cultural outlook, in the course of which
it says that the steady rise in wheat re-
wives the hopes of the English farmer.
It adds that wheat will secure the best
price obtained in many years, the prin.
cipal cause of the rise being the failure of
foreign crops.
at is almost certain," the Standard
concludes, "that the worlds wheat con.

sufficient to cover the European deficit,

Miss Leila Webb, about sixteen years OF
age, was shot last night by her young

skull above the right eye, causing her
death in one hour and half. Miss Leila
was combing the hair OF her cousin, Miss
Beulah, preparatory for start to walk,
when the young lad of fifteen years,
Robert Webb, Jr., walked into the room
and picked up pistol, which he suppos-
ed was unloaded, and pointed it at the
young lady's head, drew the trigger and
fired, when the young lady fell to the
floor and remained insensible and speech
less until her death. This sad tragedy is
one more amid thousand deaths caused
by the careless use of pistols in the hands
of fools. The boy, it is said, did not
know it was self: cooking pistol, and he
did not intend to kill his cousin, and was

There are many causes that have oper-
ated to enlarge the cotton area, among
which may be mentioned, the lack of
sufficient capital, the high price of cotton
at the close of the war, the increased use
of commercial fertilizers, the changes in
the labor system of the State, and the
cash value that cotton always commands.
No criticism Of the agriculture of South
Carolina would be just or complete with
out considering these influences.

Women mt Auction Sales.

"Our best friends are the women. -
said an auctioueer to a New York Tel
egrdm reporter as the former hung out
his red flag in front of fancy and no.
ton store. ~The average woman is
the most determined bidder, for when
a woman will she will, and that's
equally true when she sets her mind
on getting bargain at an auction sale
as it is when she wants to have the
last word with her husband. The
women who attend auction sales of any
kind are neither very rich nor very
poor. They are from the comfortable
class. The women enjoy shopping and
we like to see them at our sales, for we
know the prices, and of course il fol.
lows the commissions will be higher
than If their men folks did the bidding.
Some women have q perfect mania
for attending auction sales. They will
go to sale in Maiden lane in the
morning and to another in the div
goods districts in the afternoon. They
invariably display good judgment in
selecting the newest designs aud fash
ions, but we have them when il comes
to prices, for 1 never met woman vet
who would let man outbid her for an
article she had set her mind upon.

Science of the AncIents.

We pride ourselves on living in an
age of discovery and invention, and
pity our ancestors for being born too
soon. Yet much of this is misplaced.
says William Alva. The real truth
seems to be that the ancients knew
about everything we know, only the
knowledge was not generally diffused.
The learned man 1000 or 5000 years
ago was 80 far superior to the majority
that he was regarded as wizard, and
prudently kept his learning to himself.
In our schools at the present day we
use "Euclid's Elements of Geometry"
written by Euclid 1900 years ago.
Euclid also wrote on music and optics,
antedating much which we think we
discovered.
The ancients were wonderful glass
workers and discovered a method of
making it malleable, which we have
not been able to do. They could spin
glass into garments, dye it in every
shade of the rainbow, and etch it with
marvellous skill.

covered that amber, when rubbed. at
tracts light and dry bodies, and in the
twelfth century the scientific priests
OF Etruria drew lightning from the
clouds with iron rods.
All the mechanical powers, the
screw, lever, pulley, incline plane,
wedge, wheel, and axle, were known
to the ancients and used in everyday
life. They were expert builders, as
existing relics testify.
Natural gas conveyed in bamboo
tubes was utilized in China centuries
ago, and one of the Mongolian authors
writes of boxes which repeated the
sound of voices of men long since dead
An approximation to the photograph
of Edison.
In medical skill the Oriental ply
sicians of India practiced vaccination
1000 years ago. Anesthetics were
known in the DAYS of Homer, and the
Chinese 1000 years ago had prepare
ton of hemp, known as "una yo." to
deaden pain-something similar to the
modern cocaine.
In all that pertains to sculpture and
painting the ancients knew so much
that their superiority has never been
questioned, and their work remains as
unsurpassed mOuelS.
We may say with truth that much
of our boosted light and mechanical
wisdom is but the match put once again
to the old candle of our ancestors. The
old times were days of war and OPP
preston, and the inventor hid his in
vention for fear of being robbed. The
yast majority had no money to bny a !
!aborlng dec1ce, even II they had
brains to use it.
1t was not practical age, and the
knowledge, as we'll as wealth, was con-
fined to the few. Nowadays an in
vention of value spreads over this
world likea fash of gunpowder, and in
the light of modern common sense the
invention of the common friction match
has doubtless done more for the good
Of mankind than all the discoveries of
antiquity.

The Child.

The child is near the savage in his
love for myths and fairy stories. What
is the myth? The shell, the beautiful
shell that has brought truth to us
adown the ages. Without the myth
we should have very little of the past.
The savage looked down to the earth
and the earth said: "What am II"
and the poor savage with his untu-
tored mind replied, Thou are God, ;"
and worshiped it. And he looked up
to the sun, and the sun said: What
am II" and the savage bowed rever-
emily and said: "Thou art God" The
child has this spirit of inquiry; the
stars are the nail holes in the floor of
heaven; the doll is fetch to the
child. A stick or bundle of rags is
loved by the child as it loves its life
That is a fetch. Would you rob the

no philosophy has ever entered moth
er's heart so terrible as that. You re-
member the few bits IF broken plates
and a single or two where you re-
ceiyed company, fed them, talked TO
them, dismissed and sent them home.
Your mind peopled the whole air with
fairy forms. "That was not true"
saws the Puritan. 1t was true. 1t was
truth coming to that child in the way
God intended truth to come. What Is
this fancy which comes in the myth and
the story told by the cradle9 That
growth of fancy is the growth of spirit
ual life. Confine the child to the stern
world of fact and he becomes very
stern fact. He must live in the world
beyond: he must have faith in the
spiritual life.
The child is a born naturalist. There
is not child alive who does not love
nature. 1t is good plan for us to 90

what we loved.
Every child is born lover OF music.

The light comes to us in cadenced
rhythm; sound comes to us in cadenced
