wife and other influences brought him back to answer the charges brought against him, aad 1 ask that only sncli bond be required to bs given, asihai bring him to court I am willing to leave the amount of the bond to the court for 1 know that it will atk only a jast and reasonable one." j Mr. Guion Tho Sheriff conld under rthe capias hare fixed tbe amount of the hnaH hat h- M I did not like Ions I', j h. n'kr.i ite son. i"ir over Use oli'ine a- t-i hi- i laaa of the smouot, aad a- fcu - iv .1 iM,MM aad $"0,000.

It waa not the fear of er. rest which brought him back, bnl he felt be had duties at home, Neither the Slate or the bank directors had paid any money for his return. 1 never have heard of such amouaia as the solicitor asks, they seem unusual and excessive. Mr Dewey may have friends who will give the bonds, but t hit is not the con sideration. The purpose of the bond la to bring him to court and he was pre pared to give such lion 1 In reasonable amounts. The Court expressed Itself that the bonds adked for by the solicitor were too much. Mr Daniels said he would be satisfied with aoy reasonable amount of bonds the court would fix, The court gave an opinion that bonds of $15,000 and $25, 000 were sulllcient, the stme to be justi fied. Mr Daniels thereupon offered as Mr Dewey's bondsmen Mr F K Borden, Mr Chas Dewey, Mr Ernest Dewey and Mr J L Borden of Ooldsboro who were ac cepted, and bonds duly executed. The couit judgment against T W Dew ey Is $110,640.00. Mr Dewey as he appeared here was as usual quietly and neatly attired. His. manner was composed and far less ner vous than It was when he was here last. He looks to be twenty-five pounds heav. ler.
