Points and Paragraphs of Things
Present, Past and Future.
Information has been sent out from
State Suparintendent Toon that
there are in the State 5,422 white
public school districts, and 2,422 color
ed districts. To some people who
have never yet known what the South
has been doins; for a quarter of a cen
tury towards the education of the col
ored race, these figures might be inter
esting. The subject of free rural delivery is
claiming the attention of people in
many parts of the State. Senator
Pritchard has written to the Raleigh
Post that the delay in establishing
routes in many parts of the State where
he has recommended them, Is due to a
lack of proper maps and other Infor
mation. He suggests, therefore, that
where a free rural delivery Is desired a
proper petition should be accompanied
by a map of the.proposed route.
The Commonwealth thinks well of
rural free delivery and would like to
see it tried in Halifax county.
It seems that ouraeylums at Raleigh
and Morganton are full. Many of
these patients ore idiots and inebriates.
These, the Governor ays, mu6t give
place to the' indigent insane which
shall be cared for at the charge of the
state. It was the original intention of
the founders of these institutions to
care for the insane especially. In the
present congested condition all but
tLese must go. .
All this would seem to indicate
that larger preparations will have to be
made by the State for taking care of
such as need this attention.
It is hard for us to find out and real
ize how things go on the field of battle
in the far off Philippines. Thejfollowing
correspondence to the Morning Post
from Rutberdfordton concerning a
North Carolinian's experience out
there will be of interest :
"George W. Rollins, who has just re
turned from the Philippines, is the
most disgusted soldier yet. He eays
the boys are regular slaves and that
the officers of the regiments have no
mercy for the men. He says had he
known that the army .was so he would
have never enlisted. He was in seven
engagements and talks very interesting
ly of his two years In service. During
his service he was detailed as a clerk
for six months on the general court
martial, and his tales of how officers
treated the privates and non-commia-sioned
officers without punishment is
horrible. Mr. Rollins is the bright
young son of the late Rev. G. W. Rol
lins of Forest City. Before entering
the army he was for some time a stu
dent of Waise Forest College. He
says the natives in the Philippines are
lost when it comes to shooting ; that
that the soldiers in the rear are in
much more danger than those on the
firing line. AH the natives shoot too
high."
Nothing more important had come
before the people of any part of the
State than the danger that threatens
Mecklenburg county from the possible
spread of the contagion of glanders,
which is raging among the horses and
mules in York county, S. C. It bor
ders on Mecklenburg county, and the
people there have-asked protection
against the disease. In South Caroli
na mules and horses have already been
killed and barjas have been burned as
a means of stopping It.
Glandeis is a terrible disease amongst
horses and may be communicated to
people. A horse that has once had
the disease la never rid of it again,
althouth he may be able to do general
work lor years. It effects the nasal
mucous membrane which becomes
highly inflamed. A horse which has
had the disease is ever afterwards a
source of danger to one who feeds or
uses him, for he never can be radically
cured of it.
The Columbian Cyclopedia in a dis
cussion of the disease says : "A slight
quantity of the nasal discharge coming
in contact with any of the mnoous
membranes or with an abraded portion
of the skin, is very sure to communi
cate the disease to man or to any of
the equine race

