It is everyone's duty to be busy God intended it. . When our useful ness is done, He will remove us. Do not idle your time away; it is a sin aeainst God, yourself and your com munity. The men who have won success are men who know the value of every minute. Think of such a man as Gladstone who carried a little book in his pocket lest he let a mom ent slip from his grasp. At no time in history has there been such opportunity for study. There- are hundreds of high-class publications devoted particularly to every science and business. These are bought at ridiculously small prices, considering the labor and quality of the information contained and from these can be obtained many hints for your advancement and im provement. Just devote a few hours each week to the study of some sub ject and you will perceive the good of the admonition of this article. Many young men and women are go ing up, step by step, by such means. It is the moment here and there that makes you go up tha ladder of suc cess. There is no excuse for the man or woman to shoulder the responsi bility of their ignorance on the fact that they could not secure the ad vantage of a college education. A college education is a great help, but some of America's most distinguish ed scholars and thikers gained their wonderful knowledge by a course of study during spare moments. Lin coln made use of his spare moments, and hundreds of business men have arisen in the business world to the eminence attained by Lincoln in the political world by diligent study and persistency of purpose. If you are in business, master the details. The little things of life and business is the criterion of our future acquisi tions. There is not a day but that offers some opportunity for learning some thing of value unless you happen to be one of those wise persons who know all. Merchant's Journal. Air In Bedroom. j Every sensible person is aware that the bedroom should be well ventilated, especially in view of the heavy combustion of oxygen in the lungs during sleep. All windows should be open from the top at least six inches, so that a gentle current of air can be felt blowing across the face. Night air is just as pure and wholesome as day air. Night's fogs and rain are only injurious in so far as they frighten you into shutting 1 T j 1 . I your windows, jno air mar, ever blew outdoors is so dangerous or poisonous as that inside a bedroom with closed vindows. The clothing should be as light as is consistent with warmth, the mat tress elastic but firm, the pillow on ly moderately high, so that it will keep the neck and head horizontal or slightly above, when lying on the side. The good, hard, common sense of humanity has solved all these problems, and the modern hair mat tress and warm blankets can hardly be much improved on. Beyond these there is no virtue whatever in hard beds, flat or no pillows and cold Lkedrooms. The stuffy feather bed, collector of the prespiration and dis eases of successive generations; the bolster, the eiderdown quilt, the hard, sailcloth-life counterpane, both airtight and the latter heavy as a board, have gone to the attic or the ash heap, where they belong, along with the four-poster and its curtains, the night cap and the warming pan. New York Weekly. Government's Monument for Confeder ate Graves. In the national cemetery at Salem, N. J., are the graves of nearly 2, 500 Confederate soldiers who died in the prison at Fort Deleware. The records are so imperfect that many of the graves cannot be indentified. For this reason the government will erect one monument to all the Con federate dead buried there, instead of placing individual headstones. Col. William C. Oates, the commis sioner for marking the graves of Confederate soldiers buried in Fed eral cemeteries, has just opened the bids for this monument, which is to be of granite and to cost $8,500. Thus again does the Federal govern ment honor the memory of the Con federate dead, as it is just and prop er that the whole country should do. Charlotte Observer.

THE HOUSE FLY. Its Menace A Bearer of Sickness and Deatb Wherever it Goes. Man's victory over his larger liv ing foes is so complete that he is liable to regard himself the unas sailable lord of the earth. The mas todon fell before him centuries ago, and the lion and elephant are his easy prey to-day. Even the great snakes and sea monsters have disappeared from the regions he has claimed, and in the air he seems to have no more foes at all. But as a matter of fact, there are still some strenuous wars ahead of him if he is to remain the master of the world. What the mastodon could not do the pneumococcus may accomplish. What the python and jackal attempted, the rat, the mos quito and the house fly may achieve. It is only in recent years that the menace of these apparently puny foes has been understood. Twenty years ago it was believed that malaria was caused by foul air. To-day we know it is transmitted by the anophles maculipennio, a mosquito. We know, too, that the stegornyia fasci ata, another mosquito, transmits yellow fever, that the testes fly car ries the germs of the sleeping sick ness, and that the rat is the bearer of the bubonic plague. Knowing these things, we war upon the mos quito, testes fly, and the rat and already the effect is enormous. Ma laria is dying out in the world and yellow, fever has disappeared from this worst pest-holes. In Africa the sleeping sickness is about to yield, and in the Far East the bubonic plague grows less and less. But there yet remains another bearer of sickness and death the common house fly and the maladies that he carries still rage. Tuberculosis is one of them, and others are typhoid fever, pneumonia, and the terrible disorders of summer. The fly, of course, does not cause these dis eases himself, but he carries the