Filtration Bringeth u Snare.
Edgefield Chronicle.


Nearly every girl who is firted
with, and especially those who 80 far
forget self-respect as to firt, come out
with injured characters. They are
talked about by the young men, who
lose respect for them and who do not
care to have as wives such girls.
They are looked upon and classed as
"fast." Filtration is silly, senseless,
and lowers a girl in the estimation
of mankind.
Love brought about by filtration
seldom kills, or causes O girl OF her
own choice to remain single. From
the writer's standpoint, remaining
single is often caused from the fact
that no man has confidence in a girl
who has once flirted, sufficient to in
duce him to marry her, and the man
cannot be blamed for his want of
confidence and respect. That girl
may marry, but she will have to
marry where she is not known.
There is no precaution that will hide
flirting. The man firted with In
ninety-nine cases out of hundred

finds 1t out and will tell all the liber-
ties that was allowed with additions.

Contact with God.

Christianity reveals the possibility
Of actual personal contact of man with
God contact, not for conflict, but con-
tact for support. 1t shows US to be in
intimate relation with God. 1t does
not reveal him to us as one watches
over us for opportunities for wrath
and then comes upon us Indignantly
to punish us because we have offend
ed him this Is largely the conception
of human religions. It is with them
not 80 much for wrongdoing that men
are punished as it is for having dis
pleased him whom they call God.
Christianity teaches us of God who Is
displeased when we do wrong not
because the wrong hurts him, but be-
cause it hurts us. It reveals God as
omnipotent and as one who, In his
omnipotency, comes to man and takes
his place at his side and helps him
over the difficult places in life. One
who, If a man fall on his journey, in
stead Of putting his foot upon him to
grind him to powder, reaches down
his mighty hand, and in loving ten
derness helps up the fallen one. 1t
reveals God who, instead of laugh
ing at man in his sorrow, sheds with
him tears of sympathy. A God who
Is 80 long.suferipg and 80 patient,
that when mans father and mother
forsake him he will take him up
Such being meets a great human

Fool Names for Children.
washington Post.)

Of course, this Is free country and
parents have the right to inf1ict upon
their innocent and helpless babes al
most any outrageous name that may
occur to their maudlin minds. Thus
we have the crop of Babys, Snow
drops, Katydids, Brides. Pinkies,
Sweeth" carts, etc.. ETC., which makes
the judicious grieve and in after life
cause the victims to shudder and to
weep. The names are silly enough
even when the girls are young, pretty,
rosy and innocent; but imagine Birdie
with an overfowing waist, family
of ten or twelve, down at the heel and
slightly bald O., think of Baby,
long, lean, gray haired, acid, wearing
a distinct beard and sporting wart at
the end of her nose.
To afflict children with names
which in later years must always
seem foolish, and which, only too of
ten makes them wretched and ridic-
ulous, ia to come very near the crime.
Down South in slave times there
were inconsiderate masters who, i'm.
agining themselves witty and face.
tious would have black children
named Zenobia, Ariadne, Solomon,
Aelisarius, Juno, Venus, Cleopatra
Jupiter, Cynthia, Thisbe and 80 on
It was sorry just, but there was the
redeeming feature that the victims
did not feel the sarcasm and that the
'tquarter" soon modified the mon.
strosities into Jupe,-Belly, Sinthy,
Sol, Patty, etc., which in time under.
went futher and more civilized amend
ments. But this maudlin nonsense tC
which our correspondent refers &c
aptly constitutes real injury and
should be visited with organized
rebuke and opposition. Parents have
no right, morally speaking, at least
to bring children into the world and
afflict them with names which will
afterwards make them wish they had
never been born.

Treatment Of Cows.

Many owners of COWS in this city
have them driven to pasture in the
suburbs by men and boys engaged in
that business. It would be the part Of
wisdom for such owners to caution
the drivers against throwing rocks at
the cows, chasing them with dogs. OF
otherwise exciting and frightening
them, and at some convenient time to
watch the process of driving to OF
from pasture.
A good COW is valuable possession,
and worthy of the best treatment. Ha.

ly injury the yield of milk, both in
quantity and quality. A bulletin is'
sued from the experiment station In
connection with the Kansas Agricul-
tural college, contains the following
ON this subject:
"Kindness is an efficient aid in
increasing milk yield and costs moth
ing. The more mixer can make
the cow love him as she loves her calf,
the more milk she will yield to him.
Investigations show that is probably
that a considerable portion of the milk
is secreted during the operation of
milking, especially the rich milk
which comes last. Abuse and excite
ment reduce the secretion and not
only lower the quantity of milk given,
but often lower the percentage Of but
ter fat. Kindness and petting make
the COW contented and put her nervous
system in such condition that the
fullest yield ia given. This is not the
only cause, but 1t is probably chief
cause, of the wide variation in butter
fat sometimes shown in creamery
tests. Hurrying cows, running them
with dogs, beating them or speaking
roughly to them will reduce the yield
of milk and per cent of butter fat. A
change of mixers will often lower the
per cent Of butter fat until the cow be-
comes fond of the new mixer.
