a@ AS suggested by the recent story
of the woman who was forbidden to
''get religion" in ritualistic Episco-
pal church, pretty good one was
told in similar strain. A so-called
evangelist was holding q series OF
meetings in a certain town, and a
member of the church was much in
terested in them, attending every
meeting, somewhat to the loss of home
comforts by husband and children.
Finally, the old gentleman had his
innings in telling how they had called
on her to lead in prayer. Suddenly
realizing in what an unaccustomed
position she was placed, for among
Episcopalians no one is ever so called
on even the most prominent clergy
man, if seated in the congregation,
taking no other part than the rest of
the people do, the good woman turned
purple with embarrassment, squirmed
about in her seat, choked up, and
finally managed to stammer out that
she was an Episcopalian, and she
meyer prayed!

WATERING BEFORE EAT1NG.-The
popular plan of watering horses before
eating, so customary in France, is upon
hygienic principles favored by the vet
erinarians not only in France, but in
England and in this country. NJ. Gay
OF, French government veterinary and
equine historic writer, favored this
plan, as does also DR.. Fleming, the
eminent Scotch veterinarian, where
running water is not available. Some
will say, "My horse will not drink
before eating," but it should be taught,
and when once accustomed to drink
first, will eagerly look for water on
cold mornings as well as in the warm
weather after the all night rest. A
drink of water refreshes the horse,
improves its appetite and aids diges-
ton but if allowed to eat hearty
feed and then be watered, the diges-
ton is deranged and direct loss of
feed is the result, besides off, collie or
other troubles ensue. Teach horses to
drink before eating.

HIS APPETITE.-"No," said the
philanthropist, firmly, 81 cannot give
you financial assistance. / am opposed
to the principle of indiscriminate aims
giving on the street. But will gladly
give you an order on restaurant for
whatever you may want if you are
hungry"
And he did. A few days later he
visited the restaurant, walked up to
the cashiers window and said: 81
suppose you hold a charge against me
here. I sent a poor fellow to you last
Tuesday, and want to settle his bill"
"Yes, sir" replied the young wo-
man behind the counter, as she rum
maged among some papers, and found
an unpaid check, $40 cents, please"
"Mercy on us!" calculated the phil
anthropist, "that poor fellow must
have been nearly starved. What did
he eat to amount to so much as that ?'
"One gin fizz," she said, "two Man
haitian cocktails, whisky straight
and three beers"

s@ A servant girl was brought to a
hospital suffering from an overdose Of
poison. When questioned as to her
motive for taking it, she replied ~
wasn't feeling we'll, so 1 went to my
mistress's room to get some medicine
from the chest she keeps there. The
bottle I got was marked, Three drops
for an infant, six for an adult and a
tablespoonful for an emetic.' l knew
I wasn't an infant, 1 wasn't sure about
an adult, so thought l must be the
emetic, and took the spoonful"

If You Have
No Insurance,

And think you should have. we would be
system to you. The Mutual Reserve is
the largest and strongest natural premi-
um company in the world, and the fourth
largest of ANY KIND. 1t has paid
about $3.50, 1000 to the widows and orphans
of deceased policy-holders in South Car
lima alone, during the past twelve years,
and if all the insurance now carried in
old line companies in the state was in the
Mutual Reserve, not less than S4OO, 900,
which now annually goes into the Golfers
of the former, would be left in the state
to help relieve the hard times about which
we hear so much.

How MUCH A Cow EATs.-A COW is
not inclined to gluttony. Usually
when the appetite is satisfied COW
will stop eating. Any cows appetite
may be gauged in this way: Give!her
all the feed she will eat and have
some left. Weigh what is given ITO
her and notice what is consumed.
Then make the regular ration three
fourths of the quantity eaten. No an
imal, not even a man, should have all
it can eat, and the surplus above what
is necessary is injurious, and produces
disease. Generally more harm is done
by over.eating than by starving.

A Snare
And DeluSiOn.

IF you have taken ont life insurance
i policy in an Old Line high price "leyel
premium" company with the, idea that
while you yet drew the breath of life, re-
ceive substantial cash returns or "big
dividends" we are here to tell you that
you will be disappointed. Your policy
will prove snare and a delusion. 1t is
all right for protection for your wife and
children, as they will receive the face of
the policy in case of your death, as they
would also in company that charges
you half as much. A life insurance poll
cy is fraud as an investment for living
man, and is the greatest blessing of which
we or anybody else has any knowledge
as means of protecting the widow and
orphans, after the breadwinner has been
removed by death,

ABOUT MINING TROUBLES.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE strike
leaders for some reasons have aban-
doned the idea of having here a meet
ing of the heads of different labor Or
CARNATIONS to devise means of bat
Ting with adverse rulings of the court
on miners injunctions. There are ru-
mors that the DeArmitts have arrang-
ed for the importation of 200 foreign
workmen next Monday TO work the
Turtle Creek and Plum Greek mines.
This is denied by Thomas DeArmitt,
but in spite of this, it is believed that
the New York and Cleveland Gas and
Coal company will give notice to all
strikers that they are willing to en-
ploy all old hands and should the
strikers not return to work within a
few days the company will try to EN-
ploy new men. Work of securing sig
natures to uniformity agreement is
progressing favorably and in a few
days the list will be ready for publica-
ton. About thirty operators are said
to have signed, but the committee is
not willing to say whether any of The
larger operators are on the nst.
