had almost given up in despair and
felt that l was doomed and ruined,
and knew that 1 would soon go to my
grave disgraced and dishonored.
While bordering over my helpless
condition I thought of you and the
great work you were engaged in and
wrote you, as you will no doubt re-
member, explaining my condition. l
received a very kind and sympathetic
letter from you; and to my heart it
was the first ray of hope that had re-
ceived in many day. In that letter
You stated that / could be cured by the
remedies of the Kelley Institute, and

myself under the treatment and follow
instructions. So on Sep,
TENDER morning, you remember, left

couraged and as melancholy as a per-
son could be for the Kelley Institute

upon this picture for it is a sad one
to me, and have told you of it before.

look at the other picture, which is far
more pleasant When l arrived at the
Institute and was greeted by you so
warmly, and your other attendants,
your kind words of sympathy and en-
couragement were precious to me, and
shall live in my memory as long as life
shall last. You know how I entered
on the treatment and tried to follow
your instructions. never passed n

week. l felt like shouting. I could
scarcely believe it, aud yet I knew 1t
was true, and that / was saved from
death and destruction, and restored 20
manhood again all through the mercy
of God and your devoted kindness and
the fundamentally of the Kelley
cure. l have held it ever since.
I still remain cured. and by Gods
help expect to remain so can

One reason why there is not more
good being done is because so many
people want to wait until tomorrow
to begin.
God never forgets the man who is
willing to take hard place.
Men furnishing for Righteousness
cannot be fed on flowers of rhetoric.
If you would grow more in grace, try
praying more for people you don't like.
A flower will have something sweet
to say to you, no matter where you
put it.
The stained rosewood of religiosity
has ever been one of the most fash
ionable finishes amongst the worldly.
There is no use in praying for God
to open the windows Of heaven Until
you bring all the tithes into the store
house
Men shun the light that points out
the pitfalls on the way because it also
reveals their rags.
The man who breaches only for
bread and butter never breaches the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
Many a man who asks God to lead
| him when he goes to prayer meeting
suffers the devil to guide him when he
goes to vote
True self-control handles the guides
more than the brakes.
The greatest admirers Of religion
are frequently those who need it.
So many stumble in the Christian
walk because they are looking back.
Nothing will kill man quicker than
perpetually feeling his own pulse.
If we should but use our joys to re-
mind us of God we might have more
of them.
Many men are like most machine
they are good for most work wher
they make the least noise.
The pastor who tries to carry his
whole church on his shoulders will
soon be very lame in the back.

NORTH CAROLINA SECOND.
Occupies Prominent Position at The
Great Paris Fair.

Great Paris Fair.
Letters recently received from Mr..
r. X. Bruner, in Paris, who went over
to look after the receipt and installa-
tion of North Carolina's exhibits there,
are quite gratifying in the news they
contain regarding the States COM
parative prominence. California, in
its usual aggressive, go-ahead way.
stands first which is no surprise TO
those who have seen that States ex-
tengiye advertising In the past and ex-
amined its exhibits at the recent ex-
positions on this side of the water.
But 1t is rather an object lesson to
some Of our Northern and Western
neighbors to find North Carolina
standing second, as she undoubtedly
does in the quality and quantity and
diversity Of the material shown. 1t Is
noticeable that in the main Palace OF
Forestry the finest colored trans
parency there, a great and noble pic
ture FIVE feet by four in size, is a
scene from Western North Carolina,
showing in its wide sweep Of forest
covered mountains, the wonderful
combination of commercial worth and
aesthetic beauty OF that favored coun-
try.
The timber exhibit OF this State is
more complete than any other shown,
although individual specimens do not,
of course, compare in size with the
great redwoods of the West. In min
ing and minerals about the same con-
ditions prevail, our native ores and
other economic minerals being very
complete in their series as samples Of
our great underground wealth.
The exhibit of native medicinal wild
plants and herbs seems to be the only
one there at present and will no doubt
be a unique display. Gold nuggets and
silver nuggets, and a dazzling display
! of native gems cap the exhibit SO far
as beauty and intrinsic value are con-
cerned.
The mounted game birds of the
| State are feature ard large display
| of photographs of North Carolina
scenery give the visitor much better
idea Of our State man he could have
had before.
Everything is very much behind
and it will be two months pelore al
exhibits are in place. The United
States, however, are ahead of any
other nation in their preparations anG
have received concentrations from
high quarters on their energy in get
ting there.
Prices are very high and Americans
considered fair game, which seems tt
be usual at the great French expOsi
tons. The Scientific American in :
recent issue instanced boarding house;

been raised from seven CD francs tt

that America is the only country

The Italian Bee.

The Italian is without doubt the
most popular bee in the United States,
aud it certainly has number of good
qualities to recommend it. First, and
what counts III with beginners or
persons who q, e timid or not used to
handling then, is the fact that the
Italians are the most gentle bees and
easiest to handle of all races. They
defend their hive energetically
against robber bees and moths. They
are fairly persistent workers, and
generally cap their honey white,
though not as white as some other
races. The Italians have been very
much improved of late years. Some
are almost golden yellow, very beau
tiful indeed. Some beekeepers say
that the extra yellow ones are not so
vigorous, nor such good workers, but
so far as 1 have experimen with
them, do not as a rule find such to
be the case. lam trying a number Of
different strains to determine fully
their merits and dement's, side by side
in the beeyard. The imported Ital-
ians are generally more leather
colored and somber-hued bee. The
Italians are larger than the brown
German and work on red clover more
readily. Their most serious fault is
that they do not enter the sections as
readily as we could desire. The
queen is very large and powerful ani
easily found, while with the brown
German it is just the reverse; tn,

very hard to find in a populous col

Tie the Cow HumanelY.

The rigid stanchion is not in good
repute among humane dairymen. 1t is
o relic OF barbarism that should be
fought and driven ont of every COM
munity where the COW is valued at her
true worth. There is no advantage
in the rigid stanchion in any way, and
it exists because we are accustomed
to it. 1t became a feature Of the
cattle and dairy barn in times when
men thought very little about the com.
fort of the beasts they owned.
OF late years great many inven.
tons for tying the COW humanely have
been brought forward. Most Of them
tie the cow in such way that she can
freely turn and lick herself. At cAlr-
ing time q COW should not be tied a.
all, but permitted to occupy boy
stall where her motions can be free.
Some of the latest inventions are
patented and some are not. The fea,
tt.res of them that appeal to us most
are those that regard the comfort OF
the COW. The secondary features
look to keeping the COW clean. IL
tying some of them use a rope OF chair
that goes around the neck of the COW
and move on pole placed either per
pendicularly or horizontally. It will
pay oil dalrymen that have the rigid
stanchion to investigate the newer
and better methods. All of our agri.
cultural colleges that are paying any
attention to live stock use some one
or more of these approved methods Of
tying and can give all the information
desited to any that apply.

Japanese Love Locks,

In Japan little girl CT nine years
old wears her hair tied up in red
scarf bound round the back of the
head. The brow is left bare, except
for couple of locks, one on each tide.
When she has arrived at manageable
age, the fact is ,signified by the comb
ing her hair forward and doing it up
in the shape of a fan or butterfly and
adorning it with silver cord and balls
of various colors. A widow who de.
sires to marry again signifies her
wishes by putting tortoise shell comb
horizontally at the back of her head
and twisting her hair round it. An
inconsolable widow-they are very
rare-curls her hair short and wears
no adornment of any sort.
