churches of God, transatlantic and els

What a hell on earth a woman lives
in who has Il drunken husband!
On death, how lovely thou art to her,
and how soft and warm thy skeleton
hand,
The sepulcher at midnight in winter
IS kings drawing room compared
with that woman's home.
1t is not so much the blow On the
head that hurts as the blow on the
heart.
The rum fend came to the door Of
that beautiful home and opened the
door and stood there and said:
y curse this dwelling with unrelent-
ing curses"
Il curse that father into a maniac"
II curse that mother into pauper."
Il curse those sons into vagabonds."
II curse those daughters into profit

births and deaths"

Oh. how many wives there are wait
ing to see if something cannot be done
to shake these frosts of the second
death off the orange blossoms.
Yea, God is waiting-the God who
works through human instrumental
ities-waiting to see if this nation is
going to overthrow this evil, and if it
refuse to do so God will wipe out the
nation as he did Phoenicia. as he did
Rome, as he did Thebes, as he did Baby
Ion.
Aye. He is waiting to see what the
church of Coo viii do.
If the church will not do its work,
then He will wipe it out as He did the
church of Ephesus, the church of Thy
atira. the church of Sardis.
The Protestant and Roman Catholic
churches to-day stand side by side
with an impotent look, gazing on this
evil. which costs this country more than
$1,000, 100000 a year to take care of the
100000 paupers and 315,0OO criminals
and the 100000 idiots, and to bury the
$4,000 drunkards.

WARNING TO GIRLS.
Young WOmnn's Appeal to Them Not
to Marry Drinkers.

Girls, don't marry man who smokes
cigars or an all-pervading old pipe, for
generally. if he smokes, he will chew;
if he smokes and chewG tobacco he will
drink beer and whisky; if he drinks
beer and whisky for any length of time
he will lie; if he is a liar, he may be a
thief also. If he is a liar, but isn't a
thief. he is at least q coward; if he is a
coward, he will lay ali his mistakes and
sins on tine defenseless shoulders Of his
wife, il he does not take advantage of
his size to scold. Insult and possibly
beat her, to the best OF his ability max
ing her life miserable.
A man who drinks alcoholic bever-
ages is in danger of committing all Of
the foregoing sins, only give him time
enough. OF course all will not do so,
but you are just as apt to get the one
who will as the one who will not, so
beware Of the young man of bad habits,
even as an incipient bad habit is some
times more to be feared than a col
ony of rattlesnakes.-,lenny Watson, in

A reporter recently called at this famous
seat OF learning and was shown into the room
of the President, Prof. Alvin P. Barnaby.
When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barn
ably was in delicate health. To-day he was
apparently in the best of health. In re-
spouse to an inquiry the professor said:
ooh, yes, | am much better than for some
time. am now in perfect health; but my
recovery was brought about in rather a
peculiar way"
Tell me about it" said the reporter.

the professor, Il studied too hard when at
school, endeavoring to educate myself for
the professions. After completing the com

the theological course. | entered the min
istry and accepted the charge of United
Brethren Church at small place in Kent
County, Mich. Being of an ambitious ma

and studies. In time | noticed that my
health was failing Ny trouble was indiges-
ton, and this with other troubles brought
on nervousness.
"My physician prescribed for me for some
time, and advised me to take a change of
climate. l did as requested and was soma
improved. Soon after | came here as pro-
fessor in physics and chemistry, and later
was financial agent of this college. The
change agreed with me, and for awhile my
health was better, but my duties were heavy,

clans. Finally | was able to return to my
duties. Last spring was elected president
of the college. Again l had considerable
work, and the trouble, which had not been
entirely cured, began to affect me, and
last fall l collapsed. l had different doctors,
but none did me any good. Professor Bow
man, who is professor of natural science, told
me of his experience with DR.. Williams Pinl;
Pills for Pale People, and urged me to give
them a trial, because they had benefited
him in a similar case, and l concluded to try
them.

FISHING EoR sPONGeS.
An Expert is Poorly Paid and Away
Suffers From rheumatism.

An Expert Is Poorly Paid and Always
Suffers From Rheumatism.
Lying on his chest along the boats
deck, the sponge fisher, with his water
glass-a pane set in box fitted with
handles-looks down 40 feet into the
clear depths, says Pearsons Weekly.
With one hand he grasps and sinks
slender pole, sometimes so feet in
length, fitted at the end with a dOu BILE
hook. The sponge once discovered,
the hook is deity inserted at the rocky
base, and by a sudden jerk the sponge
is detached.
This curt description Of what seems
the simple work of sponge fishing gives
no idea of the real skill and eXertion
needed. The eye of the fisher has to
be trained by long experience to peer
into the sea and tell the commercially
valuable sponge from those that are
worthless. He must have deft hand
to detach the sponge without a tear.
Above all, while doing this with one
hand, he must manipulate with the
other the water glass, as the waves
sway it sideways and up and down.
The strain on eye and body is most in
tense, to say nothing of the cramped
position and exposure to wind and wet,
which, first and last, make almost
every sponge fisher victim of acute
rheumatism. Yet, with all his arduOus
toll, an expert fisher earns not more
than three pounds sterling a month,
besides his keep" on the boat, which
barely deserves the name of existence.

