FAIRY TALES.

Pleasant Memories Of tho Charming Sto-
ries Of Childhood.
The charm of fairy tales survives the
age for which they are written. Set
ting aside the scientific explanation Of
certain facts-such as the concealment
of the name in stories of the Rumpel.
stilzkin class; proving this to be a mere
survival of the old savage superstition
which forbids wife to utter. her
husbands name; which indeed hides
the true name as part of the self that
sorcery could hurt all the same as it
could hurt the person by means of the
hair, nails, etc.-setting aside. too, the
still more reconcile explanations which
would lift these stories out Of the re-:
gion of fancy and affiliate them to the
graver parentage of sun myths and the
like-the delight of the mere thing it.
self is as great as it was when we were
children, and more than half believed
such things have been if even they were
not then. Fairy tales have every requi-
site that goes to make q good
story. Simple in outline, they
are vivid in description. FUN
of adventure, they are neither
prolix nor disappointing. They
have no wearisome retrospection, no ex-
hausting analysis of character or mo-
tives. The bad are as black as night,
and have not so much as a glow-worm's
amount of light to redeem them. The
good are without flaw, and end in q
blaze of glory, like Covent Garden
transformation scene. All the lovely
princesses and charming young princes
are made after tho same pattern, with
not even SO much difference among
them as there is in row of wax dolls
in a toy shop. They all have the same
fault curiosity and disobedience-and
are sure TO do the very thing they are
told not to do, with the sweetest I'M
consciousness, the supremest indiffer-
less forgetfulness of threatened conse-
quences. They never have the moral
stature of full-grown human beings,
and one never imagines them of the
same height. They are mannikins-
dolls to suit the grasp and comprehen-
sion of the little people to whom they
are addressed; and the verities of hui
man nature are sent out into the
desert, together with the possibilities
of human life. A nursery without
fairy books is as doleful a place as one
without furry rabbit to run up moth,
er's arm when she takes it in her hand,
or cohort of dolls to share the joys, to
lessen the griefs and receive the secrets
of the various little curlywigs who are
their owners.-London Queen.

HOW to Raise Fine Fruita.

Fruit trees, bushes, vines and plants
seem to have been the great field for the
work of insects and fungi. Berry bushes
have been attacked mostly by trusts.
Fruit trees and their fruits are troubled
with black rot, leaf blight, scab, rot
and insects, and grapes have rot,
mildew and other diseases. The force

THE PLEASURE OF COURTESY.

An Instance Illustrative of the Power of
POliteness.
In a west-end horse car the other day
sat girl dressed as well-dressed girl
should be. If she owned diamonds she
had left them at home. She
wore good and simple clothes,
and had quiet, self-contained
manner. Beside her sat another
girl, with diamond earrings, much
feathered hat, and a general air of
thinking nothing too good for her. The
two girls were talking-and it soon ap-
peared that they had come from the
same school,. Presently the conductor
came along.
The girl with the diamond earrings
gave him a nickel, and mentioned the
street where she wished to stop with an
air that was nothing short of arrogance
Then the low voice of the well-dressed
girl said, gently: Twill you please stop
at Arlington street?' and the other,
who had said Berkeley street, ex-
claimed: "After all, I'll get out when
you do" When they left the car the
well-dressed girl said gentle THANK
YOU to the conductor who had remem-
bered her wish, and had taken care to
stop in precisely the right place. :
''Well, I must say" remarked the
other girl, as they walked along, ''you
couldn't have thanked that man any
more graciously if he had been the
handsomest fellow in Boston and had
just brought you bunch of orchids. -
The well-dressed girl smiled-what q
bright, winsome smile it was!
Don't you think" she answered,
that there is certain kind of pleasure
in being courteous to those who don't
expect it? The people who are used to
pleasant speeches take them as mat

almost everybody is rather curt must

The girl of the diamond earrings
looked at her companion q little GU

mind the word of the enigma. 'sYou

Cheating the Printer.

We notice that the Aiken Recorder has fa
len into bad hands and has been swndlcd by
half dozen foreign advertisers. We extend
our sympathies to our neighbor in his loss.
We presume that this misfortune must have
come to the Recorder from advertising in
some OF the newspaper directories or ANIMALS
and swearing to circulation.
Since the Press and Banner quit advertising
in the directories, and since we have
quit advertising medicines, we receive very
few offers of foreign advertising.
We publish no medical advertisements and
positively refuse to give editorial or local Ell.
dorsement of medicines Of which we know
nothing.
1t may seem that to refuse medical adver
tlsements is against the interest of the coun'
try paper, but We have found by experience
that it pays the Press and Banner better to
cater for the business of tho reading public
After an experience Of say. ten years. we are
more than ever satisfied that Il country news
paper makes q mistake when editorial or
reading notices Of medicines arc put in the
paper.
In the first place, we have never been offer
ed for such notices a price much above tho
cost of type-setting and the subscription
price of the paper; and, in the next place, Il
must TO some extent iujure a country paper
to fill its columns with medical notices.
The Press and Banner gets cheated some
times but we are saved many temptations to
work for irresponsible people by refusing al
advertisements which bear on their face the
evidence Of a cheat.
For instance-We never publish advertise
ments Of medicines which propose to cure
consumption, brghts disease, fits, or other
diseases which every intelligent newspaper
reader knows is incurable.
