THE erection of pro- Russian princi
pality, embracing Bulgaria, Roumelia and
Macedonia, as projected by Gen. Igpatiefi
in the name of Russia, would soon bring
about the total destruction Of the Turkish
emire in Europe. The Thracian peninsula
and the scattered fragments Of provinces in
Albania and the northwest would be over
shadowed by the new, compact, and pow
erful state of Bulgaria. The Sultan is not
to retain even the nominal control OF
Shumla and the other fortresses of the
quadrilateral. If Ignatieff's demarcation
is accepted it will place every important
fortified point in the peninsula, with the
exception of Constantinople, in anti-Turk-
ish hands without England's being able to
interfere in any way whatever.

OUR COLORED HELP.-To heads of
families especially, we commend a
careful perusal of the article by Mrs.
Spencer, to be found on our seventh
page. We are proud to know there is
a North Carolina lady who can write,
and will, so boldly, sensibly and feel
lngly upona subject whose growing
Importance demands hearing in spite
of our likes and dislikes. We think there
is no doubt, as suggested in the article
that the future of the negro race de-
ponds upon the responsibility of their
women and in this work, the white
masters and mistresses can materially
aid by counsel and encouragement. 1t
is a good sign hat here and there one
of the negroes begins to realize the
fact. We know an humble, but rather
intelligent negress, a washerwoman,
who, contrary tolcustom, is wrapt up
in her son and daughter for whom
she continually fears the rum bottle
and the seducer. This poor mother
had saved up some SO to buy a little
place out in the country, but it went
into the pockets of the %Freedmen's Sa-
wing Bank S~windlers. And now she
is saving again but with a sixteen
year old girl, as white as many bru-
nettes, and rather pretty, there is little
likelihood of the mothers dream be-
ing realized. Yet thoughtful persons
who really wish well to the race, es-
pecially they who enjoy fortunes
amassed by the labor of the fathers Of
these same reckless creatures, should
endeavor to assist all such well.mean.
ing efforts.

Whining.

There is class of people in this world,
by no means small, whose prominent pc
culiarity is whining. They whine because
they are poor, if rich, because they have
no health to enjoy their riches; they whine
because it is too shiny; they whine because
they have "no luck, " and others prosperity
exceeds theirs; they whine because some
friends have died-and they are still living;
they whine because they have aches and
pains, and they have aches and pains be-
cause they whine, and they whine, no one
can tell why. Now, we would like to say
word about these whining persons.
First, stop whiuing-it is no use, this
everlasting complaining, fretting, fault
finding and whining. Why, you are the
most deluded set of creatures that ever
lived. Do you know that it is a weIl-set-
tied principle of physiology and commons
sense that these habits are more exhaust
ing to nervous vitality than almost any
other violation of physiological law? And
do you know that life is pretty much as You
make it? You can make it bright and
sunshiny, or you can make it dark ana
shadowy This life is only meant to dis
cipline us-to fit us for higher and
purer state Of being. Then salp whining
and 60 on your way rejoicing.

Small Talk.

Never abuse small talk; nobody docs
unless he be stranger to Its conveniences.
Small talk is the small change of life; there
is no getting on without it. There are
times when tits folly to be wise; when a
little nonsense is very palatable, aud when
gravity and sedateness ought to be kicked
down stairs. A philosopher cuts poor
figure in the ball room unless he leaves
his wisdom at home Metaphysics is as
intrusive in the midst of agreeable prattle
as a deaths head on a fcstal board. We
have met with men who were too lofty for
small talk They would never condescend
20 play with ribbon or firta fan. They
were above making themselves agreeable,
above pleasing, and above being pleased.
They we're all wisdom, all gravity, and all
tediousuess, which they bestowed upon
company with more than Dogberry's gen
erosity. A man who cannot talk has no
more business in. society than a statue.
The world is made up of trifes; and he
who can trihe elegantly, gracefully and
harmlessly is valuable acquisition to
mankind He is Coriuthian column in
the fabric of society.

HumbOldtls Desoription Of an Earthquake.


The great traveller gives an interesting
account of the first earthquake he wit
messed. 1t was at Cumena, in South
America. The first shock came after a
strange stiffness. licensed an earthquake
in his mind, for it overthrow in moment
all his lifelong notions about the safety of
the earth. He could no longer trust the
soil which up to that day had felt so firm
under his feet. He had only one thought
universal, boundless destruction. Even
the crocodiles ran from the river 0ronoco
bowling into the woods; the dogs aud pigs
were powerless with fear. The whole city
seemed "the hearth of destruction" The
houses could not shelter, for they were
falling in ruins He turned to the trees,
but they were overthrow. His next
thought was to run to the mountains, but
they were reeling like drunken men. He
then looked towards the sea. Lo it had
fed; aud the ships, which few minutes
before were in deep water, were rocking
on the bare sand He tells us that, being
then at his wits end, he looked up, and
observed that heaven alone was perfectly
calm and mistaken.

Mr. Simpson, a veteran draughtsman,
delivered an interesting lecture on illus
trated journalism a short time ago in Lon
don. Having traced the progress of pic
torial illustration from copper-plate to
lithography, and from photography to the
use of the wood block, he referred to The
Illustrated London Neios, which came
into existence in 1912, and had since then
published about 10000 pictures illustra-
tive of the current history Of the world.
Its latest achievement was the engraving
of the sortie from Plevna, the block con-
tanning 200 pieces of wood That journal.
he said, employed about twelve draughts-
men, and more than fifty wood engravers.
As matter of fact, however, many Of the
daily papers were already, to a certain ex-
tent, illustrated. BY the aid of the pen
tagraph, new invention, the Daily Neacs
had received drawing at clock in the
evening, and it had appeared in the whole
of that papers impression Of the following
morning. He yentGred to predict that
before many years the leading London
dailies would be more or less illustrated.

Suffering from Nervousness, Painful Periods
