Die Unnecessarily.

Many people die unnecessarily. Few
people take proper care of themselves.
Healthy people are prone to be careless,
and so destroy their health. Youth and
health place the individual in sort OF
intoxication. The healthy young man is
full oflife, energy, ambition, hope, enthu.
siasm. He thinks he can do anything
with his vigorous constitution, and he
generally does about everything with it.
He finds that a night of sound sleep re.
cuperates him, and he imagines that this
will always be the case. Instead of hus.
banding his forces, he wastes them. BE
is as extravagant with his health as an'
other man may be with his money. he
is living on his capital, and not on the
returns from his investments.
Men and women ought not to die as
young as theydo. Our science has taught
us that the lower animals attain to
number of years five times as great as the
number of years that bring them to ma
turity, barring, of course, accident and
disease. Man reaches maturity at the
age of Is. Five times 25-125. Tht
natural life of man ought to be 125 years
according to physiological laws. O
course, he must live in climate that doe
not offer too great a resistauce,-PAysi

This feeling of WEAKNESS, so often
experienced in the spring, results from 8
sluggish condition of the blood which,
being impure, does not quicken with the
changing season. Ayers Sarsaparilla,
by yitaliziDg and cleansing the blood,
strengthens and invigorates the system.
Anew York gentleman has receiv-
ed letter from Texas, in which the
writer says: "a few weeks prior to writ
ing this letter a negro in central Texas
was chased by a hoopsnake. The negro
was mounted on mule. He saw that
he would be overtaken, whereupon he
dismounted and sought-shelter behind a
large cypress tree. The snake uncoiled
and threw itself against the tree, burYing
its poisoned prong at the end of the tail
so deeply into the wood that it could not
extricate itself. A splinter from the tree
struck the mule and killed it. Next day
the tree, which was several feet in cir.
cumference, had shrivelled to the size of
sapplipg."

The Tired Wife and Mother.

Man thatis born of woman, is born
tired, that is, prone to fatigue. Woman
that is married to man, is just as prone to
fatigue. tits in their respective meth
ods of showing their tiredness that man
and a woman differ as widely as the roar
of a cyclone differs from the sigh and sob
of the oceans voice. When man is
FUSED up" "tired out" he not only
knows it but he takes some plains to i'm.
press the fact upon those about him,
those of bis own household in particular.
His wife knows it while he is yet afar off;
knows it by his step, the way he bangs
the front door, and by the manner of his
hanging up coat aud hat in the hall.
The children know it, often to their cost.
The used up mans clerk knows it and
acts accordingly, and his employees know
thai in their employers sullen visage the
storm signal is visible. The average
man (there are some glorious exceptions
to this rule) is, when suffering from ia
tigue, not only very tired, but he makes
those about him tired with him, often of
him. So much for the father and hus.
band.
How about the wife and mother? She
is never aggressively tired, though she
may be complainingly so. She is most
apt to hide from those about her the
fact that she is tired, and to smile is very,
very tired, and to smile when she is
weary to the hearts core. For woman's
work and duties are of the kind that
bring weariness of soul and body and
spirit. She is often called upon to comfort
such wearyipg array ofsmall worriment
in the fulfllment of her daily duties as
would simply madden the most even
tempered man. Yet she not only passes
the ordeal successfully, but is ready,
when the day is over, to absorb from her
husband some of his troubles and weari.

as a rule, and as compared to the utter
WEAKNESS which comes to woman, donot
know the meaning of the word "tired."
But they think they do, and they act in
manner calculated to make their weari.
ness very wearisome to others.

Figuring as q Freak.

New YORK, April 22.-J. B. Jackson,
an American export merchant in Can.
ton, China, who arrived here to day by
way of San Francisco, said to Press News
reporter that the recent floods in China
were even more terrible than reported.
A territory as large as New York State
was inundated and depopulated, and
thousand of Cinnamon drowned. One of
the most singular incidents of the flood
was the escape of the Rev. Mr.. Perkins,
o Protestant missionary, from Chinese
circus, which was caught in the food.
He was a thousand miles into the inte.
rior of China and started to preach in a
village. His auditors could not under
stand him, and he could understand
nobody. There happened to be travel.
ling Chinese circus in the village that
day. He drew more people than the
circus, because he was white, and the
people had never seen white man
before. The circus men captured him as
freak, and put him in cage. BE was
made to stand in the cage in an odd
costume, and was taken from town to
town to throughout the interior Of
China as wild man.
a pig-tailed Chinaman stood at the
door of the circus and delivered a lecture
| on him. The Chinese fakirrepresented the
missionary as white, wild and untama'
BILE. When the missionary walked up
and dowu his cage, exposulation with the
yellow spectators, his words were taken
as meaningless gibberish. The wise
Cinnamon looked on with scientific
courtesy. For nearly two years he was
the standard curiosity, the greatest freak
of the interior of China. He was the
Jumbo of the Chinese mensgerie.
One day the circus, which the mission
ary had made popular, was having an
exhibition in a Chinese town. The food
swept down, and the showmen and peo
pie fed for their lives; but many were
drowned. The missionary got out of the
cage and escaped. Amid the horror and
confusion be made his way to Canton
and rejoiced at his deliverance.
He is as sanguine Of the conversion o1
the Chinese as ever.

