Futlicro line and ««nI•» t. French
priests, who in the con.-e of their
travels In 1845 had rcaelnxl "Blue
Town,” were from their dress mistak
en for Tartar lamas and when tiny
sought to have a silver Ingot changed
to eo|i|ier cash found the change short. (
The weight showed by I lie scales was j
correct, hut when the eldef clerk took j
thi' *wnti|inn. or counting frame, and !
milled the amounts tbe result seemed

"This is an exchange office," said thr
travelers. "We are the sellers, you the
buyers. You have made your onleuln
tlons; give tis pencil aud |i»i|i*-r, and wf
will make ours.”
“Nothing could he more Just. You
have laid down u fundamental princi
ple of the taw of commerce," replied
the Chinese clerk, confident of their Ig
norance, as he gave them the articles.
A very short calculation sufficed to
■how the French men that they were te
be cheated of a thousand sapeks.
"Riqierintmdeiit of the bank.” they
■aid, "your swanpiiu is in error by a
thousand snjieks.”
"Impossible! I)o you think that all of
• sudden I’ve forgotten how to tise my
■wnnpim? I.et me go over It again.”
He proceeded wit!) an air of great
anxiety to do so and 1111111111x1 Ills pre
vious result.
“I knew I was right," he declared,
passing the frame to a colleague. "Roe,
brother." The colleague calculated and
attained the same result.
"You see," said the principal, "liters
Ii no error. How Is It that our ealeula-
tlon does not agree with what you have
written V"
"It is unimportant lo Inquire why
yotir calculation does riot agree with
wlint Is written." refilled the French
man suavely. "This Is certain—yours la

that we have traced upon this paper
■re very different from your swanpun.
It Is Impossible for them to he wrong.
Were all the calculators In the world

The money changers were extremely

r«*d when a bystander, seeing how awk

self as umpire. "I'll reckon it up for
yotl," lie said. And his result agreed
with that Of the Frenchmen. The su
perintendent of the hunk imulc a pro
found how.
"Sirs lamas," said lie "your matins
malms are better Ilian mine.”
"Oil, liot at all," replied the French
men In the polite terms required by
Chinese etiquette. "Your swunpun is ex
cellent, hut who ever heard of one al
ways free from error? People like you
may well make mistakes once in
awhile, when poor ignorant folks like
us make them tens of thousands of

Thr llollinu Point.
Why Is it that in boiling in an open
Vessel such liquids as eider, etc., wa
ter only escapes in steam, while the
■trength remains, while in boiling it
lu a retort, as In a still, the strength
passes away In the steam, and in dis
tilling suit or impure water only the
pure water passes off In the steam?
This is because of a difference In
tbe botliiig {mints In tbe fluids and
tbat under the Increased pressure of
• retort the boiling point is higher than
tbat of water lu the open iffr at the
ordinary pressure of the atmosphere.
If cider had a higher boiling point than
water when the water boils at 100 de
grees it takes some little cider with it
mechanically. On the contrary, if al
cohol were present before the boiling
point of water were reached most of
tbe spirits would have passed away.
If the increased pressure of the retort
allows it ou the boiling point of the
fluids therein being reached, suppose
the licnt to tie great enough, they will
be changed to vapor and pass away,
Whatever they be.

She has revealed the secrets of her

Mill alive. For months she lay flat on
her hack on the door, motionless, with
her arms elose to her sides during sev- |
oral hours every day. This was. it ap

the rest of the day, for the same period
of time, she sat on a high stool, giving t

was corrected and made Grecian by
the constant application dny and night
for months'of a spring bandage. One
nostril was originally larger than the
other, so she wore a small sponge In it
for a yertr. Her cheeks have been
filhxl out and rounded by injections of
paraffin. Her ears for months were
compressed against the sides of her
head by springs, while heavy weights
were attached to the lobes to produce
the required elongated shape, which
has been sticflcssfully achieved. Hav

