The Meanest Slaves,

The most unhappy people in the
world are those who initiate aristoc-
rdcy in their style of living, while
such habits are not at all warranted
by their honest income. They are the
meanest of slaves. They affect to be
what they are not, and, instead of en-
jcying the confidence and respect of
those they wish to consider their as
sociates and equals, they have their
secret contempt. A gentleman of
wealth and brains will always respect
the men who live within their income,
although poorly dressed and residing
in humble homes and, then, is not the
man who lives in the cottage, free
from mortgages. wearing clothing that
has been paid for, and eating bread
trat has been honestly acquired, hap
pier and more Independent than those
who put on airs and live in style,
on other peoples money; lives as far
as possible within his income?
If your income be $500 year, aim
to live on $500. If you cant afford
to buy oysters let other people eat
them. And if you can't afford wheat
bread, substitute corn, which costs
less and is always healthy Wyandot

silk Making In the South.

There are few people who know
that North Carolina, among its diver
sfled industries, has a number of silk
mills" remarked Thomas ]. Pence Of
Raleigh
"In the town of Wadesboro there
are two silk factories, one employing
white labor operatives. They are both
prosperous and their only handicap ID
a scarcity of help. The raw material
in the form of cocoons comes from
China and costs from So to $3.50 q
pound delivered at Wadesboro, but
when spun into silk yarns 1t brings
the mill owners S. a pound and up,
according to the state of the market.
"The work, which is light and clean,
gives employment to many girls and
boys, who are able to earn from S. to
81 a week. In the plant where the
colored hands work a cheaper quality
OF silk is produced, the colored em-
ployes not having as yet acquired the
skill necessary to turn out the finest
grades. There are also other silk TAO
tories in the state, located at Fayette-

GETTING RID OF LEPRosY.
Another of the Worlds Great Dl
seases Disappearing.

seases Disappearing.
Another great horror has been re-
moved in the last few years by the
discovery that leprosy can be cured.
The fact was announced to the world
from Louisiana, where this disease
was first cured through careful, intel
ligent and continued treatment. Up
to this time it had been regarded as
the worst to which mankind was SUBJ
ject, incurable and awful in the suf-
fering it caused and the hideous con-
sequences that followed. The good
news of cures from Louisiana was
soon followed by similar favorable re-
ports from Hawaii. On Monday
came the news from Honolulu that a
re-examination of lepers confined on
the Island of Molokai, of the Hawa-
iian group, showed that one-half OF
them had been found free from lep-
rosy, and likely in consequence to be
turned loose. There are S76 lepers
On the island, and it is hoped to be
able to release at least four hundred.
One of the striking facts brought out
is that large proportion of the per-
sons condemned as lepers were
shown never to have had the disease,
and to have been committed to the
islands on wrong diagnoses-proba-
bly, through a lack of knowledge Of
the disease, and because of the PAN
icky fear it formerly caused.
The indications are that the num-
Der Of lepers believed to exist
throughout the world will be cut
down one-half or more by more
careful examination by expert leprol-
ogists, and another large portion will
be cured at an early day.-New Or

Singing Ray Caught in Net.

Visitors to Sizewell have had an
opportunity of looking at one of the
strangest fish found in the North
Sea, local fisherman named Thorpe
having trawled up a stinging ray
which belongs to the skate family
and is known by scientists as Firefske
Kingston. 1t weighed over so pounds
and greatly damaged net and gear
before it was despatched. 1t meas.
ured no less than three feet across.
The stinging ray possesses two
large pouches in which 1t secrets soles
and other fish upon which it preys. 1t
has a long whiplike tail terminating
in a forked end, which contains its
sting, and is its weapon of offence
and defence. 1t has huge liver that
yields an oil which is esteemed a val.
liable specific for burns.-London

A Turning Eraption Covered Her
From Head to Feet.

-Four years ago l suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
OF sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After be-
Ing given up by my doctor I was ad-

cura Resolvent and the treatment was
continued for about three weeks. At
the end Of that time was able to be

have felt no Ill effects since. l would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies, as I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

The Much MaIiqned Bloodhound.

The Bloodhound and the Great Dane
are discussed in Suburban Life for
January, under the title 1.-TWO Misun-
derstood Dogs" The Bloodhound, as
referred to here, is what is styled the
English Bloodhound''-not the say
age nondescript creature of Uncle
Tens Cabin" ilk. 1t is the only true
Bloodhound, the lineal descendant Of a
race of aristocrats, getting his very
name from the quality of the blood
coursing through his veins, and not, as
IS often ignorantly supposed, from his
love for human gore. A gentler, more
humanity intelligent, more reliable
creature does not breathe. Why he
has so long been deprived of more
universal companionship with man
(the very one mission of all others for
which nature intended him) is beyond
the conception of those who love him
best.

The Middle Class Restless.

It is learned that in Paris there eX-
lists an association for the defence of
the middle class. The association
met, had a banquet and freed its mind.

would come when the middle class
would burst its sandwich bonds and
make trouble for the upper and neither
class What with capitalistic en-
croachments on the one hand and the
insistence of socialistic elements on
the other, the great middle class has
already endured too much without
