ed to do likewise—the petitioners
siguiug themselves. "The Unmarried |

j that "bachelors are ot no earthly use
i except as pall bearers," The Supreme

peal, has deeided that bachelor's life j
' j is worth but sl. The Charleston News

ACTIVITIES FOR THE SUMMER, i
The coming summer will most like
ly see iu Danville the busiest boom for I
many years. From all indications the *
vast improvements aud building opera
tions at the hospital will be started
this year, aud will employ huudreds
of men. The paving of North Mill
street will cause a good deal of iuter
est to be centered in that section of
town, while the houses that will bo

The Italian housewives of the poorer
classes seem to have one unchangeable
recipe for a baking. Agents of charita
ble societies have found this out by the
women always asking for a certain
number of pounds of flour, Just enough
for one baking. In their grocery lists.
They make the flour luto a number of
loaves, which, put into one pan, bake
into one great loaf. The size of the
family seems to make no difference. If !
*ie family Is small, the bread simply !
lasts a little longer and gets a little ,
drier. The bread Is very good when !
fresh. They do not use as much yeast
«« American cooks, and the bread Is
very crusty, something on the order of
French bread. The poorest families
also use a great deal of "polenta." :
This Is merely flour stirred into boil
ing water, after the manner of old
fashioned American "hasty pudding,"
only that flour is used Instead of corn
iueal. No people In the world are so
devoted to wheat flour as the Italians.

j GARGOYLES.
Orlfln of These Quaintly Formed
Heada or Figures.
Gargoyles are quaintly formed heads,
faces or figures used in ancient times
for decorative purposes and chiefly ap
plied as the terminals of waterspouts
upon roofs or gables. The rain stream
was arranged to flow through the
mouth, and the word gargoyle Itself
Is an attempt to imitate the "gurgling"
sound made by the water in passing
through the throat of the grotesque
monster.
Gargoyles were the caricatures of
mediaeval times. Many were carved
by monkish masons, who took the op
portunity of handing onto posterity
the distorted lineaments of their fel
lows or even of their superiors, recog
nisable as likenesses from some promi
nent characteristic.
The famous gargoyles of Notre Dame
In Paris are supposed to have had sotn*
such origin, while others of supposedly
the same origin are to be seen In
churches throughout Brittany and Nor
mandy as well as here and there In
England.—London Telegraph.

PLAYING CARDS.
Peculiarities of Those Used by the
Different Nations.
"One of the most Interesting collec
tions of foroigu loot that I've seen
recently," said a man ordinarily too
busy to make the trip over the seas
himself, "Is an assortment of playing
cards from various parts of the world.
"In every country the owner of the
collection visited—and he went to a
good many—picked up cards of local
manufacture and so representative of
the nation.
"The Russian cards are perhaps the
most elaborate. The faces of the kings
and queens are different in each suit,
indicating the racial elements that go
to compose the empire.
"On the Greek cards classical heroes
and heroines are represented. Nestor,
for example, Is the king of hearts and
Orestes the knave. Agamemnon Is the
king of clubs, Hercules the jack of
spades and Minos and Danae the king
and queen of diamonds. The Greek
pack Is rather a cheap one and scarce
ly does honor to the celebrities por
trayed.
"Cadiz Is a center for card manufac
turing. The Idea of the Spanish card
maker seems to bo to get as much color
on the cards as possible. The royal
robes are of unusual magnificence.
The clubs are big bludgeons In green
and red, and the knave of clubs, gayly
caparisoned on a prancing horse, re
minds you Instantly of Jack the Giant
Killer. The spades are ugly little dag
gers, aud for hearts and diamonds
there are disks and dice cups. The
cards in some of the Spanish packs are
very thin and have a capital spring.
"The Madeira cards come from Lis«
bou. The figures are more convention
al in design than on the Spanish. Thd
ace cards are adorned with typical
Portuguese scenes.
"A peculiarity of the pack bought in
Constantinople Is that the ace cards
in addition to the sing'e spade, dla
i mond, club or heart In the center of
each, have diminutive aces at the up
per left hand and lower right hand j
corners.
"The Italian face cards portray do- !
cidedly gloomy personages. Each on*
of the face cards, by the way, carriel I
in small print the name and address o(
the maker. There are tiny packs, an

"Cairo is a great card emporium, and

scenes from lands both we°t and east.
"The gem of all the packs comes

Silvering Mirrors.
I Mirrors are usually silvered by coat
ing the glass with amalgam. For this
j purpose a large, perfectly fiat stone is
I provided, and upon it Is evenly spread
i a sheet of tin foil without crack or

