EARTHQUAKES IN ITALY.

In the very toe of the Italian pen
insula q great earthquake has 0ccGE-
red. No one knows the cause O
earthquakes, but the baIieI among
scientists is that they are due 10 the
shifting of strata, about ten mile:
below the surface. Among The nee
PIE in general earthquakes are li1k-
ed III the popular mind with volca-
noes, bat scientists insist that earth
quakes are moresuperficial than vol
canoes, and yet the two seem to &C.
cur together. Ve5uvius ana Str0m-
bell were very active just before
The earthquake occurred il Cai25ria,
and many other waves Of the earth
have had volcanic accomplishments.
This country is very broad and
long, and it may be said TO lie 1e-
D1arkably free from shocks sucn .
destroyed villages in Italy. Ihe
Charleston earthquake OF 1886 was
one Of the most remarkable ever felt
in the Atlantic states, and the New
Madrid, Missouri, disaster Of 1871
was the worst shaking up the Miss
i5sippi valley has known in historic
times. Shocks are not rare on the
Pacific coast, but they are rarely dig
sstrous.
Such events in nature are pretty
well beyond the knowledge OF Man
kind. Theircoming can no be fore
seen, their cause car not be demon
strated, and no possible plan CT the
human brain can provide against
them. They are aiaW to themselves
and ma has to take them as they
come, be their vigor great O small.

AS WE GO

Twenty years ago CASTOR county
had forty-eight government distill-
cries. Now she has none. Their
places r taken by thirty-four cot

The people find more money in
cotton mills and a much better cjti-

ion?
Two years ago, Goldsboro had
eleven barrooms. By an overWhelm-
ing vote of our citizens these were

now occupied by prosperous mercan-

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
AND THE FEVER.

Two months have elapsed since
the authorities of New Orleans ac-
knoWledged that their city baraorei
yellow fever. In the two mcaGh3 a
great sanitary battle has teon
fought. Somemay say that the 2at-
tie has not been won because the lay-
er has not been stamped out. The
fever has, however, been kept unGeC
ontrol, and on Monday not a Death
occurred in the broad cityon account
Of yellow fever. The number ot
cases Oh hand is about 800 and the
Ceaths are abont five a day. About
ten per cent of the fever patients
die. All Of these figures aie Il hap
Fy contrast to the figures o. 1878.
when nearly one hundred died daily
OF yellow fever.
The battle has therefore beer
strikingly successful in New
Orleans, even it has not been i'll The
Outlying towns and plantations.
The mosquito theory has not been
fully applied except il New Orleans
and it has certainly led to gratifying
results in that city.
The fever situation in EeWOrleane
is so satisfactory that PresiIent
Roosevelt has no intention, il is stat

Neither torture Of the physical

affections is required of the modern
student. Holiness in the modern
sense does not mean a life of isolation,
introspection and subjective ecstasy.
Instead it e a practical life in
the midst of men. It means a natu-
raj, wholesome human life lived out
in conformity to the spiritual prin-
ciples in nature and the requirements
of an intelligent soul. It means a