Rome people get along beautifully for
half a lifetime'- perhaps while every
thing goes smoothly. While they are
accumulating property and gaining
friends a fid reputation their characters
seem In he strong and well hnlnncod,
but the moment there is friction any
where, the moment trouble comes—a
failure iu liustnesH, n panic or n great
crisis In which they Iqse their all—they
are overwhelmed. despair, lose
heart, courage, faith, hope and power to
try again—everything. Their very man
hood or womanhood Is swallowed up
hy a mere hinUirlul loss.
This is failure Indeed, and there la
small hope for any one who falls to
such a depth of despair. There Is hope
for an Ignorant man who cannot write
his name even if he has stamina and
backbone. There s hope for a cripple
who lias courage, there Is hope for n
boy who has nerve aud grit, even
though lie Is so hemmed In that he has
apparently no chance in the world, hut
there is no hope for a man who cannot
or will not stand up after he falls, hut
loses heart when opposition strikes him
and lays down Ids arms after defeat.
Let everything else go if you must,
but never lose your grip on yourself.
Do not let your manhood or woman
hood go. Tills Is your priceless pearl,
dearer to you than your breath, (’ling
to it with all your might. Give up life
Itself tirst.—Success.
The Huh,- Ilertlr’o Criiille.
If. at almost any time of the year, we
walk (hrough the woods where the red,
scarlet, black or pin oaks are growing—
that is, where we llnd those that ripen
their acorns In two seasons and there
fore belong in the pin oak group w«
shall probably find ou the ground fallen
branches that vary in size from that of
a lead pencil to that of one’s thumb or
even larger. These at the broken end
appear as If cut away within the wood,
so that only a thin portion is left under
the hark. Within the rather uneven
cut, generally near the center of the
growth, Is a small hole tightly plugged
by the "powder post.” of a beetle larva.
Rplit open the branch or twig, when n
burrow will be seen, and the little,
white, soft, laird jawod larva that
made it will he found or perhaps t.h«
inactive pupa.—St, Nicholas.
Sunday.
Miss Lizzie Farrott, who is
spending some time with her bro
ther’s family in Fayette county,
spent Thursday night and Friday
here, with home folks.
Miss Bird, ot East Point, visited
relatives here last week.
Miss Minnie Lee Thurmond re
turned home last Sunday, after
several weeks spent with relatives
in Fayette county.
Mrs. M. D. Thurmond spent
Monday last in Newnan with Mr.

Rev. G. W. Colquitt, of Palmet
to, filled his appointment at Rock
Spring last Saturday and Sunday,
delivering able sermons to large
congregations.
Miss Rosa Leigh, a bright and
promising young lady of this com
munity, died last Monday morning
of typhoid tever. The interment
was at Jones’ Chapel.
Wild Up«rlr(.
A bundle of licorice root—slim, rough
•ticks of tobacco brown wood—lay on
the counter, and the sullor took one up
and begun to chew its end.
"1 have seen the place where this
stuff grows wild," he said. "Do you
know where that is?"
“(’nn’t soy I do,” replied the drug
gist.
"It Is along 1 lie banks,” said the sail
or, "of the Tigris mid the Euphrates.
The licorice is u wild plant in those
parts. It stands three feet high, and
its roots reach the water. For miles
and miles the licorice patches spread,
nnd the smell of them tills the air. It
is a sweet, heavy smell.
“In those parts they cut the licorice
plnnls regularly, aud they use the poor,
crooked, imperfect sticks for firewood.
The good, clean, straight sticks they
bundle up Just like this bundle here—
nnd ship to England , and America.
Rome of the sticks go to druggists, to
tie sold cheap or given away, but most
of them, nearly all of them, go to the
snuff and tobacco manufacturers. What
for? 'Why, to be used in adulter—I
mean in flavoring tobacco and snuff.”—

Why Hnilorn Wear Collars.
Probably not many people, including
the wearers themselves, know the or
igin of tlie sailor's collar. Many years
ago when Jack Tars wore their hair in
pigtails, which they were in the habit
of keeping very greasy, the backs of
their coats used to get in u very dirty
and untidy condition owing to coming
In contact with the hair, consequently
the order was given for ft detachable
nnd washable collar to he worn, so that
they might look more tidy.—London

“The <1 nest ton of temperature and of Happy Valley, were among the
ventilation,” he says, "is one of the News’ appreciated callers last
most difficult wlntt'r problems. So
much depends upon circumstances nnd Saturday
individual idiosyncrasy that It is hard
to lay down any definite rules. An In
door temperature which is suitable for
a vigorous person or one in active mo
tion is dangerous for one who is deli
cate or sitting and doing head work ex
clusively.
"As a general rule, It may be said
that n temperature that falls much be
low 70 degrees at four feet from the
floor Is dangerous for sedentary work
ers, and any one who continues sitting
when he feels chilled does so at the
risk of his life.”
