THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
Soldiers Gave God the Glory for q
Victory.

Soldiers Gave God the Glory for q
Victory.
Writing in Harper's Magazine about
the Jameson raid Upon the Beers of
South Africa, Mr.. P%oultney Bigelow
gave this episode:
"When the Beers had silenced the FIR
ing of Jameson's men, and had saved
their country from what they feared
might prove an invasion disastrous to
their independence, they did NJ cele-
brate the event by cheers or bonf1res.
They fell upon their knees and follow
ed the prayers offered by their elders;
they gave praise to Almighty God for
having protected them; they searched
their hearts and prayed to be cleansed
from the spirit of Boosting; they pray
ed for jameson and his men, that they
might be guided by the light of justice
and Christian fellowship-and this they
prayed while some of the dead lay I'M
buried about them"
When Jameson surrendered, moth
ing could exceed the kindness of the
people, both Dutch and English, who
came up afterward. Milk, brandy, meat
and bread sent for the wounded"
said DR.. Hathaway, one of Jameson's
surgeons. I'VE were nothing but pi-
rates." he added, land richly deserved
hanging-every one of us!"
Mr.. Bigelow, commenting upon this
forgetfulness, apparently, of the Beers
of everything except their duties as
Christians, says:
'"This Is the nearest example l know
of in history of soldiers in the field act
ing practically On the precept, Love
your enemies"
If Mr.. Bigelow should eve visit Lich-
field Cathedral, he would see there a
memorial window to Bishop Selwyn
commemorating the deed of q New
Zealand Christian. He was an officer
of the Maoris-one of DR.. Selwyn's con-
verts while missionary bishop of that
standard had taken up arms with
his people to resist the encroachments
of the English.
The British made an attack on a ma.
tive fort, and We're repulsed with great
slaughter. During the attack this Of
ficer, hearing the groans of a wounded
Englishman, crept out from the fort,
and crawling on his hands and knees,
carried q cruise of water to his enemy.
The man proved to be a British cap
tain, and the water saved his life.
The next day another assault on the
fort was made, and was successful.
The Maori Christian was slain. A New
Testament was found on his person,
nssd2ersesH co. wss-Hsderhned
With blood, as if his fingers had traced
the words: eff thine enemy hunger,
feed him; If he thirst, give him drink"
A fort-the story is also told in Bish-
op Selwyn's biography-which COM
manded the channel of a river was 50
invested by the Maoris that the En-.
glish garrison was near starvation.
One morning they beheld a native ca
noe bearing a flag of true floating down
to the fort, and at some distance behind
several other canoes. On landing, they
were found to contain provisions from
the Maori officer in command of the
besieging force, and with them came
this message:
Therefore if thine enemy hunger,
feed him; If he thirst, give him drink"
We wonder If the English officer
commanding that garrison ever fred
another shot against these Christian

About Salt.

A little salt rubbed on the cups
will take off tea stains. Put into
whitewash it will make it stick better.
AS tooth powder it will keep The
teeth white and the gums hard and
rosy. 1t is one Of the best gargles for
sore throat and preventive of dipthe-
ria if taken in time. Use salt and
water to clean willow furniture; apply
with brush and rub dry. Salt and
water held in the mouth after having
tooth pulled will stop the bleeding.
Prints rinsed with it in the water will
hold their color and look brighter.
Two teaspoonfuls in half pint of
tepid water is an emetic always on
hand, and is an antidote for poisoning
from nitrate Of silver. Neuralgia Of
the feet and. limbs can be cured by
bathing night and morning with salt
and water 'hs hot as can be borne.
When taken out, rub the feet briskly
with coarse towel. Salt and water
is one of the best remedies for sore
eyes, and IL applied in time will scat
ter the inflammation. Silk handker-
chiefs and ribbons should be washed
in salt water, aud ironed wet, to OBJ
tain the best results. Food would be
insipid and tasteless without it.
Remorrhsges Of the lungs or stom-
aoh are promptly checked by small
doses Of salt.

