Botkin.
This is a case of catarrh Of the stomach
which had run for. twenty-five years, &C
cording to his statement, and Peruna has
at once come to his relief, promptly accom-
plishing for him more benefit than he had
been able to find in all other remedies dur
ing a quarter of a century.
1t stands to reason that a man of wealth
and influence, like a Congressman of the
great United States, has left no ordinary
means untried and no stone unturned to
find a crre.
If such cures as these do not verify the
claim not only that dyspepsia is due to ca
tarrh of the stomach, but also that Peruna
will cure catarrh of the stomach, it is inns
possible to imagine how any evidences
could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.

Souvenirs of the Days When Smokers
Got a Light from Live Goals.
When smoking first became fashion
able in England during the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth it was customary for
his outfit q pair Of tobacco tongs. If
he were a gallant of the court they
were made of silver; If a substantial
merchant, of brass, but If a working
man, of cheap iron ware. They were
a necessary implement to the smoker
Matches were unknown, and the only
available fire in the daytime was the
blazing log upon the hearth. With the
poker a small piece of glowing ember
was broken off, which with the tongs
vas applied to the freshly charged pipe.
Hundreds of these tongs are to be
found in the collections Of antiquarians.
Most of them are clumsy objects, but
a few are so graceful in outline and
artistic in workmanship that they
seem to be of French and Flemish
rather than English origin.
These tongs were revived on a
small scale some twenty years ago.
whe were emnloved for holdiro
fsd0ee. The cigarette tongs were
from two to four inches in length, con-
nected at the upper end by a smart
spring, which kept the ends together
when in a position of rest. When used
the smoker opened them and caught
the cigarette between the tips close up
to the mouth end. The contrivance en-
abled the User to burn the cigarette
down to the last Whit and protected
the fingers from the discoloring va
por that produces the brown stain upon
the fore and middle fingers. The new
tongs shown nowadays are somewhat
larger and are intended to hold cigars
as well a. to reach a coal from the
fireplace to a pipe. They are made of
iron, steel and gun metal. and many
of the latter are said to be manufactuT-
ed from warships, cannon and other
trophies of the late war with Spain.

SCARBOROUGH'S SPEECH.
EDUCATION AS THE MORAL RE-
DEMPTION OF TIE WORLD.
Full Text of the Brilliant Grafton De-
livered at the Kingstree Graded
School Commencement.
Mr.. ChairmaE:-

MI. CndITLlldE.-
l suppose that human nature Is
much The same throughout ;he
wide. wide world-has ever been
the same and ever will be, regard,
less of cline or country, save as
modified by environment and edu-
cation.
In the ages long past, when the
world was young and humanity
was in its swaddllng clothes, the
universe was at most an Infinite
experiment 1t is a common
habit to speak of the works OF
God as absolutely perfect and
complete. In certain sense the
proposition Is true. but yet, when
we come 10 scrulinize the works
OF Deity, we find that nothing in
all the universe came from His
hands as a finished product.
Standing amid the aggregated
gloom of ayes He spoke and the
world stood forth, the earth took
form, the horizon was lifted up
and the suns and systems wheeled
into line and begun their majestic
procession, which must continue
until lie shall be satisfied.
And then the Supreme Archl-
tect exercised his creative powers
still further, and speaking rever-
emily, did His best; and man forth
ps the highest conception OF dl-
vine thought, the greatest product
OF divine creative genius.
1t would not have conserved
the divine purpose had His c"ea-
tive genius and power evolved d
finished product, because it would
have contravened the basal prin-
ciple upon which al! created things
exist. | do not mean 10 say God
could not have made all things
complete, but only He did not.
We speak of matter divided into
organic and inorganic, or, III other
words, of one kind as having an
active principle called life and the
other as wanting in that peculiar
element. And yet, in modified
sense at least, the latter has life.
He established laws by and under
which all created beings, organic
or inorganic, should manifest
themselves, and among other laws
we find those Of growth and de-
cay. Organic matter grows from
within, inorganic from without.
So. from creations dawn until
to-day, decay and deterioration,
as we'll as growth and develop
ment, have marked the history OF
the universe in its various phe-
nomena. We speak of the earth
as stable and the starry constella-
tions as eternal, and yet under
laws CT their own they change as
surely as the seasons. 1t is not
my purpose. however. to pursue
that interesting question. would
deal, rather, with more practl-
cal. wonderful side OF creation as
exhibited in The organic kingdom.
While, as l have stated, God
never produced finished product,
because it was not His purpose TO
do so, yet He established laws
under which the children Of His
thought reach perfection. lie
established the law of supply and
demand. He created environment

