The Dangers Of Lap Dogs.

The death of Mile. Santasiero, OF
Paris, is reported. She was the
daughter of the former chef of Queen
Isabella, who keeps a well-known res
taurant in Paris. The young lady was
only twenty years of age, and had g
bull terrier named Bob, of whom she
was very fond. Two months ago Bot
became i'll. His mistress nursed
him and layished caresses on him. He
showed his gratitude by licking her
hands and face. One day he ran away
from her and howled if she went near
him and attempted to bite her foot,
Mile. Santasiero became i'll; fever
supervened, and then commissions.
For two days her convulsive state was
dreadful The third day she was
quiet until toward the end, when con.
gestion superyened and she died. No
trace Of any bite was found on any
part of her body, but the doctors
think that the dogs saliva must have
been absorbed as he licked her face.

No Middle Ground.

The drink traffic paralyzes every political,
social, moral and religious condition which
tolerates it. We cannot compromise with
this evil. There is no middle ground. It's
presence Is death. For the Government to
legalize, sanction, or protect 1t Is to form n
league with hell and destruction. rhe
traffic should be destroyed and as first
step the Government, both national and
State, should dissolve its partnership in
the business and cast 1t adrift, without pro-
lection. Then outlaw 1t as public enemy,
the legitimate prey for destruction. Be-
hold the ravages of the flend as 1t sweeps
over the land, consuming thousands of
souls annually, causing desolation, despair
and death to millions. We hear the lamen-
tations of mothers and wives, the cry of
hungry children. The demons howl in the
rum caverns Of death. See the grim gal
lows strangllng their victimsl Thousands
OF young men, the flower of the land, de-
stroyed by the hideous traffic. How shall
this tide of destruction be stayed? Who
will accept the commission of the modern
prophets, and cry out from the watch
towers Of the land, "0h, turn We, oh, turn
ye; for why will ye die of strong drink, o

Alcohol is not a gift of God, but the
DEVILS most powerful agent for destroying
Gods image in man.
Where Satan does not go he sends his
agent-drink.
The sparkle in the wine is made by one Of
Satans sharpest teeth.
Appetite for drink is the DEVILS iron chain
around the drunkards neck.
Moral .uasion backed by legal suasion Is
the power Of God In legislation TO save the
state.
Drink, like death, makes all men equal
The most brilliant scientist and scholar is
one with the drunken beggar when the

him.
The total abstinence pledge does not take
away mans personal liberty. If you lock

directed against the burglar, not against

The SALOONS in Winter.

As the winter approaches, the temper
ance societies all over the country should
not cease to prosecute their work with
ylgor and earnestness. The temptation to
drink is perhaps more allurlng and fatal in
the winter season than when the weather
is fine, and outdoor exercise an inviting
possibility. The warmth and light and
genial companionship of the saloons exert
a very powerful influence in drawing young
men into them. 1t should be the aim of
temperance society to provide for the So
cial side OF mans nature. 1t is well to
have high ideals; but harmless amusement,
and lots Of It, Is needed IL we would save
the boys from the sin of drunkenness and
all its attendant eyils.-Sacred Heart Re-

The Peanut as an Article of Commerce

The Peanut as an Article of Commerce.
The demand for concentrated and
condensed foods has led to very care
full and scientific study of the peanut
and its possibilities. Peanut meal and
peanut grits are richer in nitrogen than
almost any of the other vegetable seeds
known. Peanut oil has become
staple article of commerce, and the
manufacture of it is engaging a large
amount of skilled labor and q great
deal of valuable machinery, some of
which has been made or arranged ex-
pressly for this purpose. Peanut oil
is of a delicate amber tint and has
very agreeable taste and odor. 1t re-
quires but slight refining process,
and once freed from the fret acid
which the raw oil contains, keeps well,
indeed better than ordinary olive oil.
Another seed that is attracting con-
siderable attention as a commercial
product is that of the sunfower. Sun
flower seed oil is one of the most de-
licious productions of nature. The
oil is comparatively unknown, but as
soon as the public learns its value'it is
bound to become popular, not only
for its delicious flavor, but it is said
to keep better than any other oil. An
objection to its use by certain tempera-
ments is that it is extremely fattening.
Sunhower seeds have long been a deli
cacy in Russia. They are eaten either
raw or roasted like popcorn. Confec-
tions are also made of them and lat.
terly they have been extensively used
for oil by cold pressure. An eminent
scientist predicts that the sunhower
crop at no distant day will receive
quite as much attention as is now be.

Professor Gushing has just made an
examination of the Pine Island Keys,
in Florida, and discovered the remains
of villages and numerous relics Of an-

ties are still unknown. Judging from
their steel and copper implements or
weapons, their pottery, masks and
modes of sculpture, they appear to be
akin to the ancient Mexican people.

