NOT BURIED AT SEA.
The Hniie French Boatman and
the Dead Englishman.
A long expected French lugger wow
•een making for the roadstead, and the,
Lowestoft free traders were on the
alert, anxiously seeking, an opportu¬
nity for communicating with her crew.
While they waited for a lapse of vigi¬
lance on the part of the excisemen, a
boat was lowered from the lugger and
rowed toward the shore. A curious
crowd of beach men and excisemen;
assembled to meet her, and as she
came In on the crest of a roller It was
observed that she contained a coffin.
The French boatmen bad a mournful
tale to tell. On board the lugger had
been an Englishman suffering from an
Illness which soon proved fatal. In his
last moments of consciousness he had
begged the captain not to bury him at
sea, but to keep his body until a rest¬
ing place could be found for It under
the green turf of a churchyard In his
native land. Sympathy with his sad
fate and the knowledge that the lugger
was not far from the English coast!
had Induced the captain to consent,
and now he had sent the body ashore
for burial. In spite of his broken Eng¬
lish, the Frenchmen's spokesman told
his tale well.
Both excisemen and beach men—
especially the latter—loudly expressed!
their admiration of the captain’s con¬
duct. A parson was summoned, and
in a little while a mournful procession
made Its way from the beach to the
churchyard. Even the chief officer of
the excisemen was present and is said
to tiave shed tears.
That night the local “resurrection¬
ists” were busy, and at dawn the
churchyard contained a desecrated
grave. A little way Inland, however,
in the midst of the niarsbes, a smug¬
glers' store received the addition of a
coffin Siled with silks and lace!—

Too Harried.
A “tenderfoot” who was trying his
luck on a western ranch was at first
horrified by the table etiquette which
prevailed among his associates.
One day his feelings evidently came
so near the surface that a cowboy
whose performances with a table knife
of unusual size had aroused the ten¬
derfoot’s amazement, paused with an¬
other knifeful of food half way to his
lips.
“What’s the matter?” Inquired the
cowboy with disconcerting promptness,
In the tone of one who means to be
answered.
“Ah—er—nothing," hastily responded
the tenderfoot
"Look here/' cried the cowboy, with
an accompanying thump of his un¬
occupied hand on the table, “1 want

A RARE VOLUME BY PENN.
Only Known Copy I* Owned by
Rnnker* In Philadelphia.
The only known copy of Penn’s issue
of "Magna Charts.” published in 1987
by the Bradford Press, is the property
of tbe Meeting For Sufferings, a repre¬
sentative body of tbe Friends’ yearly
sceetinjr in, Philadelphia. TfP title is
THE TRIBUNE.
BUCHANAN. GA,. FRIDAY, JULY 12, 190I.
“The Excellent Privilege of Liberty
and Propriety, Being the Birthright of
the Freeborn Subjects of England.”
The copy is not generally open to the
public.
The peculiar significance of this book
is that a half dozen years after Penn
founded bis colony he wished to have
the colonists keenly realize that they
would have to stand for their rights in
the new country as well as the old,
where they had been so cruelly perse¬
cuted. He wrote this book in order that
they might be informed on the consti¬
tution of their local government and
know what were the legal bases of
their rights as citizens.
Curiously enough the only proof
there is that this work was William
Penn’s is the statement made by Chief
Justice David Lloyd in 1728, a great
Quaker leader who was Penn’s attor¬
ney general at the time the book was
Issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also
at that time an intimate friend of Wil¬
liam Penn and consequently knew
whereof he spoke.
The volume was reproduced In fac¬
simile by the Philobiblon club In 1897
for a limited number of subscribers.
The original volume, however, must al¬
ways remain the rare thing that it is,
one of the best expressions of liberty
under law that the mind of the great
founder could conceive.—Philadelphia

