FACTORY HILL.
The Children’s Day at this place
Sunday was a great success. The
day was spent in singing. At
twelve the school marched from the
chapel to the grove, where a long
and well filled table was waiting.
At night they assembled in the hall
to hear the exercises. All the ex
ercises were exceedingly good. An
excellent address on missionary
work was delivered by Rev. H. H.
Humphrey. Music was furnished
by the Factory Hill string band.
The little children handed in $lO
which they had collected up for
missionary purposes.
The Factory Hill String Band is
greatly strengthened by the mem
bership of Mr. Charlie Gregory of
Spartanburg, S. C. He is an ex
cellent musician and a jolly fellow.

SMOKING IN HOLLAND.
The Dutch Are the Greatest Users of
Tobacco In Europe.
The Hollanders are perhaps of
all the northern peoples those who
smoke the most. The humidity of
their climate makes it almost a ne
cessity, and the very modera cost
of tobacco renders it access .e to
all.
To show how deeply rooted is the
habit it is enough to say that the
boatmen of the trekschuit, the
aquatic diligence of Holland, meas
ure distance by smoke. From here,
they say, to such and such a place it
is not so many miles, but so many
pipes.
When you enter a house after the
first salutations your host offers you
a When you take your leave
he hands you another and often in
sists upon filling your cigar case.
In the streets you see persons
lighting a fresh cigar with the burn
ing stump of the last one without
pausing in their walk and with the
busy air of people who do not wish
to lose a moment of time or a
mouthful of smoke. Many go to
sleep with pipe in mouth, relight it
if they wake in the night and again
in the morning before they step out
of bed.
It really does appear that smok
ing is for the Dutchman a necessary
vital function.
Many people think that so much
smoke dulls the intelligence. Never
theless if there be a people, as Es
quiroz justly observes, whose intel
lect is of the clearest and highest
precision it is the Dutch people.
“Smoke,” said a Hollander, “is
our second breath.” Another de
fined the cigar as the sixth finger of
the hand.—r Pearson’s Weekly.
’ “Just to See Them Kick.”
It is one of the anomalies of west
ern life that a pale, slender, high
voiced, light haired and altogether
effeminate individual named Wil
liam Antrim, sometimes called Billy
Bonny and usually known as “Billy
the Kid,” should be the worst des
perado in the history of the fron
tier. Yet in considering the so call
ed “bad men” of the west his name
must stand forth as the superlative
of badness. Some of the gun fight
ers of frontier days killed in self de
fense, and others killed when they
were in liquor or inflamed with an
ger. But “Billy the Kid” was the only
white man who slew out of pure
wantonness. Three of his victims—
Mexicans they were —he bowled
over “just to see them kick,” as he
laughingly explained afterward.—•

