HOW TO BUILD UP A TOWN.

Let us apply the following good
rules toWinston- Salem. They are taken
from the Ripon, Wis, Commonwealth:
Talk about it.
Write about it.
Speak we'll of it.
Help to improve it.
Beautify the streets.
Patronize its merchants.
Advertise in its newspapers.
Speak we'll of its enterprising, pub
lic-spirited citizens.
If you are rich invest in something;
employ somebody; be rustler.
Ifyou don't thir k of any good word
to say, don't say anything bad about
it.
Remember that every dollar you in
vest IN a permanent improvement is
that much on interest.
Be courteous to strangers that come
among you, SO that they may 60 away
with good impression
Always cheer up the men that go in
for improvements. Your portion OF
the cost will be only what is Just.
Don't kick about any necessary
public improvement because it is not
at your own door, or for fear that
your taxes would be raised fifteen
cents.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

EDITOR SENTINEL I would like
to ask a question or two.
Are we going to allow the doors OF
our University to be closed Shall
we have no higher education than the
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges give us ? Must
all our young men who desire learn
ing and culture be forced to obtain it
where the doctrines and prejudices of
this or that denomination are insuilled
into them? Is all our higher educa
ton 10 be under tie control of s1ts
and denominations which, if uncEeck
ed and unrestrained, will become as
intolerant as Popism itself?
The action of the last legislature
and the action of the late meeting Of
the board of trustees point this way.
Is it possible that We sre coming to
this?

One of Zeb Vance's Jokes.

Senator Vance is a good after din
ner speaker, and his tales go the
round of the press. At one time,
while governor, he was riding through
the woods of North Carolina, when he
was overtaken by stranger. and the
two began to converse together.
II have been down to Raleigh !"
said the stranger.
"Ah, indeed" said Vance.
"Yes," was the reply, "and 1 went
there to see the Governor
"Did you see him?' asked Vance.
"No, he was absent from the city.
But called at the governors house,

We invite the attention OF the pub

State Democ1 attic Executive Commit

true expression of the principles of the

favored repeal of the obnoxious sys-

The venerable philanthropist, ".
w. Corcoram, is gone. He was a
man who wss truly great, and his
memory will live long in the hearts of
the people whom he has blessed. He
died in Washington City last Friday
morning and was buried Monday.
During his life time he gave away in
charity, and for benevolent purposes
over four millions of dollars, and yet
left an estate valued at near the same
amount. The Louise Home" in
Washington, shelters unfortunate, gen.
tie women whom t he war left
destitute, and is a standing monument
to his generous kindness. During the
war his feelings were with the South.
The life and deeds of such man
will perpetuate his name as long as
the human heart responds to gener-
osity and knows the name of gratitude
Such life is a noble object lesson to
the youth of the land, and the name
of w. w. Corcoram will not soon be
forgotten.

martyrs are no exception to tins rule.
10 avoid this responsibility the only
means IS to get quittance from your
nelghbor, whom you have wrOnged. In
all cases, however, there is no need of
the intercessiOn of a spiritual director
All this no doubt seems strange to
people accustomed to a sacerdotal reg
lme. When a Christian child is born,
to make part of society he must be bap-
t1zed by priest: If he would pray, he
must go to a church and find a priest /;
to obtain forgiveness of his sins he must
confess them to a priest, and he must
have a priest to bury him.
In the Mussulman religion, where
there is no clergy, such obligations
have no place. The infant is born a
of the family, gives him name. When
they wish to contract a marriage, the
man and the woman, or their agents,
make the contract in the presence of
two witnesses, the contracting parties
are the only ones interested, and others
can not intervene or take part.
In all religious acts there is no inter
mediary between God and His servants.
1t Is necessary to learn the viii of God,
revealed by the prophet, and to act in
conformity with it.
Only the accomplishment of certain
religious ceremonies, such as the pray
ers on Friday and at Beiram, is subor-
dinated to the viii of the caliph. the
prophet, and the sultans of Nussulmans
since the arrangement of ceremonies for
Islamism is one of his sacred attributes.
Obedience to his orders is one of the
most important religious duties. As to
our mission, it consists of administer
ing, in his name, the religious affairs
which he deigns to confide to us.
One of the things to which every
Mussulman ought to be very attentive
is righteousness in character; vices,
such as pride, presumption, egotism,
and Obstinacy, do not become a Mus
sulman. To revere the great and to
compassionate the insignificant are
precepts of IsIamism.
May Godssgive success and salvation
to him who is touched by divine grace.