an uneducated man. And whether
1t increases ones acquisitive
powers or not, there is one thing
it surely does do, it increases his
capacity for usefulness, expands
his horizon of thought and opens
the windows of his innermost soul
so he Can hear the music that
comes from the whir of machinery,
because he knows the cause or
can appreciate the effect the
music that comes from the tread
of the industrial army, because
he knows the laws that regulate
its evolu;ions. Yea, more, nature
itself is an open book, and It's
pages are printed II living char
acters of love and beauty.
The JOY of knowing! Itell you
that not even material wealth,
with all its charms, can compare
with the treasures of a we'll
stored mind. The illusions of
wealth, the sordid atmosphere that
surrounds it, is a bitter in the cup
of 10y, a skeleton at the feast, a
ghost at the banquet. But the
wealth of mind of which | speak
is as eternal as the hills, and no
thief can steal it. 1t is part Of
our very selves. You might as
we'll try to rob sunbeam of lis
warmth or the rose of its fragrance
as 10 steal away the fact and
pleasure of conscious knowledge.
You may put your gold in stocks
and bonds, but their value de-
pends on the fluctuations of The
market. If you will put in into
brain power, use it to buy knowl-
edge, it will increase as the years
90 by and be dn unfallin9 source
of JOY and pleasure until tired
nature falls asleep.
The wise man said: "Wilh all
thy getting get understanding"
| tell you that wealth Of mind is
the only kind that satisfies and
elevates.
Now, when one takes food into
his body and properly assimilates
it, it promotes growth, builds up
tissues, adds nerve force, gives
strength and energy-because the
food is that which nature requires
to sustain those faculties. So it is
with knowledge, education or
learning, as We call it. 1t is that
which the mind requires for IT'S
growth, development and strength.
Do you know the JOY of salts
flied appetite? Then remember
that intellectual hunger when fed
on this bread of knowledge turns
to delightful satisfaction.
Here and there all over the
world We see those upon whom
the hand of aff1ictlon has been
placed. We call them dwarfs.
There is lack Of development,
and consequently a lack of capac-
lty for physical exercise, labor or
enjoyment. So it is in the realm
OF thought. There are those 10
whose untutored minds no CLEAN
of light breaks i'll, no music, no
beauty, no high and blisstul joy.

look out over broad acres and be

have said this much in a gen.
eral way TO show you by analogy
that we are not, in our natural
state, what our Creator designed
us to be. But while it is fact
that growth and development is
the Law of our nature, it Is like
wise fact that absolute. pertec-
ton, or completed growth, is a
will-o'-the- wisp, an unattalnable
condition. God so willed it, and
human experience has demon
strated the wisdom of His decree.
Human life is a stupendous
mystery, and the thing We call
mind is the wonder of the ages.
Who is so insenSate that he
does not exult in the incomrara-
ble Joy of living, the lnexpressl-
BILE delight of knowledge? The
world is full OF beauty, but there
are eyes that do not, cannot, see;
i. is full of JOY and gladness, but
there are those whose hearts are

His Consolation.

A lawyer who has won some distinc-
ton through his success In compromis-
ing suits for damages by accident says
his most interesting client was Swed-
ish farmer from Delaware county
whose wife had been killed in Phila-
delphia by a train crossing the streets
at grade.
The widower was simply inconsola-
BILE and, having been told that he
could get $4,000 If he insisted on
pushing the case, refused for months
to talk compromise. The lawyer. Of
course, did all possible to keep the
hearing back in the hope Of discour-
aging the Swede. and at last he was
rewarded by an offer to settle at rea
sonable figure.
The Swede called, the lawyer said
$500, and the bereaved one quickly ac
cepted. AS he folded the check and
pocketed it he observed:
