oughly the food is digested readily and the appe-
tlte is satisfied before you have eaten too much.
Don't overload your stomach at any time, and
by no means when you are eating food which you
have not been in the habit of eating.
Now when you sit down to eat, think about
what you are doing. Take your time and be sure
to eat no more than your stomach will digest and
assimllate. All beyond this will do harm and
cause trouble.
Reader, this is a very important matter when
you consider the far-reaching effect it has upon
your chances for enjoying this life. Each one
has the power of making his own happiness by
his carefully dieting himself.
Be sure, too, that what you eat is well cooked
and done. But the one thing which does the most
harm is too much grease. Here most cooks are at
fault. Now remember, reader, just this: When
you cut your meat to fry, have a very sharp knife
and slice your meat very thin and then fry until
Just done, and not to a cracking, as most country
housewives do. Use as little grease as possible
in all your cooking, and eat as little fried ~victuals
as possible. Vegetables and fruits are our best
foods for health.
Give children fruit to eat instead of candy.
You see, a good garden and plenty of fruits are
conducive to health. Now is the time to start to
and save doctors bills, much suffering, and bad
looks.
When you have ruined your stomach by wrong
cooking and indiscretion in eating, you feel bad,
look bad-and everybody else feels bad when you
are around. III. F. FREEMAN, M. D..

Water Gardens.

A small outdoor water-garden is just the thing
to make ones place different from the general
run of commonplace gardens, says a writer in
the Garden Magazine. Why not try some hardy
water-lilies this year! 1 have two pools in my
garden, and both are a source of great pleasure
to my family and myself, as we'll as the stranger
in my gates. One is planted with water-lilies and
the other with lotus. In the former we have flow
ers from early spring to late autumn. The colors
are white, yellow and pink. The lotus blooms
for q period of about two months, and I have
nothing in my garden to compare with its flowers
in beauty. If you are a lazy gardener try water
lilies. They require no watering. when everything
else is drying up, and no wedding at any time.
They multiply so fast with me that most Of them
have to be dug up every spring, and the increase
sells at good prices. Do not grow geraniums,
cannas, coleus, and the like, when so many beauti-
full plants can be grown so different from your
ueighbors.

A Glorious Outlook Either Way.

The New York Times tells a story of a white
man who was arraigned before a colored justice
of the peace during reconstruction times for
killing a man and stealing his mule. The COM
~parative enormity of such crimes varied with the
soil upon which they were committed. In this
case the deed was done in Arkansas, near the
Texas border. There was some rivalry between
the States, but the colored justice tried to pre-
serve an impartial frame of mind.
owes got two kinds OBJ law in dis yere cot"
he said, "Texas law an Arkansas law. Which
will you hab?"
The prisoner thought a minute, and then said
he guessed he would take Arkansas law.
'Den I discharge you fo' stealin' de mule, an
hang you fo' KILN de man."
'Hold ON a minute, judge~ called the prisoner.
81 would rather have the Texas law"
"Al right. Under de law oh Texas l fine you
fo' KILN de man, an hang you fo' stealin' de
mule."-Youth's COMPANION.

How "Just As I Am" Came to Be Written.

In the March Delineator Allan Sutherland gives
an interesting account of the origin of Gust AS
l Am" Charlotte Elliott's famous hymn. After
telling how the hymn came to be inspired through
a remark of DIR. Caesar Malan to the invalid COM
poser. when she had told him that she did not
know how to find Christ-"Come to Him just as
you are" said DR.. Malan-it is related that the
hymn first appeared anonymously in The Yearly
Remembrance. DR.. c.. S. Robinson, a noted
clergyman; states: beginning thus it's public
history in the columns of an unpretending maya
zine, the little anonymous hymn, with it's sweet
counsel to troubled minds, found it's way into
scrap-books, then into religious circles and chapel
assemblies, and finally into the hymnals." That
the hymn has had a deep influence for good hui
manity may be seen from the testimonies of min
listers given in this article, and from the fact that
after the death of Miss Elliott, above a thousand
letters we're found among her papers thanking
her personally for the great blessings which had
come to the lives of the writer's through the
instrumentality of "Just AS I Am"

A Petition That Accomplished It's Purpose.

On Wednesday a petition to the Legislature was
circulated in Asheville for the sole purpose OF
showing that many people will sign a petition
without knowing it's contents, and the slgners
were many. This petition cites That whereas the
citizens desire what is best for the interests of the
city, therefore the Legislature is asked to pass a
law, applicable to the State at large, If possible,
otherwise only to Buncombe County, requiring all
dogs, except pug dogs, to walk on their hind legs,
and Furnishing the owners of dogs that disobey the
law.-Morganton Herald.

Young Fools That Marry.

