CHINESE WOMAN PROVERBS

Trust not vain woman. for she is first in her own eye.
 A vain woman is to be feared. for she will sacrifice all for her pride.
 A naughty woman stunhles. for she cannot see what may be in her way.
 Woman Is the ease for that which pains the father; she is balm for his troubles.
 Respect always a silent woman. Great is the wisdom of the woman who hpldeth her tongue.
 A woman desirous of being seen by men is not trustworthy. Fear the glance from her eye.
 The gods honor her who thinkcth long before opening her lips. Pearls come from her mouth.
 Tplst not the woman that thinketb more of herself than another. Mercy will not dwell in her heart.
 A woman that respects herself is more beautiful than single star-more beauti- full than many stars al night.
 A woman who mistakes her place can never return to where she first was. The path has been covered up from her eyes

Healthy Cow. and Wholesome Food

hcaftny COWS ana wholesome Food.
 Good butter, pure butter, so well made that 1t does not need to be reno vated and that has the aroma and la vor which It can obtain only from healthy cows, fed upon wholesome food. and which will be destroyed by uncleanly surroundings, Is the mos, palatable of all the fat foods that man can take, or most of men, and 1t Is al- so one of the most digestible. There may be exceptions among the pure vegetable oils, but there Is none among the animal fats that we know. IL should be regarded as necessity rath- CT than a luxury, particularly for chll- dren and inyalids, and we think that many of them would be benefited by n more liberal use of it. Good food is cheaper than the use of medicine, and we think the dose of cod liver oil So often advised by physicians might well be given up and liberal use of pure cream and good butter be taken In its place to the advantage of the health of the patient in many cases. It Is not economy to limit the use of any whole some food product that the stomach can digest at the risk of enfee5,ed health.-American Cultivator.

How He Knew If.

We had outspanned the wagons on the veldt between Prieska and Ken hard. The donkeys had been driven to the veldt and we, my friend and my self, were talking in the "taal" to a Dutchman named Cert Mnans about the wonders of the universe.
 We mentioned that the world was round. Maans said that he knew 1t.
 This answer was unusual for Boer, so we asked him how he knew. He re- piled:
 "I started to ride to Poortje one dark night through the veldt. and l rode hard all the night, and next morning found myself at the place l started from, so l know the world Is round be- cause I rode round it."-London Stand ard.

False Religions.

Fear Is the dominant thought in all false religions. For that the devotees cut themselves with lances and swing on iron hooks and fall under wheels and hold up the right arm so long that they cannot take 1t down. Fear, bru- tish fear! But love Is the queen In our religion. For that we build temples For that we kneel at our altars. For that we contribute our aims. For that martyrs suffered at Brussels market place and at Lucknow and Cawnpur and Picking. That will yet bejewel the round earth and put 1t .an emerald on the great. warm, throbbing heart of God.
 The world has had many specimens of slandered men and women, their mo- tiyes slandered, their habits slandered -slandered until they got out of the world and then perhaps honored by elaborate eulogIum and tall shaft of granite, all four sides chiseled with the story of how good and great they were. But no one under the heavens or over the heavens has ever been so much slandered as God. Bad men have fought against him and have thought they heard his voice in the crash of a thunderstorm, but have not seen him in the sunshine of the spring morning. Ya3 hAYs- hlamAd. -kim for wrongs

IT makes one tired to read the pro-
ceedings in Congress. When cause
less, cruel, unconstitutional war is
being Waged by President McKin-
ley, at an expense Of 5000 600 day (;
when corporations, trusts and com
hines are reaching their long, grasp
ing fingers deeper down every hour
into the pockets of the people; when
there are 80 many cruel wrongs that
need correcting, then to hear these
old blOats get up and talk and talk
and talk, and do nothing but talk, is
enough to make the common people
despise the authority Of law and hate
the hypocrisy of their lawmakers.

the party has to obey even to the

The letters Spain placed upon Porto
Rico we're Calling, but the chains
the high protectionists are about to
rivet around her will be a far
heavier burden than Spanish ty-

POVERTY AND WEALTH.

