How Some Old People Make Them-
selves Ridiculous.
One of the grave mistakes of some
old people is to try to appear young by
assuming the garb and manner of
youthfulness.
A man may be young in heart,
cheery, and buoyant, but he is old in
body, and this will show through what-
ever disguise he may assume.
Has any man ever deceived anyone
into thinking him younger than he is
by dyeing his hair or beard?
You know, and every man ought to
know, that it only makes them look
more wrinkled and decayed.
Women who dye—well, you know it
when they do, and you don’t think any
the better of them for it. An old wom-
an with dyed black hair and girlish
curls is just too old for anything.
Live comfortably and you will show
your comfortableness in your face and
manner, and no one will think less of
you because of your years.
But don’t forget that the manner of
your later life will be determined by
the manner of your earlier life.
ONLY 82 YEARS OLD.
“I am only 82 years old and don’t ex-
pect even when I get to be real old to
feel that way as long as I can get
Electric Bitters,” says Mrs. E. H.
Brunson, of Dublin, Ga. Surely there’s
nothing else keeps the old as young
and makes the weak as strong as this
grand tonic medicine. Dyspepsia, tor-
pid liver, inflamed kidneys or chronic
constipation are unknown after taking
Electric Bitters a reasonable time.

HAVE YOU A WANT?--If so, try a
small “ad” in Tee Star. Many wants
can and are promptly supplied if ad-
vertised in this paper. tf
cote
eral by Government.
Among the numerous mistaken ideas
that prevail regarding the functions of
the Goverment, one of the most general
is that some department in Washing-
ton is prepared to make analyses or
assays of anything in the shape of a
mineral which may be submitted by
any citizen of the country. Naturally,
the Geological Survey is credited with
thie function, and as a result not a day
passes without the receipt of a dozen
or more requests for such work. These
requests are acknowledged with the
statement that the Survey has neither
the legal authority nor the available
funds to make indiscriminate analyses
or assays for private parties.
A small appropriation is made “for
chemical and physical researches re-
lating to the geology of the United
States,” but this is inadequate for the
absolutely necessary chemical and
physical work required by the geolo-
gists in connection with these investi-
gations. Even if the appropriation
were sufficient to provide ample facil-
ities for making private analyses, it
could not be used for this purpose, un-
less such analyses were directly con-
tributory to the solution of some geo-
logic problem. Fortunately, a large
proportion of the specimens submitted
can readily be determined by means of
simple tests and careful visual exami-
nation. Such a determination is al-
ways made wherever possible, and the
person who submits the mineral is
given all the information available re-
garding it. In most cases this is quite
as satisfactory as the result of an
elaborate and expensive analysis would
be. A large proportion of the speci-
mens submitted are absolutely worth-
less, some have a commercial value
only when occurring in large masses
and convenient to transportation,
while a few afford clues to new occur-
rences of rare and interesting minerals
which are of great value in connection
with the regular work of the Survey.
It is not expected or desired that the
practice of sending in minerals for de-
termination should be discontinued,
but it is best that the public should not
rest under a misapprehension as to
what can be done with them.
The Idle Tongue.
Don’t slander. Don’t repeat scandal.
Don’t yield to the temptation to tell
your neighbor or chance acquaintance
a bit of idle gossip picked up at ran-
dom, even though you would give salve
to your conscience by declaring that
you do not believe the story. If you
do not believe it, or if you have a flick-
ering doubt as to its authenticity, keep
it to yourself. And even though you
have reason to believe it true, why re-
peat it? What is to be gained thereby?
Verily, the idle tongue is one of the
arch-enemies of society. It has blasted
more lives, ruined more homes and
brought more gray hairs in sorrow to
the grave than demon rum or open
villainy. It scatters its mischief in
every nook and corner of society. It
sows thorns where they spare not up-
right manhood, virtuous womanhood
or even innocent childhood.
A morsel of scandal, be it ever so
idle, once it is started on its journey of
insidious mischief, never stops or
pauses. Day and night it travels, gath-
ering force as it moves, and ever drag-
ging into its wake the fame of some
hitherto fair name. It spares none of
any station or condition in life. It
leaves heartaches, destroys confidences,
plants the seeds of distrust where sus-
picion never rested before, and leaves
a trail marked by sorrow and blasted
hopes.
Don’t slander. Don’t even gossip, for
the idle gossip of today may be—prob-
ably will be—the withering, ruinous
scandal of tomorrow. Guard your own
tongue as you would the life of your
best beloved, for there are others in
plenty that wag without thought or
charity to hold them in check.—Albany
(Ga.) Herald.
N. G. Keim Defeated for Congres-
sional Nomination.
