tions, anu will work great benefit to
the State, If carried out, and recon.
mend that they be followed.
ut is most gratifying to note the ln-
terest which has lately been taken by
the people of South Carolina in this
subject. Most Of the counties Of the
State are awakening to a realization Of
the Importance of the subject, and
much Is being accomplished.
"In this connection the work which
has been done and is now being doue
by the Southern Railway in this dlrec.
ton deserves commentator, and no
doubt much of the good which has
resulted from these awakening is due
partly to Its efforts.
"Any action looking to the better,
ment of our roads which, in your wis
dom, you may see fit to take. will be
so much done toward the promotion
Of the general prosperity of the people.
Whatever plan you adopt should be
efficient, economical and equitable.
And that you should adopt some plan iS
patent to every thoughtful citizen"

The IsInnd OF Sannr.

The Island Of Samar is the third ISL
and in size In the Philippine Archi-
pelago, being 15G miles from northwest
to southeast, and seventy-hve miles
from east to west, with an area Of
mainland 519S square miles, and de-
pendent islands Of 200 square miles, or
a total OF 54SS square miles. 1t is 49S
square miles larger than Connecticut,
twice the size of Delaware, and over
four and half times as large as Rhode
Island.
The island is almost a continuation
Of the southeastern peninsula Of Luzon,
being separated from it by the Strait
Of San Bernardino, only ten and one
half miles wide. A mountain chain
Of moderate height, scarcely exceeding
100 to 1900 feet, trends from north
TO south, with lower hills toward the
coast. The extensive valleys between
these ranges are watered by a number
OF rivers. There are also four large
lakes, one of which, Calibga, is a nat
ural curiosity on account Of the enor.
nous boulders which line its shores.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Nothing is trflng that can make a
human heart happy or unhappy
Wellspring.
Our grand business undoubtedly is
not to see what lies dlmly at distance,
but to do what lies clearly at hand
Carlyle.
The infinity Of God is not mysterious,
it is only unfathomable; not concealed,
but lncomprehensible; 1t Is clear in.
finity, the darkness of the pure, un.
searchable sea.-John Rusiin.
Patience and strength are what we
need; an earnest use of what we have
nows and all the time an earnest dis.
content until We come to what we
ought to be.--Phillips Brooks.
A life of religion is a life of faith,
and faith is that strange faculty by
Which man feels The presence Of the
invisible, exactly as some animals have
the power of seeing in the dark.-F. w
Robertson.
The aim for which we give our best
strength is everything, the visible sue
cess as nothing. True faith may be the
greatest. goodness and fidelity at the
highest, when visible success Is at the
least. --John Hamilton Thorn.

OF Code, C. Everett.
We are apt TO mistake our vocation 10

WAYS of the Shad.

Shad fishing is hard and precarious
work. The fisherman must count on
having his clothes always soaked with
Icy April water. Often, too, the nets
come in empty, and then there is moth.
ing to do but to make another cast and
hope for better luck.
A remarkable fact noticed by fisher
men is that the identical shad appar.
emily frequent the same streams year
after year. To prove this, they point
out that those taken in Florida waters
are smaller than shad caught in the
north, while in different streams the
fish differ in form, thickness and shape.
After entering the rivers the shad
take little If any food previous to
spawning, but afterward they will bite
at flies or any shining object floating in
the water. They have even been
known TO snap at artificial bait. The
toothless mouth of the adult Is unfit
for feeding upon anything except mi
mute animal matter found in the water.
Food is rarely found in their stomachs,
the only substance commonly seen
there being something closely resem-
bling black mud. From this 1t Is sup
posed that the shad swim with mouths
extended. swallowing the animal life
that swarms in the water and on -
growing plump aud sweet.-Outlng.

Cnnadn's Game Fields.

To one who knows what the vast
solltudes of Northern Canada really
mean the dread of game determination
seems rather uncalled for. The latest
census of Labrador gives 1t popula-
tlon of one man to every thirty five
square miles! This can hardly be
called an inconvelient crowdlng. There
are almost as many persons in a single
East Side New York block as there are
in the whole of Labrador. Why should
game become extinct in this region?
| must confess l can see no reason
why the caribou and the bear and the
other animals should not live out their
lives just as they have always done.
The numbers killed by man must sure
ly be quite l'slgnihcant. The same
conditions obtain in Northern Ontario,
the greater part Of the British Terri
tories, and very large part Of British
Columbia. The date Is far distant
when there will not be sufficient game
and to spare for the sportsman who
Is content to take the bitter with the
sweet and to leave behind the lux
urlousness Of the fashionable resort

FOREIGNERS IN THE CITIES.
L2rgest Proportion in Fall River, Small
est in Montgomery, Ala.

