The Delicious Guinea Pig,

We do not yet appreciate the tailless cavy
as an article Of human food. In France
they sell them for rabbits, and there are
three farms in this country where they are
reared and which export them to France,
one farmer alone exporting over 150, 900
of the little beasts. The flavor Of the meat
is said to be identical with that of rabbit
meat. These animals need constant at.
tention to keep them out Of mischief, as
they are little demons to fight, and they
have habit Of chewing up whatever frag
ments they find scattered about till they
die of gastric congestion. In their habits
they are subject to unaooountable panics,
and often rush about squeaking, and then
huddle together quietly for the rest Of the
day. They are very prolific, and the young
are not blind like the young Of the rabbit,
and often when only two days old, 1t Is
said, will eat grass and sop.
On the farm they are fed on sop made
Of milk and stale but not sour bread,
along with green stuff, barley and hay.
In guinea pig farming, as in quail farm.
ing. it Is admitted that large profits are
made-due no doubt to the fact that there
is so little competition. Probably the rab'
bit you SO much enjoyed at your hotel din
ners when touring in France was simply
the humble cavy dressed up.-Chambers'

Enslish Comments on America.

Some amusing storie illustrating Eng.
lish ignorance of American affairs are told
by London resident who is at home in
literary and political circles.
At a literary reception Mr.. Lowell was
referred to as one Of the masters Of Amer.
ican poetry, who had never seemed capable
Of doing anything else.
II think you are wrong" said one IN a
critical tone. "Mr. Lowell wrote several
books which were we'll worth reading"
"What are they?" asked the first COM
mentator on American literature.
"'The Autocrat' and the other Break.
fast Table Books, /" was tho serene reply.
As every one In the group looked wise
and innocent, it was evident that the rival
claims Of DR.. Holmes to the authorship OF
those Breakfast Table Books were not
suspected.
A graduate Of an English university was
amazed by a reference to the American
civil war which was casually made In con.
yersation at clubhouse.
"When did it take plaoer he asked. 81
had supposed that there had been no fight.
ing in America since George Washing.
toms revolution in the time Of George
ILL.,"
He had read for degree at an English
university and had travelled extensively on
the continent and in the far east, but had
never heard of the greatest civil conflict Of
ancient or modern timesl-Youth's Com.

McLaurin and Charleston.

In the States effort to make
judicial or an impartial Interpretation OF the
situation. that paper was itself honest enough
to give McLaurin credit for his aid 10
Charleston In the matter of the Exposition.
While this newspaper fully sustains Nc
Laurin In bis vote on the Paris treaty OF
peace, and while we know Of no reason FOR
obiecting to his views on the ship subsidy,
yet we feel personally more grateful TO him
for helping Charleston than for anything thai
he has done in Washington. We have op-
posed the States appropriation for that exhi
bition, but the Government of the United
States ought TO have given pittance for the
enterprise. We think If McLaurin's aid mao
been asked at the right time that the appro-
priation could have been had. There Is nc
denying the fact that McLaurin can get more
things In Washington for South Carolina than
all our Congressman. and this includes the
Senior Senator. Whatever McLaurins De-
mocracy may be, he holds good hand IN
Washington. About all that this Stale has
gotten in the recent past, or will likely get in
the near future, has been or will be at the
hands of McLaurin. The man who best
seryes his State Is the best representative
and is entitled to the thanks of his con
stituents.

The Mountaineer's Prediction.

Our respected contemporary, The GreenVille
Mountaineer, predicts that some OF the news
papers in this State will abandon Ibis Nc.
Laurin'sI standards before the year 1901 has
ended" AS far as we know ourself we
have no idea of abandoning support OF those
who favor the ratification OF the Paris treaty
of peace, If McLaurin is the only candidate
standing for that act, he is as sure To get our
vote as we 60 to the polls. Aside from the
principle, and If personal feeling alone gov.
erned, 1t Is quite likely that we would vote
for I.atimer. He and the editor OF this news
paper have been personal friends for years,
and nothing would afford this edliur more
pleasure than 10 support him, but as long as
be opposes the ratification OF the treaty OF
peace and censures the government for hold
ing on to the results OF the Spanish war, this
editor cannot have that pleasure. We would
vote for no man on earth who opposed THESE
things, If there was an advocate In the race.
We are an American and we favor progress
along all the lines. We favor the canal and
would support an advocate OF that measure
against anybody who might be opposed 10 H.
Without being we'll Informed on the SUBJECT
We should vote for the ship subsidy, believing
the whole country, and especially the South,
would be benefited.
Never having been In politics, and having
no inclination in that direction, we can afford
TO sneak our mind, with the consc' sc'ousness OF
doing our duty. We have no pride of opin-
lon, and, If a campaign is carried on in good
humored manner, we have no sort OF feeling
except feeling of regret when duty calls ut
to vote against much respected friends. We
know that there are good men who believe
that we ought to have dishonored the army
by throwing away results of valor "nich
brought victory in the recent war, and we
would not willingly offend any one OF them
We shall, therefore. seek to be respectful OF
their opinions. while expecting them TO show
the same regard for US. 1t Is better that We
recognize the fact that this is free country
and that we have the glorious privilege OF
thinking as we please on public questions.
In politics no man is his brothers keeper.

Bedroom Closets.

