Innrnuinn the Nsrnacular.

It is hoped that one of the first
things done aboard the new battle
ship South Carolina when it is COM
pleted will be to organize a class in
the pronunciation of its name. Let
the crew, from the captain down, be
trained to South Carolina" The
word Carolina" is pleasing to the ear,
and is, IN its American application,
of historic significance. The early col
ony was named from the Latin In hon
or Charles H. who made the original
grant to the eight lords proprietors,
in 1868. 1t is, therefore, particularly
dlstasteful to South Carolinans to hear
their state referred to as South Cali
ma" and themselves as South Ca'lee-
MANS" Such corruptions Of the two
words are totally inexcusable. Let the
crew of the South Carolina" be
trained in the proper pronunciation Of
the name, and perhaps in time north
erners who come in contact with the
men of the ship will catch the habit.
But. for heavens sake, do not have a

The DECLINE Of chlvaIry.

Chlvalry grew up in Europe as a
peculiar institution after the fall of
the Roman empire and 1t fiourished
through the middle ages. Its decay
set in when Cervantes in his famous
Don Quixote" made it the object of
his delicious and satirical ridicule.
Long after the institution of chivalry
disappeared its spirit survived in re-
spect and courtesy to women, and
this has been considered one of the
highest manifestations Of manhood.
In the past few decades 1t has fallen
more and more into disuse because
the conventional social barriers be-
tween the sexes are being rapidly
leveled and the women are claiming
for their sex political, social and
moral equality with men, and thus the
old order changes and the new social
relations are growing up between the
sexes.

ROMANCE IN CONNECTION
WITH SWEDISH DYNASTY

man capable of contending with Ma
poleon. The match, as might have
been expected under the circum-
stances, did not turn out happily.
Bernadotte, on becoming crown
prince and subsequently king of Swe-
den, lost his head so completely that,
forgetful Of the fact that he himself
was peasant from the Pyrenees, he
reproached his charming wife with
the lowliness of her birth, declaring
that he had been guilty of terrible
mesalliance and that if he had only
waited he might have had any prin.
cess of the blood in Europe for the
asking-this, too, in spite of the fact
that he had stood as a soldier on duty
on what is now the Place de la Con
corde at Paris on the occasion of the
execution of King Louis XVI and that
he had taken part in the shout of
Mort aux Tyrans" which greeted the
exhibition of the severed head of
their monarch to the multitude
words which, along with a Phrygian
cap, were found tattooed on his right
arm after his death.
Inherited Josephine's Eyes.
Queen Desiree, whose sister Julia
married King Joseph Bonaparte of
Spain and lived with him for a time
at Bordentown, N. j.. survived her
husband for many years and died
shortly before the Franco-German
war, universally beloved in Sweden,
and, strangely enough, without ever
having revisited her native land since
the overthrow of the great Napoleon.
1t is by an irony of fate that Queen
Desiree's only son, Oscar |, should
have fallen in love with Josephine de
Leuchtenberg, daughter of Eugene de
Beauharnais, who was the only son
of the Empress Josephine, for whose
sake she had been Tilted by Napoleon.
In spite of his mothers opposition
Oscar | insisted upon marrying Jo-
sephine of Leuchtenberg, and in this
way the present king of Sweden, o.
car II, finds himself a grandson of
Desiree Clary and a great-grandson
of Empress Josephine, whose singu-
larly beautiful and expressive eyes he
alone of all her descendants is said to
have inherited. -"Ex-Attache" in

THE HORRORS OF WAR.
Chicago journal Calls Slaughter Blot
on Civilization.

chicago journal Calls Slaughter Blot
on Civilization.
History records no greater battle
than that fought between Japan and
Russia in and around Mukden. The
estimates place the number OF dead al
not less than a hundred thousand
souls.
The figure is so great that it beg
gars the Imagination. Both sides have
placed the very flower of their peo-
pie in the field, men in the full prime
Of life.
The proportion of officers, men on
whom the state had expended its
utmost resources to fit them for their
trade of death, have died with those
they led. And a hundred thousand
nave gone down, "in one red burial
blent."
The figure represents the effective
male population of city of three
quarters of million people. Imagine
the dismay that would burst from
horror-stricken world if within few
days that number were to die in such
city. In Chicago, for example, it
would mean the total destruction Of
three out of the every eight meh OF
military age within its limits.
Yet, since it is war, there are no
expressions of horror and alright at
such loss. 1t is taken quite as a
matter of course.
Had Russian or a Japanese city
been so stricken in times of peace,
there would be great mass meetings
everywhere to express sympathy with
the afflicted and tens of thousands OF
dollars in money and supplies would
be raised by popular subscription in
order to express the worlds practical
sense of loss.
Is the world no older and wiser
for all its centuries of Christianity?
Is there no sense of human interest
and proportion that can put an effect
i've end to this Internal slaughter?-

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine.
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease, another from nervous exhaustion or
prostratlon, another with pain here and
there, and In this way they all present
alike TO themselves and their easy-going
and indifferent, or over-busy ecctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he.
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality they are all
only symptoms caused by some womb dis
ease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but prob
ably worse, by reason Of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead OF prolonged misery. 1t has been
we'll said that "a disease known Is half
cured" In cases almost innumerable,
after all other medicines had failed to
help and doctors had said there was no
cure possible, the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, supplemented when
necessary by medical advice and counsel
OF DR.. Pierce, has resulted In a perfect
and permanent cure. The genuineness of
these cures Is attested not only by the
entire disappearance OF pain, but by
gain of flesh, clear complexion and o
cheerful disposition.