MILTON RELICS AT HARVARD
llgMtiT* la am Aatoaraph Albnm
mad tbe Poet'* Copy of “Pindar.”
The Harvard library numbers among
Its treasures an autograph of Milton
and a copy of “Pindar” annotated in
Milton’s own handwriting, with mar¬
ginal notes in Greek and Latin. Both
of these rarities were bequeathed to
the university by Charles Sumner.
Tbe "Pindar” Is dated 1620 and was
doubtless used by Milton during his
stay at Cambridge university. At the
end be has added an alphabetical index
in manuscript, occupying two closely
written pages of all the authors cited
In his notes, with references to the
pages in whicb their names occur.
Milton’s autograph is found in the
pages of an autograph album or visit-
ora' book kept, according to a custom
common In the sixteenth century, by a
Neapolitan nobleman, Camlllus Car-
doyn by name, who resided ia Geneva
from 1608 to 1640. where Milton, ap¬
parently, visited him. Another auto¬
graph in this same album among the
hundreds which it contains Is that of
Thomas Wentworth, the unfortunate
Earl of Stafford. Milton’s signatures Is
dated Jan. 10, 1639, and Is appended
to a Latin motto-^’Tra vel changes one’s
sky, but not one’s mind,” It may be
freely rendered and a quotation from
his own "Comus:”
"If Vertuc treble were.
Heaven itselfe would stoope to her.”
The most notable Milton manuscript
known to exist Is a little book now
owned by Trinity college, Cambridge,
England, whicb contains the poet’s
copies of his so called minor poems, in¬
cluding “L’Allegro” and “II Pensero-
so.” In this country, however, It is
said that the only original memorials
of the great author of “Paradise Lost”
are to be found in these two time stain¬
ed volumes in the possession of the
Harvard library.
A Cement Which Resists Acid.
In some branches of Industry a ce¬
ment which is proof against the influ¬
ence of acids is absolutely essential,
and such a substance can be prepared
by melting together one part of India
rubber with two parts of linseed oil.
This should be gradually Incorporated
with three parts of white bole so as to
form a plastic mass. This when heated
softens but very little. Though It does
not easily dry upon the surface, when
once set It Is not affected at all by
drocliloric acid and but very little by
nitric acid. Its drying and hardening
is materially promoted by mixing with
one-flfth of its weight of litharge or
minium.

THE PIANO AT ITS BEST.
Foir Time* a Year Hone Too Often
to Hare a Piano Toned.
“There are plenty of people,” said a
piano tuner, "who let their pianos go
one, two, three years without tuning,
and in some cases pianos thus neglect¬
ed may not get very, very woefully off,
but a piano should be tuned every three
months. That would be none too often
to keep It in order.
"As a matter of fact, a piano begins
to get out of tune again at once after
it has been tuned. How could it be
otherwise? Nothing stands still. This
difference would at first be so slight as
scarcely to he perceptible to any but
the practiced and sensitive ear of aD
expert tuner, but it is there. Doesn’t a
clock begin to run down as soon as it is
wound up? Four times a year a piano
ouglit to be tuned, but only a compara¬
tively small percentage of people give
their plnnos that atTentlori which Is
needed to k€s>p them fnHhelr most per¬
fect loveliness of tone. Piano makers
and dealers of course are looking gfter
the tuning of their pianos Mn stock
scrupulously and carefully all the time.
You don't hear pianos out of tune in a
piano wareroom. They never let aini. them
get out of tune there. They in
fact, at keeping them as near perfec-
tion as they can.
"We are pretty sure to find In every
new piano something pleasing and at-
tractive. Some share at least of this
pleasing quality comes from Its being
In perfect tune. In fact, to keep any
piano at its best it must be kept in
tune, and to attain the results most sat-
isfactory to all, to the owner and the
neighbors alike, a tuning tonic should
be administered to every piano not less
than four times a year.”—New York

Heartburn.
When the quantity of food taken is
a
too large or the quality too rich heart-
burn is likely to follow, and especially
so if the digestion has been weakened
by constipation. Eat slowly and not
too freely of easily digested food:
Masticate the food thoroughly. Let
six hours elapse between meals, and
when you feel a fullness and weight
in the region of the stomach after eat¬
ing, indicating that you have eaten
too much, take one ol Chamberlain’s
Stomach and Liver Tablets and the
heartburn may be avoided. For sale

RUBBER HISTORY.
Van That Came With Cslambu Saw
Haitians Playing Ball.
"The world was a long time learning
the uses and value of rubber.” says H.
E. Armstrong in Ainslee’s. “For two
centuries after the Spaniards saw the
gum In the hands of natives of the new
world it was little more than a curios
ity. Old Herroa, who weut with Co¬
lumbus on Ills second voyage, made- a
D0 { t , 0 f an pjnstie ball which was mold-
ed from the gmn of a tree. At their
games the nude Haitians made it
bound high in the air. The Aztecs were
familiar with the gum and called it ule,
and from them the Spaniards learned
to smear It on their coats to keep out
the wet. They had crossed the seas
for gold and never dreamed of a time
when the sticky milk the uncouth In¬
dians drew from strange trees would
be worth more than the treasure of the
bills.
"Jose, king of Portugal, in 1555. comes
down to us as the wearer of a pair of
boots sent out to Para to be covered
with a waterproof gum. Yet 300 years
were to elapse before a Connecticut
Yankee should make a pair of boots of
rubber which would not decompose.
Dr. Priestly, author of a work on ‘Per¬
spective/ now forgotten, recorded that
caoutchouc (pronounced kaehook) was
useful In small efibes for rubbing out
pencil marks;'hence the name rubber.
The India linked with it refers to the
savages who gathered it in the Amazon
wilderness. Dr. Priestly’s cubes were
half an inch long and sold for 3 shil¬
lings. or 75 cents, apiece—a stiff price,
for the finest rubber today is $1 a
pound. Its price for ten years has
ranged from 62 cents to $1.09.
“The conversion of the gum to useful
purposes made but slow headway. The
fli^t waterproof cloth In 1797 was the
work of an Englishman. It was tenta¬
tive, and, of course, it would not stand
heat In 1823 Charles Mackintosh of
Glasgow discovered naphtha and. dis¬
solving rubber in It. produced a varnish
which, when spread on cloth, made it
really Impervious to water. Most of
the rubber used in the world still comes
from equatorial South America, and
the forests where the Indians gathered
ule are as dense today and almost as
little known to white men as in the
time O—
During last May an infant child of
our neighbor wa-* suffering from chol¬
era infantum. The doctors had given
up all hopes of recovery. I took a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy to the bouse,

