No better system of hygeia was ever
devised than that which God prescribed
to His ancient people. That part of the
Levitcal law which was designed to reg
ulate the diet and daily habits of the
Jews. was founded upon tie strictest
principles of sanitary science. The clean
illness of person which it enjoined, and alb
stinence from every article of food that
is injurious in its character, show their
good effect in the Israelites of the pres
ent day. They are remarkably robust
and vigorous people, moro free perhaps
from cutaneous, eruptive, and malarial
diseases. Christ came not to destroy the
good features of even the Ceremonial
law, but to fulfill. Those great principles
which He laid down for the regulation
of our moral life stand Immediately re-
lated to our physical health. For godli-

promise of the life that now is, as well
as that which is to come" If a man had

Governor Aycock Right.

elizabeth City Economist.)
Charlie Aycock's a man of genius, but
he is more than that. He is rare COM
bination of genius and hard common
sense-a combination so rare indeed, that
he who has it rides upon the high tide
of life and becomes great master among
men. Vance had it to d remarkable de-
gree. He was a great master without the
lash and the scepter. His marvellous good
sense taught him that men could be more
easily led than driven Castor, the
greatest of all Cardinals sons, the great
est full iedged, alf-ronnd genius, the
most blessed in his gifts, the most varied
in his attachments, the most elegant in
his accomplishments, the most devoted
in his love for his State, had in his con-
stitutional conformation but that one
blemish. He was not a man of hard horse
sense. He owned one of the richest plan
tatons in Hyde county, and it brought
him in debt every year, so that old Ham
Jones once said to him, after CASTOR had
told him of his losses in his farming.
Judge. don't you think you would make
a good speculation by giving your planta-
tion away" CASTOR did not know the
difference between six cents and six and
quarter. The deficiency of horse sense
was the only blemish in his great pyha-
midal character
But our philosophy is running away
with the thread of our narrative and we
must call halt. When we get on Gas
ton he always "gets away with us"
We took our ten cent Faber in hand
to speak of Governor Aycock in a new
role of distinction; not as an orator,
scholar, statesman, patriot, good Chris
tian man, but as plain, practical, every
day good sense man, as a man who can
see the inside of a grind stone by look
ing in at the hole in the middle of it.
as we'll as the best of us. With all his
gifts of genius, and they are multiform,
the greatest of ALL as we think, is his
"horse sense Well bet a nickle that
he knows the difference between six
cents and six and a quarter, that he
wouldn't buy horse without examining
his teeth, and the white spots on his
hinder legs nor interview mule from
his hindsights. And we have additional
proof of all this, from what we see of
a change he has recently made in us
executive duties.
Many of our best Governors have been
complained of for the way they ran the
executive pardon mill. They have leaned
too much to mercy's side, and ground
every convict's grist without asking many
questions, whose friends could get g.
the blind side of placid judge and will
ing solicitor and jury who have judge
aud solicitor for a breast work TO cover
the outrage upon an indignant public.
| Charlie Aycock has changed all this and
! has put lot of red tape in the way OF
| the convicts who have broken into the
| penitentiary and want to get out and
i. start a new trade in the same business in
| which they had failed and had laid up a
i capital to start anew. That's practical
! and it is proof to us of Governor Ay-
cocks horse sense.

How Schley Explains the
Charges Made Against Him.

First-His temporary withdrawal from
Santiago was because of letter from
Admiral Sampson, dated May 20, 1898, in
which he said: "If the Spanish ships
have put into Santiago they must come
to either Havana or Clenfuegos. =
Our best chance of success is to hold
these two points-Cienfuego and Havana.
Until We receive more definite informa-
tion we shall continue 10 hold Cienfue-
gos and Havana. Hold your squadron eff
Cienfuegos."
Seeond-Having made a reconnaissance
to develop the enemy's position and incl
dentally to injure or destroy the Colon,
moored well up in the harbor, the pres
ence of the enemy was determined and
it was decided not to risk serious disable
ment until reinforcements arrived.
Third-The loop" of the Brooklyn was
the crucial and deciding feature OF the
combat and of decided advantage. De-
cause of the course of he Spanish fleet
and the Brooklyn heading eastward to
meet it she would have blanketed the fire
of the eastern vessels OF the !leeet on
changing their courses TO the westwa I'd
and between them and the Spanish fleet.

