Women Who Detest a Marriage.

Men marry the rattle brains of society.
They choose the pretty, good for nothing
girls, for that is the kind they like; they
run after and marry the livelitst girl at
a picnic or.ball, though she may be a
holy terror" at home; they rush after
the belle and the heiress, though she may
be selfish and spoiled. They pass by the
Jewels and take "the snide," for that is
all they know, and then, like Adam, they
blame the fruits of their own folly On
the woman. Twas ever thus. But.
brethren-we wish to break it to you
gently-there are women right here at
home who have their own mnney 10
spend as they please, who have their
own pleasant homes and congenial occu-
pations, who can, if the fancy seizes
them. pack their trunks and take a jaunt
to New Orleans, slip off to Washington
for few weeks, take in the cream OF
New York or the balmy airs of Florida
in short, have royal time in any way
they choose, who call no man master,
and who "wouldu't marry the best man
that ever stepped in shoe leather" This
will be a shock to you. beloved brethren
but it is none the less true. Women find
pleasure and comfort and happiness out
side of matrimony. 1t is not tlatterine
to men, but there is growing disinclin
alton to marriage among women. They
are growing more critical as to the meas
urs of a man. He will have to come NJ
to a nobler, higher standard, or, in th'
practical par'anc. n' the day, he vii

The Pricelessness Of Man.

Let men speculate as they will on
mans origin and place, let them ex-
pound the Stages of development by
which he has attained his present struct.
ure and power; this much, at least, IS
clear about him-clear on the face of
Gods word; that he is being whose
rescue from moral evil is held on high to
be worth the agony and the bloody sweat,
the cross and passion, the precious death
and burial, the glorious resurrection OF
the Son of God. His sacrifice is the
eternal witness to the truth that man at
bis very worst is worthy of being minis
tered to from heaven, and at cost which
defes expression in terms of our earthly
sacrifices.
If you are tempted to think meanly of
man; if, face to face with the dark facts
of his vice and frailty, all the fne things
tha: poets have sung of him and proph
cts have forecast, seem to you W be a
hollow mockery, then remember that
there is a judgment above yours; remem'
ber that, however little you can see to
honor or admire, there must be in each
one something of infinite value, since
God would fain redeem each for himself
by an infinite sacrifice. The bumblesl
personality is glorifed by this thought ot
redemption, and you cannot stand before
human being, no matter what his race
his creed or his character, without being
in tn. presence of one whom Gud loves
and for whom Christ has died.

Does Farming Pay9

This question is often fooishly asked
and often, foolishly discussed by men
who make nothing pay. The man who
has never Grwed successfully and who
lives from hand to mouth is fully pre-
pared to show that farming does not pay.
Such discussions, by such men, tend to
dissatisfy young farmers and TO make
them believe that the world has work
and large returns in money in other call
ings. 1, this question is discussed 80 as
to dignity the work Of the farm and make
men and women better contented with
their occupation and cause them to i'm.
prove their methods of work and beautify
their homes then it is well 10 talk about
il. In our County there are more than
10000 people depending directly on the
farms for support. They are generally
not iu condition to mediate change.
They are like the boy watching the 60.
pber hole. With him it was nota ques-
ton of pay, or whether some other ocou-
patton would not be better, but meat be
Was obliged to have and he had to get it
out of that very hole be was watching.
You might as we'll ask if merchandising
pays and answer by giving a long list of
men who have failed in the last fifteen
years in our County. So with rhe learh.
ed professions and all occupations. When
YOU consider the failures of men who 60
into any business, it is easy to prove that
it does not pay. We believe the outlook
for the farmer in Spartapburg County is
Just as good as it is for any other profess
ion. He and his boys may not wear
quite as fine clothes as the dry goods
clerk who is getting S25 90 month and
paying four.ifths of that for board and
washing, or the hotel clerk or the bank
cashier, but they are just as much to be
respected as those who wear kid gloves
and fine linen. Farming does pay even
here on the old red hills of Spartanburg.
1t keeps alive more than forty thousand
people, aud builds fine houses and pays
interest on rairond debts and keeps up
the State government and is The grand
motive power which keeps all other
wheels in motion. OF course farming
pays. If farm operations should stop for
one year, banks, factories, stores and pro.
fessions would all 60 under; The ques.
tion is not whether it pays or not, but
how To get larger returns for labor and
improve the farms and country homes 90

will be attracted to farm life, and will
always be longing for the time to come

Man in Love and Out.

