Points'and Paragraphs of Things Fressnt, Fast and Future. As a matter of news to those inter ested we are able to chronicle the fact that in the great yacht race Saturday between the Columbia and the Sham rock, the Columbia won the race of thirty nautical miles by 39 seconds. The practice of hazing at college is rapidly growing into disfavor and rightly so. The following from Chari ty and Children is an interesting item touching that subject : "We are told that at Davidson Col lege the sentiment is so strong against the brutal practice of "hazing" fresh men that the students themselves ex pel the hazers from the classes with out carrying the matter to the faculty at all. All honor to Davidson ! It is not brave nor manly to persecute thoso unable to defend themselves, and a gentleman will never do it." It has been said many times that Legislators are afraid of "yaller dogs," Many a man has spoken sneeringly of the Legislature on the subject of dog laws ; and indeed so many sharp things have been said against timid legislators there is little room for more. We olip the following, however, from the Nortii Carolina Baptist. "We hear about a North Carolinian, who is getting out of the state because of the worthless, troublesome curs. He wants to raise sheep and North Carolina is an uncertain place for the business so long as the right of way is given to the "yaller hound" in prefer ence to the profitable sheep. The av erage lawmaker is powerfully afraid of the dog question when he gets to Raleigh, because the floating vote back at home is powerfully fond cf dogs. A man who owns three or four hounds doea not want a legislator talk ing about taxing those hounds and the hound goes untaxed. North Carolina could be a great sheep raising state. It is a shame on us to let a loafing, worthless, sheep killing dog thus drive capital out of the state. More sheep and less dogs would be a pretty good day's work when our legislature meets again." The whipping-post has long been abandoned, and some say it is barba rous and ought never be brought back. We have long been of the opin ion that there is virtue in the whipping-post and we belieye in many cases it would be wise to have certain crimes punished in this manner. The Fort Worth Register speaks thus of it from Texas : "Public sentiment is turning In the direction of corporal punishment for a certain class of offenses. The whipping-post was put out of use many years ago because its use had been abused. It was considered that the public whipping of a man so degraded him In his own estimation that be ceased to try to be a respectable citizen. So the jail took the place of the whipping-post. Now we send culprits to jail for a week or a month for minor offenses. They are thrust in an atmos phere of crime, and mingle with other criminals. They are taken away from productive labor, and become a burden upon the public, which pays for their keeping in idleness. Which is the better for them and the public, the whipping-poet or the jail? The Legislature set apart October 12th of each yesr as North Carolina Day to be observed in the public schools of the State. If the 12th dav of October falls on Saturday or Sunday another day may be chosen, and as October 12th falls this year on Satur day, State Superintendent T. F. Toon has chosen Monday, October 14th, as North Carolina Day. This day is in tended to celebrate or in some specific way acceutuate in the minds of the pupils in the public schools some lead ing event in North Carolina's history. It is a very important matter and the public school teachers throughout the otate will doubtles3 give it the proper attention. By this means some im portant event of history may be im pressed on the minds of children in such a way that they will not be apt to forget it, and which they, might not otherwise remember so well. It is gratifying to see that the public schools are coming more and more to be re garded as a power in the State for good and noble citizenship. , Pyny-Balsam Stop the Tickling, md quickly aars inflammation la the throat. PECEIAJMMSBS. Some Quite Odd Expressions. WHAT THEY MEAN. Selected. "To feel in apple pie order" is a phrase which dates back to Puritan times to a certain Hephzibah Merton It seems that every Saturday she was accustomed to bake two or three dozen apple pies, which were to last her fami ly through the coming week. These she placed carefully on her pantry shelves labeled for each day of the week, so that Tuesday's pies might not be confused with Thursday's, nor thoee presumably large or intended for wash ing and sweeping days eaten when household labors were lighter. Aunt Hnpbzibah's "apple pie order" was known throughout the entire settle ment, and originated the well-known saving. It was once customary in France when a guest had stayed big welcome, for the host to set ye a cold shoulder of mutton, instead of a hot roast. This was the origin of the phrase "To give the cold shoulder." "None shall wear a feather but he who has killed a Turk" was an old Hungarian saying, and the number of leathers in bis cap indicated how many Turks the man had killed. Hence the origin of the saying with reference to a feather in one's cap. In one of the battles between the Russians and Tartars a private soldier of the former cried out, "Captain, I've caught a Tartar !" "Bring him along then," answered the officer. "I can't, for he won't let me," was the response. Upon investigation it was apparent that the captured had the captor -by the arm, and would not release him So "catching a tartar" is applicable to one who has found an antagonist too powerful for him. "Before you can say Jack Robinson" owes its origin to foolish John Robin son, who, when he called on his friends, always