Elder Humphrey is doing a
grand work in the meeting at the
Christian chnrch. Already a
large number have been brought
into the church and the members
have been very much revived and
encouraged.
The meeting at the Denton street
Methodist church is growing in
interest. Rev. J. L. Pierce is cer-
tainly an effective preacher and is
doing much good. Prof. Evans is
one of the finest singers in the
country and the meeting is one of
deep interest.
Captain Wright is making an
effort to secure General Gordon to
deliver here his famous lecture,
The Last Days of the Confederacy.''
This would no doubt draw well,
and Genei-al Gordon is one of the
grandest men living. Let us get
him if possible.
Up to date the Santa Fe com-
pany have shipped from this sta-
tion 2350 bales of cotton, 2200 of
which has gone direct to points in

This is exactly four times the
number of bales shipped from here
on corresponding dates last year.—

meritorious one.—Ringgold Mes-

Antiquity of Smoking. I
In the mortar of the tower of Kirk- 1
stall abbey, which fell in the year 1779,
Whittaker mentions that several little
"smoking pipes" were found, showing
that the smoking of some herb or other
was in use in England 400 years before
tobacco was introduced. Dr. Petrie
mentions that pipes of bronze for smok-
ing are often found in ancient Irish tu-
muli. In the monument of Donough
O'Brien, king of Thomond, who was
killed A. D. 1627 aud interred in the
abbey of Corcumrae, County Clare, he
is represented with a short pipe, or du-
deen, in his mouth.
It may bo observed that in some very
ancient coal workings, which were
found under Lambton castle some 30
years ago, some of these very old smok-
ing pipes were found, and a generation
or two ago not far from Lambton very
poor old folks might often be seen smok-
ing the common white flowered yarrow,
a herb frequently found in country
churchyards. —Newcastle Chronicle.
Hard to I'leaM.
Mrs. Henpeeker is one of those wives
there is no pleasing. On the return of
her husband from the city last week she
greeted him thusly:
"Oh, Adolplius," she exclaimed,
"how short you have had your hair
cut!"
"But, my dear Angelina," replied
Mr. H. meekly, "I haven't had my hair
cut at all."
"Then it is high time you had," re-
turned Mrs. H. severely.—Leeds (Eng-
land) Mercury.
A Bureau of Information.
When the cook, disturbed by the
fierce barking of the dog, opened the
kitchen door, she observed a tramp hang-
ing for dear life on the top of a clothes
line post, with the dog jumping for him.
She called off the dog, but he still hung
on.
"Why don't you come down off that
post?" she asked angrily.
"Don't ask me, lady," answered the
tramp; "don't ask ma Ask the dog."

Charmed by a Snake.
Snakes travel a good deal on'tbeir
reputation. They scare birds and small
animals so they become helpless. We all
know this to be a fact. And then when
they get in a tight place with a man
they try to run a bluff on him. A law-
yer in our town once met a rattlesnake
down in the Ozarks and began to experi-
ment, or rather to let the snake experi-
ment, to see if there was anything in
the snake charming theory. He said
that the snake's eyes got brighter and
brighter, and his scales became glisten-
ing, and his body seemed to swell up a
little thicker, and the whole outfit be-
came so engrossing that he finally ran
away from the snake in a dead scare
and didn't get over it for a good while
after. He told me that it was his belief
that if lie had kept company with that
snake much longer he would have lost
his wits.—Forest and Stream.
Changing Colon of Glass.
In lecturing on the ruby at the Royal
institution, Loudon, recently Professor
John W. Judd, the well known English
geologist, alluded to the changes in color
which certain kinds of glass undergo
when exposed to light. The green glass
panes in the conservatories at Kew
gradually change through shades of yel-
low to a purplish hue under the action
of light. Rubies change color in a cu-
rious way under the action of heat.
Blni«h rubies turn green and on cooling
regain their original tint. The blue
sapphire turns white, and the yellow
corundum crystal becomes green.
In Paris it iB gravely told that boxes
provided with slit* are attached to tomb-
stohes. Into them are dropped the cards
of remembering friends who make the
pilgrimage to the graves of the dead.
