Lighthouse Can Now be Built Offthe Bia. mond Shoals, North Carolina. /’Washington, October 4.—The recent (heavy storm on the Atlantic coast de monstrated the gratifying fact that a Stable bottom has been found off Dia mond Shoals, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Sometime ago on borings made by the lighthouse board of the treasury, temporary pilings were driven down at this point.

Tho man who does most has the least tinio to talk about what ho does. We more readily confesi to errors, mis takes and shortcomings in our conduct than in our thought. Be not ashamed and apologize for what you aro found doing. Moro often bo ashamed at that which you leave undone. | With more patience men endure tho losses that befall them by mere casualty than tho damages which they sustain by, -HSJ3H&ST- ■ Oppose kindness to perverseness. Th© heavy sword will not cut soft silk. By using sweet words and gentleness you may load an elephant with a hair. Who has not experienced how, on nearer acquaintance, plainnosi becomes beautified and beauty loses its charm, according to the quality of heart and mind? Avarice makes a man a peevish and cruel master, a severe parent, an unsocia ble husband, a distant and distrustful friend and causes often an unhappy home. Remember that if the opportunities for groat deeds should never come the oppor tunity for good deeds is renewed for you day by day. The thing for us to long for is tho goodness, not the glory. Hold fast to love. If men wound thy heart, let them not sour or imbltter it. Let them not shut up or narrow it. Let them only expand it more and more and be always able to say, with St. Paul, “My heart Is enlarged.”—Montreal Star. THE ASTRONOMER. A Chicago astronomer has found a for est in the moon.—Philadelphia Record. A Chicago astronomer thinks he has discovered grass near a great crater on the moon. Somebody will see mosquitoes there next thing you know.—Exchange. An astronomer out west claims to have discovered grass on the moon. We would like to ask this western gazer upon the heavens if ho has discovered any signs warning the lunar inhabitants to “keep off the grass.”—Boston Globe. A Chicago astronomer has discovered a largo green patch on the moon and cannot determine whether it is a meadow or a forest. Doubtless it is a section of the green cheese which credulous people have long looked upon as the material from which the moon was constructed. —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It used to be said that if there were a building on the moon as large as St. Paul's cathedral in London it could be seen by Lord Host's telescope. No struc ture of such a size has been discovered, but Professor Gathmann has discovered grass, not green grass, but burned up grass. The only verdancy in this connection is that of the learned star gazer and of those who believe his extraordinary story.—Bos ton Herald. THE EDITOR. ' . Attention, dudes! The Prince of Wales has turned down his turned up trousers.— Cleveland Press. It is surprising what phenomenal poker hands a man always holds in a euchre game.—Albany Argus.

Venetian glass has lately become a fad with those who can afford it. It is ex tremely fragile and beautiful. Goblets aro no longer seen on well ap pointed tables. The tumblers are small, light and often handsomely engraved. A new toilet article has been added to the dainty silver accessories to the toilet ■ table. This Is a beautiful holder for nail and tooth brushes and tooth powder. Pincushions are all the style now, just as they tlsed to bo in the days of long ago. They are covered with chintz, mounted on decorated china and filled with almond meal. The fringing should not be done until after the work is laundered. When ready to iron, comb out the fringes of all linens | carefully with the fine teeth of a coarse comb and press them. Use either the comb i or a fine brush broom for the fringes of towels. In lunch sets only one corner of the doilies is decorated. The edges ot the piece are either fringed, buttonholed or finished with a border of the honiton lace or braid, put on in a simple pattern. The fringed or lace edge seems best suited'to the light ness and delicacy of the ferns. Pieces of table linen embroidered with ferns in their natural shades are liked nearly as well as those embroidered en- ' tirely in white, as it is possible to use any flowers or no flowers at all with them. They are especially pretty when used with pure china or with that decorated with gold, violet or pink. _THE COLONEL EULOGIZED. Republican Nominee From the Ashland District Appeals For Votes.