germs that do. He walks in filth, and the microscopic organisms stick to his feet. A moment later he in vades the dining room. Weeks af terwards there is illness in the house, and may be death. A great war upon the house fly is now being organized. It has the support of health officers in all the States, and it deserves the active aid of every citizen. It will go slow ly, no doubt, at the start, for the public does not adopt novel prophy- latic measures eagerly witness the long opposition to vaccination but in the end it is certain, a house or a city infested by filthy, disease-breed ing flies will be regarded by all as a house or city disgraced. The fly has no excuse for existence. He is absolutely useless and utterly vile. Baltimore Sun. Senators in Business. Senator LaFollette's example in refusing to vot on the lead schedule of the tariff bill because he has mon ey invested in a lead mine has not been catching. It was probably the inspiration for the inquiry made by the New York Evening Post to as certain how far Senators are pecun iarily interested in their votes. It sent letters of inquiry to all except Mr. Lorimer, who was elected too late, and got answers from 45. With these answers and other information, the Post presents the following cata logue of Senators according to avo cations and other more or less perti nent characteristics: Farmers, 10. Merchants, 4. Corporation lawyers, 27. Lawyers without special leanings, 21. Bankers and holders of bank stocks, 21. Manufacturers, 11. Holders of railway stocks, 26. Holders of steamship interests, 6. Holders of mining interests, 17. Holders of lumber interests, 9. Connected with public utility cor porations, 8. Owners of large tracts of land, 9. Rated as poor men, 10 Rated as millionaires, at least 22. Indefinitely reported to have lean ings toward corporations, 16. The post takes up each Senator separately and in detail. Curious constituents may find a dull hour take flight unexpectedly by compar ing these biographies with the re cords or votes on the schedules. National Monthly. Billions? Feil heavy after dinner?

From your children's earliest infancy, inculcate the necessity of instant obedience. 2. Unite firmness with gentle ness. Let your children always un derstand that you mean exactly what you say. 3. Never promise them anything, unless you are quite sure you can give them what you promise. 4. If you tell a little child to do something, show him how to do it, and see that it is done. 5. Always punish your children for wilfully disobeying you, but never punish them in anger. 6. Never let them perceive that they can vex you, or make you lose your self-command. 7. If they give way to petulance and temper, wait till they are calm, and then gently reason with them on the impropriety of their conduct. 8. Remember that a little present punishment when the occasion arises is much more effectual than the threatening of a greater punishment should the fault be renewed. 9. Never give your children any thing because they cry for it. 10. On no account allow them to do at one time, what you have for bidden under the like circumstance at another. 11. Teach them that the only sure and easy way to appear good is to be good. 12. Accustom them to make their little recital with perfect truth. 13. Never allow to tale-bearing. 14. If your children abuse your confidence, make them, for a time at least, fell the want of it. 15. Avoid allusions to former faults, when real sorrow has been evinced for having committed them. 10. Remember the importance of instilling good habit while your chil dren are young. The habit of per sevrance is very important. Select ed. Getting Your Part of the Trade. Of course there are many ways to reach the people; the important thing is to reach them and reach them ji ten. In this day of active competi tion, there are many stores selling the same article and the matter of price doesn't decide every time where the buyer will go. The wise buyer is ever on the lookout for the best bargains and he appreciates being told where to find them. If it wasn't for being accused of showing parti ality, we might keep them pasted for you. That's one of the troubles and so the best way for you, Mr. Mer chant, is to buy a little space in the Ansonian. It is read every week by 2,000 Anson county families. Sup poses these families spend an average of $250 each in the stores of Anson county, and that is a reasonable es timate, you see they all spend not less than $500,000 half a million. Does your business need any of that amount? Are the successful mer chants of Wadesboro and other An son county towns getting most of this by advertising? If you will com pare their trade with the amount of printer's ink they use, you'll think like we do; it pays. Wadesboro An sonian. Stop Running Around With so Many Subscription Papers. Objects of real charity always meet a ready response from the peo ple of Wadesboro and Anson county generally, but there is a growing disposition among some people to rush out with a subscription blank every time a neighbor loses a mule by death or accident or has a slight fire. Many people give something to these causes in order to get rid of them, and in some instances, the per son for whom themoney is being made up, could buy a dozen of those who contribute to the fund. This is not fair and has a demoralizing ef fect upon real charity. Suppose a mill owner loses a few hundred dol lars by an accident in his mill or a merchant has a fire, who thinks of giving him money to make the loss good? Now very few mill owners, or merchants' either, make more than a living out of the businesses they operate. It looks so much like putting a premium on poverty which, in so many cases, is due to down right slothf ulness and bad manage ment. Wadesboro Ansonian. A Night Rider's Said.

