God does not hate evil men. He
hates the evil III 1T is destroying men.
[ can not conceive Christ standing in
thu midst of this city and favOring one
of the evils of the city, and failing to
aid one of its good. Every thing good
in it would receive his blessing.
Everything evil III it would receive
his rebuke. And | can not conceive
how God can look over this world of
ours and have his sympathies bound
to any one spot in it-looking out for
the home life, the home congregation,
the home city, the home nation. I
believe that if he were here, living
wholly and fully and completely in
our American life, that the Indian, the
negro, and the graded ones of our
cities would all come into his sympa-
thies, into his h Up and receive his
benediction.

John Sanderson, a wealthy mer-
chant of MELVILLE, Sc, died recently,
leaving his entire estate to his wife.
Philip Shoemaker, a nephew, was cut
off without a cent, which bitterly dis
appointed him, as he had confidently
expected to be richly remembered.
His share of the entire estate was a
cigar-only this and nothing more.
The will was probated and the nephew
was formally presented with the
cigar named in the will, which he &C
copied as a matter of course. 1t was
unusually large and very fat. During
the proceedings he lighted the cigar,
as he said, to get something out of
the old man. After it had burned
about half a minute an object fell
from the end or the cigar and rolled
under a table. 1t was fished out then,
and TO everyone's astonishment,
proved to be a splendid diamond ring.
Shoemaker hastily investigated
the rest of the not over fragrant
Havana and found that the inside of
the cigar was literally packed tight
with loose precious stones. The col
lection, when summed up was found
to be worth fully ten thousand dol
lars.

THE TRIALS OF A TEACHER.

The school teacher is very poorly
paid for his wearisome work of i'm
parting wisdom to his pupils, if many
of his pupils are like the one describ
ed in the following dialogue. The
boy found it difficult to understand
simple arithmetic.
Teacher Suppose, Fritz, you have
a stocking on one foot and you put
another stocking on the other foot,
how many would you have on both
feet?n
Boy-''I never wear no stockings"
Suppose your father has one pig
in pen, and he buys another pig and
puts it in the pen, how many pigs
will there be in the pen?''
dad don't keep no pigs"
The teacher blew a heavy sigh from
his tired lips, wiped the perspiration
from his scholastic brow and went at
it again with renewed courage:
Suppose you have one jacket, and
at Christmas your father makes you a
present of another jacket, how many
Jackets will you have them"
''He amt that kind of father. He
never gives nothin' on Christmas"
Suppose your mother gives you
one apple, and you have one already,
what will you have them"
"Stomach ache. Our apples are
cookin' apples"
The teacher was not the man to be
discouraged by trifies. He began to
suspect that the boy was not well up
in arithmetic, but he resolved to make
one more effort, so he said:
eff a poor, little beggar boy has
cake, and you give him one more,
how many will he have?"
81 dunno, [ eat my own cakes"
Then the teacher told the children
to go out and play.-Terds S9tings.

THERE WERE TWO or THEM

1t was shortly after my admission to
the bar that gave my hand in mar
riage TO my present wife, writes Ed
gar Nye ('Bill Nye") in the fourth ar
ticle of the series 'eThe Woman Who
Most Influenced Me-" in the August
Ladies' Home Journal Before that
had only meagre confidence in my
own ability. l had grave doubts
about amounting to much, and my
lack of confidence in myself was shar-
ed by my tailor.
But the right sort of wife gives a
man feeling of self reliance that he
cannot get elsewhere. He finds for
the first time that he has an audience.
Friends heretofore may have nattered
him, out he fears that il is hattery,
while his enemy, he feels, has been
unjustly severe. His wife generally
shows a feeling of confidence and se-
curity in him which is a revelation. At
first he is surprised and then he re-
solves to deserve that confidence IL
IT is very difficult in a publication
which goes into nearly every home In
America to snow ones wife COM
pletely under with encomiums, thus
using up the space which some other
man wants to use for hi own private
encomiums, but in order TO fully and
honestly answer the question put TO
me must state over my own sigma
ture that my early industry and am
bition were stimulated by the never
tagging faith of my mother, and the
still more deadly combat later on
turned in my favor through The loyal
ty and confidence shown by my wife,
who alone knows through what trials
she has helped me.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Tt seems strange that women who
do not fancy work often do fancy
work.
There are lots of folks VINO have an
aversion for ghosts, but those who
like spirits are in the majority.
It is a we'll known fact that oil and
water will not mix. If this were only
true of milk and water how happy We
would be.
Everything goes at a rapid pace
these days. Even the makers of
stockings boldly assert that the colors
are fast.
A slipper used judiciously will often
make dull child smart.
A man who tries to reform his life
on the installment plan generally gets
behind in his payments.
A dentist may be jolly good fell
low, but he has way Of looking down
in the mouth that is contradictory.
A photographer has a way Of TAX
ing things that would not be tolerated
in any other line Of business.
A musician never knows how much
his efforts are not appreciated until
the folks in the next fat complain to
the janitor.
There is no easier way in the world
for one to lose a good name than to
have it engraved on the handle of an
umbrella.
When men are taken to prison they
are treated like clothes in a laundry
they are washed and then ironed.
There are some things that dwarf
can not do, but when it comes to tax
ing cold he can catch one as big as a
giants.
The law permits a man to use his
wife's name to rob his creditors. vet
it is argued by some that marriage is a
failure.
Tell man he is level headed and
he will feel fiattered; but tell him he
is fat-headed and he will hit you with
acl ub.

