A man or woman either can tct a ben, although, they cannot sit-ber: aeitber can they eet on her, ahiiouub the hen might sit on them by tie hour if they would allow it. A man cannot eet on the wash bencb, but be could set the basin on it, and aeither the basin nor the grammarians vocld object. ; - He could sit on the dog's tail if the log were willing or he might set hie foot on it. But if he should set on the aforesaid tail or sit his foot there - the grammarians as well as the dog A'ould howl, metaphorically at least. ; And yet the man might set the tail aside and then eit down and be assailed aeither by the dog nor by the gramma rians. . , The advantage which the rural dis tricts derive from the telephone service is yery great. Farmers all through the country in many States are comins more and more in touch with the vorld through the telephone. The Atlanta Journal says tbat North Carolina is moving in the front in the matter of telephone service. Our Home, of Marshall, N. C., makes tne following observation for Union jounty : "Union county's telephone -system probably surpasses that of any othei jounty in the state, especially in the rural districts. . There are ; in the county ten telephone exchanges and ?ix of these are in the country. The iotal number of .'phones in the county is 542, and 295 of these are in to ms and 217 in the country ; and the system is yet in its infancy in the rur ii distrfcts. At the present rateot in crease the number of phones in. the county will probably be increased 100 ier cent, within the next twelve months and it is only a question of -hort time before this county will - be i network of wires and almost every farmer Will have a 'phone in his house. The telephone system, together with rural free delivery of mails, will rev olutionize things in favor of country life, rendering it less isolated and more attractive. Even now all impor tant news is transmitted to every pari A the county as soon as it ocurrs. Two aours after President McKlnley was hot at Buffalo, the affair was being talked about by our . farmers through their neighborhood exchanges. Dur ng the recent congressional convention it Monroe farmers sat in their homes ind received the ballots as they . were caBt for . the various candidates and many of them knew who the nominee was before the first applause from the friends of the successful candidate had subsided." r- Maitland, Fla., October lOtb, 1901 The Hancock Liquid Sulphur Co., ' - - Baltimore.

The poor girl thinks It's positively wicked for a man to marry for money. When a man goes at things bead first he often gets there with both feet. Wise is the man who can give a wo man advice without incurring her en mity. Talk is cheap ; yet some people will give up a dollar to bear a tiresome lec ture. . M ' , " "" According to the small boys's version a thin slice of cake is better than no bread. ' A true Christian is a man who loves bis neighbor's small boy as he doe himself. ' Many a young man has been cured of palliation of the heart by marrying the girl. Religion as a rule flourishes better in connection with adversity (ban wiln prosperity. When two men are unable to agree they usually leave it to the man be hind the bar. Many a man makes a fool ol b imseli because he hasn't the moral courage to do otherwise. In England gentlemen often ride to hounds ; in this country they frequent ly go to the dogs. , If poverty is ever abolished every bachelor will either have to marry cr tct as his own servant. A Kentucky paper mentions a yawning oil well" in that state Somebody must have been boring it. If acme people did nothing but mind their own business they would oon become rather narrow-minded. It is but natural that the boarding school girl would rather board tban keep house after she is married.' Probably a married - man shows his years more tban a bachelor because he has to carry a few of his wife's. It isn't until after a boy has cele brat ad his 8th birthday anniversary that he begins to notice bis father's igno-j rouce. Many a man would be happy if he could only get a divorce from his mother.m-law without severing his other domestic lies. A woman seldom believes anything her husband says about her, but she believes every word he says about oth er women. - , Job evidently had no desire for fickle fame. He was in a position to win out as a manufacturer of profane history out he didn't. - It is just-like a woman to be mad with her husband for wanting to smoke in a room with lace curtains and yet to be proud of him for being able to do what It would nearly kill her to try.

It used to be turry !" and the cry is as old as England, says the i hlladelpbia Inquirer. It is the battle cry of the old Norse Viking as they swept down to burn and murder among the peaceful English. "Tur a'.e !" was their war cry. which "means 'Thor aid !" an appeal for help to Tbor, the god of battles. "It's all humbug I" Perhaps it is. Humbug is the Irish -"trim bog," pro nounced" humbug, meaning . x bogus money. Kipg James II coined worth less money from bis mint at Dublin, bis 20 shilling piece being worth two pence. Tne people caned it "mm bog." It was a Rbmao gentleman of 2,000 yean ago who first asked" where the shoe ! pinches." He had just divorced : his wife and his iriflnds wanted to know what was the matter with the woman. They declared she was good and pretty Now," said the husband taking off bis shoe, "isn't that a nice shoe? It's a good shoe, eh 7 A pretty shoe eh ? A new. shoe, eh ? - And none of yob can tell where it pinches me." "Before you can say Jack Robinson" arose from the behavior of one John Robinson. He was a fool. He was in such a hurry . when be called on-bis friends that he would be off, before he bad well knocked at the door. "There they, go, helter skelter!' That phrase was coined at the defeat of the Spanish 'armada. The great fleet of the Spanish invasion was driven by storm and stress of the- English at tack north to the Helder River and south to the SkelderRiyer the Scheldt Do you know why a bare is called "puss?", This is not a riddle, but just an example of how words get twisted. The ancient Latin for a bare was "le pus." The Norman knights who came over with William the Conqueror pro; nounced the "word Vie puss." The puss he remains today. "Go to Halifax !' That town; war? placo of special terror for rogues. because of the first rude guilotine in vented there by Mannaye for chopping off felons' heads. Halifax law was that the criminal "should be condemned first and inquired upon after." Con venlry bad a queer law in old times by which none but freemen of the city could practice a trad9 there. Strangers were starved out. Hence the phrase for shutting a man out of human com pany "sent to conventry." "Spick and span" comes from the "spikes'' and "spanners" the hooks and stretch era for stretching cloth new from the loom. To "dun a man for debt comes from memory of Joe Dun, baliff of Lincoln, who was so keen a collector that his name has become a proverb. ;t ' .. "News" is a queer word the initials of North, East, West, South, which appeared on the earliest journals as a sign that information was to be had bere from the four, quarters of the world. The sign was N E W S and gave us our word ''news." : The Mother's Loving Eyes. One ol the greatest artists tells a story of his school days. He was the. son of a widow and he was sent to a gram mar school and only once a month could he see and speak to his mother. But she loved him so dearly and so de sired to be near him tbat she took a house which overlooked the school playground and every day, when tbe boys were at their games, she was watching at the window. He soon toucd it out and from tbat time he was ashamed to do anything wrong or mean. He always thought of those loving eyes ; they seemed to be watch ing him even in his chamber and it helped to keep him straight and true. Boys, God's love is stronger than a mother's, and if we were to go to Afri ca orChina His love would still follow us. He is always watching us. Let us not do anything that we can not, ask His blessing on. It seems won derful power, does it not,vto know and see all and hear all?