Pare the potatoes with sharp vege.
table knife, just as thin as possible,
for that part of the tuber lying close to
the skin is richest in mineral salts, and
put each potato as peeled into a pan
of cold water to prevent discoloration.
Have ready, meanwhile, kettle of
boiling water, aud when the peeling
process is complete take the potatoes
from the cold water, and covering
them with boiling salted water, set
them on the range, covered, to boil.
Twenty minutes will usually suffice,
but to test them use a skewer or fork,
and when they can be pierced easily
remove at once from the fire, pour off
all the water, and set them on the back
of the range, uncovered, to steam dry,
assisting that process occasionally by
a slight shaking of the kettle.
II one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked in boiling
water, try the following experiment
for proof: Take two cups, in each of
which has been put teaspoonful of
ordinary starch. Pour over one q
quarter of cupful Of boiling water,
aud over the other the same quantity
of cold water, and observe the result.
The one over which the boiling water
was poured stays in shape, compact
mass, while the one with the cold
water dissolves into a soft paste. The
potato is largely composed of starch,
and from this trial any one may draw
his own conclusions. If you wish a
pulpy, watery potato, use cold water,
but if dry, mealy, snowy ball that
would delight the heart of Epicurus
himself, always use boiling water

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

The Present Media bishops Opinion on
the Temperance observation-disclosures
of Total Abstinence Have the Respect
OF All Claases-Evlls of Drunkenness.
At recent meeting Of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union OF Philadelphia, Bishop
Prendergast made an address to the dele
gates, In which he said:
I'VE have active members, honorary
members, and what might be called SYM
pathetic members. For some reason, hard
for you to understand, these will not work
and give their names to your cause. This
may be inconsistent, and we may say that
they are not doing all they could do, but
one OF the best effects OF the work of the
total obstinence societies Is the change
they have brought about in public opinion
regarding the use OF Intoxicating liquor.
ut used to be an evidepce OF crankiness
for one to be total abstainer. Now you
have the respect and sympathy OF all
classes. / would remind you TINT the
fathers OF the Council Of Baltimore, In urg-
ing upon Catholics to unite in extlrpating
the pestiferous evil Of drunkenness, urged
priests and people to do so for love of re-
ligion and for love OF country, two Of the
highest motives to be proposed to any
right-minded man or woman. Drunken
ness not only destroys religion in its VIC
tim, but brings disgrace on religion itself
II was one Of the objections In the past
(and, unfortunately, there Is some OF 1t
left) urged against Catholics. II is an evil
against the country. It destroys the citi-
zen and the family For love df religion
and for love Of country the Council of Bal
timore urges priests and people to unite In
extirpating this evil"
The Bishop insisted that the ruling mo-
tive for work must be supernatural-the
salvation Of souls. The material good re-
sulting from total abstinence was not to be
despised, but the chief aim should be to
preserve souls from sin. He spoke Of the
great good that may be accomplished by
extra endeavor in the enrolment of juve-
niles, and assured his hearers that he
would continue, when giving confirmation,
to advise and urge the children to join the
temperance societies in their parishes.

Go to the insane asylums, poorhouses,
prisons, orphanages, aud ask what brought
the inmates there. Many, alas, too many,
will tell you that 1t was drink. Men and
women endowed with the noblest gifts,
capable of doing much good, are burdens
to themselves, their families, and the COM
munity. Some have lost the use Of their
minds, others their property, others have
broken up their families or condemned
them to life of misery and shame; all
Of them are damning their immortal souls.

(and, curiously enough, there are just as
many saloons as churches-200) are under
rigid oversight, and are closed every night
at IL O'Clock and all day Sunday. The
streets are clean-a fact which is not with
out its bearing upon clean morals, and
there is an utter absence of drunkenness

A seIr.supportIng southern Farmer.

Greenville County has one farmer

never bought Western wheat and
Western flour. There is little that
this farmer aud his family consume
that is not raised at home. Not even
does his table rice come from George
town or Beaufort. 1t is a Greenville
County product and it is said the low
country rice is not superior to it. This
gentleman makes his own sirup. He
raises his own oats and barley aud he
produces a large number of bales of
cotton. The horses and mules that lie
works are native to his farm He has
been known to saw timber from his
own forest and send it to a factory,
getting a part Of it back in the form of
furniture. This farmer is not a great
politician. He reads the newspapers
carefully. He is not poor. He is not
dependent But he is very busy
man. He is so busy that he rarely
has a day to spend away from his own
large plantation or plantations. Heis
on his farm with the regularity that a
cashier is at his desk in a bank and as
many days in the year aud as many
hours in the day. There are farmers
who are able to indulge in more leis-
ure than is this Greenville farmer, but
in other respects they are poorer than
he is.-Greenville Is. c. News.
