IL Must Come.

Editor Herald:-I recently inspect
ed with good degree Of care the kitch-
en- and lis attachments Of the Normal
school, aud came away impressed with
the thought that the time would come
when separate kitchens and separate
cooks for separate homes would be-
come things Of the past.
Phil Ward makes up barrel Ct
Hour at one time and then converts the
dough into bread, excellent bread It is
too, by using just one scuttle Of coal,
not more in value than Is consumed by
most families in preparing breakfast
Tor a small family. And bushels Of
vegetables are committed 10 the tender
care OF steam chests and come out
sieaming hot aud ready for the table
And when the Hundreds have eaten,
the plates, dishes, &c, are hurried to
the wash reservoirs where as quick as
thought they are made clean and dry,
ready for use again. Meats are dis
posed ofin the same easy and econom-
zeal way while coffee Is made by the
many gallons and In manner fit for the
gods. Why not then have a Phil
Ward 10 cook for say at least one hun
dred Of our people aud let them sat
together at some convenient center?
| feel the force Of the objections that
may be urged, but feel, too, that the
advantages outweigh them immensely.
Here is the solution Of the servant
girl problem, aud In my opinion the
only one. The communities Of our
State and Of other States have their
merchants, manufacturers, doctors.
lawyers, editors. preachers, and why
not their cooks?
/ would be glad to have answer to
this question. VISITOR.

Lenten Season Here.

February II was Ash Wednesday, the
beginning Of Lent, the annual spring
fast in the Catholic and Episcopal
churches. which derives its name from
the Saxon "Lenetn Lenetid, or spring
tide. was the Saxon name for March,
because in this month there is a mani
fest lengthening Of the days. As a
chief part Of the fast falls in March,
this period came to be called first Len
ten-fasten and afterwards Lent.
For the forty days, from February Il
the Lenten maid and the world are
supposed to walk far apart on the
sounding shores Of time" she being
invested with all the mystical Sc
illusions which has come to be associa-
ted, through the tradition Of centuries,
with so holy a number as forty.
Our Lord tasted forty days. Moses
was forty days in the Mount, Elijah
was forty days fed by the ravens, the
rain Of the food fell forty days, Jonah
gave Ninevah forty days to repent anc
the Lord was seen forty days after hi
resurrection.

Arlon Quartetie succeeded well enough
in getting applau-e, aud were accorded

played by each member with wonder

ments furnished the most delightful
part Of the evenings program

The eyes are the most wonderful and
delicate optical instruments in the
world, aud easily subjected to strain.
There are few eyes that are not caused
unnecessary and detrimental strain.
This produces the Inflammation that is
the trouble Of many aud which in turn
is often the cause Of the unsightly puff
ness under the eyes Although it is
not possible 10 change their color or
shape, the appearance Of the eyes can
often be materially improved by prop
er care, aud the surrounding tissues
and features so modified as to add
greatly TO the looks. Excellent infOr
nation on the care Of the eyes is given
by Dr. Grace Peckham Murray in the
March Deliueator. The use Of glasses
is a sub-topic that merits special at
ton.

BRYAN In Richmond.

Editor Herald.-I heard VIM. Jen
nings Bryan for the first and only
time this evening before an inspiring
audience at the Academy Of Music.
need not say that he Is master OF plat
form oratory, Of imposing physique
superb presence, graceful and dignified
OF hearing, rich in vocabulary, and
living in closest touch with the every
day happenings Of the passing days
to which he contributes so largely, IL
is not wonderful that he sways an au-
dience Of thousands with the ease with
which he swings his own right arm.
The "Value Of an Ideal" furnished
him with a theme, and though the
subject was guiding star Of the entire
lecture he dealt with it with marvel
lous freedom. His splendid arguments,
apt illustrations and generous humor
were all drawn from his varied expe-
riences as citizen, as candidate, as Con-
gresham, as traveller at home and
abroad. He is evidently diligent stu.
dent Of men and things, and such his
ready gift Of utterance that there is no
need Of framing into carefully pre-
pared sentences before giving them to
his auditors. He rarely lifts his voice
above the well-nigh conversational
pitch, and there is no need that he
should since his most lightly spoken
word reaches the limit Of his audience,
and while an orator Of peerless gifts
he never undertakes the merely ora
tOrical.
am glad to have heard this Ameri-
can Of international fame, and particu-
larry since he impressed me with the
fact Of having arisen superior to the
depression Of signal defeat.