good if used according to directions.
In two days time the child had fully
recovered. The child is now vigorous
and healthy. I have recommended
this remedy frequently and hnveimver
known it to fail.—Mrs. Curtis Baker.

STANDARD TIME.
▲ Table or the Hone Reckonings Of
All Nations.
The difficulty of appreciating the dif¬
ference in time'that prevails between
different countries is very general, and
the following list is printed for the pur-
pose of a ready reference guide by
which to calculate the time of any op¬
currcuce in another country. All na-
except Spain, Portugal and Rus-
sia calculate their time from the merl-
dlan of Greenwich, accepting as stand-
ard some even hour meridian east of
west of Greenwich. For instance:
Western European time, or that of
the meridian of Greenwich, is legal in
England. Belgium. Holland and Lux-
emburg.
Central European time, or one hour
east of Greenwich. Is legal In Germany,
Austrla-Unngnry, Bosnia and Herzego¬
vina, the Kongo Free State. Denmark.
Italy, Servla, Sweden. Norway and
Switzerland.
Eastern F.uropean time, or two hours
east of Greenwich, is adopted by Bul¬
garia, Rouniunla, Natal and Turkey in
Europe.
Eight hours east of Greenwich ap¬
plies to the Philippines.
Nine hours east of Greenwich is
adopted by central Australia ard Ja¬
pan.
Ten hours east of Greenwich Is offi¬
cial in Victoria, Queensland and Tas¬
mania.
Eleven and a half hoar* east haa
been adopted by New Zealand.
The United States. Cauadn and Mexi¬
co have adopted the fifth, sixth, sev¬
enth and eighth hours west of Green¬
wich.
The Hawaiian Islands adopt the me¬
ridian of 10% bourn west.
In Spain the meridian of Madrid, 14
minutes 45 seconds west of Green¬
wich, is legal; in Portugal, that of Lis¬
bon, or 36 minutes 39 seconds west,
and in Russia, that of St. Petersburg,
or 2 hours. 1 minute ami 13 seconds
east of Greenwich.—Detroit Free Press.
PAID FOR THE PICTURES.
Where the Money Came Frans That
Settled the Bill.
"For diplomatic kindness 1 will never
forget one man.” remarked a well
known sportsman of Pittsburg. “He
certainly knew how to do the right
thing, and although It didn’t cost him
anything It helped a crowd of ua out
of an embarrassing predicament for
the time. A party of young fellows,
myself iu the number, were camping
years ago on the Beaver river, not far
from Rock point. None of us had much
money after getting our outfit and the
farmers got about all that was left
in exchange for milk and butter. One
day three of us decided to go up to the
picnic grounds, and. just as luck would
have it we met a crowd of girls from
our own town. It was a happy meet¬
ing all around until some fool girl
suggested that we all get our pictures
taken. To save our lives, the three of
us boys eouldu't have raised a total of
16 cents, but like true soldiers of for¬
tune we decided to go ahead and trust
to luck to meet the obligation.
“The artist eyed us rather qnoerly
and our hearts began to fall After a
whispered consultation I was delegated
to take him aside and negotiate with
him: 1 was authorized to slake every,
thing we had. even down to our good
names. I stated the case briefly but
eloquently, and 1 must have made a
good Impression, for. when i had fin¬
ished. he said It would be all right
The strangest part of it all to me was
when be banded me a dollar bill.
“ ’1 know how It is myself.' he said.
‘You want to put up a bluff befor*
these girls. Just band me the dollar
for the pictures when I’m through.’
“That was what pleased me, and I
flashed that bill before the girls with
the air of a magnate. It was Just a
mouth later that 1 learned from b
brother of one of the girls that they
bnd noticed our worried looks and had
forestalled us by paying the pho¬
tographer the dollar I flourished so
proudly,"—Pittsburg News.
