FIRST AMERICAN ANARCHIST.

James Few's Uprising to Overthrow Gov
= ernment In Colonial Days.
; There is q general impression that
the Anarchist is foreign importation.
As matter of fact, the first Anarch :5t
in the United States was an American
Of English ancestry, and he lived 4
very long while ago as we Americans
reckon history.
James Few was his name. He was
thrifty, industrious carpenter. born
In South Carolina about the middle Of
the last century. His parents were
simple, honest people, and he was
their only child. AS he grew up he
became their support When James
Few had grown to manhood there
came new governor to the colony Of
Carolina. He was Gov. Tryon.
He had way of clarping on extra
taxes upon every preteSt, which was
something the simple people of the
colony could not appreciate. In fact,
it became very difficult for them to get
enough to eat, and drinking was out of
the question if they were to paw the
taxes. Now. you may sometimes re-
duce mans rations and he may not
hurtfully object, but wiseacres let a
mans propensity for drink severely
alone. or else prepare for squalls.
To James Few the conduct of Tryon
seemed an outrage. He had no book
knowledge of any sort, but few years
later great many others, who did have
q great deal of knowledge, agreed with
him and started the great revolution
that founded the United States.
But the first anarch went further. 1t
seemed to him that law was the cause
of all the trouble. He thought If all
the governors were abolished the peo-
pie would get along very nicely them
selves. They need no government to
collect taxes; in fact there should be
no taxes. He did not stop with think
ing. He talked with his companions at
his workbench until he had won over
great many of them.
One day friend of Gov. Tryon's
was brought before him accused OF
several heinious offenses- The gov
ernor made farce of his punishment
by ordering the prisoner to pay fine
of one penny for each offcnsc. This
was the last straw. The good loyal
people became indignant. James Few
and his companions felt that the'oppor.
tuuity had come to test their theory.
They armed themselves and set about
capSaring the governor. But rumo,
of the proposed uprising reached the
capital. Summary measures were
taken. The troops were called out and
the followers of James Few fell like
the summer grass. James Few him,
self was captured and without even
the farce of trial was hanged to a
forest tree.
The people at once dispersed, but the
seeds of the great revolution were
sown and few years later grew W
and overturned the old form of govern
ment.
But poor James Few was not thu
only one who suffered from his un
selfish desire to help his fellows. Tn,
little property which his domestic
| virtues had enabled him to accumulat,
was 'contiscated and his aged parents
were obliged to end their days III a,

ABOUT PILLOWS
Some Objections to Those in Use in This

Some Objections to Those In Use In This
Country.
The use of pillow is not matter of
mere blind usage. 1t has physiolog-
zeal basis. We sleep, for the most
part, on the side, and without pillow
the head would be uncomfortably and
harmfully lower than the body.
1t will be remembered that Jacob,
when fleeing from Esau, took stone
for pillow. He needed something
for the purpose, and nothing better
than a stone presented itself. Suel.
practices are common in Africa at fSe
present day. Bishop Taylor probably
found it convenient, if not necess ary,
to take up with them in his travels in
that land; for on his return to this
country he rejected the soft pillows OF
his friendly hosts, and, sometimes a
least, substituted one of books.
Some people rest the neck instead
the head on hard pillows. In-Afric,
extraordinary headgears make this
practice necessary, and many =. civ
ilized woman has been COMPEL ed by a
somewhat similar couture to forego
both the pillow and. the recumbent
posture.
A consideration of the physiological
reason for pillows will suggest their
proper thickness. They should merely
bring the head to natural level. Some
pillows are much too thick. BY bend
ing the neck unduly, they interfc<e
with the outflow of the venous blood
from the head. The pillow that Just
fills up the space above the shoulder
best suits its end.
Again, pillows of feathers are obiec.
tionable. While they furnish the
needed support for the heaA, they are
too heating, as they have a remarkable
capacity for holding and accsmulating
heat
1t should be remembered that more
blood, and hence more heat, goes to
the head than to any other part of the
body. Head-heating pillows ere against
the wholesome maxim: Keep the feet
warm, but the head cool" There is
nothing better than the hal pillow.
Further, the pillow is for Che head,
nor for the shoulders. To rest the
shoulders on the pillow deficits the very
end for which it is used.
Finally, special care should be taken
of infants in this matter We have
seen their heads sun<en dccp in the
softest and thickest of pillows, and
their faces, as a natural consequence:
covered with great beads Of perspira
ton. 1t is no wonder that children SC
treated die. Youths Companion.
