THE GIRL AND HER VACATION,

Before any girl determines upon outside
training for outside work would she not do
we'll to weigh and measure strictly her
capacity, opportunity, need, and be rea-
lively sure of all?" inquiries Mrs. A. T. d.
Whitney in September Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Are you capable, in any remarked
and special degree, for one particular pur-
suit and use? 1t is right and feasible, in
the apparent providential ordering, that
you should toke time and money to fit and
equip yourself for it, and then can you
reasonably expect chance and scope to do
your chosen errand? Is there need of others
to meet, need Of your own to supply? An.
swers truly. Do not resolve to be this or
that because you think it a pretty thing to
be, or because someone else has succeeded in
1T. 1t may have been her work, and yet
not be yours. A young girl once wrote me:
1 have set my heart on being an authoress.
Ii can not be one my life will be fail
ure.' Her letter, and the specimens of
authorship enclosed, were themselves argu-
mcnt for, at least, very patient study and
ractice. She needed, also, to live longer
and deeper before she would find true
message to deliver. 1 told her SO, in the
solicited answer. 1 told them so; for this
was only one appeal Of many. II
10 you Others, who only have little more
time than money, and would like some
thing to busy you and help fill your porte
monnaie, there are different things to say.
Compare your need with that of others be-
fore you take up occupation that may be
their livelihood. To intrude into crowded
rank of workers only to add pleasure or
an elegance to your comforts would be ex
tremest fracture of the eighth command
ment. Forbearance from this might leave
many chance open to real necessity which
now is barred, or neuttalized by cheapen-
ing competition. Make conscience of this,
AS you would make conscience against rob-
berry direct"

1t is always best to avoid controversy

cure. The effects of such disorders are not
limited to mere local discomforts but ex-
tend over the whole body. Perhaps the
nerves are NEST affected, and this in turn
disturbs the digestion. After that there is
no telling what form the trouble may take.
With irritable nerves and poor digestion,
woman is on the straight road to the grave.
Women are VIGOROUSLY negligent in mat
ters pertaining to their health. Too many
of them understand too little about their
own physical makeup. They do not I'm
derstand their possibilities or their limita-
tons, and they do not know enough about
themselves to know when n symptom is
really serious and when it is not This nat
urally makes them overlook the plainest
of danger signals. The start of everything
is simple. The start of so-called female
complaints " may be very slight thing in
deed. 1t may be that in the beginning
some small hygienic measures would stop
the trouble. Certainly at this time, little
bit of the right medicine would stop it.
When the trouble becomes worse, it is
harder to cure, but still it can be cured.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will posi-
lively cure any trouble of this character.
1t may be absolutely relied upon. 1t affords
immediate and lasting relief to a woman
whose natural modesty has kept her from
consulting physicians.
The whole story of the "Favorite Pre-
scriptor,'' and what it has done for thou
sands of women is told in DR.. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser. This
is 1908 page book, profusely illustrated,
written in plain language for the use of
everyday people, and gives in clear and
lucid way an immense amount of valuable
information about health and medicine. 1t

descent I soon lost all further knowl-
edge by a conclusion 30 violent that [

The traveller paused. His features
worked for a minute or two as they
did when we were on the mountain !;
he passed his hands across his forehead
as if in pain, and then resumed his
thrilling narrative.
"On a low couch in an humble room
of a small country house, | next open

kindly tended by a fair young girl Of
about Is, who refused for a while to
hold any discourse with me. At
length, one morning, finding myself
sufficiently recovered to sit up, | in
sisted on knowing the result of the
accident,
"'You were discovered" she said,
Sitting on ledge of rocks, amidst the
branches of a shattered tree, clinging
to the roof of your broken coach with
ore hand, and the insensible form of
a lady with the other
"'And the lady! I~grasped, scanning
the girls face with an earnestness that
made her draw back and blush.
"'She was saved, sir, by the means
that saved you-a friendly tree