A green boy without a dollar, present or pro-
s~pective, sparkling a girl regularly and talking
about marrying is a spectacle for gods and men.
He should be reasoned with, and if he will not
quit it until he is able to support a wife and so
know he loves and the difference between love
and passion, he should be quarantined, or put
in a convent erected on purpose for such cases.
Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages are the
result of green human calves being allowed to
run at large in the society pasture without any
Jokes on them. They marry and have children
before they do mustaches, they are fathers of
twins before they are proprietors of pants, and
the little girls they marry are old women before
they are twenty. Occasionally one of these gosling
marriages turns out very well, but it is a clear
case of accident.
But they see a girl who looks cunning and they
are afraid there are not going to be enough girls
to go round and they begin to get in their work
real spry, and before they are aware of the
marriage relation they are hitched for life, and
before they own a cook stove or a bedstead they
have to get up in the night and go after the
doctor, so frightened that they run themselves
out of breath, and then abuse the doctor because
he does not run too, and when the doctor gets
there he finds there is not enough linen to wrap
a doll baby in. About this time he realizes that
he has been a colossal, and as he flies around
to heat the water and bring the bath tub, goes
whooping after his mother or her mother, he turns
pale around the gils, his hair turns red in single
night and he calls high heaven to witness that
if he lives till morning, which he seriously doubts,
he will turn over a new leaf and never get married
again until he is older. And the next morning
the young father is around before the drugstore
is open with no collar on, his hair sticking every
way, his eyes blood-shot and his frame nervous,
waiting for the clerk to open the door so he can
get some saffron to make tea of.-Sandwich.

THE HOME CIRCLE
"Thar's More In the Man Than Thar In In the
Land,"*

i knowed a man, which he lived in Jones,
Which Jones Is a county of red hills and stones,
And he lived pretty much by gittin' of loans,
And bis mules was nothin' but skin and bones,
And his hogs was fiat as his corn-bread pones,
And he had bout a thousand acres OF. land.
This man-which his name it was also Jones
He swore that he'd leave them old red hills and
stones,
Fur he couldn't make nothin' but yallerish cotton.
And little o that, and his fences was rotten,
And what little corn he had, hit was boughten
And dinged eff a livin' was in the land.
And the longer he swore the madden he got,
And he riz and he walked to the stable lot,
And he hOllered to Tom to come thar and hitch
Fur to emigrate somewhat whar land was rich,
And to quit raisin' cock-burrs, thistles and SIGH,
And a-wastin' Their time on the cussed land.
So him and Tom they hitched up the mules,
Pertestin' that folks was mighty big fools
That nd stay in Georgy ther life time out,
just scatchin' a livin', when all of 'em mought
Git places in Texas where cotton would sprout
By the time you could plant it in the land.
And he driv by a house whar a man named Brown
Was alvin. not fur from the edge o town,
And he bantered Brown fer to buy his place,
And he said that bein' as money was scace,
And bein' as sheriffs was hard to face,
Two dollars an acre would git the land.
They closed at a dollar and fifty cents,
And Jones he bought him a Vaughn and tents,
And loaded his corn, and his wimmen and truck,
And moved to Texas, which it tuck
His entire pile. with the best of luck,
To git thar and git him a little land.
But Brown moved out on the old Jones farm,
And he rolled up his breeches and barred his arm,
And he picked all the rocks from off'n the ground,
And he rooted it up and he plOwed it down,
Then he sowed his corn and his wheat in the land.
Five years glid by, and Brown, one day
(Which he'd got so fat that he wouldn't weigh).
Was ~a-sittin' down. sOrter lazily,
To the bulliest dinner you ever see.
When one of the children jumped on his knee
And says. Vans Jones', which you bought his
land"
And thar was Jones, standin' out at the fence,
And he hadn't no Vaughn. nor mules, nor tents,
Fur he had left Texas a-foot and cum
To Georgy to see if he couldn't git sum
Employment. and he was lookin' as hum
Bile as if he had never owned any land.
But Brown he asked him in and he sot
Him down to his vittles smokin' hot.
And when he had filled hisself and the floor
Brown looked at him sharr and riz and swore
That whether mems land was rich or poor,
Thar was more in the man than thar was in the
land" Sidney Lanier.

DIR FREEMAN'S HEALTH TALKS.
m.-Eat Moderately Avoid Too Much Meat; Cook
Well, and Have Fruits and Vegetables Enough.

Messrs. Editors Il do not know of any one
thing that causes more distress and sickness than
improper eating.
This has a great deal to do with ones feelings.
If you eat too much you feel badly, and many
people are put in great deal of pain and distress.
Now if indiscretion in eating causes so much dis
tress and failing health. why is there so much
of it! Your teeth are for the purpose of chewing
what you eat, and the glands of the mouth and
stomach secrete a liquid that digests what you
eat. One should eat very slowly and chew every
thing thoroughly. This puts the food in proper
condition to be digested by the liquid secreted
by the glands of the mouth and stomach.
When you eat slowly and chew your food thor

PADEREWSKrS SIG.
Seekers Can Have 1t and Aid Worthy
Memorial Fund by Paying 81.

Paderewski has fixed uDon a most
happy plan of aiding the Chopin me-
mortal fund for the erection of a
beautiful monument to the illustrious
Polish composer, Frederick Chopin.
The monument is to be erected at
Warsaw. as every one knows. When
the Russian government granted per-
mission for the erection of a monu-
ment to the great Pole, it withheld
permission for a popular subscription
throughout Poland, by which the re-
quired funds might be secured. No
one living venerates more the memory
of Chopin than does PadereWski, and
he is an ardent supporter of the plan
to erect a suitable Chopin monument.
His own contribution is not made
known, but it is certainly large. Now
Paderewski has conceived a. plan by
which Americans can aid the monu-
ment fund in an honest way, without
in the least feeling that it is a tax upon
their purse, and the plan is this: Many
persons seek Paderewski's autograph
as memento, and he is ready to give it
cheerfully to all such on the condition
that they subscribe one dollar to the
monument fund. If, in addition to the
autograph, the seeker asks a few bars
of music inscribed in Paderewski's own
hand, he must pay two dollars.
The plan is worthy, and every where
has received hearty commentator.
