Tliev are nerfect in masonry, and some of them contain blocks of from 300 to 500 tons. The most remarkable thing about the construction of these py ramids is that the stone of which they are built must have been brought hundreds of miles across deserts ami over mountains.

A solemn hush fell over the crowded court room, and every person waited in almost breathless expectation for an answer to the Judge's question. Will the prisoner answer? Is there nothing that will make him show signs of emotion? Will he maintain the cold indif ferent attitude that he has shown through the long trial, even to the - place of execution?

"But, may it please the court, I wish to show that 1 am not alone resjionsible for the murder of my wife!" This startling statement created quite a tremendous sensation. The .Judge leaned over his desk, the law yers wheeled around and faced the prisoner, the jurors looked at each other in amazement, while the sjectators could hardly suppress their excitement.

His London manager tried to in troduce it into the hospital trade, claiming for it the property of disinfecting operating rooms and infected bedding. To that end he had it put through searching lab ratory tests. It stood them all. He advertised this fact adroitly and succeeded in placing' big or ders with the. British hospitals. ".But will it work in practice?" asked the boss jn Philadelphia. He got some infected sheets from a typhoid hospital, washed them thoroughly with a solution of- his soap, and had them tested under the microscope.

THE TRAINED THINKER (Extract from au address delivered by Prof. Edwin Minis of Trinity College at the closing of the Monroe grscded school. ) What are the characteristics of the truly educated mind? The ultimate object of education is to discipline the' mind so that it wil think aright. There are some iieo pie who allow others to think for them: there are others who have a genius for thinking wrongly; do not refer to men of such ability in thinking ns Aristotle. Bacon and Cant, all of whom we're men of giant minds. 1 do not tnean to estimate thought as the one factor in life;! look ujion life as a unit,, ami I am the last person to underestimate the place of emotion in life. It is the soul that thinks, that feels. The first evidence of the educat ed man is the ojen mind as oppos ed to tho closed mind tlie mind f ree f rrmx rej ud ice. M any . 1 i yes have !een marreu by prejudice in his heart against sonie individual, nation, section or art, I have known Northern iieople who have marred their happiness by harllor ing prejudice against tho 'Stiulth; and I have known Southern jieople who have made the same mistake by nursing feeling against certain sections of the North, as New Eng land, for instance. I think it "would be, of invaluable heh to ns in the South, esjiecially to those of who aro younger, if w o would make a social study of New Eng land's best age, We need to study New England -pot sdia waa at the time of Jonathan Edwards, but as j sheVas in the time of Phillins! Brooks; not a she was in tho time of Cotton Mather, but as she was in the time of James Bussell Low ell. Another characteristic of the educated man is his power to im prove upon the mistakes of the past, We rieed to learn there is always a conservative and a radi cal point in every consideration, and to find tho middle ground that that is safe is our duty, Tho . power to discriminate is another characteristic of the edu cated mind. If tho men of the North in ISO l could have lxen able, to discriminate and could have seen Kobe it h,. Lee as the great i 1 !. man that he was; and ir the men of the South could have been able to .discriminate between the sincere but bigotted William Lloyd Garri son and the large-hearted Abra ham Lincoln, who had tho good of the whole country at heart, there never would have been any civil war. And the power to -discriminate in the - individual life would f 1 1 1 rt save many individuals trom un- happiness. - ; The educated mind knows also how to emphasize properly knows just what to emphasize. There is a tendency to .emphasize what we have done rather than what is possible for us to do in the future. We need not to look back at our beginning, but to look for ward to our good. " it is possible for all of these characteristics ofjLhe educated mind to be so much exaggerated as to close the mind to the proper conception, and this is a point to guard. The art of thinking can not be learned in a day, but is the study of a lifetime. We need to keep on learning . the, 'ixiwer of thinking just as wo need to keep on learning the power of living. Why Some People Fall. ( '.-(!. B. Ii." in Progressive Farmer. ) Dear Aunt Mary: The reason so many eople are failures is that they drift through life without aim, purpose or effort. They Hoat along the line of least resistance, avoiding all obstacles anil shrinking from anything that looks like hard work. Their great desire is to get an "easy job." They do not concern themselves at all as to whether it is a stumbling block or a step ping stone to their future welfare. They have no plan, no program, ro ambition to guide them. They simply live for to-day and literally "take no thought for the morrow." This happy-go-lucky policy can lead to but one thing failure. Thousands who have adopted it have drifted in old age to begging in the streets or to the almshouse. The youth who goes out look ing for a "snap" is to le pitied. There can be no doubt as to where he will end if he does not change his tactics. If he does not brace up, take stock of himself, put vim and. purpose into his life he will surely join the great army of the "might have-beens." Kis Own Language.