impatiently demanded.
"'We found both crushed to death
at the bottom of the precipice, and we
buried them in n grave by the clover
patch down in our meadow
"'Poor Louise poor orphan God
pity you 7 I muttered, in broken tones,
utterly unconscious that I had a
listener.
"'God pity her, indeed, sir, she
said with gush of heartfelt sympathy.
Would you like to see her ? she added.
II found her bathed in tears for her
kindred, and she received me with
s~orrowful sweetness of manner. l
need not detain you by describing the
efforts I made to soothe her grief, but
briefly acquaint you that at the last 1
succeeded, and IL months after the
dreadful occurrence which [ have re-
lated, we stood at the altar as man and
wife. She still lives to bless ME with
her smiles, but on the anniversary of
that terrible night she secludes her
self in her room, and devotes the
hours Of darkness to solitary prayer.
Gas for me-" added the traveller,
while a faint blush tinged his noble
brow, "as for me, that accident has
reduced me to the condition of a
physical coward at the sight of a
mountain precipice."
sBut the driver" asked the lady
passenger, who had listened to the
story with much attention, "what be-
came of the driver, and did you yer

ellis body was found on the road,

And thus ended the thrilling and
remarkable story Of life.

Taxes on Liquors.

There are few Governments, notwitE-
standing the objections urged in some
countries to the Justice, desirability, or
ever the abstract morality Of such a tax,
which do not derive a large share of their
revenue from taxes imposed upon liquor
making, liquor selling or liquor drinking.
The highest statistical authority puts the
present annual revenue Of all Govern
ments from liquor taxes of all sorts at
81, 900, 900, 900. These are imposed in
various waYs-tax on production, tax on
expectation, o tax or sale or excise tax,
q tax ON importation and a tax on storage
or bonded tax.
By these various methods Great Britain
raises In a year $3.50, OOO, 900 from taxes on
liquor, Russia nearly as much, the United
States a little more, France 500. 0OO, 900 a
wear, Germany $3.50 900 and Holland, q
small country, but one having extensive
liquor interests, $l5,OO0,OO0. The total
revenu in the United States from liquor
is usually given at 5000, 0OO, 900 q year, but
this sum is probably below rather than
above the correct figures. The United
States Government received In 1884,
through the internal revenue bureau,
from taxes on spirits and from distillers
and retail liquor dealers, S79,962,627, e1-
elusive of $50, 000, 900 collected from the
manufacture of alea, beer and porter and
brewers and retail dealers. These two
items make collectively S110.0 600, 900, but
constitute only a fraction Of the Govern
ment's revenue from liquor and spirits.
for there were in addition to customs
duties imposed upon foreign spirits i'm
ported into the United States, amounting
to between 81, 900 900 and $5,OOO.O 900:
Then there were the excise taxes imposed
in the several localities, and these local
taxes exceed in a year $4,000 900, though
there is no definite and positive way Of
giving the figures in detail, as the rate as
we'll as the number of such licenses varies
from time to time. One fact may be
stated without apprehension OF error, and
that is that the public revenue from this

Sixty.six Sick Orphans.

To the Editor ofthe Mews and Courier:
The Thornwell Orphanage, located
in Clinton, S. c., has passed through
a severe experience. About one-half
of its family of one hundred and forty
persons, was taken with the measles,
in a very severe form. The little peo-
pie were very sick, and for a number
we were quite anxious, but unremit-
ting attention was given them, the
officers exhibiting most commendable
degree ~of.loving interest in the sick.
The institution has an inirmary, a
beautiful granite dwelling, well ap-
pointed in every particular. 1t is
presided over by Miss Genie Fraser,
q sister Of Judge F%raser's. Her at
t%ention and labors were beyond all
praise. The infrmary could only
accommodate twenty-four at one time,
so that there was an overflow. The
sick boys were beautifully and lovingly
cared for by Misses Simonton and
Sloan, and some Of the sick girls by
Misses Crockett and Warren.
We are grateful to report, which we
do for the benefit of friends Of the
children, that all are on their feet
again with sharpened appetites.
The expenses of this month of sick
nsss was heavy. Kind friends
Throughout the State can greatly aid
the institution by collecting and
forwarding funds and provisions.
Not long ago the village Of Clinton
contributed. twelve barrels of -four,
enough for a month a town in West
Virginia did the same this was fol-
lowed by Greenwood, S. c., with a
similar gift. Nine more such towns
would carry us through 1896.
Gifts can be sent to the president,