AU Hay Practice It. - A few days since I was present ai small luncheon party of ladies, and I noticed with some surprise the scant courtesy they showed one another dur ing conversation.. One of the party would start to say something, and be fore she bad finished another would break in with another topic, only to be Interrupted in turn. I must conTese that I was a bit surprised, for all these women were supposed to be wel!-bied, and yet tbey were disregarding one of the simplest rules of polite behavior. A little later, I was calling an some friends, and I noticed the same thing Each member of the family would in terrupt the others, - and the iuterrup tion were considered quite as a matter of conree. Then I understood the si', uation belter, and put the bTame just where'; it V; be'Onged on the lack of home training. If the mother growe careless afld allows her enlldfen to con tract the habit of interrupting one an other constantly, she must not be sur prised if this habit is carried beyond the home circle and her children show in society the result cf indul genca of though tles303ss. The habit is one ol the. most un pleasant that can be contracted, and the fact that it is such a common ote does not make it or.S bit the better or the more excusable. . It is a habit that grows on one unconsciously, , if one loes not keep close watch. It shouldJmatned silent. Then with the f.illy e the care of the mother in" tbe home io teach ber children respect for one an other, and insist upon that courtesy of treatment which she expects them to give to strangers. - Unless politeness is a habit, it will never be a grace. It must be ingrained j and the teaching mnnot be begun too early, I wish the girls would keep a little watch upon themselves to see wbeiber they have fallen into the pernicious habit, and, if tbey have, just go to work to break themselves of it at once It may eeem a little thing, but it is one of the indication's of fine breeding to treat every one with tbe respect due to him a an individual.-Golden Rule. The Effect of the Newspaper. Concord Standard. An observant mind and student of human nature has no little trouble to formulate rules and discover tle prin ciples underlying the apparently ca pricious results of newspaper discussion oi individuals.' ; It would seam that some think an attack on the record of a candidate for public office tends ' to secure bis election. In a recent instance con spicuous before tbe State a cumber of able assailants are accredited with se curing a nomination. Tbe discussion was fairly free from appearance of per secution and certainly seemed well calculated to effect the purpose, yet they did not. Now some will say the attacks through the newspapers effected tbe end tbey were intended to defeat. Others however may be more logical in the claim tbat the results were in spite of and not on account of 'these efforts. It is strangely true that there is in many human beings a tendency, when injustice is done one on one hand, to fly to him and do the rest of humanity an injustice in partiality to him. This reflects very unfavorably on tbe specimens of such mental build. But to say that straight forward and fair ex- oosnre in the newinaueis ol one's re ccrf , for the purpose cf showing h:s unfitness tor office, effects him favorab ly seems to repudiate all influences a newspaper save possibly for purposes of taffying. It places tbe mind of men outside ofjbe pale . of reasoning beings and ranks them as machines of passion and impulse. ' We hope we are not mistaken in the belief that the press is a power that makes men lear to act badly and tbat helps the public to know the men for whom they vote and that they are not instruments of opposite effects fo that which is sought. . - MeDUFFIE'S Witch Hazel Foot Healer is one of the finest baby pow nn 4t Uo.

Here is a suggest! vS iticldent related illustrating bow at times silence may be a jrreater power for good tban any other agency : A yotmg man' st chaUing with some giddy girls Among I liem was a sweet, quiet yorr woman known as a Christian. The voting man, thinking to te.ise her, banterel her alout her religion. f tie silly fti rls ti t tered. bat the object of his mirth re- of youth, and recklessness of impiety, he uttered many infidel objections to Christianity. She did not f mi'e, nor look at him, nor seem to notice him. Then be continued his harangue, hop ing to force her to refute something. But 'he maintained the same "sweet, dignified silence. A vision of his own stupidity broke ovrtb j'oung man and convicted b!m of sin. He said afterwards, telling the story, "That si lance saved me." - . i - 1 - Sound Pegs ia Square Holes.