CHAINLESS BICYCLES.
Careful Observers of the Trade Say
That They- Are Steadily- Cottitov
lata Mtt General fe.
! With each succeeding season the
bevel gear chainless type of wheel
has found its popularity increasing,
until it is rapidly approaching a
point WMe in the near future It
Vvdll divide honors with the chain
wheel. There is little question but
that were the price of both types the
same the chainless would coine into
universal use Within a single season.
The cost of manufacture, however
Owing to the greater care and ex
pensive machinery employed in cut
ting- the gears, necessitates a higher
price being put upon the chainless
than upon the chain wheels and in
consequence it holds its position to
day as the product de luxe of the bi
cycle industry. The difference in
price, however, is by no means a
formidable one, and when the su
perior features of the type are con
sidered is Well worth payingi Cleanli
nes8, of course, is one of the great
desideratums, as is the lack of ne
cessity, iti rirop frame designs, for
fcomplicated dress guards. Within the
past two years adjustment and ac
curacy in gear cutting has been
brought so near the mark of perfec
tion that backlash has been reduced
to the minimum, and the highest ap
plication of power with the least ef
fort, is assured. So substantial are
the gears tnemselves that the chances
for breakage are most remote, and
the attendant results of a sprocket
jumping chain are, of course, with
out the pale of possibility. The
writer knows of no instance in which
the rider of a chainless wheel has
gone back to a chain mount, but is
familiar with countless instances in
which chain wheel riders have for
ever abandoned their mounts for a
bevel gear wheel. Cycling Gazette.
NOVEL MOTOR BICYCLE.
Sew York Man Invents a Propelling;
Device That Can Be Attached to
Any Wheel Frame.
Pickerson's motor bicycle is a rad
ical departure from all previous
types, as the inventor attaches three
motor cylinders to any standard bi
cycle frame, clamping one cylinder
to each of the three - main frame
tubes, all in the same vertical frame,
and connects their piston rods to a
common crank shaft and driving
sprocket, supported pivotally in the
center of the frame on a spider whose
arms clamp respectively to the head,
the main top tube and the lower bar
of the. frame. A chain from this
sprocket drives a small sprocket on
the left side of the bottom bracket.
NEW MOTOR BICTCLEI
Acetylene gas or hydro-carbon provides
the motive power and can be carried
in a suitable tank disposed to best
advantage, as on the seat mast, as
shown. The arrangement shown is
merely diagrammatic and the various
parts may be of any suitable con
struction. The inventor also uses the
frame of the bicycle for storing the
gaseous fuel. By his construction,
the engine is so supported that it
projects equally on both sides of the
bicycle frame, thus not only securing
an even balance, but bringing all the
strains in the central plane of the
frame, so that there is no tendency to
twist or distort it, and a lighter frame
can therefore be used than would
otherwise " be j; practicable. Cycling

.. HIGH GEARS FOR WOMEN.
Veteran Rider Sayn They Are Re
sponsible for the Tired Feelinn
Experienced by Lady Riders.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on the fact that many women have
been discouraged from riding by tie
use of a gear too high for them. "Low
gears- for women" is a sign that a vet
eran century "plugger" says should
be in the window of every cycle shop.
He added: v
"Not a day passes that in talking
about wheeling I do not hear some
woman remark that she doesn't ride
because she gets tired, and when I ask
her what gear she rides she tells me
80 or 77, or something like that; some
times 84 or 88. That tells the secret.
Womeii walk with a shorter step than
men. -They have shorter legs and less
jnuscle, yet they have been led along
until half of them are riding high
gears. It's a shame. They should
have a low gear that will give them a
short, quick and easy stroke. In the
early '90's, 56, 58 and 63 gears were
thought high enough for women.
Now they use from 70 to 90. I think
66 to 68 is what they should use, even
considering that wheels run better."
Pick Your Road Carefallr.
1 A careful rider need not necessarily
je a slow rider. Even an unbridled
icoreher who picks his roed damages
his wheel less than the plodder who
pays no attention to where he goes.

