Elixir of Youth.

In former times elder flowers were
treasured not only by lovers of hedge
row beauty but by those who desired
to preserve their own beauty and
youth. According to the seventeenth
century prescription the elder flowers
were to be gathered on midsummer
day, powdered and put into borage
water. which was TO be drunk daily for
a month. the first thing In the morni. g
and the last thing at night. This was
much priced elixir of youth. BY COM
mon consent there has always been
something supernatural about the elder
tree. In Denmark II is protected by
the elder mother. without whose leave
1t Is dangerous to pluck the flower In
Germany, the hat should be taken of
to It. And in England 1t has been
varlously considered the tree Of the
cross and the tree upon which Judas
hanged himself. to be treated with
reverence or fear accOrdingly.-London

FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is flue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, himsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews OF
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this Aue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco y0n are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to 81 90 perpound; Schnapps is sold
at soc per pound in SC. cuts, strictly

ANDREW CARNEGIE.

From Life.
 Andrew Carnegie is a product of hyper borean Scotland, upon which has been superimposed a blend of ptchblende, Presbyteriansm and Pittsburg ethics, Harveyized and haud-polished. Andrew cut his eye-teeth at six weeks, wrote his autobiography at ten, and made his first speech on altruism when just twelve weeks old. He is as modest as B. Shaw. as reticent as T. Roosevelt, as shirkins as pr. Munyon, as tactful as Ben Odell, as popular as Platt, as guileless as Harri- man and as rich as mud. He is philan' thropic, but hardly charitable; everything he gives has a ball and chain with 1t. and is accompanied by brass band, a balloon ascension, salvos of artillery and orations Andrew hates ostentation, loves self -effacement, breaches peace and prac- tises publicity. He is the Ponce de Leon of commercialism and discovered the secret of perpetual youth for infant in- dustres in the tariff. He is self-made man and looks it; no consistent Christian is reverent or sacrilegious enough to lay the blame on Providence.