The stork flew over a town one day,
And back of each wing an infant lay.
One to rich mans home he brought
And one he left at laborer's cot.
The rich man said, "My son shall be
A lordly ruler DER land and sea-"
The laborer sighed, "Tis the good Gods
will,
That | have another mouth tofill."
The rich mans son grew strong and fair,
And proud with the pride of a million
aire.
His motto in life was, Il i've while you
may"
And be crowded years in a single day.
He bought position and anne and place,
And he bought him a wife with a hand
some face,
He journeyed over the whole wide wo Id,
But discomfort in his heart lay cured
Like a serpent hidden in leaves and
moss,
And life seemed hollow and sold was
dross.
He scoifed at woman and doubted God
And died like a beast and went ack to
the sod.
The son Of the labOrer titled the soil.
And thanked God daily for health and
toll.
He welded for love in his youthful
prime.
And two lives chorded in tune az d tim.
His wants were simple, and SIM e b !

Sale of Maury county phosphate

most any paper you pick up these
days. Our people have no idea the
amount of free advertising the
county is getting abroad. If the
people of Columbia would organize
cooperative concerns for the i'm

way do their part, real live boom
would hit this old town this spring

people would do their part if they
were approached right. The efforts
heretofore made have been too scat

to be worked by a house to house,

$4,000 to obtain his seat in Con.

gave to three representatives in the

to the expenses of bis campaign.

used for corrupting purposes. What
a liberal, appreciative, generous
politician Senator Clark is, to-be-
sure.

CONSUL MACRUM has broken his
long silence to state that he left
Pretoria rather than longer put up
with British eXactions. His mail
and kilograms were stopped by the
censor apparently with the consent
of the subservient administration
aud in every way it was borne in
upon him that there was practically
an alliance between the United
States and Great Britain. This
statement derives additional force
from the fact that Macrum is an
Ohio man, personal friend Of the

THE principle OF the law Of
eminent domain, is sound; but the
abuse of that high privilege is a
dangerous and most unwelcome in
trusion upon the sacred rights of
the private individual. Since eX-
perience has taught us that the
State, with all its laws and com
missions cannot control the public
corporation, the courts should be
exceedingly careful how they vest
new ones with chartered rights.
Before railroads are permitted to in.
wade new territory and run rough
shod over private property, they
should be made to prove almost be-
yond the peradventure of a doubt
that the people along the way, or
the country a, large, will materially
be benefited thereby. The people
already have been candestinely rob.
bed of so m my of their rights, that
| it is next to impossible for the courts
to be too careful or the indIvidual
too jealous Of his rights in the future.
This craze for development of the
country" which in most cases is
nothing more than another term
for the greed for gam, should not be
allowed to cruelty the citizen fol
the benefit Of the corporation. Five
men banded together under the
name of corporation, should not
be permitted to become bandits un.
der the guise of the law. The in
sidious, increasing, tremendou:
power of soulless corporations
trusts and combines in this country
must be abridged and that soon, OF
revolution-the inevitable result Of
people goaded to desperation, will bt

YOURS TO COUNT ON,
MCKennOn 4 Nichols.

HABIT controls communities, and
it seems next to impossible to induce
a change. Just from habit people
empty their ashes on the public
square and streets to blow in the
eyes of every passer by. and just
from habit one administration after
another sends the street cart to
clean up. The street cart is not out
of sight before the same people be-
gin to empty their ashes and waste
paper on the streets again. 1t would
be much more economical. a sight
more healthy and decidedly more
clearly to dump all this dirt in
boxes and barrels, to be emptied and
removed by the corporation cart;
but each individual seems to be
afraid that he will do little more
for his town than his neighbor, and
the administration seems to prefer
to rock along in the same old rut.
Nobody will pretend to give any
good reason why the present loose
way should be continued; but 1t will
doubtless be continued just the
sams.