from minor ills and curative Of lnno-
standing diseases, either in the shape
of beverage or as bath, gush f.om
among the rocks at many points. The
White Sulphur Springs in West Vir-
ginia, the Hot Springs, the Warm
Springs, the Healing Springs in Bath
county, the old Sweet Springs, Rock
bridge Alum in Virginia, the Hot
Springs Of North Carolina and others
at Lincolnton and Shelby, N. c.,
Sweet Water and Bowden, near AT
lanta, are few Of the iron, chaly-
beate or sulphur springs belonging to
the Virginias, the Carolinas, Tennes-
see and Georgia, situated in healthy
places and surrounded by picturesque
views which are attracting every year
greater number of visitors than be-
fore. To most Of these springs direct
railroad connection is had with the
cities Of the North, West and farther
South, and each year finds improve
ments and additional attractions, none
of which. however, mar the beauties
which have been created by nature.
Typical of them all, perhaps, are
those in the vicinity of Asheville, N.
G. The development Of that section
as health resort for both the summer
and winter is largely due to the enter
prise Of the railroads and the delight
of wealthy persons who have once
visited it. The city Of Asheville
itself is monument of the apprecie-
tion of the South as sanitarium. It's
population consists largely Of tourists
or of those persons who. oEce seeing
it, have determined TO make it their
home for life. Nearby is the magnifi-
cent Biltmore estate, an attraction
which casual visitors are permitted to
enjoy. Then there is the Cloudland
Hotel, on the top Of Roam mountain,
at an elevation of G, 400 feet, and COM
manding view Of $4,000 miles of
territory in seven States-the two
Virginias, two Carolinas, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Georgia.
From this place there is an easy ac-
cess by an excellent mountain turn
pike to other resorts, such as Eseeola
Inn, at Linnville, and the accomoda-
tions at Blowing Rock, where spring
atmosphere seems to abide eternally.
By another route one reaches Waynes-
vile, filed with the healing odors Of
the fir and presenting points of advan-
tage for observing magnificent views
Of cliff, valley and mountain stream.
and the whole topped by Mount Mitch
ell, Grandfather, Roam and Clingman'
Peak. Across the border lies the
Lookout mountain, overhangiug Chat
tanooga. Not far away is Chickameu-
ga, which seems destined to be the
place of attraction for thousands of
hearts, if not of feet, during the COM
ing summer. The very fact which has
made Chickamauga mobilization CEN
ter for armies of the United States is
that which will Undue, large patron
age Of the Southern mountain resorts
this year. No one can doubt that
timidity on the part of many persons
will lead them to select the mountains
for their summer outing, instead Of
the seashore.
The resorts all along the9 coast will
probably have good business, but
they must share to greater extent
now than ever that business with the
secure, health giving, comfortable and
picturesque resorts Of the Appalach-

SIMMER IN TIE SOUTH. 50 l
Its Mountain Resorts to be in Greater
Demand Than Ever.
Manufacturers Record.

The coming summer is likely to be
marked by decided increase in the
patronage of the mountain resorts of
the South. For more than half cen
tury the people of the South who have
had the means and the leisure have
been accustomed to divide their sum-
mcrs between the resorts of the North
and some of the older ones Of the
South. In former years there was
regular migration with the on-coming
Of warm weather from the lOwlands to
the mountains. The plantation fami-
lies or the dwcllers in cities of the
plains made the pilgrimage, enlivened
with the change to out door life on
the route, and spent at least month
in some retreat like that of the old
Grccnbrier White or some of the
lesser resorts whose name is now only
memory. Wealthy families from
New Orleans or Mobile travelled by
steamboat and in their private equip
ages overland to the heights of the
Appalachian range, and there remained
until the on-coming of cooler weather
or continued their happy journey to
Saratoga or one of the seaside resorts
just in their beginnings. That was in
the days before the railroads had made
accessible and had aided in the devel-
opment of many resorts which now
rank with the best that the North has
or ever had.
There are many distinct advantages
possessed by these summer refugees.
Though many Of them have all the
convenicnces Of table and appoint
ments, they are still close to the
wilderness of the woods. Within the
walk Of well-arranged hotel are
magnificent stretches Of scenery, op-
p0rtunities for sportsmen and tempta-
tions 70 the invalid to WOO health in
close communion with nature. The
inter migration from the North to
Florida, Georgia, the Carol;nas, Ala
bama and Louisiana has become
permanent fact in American life; but
the South is not only an immense
sanitarium for the winter, but also for
the whole year. From Mason and
Dixon line clear into Alabama and
to Georgia the Appalachian range
forms unending lines of beauty. Not
as bold as the Rockies, nor as sharply
defined, perhaps, as the New England
Mount Washington, the ranges of the
Blue Ridge are yet most pleasing in
their changing color under different
skies, their sweeping forms, and, as
they rise to North Carolina, their COM
manding elevations. Comparatively
few persons realize that in Western
North Carolina there are forty three
mountains more than 5000 feet high,
towering above others ranging from
1900 feet down, and one Of the chief
attractions shout these mountains is
that they have nothing Of the worn
appearance Of the better-known peaks
Of the East, but are full Of pleasant
surprises and give opportunity for
ever changing vistas to him who idles
among them.
Moreover, the Appalachian range is
really an immense mineral fountain.

is said that it was in his interest THAT
Dir. Mott came down here Sunday.

Walton's death the duties Of the office
