expenses incurred by the counties and
towns in the trial, punishment and
support of criminals, who have been
made such by the liquor sold them by
the state, will far more than balance
the money received from the dispen-
sary. We state it modestly when we
say the present system of liquor selling
is robbing the people of the state Of
twenty for every dollar paid to the
state treasurer for educational purpos-
es. The state board of control is send
ing out of our state each year at least
81 100000, and in exchange for it
bringing into the state and distributing
to our people five times the amount in
poverty, wretchedness, disease and
death. ...-
We appeal to every newspaper in
the state that has a sense of honesty
and fairness to lose sight of the few
dollars that may come to it through
those who love liquor; to forego the
Imaginary pleasure of holding up the
hands of those who cry personal lib
erty," when that personal liberty is
violative Of the rights of others, and
to join with us in the effort to remove
the accursed liquor traffic from our
state.
We appeal to the good women of the
state, and when have the women Of
South Carolina ever failed in good
cause? You cannot vote it is true
but you can give expression to your
opposition to the liquor traffic by wear
ing the badge, and by a thousand acts
of your life, and it may he your hand
that shall drive the "Lent nail" through
the head of the monster that is now
actually eating your offspring.
We appeal to the Christian ministers
of the state. Shall those who preach
the gospel enter the field and speak
against liquor selling. See the Master
with scourge driving out the money
changers from the temple, overthrow
ing the table and pouring out their
money and hear him cry, "Woe unto

How Bow-LEGs ARE MADE.-Moth.
ers, in training their little ones to
walk, seem never TO think of how the
bones grow that the bones in chllds
leg are soft, half cartilaginous, and
that it is an easy thing to bend them.
Hence the need of being careful about
having their children walk too soon, or
of keeping them on their feet too long
when they are first learning to walk.
The senseless conduct of many parents
in urging their children to walk pre-
maturely is productive of lasting in
jury. Long before soft bones ought to
have any strain put upon them, you
will see these poor infants made to
stand, and even TO walk, and by the
time they are IA or 16 months old
their legs are bent very considerably.
Pliful and permanent deformities pro-
duced in this way are seen on every
hand. Indeed, a person whose legs
have not been bent, more or less, eth
er outward or inward, by fond paren-
tai ambition, is almost an exception
among us. Under a year let the child
creep; but do not let it wal, seldom,
indeed, stand, and then only for a
moment, and for ysar to IL or 2O
months do not encourage it to walk
much, still less SET it up on its feet to
make it walk.-Good Health.

WE EAT TO MUCH.

OF the many cures in vogue, and
recognized from their records as wor-
thy the name, nine-tenths of them de-
pend upon reducing the diet for their
effectiveness.
The widespread fad during the last
few years has been the "no breakfast
cure" and thousands of dyspeptics
have gained health, the stout have
grown thin and the thin have grown
stout, all through lifting the burden
from over-taxed digestions. An equal
ly popular cure preceding this was the
leaving off of the evening meal-equal'
ly effective, of course, just as "no
midday meal cure" would be if il
should be promulgated.
One of the most splendid cures fol
all ills, in Europe, is the grape cure
practiced in Germany; and it is said
that any one taking the treatment
drops off the wear and tear of five
years-actually renews himself by SO
much. The sanitariums where this
treatment is given are beautifully and
heallhfully situated and comfortably
appointed. The patient is given moth
ing hut unfermented grape juice for a
period of four notwithstanding with
generous allowance, decreased to a
minimum allowance-as little as the
system will bear without great weak
ening-and gradually increased to the
first amount.
At all European spas and American
springs where people are so benefited

How THE OPEN Door WAS Sc.
CURED.-Senator Frye, of Maine, who
was member of the Paris peace COM
mission, spoke at a banquet in Wash
ington one night last week and among
other things he said
"There was but one course 10 pur-
sue, and that was to take the whole oi
the Philippines, as was done. Had the
other plan been adopted there would
have been perpetual war with Spain.
Thank God, what was done by the
Americans has made US one of the
great powers of the world. When a
short time ago some of the nations OF
Europe insisted on taking more OF
China than they possessed already, and
Secretary Hay made a diplomatic pro-
test and said that there must be an

HAD ONLY THE ACE LEFT.-The
sallying forth of Bishop Potter, of New
York, for visit to the Sandwich
Islands, brought forth memories of u
droll experience of the bishop just as
he was once before starting out on
little globe trotting expedition. A
week or so before the right reverend
gentleman's departure, his coachman
had the misfortune to break his arm,
and a newly landed nephew of the un'
fortunate Jehu was called upon to act
as understudy.
On the morning before the bishop
intended sailing he ordered the driver
of the Episcopal chariot to take him
for a round of farewell calls.
"Ask your uncle for the P. P. G.
cards Mrs. Potter gave him." said he.
The understudy found his uncle
quietly sleeping when he went for the
cards, and decided to help himself
without disturbing the slumberer.
After having left cards for his
reverend master at many houses on
the avenue, the driver was halted at
the home of an exceedingly important
church dignitary.
"Leave four cards at this house,
said the bishop.
His card distributing mercury hest.
tated. He scratched his head and
looked foolish. Then he faltered,
"Sure, your riverince, I have only the
ace of clubs left"
The intelligent lad had distributed q
eucre deck iu the name of DIR. Potter,
and that digni6ed prelate was obliged
to leave a trail of apologies in his
wake when he sailed the next morn.

FooD ELEMENTS In FRUIT.-Sugar
starch, gum, dextrine, pectrine, sac
charitable cellulose, organic acids and
other extractive matters are, together
with water, the chief elements in pull
fruits. The sugar is assimilable and is
food. Fruits which contain most o.
it, as bananas, dates and figs, are true
hydrocarbonated foods. Extractive
matters are also nourishing but in 8
less degree, as they are not so digesti
Bile. With these and other rare excep
tions, however, fruits, in the opinion
of NJ. Balland, are little nutritive and
cannot be considered as foods. Their
juices, which please us by their smell
or acidity, are condiments, rather
than foods.

THE PARSON ON THE TURF.

The Rev. Mr.. -, now a member
of the California conference, began his
ministerial career in Iowa. He then
preached at three different places each
Sunday, which gave him twenty odd
miles travelling. He rode horseback
at first; but finding his mare too light
to easily carry his weight, he purchas-
ed road sulky, and, much to his
comfort, discovered that his horse pos
sessed considerable speed. One Sun
day, while going from one church to
another, he overlook man, also in
sulky, driving fine animal. AS our
friend was in a hurry, he passed the
stranger, who kept close behind him
until long stretch of good road was
reached; then he heard his fellow
traveller urging his horse, and before
he knew it he was taking part in a
spirited heat. On reaching a bit OF
rough road both slowed up, and the
stranger sung out:
"That's good mare you've got, my
friend. Does she belong to you ?"
"No," replied Mr.. -, "she belongs
to my master"
"Who's he"
"The Lord" was the response.
"Then 1 guess you don't trot her
much"
"Oh yes, I do"
"What do you trot her against?"
"The devil" replied Mr.. -- very
solemnly.
"Um !-um! 1 guess you get beat
pretty often, then"
"Well," said Mr.. -, 81 rather
think I'm ahead of him now"
Mr.. - afterwards ascertained that
his adversary was the most violent in
fidel in the neighborhood.- d.-Harpers