A few years ago, while on visit to
Columbia, a New Orleans man saw
and admired water hyacintE. He
brought some bulbs home, and grew
them in tubs in his front yard. In
about two years patches of the flower
appeared in the Bayou ST. John, which
connects New Orleans with Lake
POnchartrain. In another year the
bayou was full of it, SO that naviga-
ton was impeded. Now all the canals
near New Orleans are overrun and
covered up with the invading flower.
Great masses of it are floating in the
lake, rivers running into the lake are
choked with it, and it has travelled
a hundred miles to the westward of
New Orleans. 1t grows enormously,
spreads like rabbits in Australia,
chokes all the bayous and streams it
gets into, and is tremendous nuis-
ance. In Columbia it is harmless,
Towering plant that grows in tubs;
but in Louisiana the conditions suit it,
and have developed it into the most
fourishing and obstinate pest.

A London newspaper some years
ago contained an account of strange
sort of contest which two noble men
once got up for their own amusement.
1t consisted of matching a flock of
turkeys and a flock of geese for
race on the London and Norwich road
in the middle of the last century The
turkeys would insist upon flying up
to the roadside trees to roost; while
the geese, keeping up steady wad-
die all night, reached London from
Norwich two days ahead. The same
journal also mentions the feat of Hon.
Tom Coventry's sprinting pig. In
1903 this speedy animal was matched
against a celebrated runner, and
started a strong favorite on the day
of the race, which she won with ease.

PRESERVED GRAPE DALNTTES.

CANNED GRAPES Wash and pulp
the grapes, dropping the pulp into
one dish and the skins into another
Stew and pulp until soft, then slit
thro' colander which will retain the
seeds. Put the pulp and skins togeth-
er, and allow one pound of sugar TO
each four pounds of the fruit. Put
over the fire in preserving kettle,
bring to boil, can and seal. Canned
in this way, grapes will be found good
for either sauce or pies.
SPICED GRAPES. = Five pounds of
grapes, four pounds of brown sugar,
a pint of vinegar, a Tablespoonful
each of cloves and allspice, and lit
tie pepper. Put all together and cook
slowly for three or four hours.
PICKED GRAPES Pick fresh grapes
from the stems without breaking, and
put in the jar for seven pounds of the
fruit, quart of vinegar, three pounds
of sugar, tablespoonful each of
whole cloves and cinnamon sticks;
boil the other ingredients together
for few minutes, then cool till the
finger can be borne in the liquid. Pour
this upon the grapes, which are not
to be cooked, put plate over the
mouth of the jar, and set it in cool
place, where it is not to be disturbed
for two or three weeks.
GRAPE PRESERVES. - Wash the
grapes after they are picked from the
stems, and put them over fire with
just water enough to keep them from
scorching to the kettle. Cook very
slowly, and as the seeds escape thro'
the bursting skins they should be
skinned off as they rise to the sur
face, till all have been taken out. Stir
the grapes frequently meantime.
When sure that all the seeds have
been extracted, add pound of sugar
for each pound of the fruit originally
put on, and boil for ten minutes.
Carefully protect from dust and damp
ness, and put away for use.
GRAPE CATsUP. = Boil five pounds
Of grapes and press the pulp through
a cOlander to retain the seeds and un-
softened skins, if any. Add two and
a half pounds of sugar, pint of vine
gar, a tablespoonful each of CHINA
mon, cloves, allspice, and cayenne
pepper, with half the amount of salt.
Boil little more to give the proper
consistency, bottle and seal.
GRAPE CATsUP, No. Boil ten lbs.
of grapes for ten minutes, pressing
the pulp through a colander to retain
the seeds and skins. Add pint of
vinegar, a tablespoonful of cloves, two
tablespoonfuls each of ground allspice
and cinnamon, and a half teaspoonful
of cayenne pepper. Boil until thick
enough, which will require forty five
or sixty minutes, bottle and seal.
