Next thing you know some college will have a professor to teach young ducks to swim. We wouldn't know how good some people are if they didn't tell us about it. John D. Rockfeller is reported to 1 11.

No matter how the thermometer goes, this summer will be regarded by the Chicago police as mild com pared with last year's political con vention season. iue ivaiser was once called a war lord, but he did not find himself compelled to enter into actual hos tilities, Europe is hoping that his ef forts as a peace promoter will not also woik contrariwise. Don't all you currency experts speak at once. The public is getting an inlook on the affairs of the Outlood. June Brides are just as sweet in any kind of weather.

Mr. Rcckfeller gets up at sunrise these days and thus sets another precedent that very few will follow. If ycu don't believe aft is long visit a moving picture show. In announcing that "he's willing" Mayor Gaynor says he has no party behind him; but that's no reason why he should crow over Bill Sulzer. The Sultan of JoId seems inclined to follow his accustomed way with out giving much concern to whether the proprietors of the Phillipint's speak Sanish or English. . A candidate is not expected to go any further than to.say he is "will ing to accept the nomination. The use of the word "anxious" is not considered ethical. Uncle Joe Cannon refrains f rem bragging about being "the best speaker the House of Representa tives ever had." That line of talk is the sure sign of the hard loser. Temperature comparisons between the capitol and the President's man sion are said to be much in favor of the latter. But then some congress men have always complained of the coolness at the White House. The foods and drugs board is pre paring to scrutinize carefully ail meats from purchaser to consumer. Perhaps somewhere between the hoof and the mouth it will locate the deadly germ that causes the high price cf living. Plans for the sane Fourth include everything but the regulation oi speeches.

Hitherto the Old North State has pre-eminently stood for making of men, men of courage and convictions, men who could justify their stand point as one which had not to do exclusively with self, but had largely to do with the community. From out her borders in every commonwealth ot the republic these men, stalwart in body in mind and conscience, have preached the gospel of the republic freedom rof thought, freedom of 1 t m i . speecn ana ireeaom or action, re gardless of personal aggrandizement This University has hitherto been justified by her children. It is not impossible to maintain high ' ideals and at the same time to succeed. If however, there is not instilled into a man by academic training enough of patience,? orbearance and courage to discredit personal success when a principle is at stake, then the institu tion has not sent forth a cultivated man. Each age has its prime need as it has its unleashed passion. The unleashed passion of to-day is for social success at any price. The growing need of to-day is for cultu red men who know and dare to ma intain the right. May the citadel of principle builded here an hundred years ago never surrender to the storming forces of expedience. May men full of the rich blood of high ideals continue to be sent into the world. Whatever else, wherever else the children of the Old North State may get, here let them contin ue to get wisdom and understanding. Vice-President Marshall at the University of North Carolina. Salt Makes tne Sea Blue. Parcels Pest Manges the ad- Three important changes in parcel post service make their vent with July 1st. Special parcel post stamps will no longer be re quired and either the ordinary stamp or the special parcel post stamp may be used for transmitting packages. The fee for insuring parcel post packages has been reduced- to five cents for amounts not exceeding five dollars. Then, in addition, a collect on delivery system has been organ ized. On these packages the sender must pay the postage in full, but may have the receiviug office collect a sum not to exceed one hundred dollars from the addressee upon de livery. The postmaster makes the collection and remits by money or der. The transaction must take place, however, between two money order offices. These changes will have the effect of broadening the scope of the ser vice and making it more valuable still to citizens in their intercourse with each other. Free Press, The bluenessof sea water is in con stant ratio to its saltiness. In the tropics the tremendous evaporation inaucea Dy the Diazing sun causes the water to be much saltier than it is in high altitudes. For about thirty degree north and south of the equator the waters are of an exquisite azure. Beyond these latitudes the blue changes to green and in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans the green are almost as vivid as tropical blues The extraordinary blueness of the Mediterranean has two causes. Few large, river 3 of fresh water run into this sea, and, moreover, the Medi terranean is virtually landlocked 1 1 . a 1 ana exposea to a poweriui sun, so tbat evaporation is rapid. By ac tual test the wraters of the Mediter ranean are heavier and saltier than those of the Atlantic ocean. But blue and green are not the only colors observed in the sea. In Jan uary, 1909, a river of yellow water three miles wide was observed run ning parallel with the blue Gulf stream. It stretched from Cape Florida to Cape Hatteras, and its colos was undoubtedly due to some tremendous submarine upheaval, probably volcanic. Again, nine years ago, the sea turned almost black off a large part of the California coast. The whole of Saata Cruz bay assumed this ex traordinary inky hue, and fishing came abruptly to an end. The dark ness seemed to have been caused by millions of the tiny animalcules, known as whale food. The dull reddish tint that has given the Red sea its name has a similar cause. The water becomes full of micro scopic algae tiny weeds. The Yel low sea of China is usually supposed to owe its color to the flood of mud dy water that its greater river pours into it. But there again living or ganisms are responsible for the pe culiar tint, Occasionally, for some cause yet undiscovered, great areas of the ocean turn milky white. In j March, 100 i, a Japanese merchant 'vessel, steaming at night between Hong Kong and Yokohama, ran into a snow white sea. It was not an opaque phosphorescent surface, but of an expanse of pure snow white that dazzled the eyes. The phe- Generat Carr Delighted Great Reunion. With the Gettysburg, Pa., July 2. Genera Julian S. Carr, commanding the North Carolina veterans, said last night: "Few men can comprehend or take in what it means to care for 50,000 feeble men. Many of them need almost as much attention as a child, and yet I see from mingling, with these men as I do that every want, every care that is possible has been proviuea ior. i nave Deen to every reunion for the past thirty years 1 jj.t ii . i . t dul me garnering nere this week is the finest, the most royal and most liberal of them all.