Called the State of Columbia and Gov erned by Boy Citizens. The Columbia Park Boys Club of San Francisco has hit upon a unique plan by which a number of city boys get, besides the privileges of a vaca tion outing, 1 he training of citizen ship under the discipline of a self governing community. The "State of Columbia," as its camp is called, has a government al most as complex as the great State of California; but there are no po licemen, says Recreation, no secret service men, no courts, no ward heelers. Besides a ?core of other secretaries and commissioners the State of Co lumbia can boast of a secretary of recreation, who makes general plans for the sports, entertainments and camp fire programmes. The daily life in this picturesque state is simi lar to the routine of a military camp. Reveille is blown at 6:15, after which the "citizens" assemble for the flag raising exercises and physical drill. Breakfast over work is carried on in most of the classes until 10:45. During the morning it is often neces sary to hold various rehearsals. Citizens are excused for these by written order from the recreation de partment. Band practice is held for an hour each morning. At 12:15 the boys assemble and march up to the tables for lunch, after which there is no work except in the kitch en department, and at 2 everybody leaves to participate in whatever games the recreation department has planned. Marching cross country is often in order, and sometimes a neighboring town is favored with a minstrel show. Dress call for the evening meal is blown at 5:15. The evening is spent in play and military exercises. The constitution of the Stale of Columbia is an interesting document. If the boys do not grow up to be good citizens it is not" the fault of their minature government. One difficulty (a very old complaint with all governments) is to enforce the laws. The president writes: "We have no court trials, as this would bring the criminal idea too prominently before the boys. I have asked all of them to be policemen themselves as far as the observance of the law is concerned, andsit is remarkable what a strong spirit in favor of keeping the laws has been developed. This spirit does not take the form of idle tattling. but of a genuine desire to uphold good order in the camp. Law 27 reads as follows: "Citi zens not helping the cooks shall stay out of the kitchen, except by special permission." If the State of Colum bia boys can learn to obey this rule, and the president says they can and do, there is nothing in the constitu tion or laws of the United States that will ever bother them when they are men. New York Sun. The Postponed Baptizing. The old colored brother prefaced his sermon with the following re marks: "I well knows dat some er you has travelled fur to see de babtizin' to day but 1 has ter announce dat dar won't be no babtiszin'. Five big al ligators has been seen sunnin' der selfs on five logs in de millpon'; hav in' des crawled out fum der long winter sleep; an' hit stan's ter reas on dat w'en a alligator sleeps all winter he's hongry w'en he wakes up. Hit may be dat Providence will protect de canderdates f er de babtiz in', but hit's my opinion dat ter wade into a millpon' wid five hongry alligators playin' 'possum on a log, would be flyin' in de face er Provi dence." Atlanta Constitution. Oid Violin But Too Much Name. Mr. W. W. Tharpe showed us a few days ago an old violin a very i old and rare instrument if you can ! believe the printed label on the bot- j torn of the inside of the violion. On j this label in plain legible letters are I the words "Antonius Stradiuaverius j Cremonensis Facubat Anno 1730." The date 1730 makes the violin 179 years old, and Stradiuaverius was a celebrated violin maker of the 18th century. The instrument has a very fine tone and is highly prized by Mr. Tharpe.

Speak the kind word, do the kind act, Ere the years have onward sped. Give me all the love and sunshine. While I'm living, not when dead. Tell me I have made life brighter. By the loving words I've said, Tell me I have cheered and helped you While I'm living, not when dead. Oft the way is rough and lonely, And my wounded heart has bled; . Cheer me when the way is dreary, Love me now, not when I'm dead. In the grave there is no heartache. We'll forget where sorrow led, Speak some words of hope and com fort While I'm living, not when dead. Tell me I've been true and faithful. Tell me now ere, life is fled; In the grave I can not hear you, Say in now, not when I'm dead. -Mrs. M. J. Fultae. An Atlanta Genius. Clark Howell, of Atlanta, tells a good story about a former janitor of the Atlanta Constitution office who lost his place through over-indulgence in liquor and who after wards secured a position as an assist ant in an automobile garage in that city. "He had been working around the garage as a handy man for about six months," said Mr. Howell, "and happening to meet him on the street one day I asked him how he was getting along in the automobile business. " 'Fine,' said he. " 'I suppose you know everything about an automobile now, Tom?' I said to him. " 'Yes, sir, Mr. Howell, I knows a lot about dem cars, for I'se been working under dem, and over dem, and all around dem ever since I left de Constitution office. But dere is just one thing about dem automo biles dat puzzles me,' said Tom. " 'What's that?' I asked. "'Well, sir, Mr. HowellI can't get it into my head how they make 'em go without hitching a horse to 'em.' "Selected. Don't think that piles can't be cur ed.
