The Plain Truth.


When person with a delicate constitution has
a tendency to catarrh coHsumption-whether
this tendency is inherited results FROM takina
cold easily-is is noticeable that that person in
variably lcses flesh and loses strength, showing
that the nutrition il interfered with.
In such q case the sufferer should at once be
placed under influences that will restore the
defective nutrition and tend to invieorate the
cor stitution.
1t is to be remembered that in every Case the
presence of catarIh is an evidence of prsdisposi
ton to consumption. and no matter how slight
the attack may be. it should be treated with tha
greatest care and the treatment should be con.
tinued until all traces of the catarrh have dis
appeared.

that produces consumption. and hence one

Modern Jerusalem.
1Spectator.1

lSpectator.
The order Of things in Jerusalem is
very different from what it was only a
few years ago, and the change in the
Holy City is gradually undergoing,
strikes every traveller of eight or ten
seasons. Whole quarters have been re-
built, sanitation is cared for, the streets
are well lighted, clocks are placed on
many public buildings, and the gates
are no longer closed at sundown to the
inconvenience Of residents and the
famoVed hsnSs 20 dtiytahcS9,o t5taSod and o1tsrde
walls of the ancient enclosure "new
Jerusalem" is slowly rising, that at the
present rate of growth will in few
wears quite overshadow the old city,
exceeding it both in area and popula-
ton. Suburbs are springing up round
abount and extending, notably on the
western side. And as Herr Schick, the
government surveyor, estimates the
number of dwellings to have probably
trebled" in fve-and-twenty years,
some idea may be formed Of the rate at
which Syria is making progress, not
withstanding many serious disadvan,
tages.

Cotton Mills Down South.
From the New York Herald.

FROM the new Ofk herald.
The New England cotton mill own
ers must keep their weather eye open
and watch i new movement in the
southwest.
The people down yonder are begin
ming to reason among themselves. They
says, in substance, We grow the cotton
and send it up North to be made into
cloth. Then they put their thinking
caps on and ask, Why can't we build
mills OF our own and pocket the profits
ofmanuiacture ourselves?
The answer came in the shape of two
we'll equipped establishments in New
Orleans. 1t was an experiment, of
course, and the dollars went into the
speculation with some timidity. But
tie spirit Of competition was vigorous
and the love of an honest penny hon.
cStiy earned prevailed. Then a big
building was put up in Wesson, Mis-
sissippi, for the same purpose.
Well, the venture was an admirable
Success in both instances. The Wesson
company is going to put up another
mill because the demand for its product
has greatly increased, and the New Or
leans people will very soon follow suit.
During the next twenty or thirty
years the South will give us pretty
lively shaking up. Before the war, you
know, they never dreamed Of stripping
for the race, and we had it all our own
way. But the times have changed,
and the men Of the South have changed
with them. Now, what with their iron

RATHER DEEPLY IN DEBT.
The Only Living Survivor Of the Signers OF
Confederate Bonds.

All the bonds issued by the Confed-
crate government, amounting to an in
definite number Of millions and all
; overdue, were signed by Robert Tay-
lor, of Virginia, Alex. B. Clitterall, of
Alabama, and Henry D. Capers, of
Georgia. Colonel Capers, who is a
brothrc of General Ellison Capers, is
! the only survivor of the three, and may
be therefore regarded as responsible for
the entire issue. He was in Greenville
Il few days ago and narrated a startling
experience he had during recent visit
to Philadelphia. He said:
Gone evening while conversing with
some gentlemen, Judge Pugh among
them, Mr.. Moore, the proprietor of the
Windsor hotel, asked me to be intro
luce to a friend of his. Ofcourse I con-
sented and was introduced to a fine look
ing man who met me with much digni-
ty. He requested me to step aside and in
L low tone of voice said that he was
glad to meet me. II have long wished
to see you," said he. II have in my
possession paper with your name
signed to it, on which would like to
have the money" Well dear friend,
you know he pretty we'll, l think. l
never felt, for few seconds, worse in
all my life. l knew that was indebted
to some persons, but the idea that the
grand, good time I was having was
to be knocked into cooked hat by bav-
ing some ugly chip of mine thrust into
my face made the sweat come in great
drops on my forehead. "Well," said l,
Il know that have debts, and I have
no desire to deny this debt if owe it."