The larger part of the foreign born
population Of the United States Is
found, Of course, in the large cities.
But there are few cities having more
than one.thlrd Of their population for
eign born, and there is no city In which
one-half of the population is foreign
born.
The nearest approach to the latter
condition is found in Fall River, where
4S per cent of the population, lnclud.
ing many French-Canadlans, is foreign
born; Lawrence, Mass, As per cent.
Lowell, Mass. 43: Passaic, n. j., 40;
Woonsocket, r. l., Al Manchester,
Mass, 40; New York, 81; Paterson, 46;
Boston. 80; and in the West, Chicago,
81; Detroit, 33; Milwaukee. 81; Cleve-
land, 50; San Francisco, 81; and Du.
luth, 80
These are the cities having the larg-
est propOrtionate foreign born popula-
ton. The number Of cities in which
native born Americans not only pre-
dominate, but predominant so largely
as to constitute fully or nlne-tenths
of the population, is more numerous.
Binghamton has 50 per cent. of its
population native born and Elmlra has
So. Allentown, Pa, one of the strong.
holds of the Pennsylvania Germans,
has 91 per cent of its population native
born; Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania
capital, has 95 per cent; Washington,
the National capital, has 92; Richmond
and Norfolk, Va. have 90; York, Pa.
has &c. Chattanooga and Nashville,
Tenn, have 90; Topeka, Kansas, has
80; indianapolis has 80, Terre Haute
has 90, Charleston has 95, and Lexing
ton, Ky, &C.
But the American city which comes
nearer to having an exclusively na.
tive population than any other Is, per.
haps, Montgomery, Ala, with 9S per
cent, though Montgomery does not
usually rank among the important
cities Of the United States

where the Muskrat is Found. .

The muskrat Is peculiar to North
America, and is found in all suitable 10.
callties from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc, and from the Gulf of Mexico to
the northern timber limit in Canada,
tenanting the shores of countless lakes,
the banks Of the many river, and the
oozy swamps and muddy, stagnant
pools. 1t is probably most abundant
in the Chesapeake region, and in Mis-.
souri,, Minnesota and Manitoba. 1t
thrlves even In thlckly populated local..
ties and the vicinity of large cities. A
well-known instance Of this is its
abundance in the Hackensack mead
ows, which separate Newark and Jer-
sey City, N. j., where the dome-shaped
houses form one Of the interesting
sights from the railway trains In
some Of the lakes of Missouri and the
marshes of the Chesapeake region
these houses are so numerous as to re-

MODERN WAR CONDITIONS.
Fighting in n Country That 90 ApparS
Peaceful TILES the Nerves.

Today a man may die as soon as the
snemy's long guns, hidden away in the
llstant, cloud-topped mountains seven
niles away, begin TO talk. And over
hat seven miles he must walk with
,autiOn. with a wide interval between
aim and his pals on either hand; he
must lie down at every short halt and
scratch the ground hurriedly with his
little spade at every long one, for the
great shells are sailing toward him,
and he sees by his officers eye and
hears by his commands that it is con-
sldered that he may perish at any mo-
ment, and that precautions are neces'
sary to preserve him. He sees. more
over, how futile those precautions must
be If one Of those monsters bowling
overhead should land as near to him
As the last one did to that blasted tree,
Tor instance, with its scorched, dang
ling limbs and the huge charred assure
n It's stout trunk, or as the one before
lid to the team Of mules in the ambu-
!ance wagon, now screaming, strug.
Cling tumble of harness and bloody
desh.
All this is dispiriting and appears
unnecessary. The country on all sides
as peaceful as his native dale, not
4 sign Of an enemy. Even the great
blue hill ahead, on which he is told the
enemy's long guns are posted looks as
luiet as the mountain on a Christmas
card. Yet for two miles he walks
through death, thinking only Of It be-
cause there is nothing else to think
Of, and then, as twilight falls, bivouacs
N extended line, sees his friends run
for their tea between the fall of the
shells, notices one of them time his
run back badly and meet a projectile
IN full career, to part from it an awful
and disgusting otfense, and then lies
down in the darkness with shaking
nerve and the thought that five worse
miles still intervene between him and
the guns he knows he is intended to
take
Next morning he is awakened by a
shell, Is marched with infinite caution
for two more miles, shelled the whole
way, is shelled even In his bivouac by
the light of the moon, and as he
watches the projectiles bursting like
waterspouts Of fire along his hillside is
glad when he Is told that tomorrow
will be the battle, after which if he
wins and If lie lives he may be able to
walk and sleep in peace for a space

Very Expensive Apartment Houses.