] one-eighth of an inch with clean mer
! cury. The plate of glass, perfectly
! cleaned from all grease and impurity,
lis floated onto the mercury by sliding,
; BO as to exclude all air bubbles. It is
! then pressed down by loading It with
' "weights In order to press out all the
mercury which remains fluid. This is
received In a gutter around the stone.
After about twenty-four hours It is
I gently raised upon Ifs edge, and in a
| few weeks it is ready to frame.
His Perseverance.
Henry Arthur Jones, the noted Eng

dents of Yale an address on the drama.
"Your American vernacular Is pictur
esque." he said, "and It should help
your playwrights to build strong, racy
plays. But neither vernacular nor any
thing else Is of moment If persever
ance is lacking. No playwright can
succeed who Is like a man I know. I
said to tills man one New Year's day,
'Do you keep a diary, Philip?' 'Yes,'
he answered. 'l've kept one for the
first two weeks In January for the
last seven years.' "

CUTTLEFISH FARMS.
Whore the* Queer Creature® Are CuV
tlvated to Re Milked.
' Does any one know that cuttlefish
are cultivated on farms to be milked 1
These cuttlefish farms are located off
the coasts of Great Britain, and the
cuttlefish are kept in tanks or ponds
to be milked of their ink. The pond 01
tank is connected with the sea by a
pipe, and a thousand or more cuttles
are kept in a single one.
They form a most curious sight as
they move about, trailing their long
arms and staring out of their bulging
eyes. They are guarded by screens
which prevent them from being scared,
for If they are suddenly frightened
they will squirt their milk Into th«
water, and it would therefore be lost
This fluid or milk is very valuable,
and a cuttle will yield about $3 worth
a year. It is secreted in a bag which
can be opened and closed at will, the
cuttle ejecting the fluid to darken the
water so that it may escape unseen
when attacked.
The best cuttlefish are procured in
China, where for some reason or othei
they produce the best quality of milk.
When the farmer considers It oppor
tune to milk the cuttles he proceeds by
opening the sluices of the pond and
gently ngitating the water. The cut
j ties then swim around the pond, and
as soon as one passes through the
is closed. The cuttle passes
down a small channel Into a basin or
metal receptacle, and as soon as it is
securely there the water is drained off.
It is then frightened and at once
squirts the fluid from the bag. When
ft Is exhausted It is lifted out, the iuilk
Is collected aud the basin prepared foi
another.
MODERN CIVILIZATION.
Its Complexity, Hurry nn«l Worry
Shortening Our Lives.
Not long ago while traveling I chanc
ed to stop at a village on the river
Rhine, where I found an astonishing
number of old people. There were a
dozen over a hundred years of age and
many from eighty years old up to the
ceutury mark, yet straight and vigor
ous. One woman nearly a hundred
years old was earning her living by
picking hops. Iler grandchildren were
middle aged. It was quite wonderful.
But there wrs no mystery about it. It
was merely the effect of a simple life
*pent largely in the fields, with plain
diet, consisting of a few vegetables
and fruits, little meat, and native beer
and wine for beverages.
Nothing can be more obvious than
that the very complexity of our mod
ern civilization is shortening our lives,
j But of all the evils that afilict us tha
worst and most destructive are hurry
' and worry. Hurry drives the body ma
chine beyond its capacity, while worry
racks it inwardly. Of the two worry
Is probably the worse. This might in
deed be called the age of worry. Be
cause of the intense nervous strain to
which we are subjected we do vastly
more worrying than did our forbears.
The average man of today is continual
j ly surrounded and pursued by phantom
troubles, which, though few of them
! ever materialize into realities, haunt

mind and Injuring his health.—Reader

The Turk nml III* Toilet.
Though the dress of the Turk is elab-
I orate, he Is most fastidious when it
comes to qucstious of dress, ne give 9
| one hour or more to the adorning of his
mustache. It is 110 mean task to change
it from flaxen to jet black, perfume it
with rose and amber and soothe tha
straggling ends. Another hour Is given
to the dyeing of his lips and the caring
1 for his eyelids and another In practlc
[ lng his most fascinating smile. He
I gives the same attention to his wearing
apparel. It is of finest broadcloth or
1 velvet and covered with embroidery of
i heavy gold, nis arms and chest are
! j left bare to show the splendid polish
of his ebony skin. Grace is added by
his capote, draped with great chic. But
this splendor would be nothing with
, out a sword with gilt handle, a watch
with concealed miniature, a tobacco
pouch of knitted gold and a pistol often
studded with precious stones.—Chicago
Tribune.
Do OMtrlchen Ever D(«T
Nothing is positively known as to
how long ail-oatruh will live. Some
writers claim that it will live 100
years. Ostriches which are known to
have been in captivity for forty
years are still breeding and producing
feathers. It is the experience of Ari
zona farmers that among the birds
having good nutritious green feed
deaths seldom occur except as the re
sult of accident. A dog or other smal/
animal will sometimes frighten os
triches and cause them to run into the
fence, which may result in a broken
leg. When this happens the bird may
ns well be killed, as few ever recover
from such an injury.—National Geo
graphic Magazine. *