THE TOMB OF TEN BRoECK.
A Handsome Shaft Of Marble Over the
Grave Of the Great Kentucky Horse
1Cincinnati Enquirer

One Of the most interesting things
that Mr.. Harper showed me on the Ola
Nantura stock farm was the tomb OF
the famous Ten Brock. It stands upon
the rising ground opposite his stable
door. The grave has huge pile OF dirt
raised over it and is enclosed with 8
picket fence. The enclosure IS about
twelve feet square. Last year this space
was covered with a mass of flowers.
Beyond the enclosure about six feet,
and opposite the division between the
doors of Ten Broeck's and Longfellow's
stalls is a monument of the finest
Italian marble.
It bears the inscription on the side
facing the tomb: 'Ten Brock, bay
horse, foaled on Nantura stock farm,
Woodford County, KY, June q, 1877.
Died June %, 1888. Performances:
mile, l sss; Il, 1881; . miles, a.27@; q,
45S!; 3 miles, -5.2e1; 4 miles, 7.l5z."
The work was executed by Burke, OF
Versailles. Mr.. Harper said that it was
his intention when Longfellow died te
bury him in a similar grave opposite
his st:u door and upon the side of the
monument facing it to inscribe upor
the marble bis name and achievements
and then inclose the whole with al
iron picket fence, taking in more
ground, probably an eighth ofan acre II
all, which shall be a flower garder
forever.

Wages and Living Forty Years Ago.

The Springfield Republican publishes
a portion of the address Of James Bart
lette, an old citizen Of Detroit, at tho
seni-centennial of Michigan. Mr.
Bartlett is an intelligent workingmal
and no rhapsodist. He had long been !
machinist in Massachusetts, when
young, and spoke of things within his
own knowledge. His own recollection
went back forty-five years, for he first
began in 1912, in machine shop EN-
ploying about fifty men OF cotton
machinery for Lowell. He said:
'The wages of machinist in this
shop were 81 to Sl.25 day, one nabot
of a pattern maker received the sum OF
$3.50. They went to work at 5 o'clock
in the morning and worked until 7.3C
at night, with an hour for breakfast and
three-quarters for dinner. 1t was
several years before we obtained eleven
hours q day. 1t has now been ten
hours day for twenty-five years or
more, and we grumble at that, though
we may get more than twice the wages
we did forty years ago; and we are
hoping to get the same or higher pay
for working eight hours. [ know the
condition OF the machinist is better
than when I first joined the guild. He
has better pay, better houses, better
education, living; and I hope he will
keep on improving for the next fifty
years. Large machine shops were
started before 1886. One in Lowell
employed over 1000 men on cotton
machinery. Now the country is dotted
with them. For my part, I don't want
any more of the good old times. The
present time is the best we have ever
had, though hope not the best We
shall ever see. In fifty years we have
reduced our hours Of labor from four
teen to eight hours day, our wages are
doubled, and the necessaries of life are
much cheaper "a barrel Of salt, which
cost $3.50 years ago, has been sold in
Michigan for IS cents). The great
curse of drunkenness is very much
diminished. We live in better houses,
better clothed ; q high school education
is in reach of every child; books are
free to all; the poorest laborer who
meets with an accident in our streets
will receive surgical aid that no king
could purchase fifty years ago. Our
great railroads distribute the fruits OF
labor SO labor so that famines are I'M
possible. Beef killed on the prairie IS
sent all over the country, and supplies
the markets of Europe. Fish from the
salt seas anu from our great lakes are
eaten fresh all over the continent, and
tropical fruits are peddled around all
our Streets

Louisa NJ. Alcott.

