Wonderful Endurance of CASTOR

Wonderful Endurance of CASTOR
County Veteran.
Among the attendants upon bar
becue and political speaking in an ad-
joining county to the one in which this
city Is located, last Saturday. was a
farmer named H. A. Terrence, a Con-
federate veteran, who was during the
civil war twice officially reported dead,
and who was twice shot through the
head with minnie balls, and yet who Is
now able to work on his farm, attend
public gatherings and do almost any
thing else he wants to, with the ex-
ception Of reading. his eyesight allow
ing him to write but not read.
Mr.. Terrence, while fighting at Get
tysburg, was shot squarely through the
head, the ball passing through the right
eve and going out the back Of his neck.
He was left for dead by his comrades.
and he lay on the field amidst the thou
sands of dead bodies until next day.
when he regained consciousness.
when I came to myself" said the
old soldier, II at first thought 1 was
blind, but after working with my left
eye I managed to see things around
me, and I got to my feet. I saw few
Yankees at q distance and they mo-
toned me to come to them. l went
any they took me to hospital. where
I remained until was exchanged and
able to 20 home. I had been reported
dead, and my folks had worn mourning
for me for six months when I walked
in upon them."
After remaining at home for some
time, and despite the fact that he had
only one eye, Mr.. Terrence yearned for
the life of a soldier, and rejoined his
regiment. In The fighting around
Richmond he was again shot in the
head, the ball entering near where the
former one had made its exit, and COM
ing out through the right eye, in the
same place where the first ball entered.
Again the official report from his Of
ficers placed Mr.. Terrence upon the list
Of the killed, and once more the folks
at home mourned for him, and wore
black. but, in due time he reappeared
among them and has been there ever
since.
In his section Mr.. Terrence Is known
as a man whom Yankee lead could not
kill, and his case Is a remarkable in
stance Of physical endurance.-Char

THE BOER AND THE sOUTHERNER
The Two Hold the Same View Of the
Negro and His Capacity.

The Two Hold the Same View Of the
Negro and His Capacity.
An article in the last number Of The
Fortnightly Review, entitled, Negro
philism in South Africa" is Of extraor-
binary interest because 1t describes
collision Of sentiment concerning the
Negroes which exists in this country
also.
The article starts out by saying that
1.-THE body of sentiment in England"
which he calls "Negrophilism," "coun-
ted for more 100 years ago than it does
today" when 1t has largely spent its
force" Like sentiment in this country
also may be said to count for very
much less than it did half century
ago. The debarring Of the Negroes
from the ballot box, which Is now so
universal in the southern states. pro-
vokes relatively little resentment in the
north. The run Of people here seem to
be wholly Indifferent to the matter.
The attitude of the Beers toward
"Negrophilism' has been and is, it
seems, very similar to that Of our own
southern people. "The Boer," Mr.. M.
]. Farrelly, the writer in the Fort
nightly tells us, challenges as untrue,
as unscriptural, as a standing danger
to life and property, and as a menace
to the civilization, the Negrophilist.
Observation-Disclosures theory" The
Beers dread Of English interference, he
says, is due very largely to the i'm
pressions and apprehension that 1t will
bring to South Africa trouble and con-
fusion by unduly lifting up the Ne
groes, and thus reversing lone Of the
cardinal features Of their native pol
ICY"
Meantime, Of recent years, contact
with the Negroes in Africa has brought
about in the religious missionary So
cieties working there "a very marked
alteration, If not Of ideals, at least Of
prescribed courses" Not even the So
ciete Evangelique of Paris, the pioneers
of French missionary enterprise in
Basutoland, now recommend marriage
between black and white, and the Lon
don and Scottish missionary societies
have come to show like reserve. The
Jesuits and Trappists in Matabeleland
and in Natal do not deny the validity
of such a union, but they do not en-
courage 1t. At all the missionary CEN
tres, too, there Is IAN increasing per-
ception that not literary training, but
training to labor Is what is required as
the first European lesson to the black
men," A movement started Of recent
years by the Kaff1rs to form themselves
into a separate church in South Africa
is viewed with disapproval by the mis-
sionaries as fraught with possible pol
itical danger. President Steyn and the
Beers generally are troubled by the re-
port of 1.-The importation from the Unit
ed States of Negro bishop Of an Afri-
can Episcopal church" 1.-THE people
will endure no equality Of black and
white in church or in state" declared
the Transvaal constitution of 1857, and
they are Of the same mind still.
Here is a significant remark by Mr..
Farrelly:
lone principle of the Boer laws with
reference to the Kaffir should centainly
not be interfered with, that Of the in

fences against white women. This Is
not a subject which it is necessary to
dilate on; but all Of South African ex-
perience are agreed that 1t is an abso-
lutte necessity Of existence for Euro
peans. Carrying revolvers Is not al
ways sufficient; there must be. in addi-
ton, the spectacle to the savage Kaf-
frs. denizens Of the towns, as the con-
sequence Of infringing the inviolate
status Of the European"

synonyms to Please Guests.

