Spare Moments.
What iln you do with your ppare
moments? Do you use them to boiler
yourself, or do you use them for h
Rood time?
You have urnbitionp. every intelligent
person hut'. Why don't you show the
vorkl whnt you can do? Are you
waitiug for something to turn up that
will (five you promotion? That is
mighty uncertain. You may be wait
ing thirty years from now for smile-
'king to turn up and your best days
ure past. Then what will you do when
you realize your life has been a failure?
When you go down the street, look, and
you can see examples of people who
have been waiting for something to
turn up. Ask them and they will tell
you where they made their mistakes.
Make use of your spare moments by
training yourself for u better position.
Make your own opportunities. Show
the business world you are a live one,
then they will receive you with open
?rm->.
'Mako something out of yourself.
Make up yo.ur mind at once.
Take one moment now, nr.d sum up
the number of hours you are wasting
each day. Many of our most promi
nent menof tliiscourtry have won their
distinction by mukiDg use of their spare
moments.
Keep Your Credit Good.
GeJartown Standard.
The merchant who makes an honest
effort to pay his debts is not at all
likely to be crowded by his creditors,
and the same is true of the farmer.
We doubt if any of them who honestly
try to meet their obligations will have
any trouble in making arrangements to
be tided over this time of stress. Na
turally enough, the man who doesn't
try (be he farmer or merchant) is
pretty apt to strike u snag—several of
them, in fact.
The manjwho is able to hold cotton
several months may make money by it.
We don’t know. If we did know, we’d
get rich right quick. But we do know
tbit: The man who owes money for
early payment should get busy at once
figuring whether it is best for him to
sell his cotton or borrow money on it to
pay his debts. It may be that he
can’t pay out—there may be many a
farmer and merchant in that fix this
fall—but lie will find it greatly to his
interest to keep his credit good, what
ever his occupation may be.
A well-known Western Senator re
cently visited a harl-er shop where the
barber, failing to recognize his patron,
’vas very talkative.
He ventured ou all the timely topics
of the day, and although the Senator
did not, apparently, enter into the spir
it of conversation very keenly, the t.on-
sorial artist’s enthusiasm was not visi-
>Iv dampened.
Finally he asked:
‘‘Have you ever been in here before?”
“Once,” said the Senator.
“Strange that 1 don’t recall your
"ace.”
“Not at all,” the Senator assured
him. “It altered greatly in healing.”
■—The banks of Georgia have always
been enterprising, accommodating and
helpful in times of prosperity and in
dustrial activity, and that they carry a
full share of the burden in times of
stress is shown by the consolidated re
port of State banks, as published a few
days ago by Treasurer Speer. Their
loins and discounts are equal to their
capital stocks, surplus funds, net profits
and deposits, and that is certainly as
much as they can loan and keep on the
safe side. None of them are hoarding,

THE TWO NEIGHBORS.

My neigliltor harbors the aforesaid

My neighbor had live offspring—
four boys and one hi drosses vet.
These uuiuse themselves by climbing
my fruit trees, breaking my fence,
stoning my aunt’s white rat. playing
Olympic games ou my lawn. etc.
Neighbor says: “Don’t you Jest can't

My neighbor owns a phonograph,

you wouldn't believe the other two.
He plays the machine only ou hot

When Flour Was Scarce.
The scarcity of Hour drove the privy
council to some remarkable sumptuary
recommendations in 179.". All families
were begged to give up puddings and
[lies and the privy councilors a muni no.
ed that they promised to set an eX'
ample by confining themselves to fish,
meat, vegetables and household bread,
partly made of rye. One-quartern loaf
a week was recommended as the maxi
mum allowance per head, and the loaf
should be put on the table for each to
help himself so that there might tie
no waste. Rich people were urged to
do without soups and gravies, to take
only the prime cuts and leave the rest
for the poor The poor should be taught
how to make soup and rice pudding,
rice being a new food which until then
had been little used.—London Cbron

