It was Edwin, (he king of Northumbria, whoso ardent love for a Chrlsllun princess caused him to erect the lirst minster. Edwin was a pagan then, and l’a'dhald, king of Kent, refused to sanction a marriage between Ills sister Etlielhurg i and Llwln, hold ing It unlawful for u Christian maid en to he wed to a pagan. However, Edwin’s love for tho princess ruled his every action and he resolved to become a Christian. History records that they were married while Edwin was still u pagan. Bishop Paulinas, who held great sway at Endbald’s court, did not hide Ids disapproval of the match, hut lie was u wise man, and instead of wasting time in Idle words he set about the task, with tlie old .of tile new queen, of converting Edwin. On Easter day, (!27, Edwin wan baptized in a small \vond"ii church called St. Peter the Apostle, and tills was the lirst minster of York. Tho primitive structure was later enclosed in a stone building at Edwin’s request, but before it was cm, yrteir 1. the convert was assassi nated by Oswald, who became his ^successor. A Norman cathedral, years after, marked the spot win re the lirst minster stood, and where the pres ent great minster now stands.—Lon don Tit-Bits. m. ifc Atlanta, Bus line. Leave Dahlonega 7 130 A.

Habit, Not instinct, Ic Mankind's Ruler What n world there I • behind that one word habit 1 If you would got close to human nature, forget nil you ever have hoard about Instincts and throw away your notions about nat ural bents and predispositions and in nate talents and "blood,” because man la not that kind at animal, lie is a creature of habits—a few had ones can ruin him for life. Look into hab its—find out how they start, hew they are formed, how they cud, iiow they may be broken, (t cetera, and why some are good and some simply ruin ous. Note especially how emotional habits eternally move ns this way and Unit. And before you decide that thi., boy or that woman never was piled for tlds or that role, remember that any one of a dozen bad emotional habits may make success impossible in almost any direction. These hab its were made, not born—George A. Dorsey, in Cosmopolitan. Not of Indian Origin As to tbo origin of Hie expression “Indian summer,” Mr. Albert Mat thews has shown that it does not oc cur anywhere either In printed books or manuscripts until the year 1791, hut at Hint time It was in use throughout t be Atlantic states. The popular belief that Indian summer weather was predicted by Hie native Indians In conversation with the lirst European settlers finds no documen tary corroboration, and the Idea that the term “Indian summer” was em ployed by the early settlers seeing to be a myth. In general, neither this term nor anything corresponding to it Is to be found in any Indian lan guage. Tho term “Indian Summer” in its present usage was Introduced into England from America. In 177S Hor ace Walpole used Hie same expres sion, but lie evidently had in miml (lie intense heats of the midsummer weather In India and the West Indies. Eminent Domain Eminent domain is Hie right of n government to lake private property for public uses without the owner's permission, provided Just compensa tion Is given. In this manner land is obtained for parks, post offices, forts and sites used for other public pur poses. Governments often confer the right of eminent domain on railroad, telephone and other private companies engaged in callings generally regard ed as essential to Hie public welfare. Eminent.domain is based on the prin ciple that nn individual’s private in terests should not lie permitted to stand in Hie way of tlie interests of the whole community In which lie lives.—Exchange. Tough Job for Mr. Fish The palm for snerilielal parenthood should go to a certain species of cat fish. Although the male of (Ills spe cies (Arius-Gnlelchlhys) Is no con structed that he needs an unusually large amount of food and though lie lias tbe accompanying voracious tip- petite to satisfy it, lie fills his mouth with Hie eggs laid by Ids mate and carries them until Hie eggs are hutched. Tho eggs of tills species tire unusually large, (00, says a scientist writing In the Forum, some of them measuring 17 to 18 millimeters in di ameter, so for a fii.sh that reaches even Ills length of three to four feet, a spawning of such eggs makes j, cumbersome mouthful.

