years after the battle, put dove in the
mouth of the cannon. Raphael, in one
of his cartoons, beside the face Of a
wretch put the face of happy and inno-
cent child. And so the sour face of this
irascible and disgusted elder brother is
brought out in order that in the contrast
we may better understand that forgiving
and the radient face of God. That is
the meaning of it-that God is ready to
back anybody that is sorry, to take him
clear back forever, and forever, and for
ever, to take him back with loving hug,
to put kiss on his psrched lip, and a
ring on his bloated hand, an easy shoe
on his chafed foot, garland on his
bleeding temples, snd heaven in his soul.
Oh, fall fiat on that mercy! Come,
my brother. and let rs get down into
the dust, resolved never to rise unit! the
Fathers forgiving hand shall Lift us.
Oh, what God we have! Bring your
dozologiss. Gene, earth and heaven,
and join in the worship. Cry aloud. Lift
the palm branches. Do you feel the
Fathers arm around your neck? Do you
not feel the warm breath Of your father
against your cheek? Surrender, younger
son! Surrender elder son! Surrender, all!
Oh, go in to-day and sit down at the
banquet. Take a slice of the fatted calf,
and afterward, when you are seated with
one hand in the hand of the returned
brother, and the other hand in the hand
of the rejoicing father, let your heart
beat time to the clapping of the cymbal
and the mellow voice of the flute. ''lt
is meet that We should make merry, and
be glad; for this thy brother was dead
and is alive again and was lost and is
found"

MANY USES OF EGGS.
They Are Said to be Better for scholsrs'
Brains Than Fish.
(From the Eastern Farmer.)

Brains Than Fish.
(From the Eastern Fsrmer.)
Eggs are meal in themselves. Every
element that is necessary for the support
OF man is contained within the limit of
an egg-shel in the best proportions aud
most palatable form. Plain boiled they
are wholesome. The masters of French
cookery, however, affirm thst it is easy
to dress them in five hundred different
ways, each method not economical, but
salutary in the highest degree.
No honest appetite ever rejected sn
egg in some guise. It is nutriment In the
most portable form and in the most con-
centrated shape. Whole nations of
mankind rarely touch any other animal
food. Kings eat them plain as readily
as do the humble tradesmen. After the
battle of Muhidorf, when Kaiser Lud-
wig sat at meal with his burggrafs and
great cantams, he determined on piece
OF lu1ury-''one egg to every man and
two to the excellently valiant Sche#p-
perman.
Far more than ish-for it is wstery
diet-eggs are the scholars fare. They
contain phosphorus, which is brain food,
and sulphur, which performs a variety
OF functions in the economy. And they
are the best Of nutriment for children,
for in a compact form they contain
everything that is necessary to the
growth of the youthful frame. Eggs
are, however, not only food-they are
medicine also. The white is the most
effcacious remedies for burns, and the
oil extracted from the yolk is regarded
by the Russians as an almost miraculous
saIve for cuts, bruises and scratches.
A raw egg, if swallowed in time, will
efectually detach 6sh-bone fastened in
the throat, and the whites OF eggs will
render the deadly corrosive subllmate as
harmless as dose of calomel. They
strengthen the consumptiye. invigorate
the feeble, and render the mosd suscepti-
BILE all but proof against jsundice in its
most malignant phase. The merits OF
eggs do not even end here. In Franco
alone the wine clarifers use mora than
0,0O0, 900 year, and the Alsatians con-
sumo fully 38,OOO,000 in calico printing
and for dressing the leather that is used
in making the hLest French kid gloves.
Even egg-shells are valuable, for alopath
and homepath alike agree in regarding
them the purest Of the carbonate OF lime.

That White Man in Africa.

LONDON, August ia dispatch from
Suakim to the Times says: Reports con-
cerning the presence of white man in the
Bahr-el- Gael district are confirmed. He
is known as Abu Digma, and has force
of enormous strength, including large
number of half-naked men, probably from
the Kism-Niam country. This is strong
point In favor of the idea that the white
man is Stanley. The Khslifa of khar-
toum has sent force of $500 men against
him. The Negus of Abyssinis has sworn
to capture Khsrtoum, and the Khalifa is
greatly alarmed"

THE CHESHIRE CHEgs e.
A RemIniscence Of JefYerson7s Presiden.
tial Campaign.