PIG PEN POINTERS.

With good clover pasture hogs can
be made to fatten very rapidly and at
low cost.
AS soon as the pigs are.two weeks old
begin to feed them in a side trough.
This will push them along nicely and
save the SOW.
There is encouragement in the gen
eral acquiescence in the policy of Civ
ing swine range-plenty of grass and
clover, and less of the everlasting corn
diet. We no longer aim at masses of
living lard.
Boar pigs that are doing service need
careful attention and good feeding. Do
not feed any great quantity of corn; try
a few peas, ground oats and a handful
of oil meal, and exercise them as much
as possible.
In a majority of cases, however good
may be the clover patch which the farm
er has for his hogs, it will pay to buy
a supply of ship-stuff to feed with it.
This for the sake of variety and for the
good Of the pasture.
Plenty of hogs are killed by quack
nostrums when cholera is supposed to
be i'll the herd. Aconite and concen.
trated I've are fed plentifully and hogs
die. Starvation is better treatment
tAan rank polsons Unfortunately fed.
We can reduce the cost of pork by
reducing the time in which we grow it.
A 2O0-pound pig, well marked with lean,
is demanded. This can be got ready in
six months often, and where butter
dairy is run a considerable greater
weight can be procured.-Rural World.

ATTACKED BY FROGS.
Terrible Experience of Man Who At

LtHpts 10 Cleanse "A we
Elmer Cantor, of Union, n. Y, for
some time has noticed peculiar taste
in the water in his well, and he deter
mined to clean it William Forbes was
engaged to pump it out, and after
draining off as much water as possible
he descended into the well. Suddenly
Cantor heard loud commotion in the
water and a muffled cry for help. He
thought the man had been overcome
by gas and hurried down to find a
squirming mass on the water, with
which Forbes was battling. On pro-
jecting stones above his head and in
the water around him We're thousands

lows, and it seemed as though they had
made preconcerted attack.
They were leaping upon his head and
shoulders from all directions, and he
was covered with a slime that gave
forth a sickening odor. 1t was with
some difficulty that he was rescued
from his perilous position, and had he
remained in the water a short time
longer he would have sunk helpless to
the bottom. 1t is supposed the frogs
reached the well from pond by means
of an underground channel.

Verses from the Koran and other

criminal in oriental law to export such

Board of Trustees Want Further In

There seems to be considerable diff
ference of opinion between the board
of trustees of Clemson and the State
board of health. The latter has made
restrictions on the sapitary arrange
ments of the college which members
of the board of trustees do not think
correct. The doctors, for instance, say
that the fever at the college was ty-
phoid. while the board. acting on the
statement of physicians living in the
neighborhood, say it was only malaria.
It is understood that the board of trus-
tees requested DR.. Babcock to go to
Clemson and make an investigation,
but he declined because of the pres
sure of duties at the Hospital for the
Insane. as we'll as the fact that the
board of health is supreme in such
matters. According to tho law Great
ing the board it has what may be
termed supreme power. They can say
such and such disease is typhoid fe-
yer and it goes. They can order GER
tain changes in sanitary arrangements
to be made and that settles it. Hence

on every stump, but he preferred to
make the campaign on national issues.
(Applause.)
Mr.. Mayfeld began by declaring
that he was in no combination, but re-
affirmed his previous statement that
Governor Ellerbe had said to him that
he would bring the full force
of his administration to aid
McLaurin. The governor, he as
serted, had said to him that should only
he and McLaurin run he would be
hands of, but should others run he
would use his full influence to secure
the election of McLaurin. He had no
desire to make this statement but the
charges day after day on the stump and
the continual assertions of Ellerbe's
paper The Evening Record had forced
him in self defence to deny being IN u
combination.
Mr.. McLaurin asked if that was not a
private conversation held in the Gov
ernor's Office that he was repeating.
Mayfeld answered ''no.
Mr.. Mayfeld answered that Governor
Ellerbe would have all the opportunity
at Columbia to defend himself.
Mr.. Mayfeld then procdeeded with
his speech, which was an aggressive
attack on McLaurin' S tariff policy. He
declared that McLauin's schedule on
lumber was tax on the people from
the cradle to the grave. Laughter and

In conclusion he declared: g Mr..
