Tuesday was an ideal spring day
after the heavy rains of Monday.
There are people, however. who lose
the enjoyment of this fine spring
weather by the fear that April will be
cold and bleak.

Golgotha.

Our crosses are hewn from different trees,
But we all must have our Calvaries;
We may climb the height from a different
side,
But we each go up to be crucifed;
AS We scale the steep, another may share
The dreadful load that our shoulders bear
But the costliest sorrow is all our own
For on the summit we bleed alone.

Try Them.

Mr.. P. j. Rucker, OF Columbia,
writes as follows to The State: An
egg wrapped in paper, packed in
close box in hot weather will keep
three months better than one laid out
in the air three days. It is the air
that ruins fresh meats, fruits, fish, ice
or eggs. Wrap an egg the day it is
laid and it will never hatch. Eggs
left in open air in July or August will
hatch in three weeks without a hen
or an incubator, SO they are not fit
to eat in three days unless they are
wrapped. Nature has prepared scales
on fish, peelings on fruit, shells on
eggs to keep the air off them. A fish
wra pped in paper in hot weather, not
cleaned. will keep q hours better
than one cut and salted two hours.
There is just as much sense in wrap
ping up meats. fish and eggs in hot
weather to keep them as there is tc
wrap up ice to keep it. All ask of
you is to try it; wrap good with paper
and tie so no air can get to them.
Wrap eggs the day they are laid, the
same as you would lemons, and pack
in a close box. There IS one thing
certain that we have not learned all
yet-we only live to learn. Solomon
just learned that be was fool when
he got ready to die and cried out that
all was vanity" It would do no
harm to give these recipes trial.

The Jews hold that Jesus preached
nothing but Judaism, the supremacy
Of the commandment to love God and
man, the doctrine Of the fatherhood
Of God, the doctrine that the Sabbath
was made for man, the abrogation Of
the law Of retaliation, the obligation
to love even ones enemies, and even
the Lords prayer, which, we redily ad-
NIT, is the sublimest petition ever
framed in the human language: all
these we claim were taken from Jewish
writing, some Of which were CON-
posed hundreds OF years before Jesus
was born.
Jesus was crucifed by Roman
Governor and Roman soldiers. and
though his cruciixion was instigatedF
by Jews, it was by few jealous priests
and not by the mass Of the Jewish
people.
so far as modern Jews are con-
cerned, they regard Jesus as one Of the
noblest spiritual teachers that ever ap-.

ciples OF Jesus have prosecuted the
Jews with savage ferocity for ages and
the Jews have borne their prosecutions
with lamblike gentleness and silence. y.

less than spoonful was dead in fifteen
minutes.

shows unmistakable evidences Of
strychnine poisoning and test Of the
food be eat was made demonstrates
that it contained enough strychnine
to have killed dozen men. Morgan's
relatives can attach suspicion to no
one. rs he had not known enemy
In view Of this the conclusion is made
that the poison was meant for some
body else, although addressed to Nor
gan. The food came in the manufac-
turers package, this being enclosed
with common white paper. The post
mark is indistinct and postal authori-
ties are at loss to say what is the
emanating office.
Three deaths came near being caused
by the contents of the package. AS

Morgan and her mother tasted and

Honey.

According to writer in Health, hon
ey IS q valuable medicine and has
many uses. 1t is excellent in most
lung and throat affections and is often
used with great benefit in place Of cod
liver oil. Occasionally there is per-
son with whom it does not agree. but
most people can learn to use it with
beneficial results. Children who have
natural appetites generally prefer it to
butter. Honey is laxative and seda-
tive, and in diseases Of the bladder and
kidneys it is an excellent remedy.
1t has much the same effect as wine
or stinlulants, without their injurious
effects. and is unequaled in mead and
harvest drinks. AS an external appli-
cation it is irritating when clear, but
soothing when diluted. In many places
it is much appreciated as remedy for
Group and colds. In preserving fruit
the for.nic acid it contains makes q
better preseryative than sugar slrup.
and it is also used in cooking and coll
fections. Honey does not injure the
teeth as candies do.

from tie gover!.er>'S Office last night:
rhis app, ntment was made after
much careful consideration. There
were many applicants for the position
and many we'll qualified to discharge
its duties. But, after most carefully
considering the situation the governor
concluded to appoint Gen. Jones be-
cause of his previous long and efficient
service as a member OF the board, MS
eminent fitness for the position by
reason Of his long business training
and the very high esteem in which ne
is held BY everybody in the State.
Gen. Jones was not an applicant
for the position and has consented to
accept only to fill the unexpired term
with the distinct understanding that
he viii not consent to be a candidate
for reelection before the coming !egls-
lature
The State state says the appoint
ment of Gen. Jones will GO doubt cause
no little surprise. but will probably
meet with general approval, for ne is
well known over the State and IS
chairman of the Democratic party or
ganizatlon. There are now in Colum-
bia a number OF delegations waiting to
urge upon the governor the claims OF
their respective candidates and to
them the news OF the appointment
may come as a shock.
The people Of South Carolina can
not appreciate how the governor has
been besieged for the past three days.
The telegraph companies have reaped
a harvest. the special delivery letters
have come by dozens and the long diS-
tancce 'phoaes have been kept busy.
