RELIGION OF THE BLANKET
How the Navajo Squaw Prays as She
Spins and Weaves.

How the Navajo Squaw Prays as She
Spins and Wenves.
It is q religion to make Navajo
blanket. Through the kinky, bristling
twine of the warp are woven the hopes
and aspirations of an immortal soul.
In the warm colors are expressed the
ardors Of passionate hearts, the sand
storms they have faced, the cloudbursts
under which their backs have bent, the
smiling sunshine that has dried their
wool; all the adverse and the good for
tunes that have befallen are wrought
into the intricate designs. The squaW
prays as she pushes the wool card, and
she prays as she twirls the distatf In
her hand or rolls it on her thigh; she
prays as she arranges the healds; she
prays as she Justify pounds down the
Woof strands with her scrub oak bat
ten.
A blanket is all a prayer, human
document, a biography bright with the
Joy tints Of canary yellow, dark with
the olive green Of pain. One Is drawn
to it because ones heart is moved by
it's ineffable, intangible humanness.
One is strangely moved to both laugh
ter and tears by its exquisitely variant
colors, each expressing an emotion by
its warmth of blended fibers, each
throbbing to a note Of triumph or OF
woe.-Southern Workman.

A Fine Breed of Dogs.

The Rev. Harry P. Dewey, of Brooklyn,
tells the story of friend of his who once
attended meeting where a Presbyterian
minister preached only ten minutes-a
most unusual thing for Presbyterian
minister to do.
"Brethren," said the minister, when he
stopped suddenly, 81 have a dog at home
that must be particularly fond of paper.
He has eaten that part Of my sermon that
I have not delivered, aud I'll have to
stop here"
After the meeting a woman met the

him by the hand, asked:
Doctor want to know whether that
dog of yours has any pups. Ifso, l want
to get one of them and give it to my min
ister"

How Billiards Were Invented.

The English are very fond of the
game Of billiards, and letter in the
British museum gives the origin Of the
sport 1t was invented by London
pawnbroker, whose name was William
Kew. Kew not only lent money, but
he sold cloth, and for the latter pur
pose had a yard measure, with which
he used to compute the amounts. One
day to distract himself he took the
three round balls which are the en-
blems Of his trade-they may still be
seen in front Of certain shops in Lon
don-and, placing them Oh his counter,
began to hit them about with his yard
measure.
He found it made pretty game. He
got a kind Of skill in making one ball
glance of the other, and his friends
who saw him thus employed called the
game Bilps yard. 1t was soon short
ened into billiards But the yardstick
was the instrument with which the
balls were knocked about, and difficult
ty arose as to what to call it. They
called it after the name Of the pawn
broker-a Kew.-Paris Figaro.

ENGLISH In England.

"You must learn the shop language
before you can 60 shopping in Eng
land" says a girl who has just re-
turned from there and has many sto-
ries to tell Of the difficulties met in the
shops. "Shoes are not shoes unless
they are slippers, all boots are high, and
you can't to save your life get a spool
of thread because there is no such
thing-only reel Of cotton. If you
wish cotton, sheeting for instance, you
ask for calico, and the tape needle to
run the ribbons in your gowns is a
bodkin. There Is not such thing as q
shirt waist to be had in all England,
for they have nothing but biouses, and
one would 60 continually with wet feet
If she did not learn to ask for ga

Another Assassination

WATERFORD, Feb. 11.-This morning
about II o'clock, near Cottageville, Allen
Adams laid wait for Henry Jaques and,
with shot gun, sent load of buck shot
through his neck, instantly killing him.
Jacques was on his horse and never knew
what struck him.
Adams and Jacques had difficulty
Christmas. Mr.. Jaques was a quiet,
peaceable man, while the reputation of
Adams in his community for peace and
order is not good.
The killing is greatly deplored. Jaques
lsa++s vie with eignss children, several
of them small. The sympathy of the
people is with Jaques.
Adams came up tonight and surren=
dered to Sheriff Owens.

Negro Whipped to Death.

WATERFORD, Feb. 12.-Several nights
ago a crowd of about 10 or 10 white men,
near Young's Island, severely whipped a
young negro man, Jake Haines, suspected
of stealing some meat from one of the
neighbors. Yesterday, as result of the
wounds, the man died. The crowd failed
to find any meat in the negro's house but
instead three sacks of guano were dis
covered under his bed. He was taken
out and aogged and refused to confess
the stealing, but implicated another
negro. The latter negro, however, proved
himself innocent to the satisfaction of
the men and Haines was taken off down
in the woods and from the beating Haines
is now dead. The coroner's inquest will
be held today. As yet no arrests have
been made.

The bill putting tax of fifty cents q
head on dogs is one of the best bllls
passed at this session of the legislature.
~
Colleton county's killing record for the
past few weeks is bad one. There are
others, however. If a few white men are
hung, the killings will cease.
~
1t is to be hoped that the house will
not agree to the Senate's action in ap-
propriating $s5,OOO for a State exhibit at
the St. Louis Exposition. This will
simply be money thrown away.
~
We are glad to see that Bamberg's
representatives voted against the appro-
priation of $4,000 for improving the
State house. 1t seems that the large sum
spent on the building in the last two
years would be enough for the present at
least.
~
An investigation of the affairs of the
State dispensary should be welcomed by
+. all. 1t can certainly do no harm, and no
!, one should oppose a full and complete
investigation. There should be all the
publicity possible about the affairs of
State institutions of every kind.
~
Our people will no doubt be dissatisfied
at the increase in county taxes, but they
should remember that the county is in
debt, and this extra levy is made for the
purpose of paying past Indebtedness. So
far as we are concerned, We would prefer
paying off this debt in one year and putt
ing the county on cash basis.

Ministers in different parts of the State
are preaching strong sermons on the
cheapness of human life and lawlessness

utterances from the pulpit on the appall-
ing condition of affairs will do much
good. But press and pulpit should have
commenced a crusade against crime long