LINED WITH SPIDER WEBS.
Oc« Hu* to Out One's Way Through
the Roads of Paraguay.
The roads of Paraguay are about the
yards wide throughout, and the trees
•iicii overhead at a height id' sonic
eighteen feel, thus forming a tunnel of
'ey uniform dimensions. In the dear
Parts of the tunnel that Is. where It
Is ii"t choked tip with the giant net
tic it is full from roof to ground of
enormous spiders' welw stretching
clear across the road, the big trees
usually being chosen as anchorages
and the total clear span being thus
more lllu> eight yards than live.
The main rallies or framework of
the nets are composed of five or six
strands of thick yellow web and are
ilmosf as strong as cotton thread. The
rest of the net Is made up of single and
double strands of the same stout uni-
lerlnl, which Is as sticky as it is strong.
Every yard or so one of these nets ex
tends across one's path, making it nee.
cssary to hold a cutlass or a fairly
stout stick at arm's length In front as
one walks.
The makers of these troublesome lint
picturesque obstructions (ire urge,
highly colored, gaudy looking spiders
with bodies that look as if they were
about to explode, they are so blown
out and glossy.
At Intervals in some more open space
where the sky Is visible one will no
tice a different kind of well, far more
irregular In slmpo, but far larger than
the others. Not content with the
space available in the tunnel, these
webs arc stretched In complicated
mnz.es from the ground to the very
tops of the surrounding trees, with
clear spans frequently twenty or thirty
yards from one tree to another.
From these main cables smaller ones
extend to the ground—a drop of fifteen
or twenty yards—and the spaces in be
tween are filled up with a mass of
webs spun in all directions. — Wide

"Quite a simple job," be explained to
the storekeeper. "In fact, a child could
do the tiling in a few minutes."
An hour later he presented himself
once more at the store, the proprietor

SIRIUS. THE DOG STAR.
It Was Given Its Canine Name by the
Superstitious Egyptians.
The giant sun. the bl ight star Sirius,
is now called Iho “dog star” from the
very ancient and curious custom of
personification. The great tuitions of
remote antiquity personified every ac
tivity ol’ nature—that is. compared
them to living men or animals.
They didn't know a tiling of any
law of nature, so tliey-satd that motion
is caused by living animals, because
only animals have the Inscrutably
mysterious power of moving them
selves. No wonder the ancients were
astonished to see an animal move It
self. And the wonder has vastly in
creased now, for tlii> ablest scientific
man cannot possibly see how an ani
mal Is able lo move.
The overflowing of the Nile was the
chief event in all of Egypt. Without
Ibis pouring of water over the land
once each year, the valley would be a
desert. The Egyptians at a certain
period In their long history noticed
that when they first saxv the star Sirius
early in the morning before sunrise
the Nile river began to rise and pour
over the banks. They personified
Sirius as a watchdog, watching the
sun and the Nile and the land of
Egypt, its people, destiny and harvests.
The Egyptian name of the Nile was
Siris, and the faithful dog watching
in the sky was finally named Sirius.
Centuries later I heir horrible religion
taught that it: was necessary to mur
der or sacrifice a dog to the .star Sirius
to secure Us aid in growing grains and
herds. This terrible habit of slaughter
ing animals to propitiate Imaginary
gods descended to the Greeks and Ro
mans. The Romans named the stars
near Sirius the constellation Cauls
Major (the great dog).--.New York

Ministers and Ambassadors.
The first minister plenipotentiary
from the L'nited States to England was
John Adams. Thomas Pinckney of
South Carolina became the first, minis
ter to England under the constitution.
The Unltei] States continued to be rep
resented by ministers until 1SU3, when
Thomas F, Bayard of Delaware be
came the first American ambassador
to the court of Sf. James. The first
British minister to the l'nited States
was George Hammond, who was ap
pointed in 1701. Lord rauneefote be
came the first British ambassador to
Washington in 1S93-
He Fell Right In.
Ills Wife—1 met our maid Anna just
now on the street ( and she pretended
not to see me. Her Husband—You
ought to point out to Anna the Impro
priety of siicb conduct. His Wife—But
how can I? You see, she had another
girl with her, and it was quite evident
she didn't want her friend to know she
was working for a woman who wore a
