l warrant, for she looks cold enough.
One of them had 20 and the other
II francs, and binding them in 4
knot Mr.. Hope passed il round her
neck.
On receiving it abe blushed with
delight, kissed both their hands and

"How jealous my sister Angela
will be and how happy my mother I"
just then . wave rolled past, and
the water began to turn along the
little platform they were sitting
upon. They rose and mounted on
the rocky points and had scarcely
reached them when the water was
q foot deep where they had been
seated.
Another wave came-the water
was within six inches of their feet.
ut is terrible high tide" said
the girl, "but if we hold together
we shall not be washed away"
On looking to the shore they saw
great many people clustering to-
gether on the nearest point. A
faint sound of cheers was heard,
and they could see hats and hand
kerchiefs waved to them.
1.-THE tide has turned" said the
girl. "They are shouting to cheer
u.s."
She was right. In five minutes
the place was dry.
They had some hours to wait
before they could venture on the
sand, and it was quite dark before
they reached the beach, but at
length, guided by the light on
shore, they gained their own homes
in safety, not unmindful of him
who says to the proud waves,
Hitherto shalt thou come and no
farther, and here shalt thy proud
waves be staid."
The friends handsomely rewarded
the little fisher girl, whose name
was Matilde, for her bravery.-New
York News.

Professor Slikham says there are
few people who thoroughly realize
the value of water as q beverage, or
who know how to obtain the great
est advantage from it. The effects
produced by the drinking Of water
vary with the the manner in which
it is drunk. If, for instance, pint
of cold water be swallowed at a
large draught, or if it be taken in
two portions with a short interval
between, certain definite results fol-
low-efects which differ from those
which would have resulted from
the same quantity taken by slipping.
Slipping is powerful stimulant to
the circulation, thing which ordi-
nary drinking is not.
During the act of slipping the &C.
ton of the nerve which slows the
beats of the heart is abolished and
as consequence that organ con-
traits much more rapidly, the pulse
beats more quickly, and the circu-
lation in the various parts of the
body is increased. In addition to
this we find that the pressure under
which the bile is secreted is raised
by the slipping of fluid. And here is
a point which might we'll be noted
by our readers A glass of cold
water slowly slipped will produce
greater acceleration of the pulse for
a time than will a glass of wine or
spirits taken at draught. In this
connection 1t may not be out of
place to mention that slipping cold
water will often allay the craving
for alcohol in those who have been
in the habit of taking too much of
it, and who may be endeavoring to
reform, the effect being probably
due to the stimulant action of the
slipping.

VAN WICK ITEMS.

I The weather remains dryand
very warm. On last Wednesday
and d1Thursday the THERMOMETERS
stood at 100 degrees at 3 p. m. =,
in our place of business. The
heat and dust is getting almost
uncomfortable.
The small grain crop is being
harvested. The quality of the
grain is good but the quantity is
small. The yield per acre will be
very light. Some fields will hard
ly yield the amount of grain that
was sowed.
Some of our farmers are selling
their Gotten that they have been
holding for higher prices. MIR. j
l. Tillman, Sr., sold a lot of 90
bales last week to Mr.. j l. Rod
man for the Rodman Heath cot
ton mill 1T Waxhaw and this
week MIR. Rodman bought a lot
of 139 bales from Mr.. E B Mob
ley to be used in the same mill.
These men held too long as cts.
was the price they received. There
are some other lots being held
around Van Wyck for higher
prices.

he visits his boyhood home.
Miss Maud Tillman, daughter
of MIR. and Mrs. w r Tillman is
at home from Winthrop College
where she graduated with the
class Of 1899. She will be en-
gagged in teaching in the future
and we predict she viii ne sue.
cess in teaching the young idea
how to shoot.
Miss AdaIize Thern is on a
visit at the homo of j M Yoder
and family. She has many friends
about Van Wyck and many of the
little children remember her as a
favorite teacher. Some of the
young men are making more
frequent visits to Van Wyck and
the "Littls Judge" gives his shoes
an extra coat of blacking.
Miss Bright McCollum of
Wadesboro, is at Van Wyck with
her friend Miss Sue Yoder and

Bates marriage.
