THE EDITOR'S LEISURE HOUES Prints and Paragraphs of Things rresent, Past and Future. It has been stated recently that North Carolina la rcakipg rapid pro gresa in the matter of building. In some places, It is said, lumber cannot be had as fast as desired, nor are there carpenters enoueh in nmnlv tha w - wmu raand for work. This Is indeed a good indication that the Stat3 is experienc ing an era of prosperity, and it is to b hoped that It will be permanent." The people have been patient under pres sure for years, and all honest, tolling ones are entitled to a brighter day now. Those who are Incredulous about consumption being contagious may haye some of the mist of doubt cleared from their minus by the following abatement, which has been given out as authentic : "Twenty clerks In a German labor bureau who in a short period of time - were taken sick with consumption, all of them havrng worked over records which, upon examination by a bacter- ologist, were found to be infected through and through with tuberoular bacilli. Further examination showed that they had . probably been infected by a consumptive moistening his fin gers in his mouth whenever he turned tne pages of the record books. In this way all the books had become thoroughly Infected. This case has attracted the attention of the Michigan State board of health, which bas in turn drawn the attention ot the boards bf health of other jStates to it and it 13 apt to rivet the interest of tfee general public, as never before, upon consumption as contagious dis ease. Tic foregolDg is a paragraph lrom a recent issue of the Charlotte Obser ver; and it ia worth consideration by every one. To one who In childhood knew no :ifj."''rQl fonilfHns hnt b "o'd field school," taught in the "old log school house" by the teacher who "boardsd iround," the modern methods seem a little hot-house like. It is a memory to be cherished the sight of a score of children trooping away from school iust before sunset, each on armed with a."blue back" spelter, , and one for avery five carrying a tin bucket or oak split basket from which ever and anon some scampering "bfat" would snatch tha broken biscuit, the cold potato or bit oi cold potato pudding left oyer from the dinner which a half-dozen jahbering children enjoyed together on a big log at "play time." So simple were the school child's equipments in those daj-s ! Now, every one carries a book-bag, or book-strap with something under a dozen books, some a slate with a (tponge ( !), but for the most part the ulate le left at home and all work is done on store tablets, composition books and the like. Indeed, it does seem that the old time way of doing school-work is al most forgotten. The acquiring of an education no longer seems a task, but with the many conveniences and extra .jdyantages, Itia more like a picnic holiday all through the school year. We may be a little foggyiah, but we candidly believe that tho thing is made too easy.In these last days. There is too much paraphernalia. . We believe that we need to return to the ways and and means of more simplicity. If the ordinary school child forty years ago could have seen the same school child of today it would nave looked like a visitor from fairy land. PREVENTED A TRAGEDY.

GROSVENOR DA WE. Written For The Commonwealth. A Model for Voters : In vthe City Hall Park of flew York stands the statue of a beardless youth whose el bows are tied behind his baok The cars of hurrying commerce and pleas ure roll by him and crowds almost as unheeding as the cars themeelves glance at the figure and pass On. " This youth died one hundred and twenty three years ago without knowing any thing of t.he outcome of the Revolution and without ever dreaming that his statue one day should stand as a quiet appeal. Men of greater moment than this earnest, hearty, patriotic school teacher served all through that war and with distinction, yet their names inscribed even leas deeply upon the hearts of someol us than is Nathan Hale's He was a spy and he met a spy's death, just as Major Andre did later on upon the American side. Many others were spies and not all were caught, yet of them we hear nothing. Nathan Hale's memory lives because when he was about to die he said, "I only re great that I have but one life to lose for my country.'' This is the meta with the true ring : That is he her oism that tells, because it does not count consequences : that is the lile that lives though life be vanquished : that is the self-forgetfulnesa which prompts his country-men to an un fading memory. Next year the school-house in East Haddam, Conn., where Hale taught will become a museum and relics of this brave young man will be gathered there, together with other historic things that should fo preserved for ever. Our country is doing well by its constant endeavor through the various historical societies, to preserve statues, and bouses, and treasures that tend to make the past more real to the present day child. What Is Hale's quiet message to us across the years of change that separate uia liuie froru ours? Is it not that our country ought to be to each of us a very real thing a personality, 1 might almost say? We are too olten poss essed of a feeling of impatience and digust with some