Cleveland, but do believe he loves his
country and would spend and be spent
in its service. OK THE Go.

intermediate Celebration.

Hampden. Sidney College students
have all returned to their classes, and
everything is working as serenely as
though there had never been the.slight'
est jar.
The Intermediate Celebration Of the
Philanthropic Literary Society will
come of tonight Following is the
program:
Prayer.
Overlooked Influences in Man and
Natures. ID. Craig, Of Augusta.

Education-E. W. Wall, Of Farmville.
The Hero of the Civil War-John

At meeting Of the board of trus-
tees held last week resolution was
adopted approving the several meas
ures adopted by the faculty in their
efforts to quell the recent disturbances
in the college" An important change
was also made in the system Of exam
ination. Heretofore the student has
been promoted on his standing % in
the daily rec.tations (2) in monthly
test; CD and in the final and interme-
diate examinations. Each of these
three counted one third i'm the result
The change contemplates the reduction
Of the monthly test TO an ordinary re-
citation, leaving only two values that
will be considered, namely, the daily
recitations and the examinations.
lSince the above was pat in type we
are informed that the programme for
tonight has been cancelled

Green Rar ON a Boom.

And while the boom is based on
water it will not be watered stock
affair. The water has gone It's way
through grateful stomachs to appre-
ciative hearts, aud has already enviable
reputation. Farmville will be made
to blush when Green Bays new spring
is surrounded by attractive cottages
and the lithia still alone in it, glory.
Those wide awake and progressive
citizens, Of our little sister town, excite
our admiration, and when the roads
are good again we are gong to ride
over and drink to their very good
health from that pure and health-pro-
noting nature beverage.
In the meantime let them send a
delegation over and teach as how to
use it. The possibilities Of this section
are beyond our highest conceptions.

For Fair Play.

Editor HcrQid:-You have made di-
rect approaches to our public servants
and beg therefore to ask that you
will say to Judge Mann, our senator
and Mr.. Owen, our representative m
the lower house, to inquire Of the
authorities Of Texas and learn how they
purpose pre- tecting their people against
the encroachments Of the express COM
panies. Their charges are onerous and
well nigh prohibitory. Fair play is all
the people ask for. Live and let live
The express companies should not
want more. And il is idle to say there
is no relief to he had. Tie sovereign
people Of this aud all other lands can
protect themselves against wrong, OF
else their sovereignty is solemn farce.

An Application.

Editor Herald:
In advocating a principle, it is a lack
Of completion and a waste Of opportun-
ity to stop short Of definite illustra-
ton aud application: an incomplete
ness and lack Of clearness in conse.
quence Of which plan, or principle,
or a cause, often meets opposition from
many who would be its warm friends.
Let US, then, make case Of teaching
denominational doctrine not only
without the causing Of bitterness and
scandal, but with the increase Of
Christian knowledge, courtesy, love
and unity.
If doctrines are preached only to
those that already advocate them, the
barriers i'm the church Of God are built
higher around each flock; but what an
example would it be Of courtesy, love
and honesty; what shining light to
the world, If each Christian denomina-
ton should once year, for instance,
request one Of Gods servants Of a diff.
ferent denomination to preach to them
on his understanding Of Gods truth
and Gods will in regard to the points
about which their denominations diff
fer
Let that be done in Farmville, let 1t
be made custom for each pastor to be
requested once year by every other
denomination to preach to them his
special message freely, either where he
thinks his doctrines are right or where
their doctrines are wrong, and Farm
vile, small though she be, will be
made by God little spring from which
blessings will flow around the world.
Oh brethren, every humble man,
every little town was made in Gods
ideal to be truly great Only our un-
faithfulness makes US lose our crown
makes US accountable to God for the
loss of the great, unfathomed, what
Might Have Been"
What an example Gods church
would set to Gods world How the
world, too, would become one! In
every northern school one southern
history read; 10 every southern school
one northern history studied! In every
American school one English history
Of the Revolutionary War and its caus-
es; in every Spanish school a history
written by an American!
The United States taught to feel fol
spain; England to sympathize with
good Russians; Russia to feel the needs
Of Japanl
A good democrat invited TO address
a republican convention; a good repub
lican invited to speak to the democrats
Democratic statesman taking one good
republican paper; republican statesman
taking one good democratic paper
Catholic listening TO good Protestant
Protestant to good Catholic, Jew t
good Christian, and Christian to gooC
jew
Then will right and truth surely
spread; Gods Kingdom will come, anC
on earth will be peace, good will among
men.