A "synonymous' entertainment is
one of the best means ever tried for
getting ones guests acquainted and
for removing all stiffness and formal
ity. Before the arrival of her guests
the hostess must make out complete
list of their names and then must set
her wits to work to devise a synonym
for each. No attempt is made at Sc
lecting literal synonyms for the word
or it's parts as spelled.
A few names from a list recently
made out will at least prove suggest
i've, and will give a better idea of the
method of carrying out the plan than
would many words of description:

AS each guest arrives some sort of

Art of Putting Clothes Away.

The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is not only neat,
but economical and generally smart
in appearance. When she comes in
from walk, she never hangs up her
coat by the loop inside the collar; if
she puts it away in the closet she
uses Il coat-hanger-if she leaves it
around the room, knowing she may
need it soon, she dispOses it over the
back of a chair that will keep it in
shape. The skirts of her gowns never
have a stringy look because they are
always hooked and then hung by two
loops. For a tailOrmade skirt she
uses a small coat-hanger with the ends
bent down little: this keeps the
skirt in excellent shape and causes it
to hang in even folds. The strings of
her underskirts are tied and the gar"
ment is hung by the loops, thus never
showing hump where it has rested
OH the hook. For the same reason her
shirt waists are always hung by the
armholes, unless they have hanging
loops. Handsome waists have both
sleeves and body stuffed with tissue
paper, and are then laid in drawers or
boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
slipping a pair of trees into them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet If trees are not available, news
paper will do, if it is stuffed in tight
1t is well to roll each veil on stiff
piece Of paper; a single foil will often
spoil the set of veil and sometimes
even mar the expression of face.
Gloves should always be removed by
turning them wrong side out; they
should then be turned back again,
blown into shape. and each finger
smoothed out. Ties, especially four-in-
hand or golf ties, should be hung to
avoid creasing.
Hats, of course, should be kept out!
of the dust and placed so that the trim
ming will not be disarranged. This
disposition depends so much OH the
hat and the available space that each
woman must use her own ingenuity.
However, it is safe to say that no hat
should be laid fat down on a shelf.

Mayonnaise Dressing.

To make a thoroughly good mayon-
naise dressing allow one egg to half
a pint of OIL half a teaspoonful Of salt,
q dash of cayenne pepper and lemon
juice as required. Stand the Oil and
the egg in the refrigerator until
thoroughly chilled and when about to
mix the dressing place a bowl in a
pan of ice water. Drop the yolk of the
egg carefully into the bowl and set the
white aside. Dip the oil onto the yolk
drop by drop. stirring with a silver
OF wooden fork until 4 smooth paste
is formed. Then continue pouring the
oil, but slightly faster and alternating
with a drop or two of lemon juice.
When the entire quantity of oil is
exhausted add the salt and the pepper
and lemon juice to suit the taste. The
dressing should be rich smooth and Of
about the consistency of thick cream.
If, as sometimes happens, it shows a
tendency to curdle in the progress of
making or becomes too thick so it will
not pour from the spoon, add little
of the white of the egg beaten stiff.
If in spite of all these precautions the
dressing should curdle. take another
egg and begin again dropping the
curdled mayonnaise slowly into it and
stirring vigorously all the WHILE

The person who is blind loses much

all that is going on. This she accom-
plishes with the help of a companion
of the same sex. but much younger
(the woman is herself saventy-seven
years old, who takes her from place
to place, explaining everything.
Thus an afternoon at an art eXhibi-
ton results in both coming away with
an excellent idea of the most notable

various new buildings is described at
length; the bindings and illus ,1ations

Even the new operatic and dramatic
events are attended with great regu.

in the fullest detail; the scenery and
properties are the subject Of comment
and the people in the audience furnish
material for discussion between the
acts.