Miss Louisa NJ. Alcott's life, in brief,
was this At sixteen a teacher: in the
war, a nurse to wounded and sick sol
diers then almost dead with typhoid
fever, which left her all the rest
of her life an invalid, but still
writer whose books have been
read by thousands of delighted readers,
Little Women" IAN Old Fashioned
Girl" and Little Men" have been the
most popular among students. She
wrote nothing that was not pure and
elevating. Her ideas were high, and
she got somewhat nearer to them than
the majority of women of to-day. She
hated the butterfly life of those fash
ionable fiirts who live to dress and
dance, and tried to make the intellec-
tual and moral character of her gene
ration better by her pen and work.
What may girls learn from her?
Among others, these.
Woman has an equal chance with
man in the world Of thinkers. Mird
knows no sex.
Energy and application will accom-
plish success. Are brains necessary? :?
Certainly, but it is not necessary to be
genius in order to succeed. Miss Al
cott thought and wrote herself out of the
school-room into success, wealth and
fame. Think is mighty force. There
are thousands of girls who are study
ing to-day in our schools who could
make life as much of a success as Miss
Alcott did, if they would get their
ideals above society success. The
chiefend of a woman is not to get mar
ried. Marriage is a God-blessed insti-
tuition, but nobility of thought is far
better. If marriage comes, let it come,
but by all means let intellectual and
moral excellence come first. Miss Al
colt lived and died an old maid, and
such an old maid as the world loves to
think about and honor.

THE CATAWBA INDIANS.
bow they have Fought for South Carolina
in the Indian, the Revolutionary and
the Confederate Wars.
lIorkville Enquirer

In searching into the history of the
Catawba Indians. I can find only one
instance mentioned where they fought
against the Carolinians, and that was
in the great Yamassee war of IT'S.
With this exception, they have fought
bravely for the Carolinians. When Colo
mel John Barnwell marched against the
Tuscarroras, in North Carolina, forty
one Catawba warriors accompanied
him. When the fierce Cherokees, under
the leadership of Occonostota and other
kindred spirits, were waging their
bloody war with the Carolina settlers,
the Catawbas rallied around the stand
ard of the pale faces and helped them
fight against the Cherokees. During
the dark days of the Revolutionary
struggle; the Cberokees, with whetted
ton1akawks, again rushed down upon
the Carolinians, but the Catawbas were
their steadtast friends, and it is said
that no Indians of this tribe were ever
found in British camp, nor were any
of them tories.
During the Confederate war the REM
nant Of the Catawbas offered to fight
with the Carolinians, as their ancestors
had done in the Revolution. They did
fight; some of them bled and died for
the Confederate cause. Thomas Nor
rison, the present Chieftain of the Ca
tawbas, We are informed, was scout
in the Southern army.
Thus we see that the Catawbas have
fought for South Carolina in two In
dian wars, in the Revolution and again
in the Confederate war, and only in one
war did they fight against the Caro-
linians. have read extensively about
the North American Indians, but do
not remember to have read of another
Indian tribe who have been as firm
friends to the Americans as the Cataw-
bas have been. Ifthey Were of a north
ern tribe, their almost uniform friend
ship would be largely dwelt upon in
State history, and sketches Of their
deeds and devotion would appear in
the magazines but being a southern,
especially a South Carolina tribe, our
State historians have never mentioned
them as they deserved, and our people
do not appreciate their history. How
many people. III the State know that
they fought with the Carolinians
against the Cherokees and the. British 2
aware of the fact that they were SOL
diers under the "Stars and Bars" OF

4 Story of Whittier.
rB0stOn Advertiser.


Did YOU ever hear the story OF
Whittier and the cabbage?:' asked an
old friend yesterday; lit may have
been told before, but it Is worth re-
Dcating now. He hates the odor OF
cabbage, like other sensible men, and
has i cordial horror Of the right smell
in the wrong place, as Henry James
calls the fragrance Of a dinner IN the
hall way. One day, however, cab
bare was cooked at Oak Knoll and
most of it was left over. In Difference
70 her Cousins olfactories the mistress
Of the house directed the cook to put
the cold cabbage on the top shelf in the
pantry until the next day.
In the course of the afternoon Mr'
Whittier was seen digging in the gar
den. \ member Of the family asked
him what he was going to DO, but he
mt her off with merry twinkle III his
eve. When, in course of household
events, the cook sought the cabbage, II
WAS gone. Mr.. Whittier had traced it
to its eyrie; he had climbed up and had
borne it away in triumph, and i'll de-
iancc of domestic economy, had
buried it in the garden. Itell the story
~ if WAS told to me-" said his friend