The increase in size and number Of
apartment houses in large cities of
late has been beyond all precedent.
\ single apartment house is being built
in New York City at a cost of $5,000,-
900. which will contain 1900 rooms.
1t is possible here to secure rooms
on the same plane, suited to every pur-
pose Of housekeeping, from kitchen
TO a ballroom. The various apartments
are so arranged that any number of
rooms can be thrown into a single
suite, the position of the rooms being
left to the tenant.
The rentals for single apartments
vary from $1,000 to $4,000 yearly.
Now these rentals are much higher
than those of most private houses in
New York City. The preference of
fats. even at Increased rentals, is due,
doubtless, to their greater convenience.
Every feature TO be found in the
finest dwellings Is duplicated in these
apartments with the important excep-
ton of the stairs. The suites vary in
size from six to thirty rooms. The
best apartments contain from two to
five bathrooms, with special quarters
for servants.
The rooms are heated In winter with
hot air and cooled in summer with re.
frigerated draughts. Hot or cold CT
iced water, each filtered, is supplied to
every room. BY living in an up-to-date
apartment, in short, housekeeper can
save everything but money.-New York

He was disgusted to discover his
weakness
"GGt out Of here" he said in a harsh
voice. "Go tell the one who sent you
that my flag is dearer to me than all
the world and before / leave il l will
die. Co."
The effort cost him pain. He crawled
back into his tent Il miserable man.

Private Chadwick's SICK" COM
mented his comrades.
One ran with the news to Lieutenant
Butterworth's tent. 1t was empty
"The Lieutenant went of with n
dirty looking beggar,' said the guard.
"One of his charities, guess. Said
he'd be back before long"
Private Chadwick knew otherwise.
He was torn one way by jealousy
toward his erstwhile friend, another
by anger at the girl who had played
him false. He worked himself into
fever. His comrades attributed it to
sorrow for his lost friend, for, after
fruitless search, it was said that Lieu
tenant Butterworth had been trapped
into an ambuscade.
In the gray dawn of morning Private
Chadwick paced slowly up and down,
with his gun on his shoulder, doing
sentry duty. He was still weak from
the fever. A rustic, as of some one
moving, caught his attention.
"Who goes there?"
His challenge went unanswered. he
espied a form disappearing into q
clump of bushes.
Bang" He fired-but into the air.
The Corporal of the guard came run
ming down the line. He received the
sentry's report: "Marauding party Of
'devils.'" But Guy did not tell Of all
he saw In the disappearing form he
recognized his deserted friend.
With hasty formation Company E,
was sent forward. Keeping under
cover of the trees, they halted on the
edge of clearing. Not more than 1000
yards away, 900 Filipinos. under the
leadership of a young officer in the
uniform of the United States Army,
were stealthily advancing.
Careful men. Don't fire. Wait for
orders" cautioned the officers.
Without warning and disregarding
the orders of his superiors, Private
Chadwick leaped suddenly forward in
to the open, took careful aim and fred.

AS the shot rang out and Lieutenant
Butterworth fell, for it was he, a small
figure darted from the now wavering
line of Filipinos with a cry:
Cecil, my American soldier"
Nina" shouted Guy.
The American lines deployed and
now a volley carried death into the op-
posing force. The battle ragged back
and forth. Scattering were the shots
which returned the regular fire of the
boys in blue. The insurgents became
diSorganized. Their retreat became
rout.
The battle was over. The soldiers
returned victoriously rejoicing. AS
they picked their way over the spot
of the first encounter, they came upon
a sad scene In the midst of the dead
and dying, lay the lifeless body Of
pretty black-eyed Filipino girl, beside
the dead deserter Lieutenant, and
there, with his head buried in his arms
and weeping like a child, was Private