r: INGENUITY WASTES
In Extraordinary Electrical Gemlas
Who Applied Himself to Trivial
Invention;
Recently there died in Belgium a
tnan, Johannes SchiJven, who, had his
energies been only diverted into their
proper sphere, would have been hailed
s a genius of very high order; As
it is, his fame has been narrowed
to only the few who happened to live
In his vicinity, says the Cincinnati En
quirer. '
The man's home Was a gloomy house,
turrounded by grounds that had once
been well kept. Solitude was all he
eared for solitude sd that he could
work out the strange ideas that filled
lis brain. To obtain peace he would
indulge in all manner of the strangest
whims.
For instance, he was a wonderfully
skilled electrician. - The neighborhood
was infested with half-starved cats
which naturally found a happy hunt
ing ground in the uncared-for garden
of the recluse. For these eats he man
ufactured some exceedingly life-like
models of mice, which he placed upon
a diminutive railway line in his gar
den, causing them to move like tiny
trains, each mouse being charged with
a strong electric current. The
''mbuse railway Was placed in the
grass, the mice appearing and disappearing-
at intervals. . Such, a bait
proved irresistible to the eats; They
pounced on the mice and Were in
stantaneously electrocuted by the
harmless-looking "prey." Death was
silent and speedy. Their interment
the recluse saw to personally with a
fiendish joy .
But the extraordinary man's genius
did not allow him to rest at cat-killing-.
His home was a perfect wizard's
palace of surprises. A man from the
neighborhood once forced his way up
to the front door and knocked boldly
at the door. The effect was electrify
ing and painful. The door flew open as
though by magic. The next instant
and the temerity of the stranger was
rewarded by the discharge of a bucket
of water full in his face. The action
of knocking had set in motion some
concealed mechanism which opened
the door and threw the bucket of wa
ter, the door then slamming uncom
promisingly, as though to add insult
to injury.
On one occasion a gang of thieves,
lured thither by the stories of the
country people, determined to make
a burglarious descent upon the house
of mystery. They waited for a dark
night, and then made their assault
upon the back of the house. Here, to
their surprise, they found a window
wide open, and having easy access
from without.
A silence, as of the grave, reigned
on every hand. One of the thieves
climbed in through the window. In
a moment a babel seemed to ensue.
Bells were rung, fireworks went off,
flashes of lightning this is all accord
ing to the description of one of the
robbers darted hither and thither,
and the terrified men took to their
heels and ran. That was the one and
only attempt to enter the house bur
glariously. Of course, the explanation
of the phenomena is perfectly simple.
The recluse had merely elaborated
the ordinary btkrglar alarm. He had
left the window open as a lure to the
unwary.
And so this strange man lived on
from year to year. He was rarely
seen about, and no one was ever in
vited to see him. Who he was and
what he was no one seemed to know.
He left nothing in the house to prove
his identity not a scrap of writing
nothing- bvt his poor furniture and
his ingenious devices and models.
It was ascertained that he drew a
small sum of money annually from a
Brussels firm, who did not even know
his name. The money was to be paid
to him anonymously. A small sum of
money was found in the house, and
this was never claimed. The annuity
died with the recluse.
So much for the life history, or all
that is known of it, of a man who
was possessed of extraordinary gifts,
and yet who benefited nobody by
them. The house where he lived has
just been pulled down, and the
grounds laid out afresh. To-day there
is no trace of the man who made mice
that killed cats.
Giants Kettles in Minnesota.
In the Interstate park, near Tay
lor's falls, - Minnesota, has been dis
covered a singular group of .'giants'
kettles," or pot-holes, covering an
area of two or three acres and rang
ing in diameter from less than a
foot to 25 feet, and in depth from
one foot to 84 feet. They have been
bored in exceedingly hard rock, and
in many cases they are like wells in
shape, the. ratio of width to depth
varying from one to five up to one to
seven. Mr. Warren Upham ascribes
their origin to torrests falling
through glacial "moulins" at the
time when the northern territory of
the United States was buried under
ice. As with similar pot-holes else
where, rounded bowlders are occa
sionally found at the bottom of the
cavities. Youth's Companion.
An Improved Marrtave Service.
The Norwegians have decided to in
troduce a new ritual for the mar
riage service. The new woman strong
ly objects to the existing wording,
which is galling to her feelings of
independence and equality, and liter
ally places her in a position of servi
tude to her lord and master. The
new ritual is to be used side by side
with the old, each case being decidwf'-; An erage run of 50 miles

MIDAIR CYCLING FEAT.

among professional cyclists as "Mile-&-minute"
-Murphy, is planning a new
bicycle feat which will make his for
mer effort3j including his famous ride
of a mile behind a flying train in
0:57 4-5, seem tame.

is; if the authorities do not interfere,
and it does hot seem likely that they
will.
I Speaking of the plan, Murphy re
cently said: "It may seem a fool
hardy thing to attempt, but for my
own part I shall not stop to think of
the sway, the height or the danger.
I did nothing of the sort when fol
lowing the train, and I came through
'all right enough and without in
jury. I "My work for the last few years
on a home trainer of the roller sort
enables me to steer a wheel without
minding the sway of the wires. On
ithat high-strung bridge, though it
sAvays fearfully. I feel that I will
be able to ride just as steadily as I
,did back of the train. I will not be
nervous, for that would probably
mean certain death. My nerves
never trouble me on such a ride. I
have the"n I'fider perfect self-control
at all times.
: "I admit that this ride will tax me
a great deal, but I am eager to make
it, and I am confident that it will go
through without a single jar or
break."
AUTOMOBILE GLASSES.
Kinds Used to Protect the Driver's
Eyes and Face When Gotns; at
'a Hla-a Speed.
To the various sorts of glasses de
signed for drivers' use have now been
added automobile glasses, especially
.designed for the use of the automobile
driver.- These are not worn in the
city, where, "with the restrictions on
the speed of automobiles, they are not
needed; but they are worn in the coun
try, where the automobilist un
shackles the machine and lets it go
at 40 or 50 miles an hour, more or less.
Going at that speed his eyes need pro
tection, and this- is afforded by the
automobile glasses.
These glasses are spectacles fitted
with very large shell-shaped or con
vexed glasses, the size and the shape
giving a large field of vision. Attached
to the frame is a mask that projects
high enough above the glasses to cover
the forehead of the wearer, up under
the peak of the cap, and that extends
below the glasses and out at the sides
along the spectacle bows, sufficiently
to cover the entire fall, front and
sides.
For winter wear, when some
warmth in it would be desirable, the
mask is made of suede leather, lined
with silk; for summer use these
glasses are made with the mask of un
tined silk, either of the gra, suede
color or of black.
Automobile glasses are a French
notion, and originally all those sold
here were imported from France.
Now they are made here. Lots of
them are sold. They cost, according
to the material the mask is made of,
from $2.50 to $5 a pair. N. Y. Sun.
i
Automobile Man Talks Back.
It is now urged by an automobilist
that those who drive about the coun
try and complain that their horses
are frightened by the motor cars
have themselves in very large meas
ure to thank for their horses' fright.
None of them is so far removed from
the home of a motor car that he
could not send his horses over to
have a feed of corn beside it and
so grow accustomed to the strange
thing; and no owner of a motor
car is so churlish that he would not
give permission for horses to go to
his stables and receive this lesson.
It is suggested that if horse owners
had but the energy to see that this
was done once or twice their horses
would soon grow used to the motors.
In the French towns the horses have
already learned to take no notice of
them. -

tiquities. They were in the forms of
nailB and tax receipts. The nails
were from an old house that Mr. Ches
nutt's father, the late N. P. '.Chest-v '
owned and which was lately torn d . .
and rebuilt ior a tenant. They wuit
the old fashioned band made nails and
were a hundred years old If they are a
day. The tax receipts dated as tar
back as 1787, the taxes being calculat
ed in English money. The Shsrlif
of Sampson county in those old dya
were John Fort, O. Greeory and J. W.
Butler. There must have been great
scarcity of paper as one of the receipts
was less than three inches long and
not an inch wide.

A SURE PREVENTIVE.
It is better to prevent consumptii n
than to afterwards be looking ior a cuir.
Many cases become incurable simply
because so long neglected. When you
catch cold, when you begin to cougb
make baste to use Mexican r-yrup. It
may save your life, for it has proven a
quick and never falling cure for sore
and irritated lungs, tickling in the
thioat, etc., resulting from a cold ac
cidentally taken. It is only 25 cents a
bottle, and is sold at drug stores.
THIS IS RIGHT.
There is one good about the Mother's
Worm Syrup, and that is, it will never
do anyone a bit of harm, Bhould it fail
to do him good. It is a good Idea to
try this remedy if you feel bad and
don't exactly know what ails you.
There may be a tape worm a hundred
feet long that is causing your loss of
health. If so a 25 cents bottle of
Mother's Worm Syrup will kill and re
move it from 3'our body.
A RELIABLE FAMILY PILL.
A Mexican Root Pill taken when
you begin to feel bilious, or when your
bowels fail to move as they should, may
ward off a long spell of illness. Get a
25 cent box.'
PAIN MAKES LIFE A BURDEN.
It is wrong to let those you love
suffer pain or to be m. pain you reel f,
