VARIETY THE SPICE OF LIFE.
(LN7LrenS .lIrertl&sr.O

The year IS skipping along at
blithesomc rate towards the convcnin@
Of the General Assembly and already
we begin to reckon i'll weeks the inter
val that mnst elapse.
This approaching session surveyed
from this distance would appear
another momcntous one. We fear
that it may turn out q serious matter
but we cannot help but believe that 1t
would be salutary for the State if the
LEGISLATORS would minglc together
rather in gaicty and sportivcness and
for the once avoid sccthing disputation.
We think that the legislators would
discover that thirty days spent ia
harmless amusement would pay them
lust as we'll as if they undertook the
heavy burdens of aW-making and we
suspect that the people would scarcely
suffer any Immediate pain or future
depression. -,
Poor, dear cid carcworn South
Carolina sadly wants diversion. She
is sick for the lack of fun. 1t would
be an easy task for the legislature 10
furnish it in unlimited quantities.
The Adreniser has faint suspicion
that an eminent statesman, who II not
taken too seriously is patriotic 10 the
core, realized that the cracking of a
Joke was needed when he introduced a
woman's rights bill in the Senate last
December. We do not mean 10 hint
that he regarded his bill as funny but
it is possible that he anticipated &
hilarious reception for it on the part
of his fellow Senators. At any rate,
it was a capital joke 10 matter with
what pathetic earnestness OF purpose
it NAV have been aimed and that most
of the Solons had succeeded in work
ing themselves into such 4 fcrment
that they could not appreciate mcri-
torious jest is to be regretted.
We should be pleased TO see General
IIemphill introduce like measure
again as soon as the session begins.
We should hail with Joy anyshing that
would offer the legislature an excuse
to unlimber and be silly on ground
that isn't dangerous. Of course the
success of a woman's suffrage move
ment would not involve disasters ana
is consideration might prevent acts
which would place the State III a
more precarious condition than ever.
Besides, we should be delighted to
see the ladies agitated over political
subjects. We desire to have them arm
themselves and wade into the ranks
of war. The struggles for the past
four years have been more than the
sterner sex can endure. Its sternness
has about departed. Time was when
the piercing shrek of the calamity
shrieker brought the sub-treasury man
to his feet, when the wal cry of the
prohibitionist reused the whiskey
dealer to action and the growl of pro-
lection barons made the democrat grid
up his loins, but that time is gone.
Men, Of all factions are exhausted,
whipped, sick and tired. Something
must be done lest period of political
depression ensuc. The key to the
situation is in the hands Of The Sena-
tor from Abbevillc. lie should make
the most of it.
Ladies, the cudgels are yours. Take
them up. Give us a rest.

Rain on st. Swithin's Day.

The old superstition about st.
Swithin and the rain has very gen.
orally died out. There are still, how
ever, q good many who incline to the
belief that such a notion must have
had a basis Of scientific fact or it
could not have obtained as it has
done for centuries. Some years ago
the records of Greenwich observatory
were examined for 90 years with a
view to ascertaining whether as a
matter Of fact a rainy July Is is
usually followed by rainy period
approximating to 40 days.
1t was found that the years in
which St. Swithin's day had given no
rain were rather wetter during the
following 40 days than other years.
It was concluded that the tradition
had no meteorological facts whatever
to support it. Everybody has heard
the old story about the removal of
St. Swith,n's bones on July Is and
of the manner in which the saint re-
scented it by leluging the district 1t
is curious fact, but well authenti-
Gated, that the good mans bones were
shifted from their original resting
place in circumstances of considera-
bic pomp and splendor and without
a drop of rain falling. The origin of
the superstition was probably ter
rible food which in 1913 devastated
crops. London News.

Pearls Of Thought,

A foolish woman is known by her
finery.
If you would lit me you must be on
higher grounds.
Poverty Is nothing dlsgraceful for a
man to confess.
Whosoever is not working is begin
ming or stealing.
The greatest miracle of love is that
1t cures coquetry.
It is the man who knows all who has
the most to learn.
Chance opportunities make US known
to others and still more to ourselves.
What we take to be trouble would
often be welcomed as friend, if we
could but see It's face.
There are people who like to take up
their cross only when they are sure
that others will see it.
There are people who never have a
kind word to say to the living who are
always praising the dead.
Don't try 20 die because you have
met great disappointment. You can
not. The unhappy live long.

