A man Is sometimes horn unpopular, and sometimes he has unpopularity thrust upou him, but If he wants to achieve unpopularity with a bound just let him forget the date of his wedding day and allow his wife to find It out. Wo know a man who Is occasionally greeted upon his return from business by his wife dressed In her best gown, with a rose In her hair and a smile ou her Ups. The man Is always courteous, and so he greets his better half kindly, even while he asks In a tone of distant dis approval, “Are we going anywhere to night, dear?" “Going anywhere!" says that lady. "No; don’t you—is it possible you don’t remember what today Is?” The culprit makes a valiant effort to recollect He runs his Augers through bis hair and assumes a thoughtful look. He knits l)ls brows and bites his lips, and he Is painfully aware all the time that bis wife Is growing more and more rigid and more and more sorry that she has assumed her best gown for an oc casion that Is so little appreciated. “I know It Isn’t our wedding anni versary,” says the head of the house presently and pleasantly, “for-we were married In the spring. I am sure we were, for you wore some sort of white thing. It was very pretty," he adds hastily, Immediately aware that the at mosphere has grown even cooler with bis remarks. “I wore a'gray going away gown," says his wife Idly, “and nothing white at all.” . “it Isn’t the anniversary of our en gagement,” go^s on the blundering masculine, “for you told me last year 'that come some time In June.” His wife absently takes the Sower out of her hair und crushes It. “Tell me what It Is,” commands the man Impatiently. “I’ll never guess It by myself.” His wife leads the way Into the li brary with an air. “It's not of the slightest consequence of course,” she says bitterly. “I was very, foolish to remember It myself, but somehow I did. It has been four years today since I met you at Mrs. Blank’s theater party, and you sat next to me during the performance of ‘Romeo aud. Juliet' and said that so long as you lived you would never forget that night nor the privilege that had been yours on that occasion.” It would be a very hardened criminal who would not be bowled out by this 1 naive recital, and the man In the case j Is properly contrite aud writes the date dowu'in his pocketbook so that he will have It for next year, but he never by any chance remembers It then, and about tho same scene will be gone over again. The woman who cannot recollect that Columbus discovered America In 1402 or that the civil war was begun lu 1801 can remember without difficulty the day and date upon which ,she met her husband, the day he Arst brought her a bunch of violets, the Arst time he took her to the theater and the play they saw, the moment when he begau <to look upon her as something more than an attractive girl, the time he asked her to marry him, what be said, what she said, what hour of the day It was and what she had on. As for the wedding day. each detail of It Is as’ plain to her half a century later as If It had been yesterday. Then she gets raging mad because her beloved cannot follow her In her flights of fancy. Once there was a mdn who never re membered until he was reminded that the anniversary of his wedding day bad rolled around again. He found that his misconduct greatly hurt the feelings of his wife, and so one year he resolved to make a great mental effort and be the Arst to speak of the occasion. He made the effort, he bought his wife a superb purse, and he had it marked with her Initials In gold and then Inside the Aap was the date—Oct, T EYES.TESTED FREE BY AN EXPERT I Our glasses aro a perfect delight to tlrod or painful oyes Without effort or strata you uunsee to perfection.

That in. Use In Great Britain and the United State*. The yard Is the British and American standard of length. Down to 1824 the original standard of Britain, from which ours was copied, was a rod, which had been deposited In the court of exchequer, London, in the time of Queen Elizabeth. In those days all measures Intended for general use were taken to tho court ot exchequer to be examined by tbe proper officer. That official took the proposed meas ure and placed It parallel with tbe standard and If found correct placed certain marks pf Identification upon It. By an act of parliament . In 1824 the old Elizabethan standard was super seded by another, which had been con structed under, the directions of the Royal .society sixty-fpur years previ ous. This act provided that “the straight line of distance between the centers of two points in the gold stuijs lu the brass rod now In the custody of the clerk of the house of commons shall be the genuine standard of the yard measure In Great Britain.” The act further privlded that the measure ments of the rod must be made when the temperature of the brass was at 02 degrees F. The standard was destroyed by Are in 1834, and the commission appointed to replace It made, tho yard measure now lu use. Tho new standard was de posited in tbe bouse of parliament In 1806,, add authenticated copies of It ’ are In the possession of our govern ment officials at Washington. FOR 8ALE.

Tbe awful desolation of the Dead sea, which lies nearly 1,300 feet below , the level of the Mediterranean, Is bro ken here and there by tbe salt divers, I whose work le probably as ancient as the human race itself. | From remotest antiquity tbe salt ot tbe Dead sea has been collected aud taken to tbe Jerusalem market, where It Is used for curing hides and for do mestic pul’poses. Deud sea water con tains over 25 per cent of solid sub stances, of which 7 per cent Is chloride of sodium, or common salt.- Tbe Dead sea contains no living crea ture. Sea flsh put Into Its waters speed ily die. Not a single boat navigates its Btrange waters, nor Is there any sign of Ufo, save the Isolated parties of salt divers, who scrape and slowly amass their gllstenihg heaps of crystal near the mouth of the Jordan. When a sufficient cargo Is made ready a long string of camels crosses ' the desert, and the salt Is loaded up Into panniers, or-“shwerrles," and tak en Into Jerusalem, where It finds a ready market Salt, as is well known, has been used as currency from time Immemorial, just as bricks of tea are used today In central Asia, especially In the border land of Obina and Siberia.—Technical World Magazine.

And was his wife pleased at this' delicate compliment? Not she. “It’s lovely,” she said, “but what Is It for? The date, 1 mean." “For?” asked the man mildly. “Why, for our wedding day. Don’t you re member we were married on Oct. 6, 1808?” His wife smiled a sad, soft smile. "It was very sweet of you, dear- very sweet," she murmured and her tone was the more sorrowful than angry, ‘Tint as It happens we were married on Nov. 20. I don't know the date you have there at all.” Tbe mail was awfully embarrassed, and he never told his wife, for there were limits to her patience, that be finally recalled the fact that on Oct 0, .1898, he had formed a bnslncss partner ship which bad ended disastrously.— Baltimore News, CAPITAL 8URPLUS, arrivals: From Lockhart,' Florala and Dothan . .'.i l From Lockhart, Florala and Dothan l: From Augusta, ; Savannah, Atlanta, Macon .., ' ■From Montgomery, Troy, Co lumbus, Atlanta, Macon... : From Atlanta, Savannah, Ma con, Montgomery, Colum bus ....l: Every facility In the' banking busi ness offered to customers.
