Lasting Supcrstitions That Hang
About the Arch of Promise.
Rainbow gold' used to be the warp
and wool of many a childish dream.
The pot of treasure buried where the
end of the bow touches the ground"
has been searched for by trusting chill
dren again and again. The present
generation of childhood is SO blase,
however. that such gentle fantasies are
apt to be received with scorn.
There are many lasting superstitions
connected with the arch of promise,
however. In many countries the rain
bow is spoken of as being great bent
pump or ,siphon tube. drawing water
from the sea by mechanical means.
In parts of Russia, in the Don coun-
try and also in Moscow and vicinity
the rainbow is known by word which
IS equivalent to "the bent water pipe"
In nearly all Slayonic dialects it is
known by terms signifying 1.-THE cloud
siphon," and in Hungary it is ssthe
pump" "Noah's pump" or Goods
pump"
In the province of Charkov, Russia,
the rainbow is said to drain the wells,
and to prevent this many are provided
with heavy, tight fitting stone plat
forms. In the province of Saratov the
bow is said to be, under the control Of
three angels, one of whom pumps the
water, the second feeds the clouds,
and the third sends the rain.

same name that they do the banded
water cobra, only that they add '.boba,"
meaning double headed, the equivalent
in English being ''the double headed
water snake"
The Turkish children are told that
If they can touch the rainbow they will
at once have silver heads, eyes of ruby
and teeth of gold. In Greece they say
that the person so unfortunate as to
stumble over the end of the rainbow
will have his or her sex changed in
stantly.

DAIRY NOTES.

Good butter should be solid from the
time it is put upon the table.
Any excitement in the dairy COW
tends to lessen the flow of milk
Failing to get all the buttermilk out
causes butter to become rancid soon.
To obtain the best results in churning
the cream should be only slightly sour.
In winter the cream should be warm
ed up to about 66 degrees before put
ting in the churn.
One advantage in brine sailing is
that it almost entirely avoids streaked
or notified butter
The milk should always be skinned
while sweet and the cream then allow
ed to turn slightly sour.
Sometimes butter has white specks
distributed through it. This is caused
by oyersourness in the cream.
In butter making next to controlling
the temperature is to churn often while
the cream is in good condition.
With temperature under control and
churntng done at the right time the
butter will become solid and be easily
handled.
On the farm to make the most out Of
the milk and butter some of the cows
should be bred to come fresh in the
spring and some in the fall.-St. Louis
Republic.

Perhaps we Americans look at the

sketch boldly and leave much of the
unnecessary detail to our slower cous-
ms. Then. too. our public events hap
pen with such startling rapidity that

a Special to The State from
Smoaks, on Friday last gave this
lnformation
Smoaks, Colleton County, June
II. Tho body of an unknown
white man was found by some
negroes in Il secluded spot near
this place Tuesday evening late.
He had been dead for some time
and was not recognizable, having
been very badly disfgured by
buzzards, and 1t was by means of
these that he was found. Magis-
tratc Wilson was notified and on
Wednesday held an inquest. 1t
was learned from the testimony
taken, that it was the body of
man giving his name as Henry
Bears and who said he was from
Columbia, S. {. He was passing
himself us preacher, and from
conversations held with him, it
was evident that his mind was
unbalanced. DR.. j. NJ. Strick-
land held the post mortem exami-
nation, but could find nothing to
show that he had met with a vio>
lent death. The finding of the
jury was that he came to his
death from causes unknown to
the jury, but that their belief
was that his death was from natu-
raj causes, as there was no evi.
denco of foul play. The comnun-
ity is very much wrought up over
the ghastly find and an effort will
be made to find ont more of this
man.
Yesterday all mystery surround
ing the matter was dissipated
when the grief stricken mother
of the victim was seen. She lives
here in the mill district. Henry
Bears was reared in Hollow Greek
township in Lexington county.
He was 35 years of age. He was
first married about eight or nine
years ago, and lost his wife and
child Then he married again,
and some time ago his second
wife left elm and went to the bad.
She is now somewhere in this city.
Her conduct unbalanced the young
mans mind and he became in.
tensc'y religious. He went to
preaching and preached here for a
while About four weeks ago he
left here announcing his intention
to walk throug the State preaching
from door to door. This was what
he was doing IN ColIeton county

the fact that Mr.. Evans afterwards
took occasion to assert definitely
that he would be in the senatorial
race hass tinulated gossip here IN
South Carolina circles to consid
cradle degree.
Senator Tillman, when asked in
regard to the matter today, indif-
ferently replied that he had seen
Mr.. Evans and understood from
him that he would certainly make
the race. Senator Tillmau, how
ever, made the significant state
ment that he was keeking "hands

that while Mr.. Evans did not sue

would not stand in his way and is
willing to take the chances of win
