The Critical Habit

"Do not drift into the critica
habit" writes Ruth Ashmore in
the Ladies' Home Journal.
fHave an opinion, and sensible
one, about everything, but when
you come to Judge people remem-
Der that you See very little of
what they really are, unless you
winter and summer with them.
Find the kindly, lovable nature
of the man who knows little of
books. Look for the beautiful
self-sacrltice made daily by some
woman who knows nothing about
pictures, and teach yourself day
in and day out to look for the
best in everything. 1t is the
every day joys and sorrows, my
dear girl, that go to make up life.
It is not the one great sorrow,
nor the one intense JOY; it is the
accumulation of the little ones
that constitute living, so do not
be critical of the little faults, and
do be quick to find the little vlr-
tues and to praise them. So much
that is good in people dies for
want of encoura cement. AS L
said before, have an opinion, and
well-thought-out one, about
everything that comes into your
life, but do not have too many
things from the Bible, among
them the old open books, and as
you must be judged yourself some
day, give them the kindest judg-
ment now.'

NeighbOrliness in Cities

The rapidly increasing popula-
ton of our great cities find it
hard to attach any definite sense
to the old requirement that a
man shall love his neighbor as he
loves himself. Neighborhood in
great city tends to amount to
very little in the way of social IN
tercourse. If nelghbors do not
get into each others way, and if
they nod on the doorstep morning
and evening, they think they have
done wonderfully we'll in this mat
ter. AS to any closer association,
it is rather avoided than Guilt
waited. ''Pray do not introduce
her to me-" was the request of a
Boston woman to her hostess,
who had offered to bring her to
the acquaintance of a charming
woman. The feeling thus ex-
pressed is by no means unusual.
We commonly prefer to choose
our acquaintance at a manageable
distance.
In this way we not only make
void social law of the highest
authority, but rob ourselves of
one of the finest pleasures of city
life. Good neighborhood, or
nelghborliness, is not only vir-
tue, but an enjoyment. 1t also
is one of the most effectual ways
of influencing others for their
good. In old Philadelphia there
was much of this. When fuel
was much scarcer than it now is,
it was not unusual for the rich to
throw open their kitchens to the
working people of their neighbour
hood, that they mlght.> warm
themselves we'll before going to
their work. People interested
themselves in young people who
were struggling to get on their
feet. Franklln's famous bequest
for the benefit of young mechan-
les was not an isolated fact In our
city life, 1t finds a parallel IN
the Smith bequest at Northamp-
ton, Mass, one of the purposes of
which is to help young married
people to begin housekeeping. The
man who left the money lived
and died a bachelor.
The soreSt wants of
the poor are not those of back
and stomach, but those of mind
and spirit. They lack the energy
of mind and will which brings
success, and no better helper to
their obtaining this can be than
a good Observation-Disclosures Ellis

Wilmington Messenger
1t is gratifying to the Messenger TO
learn that Capt. Samuel \. Ashe, of
Raleigh, has about completed his "Sch0ol
History of North Carolina" upon which
he has been engaged for some time. 1t
will be published probably this year. We
are glad to know this for there are few
men in our State who can produce as
clear. reliable. well written work of
the kind as our friend. We happen to
know that more than twenty-fOur years
ago he had made some progress i'll pre-
pairing a larger history. for the people as
well as the library, of North Carolina.
When he ascertaned that the writer of
this article was on the eve of beginning
a History of the People of North Caro-
lima" with most marked courtesy and
magnanimity he abandoned his cherish
ed plan We have long rejoiced, particu-
larry since the great volumes of the
Colonial Records" were unearthed and
published by the State. that circum-
stances in 1879. compelled us to give MP
the undertaking that would. have exact
ed four or five years of severe toll. We
regret that Capt Ashe did not complete
his purposed work He is particularly
competent to have written a thoughtful,
accurate and valuable State history.
Let his smaller. less ambitious, work be
published as soon as possible Whining

THE OLD WAY.
OF Treating Dyspepsia and fndi-
gcstion by Dieting Il Danger
ons and Useless One.


We say the old way, but really it is Il
very common one at present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians rs well
consider the first step to take in attempt
ing to cure indigestion is to diet, either
by selecting certain foods and rejecting
others or to greatly diminish the guam
tity usually taken, in other words, the
starvation plan is by many supposed
to be the first ESSENTIAL.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for dyspepsia has been prov
en- time and again, but still the moment
dyspepsia makes its appearance course
of dieting is at, once. advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is foolish
and unscientific to recommend dieting or
starvation to man suffering from dyS-
pepsia. because Indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and every
fibre in the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good,
wholesome, well cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to di-
gest it. This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by which
they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia,
in other words the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets digest it for him. In this
way the system is nourished and the
overworked stomach rested, because the
tablets will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. One of these
tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat
or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest
and safest remedy for stomach troubles
and every trial makes one more friend
for this excellent preparation. Sold at
scots for full sized package at all drug
stores.