was in such a hurry that he would be off again, without giving his host more, than time to pronounce his name. When the Spanish armada came to the coast of England, many of the ships were driven by the fierce attacK of Drake and Howard and the fury of the elements north to the Helder river and South to the Skelder river the Scheld hence the expression "helter skelter." "Go to Halifax !" That town was a place of special terror for rogues be cause of the first rude guillotine in vented there by Mannaye for chopping off felons' heads. His ax law was that the criminal should be condemned first and inquired upon after." To "dun" a man for debt comes from the memory of Joe Dun, bailiff ot Lincoln, who was so keen a collector that his name becamo a proverb. The expression "He's a brick" is first - found in Plutarch. The whole phrase is expressive of every form of admiration. The Spartans, quick wit ted and noted for their repartee, were early trained in both schools. They were men of few words, and fewer laws, and embodied in short phrases their admiration, dislike or appreciation. Lycurgus was not only a man of few words but quick action. On being asked "should Sparta be enclosed ?" at invasion of the enemy being expected during the time of war, he replied : "A city is well fortified which has a wall of men instead of brick." A very clever story is told of the diplomatic misaon from the court of Epirus. The ambassador, being shown over the city by the king, expressed surprise that no walls were built around Sparta for its defense. "Walls?" cried the king. "Thou canst not have looked carefully. To-morrow we will go together and I will show you the walls of Sparta." On the following day the King led his guest to where his entire army was drawn up. Pointing with great pride to the magnificent body of men, he exclaimed: "There thou beboldest the walls of Sparta, and every man a brick." "By hook and by crook" Is an allu sion to an ancient manorial custom, which permitted the neighboring poor to take all the wood that they could reach and pull down from the forest trees, using only their sbepherd'scrook. How many of us who use or hear the familiar expression, "It was Hobson's cho:ce," are acquainted with the real sort of selection that Tobias Hobson offered his guests? This is the genu ine version of the tale : The said To bias Hobson was a Cambridge inn keep er, with forty horses In his stables, some better, of course, than others. When a traveler came to request, a mount he was obliged to take the steed that stood nearest the door, al though there were so many others ad vertised as for hire. If the traveler ob Educate Tow Bowel Wttli Candy Cathartic, oureoatipatiorever. ieXfc uaaC. rail, Uruggfct ntanS money. jected to that mount, all be could do was to wait until some other traveler had come for one, and so removed this and left its next door neighbor nearest the stable door. To "have the gift of gab" means the gift of the (use of the) mouth, "gab being the Scotch word for mouth. "Scot" means tax. To "go scot free," therefore, really means tax free, and hence, generally, to get off with out the imposition of any tax or for feiture, to escape entirely from any evil consequence of one's act. The Law Of Succession To The Presidency. - Atlanta Journal. Until 1886 the law of the succession to the presidency In case of the death, removal or jncapacity of the president provided that the vice president should come into the office. Next to him in the line of succession stood the presi dent pro tempore of the senate, that is the member of the senate who had been elected to preside over the proceedings of that body in the absence of the vice president. After the president pro tempore of the senate came the speaker of the bouse of representatives and beyond him there was no provision for succes sion. The defect and possible danger involved in this law were brought for cibly to the mind of the country in 1881 by the death of President Gar field and the conditions then existing. Vice-President Chester A. Arthur stepped promptly into the president's office, but the senate bad failed to elect a president pro tempore at It its last session and if President Arthur had died or in any way become incap able of performing the functions of the presidency a very uncertain and trying state of affairs would have ensued. In order to make the succession more stable congress in 1886 enaoted the present law regulating it. It is now provided that the vice president shall stand first in the line of succession as he did before, but both the president pro tempore of the sen ate and the speaker of the house of representatives . have been eliminated. The members of the cabinet have been placed in the line of presidential succession in the order of the creation of their offices, namely : 1. Secretary of state. 2. Secretary of the treasury. 3. Postmaster general. 4. Attorney general. 5. Secretary of the navy. 6. Secretary of the interior. The secretary of agriculture is not included, as his office had not been created at the time the act was passed. Before that the agricultural bureau was presided over by a commissioner, who had no seat in the president's cabinet. The argument used in sup port ot this legislation was that it pro vided a more secure succession to the presidency by adding more names to it and that it insured also that the policy of the administration would not be revolutionized, as it often would have been bad the president pro tempore of the senate or the speaker of the house stepped into the executive of fice. It ha? never happened that the presi dency has descended further than the vice president, but such a thing might happen and the wisdom of the new law Is generally recognized.

