CONSERVATISM IN ROADS.
Progressive Tn Most Things, We Are Be |; hind the Age In Highways.

ProGressive Tn Most Things, We Are Be
 hind the Age Tn Highways.
 Man is conservative. To this hour and in lands whose people boast great achievements he is still content to use roads that are in roughness, in steepness and wetness what they were centuries ago. He seems to believe-I do not charge that he thinks-that continued endurance of ills he knows is easier than the mental exertion required for learn ing what are better ways and for screw ing up his courage to the point of adopt ing those ways.
 Leaders of reforms are usually de nounced by their own generation as ex' tremists It is necessary that to move the masses as far as they should go the leaders must go farther. But can it bt shown that the most extreme of reform, CTS has been guilty of persisting in blun ders as wasteful, as costly. as absurd, a, those to which the conservative element obstinately adhere?

BE KIND 10 LOVE.

Be kind to a love. If a good woman love you And you can't return all her tenderness, tread Light on that love lest she rise above you And you learn to love her when her love is
 dead. Be kind to love. Your beauty given, Fair woman, that you might lift mankind
 above The world and its woes. Twas sent you from
 heaven:
 Be careful and constant and kind to A love. For the heart that returns to a love long neg
 lCCted
 To hear the old story that never grows old And claims the Cares>C~ so often rejected Will sorrow to learn that that love has grown
 cold.

DIET AND COLOR,
The Kind of Food to Eat For n Bright
 ComplexIon.


 A bright complexion will go great way toward beautifying plain face. To secure it perfect circulation of the blood is absolutely necessary, and to re- tain 1t meat diet should be avoided. The roses must be painted in the cheeks, lips and chin by nature. Abundant ex. ercise and an outdoor life are invaluable.
 Animal food is not conducive to a fine color. Meat once a day should I've the limit. Meat broths. soup extracts and jellies are. on tho other hand, very whole some. Vegetables should form the diet. and as they are numerous no difficulty will be found in getting a change. Let tuce, one of the most valuable greens, contains n sufficient amount of opium to freshen the complexion by absorbing the impurities of the blood that otherwise would appear on the face in the form of pimples and cruptions. The soups of the king" prepared for the dyspeptic Charles VI. are still favored by beauties in all countries. In this age they are known as cream soups" All are white, or of delicate tint, and free from greasy or oily substances, tho stock be ing extracts of some strong soup. Asparagus. bears. celery. caulifiower tomato, cucumber. Chickweed. crab and lobster are some of the fifteenth century soups that are considered favorable tc beauty color. Soft boiled eggs are among the best articles of food. and those hard boiled are among the worst. Candy conserves, croquettes. doughnuts. crul lers. patties and pastry are bad for the complexion. and so are all dishes that are cooked in butter or lard. Fried oys ters are most injurious because indigest | ible.

SNhN bN1 b 4h-AN[iEr- I. ne WAS once a prominent candidate for his party's nomination for governor, and, ac- cording to the political gossips, had mar row escape from being United States senator in place of Governor Hill.
 It was Anr. Thacher who originated the canalboat campaign of 1889, which was ridiculed without mercy at the start and yet turned out great success for the Democrats. He owns The Evening Union newspaper of Albany, and both as publisher and politician has always been a warm friend and supporter of MT. Cleveland. When Mir. Thacher was appointed commissioner of awards for the Worlds fair he took a good look at the existing system, and, in the classic language of Chicago, immediately pro ceeded to kick the stuffing out of it." Foreign exhibitors came and saw and kicked, but Mir. Thacher had been smart enough to get his plan approved by con gress, and kicking was in vain.
 In all previous worlds fairs gold, a silver and bronze medal were given for the best, second best and third best articles respectively in each exhibit. The immense importance of getting the gold medal is illustrated by the fact that an American brewing company which took the first prize for beer few years ago declared it worth $2, 900 900 to them in their business. These awards were made by juries of three, five or seven men, but Mir. Thacher declared tie sys- tenn liable to gross perversion. Bribery and trickery were resortrd to. he said, and gross injustice done because one piano, for instance. might excel in touch, another i'll tone. and so on. He therefore decided that all the medals should be of bronze, and the special merits of each article should be fully set forth in the accompanying diploma.
 In the article of beer. for instance, the diploma will set forth the chemical purity
 and "tone" or whatever else makes the special excellence. This. MT. Thacher
 thinks. will be fair, instructive and give | the buyer O chance and not bestow such | lavish wealth on any one man or com pany. Foreign exhibitors did not think
 so, and there was much talk of refusalS
 to exhibit, but Mir. Thacher prevailed or
 the objectors to agree to a compromise
 which provides for appeals to larger | juries and finally to the whole depart ment committee.

Road. the Test of Civilization.

It has recently been advanced in mag azine and newspaper articles that one Of the best tests of a nations prosperity and general progress in the march of modern civilization is to be found in the nature and condition of our common highways By this it is not meant how the boulevards, streets and alleys of her large cities are paved and kept in condi ton, but how the approaches to the cities. the turnpikes. the country roads and the cross country cuts, which the farmer must use in order to bring his produce to market, are constructed and maintained
 Judged from this standard, it is claim ed that America is less civilized today than any European country, and that the United States would have been in all essential regards more prosperous than it is at present if in place of its railways it had secured a system of highways constructed and maintained in the highest state of the roadmaker's art. Many of its cities would be but country towns, and the buffalo would still roam over much of the country to the west of the Mississippi On the oth- CT hand, the farmers would know more of one another than they do at present. Though they could not market their corn in Liverpool, they would still be able to take it to mill without the sore tax which the bad roads so generally levy upon them, or which the toll taker requires as the price of 6 passable way | In such a well united community dis tance counts for little against the duties of life. The farmers could attend their own meetings. They could do their du- ty by their churches and have e share in ! the festivities which enliven and enlarge their days. On the contrary, where the roads are bad all the duties of the citi- zen and the social being are most imper- fectly done. The people get in the hab- it of hermit life, and the winter season. which should be the time of social inter course, is passed in seclusion.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch-

To mend gloves cut strip off the tor of long glove and insert morsel of it under rip. attaching it with blind stitches to the sides of the aperture, That is done when the finger or the glove is small or short. Again, sew up the rip with cotton of the self same color, not with silk. But the best thing of all is mending tissue.

 litical activities indicating bright fu- ture, but later he became a recluse and after the death of his wife lived as a hermit at Fort Hill. He left the plan tation to the state on condition that an agricultural college should be estab- hshed there and named for him.
 The result is the Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical college, which was formally opened but few days ago. Its history is curious, as it gave occasion for one of the hottest fights in Carolina politics. In 1886 Captain B. R. Tillman, thena farmer of Edgeield county, began to agitate for state institution to edu- cate farmers sons. In 1888 MT. Clem- son died, and the fight over the accept ance of his gift split the old parties badly. Benjamin Tillman won, how ever, and soon after his election as gov ernor the gift was accepted and work begun.

The spacious verandas, with big round stone columns, give a fine southern and ancestral look. which is greatly increased by the grove of oaks and an avenue of cedars leading up from the entrance to the grounds.
