eve believe these girls all enjoy
their work and it is q pleasure for us
to state that they have given us very
little trouble-certainly nothing to
compare with the negroes, who kept
us in constant turmoil on account of
frequent changes and the everlasting
annoyance of the walters, who con-
stantly worked for their tip. Quite
different with the girls. They never
impress one as looking for fee, while
they are always attentive, clean and
tidy.
"We try to make the life in the
hotel as pleasant as possible, and
with this end in view have set aside
a parlor where they receive their
friends in the evening""
Throughout the West it is the al
most universal rule to find young
women acting as walters at hotels.
They are sometimes graduates of
high schools, they enjoy the fullest
respect of the community, save their
money. and some of them are thrifty
and prosperous. The young women
who have taken places at Wilson and
Greensboro are of the same type, and
it is gratifying to see that the man
agement recognizes that they are en-
titled to parlOrs and such accommo-
datiOns as will attract young women
of worth and character.

Jesus Described.
Text Of a Letter By An Officer Of
the Court Of Pontius Plate.
Berlin Dispatch.

| Berlin Dispatch.
The Orient correspondent has just
made public the text OF q letter writ
ten by Publius Leatulus, an officer OF
Pontius Pilates court, to the Roman
emperor, which, as announced ex-
clusiyely in the World last week, was
rediscovered in the library OF the
Lazarist Fathers in Rome.
II this letter proves authentic 1t
may be considered the most import
ant historical document ever discov-
cred regarding the personality OF
Jesus. 1t purpOrts to have been
written Just as Christ was beginning
his preaching through Judea. 1t
reads:
have learned, o Caesar, that you
desired some information regarding
this virtuous man called Jesus, the
Christ, whom the people consider a
prophet and his disciples regard as
the Son of God, creator OF heaven
and earth.
1t is fact that every day one hears
wonderful things told OF him. To be
brief, he makes the dead rise and he
heals the sick.
He is man of medium size, whose
appearance indicates both great
sweetness and such an amount OF
dignity that one feels in looking at
him that he must love him, and at
the same time fear him.
His hair, down to his ears, is of the
color of ripe walnuts and hangs down
on his shoulders as a light blonde
and clear mass; it is parted in the
middle, according to the fashion OF
the Nazarenes. His beard, of the
same color as his hair, is curly, and
although not very long, is parted in
the middle like his hair.
like the sun; it is impossible for any
one to look him long in the face.
When he scolds he inspires fear, but
very soon he himself begins to shed
tears Even in his most severe moods
he is affable and benevolent. 1t is
said that no one has ever seen him
laugh, and that he sheds tears very
often.
Everyone finds that his conversa-
ton is agreeable and attractive. He
is not seen very often in public, and
when he appears he carries himself
modestly.
His manners are very distinguished;
he is even beautiful. 1t is perhaps
because his mother is the best look
ing woman ever seen in these parts.
Ifyou wish to see him, o Caesar, as
- La /, Z
shall send him to you.
Although he has never pursued any
studies, he is wellup in every branch
of knowledge.
He goes around barefooted and
without head cover.
Many people make fun of him when
they see him coming, but as soon as
they are in his presence they tremble
and admire him.
The Hebrews say that they have
never seen q man like him, nor heard
teachings like those he imparts.
Many believe that he is god, and
others assert that he is thine enemy,
o Caesar
These naughty Jews give me much
trouble. They say he has never given
trouble to anybody, but that, on the
contrary, he tries to make everyone
happy.

Southern Girls as Walters.
Goldsboro Headlight.

GoldsbOrO Headnght.
The average Southern man has
been so accustomed to colOred ser
wants that he is naturally averse at
first blush to seeing Southern white
girls taking positions as walters at
hotels. Two hotels have recently
made the innovation in North Caro-
lina-the Briggs House at Wilson
and the Benbow House at Green's
boro. In 10th instances the changes
have been satisfactory alike to
patrons and to the managers. Asked
as to whether the young white women
employed had improved the service,
the proprietors of the Benbow House
made this reply:
'Replying to your letter OF several
days ago, will state that our change
from negro to white help has proven
satisfactory and our hopes have been
more than sustained. Wehave about
thirty girls, eight OF whom came from
the North, while the Others are from
North Carolina. We secured the few
Northern girls in the beginning for
the reason that we inaugurated this
change during the latter part OF the
summer when it was hard to get girls
in our own State on account OF the
fact that the mountain resorts were
still open and had almost all of the
available ones employed for the sea-
son. Another reason was on account
of the fact that Northern girls that
we sent for were employed in large
New England hotels where they were
accustomed to handling large crowds,
while our North Carolina girls only
had experience of smaller houses.
We are glad to say, however, that
the North Carolina girls are doing
remarkably we'll and are now just as
systematic about their work as the
New England girls, who have had
long training, from which our native
girls have derived great benefit.

OF the Scientific american just after the
Mont Pelee disaster. 1t is OF particular
interest at the present time when scient-
lists are belonging the public with the
multiplicity of their explanations OF the
San Francisco earthquake.
The fact OF the matter is that all the
scientists are guessing as to what caused
the earthquake. One theory is just as
good as another. No one knows, and it
is impossible for anyone to prove that
his theory is correct. Theories relating
to all branches OF scientific study are

Wonderful Work of the Modern
Women.
Dallas (Texas)N News.

Dallas (Texas) News.
There is saying to the effect that
mans work is from sun to sun, but
woman's work is never done. The
Virginia Press is loud in it's praises
of the women workers of the Old Do
minion. The press of the other
States doubtless has quite as good
ground for generous applause.
The story goes that recently the
city OF Norfolk was officially declared
to be "the dirtest city in the United
States, with one exception" This
statement was intolerable to the
women of Norfolk and the WOman's
Club went "manfully" to work to
clean UP the city. Municipal clean
ing day was proclaimed by Mayor
Riddick at the instance of the club
and much cleaning was done on that
day, April II. But the city is not
yet as clean as the Woman's Club
desired, and the good work goes on.
The Richmond Tfmes-Dispatch de-
clares that the women OF Virginia
are doing their part, in fact more
than their part, in promoting the
cause of popular education.
The Roanoke Times says that as a
result originated by the women of
that city, the School Board will ask
the City Council for an additional ap-
preparation of $12 900 to be devoted
to needed improvements in several OF
the school buildings
Several years ago Il handful of
Richmond women put their pretty
heads together and formed a plan to
improve the school system. AS a re-
suit there is the Richmond Education
Association, and all who know any
thing about it are proud to admit
that this association, started and
largely maintained by women, has
doae more than any single agency to-
ward awakening popular interest in

mond but throughout the entire State

OF course it is not necessary to GO
out OF Texas to find willing women
workers to praise for good work
There is not place in the State that
does not owe the city pride and pub

The Trained Nurse.
Gods Latest Gift to the World of
Pain, Says Rev. DR.. Witherspoon.
Richmond Times Dispatch. May 81.

Richmond Times Dispatch, May ~.
Rev. DIR. Jere Witherspoon preached
the baccalaureate sermon before the
graduating class and nurses of the
Memorial Hospital at the Grace
Street Presbyterian Church last
night. His sermon was very impress
sive and was closely followed by the
large congregation. His subject was
"The Heavenly Pattern" Hebrews
S:5.
"God and His relation to us, my
friends" he began, care the two great
facts of all religion. The material
list, deist and atheist put Him too far
away from man, and the pantheist
brings Him too close.
Character should be built accord
ing to the pattern OF God. In the
making of character there are three
steps First. the pattern or copying
period; then the modelling or shaping
period, and last, what might be called
the type or the development of the
sign which marks the idea. The life
man lives will have the shaping of
the artists model which he sets be-
fore one. Man must ever build upon
the model revealed to him.
"God has for each life III this world
u calling, and some day, us He did to
Moses, He will call us to give instruc
tons To call ones work in life an
employment, livelihood, profession
or occupation is unworthy, and
merely signifies the gaining of wealth
or the keeping of life in the body.
Let what we do be our calling; it
links life with God, who shall reveal
to us the pattern OF our work.
Dr. Witherspoon went on to tell
the nurses that their calling was one
of mercy. 1t was noble, and de-
manded unselfish sacrifice. But there
is a great Joy and satisfaction in the
vocation, and one peculiarly fitting
to woman. The trained nurse is
Heavens latest gift to the world of
pain. She comes as Il ministering
angel, and her work is more than a
profession The nurse must be as
clean in soul as her spotless white
uniform. She must be cheerful to
comfort the tagging spirits of sick
minds and bodies. She must be true
to her calling. 1t is only God and
the stars who see her at night as she
goes about relieving the pain of the
suffering.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall TO
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grand-mothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and large guam
tity had to be taken TO get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef-
feet of sulphur in a palatable concen-
trated form, so that single grain is far
more effective than tablespoonful Of
the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart $
Calcium Waters. They are small choco-
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly
concentrated effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sui