His Majesty.
Henry VIII. and the sovereigns
before his reign were usually ad
dressed as “My liege” and “Your
grace.” The latter epithet was orig
inally conferred upon Henry IV.,
“Excellent grace” was given to Hen
ry VI., “Most high and mighty
prince” to Edward IV., “Highness”
to Henry VII., which last expres
sion and sometimes “Grace” was
used to Henry VIII. About the
end of this reign all titles were ab
sorbed by that of “Majesty,” with
which Francis I. addressed the king
at their interview in 1520. James I.
coupled this to the title “Sacred,”
or “Most excellent.”—London An
swers.
How Maps Are Made.
Large map making firms have ge
ographical libraries, collected from
every source and in every language.
The modest sketch map of the mis
sionary in some wild region is as
highly valued as the most complete
survey map. In making a new map
of any important region the com
pilations made by others are hardly
ever touched. Representatives are
sent out, and every detail is taken
from its original source. These rep
resentatives are paid enormous sal
aries. They are never rushed, but
are allowed to take as long over
their work as thej think it necessi
tates.
Needles In England.
Needles were first made in Lon
don by a negro from Spain in the
reign of Queen Mary. He died, how
ever, without imparting the secret
of his art, ahd it was lost until 1565,
when it was recovered in the reign
of Elizabeth, and Elias Growse, a
German, taught the art to the Eng
lish. The manufacture of needles
was then again lost to England for
nearly a century, but about 1650 it
was recovered by Christopher Green
ing, who settled at Long Crendon, in
Buckinghamshire.—London Chron
icle.
Hi* Memory.
They had not met for years. “Do
you remember,” he asked, “the little
sapling we planted together as boy
and girl?”
Her eyes softened at the recollec
tion. “Yes,” she answered, “I re
member it well.”
“That sapling,” he continued
dreamily, “must be a strong and
sturdy oak now.”
The softness all died out of her
eyes, and conversation ceased.
THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, AUGUST 3, 1905.
VEST POCKET WONDER.
Marvels of the Watch—Distance Trav
eled by Wheels Each Yeer.
How often is it that things
and handle many times m a day are
seldom thought of! How few of
those who possess a watch have
ever thought of what is expected of
it and the work it has to do!
This little machine is expected to
work day and night without stop
ping (as our pulse has to work froih
birth till death). We expect it to
show us the right time in winter
and summer and in whatever posi
tion it is placed.
Now, if we open an ordinary gen
tleman's Geneva horizontal watch
we can see the balance about five
eighths of an inch in diameter,
which gives a three-quarters’ turn
at every tick of the watch, so that
the little pin seen in the balance,
travels at every tick of the watch
about one and a half inches, and ag
a watch of that description has to
make 18,000 vibrations in an hour
the little pin has to make a journey
of about ten miles every twenty
four hours.
Now, well made watches are gen
erally expected to go for two years,
so the little pin in the balance would
have made the long journey of 7,300
(English) miles.
The balance in a lever watch
makes generally one and a half turns
at every tick, and therefore travels
double the distance—viz, 14,600
miles. To be able to accomplish
this all the materials must be of
the best and hardest. The oil also
must be of the best and so fine and
fluid that one drop will suffice to
oil 200 pivots, or bearings, and keep
good in the watch for at least two
years.
Equally astonishing are the means
by which a watch is regulated. This
is done by lengthening or shortening
the fine spiral spring, generally
known as the hairspring.
If a watch should be half a min
ute slow a day the hairspring is a
fourteen thousandth part of a sec
ond too long. Should a watch be
only a minute a week slow it would
then be the ninety-eight thousandth
part of a second too long.
All that is expected of the user
of a watch is that it is regularly
wound up and be not too carelessly
treated. Everything else has to be
left to the mechanism of the watch
and to the clever skill of the watch
maker.—Pearson’s Weekly.
His Lone Sample.
When James T. Brady, the cele
brated lawyer of New York, first
opened a lawyer’s office he took a
basement room which had previous
ly been occupied by a cobbler. He
was somewhat annoyed, says the
writer of “Famous American Ju
rists,” by the previous occupant’s
callers and irritated by the fact that
he had but few of his own.
One day an Irishman entered.
“The cobbler’s gone, I see,” he
said.
“I should think he had!” tartly
responded Brady.
“And what do you sell?” asked
Paddy, looking at a few law books.
“Blockheads,” responded Brady.
“Begorra,” said the Irishman, “ye
must be doing a mighty fine busi
ness. Ye ain’t got but one left.”
Drank Kerosene OIL
A child of Mr. Tom Grant in the
upper part of the county came near
losing its life this week from the
effects of a draught of kerosene oil
which the little one drank by mis
take.

AVOID CONTAGION
ANDJNFECTION
Disinfect Freely with Platt’s Chlorides.
Contagious and infectious diseases are
prevalent. The use of a reliable disinfectant
protects the household. Dusty or damp cor
ners and cracks —nooks behind plumbing
and all spots that can’t be reached by the
scrubbing brush, should be freely sprinkled
with a mixture of one (1) part Platt’s Chlo
rides and ten (10) parts of water. This
dilution costs less than 5 cents a quart.
Use it freely in the waste-pipes, sinks and
closets and do not neglect a liberal sprink
ling of the cellar. To remove objectionable
odors where sprinkling is inadvisable a
cloth, wrung out of the dilution mentioned,
should be placed over or near the article.
A little extra care just now may prevent
much sickness and expense. Platt’s Chlo
rides is an odorless, colorless liquid which
instantly destroys foul odors and disease
breeding matter. It has been freely sub
mitted to Physicians, Sanitarians and Boards
of Health for 25 years, and over 26,000
written endorsements have been received
from them. It is sold everywhere in full
quarts bottles, and is prepared only by