particularly obnox ious neighor and some of us rise up even in our wrath and declare that so long as this or that bad man votes we will not vote, and so long as this or that bad man has power we will inten tionally be weak and show no power. What surer way is there for unfruitful political life than throwing aside tho heritage of a vote just because a bad man possesses that same heritage ? Rath er than holding back let our vote nullify the vote of the bad man instead of in creasing his power by our not voting at all. It is when we realize the actual per sonality of our country thought made up of all sorts of .diverse elements that we can begin to understand something of the spirit that actuated Hale. He was in love with a beautiful girl ; he was full of life and hope ; be had been well trained at Yale College ; and Congress had especially honored him by making him a captain after a short service before Boston : yet all these things he counted as naught when set against the interests of his country, a word that isloo often hazy and misty in our minds as to its true meaning. Hale knew it was something worth fighting for, worth living for, worth dying for and he was either right or he was a fool. Surely not tho latter ; tor we are running hither and thither to honor him. But if right, what con ditions have altered, pray, to make us less interested in the future of the country? I can imagine visions ot America's greatness floating before the distended eyes of this boy of '76 ; and the thought of even making the smal lest contribution to its great needs was sweet to him and he did not shirk. He was a prophet and sq are we, all of us wno understand and live out the be lief that our country's history and power, glory and might, do not begin and end with oar little tiny selves, but that we are items in the greater cir cumstance of the moving forward of the nation. Most of us are notalled upon to render our services to the coun try under bis trying conditions. All that we have to do is eaey compared with that done by this brave young lad. What we have to do, as it were, ia to hold up our hands and be counted for the right and against the wrongj yet even ibis some of our coward natures shrink from, as though life were given to us merely to drift down the stream like a twig. m, n ; o . s t o ax a. .

It is no paradox to name the late Cornelius Vanderbiit a Christian Croe sus, for other wealthy men have been good, and done good. But Mr. Van derbilt's wealth was so phenomenal that the world was surprised when his life refuted the supposed antagonism be tween piety and pelf. They saw his industry his integrity, his philanthropy, his harailty, and could jMy respect to his character as well as homage to his munificence. But it was because he brought him self nearer to his fellow-men than other kings of lortune that Cornelius Van derbilt was so valued irT his life and universally lamented in his death. Thore was in him none ot the haughty and supercilious selfishness that makes rich men, and the yery name of riches, odious to the common people. His money was to him no reason why he should not be a christian gen tleman alter tbepattern of Christ Him self ; and so kept in sympathy with his kind, and won souls bec ui-e he touched them. His religious -feeling for: his thous ands of employes, and for the public, gaye them the "Railway Christian Association," and the Lenten noon meeting for men ; and in the chapel attached to the reading-room which he opened under the Grand Ceatral station he frequently led the prayer-meetings himself. As was once said of Helen Gould, there are men who have given away more millions, who are nevertheless hated. She is beloved because in all her gifts she has showed that she per sonally cared. , The sime is true of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Other rich don ors could dismiss a charity by signing a check. He never bestowed without heart and conscience as well as intelli gence. To the hard-working and the physi cally and morally needy he was never out of reach ; and when he died every brakeman and fireman and baggage man knew that he buried a friend. The eentiment exprefsod at the memorial meeting of the directors of nine railroads, found its echo every where : "The world has seldom held and rarely lost so good a man In all the relations of life." Such an instance among the world's great capitalists is shining proof that there is no necessary gulf between the millionaire employer and his poorest workman, and that Christian benevo lence is not only pecuniary liberality but something more. Conelius Van derbilt was both a rich man and an example to rich men. A Test for Cigar Smokers. (New Orleans Times-Democrat.) "I have a customer who thinks he smokes twenty-fiye cigars a day," said a New Orleans dealer. As a matter of fact he smokes about three-eighths ol that number. The other five-eighths represents what be giyes away, lays down partly consumed and a generous disregard of 'butts.' However, he is firm in the conviction that he smokes more actual tobacco than any other man in New Orleans, and a boast on the subject in my storej yesterday led to a curious bet. "He declared, to begin with, that he could smoke three ordinary cigars in halt an hour, and a bystander remarked that no man aliye could smoke even one cigar continously until it was on-1 sumed without taking it from his lips. Bosh,, said the twenty-five a day gentleman, 'I do that right along and think nothing of it.' 