Common Sense.

Very few people in this world possess
what is known as practical common
sense, yet those who do claim moiety
of that necessary requirement say that 1t
is foolish to assert that there is no known
cure for Rheumatism, when the great
medicine, Salicylica, is guaranteed to
give immediate and permanent relief. A
test Of its efficacy is the fact that 1t has
been established for five years, and is an
assured success.

Behind the Veil.

How can | cease to pray for thee?
Somewhere
In Gods great universe thou art to-day.
Can He not reach thee with His tender
care?
Can lie not hear me when for thee |
pray?
What matters it to Him who holds
within
The hollow of His hand all worlds,
all space.
That thou art done with earthly pain
and sin?
Somewhere within His ken thou hast
a place.
Somewhere thou Invest and hast need of
Him;
Somewhere thy soul sees higher
heights to climb;
And somewhere still there may be val
leys dim
That thou must pass to reach the
heights sublime.
Then all the more. because thou ,anst
not hear
Poor human words of blessing, will |
pray,
O, true, brave heart! God bless thee

In this great universe thou art to-day!

To Editor of Morning .Star.-In the
last issue Of the Star there is an article
on Tea Culture in the United States.
The culture of the tea plant has been a
success in North Carolina In the
county of Cumberland a Mr.. James NJ.
Smith has grown tea that compares ia
vorably with any China or India tea in
quality. In this. Sampson county. tea
Of a fine quality has been grown. and at
several places here the plant can be
seen growing luxuriantly aud thrifty.
The young tender leaves are gathered
in the spring, and subjected to a heat
sufficient to wilt them. They are then
rolled and heated again, and so on until
perfectly dry. They her appear rolled
as the green tea WI buy from other
countries. This tea has been PRONOUNCED
by competent judges to be as fine in
guilty and flavor and equally as palat-
aUlc rs ant tea from any country.
\ mr suggestion is n good one. If
, nae mrn acqua ntc | with the nature of
the plant wound paw the attention nee
essary to its production there is no ques-
ton as to its profit in our own State.

the figures of the federal census apply,

Something In the Bed.

Judge Pitman has a habit Of slip
ping his watch under his pillow when
he goes to bed. One night somehow
it slipped down, and as the Judge was
restless it worked its way down toward
the foot of the bed. After a bit,
while he was lying awake, his foot
touched it; it felt very cold; he was
surprised, scared, and jumping from
the bed, he said:
my gracious. Maria, there's toad
or something under the covers. /
touched it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave a loud scream
and was on the floor in an instant.
"Now, don't go to holloring and
waking up the neighbors," said the
Judge. "You get broom or some
thing, and we'll fix the thing, mighty
quick"
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and
gave it to the Judge with the remark
that she felt as though snakes were
creeping up and down her legs and
back.
"Oh, nonsence, Maria Now turn
down the covers slowly while l hold
the broom and bang it. Put bucket
of water alongside of the bed so that
we can shove it in and drown it"
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The judge
held the broom uplifted. and as the
black ribbon of the silver watch was
revealed, he cracked away at it three
or four times with the broom, then he
pushed the thing off the bucket.
Then they took the light to investi-
gate the matter. When the judge
saw what it was, he said:
81 might have known it is just
like you women to 60 screeching and
fussing about nothing. It's utterly
ruined"
"It was you that made the fuss, not
me-" said Mrs. Pitman.
"You need't try to put thy blame
on me-"
Then the Judge turned in and growl-
ed at Maria until he fell asleep