Mr.. M. M Madison, Mgr. Mutual Ben
eft Life Insurance Co., Anderson, S. c.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of re.
cent date, asking my estimate of the value
of q policy contract in the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co., of Newark, N. j., I
would say that my attention was called to
the advantages of owning q policy in this
Company about sever years ago by a
friend of mine who was receiving % per
cent dividend annually on a new policy,
when I was only getting about 10 per cent
on my policy of $4,000 in the Equitable
Life and about II per cent on my $4,000
policy in the New York Life. His con.
tract and mine In these Companies being
about the same age. I gave up these poll.
ciea in the Equitable and New York Life
and took out two policies of $1,000 each In
the Mutual Benefit Life and the smallest
dividend they have paid me was 20 per
cent. I carry $4,000 besides this in other
Companies, but I regard the advantages
offered by the Mutual Benefit superior to
any contract I have ever examined, espe
cially the guaranteed face value, the 80
per cent loan plan, the reputation for
economical management, the liberal ex.
tension features and the large dividends
they have credited me with for the past
six years. I would not hesitate to recon
mend 1t to any n desiring reliable life
insurance for the smallest cash outlay.
Sincerely yours,

New York city pays at the present
time, for excise licenses OF all sorts, 81
ZOO, 900, exclusive of the amount collected
in districts for the benefit of the United
States Government. Even before the
present era of extreme high license in
Massachusetts cities. the gross excise
revenue of that State was $2,500,OO and
l~ections from liquor licenses in a year
amount to nearly 5000, 900, or about 10
per cent of the local excise tax of the
country, which is $50, 600, 900.
The three items-internal revenue tax,
customs tax on imported liquors and
local excise tax-do not exhaust the
sources of public revenue from the liquor
traffic, for, in addition, there is imposed
in every locality a real estate tax on the
property of brewers and distillers, and
this additional item added to the others
makes undoubtedly the total in excess Of
5000, 600, 900. It is q somewhat peculiar
fact, which some temperance agitators do
| not seem to be DESTROYS oftaEing serious
" into account, that in Italy, where wine
is produced with the least effort and
seems to be most extensively drunk, the
Government revenue from the liquor
trade is not high, amounting to only
$50, 900, 900 for the entire kingdom, and in
Spain, also a wine producing and wine
consuming country, with a population of
about half that of Italy, the revenue from
| excise taxes is about S35, 600, 900 a year.
In Sweden the excise tax is very heavy.
In the State of Iowa recently a tax on
drinkers has been contrived.-NeW York

Says the New Orleans Picayune:
'The rain. making experiments conducted
by the government were only partially
successful. Sometimes it rained, and
sometimes it did not, and, even when q
modest shower was produced, it was at
such an enormous expenditure of ex-
plosives that it would have been cheaper
to have kept the drought. Inventors are
still working on the artificial rain prob
lem, however, and q Kansas man has
patented a device by which he expects to
produce rain at will at the Insignificant
price Of So per shower. His apparatus is
q specially constructed gun, fourteen feet
long, weighs 400 pounds, when loaded
with the requisite material, discharges q
moisture-producing substance to a height
ofeighteen miles. This invention renders

matter of rains. It has often been noticed
that it always rains on ladies' day at the
races, and that a Sunday school picnic
can generally be relied On to break up a
drought. Now, when men get to running
the rain, they will arrange to only have
it ruin at nights, or to break up the OPP