'I'll bet you a box of perfect os you can't do it right now said the other, an! in halt a minute the wager was up. By its term the cigar was to be consumed in steady consecutive puffs and not removed from tie lips until burned to a mark, inch from the tip. A clean Havna, Colorada Maduro in color, was selected for the test and the smoker took a seat and began. "He puffed like an engine for about two minutes and accumulated some thing under half an inch of ash, and then he began to wobble. He lifted the cigar from side to side, pulled slow and fast, and seemed to have difficulty in getting his breath between draws. At any rate he kept moving hl3 head to avoid the smoke and finally- got to coughing. I could see ho was in tor ture, but he stuck to it until he got within half an inch of themarK. men he jumped up suddenly, threw the cigar away and walked out of the store. I paid the bet and charged it to his account, and he told "me last night that the very idea of tobacco made bimsics: It is not unlikely that the affair may lose me a good customer. "I doubt whether it would be possi ble for anybody to smoke even a mod eratefy strong cigar through In the manner I have described," ' . . O Bears the Signature i The Kind You Have Always Bought SUPPLY. WHAT IT MEANS. New Ways of Using The Big Corn Crop. Scientific American. The corn carnival is the feature of the great valleys of the Central West "when the frost is on the pumpkin and the corn is in the shock," but with a crop of some .300,000,000 bushe's to harvest there are tired souls and wearied bodiaa In the corn belt these fine autumn flays. The promise of wealth 'and abundance of this world's goods brings consolation and joy ; It is the prolonged labor without tho monetary compensation that dis heartens and. dispirits. Neve? was there a more propitious carnival season than the present, and Kansas and the corn belt are jubilant. Crops are good and prices are good. Corn is every where and everything. One cannot walk the streets of a Kansas town to day without encountering witnesses of the State's wealth. There are corn neckties in the show-windows, corn husk parasol3 and hats in the possess ion of fair women pedestrians, corn stalk canes jauntily swung by prosper ous swains, and corn shoes and dolls for children everywhere. Tho manifold value of corn for household and per sonal adornment has been the feature of each succeeding carnvial, and this year's creations have totally eclipsed anything heretofore witnessed. Bat while the c;irniyal emphasize the ornamental side, there s an un dercurrent of genousnes3 about this adaption of corn aud its by-products that more deeply concerns the people than an outsider might imagine. Corn was never used in bo many different ways for commercial and manufactur ing purposes as ia the past year or two. If we cannot induce the Europeans to take our corn for household uses, we can manufacture it into diffaront articles of commercial value which they must take. This seems to be the trend oi thought in tho corn belt, and new inventions and discoveries an nually open up new consumptive mar kets for corn and its products. Corn is gradually entering into industries that ssetn far removed in every cense from this product of the fialds. The queer corn shoes, corn hats, dolls, and neck ties which were muds and exhibited for celebrating the corn carnival etand in sharp contrast with the corn oil, corn cakes, and corn rubber. The one hundred and twenty-odd recelpes for using corn as an article of food which government experts pub lished ten years ago for the benefit of benlghtad Europeans who did not appreciate this article of food are not so important in increasing the con sumptive demand as some of the recent discoveries. Coru oil for instance, which ia extracted lrom the grain, has an extensive demand in various trades where vegetable oils are essential. Corn oil can be produced more cheaply than most oi our vegetable oils because of the relative abundance of corn, and in the last year much of the oil has been used for table purposes. No at tempt has been made to substitute for good olive oil, but judiciously mixed it will pass muster a s low grade table oil. It is also a a fair lubricating oil ; but its largest use is in the trades and manufactures. Paint mixers employ it quite generally, and also manufactur- ers of fiber and hade cloth. It pos- aesses qiLilities that .recommend it par ticularly to these industries, and the demand for it is annually increasing. Corn rubber ia a new article which is substituted for pure rubber in certain lines of goods. This cheap substitute is mixed with equal parts of pure Para rubber. Tho corn part of the substitute is taken from tha refuse of the glucose factory. About five per cent of the corn in making glucose could not formerly be utilized, and this waste seemed absolute. The new feorn rubber is manufactured from this apparent waste, and vv lien mixed with pure rubber it produces an especially valuable compound. Improvements in this rubber substitute