TREATMENT OF ACUTE RHEUMA-
TIsM.-For external applications in
acute articular rheumatism, there are
none more efficacious than mustard
poultices.. The use of these should be
commenced at once, as soon as the
joints become painful. If only a small
number are affected, poultices can be
applied to each simultaneously, or in
succession until all are treated. When
new joints become involved, renewed
applications are demanded in fact, the
disease should be "chased" from one
affected portion to another. The poul-
tices may be applied twice daily, and
after their use the infamed joints
should be wrapped in dry cotton wool,
and then bandaged neatly and lightly
with flannel. Some authors claim
that these covering are useless, but all
who have suffered from the disease can
testify that exposure of the joints,
even to the room, aggravates' the
pain.

and he knew they were Bouton's people
And to the north, moving in the direc-
tion Of his own valley, he saw the sill.
very puffs Of smoke that told fight was
going on in that direction.
The Prophet remounted, and every
foot of the way in front and on each side
was scanned as he galloped in the di.
rection of the conflict Not deer start
ed from the grove nor bird flying by
in rivalry Of his own flight passed unno
ticed
1t was this keen observation that
showed him a number Of Indians dodg-
ing behind the rocks ahead. and led him
above the thunder of his horses hoofs
to distinguish the short, sharp crack of
rifles. The Indians saw him coming,
and with cries of alarm they left their
hiding places and ran down the rocks
Black Eagle leading the advance. The
Prophet reined his horse, brought down
his rife in the same action and fired.
One Of the Indians in retreat threw up
his hands and fell on his face
"a good, brave shot, shouted girl
ish figure behind the Prophet. He wheel
ed and in the act Of reloading his rife

"In pursuit Of me and Henry Kyle. )"
she replied
"And where is Henry Kyle2"
"He is here" 1"

been wicked, but he is not coward, >
said the Prophet, dismounting and lead
ing his horse up to where Kushat stood
on the rocks.
Mot a coward, but too late do
learn that l have been and am wicked
man," said Henry Kyle, coming into
view and standing bowed and abashed
before the Prophet
Ibid not Moses train with the Egyp-
tians, the despoilers Of his people, be-
fore he became the leader Of Israel and
the man who talked with God and
brought down the laws Of the people?
Live not in the past, Henry Kyle. A
long life lies before you in which to
make amends for the sin you have
done"
Henry briefly narrated the events Of
the previous night, including the escape
of his brother Louis and the capture of
Captain Brandon, and he added that he
thought Bouton was making for the val
ley of the Great Spirit Henry con-
tinued:
"Yes, Bouton and his people believe
that you have great stores put away in
the caves, and often they have thought
of attacking and robbing you or forcing
you to give up your secret as to where
the gold has been obtained So far they
have feared you, but now Bouton is
strong, and he has with him many men
who know you only by name, and who
consequently have not the reverence for
you which we have who have long been
dwellers in these mountains. From
Bouton's movements l am certain that
he is leading his force to your valley.
"Let him lead his force to my valley.
and he will lead them to destruction
As my soul liveth, this cannot continue.
Come with me, Henry Kyle, for we
now need every aid. "
The Prophet turned to his horse, but
Henry called to him:
! II cannot 60 with you"

General Earle is 40 years old, having
been born in Greenville, this state
April 80, 1S47. He entered common
school at Sumter, s. c., and from there
in 1864, entered the Confederate army
in Charles's battery light infantry
He served to the end of the war in
Kemper's artillery. At the close Of
the war he entered Furman universe
ty in Greenville, graduating from that
institution in 1867.
General Earle's first work was that
of teacher, he having been elected
principal of high school in Greenville
Immediately after his graduation. He
remained in that. position for two
years, during which time he studied
law, and was admitted to the bar in
1870, passing his examination before
Governor James L. Orr, who was af'
forwards minister to Russia. From
Greenville General Earle moved to
Anderson, where he practiced law un-
til 1875, when he went to Sumter and
in partnership with R. O. Purdy prac,
ticed his profession until four years
ago, when he again returned to Green
vile, the county of his birth.
General Earle has seen a long pub
lie service. He was, in 1878, elected
as Democrat to the state legislature
from Sumter county at time when
there were but few Democrats in that
body. He served in that capacity
until 1880, when he declined re-elec-
ton. In 1882 he was elected to the
state senate, and before his term had
expired in that body was, in 1886,
elected attorney general of South
Carolina. He was reelected in 1888.
In 1890, Captain Benjamin R. Tillman
having been nominated by what was
considered an irregular convention
composed principally Of farmers and
held in March, several months before
the usual time, and Captain Tillman
making serious charges against the
administration to which General Earle
belonged, that officer took the stump
as candidate for governor and met
Tillman in joint debate from the
mountains to the sea. At the conclu-
sion of this campaign Tillman was
elected in the primary, but he publicly
stated that General Earle had won his
respect and that he regretted that
Earle was not candidate for attorney
general on his ticket. Earle subse-
quently deprecated the independent
or straightout fight made against Till
man at the general election under the
leadership of Judge Haskell. He re-
tired to Greenville and resumed the
practice of law. In 1894 Judge Earle,
opposed by one of the most prominent
Reform lawyers in the state, was elect
ed judge of his circuit by the general
assembly, an Office which he still holds.
In 1880 General Earle was sent as a
delegate from South Carolina to the
national convention which nominated
General Hancock for president. In
1884 he was delegate from this state
to the Chicago convention which NOM
mated Cleveland and was the on COM
mittee which notified that gentleman
of his nomination.
1t is worthy of note that in 1888
General Earle, before knowing that
there was any desire that he should
be candidate for governor, told Gov

TABLE NAPKINS.

Curiously enough, that article, nov
considered almost indispensable, the
table napkin, was first used only by
children, and was only adopted by
elder members of the family about the
middle of the Fifteenth century. In
etiquette books of an earlier date thar
this, among other sage pieces of advice
for children, are instructions about
wiping their fingers and lips with theil
napkins.
1t seems that the tablecloth was long
enough to reach the floor, and served
the grown people in place of napkins
When they did begin to use napkins
they placed them first on the shoulder
then on the left arm, and finally tied
them about the neck. A French wri-
ter, who evidently was conservative
and did not welcome the napkin kind
ly, records with scorn:
"The napkin is placed under the
chin and fastened in the back, as II
one were going to be shaved. A per-
son told me that he wore his that way
that he might not soil his beautiful
frills."
1t was a difficult matter to tie the
two corners in the back, and it is said
that thence originated our expression
for Strengthened circumstances-"hard
to make both ends meet" This GUS
tom led to the habit of the table wait
ers of carrying a napkin on the left
arm.
Napkins became popular in France
sooner than in England. At one time
it was customary at great French din
ners to change the napkins at every
course, to perfume them with rose
water, and to have them folded diff
ferent way for each guest.

n8 Rats often desert house before
it falls down, because it is probable
that the settling of the beams and
stones causes noises that, inaudible to
human beings, may be perfectly so,
and very alarming besides, to the ro-
dents. Rats have been known to de-
sert mines shortly before earthquakes
or cavings occurred, probably for the
same reason.