Words Of Wisdom.

Silence is one great art of conyersa-
ton.
To pity distress is human; to relieve
it is God like.
What maintains one vice would bring
up two children.
The child must think intelligently
before he can read intelligibly.
He that rebukes a private fault
openly, betrays 1t rather than reproves
it.
No EVIL propensity of the human
heart is 90 powerful that 1t may not be
subdued by discipline.
lie who has no opinion Of his own.
but depends upon the opinion and taste
of others, is slave.
Men of the noblest dispositions think
themselves happiest when others share
their happiness with them.
Let men laugh when you sacrifice
desire to duty. If they will. You have
time and eternity to rejoice III.
That man has good start up the hill
of knowledge, who can learn good
lesson from another's experience.
There has never been wisdom enough
IN the world to know how to help a
man who does not try to help himself.
Our friends should take the plalnness
of enemies in accusing. and still mlngle
it with the tenderness and good aftec
tions of friends.

Rationale Weed.

In Monterey, as we'll as Santa Clara
County, California, there grows weed
called the rattlesnake weed.
1t is so named from the story that
when rattlesnakes get to fighting each
other this weed, if eaten by them, will
prevent death.
1t grows about six inches tall. has a
red stalk and slender leaves. On the
top OF the stalk comes head of flowers
and the seeds of these flowers are said
to be very annoying to one passing
through mass Of them, AS they are
furnished with sharp barbs commonly
called stickers.
The early settlers who had herds OF
sheep always made their herdsman
keep with them bottle of strong tea
made of rattlesnake weed, and when
any Of the sheep were bitten they were
DIRE nched with this tea, which always
saved them.

Flowers That Change Their CoIors.

CENTS THAT DROP FROM HEAVEN.
4 Little Toy Told II story which Sounded
Very Much E.ike an Cntruth.

a Little Eoy Told story Which Sounded
Very Much Eikc an Untruth.
Little Richard NJ was very hand!
some and very pleasant boy. The
house he lived in, in small city,
had no door yard in front Of it, but
the sidewalk was wide and clean and
nicely shaded by elm trees and was
not so much crowded with passers.
So it was q pleasant and safe place
for little Richard to play.
The only objection to it was that
people passing by We're apt to be SO
much pleased with tho bright faced
little fellow that they would take no:
tice of him i'll way that might
make him vain-so his wise mother
thought--and quite often gentle
man passing would give him cent.
Richard S mother thought that this
was not good for him, and so she
very plainly told him not to take
any more cents if they were offered
him. He was to thank any such
gentleman for his kindness, but to-
tell him that his mother did not ap.
prove of his taking money from any
one.
One day after she had given him
his charge little Richard brought in
a penny. When his mother saw it,
she reproved him for disobeying her.
But he answered, Mamma, there
did not any man give mo this cent.
God threw it down to me out Of
heaven"
This shocked his mother all the
more, for she thought that it must
be lie. She did not see how her
little boy could possibly think that
he was telling the truth. So she re-
proved him very solemnly and tried
hard to make him see how wicked
he had been and to confess his sin.
But tho little fellow stuck to it, and
said over and over again: There
was not any man there. God did
throw the cent down to mo from
heaven"
His mother was greatly distressed
and kept trying to get Richard to
confess his sin and ask forgiveness.
If she could not get him to do this,
she thought she must punish him.
But before she did so she talked with
young man who studied and slept
in the front room on the second floor
of her house. He was able and glad
to explain the strange thing. He
did not know that Richard had been'
forbidden to take such gifts, and one
day sitting at his front window,
when the little boy was playing be.
low, he tossed cent down to him
without putting his own head in;
sight. The cent dropped and jingled
on the pavement. Richard looked
up and around and saw NO person.,
and he honestly believed what he
told his mother.
No doubt she was very thankful
to be thus saved from doing cruel
wrong to her dear, truthful boy.
The mothers who read this will pray
God to keep them from doing such a.
wrong to their children. But, chill
dren, dreadful az it would have been
for little Richard to be punished for ~.
ing, when he had told the real honest
truth, it would have heen even more
dreadful if he had told 4 lie and de-
ceived hismother. DO you not think:
