There is nothing that bas a more deleter ious effect upon the cardiac or heart nerves than the excessive use itobacco. Pain and tenderness around the eart, an oppressive fee'incr jn the chest, choking sensation in the throat, discomfort from sleeping on the left side and smothering spells at night when the sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are the most common symptoms of a weak heart. Smokers who feel these symptoms and who do not understand their meaning should be ivarned in time, by the following experience: "I was greatly troubled with an affection of the heart, due I think to excessive smoking. On writing to you for advice I was directed to begin a course of treatment which in cluded Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, Dr. Miles' Nervine and Nerve and l.iver Pills, together with bathing, etc. I faithfully followed the directions given ?nd am pleased to say that jny cure is complete and permanent. Ee iore beginning the use of your remedies I iras so nervous I could not keep my hands still and suffered greatly from severe pains iround the heart. Many times at night I ould be forced to assume a sitting posture to get my breath, and for the time being it ould seem as though my heart had stopped Deating. From the splendid results achieved ii my easel can cheerfully recommend Dr. flies' Heart Cure, Restorative Nervine and other remedies to all sufferers from heart or ervous troubles."

He confessed to having fallen into the habit now one. This Confessed It Is Ugly. more people of real intelligence would think of it and speak of it as this well-read gentleman did, the habit would come into such disfavor that decent men would stop it altogether. 1 X t I The Raleigh Evening Times gives the following information concerning some bills that are to be introduced in the coming Legislature : For Compulsory Education. be introduced in the North Carolina Legislature, providing for conpulsory education. He says the sentiment among the laboring men is in favor of such a law, and that the Legislature will be given a chance to put itself on record in the matter. The order is absolutely non-partisan- He savs a bill will also be introduced, placing the American flag over every school house. Such bills will also be introduced in the Tennessee Legislature and other states, where the order has strength. As he put it, 'The order is behind these measures. It is getting together.'" tut Editor Marshall of the Gastonia Gazette'runs a query and answer col umn in which he answers questions of various import. To the question Yes, It Might Help. follows : "When used right, it most certainly does. Some people attach it to a string around the child's neck. But that Is -not enough. In addition to two or three little bags full attached to the string and worn -next to the skin,. let your children carry a quantity of aseafcetida in all the pockets they have, and also sprinkle it freely on their shoes every morning. Write to the teacher to keep the room moderately warm, and after about a half day all the other pupils will voluntarily stay so lur away that your children will not be in the least danger of catching anything from them but hints." - 't ;;. - 4 ' A recent issue of the Manufacturer.,' Record gives the following informa tion about copper mines in this State : - .. "Articles of incorporation have been filed TTnrt.li Carolina. Comer . ttl ilVBa - , t i v of which $75,0C0 has been subscribed by New York and North Carolina In vestors. The company will develop copper mines on which considerable preliminary work has already been done. A Bhaft has been sunk to the depth of 72 feet. At 59 feet from th a surface there is a vein which was followed by another shaft. for 65 feet, and it is reported that a seven and one-half foot yein of copper is exposed. The company's incorporators are Messrs. H. D. Sanders of Putney, N. Y. ; S. M. Bradley of Morehead, Ky. ; W. L. Thurber, A. J. Thurber, D. M. Holiday and M. W. Parrish of Ash boro.N.C." The Biblical Recorder makes the following Interesting obseryations con cerning temperance progress in North Carolina : "The Revenue Department having issued its 0vTmBmsmVngtm firgt time in session of information about the effect of the Watts Act upon the distillery busines in North Carolina. It appears from the report that the number of grain distilleries was reduced from 302 to 78. North Carolina ranked 1902 first in number ot distilleries. She now ranks fourth. The num ber of retail licenses was reduced from 1,185 to 817 ; of wholesale licenses from 59 to 52. On the other hand, the number of brandy distilleries In creased from 442 to 462. The Watts Act permits the manufacture of brandy. The amount ol corn used by the distilleries was reduced from 228,714 bushels to 145,436. Two hundred and fifty-two illicit distilleries were found in the State. When we consider this information in the light of the fact that bar rooms have been prohibited in twenty-five cities and towns, we perceive that the cause of temperance has made more progress in North Carolina in a year than in any previous year in all our history. The statement that t! d are i now 817 retail liquor licenses offective in North Carolina puzzles us. We know that there are not halt that many bar rooms." t t t t This is the question frequently asked concerning the work of the Gener al Assembly which is soon to meet in Raleigh. One has a suggestion for one thing and another for another ; and now and What Is There to Do. - one 8aggests that it would be a good thing for the State it the members would just stay at home and draw' their pay. One man recently suggested that we ought not have elections for the General Assembly of tener than four years and that the Assembly meet only once in tour year", leaying it to the Governor to call the Legislature to gether whenever he sees a need for any legislation. Well, we do not know that either of the suggestions is wise ; but when it comes to the question of elections we quite agree that we do not need them often. And as to the work for the General Assembly it looks like we are getting along pretty well now. There is some dissatisfaction with the divorce laws ; but 1 should not take long to amend the statutes on this matter. But the law makers will doubtless find enough to do to keep' them busy tor the sixty days. Doubtlees they will do some things that will be wise, and following the precedent of most Legislatures they will also doubtless do some things that are unwise. Let us believe that most of the men who compose thei new body are earnest men and that they will do their full duty to the State as they see it. NO MORE SUFFERING. If you are troubled with indigestion get a bottle ol Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and see how quickly it will cure you. Geo. A. Thomson, of Spencer, la., says : "Have had dyspepsia for twenty years. My case was almost hopeless. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure was recommended and I used a few bottlesot it and It Is the only thing that has relieved me. Would not be without it. Have doctored with local physicians and also at Chicago, and even went to Norway with hopes of getting some relief, but Kodol Dys nepeia Cure is the only remedy that lias done me any good, and I heartily recommend it.