Some time ago it was believed that
N. George Keim would surely succeed
in landing the Republican congression-
al nomination in the district in which
he resides in West Virginia, but we re-
gret to announce that his aspirations
will not be realized. Most of the
counties in his district have held their
primaries, and George C. Sturgiss, Mr.
Keim’s opponent, has already more
delegates than he will need to land the
nomination. To be nominated it will
require 116 votes in the convention,
and it is conceded that Sturgiss will
have no less than 1765.
Sturgiss is backed by the wealth and
influence of U. 8. Senator Elkins, and
it is said that his success has cost Mr
Elkins not less than $25,000 or $30,000.
However, in Randolph county, the
home of both Elkins and Keim, the
latter secured the 19 delegates easily,
in spite of the great wealth and politi-
cal pull of the former. That speaks
well for our old friend and schoolmate,
and all Salisbury, his old home town,
should feel proud of Mr. Keim’s great
popularity in the county where he now
resides and ‘is best known. Keim
would have been an easy winner in his
district, only for Elkins and his millions
back of Sturgiss. It is a case where
wealth won and true merit was defeat-
ed.
Free Analyses and Assays of Min- |
Jt All Depends.
On Mount Tom, in Massachusetts
there is a traction system opersting
two cars on a cable. As one car goes
up, the other comes down. The grade
is an extraordinarily steep one, a fact
that frequently calls forth anxious in-
quiries relative to the safety of the sys-
tem from nervous tourists.
One afternoon a lady from Boston
seated herself in the rear of the car
that was about to make its ascent of
the mountain, and it was at once ob-
served that she was extremely anxious
as to the outcome of her temerity.
“Is this car perfectly safe?” she asked
of the conductor.
“It is considered to be, madam,” was
the reply.
“Have there never been any acci-
dents?”
‘ None to speak of, madam—that is,
no serious ones.”
The lady sighed uneasily. “I was
wondering,” observed she, “what would
become of me if the cable should break
when we were just reaching the top of
the mountain.”
“That would depend upon how you
had spent your past life, madam,”
quietly replied the conductor.

Points for Fishermen.
You cannot legally spear or gig a
fish of any kind.
Or use artificial bait or more than
three hooks at a time.
Or use a cast or throw net.
Or draw off the water from a dam to
catch fish.
Or use explosives or poisons or lime
for the purpose of killing fish.
Or obstruct the migration of fish.
Or use pound nets, except in Lake
Erie.
Or use more than one rod, hook or
line at a time.
Or shoot fish with a gun, bow and
arrow, or by any other means.
Or snare or loop fish.
Or use a stir net.
Or use more than one tip-up at a
time.
Or shingle a stream or use any other
method whereby migrating fish are |
prevented from following the regular
course of the stream.
The department of fisheries has ruled
that three hooks fastened together
after the manner of those attached toa
trolling line, shall be considered one
hook. This ruling is not based upon a
court decision.
Fourth of July Statisties.
The Chicago “Tribune,” as usual,
comes forward with Fourth of July
statistics. The list of casualties shows
38 deaths and about 2,800 injured.
The death roll is smaller than last year,
when 42 was the number. But of
course this does not include the many
victims to be reported later, when
blood poison and tetanus do their dead-
ly work. The home of the Liberty
Bell, Philadelphia, leads all other cities
with 711 dead and injured patriots,
while New York had only two killed
and 65 hurt. Toledo kolds the center
of the stage as an example of sanity,
with only two injured, one being ina
ranaway. The “stray bullet” and the
toy pistol were the chief offenders all
over the country. Thus the Nation
pays the penalty in blood for its annual
celebration, but there is no need to
despair. Most people have already
learned moderation, and those who
never voluntarily learn will be com-
pelled by the law when city govern-
ments are fully aroused to their duty.
EL
Japanese Civilization.
As illustrating his claim that the
Japanese are a more civilized people
than the Americans, a gentleman at a
recent Boston dinner table cited Pro-
fessor Morse’s statement that if, in a
Japanese city, one picked up a stone to
throw at a dog, the dog does not run,
because he has never had a stone
thrown at him and does not know what
the action means. Manifestly, if such
a state of universal gentleness and
kindness prevails in Japan that not
even a stone is thrown at a dog by a
boy, there must be a very high and
thorough civilization permeating all
classes of the population. This argu-
ment may not be accepted as complete
by the sociologists, who would doubt-
less maintain that it requires some-
thing else than gentleness and human-
ity to make civilization. But certainly
the fact is to be taken as an excellent
item of evidence in making out a case
of high civilization for the Japanese.
And it is a significant fact that it was
reserved for our own European-Amer-
ican civilization to introduce the com-
pletest refinement of cruelty to ani-
mals.—Listener, in Boston Transcript.