Well meaning people of means may not have opportunity to do tbe personal work for the church thoy would like to do, but helping to build 'Churches, parsonages, school houses, and other charitable institutions is something they are glad to do. f t We are getting tioine fine lioints from the study of Joseph's lite. I commend the study of his lifedo politicians and office-seekers. Every man can't rise to Kwer like Joseph. But like him, all an exert themselves to be prepared for mblie trust; then if it conies to them. they can discharge their duty creditably to themselves and for the best interests of the people. If office fails to come their way, they have the satisfaction of knowing themselves worthy, which is far better. When you are selecting the men for your public offices, be sure they possess the qualification Pharaoh detec ted in Joseyh: let them tie men "in whom the Spirit of God is." That is the sure test. It raises a man above per sonal ease, ambition and gain, and makes him desirous to be only a bless ing to his fellow-man. Such was Jos eph, and such you may be. t f t I recently heard a man opposed to the new road tax law for Anson giving it" blazes. He said it was unfair, and he believed unconstitutional. He had served faithfully his time out, and was, under the law, free from further road duty. Now, to pass a new law, and put an other road burden on him, he thought would be, in spirit, an ex post facto law, and ought to be so construed by the Su preme Court. He grew eloquent when he criticised the inconsistency of Anson's Representativein the last session of the Legislature for opposing prohibition, which involved only a- few thousand dollars of property, and insisting on a vote, while he advocated and 'passed, without hesitancy, the road tax law. which involves all the property SCn9 every poll in the county. Personally, as I have before state! in The Ansonian, I approve the law. Am willing to do anything, reasonable for the sake of good roads. When I was overseer I worked like the hands, fur- uished a team, and plow, free, and gave ak lumlier to make several small bridges. Yet I feel like I did but little, tind wish to do more to secure good roads.. t t t Mr. M. W. Hyatt is building a ram bling porch to his dwelling. It extends on three sides of his house.

Glenn returned yesternay afternoon from Lum- herton, weary from the strenu ous work of the weeks spent in two trips one to Hyde and one to Robeson county. In Lumber- ton Friday, he delivered the ora tion at the unVeiling of the mon ument erected on the. court house sriuare to the Confederate veter ans of Robeson county. In speaking to the News and Observer reporter, upon his arri val at the depot yesterday after noon, concerning hjs trip to Lura- berton, the (ioTernof expressed himself as delighted with the progress lyeness ot tne oeauiuui town. Of the occasion, he said there were fully ten thousand people present the largest crowd he ever addressed in North Caro lina. A remark of the Governor's in regard to the good order of the crowd is significant and of inter est to the friends of prohibition as well as a high compliment to the citizenship of the county. Said he: Tn all that crowd of ten thou sand people, I did not seea drunk en man, nor one that I could say was under the influence of liquor." There is not a barroom or dis tiensary in the county, Robeson having been for two decades a leader for prohibition. l.oji A YEAR IN ADVANCE Caaaf e ia Seaboard Railway Schedule Tlie following schedule w ent into effec Sunda.f, May :th, hH)7: Tralas rotaf Soatl. tilt Is towr4 Charlotte. 33. due to arrive at 7.JW a. in.!
