What Girls Are Doing.

We have news from one of the girls,
who is a guest at a house party not
far distant, of a beautiful dinner given
to her in honor of her engagement,
which has just been announced. She
writes that it was the handsomest din
ner she has ever seen. The color
scheme of the table decorations was
white and yellow, and meant to her
the white symbolical of her wedding
gown, and the yellow Of the wedding
ring. There we're ten at table; the
menu was not too long or exhausting,
just enough courses. and the food was
Of the best. Not being much Of con-
naisseuse in good cooking, this young
woman was more particularly struck
with the beauty Of the decoration q

Birds Vanity Would Not Risk Note
Beyond His Reach.
The gentleman Gor it is only the
male member of the family who is
musically gifted is also quite clever
lmitator, though his ambition in this
line sometimes brings discontinue,
says Lippincott's. Early one morning,
as | was wandering through the woods,
l happened upon a small clearing,
where my attention was attracted by
cat-bird. Perched upon a low pine in
the middle of the clearing, he was lis
tenlng to the distant notes of a cardi-
nal grosbeak, his head turned to one
side the better to catch the strain.
When the cardinal would drop his
theme the catbird would take it up, Civ
Ing a very fair and recognizable rendi-
tion of it. Suddenly from the woods
near by came one of the liquid phrases
OF the wood-thrush. That cat-bird at
once turned his attention to the new
singer, and, after moments pause.
during which he seemed to be fixing
the notes in his memory, reproduced
With tolerabie effect the simple phrase.
and then waited, with a self-satisfed
and confident air, for another. But the
wood thrush, oblivious of his humble
lmitator, followed his first phrase with
one containing one Of the low chest
notes which constitute the principal
charm Of his singing and which are
literally inimitable. The cat-bird lis
tened most attentively, cooking his
head first on one side and then on the
other, considered the matter carefully
for awhile, his confidence meantime
perceptibly oozing out like Bob Acres
courage, then finally ducked his head
ashamedly and flew off into the neigh
boring pines without uttering sound.
1t was beyond his reach and he knew
1t and was too vain to risk an absolute
failure.

IT. seems that the soldiers are hav.

It seems that the soldiers are hav'
ing a monkey and parrot time among
themselves. The 1st S. G. Regiment
is now in Columbia waiting to be
mustered out and from the Columbia
correspondence it seems that the
boys will not be set free until the
officers have had an opportunity to
crafty their spite against Lieutenant
Colonel TillmaD, for his activity IL
getting the authorities to muster out
the boys so that they may go home.
AS rule the officers are not anx-
ious to go out OF service because
their salaries, are much more than
than they can make at home, and
naturally do not like the idea OF the
boys petitioningto be set free. Colonel
Tillman, after ascertaining the wishes
of the soldiers, went to work TO use
his influence that their wishes might
be gratiied, and for this he is much
hated by his fellow-ohcers.

Senator Tillman was the recipient
of courtes;es from the mayor and
alderman of Charleston last week
and it resulted in his making an
effort to help Charleston in her de-
sire to induce the government to
make that city point for the en-
barkation of soldiers. Mayor Smythe
and few Of the aldermen honored
the Senator with a dining at the Char
lesion Hotel and they also wanted to
give him an excursion around the
harbor. While all of this was going
on Ben's pitch fork was lying close at
hand ready for use at an opportune
moment. Well let it go at that, Ben

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an indamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets indamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by eatarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

A LITERARY CURIOSITY.
What a Pack OF Cards Serves For.

What Pack OF Cards Serves For.
A private soldier by the name o!
Richard Lee was taken before the
magistrates OF Glasgow, for playing
cards during divine service. The ac'
count of it is thus given in the En-.
glish journals:
Sergeants commanded the soldiers
at the church, and when the pastor
had read the prayers he took the text.
Those who had a Bible took it out,
but this soldier having neither Bible
nor common prayer book, took out q
pack Of cards; he laid them out be,
fore him; he first looked at one card,
and then at another. The Sergeant
of the company saw him, and said;
Richard put up the cards; this is no
place fer them
Never mind that said Richard.
When the service was over the con-
stable took Richard prisoner and
brought him before the Mayor.
Well said the mayor, what hare
you brought the soldier here for?
For playing cards in church.
well, soldier, what have you got
to say for yourself
Much sir, I hope.
Very good; if not, I will punish

From BENJAMIN Franklin.

is to be chosen for medicine in the frs,
place; what experience tells you is best to
be chosen in the second place; what reason

IN the last place. But if you can get DR..
Inclination, DR.. Experience and DR.. Rea-
son to hold consultation together, they
will give you the best advice that can be
taken"
When you have bad cold DR.. Incllna-
ton would recommend Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy because It is pleasant and
safe to take. DR.. Experience would rec
ommend it because it never fails to effect a
speedy and permanent cure. DR.. Reason
would recommend it because it is prepared

Then, spreading the cards before

When I see the ace, it reminds me
that there is but ore God.
When I see the duce it reminds me
of the Father and Son.
When I see the tray, itreminds me
of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
When I see the four, it reminds me
Of the four evangelists that preach
ed-Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
When I see the five, 1t reminds me
of five wise Virgins that trimmed their
lamps.
There were ten, but FIVE were wise
and five were foolish and were shut
out.
When I see the six, it reminds me
that in six days the Lord made heaven
and earth.
When I see the seven, it reminds
me that on the seventh day God rest
ed from the great work he had made,
and hallowed it.
When I see the eight, it reminds
me of the eight righteous persons
that were saved when God destroyed
the world, viz, Noah and his wife, lis
three sons and their wives.
When I see the nine, it reminds
me of the nine lepers that were cleans
ed by our Savior. There were nine
out of the ten who returned thanks.
When see the ten it reminds me
of the The Commandments which God
handed down to Moses on the table
of stone.
When I see the King, it reminds
me of the Great King of Heaven,
which is God Almighty.
When l look at the queen, it re-
minds me of the Queen Of Sheba,
who visited Solomon, for she was as
wise a woman as he was man. She
brought with her fifty boys and fifty
girls, all dressed in boys apparel, for
King Solomon to tell which were boys
and which were girls King Solo
mon sent for water for them to wash.
The girls washed to the elbows and
the boys to the wrists. So King Sol
omon told by that

when I count how many spots are
in pack OF cards, I find three hun
dred and sixty-6ve, as many days as
there are in year.
When I count the number of cards
in pack, find there are ffty-two,
the number of weeks in a year; and I
find four suits, the number of weeks
in a month.
I find there are twelve picture cards
in a pack, representing the number
of months in year: and in counting
the tricks, I find thirteen, the num-
Der of weeks in quarter. So you see,
sir, a pack of cards serve for Bible,
almanac, and common prayer-book.
