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, hut ars helping every legitimate and k deserving busir.ou enterprise a ! they an.—Dawson News. THE TWO NEIGHBORS. One of Them Gives Hut Version ot tne Condition ot Affairs.

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 tele. 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 World Magazine.

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 American. Ministers and Ambassadors.
