Old Shawls Are in STYLE.

1t only is necessary to have a revival
to invent way to use the Indian and
Paisley shawls that have been long laid
away as white elephants. One brilliant
India shawl With reds predominating
was adapted into wrap by being
bordered around witt heavy black fur,
finished with great red tassels at the
points and caught into a burnous hood
at the back. Fur Is commonly used as
trimming OH the more expensive coats,
and one of the best was of tan cloth,

with broad collar and facing down

triumphs of the tailors art, have collars,

Catholics in the British Empire.

The English Catholic Directory for
the present year gives ten and half
millions as the number of Catholics in
the British Empire, ireland, of course,
included, says> the Freeman's Journal.
1t is interesting to learn that there
are in the United Kingdom 40 Catho-
lie peers, or members Of the House
of Lords, 16 Catholic lords, not peers,
40 Catholic baronets, 81 Catholic
knights, 20 Catholic Privy Councillors,
II Catholic members of the House Of
Commons, and 16 Catholic chaplains in
the army.
Needless to say, the Catholic men,
bers of the House Of Commons are al
most all from Ireland. Only four of
them sit for constituencies in Great
Britain, which. means that in all Eng
land and Scotland, with 5s7 members
in the House of Commons, there is
only so much of liberality as to allow
four of them to be Catholics. Not a
great deal to boast of in the way of
religious tolerance in the twentieth
century. How different is the spirit
of the Catholic people of Ireland may
be seen from the fact that in the Irish
Nationalist Parliamentary party there
are nearly dozen Protestant MEM
bers, all of them elected in districts
in which Catholics are the overwhelm-
ing majority both of the electorate and
the population. We hear Of Protestant
objections to Home Rule for Ireland on
the ground that an Irish Parliament;
having, as it would naturally have, a
large Catholic majority-the country
being by large majority Catholic
would prosecute Professionals. OF course,
those who put forward that argument
know it to be grossly dishonest, I'M

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.
A Bill Introduced in Congress to
Raise Their Salaries

=
+ The rural mail carriers in South
Carolina and throughout the country
will receive 5000 per annun hereafter
instead Of the amount they are now
receiving, should the bill which has
been introduced IN the house for this
purpose by Mr., Aiken pass. A dis
patch from Washington to the Col
unbia Record says Mr.. Aiken IS
thoroughly convinced that the mail
carriers of, the state are too poorly
paid and that they should be better
taken care of than they are at present.
We agrees with Mr.. Aiken. Wnsn the
character Of the work performed blythe
carriers is taken into consideration,
and the expense they have IN keeping
horses and vehicles, nine hundred Is
not to much to pay tnem.
1t Is said there Is danger that the
State may lose many Of its free deliV-
cry routes at an early date, according
to what representative Ellerbs and
Johnson say concerning the matter.

ABOUT TIE WEATHER,
This Year to Be One of kains and
Freshets.

Freshets.
Speaking of the weather, says the
NsWberry Observer, this is not going
to be a good year for low ground corn,
for there are going to be heavy rains
and freshets and overfows of the bot
tom lands. This Is not The O5serv.
er's original prognostication, but Mr..
D. E Sease Ct NewberrY county says
so. He bases bis opinion on the
weather of the 25th of January.
He Gays he has observed for the last
forty years that II January 25th is a
bright clear day the bottoms do not
overh)w and Of course there are good
crops cf bottom corn; but If the 255h
is cloudy or raining look out for over
flows. The 25th this year was decid-
edly cloudy and rainy. Another citi-
zsn's observation for the past three
years confirms Mr.. Sease's forty years
observation. So If anybody goes ahead
now, In the face Of prophecy, and
plants his bottoms In corn and loses
bis crop he will have himself to
blame.
Speaking further Of the weather it
Is we'll enough to remember that
ground hog day is near at hand, and
we shall therefore know soon whether
we are to have an early or lata spring.
Ground hog day Is February 2ld, and
it Is we'll established fact, though
some skeptical people question 1t,
that If the ground hog comes out Of
bis hole that day and sees his shadow
be will hasten back to continue bis
Information for many weeks to come;
out If he does not see his shadow he
will remain out, and spring may be
expected early. OF course this all
depends upon whether the second day
Of February is clear day or cloudy.
Everybody except the highly skeptical
will watch with interest for ground
hog day to see whether it is to be
clear or cloudy aud whether, there.
