In discussing the usefulness as well as the character of the news paper, which of course is depend ent upon the support it receives whether it shall be what it ought to w or not. The Wilmington Star drives the truth home with sledge hammer blows in the following: "A newspaper publisher makes just i iood a newspaper as his receipts 'torn supscriptions and advertise ments will warrant him in making. I: is always a publisher's ambition to set out a creditable sheet, but he ;a; .-not do it on wind, and hot" air ".. j tainly won't take the place of . oone-y to pay expenses.

Cleveland Star. Dangers of Railroad Surveyors. Sometimes the work of these par ties become intense and dramatic. The "chief," lowered into a deep and rocky river canon, is making rough notes and sketches, following the character of the rock formation and dreaming dreaming the great j dreams that all great engineers, J great architects, great creators must d ream perforce. He is dreaming of the day when a year or two hence the rail-road's paths all have crouded itself into this impasse, and when the folks who dine luxurious in the .-;h:n.vy cars will fret because of the c iii ve that spills their soup, and nev er I.nov,' of the man who was slipped low a over a 600-foot cliff so that the rail-road might find its way. It is then that the work of the sur veying party began to have its thrills, Prthups to put that line through the canon the party will have to descend he river in canoes. If the river be ,,.) ic.iurh then there is the alterna te :? f being lowered over the cliff si: .

It is all new and wonderful, blaz ing this path for civilization, some times it is even accidental. An engi neer, baffled to find a crossing over the Rockies for a transcontinental route, saw an eagle disappear through a cleft in the hills that his eye had not before detected. He followed the course of the eagle, and to-day the rails of the transcon tinental reach through that cleft and the time table shows it as Eagle Pass. Outing Magazine.

The First Sleeping Car. The first real sleeping car was built in 1864. It was called the'Tioneer," and the builder further designated it by the letter "A," not dreaming that he would soon exhaust the let ters of the alphabet. The "Pioneer" i was built in a Chicago and Alton shop and cost the almost fabulous sum of $18,000. That was reckless extravagance in a year when the best of railroad coaches could be built at a cost not exceeding $4,500. But the "Pioneer" was blazing a new path in luxury. Without it was radiant in paint and varnish, in gay stripes and lettering; it was a giant compared with its fellows, for it was a foot wider and two feet and a half higher than any car ever built before. It had the hinged berths that are the distinctive fea ture of the American sleeping car today, and the porter and the pas sengers no longer had to drag the bedding from closets at the far end of the car. The "Pioneer" was not only wider and higher than other passenger cars, but it was also wider and high than the clearances of station plat forms and overhead bridges. But when the news came of the death of President Lincoln, the fame of Pull man's "Pioneer" was already wide spread, and it was suggested that the new car should be the funeral coach of the martyred president. Lincoln, the fame of Pullman's "Pioneer" was already widespread, and it was suggested that the new car should be the funeral coach of the martyred president. This in volved cutting wider clearances all the way from Washington by the way of Philadelphia, New York, and Albany, to Springfield, 111., and gangs of men worked night and day to make the need changes. From "Comfort While You Travel," by Edward Hungerford, in Outing. Tbe Future of Tbe Automobile. As a vehicle of modern travel the possibilities of the automobile seem to be absolutely unlimited, and to realize what the next ten years may witness in the elevation of this won derfnl motor engine, it is only nec essary to review what the past ten years have revealed. In 1898 there were only 25 plants engaged in the manufacture of auto cars. Today there are 223. The aggregate capital invested in this industry in 1898 was only $2,000,- 000, Today it is $20,000,000. Ten years ago there were only 1,200 automobiles in the entire coun try from Main to California; but at the present time there are 160.000 which is said to be twice the number in use on the continent of Europe. There are 70,000 registered cars in New York State alone. It is said that the value of this year's output of machines will not fall short of $130,000,000. Within the past three years the use of the automobile in making long trips across the country has become quite general. The sentiment which is rapidly crystalizing in favor of good roads is due largly to the demand which the automobile has created for improved highways; and if the patronage of the iron horse is not reduced in time by this modern innovation it will be due to the increased impetus which it imparts to travel among all class esAtlanta Georgian. Gam's Dry Rumor. When the gallant W7elch captain, David Gam, was sent forward by Henry V. to reconnoiter the French army before the battle of Agincourt he found that the enemy outnumber ed the English by about five to one. His report to the king is historic; "There are enough to be killed, enough to be taken prisoners and enough to run away." This quaint forecast of the result of the battle at once spread through the camp, and doubtless every yeo man archer of the vailant company felt an inch taller. We know that it was almost literally justified by the event. Poor Gam's dry humor was equaled by his courage. He was killed while in the act of saving the life of hi3 prince. London Star.