Bible Plants.

It must not be supposed, however, that
the fora of the Holy Land is meagre.
On the contrary, it is strikingly rich and
diversified. There are twice as many
species of plants native to Palestine as
there are in the very much wider area of
the British Isles. But it is only on
account of their economic utility, or
because of their suitability for moral and
spiritual illustration, that they are men
toned by the inspired writers. The
geographical conditions of Palestine are
so varied and its climate is 80 favorable
to vegetable growth that no botanist will
feel astonished at the richness ofits fora.
Of Oriental types there are the splendid
acacias, and their brightly colored para.
site, the loranthus; the denizens Of the
mountain include the oak, the maple the
magnificent cedar and the pretty oxyria !;
among the trees are the carob, the tere.
binth, the olive and the oleander; crowds
of orchids and anemones, lilies and pinEs,
cyclamens and echiums, and many other
snowy flowers occur in such profusion as
to lead Caron Trisham to compare the
scene to the Garden of Eden; while
everywhere are seen most of the blossoms
that ornament the English wayside and
hedgerow-the buttercup and daisy, the
campiol and corn.poppy, the dog.rose
and bayony, the.willow.herb and german
der speedwell, the herbrobert and stitch
wort, the wild mint and selfheal, the
groundsel and dandelion, and others
familiar to us. The chief attraction,
however, of the Palestinian fora does
not lie in its profusiou, nor even in its
beauty, but in its hallowed associations.
We cannot help feeling impressed even
by the simple daisy and buttercup of
those pastures over which Abraham
walked when, by divine direction, he
pitched his tent in the land of promise.
The beautiful tulips and orchids shine
with added charms when We reflect that
it was flowers like these, and growing
where they now flourish, that David, the
ruddy.faced shepherd lad, plucked while
guarding his fathers focks. These
charming anemones and tinted or spot
less lilies that trans6gure the plains and
ponds of Judea seem to speak to our
very soul as they re echo the sweet and
oftneeded lessons of trust and content
ment which the Saviour drew from them.

twisted his head under the lions
throat, the hinder hands Strengthened
out with nauseating sound of rending
flesh, as with one swift stroke he com.
pletely disemboweled the lion. There
arose terrible cry of fanguish, a sudden
twirl around, several strokes of brown
paws and dark, hairy arms through the
cloud of dust, and then all was over.
The whirling leaves settled, and there in
death grip lay the two mighty monarchs
of the wilds. The lion was utterly
disemboweled, his entrails having been
seized by the hinder hands and literally
dragged out by the roots; while the lion
by a. last dying effort, had succeeded in
getting his throat freed from the gorilla's
teeth and with one powerful blow had
smashed the apes head, as a hammer
does hickory nut.
Presently figure moving on the edge
ofthe clearing attracted our notice, and
ne saw the female gorilla peering out
between the bushes, with an agonizing
human look upon her face that was
dreadful to see. Slowly and cautiously
she advanced across the open space until
she reached the bodies then she touched
first one and then the other, uttering
plaintive cries ofgrief that were touching
in the extreme. At last she managed to
disentangle the body of her mate, look.
ed into the eyes, examined the wound,
and still crying, took it in her arms, and,
laboriously dragging it across the open
space disappeared in the forest beyond.
She was safe from my rife. I would not
have shot her for million dollars, and it
was with strange feeling of depression
that turned my back upon the clearing,
and following my guide left behind the
scene of one of the most interesting and
vivid experiences of my not uneventful
life

South Carolina on the contrary has
gained nothing, but lost. But judging
by the way money is paid in salaries, etc.,
we are by long odds the richest and most
prosperous of the three States. Does
anybody claim that we have more eff
cient or ADLER officials than Georgia and
North Carolina? It is urged that
reduction of pay would bring in set Of
"cheap" men who would be inefficient.
But, Judging by the scramble over a
vacant Judgeship or Solicitors place, we
think our taxpayers can safely rely on
getting just as good as they now do for
the same money paid by North Carolina
or Georgia.
Without going into figures, We take it
for granted that our Lunatic Asylum and
Penitentiary are managed in just as
extravagant a manner as the other
departments-the one proving great
burden to the taxpayers and the other
yielding no income, though it might be
made to pay at least $4,000 year to
defray the expenses of the government.
We have shown that s45,00O can be
saved if the same basis of expenditure as
in North Carolina be adopted.
The privilege tax on fertilizers amounts
to over 100000 yearly. The work done
by it can and ought to be done
by the agricultural college. Here, then,
is $4,000 to build and equip the college,
without either touching Mr.. Clemson's
money or resortipg to new taxation. If,
then, we leave the University the s34, 500
now appropriated and the tuition fees
and relieve it of the expense of attempt.
