received from the dispensary. We
state it mOdcstly when we say the
present system of liquor selling is rob
bing the people of the State of $50 for
every dollar paid to the State treasurer
for educational purposes. The State
board of control is sending out of orr
State each year ut least 81, 1000. 900, 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 sense Of honesty and
fairness to lose sight of the few dol
lars that may come to it through those
who love liquor to forego the imagi-
nary pleasure of holding up the hands
OF those who cry, personal liberty"
when that personal liberty is violative
OF the rights of others, and to join
with us i'll 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
Soutl, Carolina ever failed in Il good
cause! You cannot vote, it is true, but
You can give expression to your orposi-
ton to the liquor traffic by wearing the
badge and by Il thousand acts of YOUR
life, and 1t may be your hand that Shall
drive the tent 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 sclling2 See the Master

changers from the temple, overthrow

| money; and hear Him cry, "Woe unto

serpents, ye generation OF vipers, how
can ye escape the damnatiOn of heil?''
and you will sec that He did not seem
to have n sort of namby pamby citizen
ing against the proprictics Of life. Re-
member that this liquor selling and
liquor drinking is the one great battery
of hell, manned chiefly by the devil
himself, and is shelling the Church of
Christ, singing your brothers all around
you, and you stand as watchmcn ON the
walls OF Zion and must cry out with
warning to those around you. Arise as

Light the fires Ofprohibition on every

HYDROGEN SoIidified.

Professor Dewar's solicitation of
hydrogen is the conclusion of long
campaign in the course of which all
the heavier gases have been first
liquefied and then solicited. At the
Royal Institution, London, last Friday
the professor surrounded tube con-
tanning liquid air, and then by produc-
ing with a pump vacuum in the
hydrogen tube he caused the hydrogen
to freeze into white Opaque solid.
This solid has none of the metallic
properties that chemical theory has
long attributed to hydrogen. The
hydrogen atom is the lightest of atoms
and the gas becomes solicited at a
temperature only few degrees above
the absolute zero. The utility of solid
hydrogen is at present confined to the
laboratory. 1t will facilitate the solidi-
fication of oxygen and the separation
of mixed gases. A few years ago
solid carbonic acid gas was one of the
wonders of the laboratory. Such
gases as nitrogen, oxygen and hydro
gen were thought to be hopelessly case
Gus. There was theory that their
qualification was impossible because
their freezing point was too near the
absolute zero. But by helping the
freezing process on the one hand by
compression and on the other by
evaporation the difficulty has been sur
mounted. Our age knows much more
about the conduct of the atom at very
high and very low temperatures than
it is found, change greatly with tenn
perature. Still we don't quite know
how to change those of lead into those
of gold.

The Best-Loved Woman.

The world loves a true and noble
woman more than the greatest beauty
that ever lived or the most brilliant
intellect. Within the memory of
every one there are noble, womanly
lives, which have been dearer and bet
ter to us than the most brilliant wo-
men of history. Not for the beauty of
a Helen of Troy or a Cleopatra, nor FOR
the brilliancy of George Sand or a
Joan of Arc would we sacrifice these
lives. Indeed, if we had to choose be-
tween one or the other, we would wipe
from the slate of history those historic
characters rather than destroy the
sacred influences of noble mother,
sister or wife which have shaped and
formed our careers.-A. S. Atkinson,
M. D., in Home Companion.
