vlvisection is the inquisition-the
hell-oi science. All the cruelty which
the human-or rather the inhuman-
heart is capable of inAicting is in this
one word. Below this there is no depth.
This word lies like coiled serpent at
the bottom Of the abyss.

Fear paralyzes the brain. Progress
is born of courage. Fear believes,
courage doubts. Fear falls upon the
earth and prays; courage stands erect
and thinks. Fear retreats; courage ad-
yances. Fear is barbarism; courage is
civilization. Fear believes in witch
craft, devils and in ghosts, Fear is
religion; courage is science.

Art is the highest form of expression,
and exists for the sake of expression.
Art is not sermon, and the artist is
not a preacher. Art accomplishes by
indirection. The beautiful refnes.
The perfect in art suggests the perfect
in conduct. The harmony in music
teaches, without intention, the lesson
Of proportion in life. The bird in his
song has no moral purpose, and yet the
influence is humanizing. Art civilizes
because t enlightens, develops,
strengthens, ennobles. 1t deals with
the beautiful, with the passionate, with
the ideal.

One of the most picturesque and de-
lightful sections of North Carolina, is
what is known as the Sapphire Country,
This section is located near Brevard,
N. c., at an average altitude of 1000
feet, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand waterfalls.
OF the many attractive features, per-
haps one of the most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphioe Lakes. No where else in
the south at this altitude are there
such bodies of water. There are tow
ering cliffs, rising abruptly for a thou
sand foot from their shores and cas-
dades of rare beauty falling directly
into the lakes from the lofty table land
surrounding.
On account of the elevation Of this
section, it is very healthy, and particu-
larly adapted to those troubled with
hay fever, being also free from all ma
laria or other diseases. A record of
the temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years, shows an average of 90 de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and the
Lodge, afford excellent accommoda-
tions for guests.
For further information regarding
the Sapphire country, call on any agent
OF the Southern railway, or write @. A

Asheville, N. C.
Few regions have been, are richly
endowed by nature than that famous
section of Western North Carolina
practically termed the Land OF the
Sky" 1t has a climate so dry and
health-giving that it has become known
the world over as natural sanitarium
for the cure of all troubles of pulmon-
ary nature.
Asheville, the centre of this beauti-
full mountain-homed plateau, is the
highest city east of Denver, and is a
busy, thriving place of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, with all the moderisms Of city
life. The city lies just at the point
where the beautiful Frence Broad and
Swannanoa rivers JOIN their crystal
waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs
many people of wealth haye built beau
tiful and expensive homes, most nota-
BILE among them being the chateau of
Mr.. George W. Vanderbilt, which with
it's great estate, has cost upwards OF
four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year sesort,
for the great mountains protect it in
the winter from the cold winds, and
it's sumer climate is made delightful
because Of its altitude.