Preferred to Make Her Plea in English A little live-year-old miss had learned to say her prayers in Eng lish, when her grandmother started to tench her* to say them in French. It was a part of home instruction In h rench, and the little miss was pick ing up Hie second language rapidly. However, her program In saying her prayers in French halted a bit, ns the youngster had a little difficulty In get ting her tongue around several words. One hot evening, in the midst of her home lesson In French, she stopped and said: "Grandma, can’t God understand my prayers in English7" “Why, yes,” replied grandmother. “He understands all languages." “Well,” said tlto little miss, “If It’s ail Hie some to God, I’ll say them In English tonight." Hie Conditions The young man waited for the mil lionaire’s reply. “I don’t blame you for wanting to marry my daughter," said the latter. “And now how much do you suppose you iiiul siio can worry along on?" The youth brightened up. “I—I think," he cheerfully stam mered, “that £200,000 well invested would produce a suliieient income." The millionaire turned back to bis papers. “Very well,” lie said. "I will give you £100,000, provided you can raise a similar amount. And the young man went away sor rowing.—London Opinion. Population increase It Is known that every day about 100,000 persons die and 150,000 are born. Which means that every day the sun sets on 50,000 more people than were on efirtli when It rose. Never before In human history have births been 50 per cent more than deaths. Taking this as a basis for figures, Edward Roos notes In the Century Magazine that doubling the world’s population in sixty years In dicates that tho earth’s Inhabitants have Increased ten-fold I11 two cen turies. At tills rale there will bo only a square yard of arable land to a per son 1,000 years bonce.—Capper’s Weekly. X-Rays in Industry The game or "button button” is now being played In a commercial way with the aid of X-rays. The device is used to search for buttons and other solid materials In piles of rags that are to bo used for making paper. Seri ous damage to the pulping machinery Is likely if buttons, hooks, eyes, and other Iiard articles are not removed. To find these objects, Hie rags are conveyed on endless bands over an X-ray tube, where the solid materials are readily detected by fluorescent screens. ThcnLs to Jealousy! Barelmieiit was invented owing to the jealous,\ of two king’s. I’apyrus was exported from Egypt, and Ptolemy Plillhdelphus, being jealous of Eu- hieucs of IVi guiuus because lie was aI’rnid Hie latter would acquire u larger library than his own, forbade the export of tiie reed. Eumenes looked about him for a substitute, and ordered the skins of sheep to be dressed in such a way that they could he used for writing. Hence came parchment, the thin, line variety of which is known as vellum. Samplers First Made for Use as Patterns, The sampler Is one of Hie oldest] compositions in needlecrnft. It made its appearance early in the Sixteenth j century. It was then called "sam- J cloth," and came into popular use] because of the "great scarcity and j high price of lucc-pattern books,” so' we uro Informed by an old authority' ou tho subject. All the earliest laces' and openwork embroideries, such as outwork, reticclla, drawn-thread work, and so on, were copied on these "snm- cloths” by those who had not money to purchase tho rare and expensive pattern-books; lienee the sampler was originally made for tho purpose of. obtaining and keeping u worthwhile design, or one that appealed to tho worker. Later, when the sources of pattern-supply became more plentiful and less expensive, so that tho orig inal service of the sampler was no longer of value, It was then made "to exhibit the skill of the embroiderer,”! usually a pupil at school, and was often framed and hung up to display to admiring friends. Indeed, no young lady's education during the Seven teenth and Eighteenth centuries was considered quite complete until she bad “embroidered I11 silks and gold thread a sampler with a bordering of drawn-thread and a center lllied with representations of animals, flowers and trees, accompanied by verses ap propriate to tjjc undertaking.” Su/ifi's Great Poiver as Satirist of Vice Swift Is unquestionably the great est of English satirists, and It Is In- terestlng to observe why he is so much more effective than our numer ous satirists today, of whom wo have God's plenty. The reason—apart from tho Incomparable austerity and beauty of his prose style—Is not far to seek. It can lie stated in two words. Our present contemporary satirists ridicule virtue; Swift ridi culed vice. Our living satirists at tack religious and moral people, and, above all, they make fun of anyone intensely in earnest. If tills earnest ness Is directed not toward the pred atory selfish satisfaction of lust or lucre, but expresses Itself lu religious, moral or social reform, then the satire takes on Increasing Intensity. Swift attacks treachery, Ingratitude, lech ery, pimping, uncleanness, hatred, envy, swinishness, avarice, and the wholesale murder sentimentalized un der Hie linme of patriotism. Aud It Is because these degrading vices were all about him in England iu 1720 and ull about us in England and In America at present that the cutting edge of ids sword went so deep and made so many victims wriggle, and it also explains why that sword lias not lost its edge in 200 years.