WISE WORDS.

Nothing Is gained by depreclating the
difficulties of any undertaking. TO
look them In the face couragcously,
and to estimate them fairly, will gem
orally enable us TO overcome them;
while. IL they are hidden or ignored,
they will, all unconsciously to our
selves, bar the way TO success.
Home is the first and most import
ant school of character. II Is there
that every human being receives his
best moral training, or his worst; for
1t Is there that he imbibes those prin-
ciples of conduct which endure
through manhood.
When you make mistake, do not
look back at If for long. Take the rea-
son of the thing into your mind, and
then look forward. Mistakes are les
sons of wisdom. The past cannot be
changed; but the future is yet In your
power.
We are apt TO measure ourselves by
our aspiration instead of our per-
formance. But in truth the conduct of
our lives is the only proof of the sin
cerity of our hearts.
Every person is responsible for all
the good within the scope of his abili-
ties, and for no more. and none can
tell whose sphere is the largest.
Nothing brings more substantial joy
than days work well and honorably
and successfully done.
The high lights of existence are daz-
zling. but the shadows are more agree
able in the long run.
Not wealth nor ancestry, but hon
orable conduct and noble disposition
make men great.
Jealousy is sustained as often by
pride as by affection.
The greatest homage we can pay to
truth Is &c use II.

RURAL HYGIENE.
The Possible Influence Of the Countr
Doctor on Public Health.

Prevention rather than cure is the
great object of medical science to-day,
and while the city has its peculiar
perils, so has the country. In recent
essay In the New York Medical Rec
ord, Dr. George NJ. Kober, of Washing
ton. II. C., said:
When we consider the fact that over
seventy per cent. of our population re-
side In rural districts, that the "bone
and sinew" of these are engaged In
agricultural pursuits. and that they do
not enjoy the benefits of enforced sani-
tation by local health boards. we see

prevalence OF typhoid fever in rural
districts could he materially checked
by disinfecting excretes with three

the adoption of the earth closet sys-

since Infection Is often spread through

Lightning and the Trolley.

During thunderstorm at any time
Of day, says the Kansas City Star.
the lights in the trolley cars of the
Metropolitan system are always
turned on by order of the company.
There are two reasons for II. One
II for the protection of the car and
the other for protection of the pas
sengers. When the lights are on and
the ear Is ut a standstill the trolley
pole becomes lightning rod. When
a car is In motion, the electric current
which leaves the power house and is
carried ai0ng on the trolley wire,
passes down through wire In the
trolley pole into the motors of the car.
setting them In motion, and then
down through the wheels into the
rails, by which the current returns
20 the power house. Thus the troll
ley wire, the car, and the rails form
complete circuit. When ear Is
mt standstill the connection between
the trolley and the motor is cut on
breaking the circuit. However, turn
Ing on the lights has the same effect
as putting the car In motion. that Is II
completes the circuit. That Is the
exact reason why the lights are on
during thunderstorm.
Should lightning strike n trolley
wire the flood of current would he car

III this car should be in motion or the
lights be turned on so that the circuii
with the rails ~ complete, there would
be chance tnat the extra current of
the llghtning's stroke would pass
down the trolley pole and through the
car into the rails without doing any
harm. The principle Is the same as
that of lightning rod, which carries
the electricity of n bolt of lightning

no connection the current of bolt
Of lightning would burn out the mo

Atlanta, in tho presence of the relatives
of the bride and q few invited friends.
Roses, goldonrod and ferns in all thoir
autumnal beauty and fragrance were
tastefully arranged in tho parlor. The

Mendelsshon's wedding march was ron
Gered on the piano by Miss Clara May
Holderby. While the solemn wo-ds
which made them man and wife were
spoken by the minister, the pianist struck
tho soft, sweet notes, "Oh, promise NO."
Tho bride carried in one hand - beautiful
bouquet of bridal roses and ferns. Tho
many handsome and valuable bridal pres
ents testify to tho estocm Mr.. and Mrs.
Vickery are held by their friends. Each
one of the guests wero given neat box
of the BRIDES cake with the request to
"dream over it." Mrs. Vickory is
young lady of personal graccs and rare
attainments and will be quite an acquisi-
ton to Westminster. She resided with
her parents in Atlanta until last April
when they moved to Kirkwood to mako
their home with their married daughter,
Mrs. Austin. Mr.. Vickery is model

After spending day or two in and
around Atlanta, tho happy couple left for
their home at Westminster. a host Of
friends join in wishing them long life
of happiness and prosperity. a. I..o.