How About It, Boys? r N. E. Leonard, in Arricnltnralist. Did you lift your hat when meeting or parting with mother, sister or other women ot your acquaintance on the street? Does that same troublesome headcovering come off the Instant you enter the house, or when you are ac knowledging a lavor? It should. Do you know that . It is common politeness to allow a woman to precede you when entering a room unless she requests you to go first? Do you always remember to wait for women and older people to be seated first? Straight in the face is that the way you look at people when they are speaking to you? Remember to do it. Are you aware that it is improper to play with knife, fork or spoon at the table or to gather up your napkin in bnnch ? Jot these pointers down in your minds, boys. They are the little things that make for good breeding and ease in the society ot others. How Animals Prepare for Winter. Noveaber Woman's Home Companion. The best-known example'; of such active preparation is probably that of the beavers, which firstmake a pond by damminga stream and throwing water back over land that was formerly dry. The beavers first cut down trees, with their sharp, chissel-sbaped incisor teeth', and float them down stream to the point at which they "wish to build- the dam. Brush Is also floated down, and with the addition of stones and mud the structure is made solid and water proof. In the-pond thus made the beavers erect staunch huts, chiefly of brush, with roots well above the sur face of the water,' and jdoorways well below it. , In these dwillings the litle animals live all winter, from time to time swimming tint under the lee in search of aquatic 'plan ts or the bark of trees And shrubs growing near the- wa-l ter. When this food talis or is unat tainable the beavers fall back on the bark of birch and other saplings whiob they earned down-to the bottom of the pond and stored away near their huts iu the autumtt.

An Absolute Cor for Rheumatism At Last Discovered, After years of experiment a remedy has been discovered that not only re lieves but absolutely cures rheumatism to stay cured This medicine is non alcoholic, contains no opium, mercury or other injurious drug, and has none of the faults of the old "remedies" that fail to cure. This new remedy, RHEUMACIDE, eures the terrible disease by cleansing the blood of the acids and germs that cause Rheumatism and other blood dis eases. RHEUMACIDE "Gets at the Joints from the Inside." That is the reason that It cures Rheumatism alter all other remedies have failed. It tones np the stomach and builds up the entire system. Your druggists sell and recommend Rbeumacide. Politeness. Forward. ' v I never liked Judge JR said a young man speaking of a well-known eitizen. "Oh, no. Nothing against his character in the general sense, nor against his conduct In office, but only a little inoldent back in my boyhood which brought a prejudice that has lasted. He was & judge even then, and I was only one of a group of little fellows playing marbles on the side walk. We bad chalked our ring ana were deep in our game when he came walking - along, kicked our marbles right and left, and said, sharply : 'You haye no business to be playing here, boys.' We were on ground sacred to pedestrians, no doubt, but it would have cost him little to turn out a step and left us to our innocent enjoy ment, as many another passerby had done. It was years ago, but all my life since has but made me more sure that there is not so much happiness in the world that one can afford to spoil any of it needlessly. It's a poor path and a poor spirit that cannot turn a lttle out of Us way rather than spoil another's enjoyment." Ibt Kind Yoa HawMwjys Bought BMiatka Jl For Father and Mother. I Selected. Do not mother at your housework, father in your study do not be always "too busy." The little heart wants an outlet.the upraised rosebud wants a kiss, the little hearts have something to tell you, a little grief to bring, a small joy, a game of play expected now and then. Ah, beware! These require ments will Blacken and cease, if it be too often, "Now, run away, dear; father is busy." "Don't be trouble some, dear ; mother must do her work." Ot cour36 there must be checks some times; of course oyer iudulsence is worst unkindcess. But be not, as a rule, repellent, unsympathetic ; they will go elsewhere, after a while, with their little confidences, their little wants, their little loeses, their little griefs and joys, their little winning ways, with the refreshment of their pure, delightful being. Perhaps you will be sorry then then, when the mischief is done sorrv when the new toy is no longer, as a matter of course, brought first to "father" to pee ; when the toddling tot seeks elsewhere than to "mother" for drying of tears, when the patter of unsteady feet always passes your door. Ah, you will be sorry then that you were so foolish, sorry you scared the birds a way. Francis Scott Key. Francis Scott Key ws born in 177f , was a native ot Maryland. During the war of 1812 he went under a flag of truee to the British fleet in Chesapeake Bay to ask the release of a friend. The admiral detained him with the fleet for two days to prevent his carrying ashore information. The. British admiral had declared that be would soon compel the Americans to haul down the fl g of Fort McHecry. During the nlgbt Key watched the flag anxiously until the bombardment ceased, sometime be fore daylight. When be saw that our flag was "still there," his joy foun t vent in some hastily scribbled notes on the back of an old letter. He put them into above verse while returning to Bal timore Selected.
