''Woman's Purity a Nations
Greatness"
Exchange.

Exchange.
The purity OF woman is nations
greatness. Look to the United States
and to England and see the cause OF
their power and greatness, and it can
be attributed to the purity of their
women. Then on the other hand look
to France, where marriage vows are
considered as little, and where the
purity of woman is hardly demanded,
where a wine cellar in which to stow
away their wines is Of more importance
than the virtue of their wives and
daughters.
Wherever a Nation, State, county,
town or neighbcrhood fail to respect
the virtue of the women, and look
down to it instead of revering it, then
that Nation or State or county or town
or neighborhood is on the down grade
and it is only question of time when
it reaches the bottom. where 1t Will be
abhorrcd by all good women and men.
1t is hard, hard thing to build up
a good reputation it takes lite OF
devotion to principle, yet the lowest
whelp in all christendom can by his
foul mouth SANDER, soil the character
of the purest woman or the noblest
man. The man who would say any
thing that could IN anyway injure a
wo,nan's character, is lower than the
cur dogs, as they will defend each Other
from assaults. Lord help the man who
would stoop so low as to say harm
against the sex that gave him birth.
Hold woman's purity as high as yot
do your religion.

It is better to suffer than to sin.
Keep your heart full of sunshine.
Sin is most fascinating when it hides
its face.
There can be no real life where there
is no love.
All sins are big, no matter how small
they look.
Those who would lead others should
always look up.
1t lightens duty to resolve to per
form it cheerfully.
A civil tongue is better weapon
than a bowie knife.
Love is the greatest OF all things
because it gives all things.

Quarantine Fer consumpt!ves.
BART MOORE

Durham Globe.
Science has demonstrated that all
contagious Diseases are caused by the
feeding OF baccilli on the tissues OF the
BODY. yellow fever, small-po cholera
and all these so-called contagious dis
eases are understood to lie prevented to
a great extent by the complete isolation
of the diseased persons. Instead OF be-
ing the awful plaques that they once
were, tLev have come to play com
paratively small part in the death roll
of civilized countries. This change
has been accomplished almost exciu-
slvelv by strict quarantine.
That dread disease, consumption,
sweeps away more persons every wear
than any other malady in the catalogue
Of ills. It is more uniformly fatal than
cholera itself. In fact if it is under
stood that person has consumption
the relatives and friends OF the poor un-
fortunate give up all hope. The doc
tors and nurses devote all their efforts
not 50 much 70 cxpel the disease AZ to
prolong the life OF the patient. All
work on the idea that the ultimate ont
come OF the disease is death. Statist-
les show that 1900 persons die from
this disease in the United States every
year.
This enormous loss OF life could in a
large degree be prevented by rigid
quarantine. 1t is universally conceded
that consumption is the eating away OF
the tissues Of the body by voraciOu-
variety OF bacilli Then if the disea-e
is caused by bacilli, those bacilli may
be transmitted from one person to Al
other, thus constituting contagious
| CONTAGIOUS diseases, when Of an espe
cially violent nature, are subject toquar
antine. Consumption is probably tn
most fatal of all diseases.
Why is there not a rigid quarantine
against consumption a. there is agains
cholera or yellow fever?
Consumption is transmitted from on
person TO another in two ways ], b.
herediiy .. by contagion. The fir
can be gotten rid Of by prohibiting tn
marriage Of consumptives. The secon
can he obvated by strict quarantin
Of consurnptive-.
Both these will be opposed BY sent
ment. Sentiment would kiss The p'
trid lips Of small pox and clasp the LEI
er in the arms Of love. But the matte
must he viewed from the stand point
e common sense. The welfare of II
whole j. greater than the welfare oi an
| part The good OF humanity detnah'
a rigid quarantine against the con-u "
tive.

Shelley's Women Friends.

Mr.. Graham'S second paper in
the Nineteenth Century on his
recollections of Jane Clermont,
Mary Shelley's half-sister, has this
report ola talk with her:
"All you ladies'" | remarked,
"Seem to have formed a kind OF
adoring circle around Shelley"
eyes" she said. shelley had an
irresistible attraction for all
women; his nature was so pure
and noble the tone Of his poetry
whenever a woman is mentioned
is OF an almost unearthly purity.
Instead of holding with Byron that
woman is inferior to man, he look
ed up to woman as something
higher and nobler. Many of his
poems express this feeling most
fOrcibly.
The desire of the Moth for the Star.
The desire of the night for the morrow
The devotion to something afar.
81 can imagine Shelley" | said
"almost like a pretty girl himself
| am sure that poetical epistle to
Maria Osborne is most ladylike.'
She replied Indignantly, "Not at
all ; there was no lack of manliness
about Shelley. He was utterly
without any sense of fear; always
in the open air, yachting, or taking
strong physical eXertion. He was
the finest walker of any man of the
Byron-Shelley clique, and could
tire out almost any of the Others