are made each year, and it has to a certain extent supplanted Para rubber lor many pur poses. -This imitation rubber is lrom 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than pure rubber, but it has net been sufficiently perfected entire! yto displace the Para article. The oil which Is found ia corn glyeS a pliability to the rubber compound that prevents it from crack ing and breaking as most .cheap grades of rubber do. Moreover, the oil of corn tends to prevent the rubber from oxidzing, a fault common to moat India rubber. -There are hve refinerierof corn oil Dr. Bull's Cough feyrup cures over n'gbt the most stubborn cold as well f s ail its complications tickling in tbe throat husky voice and violent cough ing. It is the most wonderful med icine science has produced. NO. 44. in tho United States which use between 10,000,000 and 20,000,000 bushels of corn and corn waste. Besides the out put of oil, the refineries have marie nearly thirty other different products from the corn. But in spite of all these various products about 5 per cent , was practically waste until the discoy erj' of the rubber substitute was made The spirits distilled from corn con stitute another large industry, and re cently the employment of the spirits in the manufacture of new grades of smokeless powder has greatly increased the demand tor the crop. The British government has been a liberal buyer of the spirits for this purpose, and the Japanese government has quite re cently placed an order for eeyeral thousand barrels for the same purpose. An extensive European war would consequently send the price of corn "booming," beeauco of its general need iDr food and because It wou'd be m demand for the manufacture of large quant; f.!33 oi smokel ess powder. The distilling companies are not only in creasing in number, but the output ol tha largest is doubling. Thoy absorb an enormous quality of tho farmers corn and prevent a surplus that might otherwise reduce prices below the point ot profit for the growers. The comparatively new cattle foods owe their existence to the employment of corn ia various manufacturing pur poses. All ot them have received scientific tests and the endorsement ol experts in cattle feeding. The corn oil cake, which is really the refuse oi factories, contains nutriment of a high order, and when properly fed, in con junction with other foods.it is o! great value to the animals and money !n the pocket of the farmer. Gluten meal, gluten ieed, and chop feed arc other cattle foods that owe their origin to the different factories employod in con verting corn into products of commer cial and eciensiuc use. The manufacture of glucose has opened up a whole field of new in dustries, and the glucose niiule from corn enters quita extensively into the refining of syrups, jellies, and fruit preserve.?. It i3 aldo used by leather tanners and bicvers. Tbe sugar and starch made from corn form other branches of important industries. Different grades of grape sugar are made from tho corn, and they are used by ale brewers and tanners, while tue better grades are employed by apothe caries an'd conlectioners. Pearl and powdered starch come from tho corn, and also dextrin and llourin. The lorm-sr is employed in the manufacture of mucilage and glue, and the latter is mixed with flour. The now uses to which these by products cl corn are put multiply rapidly, and every new employment of any of them make a greater demand upon the corn crop. It is all along this lino that improve ments are bem? mude which encourage the corn farmers and improve the future for them. If it ware not for these several dozen different articles which are made from coru, the farm ers of the corn bait would long since have been ruined. A crop of 300,000, 000 bushels would. simply swamp them, and make corn so cheap that it would not pay to harvest it. But with this enormous crop in view, ths farmers are happy and jubilant, because there is sulScient demand for the product to keep tho prices up. . E. T.

Thanksgiving Spirit. Among"Anna Fa rqu bar's "Convic tion" in the November number of "The .National Magazine" is one that : "In nearly every man's life there comes a day when he is so grateful for some supreme blessing that in walking along the streets he overflows with a desire to make others equally happy. That is the one great Thanksgiving Day ot his life. Exactly a3 a lover at the height of his bliss has a surplus ol love to bestow upon the entire woild, the truly grateful man returns both general and personal thanks. But the thauks of the Pharisee is the everyday kind, bitten by that wordly frost, whicn, in withering man's wings sets hici. lower than the angels." It. will not be a surprise to any who are at all famiiar with the good qualt ies of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to know that people everywhere take pleasure in relating their experience in the use of that splendid medicine and in -telling of tho benefit they have received from it, of bad colds It bas cured, ol threatened attacks of pneu monia it bas averted and of the child ren it has saved from attacks of croup and whooping cough. It is a grand, good medicine. For sale by E. T. Whitehed &Co. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.