SMALL FARMS OF PORTUGAL How They Cams to Be Divided Into Dimulive Pprllans. The Portuguese are an extremly conservative -people. Every man follows rigidly the methods employ ed by his father and forefathers. In very many parts of the country the old woden ploughs are still used. When a man dies, instead of one of the heirs taking the whole proper ty ard paving the remaining heirs for their parts, the whole property is divided into as many parts as there are heirs. More than this, each separate part of the property is thus divided. " Thus, if a property consist of ten acres of pasture land, eighty of vine yard and ten of grain Tand, and there were ten heirs, each heir would re ceive one acre each of grain and pasture land and eight acres of vine yard. This process has been going on for a very long time, so that now in the most fertile part of Por tugal the land is divided into incredi bly small portions. The immediate result of this is barely sufficient at best to sustain its owners. South of the river Tagus on the other hand, there are enor mous tracts of excellent land lying unused, but it has been found im possible to induce the farmers of the north to move into this region and take up large holdings. Phila delphia Inquirer. Some Sbort Business Sermons. It is said that Syrus never paid a man his first week's wages without putting into his pay envelope a little card upon which appeared these rules: 1. Don't lie it wastes my time and yours. I'm sure to catch you in the end and that's the wrong end. 2. Watch your work, not the clock. A long day's work makes a long day short, and a day's short work makes my face long. 3. Give me more than I expect, and I'll pay you more than you ex pect. I can't afford to increase your pay if you don't increase my profits. 4. You owe so much to vourself that you can't honestly affort to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt or keep out of my shops. 5. Dishonesty is never an accident. Good men, like good women, can't see temptation when they meet it. 6. Mind your own business, and in time you'll have a business to mind. 7. Don't do anything here which hurts your self-respect. The em ployee who is willing to steal for me is capable of stealing from me. 8. It's none of my business what you do at night, but if dissipation affects what you do next day, and you do half as much as I demand, you'll last half as long as you expect. 9. Don't tell me what I'd like to hear, but what I ought to hear. I don't want a valet to vanity, but I need one for my dollary. 10. Don't kick if I kick if you're worth while correcting, you re worth while keeping. I don't waste time cutting specks out of rotten apples. Eating in Olden Days. Even at so late a period as the Restoration, 1660, it was the custom for the guests to take their own knives and forks to an English ban quet. Pepys records that he did this when he went to the Lord Mayor's feasts in the Guildhall. In the previous reign the lord chamber lain had found it necessary to issue regulations for the benefit of the officers invited to dine at the royal table. They were required to wear clean boots, not to be half drunk on their arrival, not to drink more than one goblet to every two dishes, not to throw the bones under the table, or lick their fingers. The Staurts undoubtedly did much to refine English table manners, for it was one of the points admired in Mary Queen of Scots that the cus toms she introduced from France made her court and royal banquets more exquisite and genteel than those of her rival, Queen Elizabeth. As forks came into use, the old time importance of the table napkin began to wane. From being a nec essity it became a luxury, on the fastidious use of which etiquette has at various times placed strange values. London Chronicle.

His Unlucky Day. "I tell you what it is," said an old j synic 1 am nrmly convinced tnat every man has his particular days for gocd and bad luck. Monday is my unlucky day. I have been watch ing it for twenty years, and rothing can shake me in this belief. I never begin any enterprise, no matter how trival, or start on any journey on that day. Therefore I make Monday an off day and do nothing but potter round the house. E'en in these lit tle affairs everything goes wronr. "Take tbe record of last Monday, a fair average, and be convinced; Smashed finger while nailing board on fence. Fell down cellar stairs with coal scuttle.

London Tit-Bits. Not Undisputed. The case before the court was one involving the ownership of a tract of land and the attorney for one of the parties to the suit was cross-exanin-ing a witness. "Now, Mr. Grimshaw," he said, "the property on which you live was originally apart of the . 20 acres in dispute, was it not?" "Yes sir." "And your title is based on the original to that land, I presume?" "Yes sir." "How long have you resided there?" "Over 21 years." "Have you had now, mark me have you had 21 years' undisputed possession of that property?" The witness hesitated a moment. "Remember Mr. Grimshaw," said the lawyer, raising his voice, "that you are under oath. Have you had 21 years, undisputed possession of that property?" "It has been disputed once," answ ered the-witness, "I found a nest of bumblebees in my back yard one day last summer." In the general laugh that followed this answer the lawyer subsided. Youths.

No greater opportunity is offered to the young man who is willing to work than is offered in Southern agriculture to the man who will learn how to do ordinary farm task as they should be done. The. boy who trains himself along these lines has the feather in his hands; and the farm boys of the South should be turning by the thousand to the agricultural high schools, the winter short courses in the agriculture colleges, the corn contests to everything, in fact, which will help to make them really proficient in either the science or the practice of agrictlture. The farm boy who will train himself can get good wages or a good salary in working for other men, and can thereby accumulate enough to buy land himself and so become a still more definite factor in the agricul ture progress of his section. Let the town clerkship alone, farmer boy; there are much bigger opportunities more money and vast ly more independence and satisfac tion on' the farm. Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farmer.