The sleeping room that hasn't closet
should have corner cupboard. Get some
of the iron brackets that sell for 10 or Is
cents pair and have some wide boards
cut to fit the corner. Put up two or three
shelves, according to height, and on the
bottom of the lowest nail oleats into whioh
to screw the hooks to hang your gowns
upon. Fit a board to the corner on the
floor and have narrow board or molding
tackled to the front edge. This is for shoes.
Hang curtain from the edge Of the top
shelf, making 1t long enough to reach
quite to the floor and full enough to hang
IN graceful folds This is the best substi-
tute for q closet we know Of unless you
can afford a wardrobe. Denim, figured or
plain, makes good drapery. Get 1t to
correspond with the color of the room.

HEART IN TRADE.
The Experience of a Man Who Failed
Honestly and Was Helped to His Feet.

Even trade has its romances. The other
day some merchants who have grown gray
in She pursuit of the practical and material
were swapping stories Of their experiences
Said one, now millionaire:
"While I was still attending school, my
father was compelled to suspend business
He and another man owned u mill up In
New England and little retail dry goods
store in Brooklyn. My father attended to
the mill and his partner to the retail busi-
ness. One day my father learned that his
partner had absconded after raising all the
money he could on tho firms name. My
father came to New York, and found that
after using every dollar he had in the
world he would still owe $500. He turned
his assets over to his creditors, borrowed
the $500 necessary to pay his creditors
dollar for dollar and went to work on
salary. After several years of hard work
he paid back the $500, and was free from
debt once more.
"At that time my father was superin.
tendent Of big Sunday school in Brook.
lyn. One Of the women who took an in.
terest in the school was an old maid who
had known my father for years. She knew
about his experiences, and was determined
that he should be Independent again. So
she went to half dozen leading members
of the church and told them she wanted to
borrow some money to start dad in busi
ness again. All responded cheerfully, and
one day my father was surprised at visit
from the woman.
"'Mr. - she said, here is $1,000
with which you are going to start in busi.
ness for yourself. Naturally my father waa
startled. Lord bless you, Miss -, he
said, i can't take that. Besides, I do not
want to 20 into business again. am sat-
isfied as am There is the money she
replied, 'and you are going into business.
Now, don't delay about It,. The old man
still demurred, but she insisted, and after
awhile she got his consent to use tho
money. That was the foundation Of 'out
present business. Father opened little
dry goods store and left school to help
him. Two years later father went to one
of the men who had contributed toward
his capital and handed him the $500 he
had advanced. What's that forF he
asked. Why, that is the money you gave
Miss -- to start me in business said
dad. Nonsense said he. you don't owe
me anything, old man. Eliza came to me
and asked me for $500, and gave it to
her. If she had asked for $1,000, she
would have got 1t just as quick. made
no record of it, and don't want it.. you
have got to take it, said dad. Now,
please, DON'T said he; 1T will upset all
my bookkeeping Father insisted, though,
and finally had his way. Most Of his other
creditors talked the same way, but all had
to give in. Within week back came the
money with letters, asking father to give
the money to the poor If he did not want
to use it himself. 1 am glad to say we

CONFEDERATE RELIC.
The Chandelier that Shed the Last
Light OH the DissOlving COnfed.
crate Cabinet.

Mr.. j. Hayne McDlll of this city is the
lucky owner of one of the most valuable and
highly priced relics in the last scenes of the
Southern Con nfederacy. 1t is no less an object
than the chandelier that lighted the room In
the Burt Mansion" In which JEFF Davis and
his cabinet held their last meeting. 1t Is OF
bronze, with heavy centre, with four old time
gas fixtures. from which glass pendants hang,
and about which are flat bronze chains.
MIR. McDill Is very proud of his recent ac.
quisition, and thinks OF sending it to the
Charleston Exposition. where IL may he view
ed by visitors. After the Exposition has had
enough OF II, he proposes to sell 1t II buyer
should offer fair price for IL, but If no one
should be willing TO part with considerable
roll OF greenbacks for the privilege Of taking
the relic home, he will bring II back to Abbe-
Vile, when he will hang II in his parlor, and
from which he and his children, and all his
visitors may view 1t and drink from it's sight
something OF the patriotic inspiration which
moved our fathers to go 10 war for cause
which they thought just and holy.
AS time goes on, and as the intervening
years widen the space between the historic
dead past and the living present these relics
will shed lustre on the receding years, and
have valne which increases with the lapse
Of time They can serve only TO remind US OF
our glorious record In the dim past when our
fathers sacrificed all for their country. He
bought the relic for a mere trfie, but has al
ready been offered many times the price
which he paid for 1t.

ID Oesn't Recognize McLaurins Work

1t il q matter OF regret that the News and
Courier Is not disposed 10 recognize Nc
Laurin's friendly act in securing the govern
ment exhibit for Charleston's big show. No
matter what McI.aurin's faults, 1t does not
seem we'll for those who receive his favors TO
show ingratitude. From our own stand
point, we try to be friendly with all those
who are friendly to US. To their faults we
try TO be little blind, and to their virtues
we try to be very kind, or words to that
effect.
We notice, too, that the Washington CORES.
poudent, R. NJ. L., has, like the headline
man, undertaken to write editorial or other
opinions.
1t is little strange If the News and Courier
pays for such pieces as appeared from the
capital last Monday. The Office boy might
grind out that by the yard. Ordinarily r. NJ.
l.. is a most interesting correspondent, but
when he enters the field Of speculation as TO
political matters away down in South Caro-
lima. he is not so very interesting for the
reason that his utterances suggest the Idea
that they were dootored or written bodily by
the office boy in the printing office.