Y- 535 and f txo; a:i fcuggUu- ; . BEIIARKABLE FACT. GBOWTH OF THE EAES. It is Asserted That it Neyer Stops Until Death. Philadelphia Evening Post. The systematic examination of more than 40,000 pairs ot human ears in England and France has resulted in some Interesting conclusions. For one thing, it is ascertained that the ear continues to grow in the later decades of life ; in fact, it appears never to stop growing until death. It one will take tbe trouble to look around in any assemblage of people, as at church, he will discover that, the old folks have ears considerably larger than those of the middle-aged. A' woman who has small, shell-like ears at 20 years of age will be very apt to possess medium- sized ears at 40 years and large ears at 60. Why ears should go on growing all one's life, any more than noses, is a mystery. There are a good many other points about them that are In structive, their shapes being markedly persistent through heredity. An ear will be handed down, so to speak, from father to son for generation after generation with comparatively little modification. Some authorities on criminology assert that criminals are very apt to possess a peculiar kind of ear, which is recognized by an expert in such matters. There is probably nobody in the world who has a pair of ears perfectly matched ; in most people the two dif fer peceptibly not only in shape, but also in size. Frequently they are not placed precisely alike on the head. The age of a person may be judged with great accuracy by ths ears, which after youth is past assume an increas ing harshness of contour. A pretty woman whose first youth has departed may not show the fact in other ways, but these telltale features will surely tell the story of the flight of time. Then there is tbe little wrinkle that come3 j ust in front of each ear during the thirties a fatal and ineradicable Sign. Near the top of each, just within the down-turned edge and slightly toward tbe back, will be found, if one feels for it, a small lump of cartilage. This is a remnant ot what was originally tbe tip of the ear, when, ever so long ago, that organ in our remote an cestors had a point to it. Most of the apes to-day have pointed ears, but In human beings the upper edge of the organ has, in the course of ages, bet n folded over so as to cover the real tip Lewis Ockerman, Goshen, Ind : "De- Witt's Little Early Risers never bend me double like other pills, but do their work thoroughly and make me feel like a boy." Certain, thorough, gen tle. E. T. Whitehead & Co. A Group of Mottoes. Selected. Over the triple door ways of Milan Cathedral there are three inscriptions spanning the splendid arches. Over one is carved a beautiful wreath of roses, and underneath are the words "All that which pleases is but tor a moment." Over another is sculptured a cross, and these are the words "All that which troubles is but for a mom ent." But underneath the great central entrance to tbe main isle is the in scription "That only is important which is eternal." If we realize always these truths, we shall not let trifles trouble us, nor be interested so much in tbe passing pageants of the hour. We should live, as we do not now, for the permanent and the eternal. OLD SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCE. M. M.

If you should see a fellow-man with trouble's flag unfurled, An' lookin' like he didn't have a friend in all the world, Go up and elap him on the back, and holler, "How'd you do?" And grasp bis hand so warm he'll know he has a friend in you. Then ax him what's a-burtln' him, an' laugh his cares away, An' tell him the darkest night Is just before the day. Don't talk in graveyard palaver, but say it right out loud, That God will sprinkle sunshine in the trail of every cloud. This world at best is but a hash of pleasure and ot pain ; Some days are bright and sunny, and some all sloshed with rain, And that's just how it ought to be, for when tbe clouds roll by We'll know just bow to 'preciate'll e bright and smiling sky. So learn to take it as it enmes, and don't sweat at the pores Because the Lord's opinion don't coin cide with yours ; But always keep rememberin' when cares your path enshroud, That God has lots of sunshine to spill behind tbe cloud.
