PARsoN cARTWRIGHT'S WoolNG.
It Began at Dance Which He Turned
 Into Q Prayer Meeting.

It Began at n Dance Which He Turned
 Into Prayer Meeting.
 McKendree college, ut Lebanon, has been presented with an interesting relic in tho shape of pair of saddlcbags, in which tho famous itinerant preacher, Peter Cart wright, carried his Bible and hymnbook in his horseback travels in southern Hi nois.
 Parson Cartwright was well known character in early days, and his pulpit elo- quenco is still recalled by people who lived in southern Illinois 50 years ago. His olo- quence swayed multitudes of people at tho old time camp meetings in Egypt. When thoroughly aroused by interruptions and abuse, the parson became averitablo giant in strength. Ho would spring upon tho bully like tiger aRd give him thrashing that was never forgotten. After tho bully was whipped the pugilistic preacher would suddenly change into ministering angel of mercy and dress tho wounds of his vio- tim. He would then offer up devout prayer for tho salvation of the mans S soul, and if he did not make convert, which he usually did, he effectually disposed of disturber.
 A romantic story of Peter Cartwright is related in connection with his early days as preacher When a boy in his teens, ono night he stopped at a country house in southern Illinois for the night. Tho old fashioned farmhouse was prepared for country dance. By the time young Cart wright had eaten his supper tho largest room had been cleared for dancing
 The pretty black eyed daughter of the host walked straight up to tho young stranger and asked him to lead in tho dance Tho remarkable beauty and win ming manners of the farmor's daughter for the moment mystifled tho youthful par son, and he allowed himself to be led to the center of the room. Before the 'set" was complete, however, tho parson had time to collect himself,
 When the musicians commenced to tuno their flddlcs, the parson dropped upon his knees and commenced to pray. There was mirth at first, but before it was closed there were tears in tho eyes of those who bad at first felt inclined to laugh. Tho re- suit was that tho proposed danco was turned into a revival meeting, and many of those present professed religion then and there. The farmers pretty daughter, who chose the parson for her partner in tho dance that night, afterward consented to be his partner in the journey of life.- Chicago Tribune.

The committee came upon in nvitation of the association.
 Mr. Collier, Elitor Cabiness of the At lanta Journal aud Ex-Governor Bullock of the committee addressed the meeting in behali of the exposition appropriation. The gentlemen argued that suitable ex- hibit from Alnbam was desirable, not be- cause Atlanta or the exposition company needed it 10 make the fair a success, but because Alabama needed it and could not afford to do without it.
 Their arguments were convincing enough to prom pt the unanimous passage of reg. oIution calling upon the legislature to ap. propriate sufficient sum to enable Ala bama tu make the most creditable exhibit of any other state at the proposed exposi- ton. The resolutions also recon mended that the other commercial clubs of the state take similar action.

AYoung Mans Clothes.

I beliey a young man sl ould dress as well as 4means allow, no better, but no worse, wri les Edward w. Box in Ladies' Home JouApal Money spent on neat appearance hs never wasted with man, be he young or old. The danger in younA mans clothes is a tendency toward extravaganza. This is never justidable, no matter what may be the income of q young man. Extravaganza is always wasteful. Butneithcr must he economize too closely. We may like it or not. but we arc judged in this world first for what we are, but also as we look, and young mans sense should teach him that it is all ways wise to create good impression.
 Good clothes cannot make young man, but they aro a help. A well dressed young man docs not necessarily imply that he should wear tho highest priced clothes, cut in tho very latest styles. It is just as pos sible to bo we'll attired in clothes of mod crate cost, so long as they are not "loud' nor "showy,' but quiet and neat. The best dresscrs among men follow the same method as do the best drcssers among women. They do it quietly, but well.

James Anthony Froudo caIno on the stage of life at tho period of transition, and being unable to adjust himself to ei- ther of tho contendng currents of thought at Oxford he went off on his own lines, or rather upon lines that Carlyle suggested to him, and never got his attitude very clearly adjusted to the end of his long life.
 This was the cause of his Limitations as a historian. Ho was quite off with the old methods and not quite on with the new The older historian was avowedly partisan. The modern historian means to be scientific and impartial. Froude was not scientific nor careful for exactness of statement, but while he profcsscd indiffer- entism his beat was really polemical, and though it was never quite certain what point of view he would assume he gener- ally assumed it first and wrote to sustain it.
 But ho was q modern historian in this that he wrote with literary charm and made history interesting. In this respect at least he was a leader. And he had one extraordinary talent-he was brilliant biographer. His portraits may not always be true, but they arc always strong and vivid and full of life the work of a great literary artist.-Philadelph Times.

The snow plant, which blooms Q vivid crimson in California, Is parasite on the roots of the pine tree and is obtained by digging little way into the soil after the snow has melted. The flower is in size and structure much like that of medium sized pineapple and loses its beauty imme- diately after removal from the sod. great variety of pine trees, as well as those of the cedar, madrone and manzanita, are found in California forests, and there are to be seen the strange tree tendrils of the white pine, which project along the body of tho tree from its base to its topmost branches, assuming diverse and fantastic forms, and clothed with a brilliant golden moss These trec tendrils remind one in every particular, save that of their gigan- tic size of coral formations and seem apt ly 10 deserve tho namc of moss coral as they croop their brilliant armlets toward tho earth, apparently recognizing an affin- ity with thu coral creations of the deep.- Philadelphia Ledger.

It is of Roman origin, per- haps of the period of Augustus An in scription on the bottom of the vessel indi- cates that its weight nearly corresponds to two pounds troy of the modern scale.

MOTHERS OF GIRLS. Too Rapid Growth or Too Ab-
 sorbing Study Causes That Waxy, Bloodless Look of Failing Health. Try Paine's Celery Compound for
 Few Weeks. The Daughters Health Will Soon
 Return, Languor Will D sappear and Nervousness Go.
Languor Will D Sappear and
 Nervousness Go.

Mothers with daughters that are yet young often ask themselves:
 ''How can my girls be saved from nerv- ousness and lifelong weakness?'
 1t falls to he mother with her clear, thoughtful eyes. to see that the health and future happiness of her daughters is not crihced 10 excessive study, or to any un- reasonable excitement. The signs of fail ing health and weakness-pale cheeks, languid behavior, colorless lips, growing thinness, irrifability-all these ring alarm in her mind, for they point, each with it's separate finger, to but one cause-thin, watery blood and an already impaired nervous system.
 Parents should begin at the first symp. tom of such tendency to change this nn- fortunate habit of the body. The real nerve food, Paine's celery compound, if used with the attention to regularity that any able physician's prescrip- tion equires-(this remarkably effective blood maker and nerve food is the formula of no less eminent scientist than Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., of the Dartmouth Medical scnooD, if taken as Professor PhelIs urgently advises, is sure to cause forthwith a clearly observed change in the tired, badly nourished body.
 A single week will show that the "run- down' system is appropriating more of the food that is taken into the body and rapidly building up the weakened parts. Languor will disappear; the spirits will be raised; the nervous affections: dyspepsia, neuralgia and depression that went with the former exhausted condition will no longer aff,ct the nerves.
 For overwrought, worried parents; for thin, pale children; for the aged, who are most apt 10 be fiji lcted with rheumatism and sleepessness, and for any who lack strength there is nothing that progressive physicians rely on so invariably as Paine's celery compound. It makes new blood. It stores the nervous tis- sues all over the body with fresh material. It builds up the brain. It cleanses every bit of harmful humor from the blood and sends it briskly through the arteries laden with food for the deepest, most vital tis- sues.
 There's returning health and an active, fulfilled state Of the body in Paine's celery compound.