The town of Cheshire, situated among
the Berkshire hills of Massachusetts,, is
one of the pleasantest places in all the
county. The pasturage of this region is
excellent. The land is very productive,
and the dairy farms have always been
noted for the quality Of their butter and
cheese. And here. about eighty-seVen
years ago, says writer in the Transcript,
was made the enormous cheese whose
fame went abroad throughout the United
States, crossed the water. and even
spread into foreign countries. Elder
John Leland, celebrated preacher OF
his time, was pastor of the village church.
He was q vigorous and original thinker,
noted for his exposition of the Scrip
lures. People came from far and near
to listen to bis sermons. n those days
q minister's views upon all public ques-
tions were received with respectful atten-
ton and Elder Leland did not confne
his labors to paroehial affairs. ANY delin-
ouency among the select men of the town,
any failure in rigid adherence to duty,
was boldly attacked by him in the pulpit,
and names were mentioned with startling
directness.
Thomas Jefferson was nominated for
the Presidency of the United States ID
the fall Of 1900. He was believed by
many to be an infdel, and the feeling OF
New England-the stronghold of Ortho-
doxy-Was severe against him. An omi-
nous silence, that he preserved in regard
to his own religious belief, was regarded
as unfa7orable, and it was even declared
in some country towns that churches
would be closed, and the sacredness Of
the Sabbath day no longer preserved, if
he were elected. Elder John Leland
held no share in this public opinion.
He had been q preacher in Virginia,
where be often met Mr.. Jefferson.
The two men were mutually attracted,
and held long conversations together.
Elder Leland became An ardent admirer
of Jefferson. He recognized his Chrls-
tian character, in spite of natural retl-
cence, and he believed in his republican
princi pies. When Jefferson was nomi-
mated he began to work for him. 1t was
said that the elder stood alone, but the
sturdy opposition became his inspiration.
He preached politics in the pulpit on
Sunday he rode to neighboring towns
through the week; he was ready always
with an argument. So great Was the in-
huence that he exerted that when election
day came there was not member OF the
whole county who failed to vote for
jefferson. Great was Elder Leland's
delight over the victory, and at the close
of the afternoon service on the next
Sabbath he proposed that, as people,
they should prepare token OF their
goodwill to be sent to Washington after
the new president had taken his place at
the White House. It should be some
thing in which women as we'll as men
could participate, and he suggested 40
enormous cheese, as the natural product
of their industry. Every man in tue
county who had voted for Jefferson
should bring all the curd he felt able TO
give. A committee Of farmers wives,
who we're skilled, should be appointed
for the mixing.
Everybody was pleased with the idea.

The Three C's to be Pushed.

During Gen. Buffers short stay last
week, he had something to say about
the prospects of the Three Cs. What
he said, was this: That on his journey
to Edgefield he met Col. Johnson, Gen
eral Manager of the road, and that he,
Johnson, assured him that the COM
pAny had disposed of half its issue OF
bonds in Europe and had thus secured
all the money they wanted, and that
the road would be built as fast as money
could build it. Gen. Butler said fur
thermore, that he expected work to be-
gin on the Augusta end in very short
time, and that it would be pushed, rail
laying and cross-tie laying all to be
conducted in one operation.
We give the above for the benefit of
our Saluda friends who must by this
time be little weary of procastination
and promises. So look out Z. The first
thing you know some of you will be
knocked off the track.-Edgefeld Ad-
vertiser.

Dwelling House Burned.

Yesterday at II O'Clock the four room
dwelling of Mr.. Robert Norman, two
miles from town, was destroyed by fire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norman were both in
town. The three children were at home
with the negro woman, and in the
house asleep, but were taken out in
time to save them. The fire is supposed
to have been accidental, as it was first
discovered on the roof near the CHM
ney. \ reporter for The Herald and
News drove out to Mr.. Moorman's late
Yesterday afternoon to ascertain the
facts. Mr.. Moorman saved very little
Of his furniture. The silverware and
heirlo0ms Of Mrs. Moorman were all
lost. The house was worth about $500,
besides the value Of the many little
things one gets about him that cannot
be estimated in dollars and cents. The
loss therefore is heavy one.
Mr.. Moorman does not know
whether there was any insurance or
not, as his brother, Mr.. II. :. Norman
usually attended to these matters, and
he is in Columbia.
There was Il fire in one Of the rooms
and L negro woman was in the house
ironing and it is supposed Il spark from
the chimney caught the roof.