"I met a man on the street." said Brill, "and he gave me a quarter to hold the bundle for him." "Take a good look at the judges," suggested the clerk. "Do they ap pear likely to believe a story like that.?" The prisoner glanced in the direc tion of Jusnices Collins, Hermann, and Mclnery. "I plead guilty," he said. He was remauded for a week for investigation. The New York Sun. ASK YOUR DRUGGIST ABOUT IT. There is a New Remedy that Takes the Place of Calomel. Recommended and Guaranteed by the Dreg gists.

"I'm employed in a broker's of fice." - "Stenographer, I presume?" "Yes'. "Mother and father living?" "Yes" "That's your own complexion, I presume." "Sir!" "Do you make your own dresses?" "I never twas so insulted in my life! What do you mean by asking me snch a lot of personal questions. And at our first meeting, too." "I'm sorry if I have offended you, but you see I might pass you onthe street some day when I'm out walk ing with my wife. If I should speak to you those are only a few of the questions she'll ask me about you, and I'd like to be able to answer them." Webb Law. " Attorney-General McReynolds has declared the Webb law regarding in terstate shipments of liquor not a criminal statute, and has sent in structions to all United States attor to begin no prosecutions under it. "Its purpose," says the Attorney General, "is to permit State laws to operate in respect of intoxicating li quors moving in interstate com merce." In this connection it may be noted that the destruction of blockade stills goes on at a lively pace in North Carolina.

Washington, July 8, Sheep on the Nebo national forest, Utah; go four and a half months without water except for such moisture as they get from the dew and the jubes of forage plants. Grgzing sheep on a range entirely dsstitute of water is a recent inno vation due to the increasing demand for forage and the efforts of the forest officers to find a place on the forest ranges for all the stock that can safely be admitted. The area on the Nebo which has now proved usable by sheep is high and rocky, a portion of it being above timber line, and it has neither springs nor streams of sufficient size or accessi bility to be used for stock watering purposes. The grazing season lasts from June 15 to October 31 , and during this period of four and a half months the animals do not get a drink. Under such conditions, however, the sheep have done extremely well, and last year's lambs from this range had an average weight at the close of the season of 68 pounds on the Chicago market, which was rath er above the normal weight from that vicinity. In one area on the Targhee forest in Idaho sheep get water only twice during the four months summer grazing season. There is no water on the range, but the' sheep are driven to a nearby stream lower down the mountain s'de. Lambs from this range weighed 65 pounds on the Chicago market. E. T.

On the bank of a small river in Ireland is a stone bearing the follow ing inscription: "When this stone is out of sight it is not safe to ford the river."

It reads: "This is the bridle path to Faver sham; if you can't read this you had better keep to the main road." The Best, Medicine in the World. "My little girl had dysentery yery bad.
