We notice that some Of the State
papers, notably the Asheville Gazette,
are advocating the repeal Of the 6 per
cent. interstlaw, and the re enactment
of the 8 per cent. We hope the Iegis.

breakers, and leave the interest law

INTERVENTION NOT PROBABLE.
Madrid Looks Upon Admiral Cervera
as Their Champion.

London. May 15.-Therc are no fresh war
developments and the rumors of European
intervention to put a stop 10 the conflict
between Spain and the United States may
be dismissed mere attempts to provoke
official utterances on the situation
Advices from Madrid indicate that the
people there regard Admiral CerVera as
their champion, hoping much from his as
tuteness The newly appointed admiral of
the Cadiz fleet is also regarded as an
able officer and until both have had their
innings it is probable that the Spaniards
will look with greater leniency upon the
present government.
The recent alleged success of the Spanish
forces have inclined the country to ignore
the question of the cabinet changes for tho
present.

For Spring Colds.
Philadelphia Record.

For collie pain or cold in the bowels. two
large, thick dinner plates will give quick
relief, if there is no hot-water bottles at
hand. Put a plate into very hot water and
let it heat until you cannot bear your hand
on it, then wrap it in a thin towel and lay
it over the seat Of pain. while the other is
heating, changing as often as plate grows
cold. This is much easier than wringing
cloths from hot water, and quite as eff
ficacious a remedy.
For cold and sudden chills heat number
of large, thick newspapers as hot as possi-
ble over the stove, in the oven. or wherever
ii is possible to get them very hot without
catching fire; fold thick to hold the heat,
then place at the back, on the side, or over
the extremities of the patient changing as
the heat is lost. They will relieve pain and
are much better than wet cloths to promote
sweating.
An external application for sore throat
and cough has long been a favorite of the
experienced nurse who claims to have saved
many lives by it's use; and it is simple
enough and certainly worth trying: Take
a cup of mutton tallow and two large spoon
fuls of spirits of turpentine; put into the
turpentine all the gum camphor that it will
dissolve; then add to the cup of tallow,
melted, mix thoroughly and keep where it
will be convenient to apply to the throat
or chest on cloth when needed, covering
warmly. This gives most instant relief.
1t is good for any lung trouble, Group or

Israers glory wouls have never become the
football of Assyrsa and Babylon, and the
wandering Jew the butt of worlds ridi-
cule and oppression.
Pretty sensational was John the Bap-
tist with his stern invective to the self
righteous intelligence of the Pharisees Of
his day But somehow thousands focked
across the Jordan to hear him. and the i'm
mortal truth of his words lives over the
dead and forgotten wrecks of the ire
ligious, skepticaI and Indifferent doctrin-
aires who essayed to question his methods.
Paul was such sensationalist that he was
accused of turning the world upside
down." but Paul lives, the friend of human
ity. in every Christian pulpit in the world
to-day Martin Luther shook this world
from center to circumference with SEN
sationalism the reverberations of which
shall never become silent; John Knox, be-
fore Queen Mary, thundered forth SEN
satonaI voice which saved the liberties of
Scotland. Whitefield electrified this earth
with 1900 sensational sermons.
Perhaps the truth is that the real reason
why the pews of this age are not filled by
men, as they once were, is because, in a
great degree the spirit of Calvin, Luther
Knox Edwards and Whitefeld is no longer
virile and voiced by her pulpits.
Another writer says that 1.-The great body
af the people are in advance of the aver
age clergyman in useful information and
regard for practical ethics"
1t is very evident that men who claim
this either never attend church at all or do
not have intelligence enough to understand
what they hear when they do attend. There
never was a period in the history of the
world when practical ethics and everyday
religion was so extensively preached as il
IS to-day. 1 find in my experience that
practical ethics is the very thing that
these nongoing church men do not wish to
hear; and about the only thing they are
pleased with is some sermon of glittering
generalities, without any personal applica-
tion.
Religion is not addressed to the work of
healing insane minds It's mission is to
heal broken hearts. Men may tell us that
we need a more intellectual faith, but we
shall believe this only when man becomes a
creature without a heart The mission of
the pulpit is to help men when all other
helpers fail; it is to teach men how to make
the best of both worlds by making the best
of this. 1t is to prepare men for time, for
eternity, andto give them peace in death In
this holy cause all preteXtS vanish as the
chaff before the wind. But after all is said
the most convincing evidence is found in
personal experience: IF any man will do
His will, he shall know"
Standing upon this high pinnacle of re-
ligion's speciality to furnish a foundation
upon which man can stand when all is
storm and tempest and wreck, a chart to
guide him over the sea of life, and enable
him TO cast his anchor in heaven. II chal-
lenge"-in the words of the departed Glad
stone-"I challenge the world to show that
the religion of Jesus Christ has a rival

The Barefoot BOY.

o for boyhood's painless play,
Sleep that wakes in laughing day,
Health that mocks the doctors rules,
knowledge never learned of schools,
OF the wild bees morning chase,
OF the wild flowers time and place,
Flight of fowl and habitude
OF the tenants of the wood;
How the tortoise bears his shell.
How the woodchuck digs his cell,
And the ground mole sinAs his well;
How the robin feeds her young,
How the orioles nest is hung;
Where the whitest lilies bloN
Where the freshest berries grow,
Where the groundnut trails its vine,
Where the woodgrape's clusters shine;
OF the black wasps cunning way,
Mason of his walls of clay.
And the architectural plans
OF gray hornet artisans
For. eschewing books and tasks,
Nature answers all he asks;
Hand in hand with her he walks,
Face to face with her he talks,
Part and parcel of her joy