—Wil liam Lyon I’lielps, lu Yale Review. Evil in Unwise Feeding Two Cliicngq teachers did a little ] experimenting the other day, One swallowed a toy balloon attached to 1 a stomach tube. The other blew up tiie balloon. In a few minutes the 1 man who had swallowed the balloon j felt drowsy as one does after heavy j eating. Which indicates distention of ■ the stomach Is the cause of the feel- i lug of unfitness after a too hearty meal, i The stomach Is capable of astonishing | distention. But it’s unwise to take ' advantage of that fact.—Capper’s 1 Weekly. 1 Tox;n Failed to Live Up to Expectations The old town of Quindnro on the Missouri river above Kansas City was founded in 1S50 by free state boom ers who came from New England. Kansas City and Leavenworth were either neutral or were dominated by sympathizers of tiie South. The New England emigrants wanted u “port of entry" of their own. The town was built up rapidly with a large hotel, great warehouses, a steamboat landing, and otiier evidences of a “fu- 111 r." great metropolis.” During the Civil war, however, tiie men nil went to fight. When they returned the Fidon Pacific was building west through the Kaw valley, and a lltlle later tho Hannibal bridge was con structed, forever making Kansas City the “port of entry." Quindnro was abandoned. Its hotel and warehouses went to decay, and ( now all that remains are tiie ruins and the memory of a struggle of a few brave men who believed they were I'l.'dit, but who were mistaken In their judgment as to the geographical loca tion of the “future grout metropolis.” —Kansas City Star. Tools Found in Africa May Antedate Ice Age The prehistoric .men of the old Stone ago, who lived In Europe for thousands of years between the ad vances of the lee during the glacial period, and even, perhaps, before Hint great Ice age began, may hale learned how to chip their Hints and make their rude stone tools under tiie kind er sides of Africa. This Is suggested by very ancient implements recently found in Hint continent by an East African arch eological expedition. The stone tools and weapons new ly found arc believed to have been made 11ml lost by their owners even before the lee age. During all tiie half million years or more since then (hey have been lying undisturbed In the gravel deposits where they have now been found. Africa was too far south to be reached by the glaciers of tiie Ice ago, II Is observed, but the climate at Hint time seems to have been cool er and more rainy limn now. It was before this rainy period, it is said, that tlie makers of none tools must have lived. During Hie Ice age, and even before its beginning, men of Hie old Stone age are known to have invaded Eu rope, from which they retreated again as the ice the< i advanced. Where these men of the glacial period came from lias always been a mystery, j some scientliic men advocating Asia as their probable home and others fa voring Africa. Mrs. Cos Quite Well Now And Pleased With Cardui. Mrs. W. I* Cox, 120 Church Street, Chester, S. C., says: "I suffered awfully . ,,. I would havo a terrible pain, at times; I could hardly stand it. I slept badly; my rest was dis turbed and I seemed to get littlo benefit from It. "I read about Cardui In tho papers and thought It might bo a good thing to try, so I began taking it. I was so pleased with the way I improved that I kopt on taking it until I folt quito well. Cardui helped mo so much and so many people havo remarked a- bout my Improvement.” Cardui has been usod and recommended by thou- ands of other women, for over 45 years. Try it CAROUI A Vegetable Tonic Oath Tczkcn Sericus^y by Orthodox Moslems Swearing I11 Turkey is no slight matter. When a Turk breaks an oath lie lias made In tiie name of Allah, the traditional expiation is a long and costly affair. If the oath breaker Is wealthy—that Is, If ho has visible means of support for a year—lie must give bread to. fifteen widows, sacri fice a fat sheep to be given to the poor, and he himself must fast for seven dnj*3 and seven nights. When a poorer sinner breaks Ids oath lie must fast for tho same length of time, hut Instead of tiie gifts of bread and mutton lie must take u long stick, break it into three pieces over ids head or over the head of the person involved I11 the broken oath, and t lion throw Hie broken pieces out of (lie window. Tiie sticks are supposed to absorb the curse engendered by taking tiio name of Allah In vain, and with tiie (browing out of tiie sticks 1 ho sinner feels himself absolved. Nothing Like It Wllhout waiting to be announced or even knocking at Hie door, the young man strode Into (lie private ofllee of tiie managing director. Tiie business limn looked up from Ids correspond ence and Inquired sharply; “Well, what do you want?” “I want a Job, sir," answered tho culler. “'Veil,” Inquired tiie other, amused In spite of ids Indignation at tiie in terruption, "wlint can you do?" "Oil, anything, sir,” was tiie ready answer. “Anything, eh? And what Is your motto for business life?" “The same as yours, sir,” said the young man. “And wlint Is Hint, may I ask?" “The one on your door, sir— ‘Push.’ ” FOR MAYOR. 1 herey announce for Mayor of Dnh- ouega and solicit the vote and sup port of every citizen.

Shat Door of Own Tomb Robert Louis Stevenson once de scribed Father Damien as "the man who shut with liis own hands Hie door of his sepulcher.” Father Damien was 11 Belgian missionary who went out to Hawaii In 3872 to minister to the victims of leprosy in tiie colony on Molokai. He founded schools, Im proved housing conditions and made the colony a brighter and more habit able place. Gradually the hideous dis ease took hold on tiie benevolent mis sionary and Stevenson’s description became a grim fact.