What is there that man will not do
when he is in love? What else will
drive him to such lengths of brilliancy
and daring? 1t is then that he puts on
his most brilliant plumage, struts about
in his greatest glory and reaches the
most besuliful perfection of his nature.
He writes long letters. spends his money
like prodigal, is ready to 60 here, there
and everywhere, rain or shine, at the
heck and call of his fair mistress; wears
his best clothes, walks with erectness and
elasticity of trained athlete, smiles on
all mankind, and is being much beyond
and above the common run of the race
All this he is to the woman to whom he
is playing the lover. She takes him foi
what he seems to be, not for what he is

4 Farm For Breeding Geese.

The only goose ranch-that is a farm
devoted to the breeding and care of geese
in this country is owned and operated b,
Philadelphians. The farm is located or
the Eastern shore of Virginia, and cover
nearly 5000 acres. over which the feath
cred occupants are free to roam. II
England there are number of sucl
farms, some of them having as high a.
1000 geese The American one is o
much larger proper ions as it f1ocks mum
bcr in the neighborhoud of 5000 birds
In certain textile branches of trade the
down and feathers of geese are the maiI
raw materials. The manufacture of fine
quilts and the preparation of certain
articles of dress utilize the down, and il
cheaper grades of goods tine younger anc
softer. feathers are used in the way o
adulteration. The large and strong
feathers of the tails and wings 60 mainly
into the quill pens used by professional
enerossers. lawyers, clergymen, author
and others. These are too tough fn
much use in the textile productions notec
above.
The American farm is devoted exclu
sively to producing the raw material.
needed for the fine down quilts. Severn
species Of geese are bred, all of then
being, however, of American lineage
Tie largest specimens are the swan geese
and the plumage of all is of snowy
wbiteness. The birds are regularly feu
with corn and other grains, and are given
the utmost freedom consistent with the
prevention of slraying and loss. In con
sequence, men are employed as herderr
to keep a watchful eye on their charges
Sheds for shelter are provided in case OF
inclement or especially severe weather
but the birds rarely use them.
About every six weeks the pluckinr
takes place. Only the breast and por
tions of the side are touched, the feath
ers Of The back, the wings and the tail
being left intact. 1t requires nearly one
hundred average geese to furnish pound
of down, though the smaller feathers
which are also taken, weigh much heavi
er. These feathers, however, form an
entirely separate grade of product from
the valuable down.
The average life of goose is said to
be about forty years. aud they produce
from six to ten eggs per annum, a large
proportion of which are hatched. A
bird hatched in February is in condition
tor plucking the following August, and
so on thereafter ever six or eight weeks
The feathers are packed in sacks and sent
to the Philadelphia factory, where they
are trimmed, washed, steamed, and
otherwise prepared ..for their ultimate
uses. In adulteraling the fluffy down fol
the cheaper grades of goods the feather.
are chopped up fine and then mingled
with the more valuable material. Sn
practiced are some manufacturers that il
requires an expert to distinguish between
the grades. The local factory, which il
the only one of prominence in the coun
try, makes nothing but the finer gonds
Heretofore the down and feathers used
in American markets have been imported

Tic LetIlean Riyer.

