Mr. Padgett Corrects Mistaken Idea
As To Expenses of Laymen's
Convention.
EXPLAINS FINANCIAL PLAN
Committee of Ladies from the
Churches To Aid In Arrange
ments for Supper.
Secretary L. B. Padgett of the Lay
men's Missionary Movement says that
he learns thai a few people in New Hern
have gotten the wrong idea about the
expenses incident upon tl e holding ir.
this city of the Laymen's Convention
in February. Some people he finds are
under the impression that each delegate
will be required to pay tw dollar, one
for a scat at the supper and the oilier
for the privileges of a delegate on the
'floor of the convention. This io not
the case at all, Mr. Padgett states, ft
is only desired to make the convention
meet its own expenses. To this end
each delegate will be asked to pay one
dollar and only one dollar. litis will
admit him to the supper and will at the
same time be his contribution to the
expense.! of the contention. '
The ladies' committee Wni will co
operate with the entertainment com
mittee in arranging the supper, has
been appointed and are as follows:
Mrs. Jane Meadows, Mcthodh.t
church.
Mrs. C. E. blover, Presbyterian
church.
Mrs. Charles Hall, First Baptist
church.
Miss Dita Roberts, Episcopal church,
Mis Nina Basnight, Disciple church.
Mrs. S. I. Phillips, Tabernacle church.
Mrs. Alice E. Lupton, Free W ill Bap

The ministers of the city at a recent
meeting ado ted the following resolu
tion approving the movement.
"Whereat, the Laymen's Missionary

TO
Dandiaa of Pt Centuries Would Maka
Solomon Look Sad.
Compared with tbe gay apparel worn :
by the dun dies of tbe past ages tbe
youths of our time In the gayest of,
gay raiment make but a poor show.
The bishop of Ely la the fourteenth
.century had a change of raiment fori
every day in the year. The Earl of
Northumberland boasted no lesB than
alxty doth of gold suits at this time.
In the time of Chaucer the men wore
clothes as many colored as Joseph's
coat, ao that while one leg would be
a blaze of crimson, the other would be!
tricked out In green, blue or yellow
without any regard for harmony or!
contrast '
Even as late as the middle of the'
eighteenth century, a dandy would,
dress himself In a vivid greeu coat a
waistcoat of scarlet yellow breeches !
and blue stockings.
And the gentleman of a few years
later wore, among other vagaries, a !
coat of light green, with sleeves too
small for the arms and buttons too big :
for the sleeves; a pair of fine Man
chester breeches; clocked silk stock
lngs; a club of hair behind larger than
the head which carried It; a hat not
larger than a sixpence.
It was a common thing in the early
part of the eighteenth century for a j
man of fashion to spend several hours '
dally in the hands of his valot. Among
the many operations which took up
this time was "the starching of the
beard and tbe proper perfuming of the
garments, the painting Of the face and
anointing with oils, tinctures, essences
and pomatums. London Standard.
TRAMPS OF THE SEA.
Their Work In Dsvoloping the Ocean
Carrying Trade.
There are land tramps and sea
tramps, but whereas the former Uvea
by the labor of others, the world's
business would be In great straits
were the latter to be swept from the
face of the ocean. While there have,
practically always been tramp sbips
since men have sailed the sea. It re
malned for tbe Yankee skippers to de
velop this phase of ocean carrying to
Its highest degree. Tramping on the
ocean is only another name for trad
lng, and many are the stories extant
of Yankee skippers swapping bends,
mirrors, calico, knives and other trifles
for Ivory In Africa, and for commodi
ties equally as valuable In other lands
The tramp steamship came Into ex
lstence during the war between the
states, and it Is to this type of vessel
that Euglnnd primarily owes ber su
premacy on the sea, she having en
couraged the building of tramps more
than any other nation. In times of
peace they add to ber prosperity, and
where they enjoy a subsidy, as they
do In some Instances, they are used as
transports and other auxiliaries in
times of wnr.
Next to England comes Norway as a
nation which encourages sea tramps,
and as ber maritime laws are more
elastic than those of Great Britain,
many British tramps are sold to Nor
wegian owners, who make them pay
after they Intfve outlived their useful
ness under the British flag. Marina

