Blue For 18 Years. (ev and Observer.) What school boy has not prided himself upon being: able to name the five colors, or races, of men white, yellow, brown, red and black? These were all the colors ascribed to men in the geographies that were studied by the men of today, and the school boys of the present are still saying: "The five races of men are the white; or Caucasian; the yellow.or Mongoli an; the brown, or Malay: the red, or Indian; the black, or Negro." And insofar as it pertains to races this is correct. But the catalogue will have to be revised to make it correct as to colors. Another color must bs addod. Johnston county Can justly lay claim to the distinction of having 'perhaps the only decidedly blue man living. And while he is, as one ex pressed it, "a perfect huckleberry blue," he is really blue only as to color. He was seen in Raleigh yes terday, and far from showing a dis position to bemoan his fate or to succumb to despondency or melan choly, he was cheerful and appar ently happy and was not at all reti cent when questioned by the curious. In fact he seems to thoroughly ap preciate the fact that his remarkable peculairity of color is calculated to excite the curiositj of those who see him for the first time. There is no thing "blue" about him but the color of bis skin. But this is decidedly blue. The remarkable man is Mr. James Weaver, who resides in Bentonville township, near the Sampson line, in Johnston county. He has been here this week attending Federal court as a witness and returned home yes terday. Co-incidentally, his former physician, Dr. R. H. McLean, of Dunn, R. F. D. No. 9, was here yesterday also. From them the wonderful story of the man was gathered, 'and the cause of his remarkable color was learned. It is not a freak of na ture. , - Mr. Weaver is now about forty one years of age. Until he was eighteen years old his color was na tural. But for twelve "years prior to that time he had been subject to epileptic fits. Several hundred dol lars had been spent in efforts to ob tain relief, but in vain. Dr. McLean took the case in charge and told him he thought a cure could be effected but that the means would probably result in a change of the color of his skin. Mr. Weaver consented and the physician put him on a course of treatment that did the work. Nitrate of silver was prescribed and used. Mr. Weaver said yesterday that he had never had a return of the trouble since the second application, and though it rendered his skin per fectly blue, he said, "I would not be in the condition I was in before for five thousand dollars. And the treat ment cost me only sixteen dollars. Some have said they had rather have the fits than to have my color, but they don't know. The color of a man's skin is no disgrace. It is the color of his heart that counts." Dr. McLean said that he had never known the treatment to fail to cure epileptic fits, but it usually turns the skin dark. However, he said, it sel dom renders it so dark as in this case. Abraham Lincoln, the martyred president is credited with having said: "Don't worry; eat three square meals a day; say your prayers; be courteous to your creditors; exercise; go slow and go easy. May be there are other things that your special case requires to make you happy but my friend, these I reckon will give you a good lift. A well-to-do Pennsylvania farmer, who had sent his son to Philadelphia to begin life as a clerk, wrote to the merchant in whose employ he was, asking how the boy was getting along and where he slept nights. The merchant replied: "He sleeps in the store day lime. I don't know where he sleeps nights." People frequently ask concerning certain practices. Is there any harm in this? This carries two suggestions: First, if it be right, why ask such a question? Second, why not look at it from the other side, and ask if there is eny good in it? Every expression of conduct must be either good or evil. "Ah, pater, I am no end glad to be home from college." "What's that?" "I am jolly well pleased, y'know." "Hank, clean out the old stall! There's a new critter on the place." Louisville Courier-Journal. Remarkable Rescue. That truth is stranger than fiction, has once more been demonstrated in the litlte town of Fedora, Tenn., the residence of C. V. Pepper. He writes: "I was in bed, entirely disabled with hemorrhages of the lungs and throat. Doctors failed to help me, and all hope had fled when I began taking Dr. King's Xew Discovery. Then instant relief came. The coughing soon ceased ; the bleeding diminished rapidly, and in three weeks I was able to go to work." Guaranteed cure for coughs and colds. .r0c. and $1.00, at E. T.

To prevent lock jaw, from nail in foot and such causes, is to frequent ly bathe the pai t in hot smoke of burning woolen rags. To euro h0rs3 or cow that al- ! ready has lock jaw, is to take a thick board, one that will not split, and place it smoothly on and against the forehead, then take an axe and hit the board hard enough to knock the animal down the first lick, and it will get up With its jaws unlocked.

Among the applications Of power at long distance from Kb source is the lighting ef the Interior passages and chambers of the Great Pyramids by electric currents generated at the cataract of Assouan, several hun dred miles away.

The working force of the Ameri can Patent office, according to a wri ter in the Engineering and Mining Journal, is about one-half what it should be. There are no digests of the granted patents. An applicant cannot find out for himself what is new and what old, except at an ex cessive expense. If ho could do so at moderate cost in advance of making his application, a large percentage of the official work of examination would be saved. Drop of Air.

SstQe, Three ways are used by farmers for curing and preparing their to bacco for the market; namely sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and im proved way is called flue cured. In flue curing the tobacco is taken from the fields and racked in barfls especially built to retain heat and there subjected to a continuous high temperature, produced by the direct heat of flame heated flues, which brings out in the tobacco that stimulating taste and aroma that expert roasting develops in green coffee. These similar processes give to both tobacco and coffee the cheer ing and stimulating quality that pop ularizes their use. The quality of tobacco depends much on the curing process and the kind of soil that produces it, as ex pert tests prove that this flue cured 1!. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, WlNSTON-SALEM, K. C.