Young, the author of" Night Thoughts, y
calls sleep "tired natures sweet restorer."
On the enchanted plains Of dream land,
we forget our troubles and are happy for
the time. We bathe our weary limbs
and aching heads in the Lethean river,
where all ia placid, calm and serene, and
He that spoke to the storm.rocked Sea OF
Galilee and the mad waves covered at
his word, will smooth our rough pathway
and "give his beloved Sleep" We don't
like the. thoughtless and fippant express
ion attributed to Sancho Panza: "Bless-
ed be the man that invented sleep
Sleep was not invented. and if it was, it
was done by man. 1t is one of the
richest boons that mercifnl Providence
has vouch safed to erring and ungrateiul
man. It is the bivouac in the battle ol
life where the tired soldier may snatch a
moment to repose from the stern and
exacting duties of the camp. Sleepi is a
blessing that comes to all alike. The
rich cannot monopniize it, and the poor
cannot be derralded out of it. The
infant that has just opened its eyes upon
the beauties and the flowers of the sunny
landscape of time, and the aged pilgrim
that is about to bid it farewell, and
throngiug multitudes that stand between
these Two extremes, all enjoy the .privi-
lege, the luxury, the blessing of sleep
Shakspeare's utterances on this subject
grand, comprehensive and far'reaching
as they are, fail to do j, justice. 1t how
ers about the dwellings of poverty and
the invalid's couch like ministering
angel of mercy, binding up the broken
heart and bathing the fevered brow with
the healing waters Of happy and heal
thy forgetfuluess. When the duties and
labors Of the day are done, and dark
ness drops her curtain down and pins il
with STAR" the welcome and refreshing
spirit of slumber steals over US so gently
and wooes US so teDderly that we natur;
ally and unconsciously sink into it:
sweet embrace.
The Summer, with its debilitating days
and sweItering nights, makes restless and
uneasy and disturbed slumber almost
universal, and those who, at no Other
time, miss an hours sleep, have 8
chance to learn what boon, what
priceless thing it is to enjoy undisturbed
repose. The tired labprer, the weary
mother, the (retful child, the restless
invalid, all appreciate to the fullest
extent the refreshing and soothing inhu
ence of that preserver of health, restore'
in sickness, and proonger of life.

Public Roads Again.

The people in many parts of The coun'
try are again almost cut off from their
local markets and isolated from society
by the miserable quagmires, yclept pub
lie roads. Thousands, no doubt, are
abusing the road laws, while profane
thoughts are in their hearts, if wicked
words do not fnd vent by way of their
lips. This seems to be the proper season
of the year for such things, but the
Spring will soon be athaud, and the time
for putting the roads i'm epassa6le condi
ton so that they may pass the inspection
of lenient grand iuries will come with
it.
It may not be amiss to again call the
attention of road commissioners, over
seers and citizens generally throughout
the country to the fact that merely tenn.
porary work on the public roads does not
nav. A few days extra work done on a
bad piece of road in an intelligent man
ner will save vast deal of labor and an
noyance in the future. 1t is almost use
less to throw a few pine tops aud q little
dirt in gully and leave it so that it will
wash out and be worse than ever the
next heavy rain that comes. Road otti: :
ciala ought to study road building, and
learn how work done on the roads may
be made permanent The great point in
securing good roads is drainage. Water
should not be allowed to collect at any
point on a road to do damage even du-
ring the heaviest rains. A little work
done on properly drained roads every
year will keep them in much better con
dition than great deal of work on roads
that are not properly drained or moi
drained at all.
It is the custom to abuse the road laws
No doubt they are defective, but if the
road laws were enforced with intelligence
there would be very little cause to com.
plain of them. If commissioners and
overseers would only learn their duties
and perform them according to the letter
and spirit of the laws, and require roac
hands to do honest work, as if they were
receiving wages in cash, the roads il
nearly all parls of the country would b'
! in pretty good condition at all season
of the year.

Thirty Years on One Meal Day.

David Allen, of East Bridgewater,
Mass, has gained good deal OF noto.
riety on account of eating only one meal
day. Mr.. Allen is farmer fifty -four
years of age, rather below the average
height, strong and healthy in appear
ance. He said that sume thirty years
ago, knowing that frequent eating was
injurious, he began to eas only one meal
day, taking au ordinary dinner as near
noon each day as possible, and has since
continued the practice and doe. not
mean to give it up He eats slowly,
usually occupying from half to three.
quarters Of an hour at the table. He
does as much work as the average mao.
Nr. Allen never used tobacco in any
form, and has never drank intoxicating
liquors. The only indulgence which he
grants himself. aside from the noon meal,
is an occasional apple or some little fruit.