Rook and Crook.
The rook appears to have become the
bird whose name stands for swindlers
In a distinctly unfair way. At flrst
"rook" meant a dope, then the verb
''to rook" came to mean to chent. and
out of this was evolved "rook," a
cheater a complete topsy furvy proc
esa It Is curious that tbe same thing
has not happened to "gull." Here also
the verb came from the substantive
meaning a dupe, and ns the gull strikes
one as rather a knowing bird one
might have expected the same evolu
tlon as In tbe case of the rook. II
should be observed, however, thai
"gull." a dupe, did not refer specially
to the sen gull, tbe word having for
merly mennt a young bird of any kind.
In Elizabethan English It signified a
callow youngster who wished to be
thought smart. London Chronicle.
The Salamander.
In Andrews' "Anecdotes Ancient and
Modern" (1789) one reads, "Should a
glass bouse Sre be kept up without ex
tinctlon for a longer term than seven
years there Is no doubt bat that a
salamander would be generated In tbe
cinders." This probably accounts for
tbe popular idea that a salamander
lives In the Are. a fallacy so far re
moved from the truth that tbe curious
lizardlike beast so called cannot en
dure evenJSjtbe heat of the sun, but
skulks away under stones to avoid' It.
It will never lose Its reputation for
fire entlng, thongh, which lingers still
In tbe heating utensil that Is named
after It
Card Marks.
It Is conjectured by some writers on
the subject that tbe marks upon the
rards designating tbe four kinds In a
pack were originally symbolical and
Intended to signify the different class
ts of society. According to this sup
position, the hearts represented tbe
clergy, spades the nohtllty. some old
packs of cards bearing a sword or
lance bead Instead of a spade; clubs
tbe serfs snd diamonds tbe burghers
or citizen classes.
Sunny People.
The world delights In sunny people
Tbe old are hungering for love eaore
than for bread. The air of Joy It very
cheap, and If yon can help the poor
on with a garment of praise It will tie
better for them than blankets. Henry
Drummond.

The First ateamer Tat Wied For Hire
In Groat b.iain.
Amoig the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first adver
tisement of the first steamer that plied
for hire In Great Rritaiu namely.
Henry Bell's Comet. Thus ran the ad
vertisement in the Glasgow Courier of
1812:
"Steam passage boat, the Comet, be
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helens
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scriber having at much expense fitted
up a handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between (Jlasgow and
Greenock to sfill by the power of
wind, air and steam he iutends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw
on Tuesdays, . Thn rsd..ys and Satur
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave Green
ock on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days in tbe morning to suit the tide.
The elegance, comfort, safety and
speed of this vessel require only to be
proved to meet the approbation of
the public, and the proprietor is de- j
termined to do everything In his power
to merit public encouragement. The
terms are for the present 4 shillings
for the best cabin and 3 shillings for
the second, but beyond these rates
nothing Is to be allowed to servants or
ny other person employed about the
essel."
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet, of whose ele
gance, comfort and speed he was so
prend, alongside a modern ocean
racer or one of the latest palatial river
teamers of the Clyde or Thames, all
so well advertised? Chambers' Jour
nal. THE GOLDFINCH.
Changes In Plumage That Are Pus
zling to the Novice.
Most every one in America is ac
quainted with the goldfinch, bnt many
people know the bird by the name of
lettuce bird on account of Its brlgbt
yellow color. Goldfinch is a very ap
propriate name, as the bright yellow
ef the male when he is in breeding
plumage is like burnished gold. The
female goldfinch is more modestly
dressed than her mate. The changes
in plumage of the male are very inter
esting and to the novice somewhat puz
zling. Until the student becomes acquainted
with the bird he may wonder why he
sees no males during the winter. The
truth Is at this season tbe flocks of sup
posed female goldfinches are really of
both sexes, the male bird having as
sumed in tbe previous fall, " usually
by the end of October, a plumage close
ly resembling that of the female and
young bird of the year. The male re
tains this inconspicuous dress until
late in February, when one can notice
a gradual change taking place in some
of the birds.
This renewal of feathers is actively
continued through March and April,
and by May 1 our resplendent bird Is
with us again. The song period with
the male goldfinch continues as long as
he wears his gold and black livery, for
it commences as early as the middle of
March and ends late in August
A Successful Interview.
Tbe late Arthur McEwan when he
was working on n5an Francisco news
paper was attracted by the activities
of a politician who was vulgar, illiter
ate and hideously ungrammaticnl In
his method of expression. McEwan
looked up this man and had a talk
with him. Then lie went back to the
office and wrote the Interview in tbe
most perfect English, brilliant, polish
ed and crammed tbe story full of clas
sical allusions, quotations and big
words. It was a most scholarly pro
duction, and McEwan considered tbe
satire great. Next day McEwan had a
call from the politician. "I wnnter
thank yez for that interview," he said.
"It's bully. Just what I said. You
must be a grand shorthand reporter."

Martyrdom of the Bride.
A peculiar and barbaric marriage cus

consists in tbe martyrdom of the bride,
who, clad in her wedding finery, stands

and with only the narrow base of the
column for a foothold, the while a ring
of villagers criticise and comment on
her appearance. Argonaut.