Old Time Eating.

/ WOman's World: 1t was late in the
fourteenth century when the first evil
dences of art in the shape of silver
cups We're noticeable on the buffet.
The dishes were made Of pewter or
wood, and spoons of bone, wood or
! silver. Knives were rare. and on that
! account guests invited to feasts carried
! their own knives. Forks came into
| general use still later and for long
! years after their introduction they
were considered ridiculous affectation
and fOppery, and not nearly so con-
venient as ones own fingers. The lord
and his lady dipped their fingers into
the same plate and slipped their wine
from the same cup. Even the queenly
! Elizabeth, with all her elaborate ideas
of etiquette, was content to carry her
! food to her mouth with her fingers,
and at first despised the newly invented
fork as unseemly and awkward.
Very gradually the dining hall grew
In comfort and splendOr Dishes of
gold and silver were made, and so eager
were the mobiles for them that they
would sacrifice anything to possess
them. The salt cellar was for a long
time the article of highest Importance
on the board. 1t was great affair
and stood directly in the center of the
table; it was the dividing line; the
mobiles were seated above the salt, the
! cOmmOners below; hence grew the
prOverb, below the salt The pass
ing of salt was d ceremOniOus custom,
the guest throwing a pinch over his
shOulde- and murmuring blessing.
The salt cellars were Of the most cur
iOus devices. Sometimes they repre-
sented huge animals, sometimes a great
fulI-blOwn flower on a long, slender
stem, and they were in the shape of q
chariot, mounted on four wheels, on
which they were easily run down the
table.
The first glass cups came from Ven
ice during the sixteenth century, and
from that time on society began to lose
many Of its primitive ways, and be-
came, IN a sense, more refined.
Henry VII. was born with luxurious
tastes. He had his banquet chairs sup
piled with velvet cushions, about this
time the parlor or talking room, as it
was called, was introduced; and here
the danes took refuge when the dinner
advanced beyond prudent limits, as it
invariably did before the finish.
The cook that presided over the
kitchen In those days was not the cOun-
terpart of our nineteeth century Bird
get, but he was an artist, and gener-
ally a man of quality. The ladies Of
the household, even those of noble
birth, attended to many household
duties, making the bread, preserving
the fruits, while to understand the
proper use Of starch was considered a
great accomplishment.

The Arizona Notified Rather.

"In Arizona are the queer, fascinat-
ing snakes that capture the birds again.
Do you know 1 never exactly believed
that story of Adam and Eve and the
snakes in Eden, but why is it that all
our earliest and latest ideas, too, of the
devil are associated with ID snake?
"Why is it that when we were little
children, and came suddenly upon
some snake, a thrill of horror overcame
us; and why is it, too, that after a
long debauch man winds up seeing
snakes, if it is not a reminder of what
his end viii be if he doesn't hold up
and do the proper thing? Answer me
that, and then I won't believe the Adam
and Eve story, but so long as our pro
fOundest metaphysicians don't know
how to account for a mans seeing
snakes at such times they can't blame
other people for taking some stock
in it.
well, this peculiar Arizona rattle
snake is about four feet long, and fan
tastically notified and dappIed in blu
ish-brown and yellow. He has an eye
so singularly bright and glittering that
it looks like fire.
Once a bird catches a glance of that
eye he is pOwerless to get away. He
flies backward and forward see-saw
style before the RATHER, each time get
ting a little lower, until finally he is
swiped and gulped down.
The glare of the snakes eyes as he
draws the poor bird nearer and nearer
to him, as by a spell, is utterly deviiish
There is no other sight like it on
this broad earth, and I almost shud-
der at the power of the reptile when I
see it myself.
The little wild mice of southern
California, in order to escape the
snakes, appropriate the nests of birds
which have been made in the Opimitia
cactus.
81 have gone up to some of the nests
and thrust my stick in, when out
would come the old mouse, with half a
dozen young ones holding on with
their mouths to her body in various
places, and run down the trunk of the
cactus.
Now, it is one of the marvels how
they do this, for the opimitia cactus
has a double barb, so no kind of snakes
can get up them, yet the old mice and
her young get down without a barb
stuck into them They have got on to
the secret somehow.