RELIGION AND HEALTH

could not do better than strictly to OBJ
serve the precepts OF the Gospel. They
require abstinence from all excuses in
eating and drinking. and from everything
that could iniure or abuse the body.
And then, they are intended to regulate
and restrain the passions as we'll as the
appetites. They suppress the ebullition
of temper, and the disposition to fret
and worry under the trials and burdens
of life. There can be no doubt that the
maintenance of an equable disposition is
tributary in no small degree to the pres
ervaton Of good health. II, as the Bible
affirms, the wicked man 'shall not live
out half his days" it is not only because
he is more exposed by reason of his as
Socations to acts of violence, but also
because he INDUCES in those excuses,
and gives way to those outbursts of
passion, that invariably tend to shorten
life. Insurance companies are always
more ready to take risks on Christian
men than on those whose habits do not
conform to the regulations and restraints
of a religious life.

A Tragedy of the Dismal Swamp.
(Richmond News.)

According to the press dispatches
colored citizen of this Commonwealth fell
asleep a few days ago in the Dismal
Swamp, having solaced his soul and graft
fled his appetite with reflection con-
sisting of several bottles of beer and sew
eral boxes of sardines. He sat against
tree, happily somnolent, filled with food
and fluid, careless of the work of the
Constitutional Convention or his future
suffrage prospects.
His mouth had fallen apart in an ap-
palling aperture, when along came CO.
luber Constructor, (the official name of
black snake) exploring the swamp
for amusement and profit, presumably a
young and ambitious reptile seeking an
opening. He found it in Hammus
America Africanus and proceeded to in
trof'"He himself. According to the dis
patches, he did it by crawling down the
throat OF our replete fellow citizen be-
ing not the first reptile in this State to
get deeply into an unobservant colored
person.
Investigation of the negro has usually
resulted disastrously to the negro, and
this case was no exception to that rule.
1t is also true that the colored brother
on former occasions, as on this, has got
ten it in the neck because of this open
disposition and that those who have con-
fided in him too far have been stuck.
Coluber Constructor choked America
Africanus to death by obstructing his
wind pipe but found that he had made a
bad bargain--had, in fact, been taken
in, although not completely; for he could
no further go nor no deeper penetrate.
The negro was left in the unusual posi-
tion OF dead man telling the cause and
manner of his death by tail from his
own lips.
The tragedy in some respects resem-
bles that related by the late Innes Ran
dolph in which negro and cat fish
(Pilodictis Olivaris) were found drown
ed together leaving an unsettled ques-
ton
Whether the niger a-fishin' had gone
Or the fish had gone out aniggerin'.
In this transaction, however, there
seems TO be no doubt which was the
aggressor. 1t is not known whether Colu-
Der Constructor was melted by idle Gu
riosity, by philosophical thirst for knowl-
edge and exploration, an ignoble thirst
for beer or other considerations. He was
undoubtedly an intruder, but instead of
disturbing the sleeper by wrapping on his
outside put him forever at rest by STOP
ping off the atmosphere from his inside
Presumably Coluber Constructor was slain
after he had been extracted. Therefore
both parties are equally punished and
the Dismal Swamp is deprived of two of
its ornaments.

In the Matter OF Useful Reading.

y correspondent whose letter on the
Carnegie library question we regret that
we are unable to publish because of its
great length, makes III the course of it
the true and strong point that the library
which serves the best use for the reader
is the little shelf of books which the boy
or youth gathers as his own possession
These books become his friends and com
panions, and the more Self-dcnial their
purchase has cost him the more he prizes
them and the more thoroughly he reads
them.
The greatest men III our American his
tory have obtained in that way their first
introduction to literature. They began
with a few books, but they mastered
them, reading them over and over again.
Books taken from il circulating library
and hurried through in two or three days
serve no such purpose. Reading them
becomes IA form of dissipation, or GER
tainly If is of no better educating in
t1uence than seeing ii play, even if il is
good. Such reading does not cultivate
the studiouS habit, but rather prevents its
growth. 1t is practically reading for
amusement merely, and practically its
provision by the public is desirable only
so far as efforts generally to entertain
the people at public expense may he call
ed desirable. The reading of good news
papers Is of far more substantial advant-
age.-New York .Saa.
