Carolina Rice.

An important ruling has been made
by the United States department Of
agriculture in the matter of brand
ing various food and drug supplies
which will materially protect Caro-
lima rice from the many inferior and
spurious commodities on the market
which have contributed in no small
degree to the dullness Of the local
rice industry. Under the ruling of
the department, rice which may be
grown from Carolina seed in another
State may bear the name of Caro-
lima" rice but it must also be stated
in what State or Territory the rice is
grown If in other than North and
South Carolina. No small amount
OF harm has been done to the fine
quality Of South Carolina rice by the
branding of Louisiana and Texas rice
as Carolina Rice" Under the new
ruling now the planters and dealers
in the Southwestern States who at
tempt any such deception will lay
themselves over to prosecution and
with the filing of the complaint
against the false practices, the gov
ernment will be on the lookout for
those who violate the law. The la
beling of the rice, telling the State
that 1t is grown in when not actually
raised in South or North Carolina
will prove of great protection to the
Carolina rice industry.

Is Christ Were TO Come.

Father Bernard Vaughan scored So
cial evils in a sermon recently in Aber-
deem in which, speaking on the text,
Seeing the city He wept over it." he
asked if our Lord came to a typical
modern city would He not weep to see
the terrible yawning chasm between the
rich and the poor, a chasm too deep to
be filled up. too wide to be bridged
over? Would He not weep to see the
gross and terrible inequalities. the poor
without room to live and one in every
five dying in the poorhouse? Would He
not weep if He passed into some of
their counting houses, crossed the coun-
ter Of some of their shops, or went into
some of their factories and saw the
well-to-do men grinding the faces of
the poor and happy to toss them a
sweated wage?
Again. if our Lord were to pass into
so-called society, what would be His
impression of the laziness and luxury.
what would He feel about people who
found the best hardly good enough for
them: those who were defying the laws
of race and committing racial suicide;
those who made so little of the marriage
ties that they tried through the
law to have the knot cut: what would
He hink of the falling birthrate and
the rising divorce record? He would

Alfonso's Generosity.

The King of Spain. it is stated, has
just performed two generous and SYM
pathetic actions, which will tend to en-
nance his popularity throughout the
peninsula. He recently, out of his own
pocket found the money for 911,0D to
purchase $4,000 white helmets, such as
the English troops wear in India, for
his soldiers toiling and fighting under
a burning sun at Melilla. Among the
wounded soldiers brought to him at his
Madrid palace was one whose life had
only been saved owing TO the fact that
the Moorish bullet was intercepted by
the watch he carried in his tunic. The
watch was spoiled, however, and by the
way in which the man related the Incl

been a good deal more upset by the de-
struction of his timekeeper than by his
wound. Never mind" said the young
king, Il will have another watch sent

BAD MENTAL HABITS.

If We're asked what was the great
est foe to beauty in both man woman
| would say, not errors in diet, moi
lack of exercise, not oYerwOTk, nor cor
sets, not any one of these, but bad
mental habits. If we observe closely
the faces of the people we meet at
random on the street or in the gFeu,
shops, we will observe that nearly al
of them are characterized by the linet
mouth, the drawn brows and other IA
cial disfigurements which accompany
bad mental states.
What do l mean by bad mental
states? L mean anger, fear, worry
anxiety, irritability, regret, envy, jeal-
ousy, lack of trust in ones self and in
the Great God-aIl of these are bad
mental states; and as these destroy
beauty, not only by interfering with the
action of the vital organs, but by di-
rectly disfiguring the expression of the
face-Dr w. r. c. Latson, in the Out

A Virtue of couraue.

Many people are so afraid to die that
they have never begun to live. But
courage emancipates us and gives us
to ourselves, that we may give our
selves freely and without fear to God.
How sweet and clear and steady is the
life into which this virtue enters day
by day, not merely in those great
flashes of excitement which come in the
moments of crisis, but in the presence
of the hourly perils, the continual con-
flicts
Not to tremble at the shadows which
surround us, not to shrink from the foes
who threaten us. not to hesitate and
falter and stand despairing still among
the perpleXities and trials of our life,
but to move steadily onward without
fear, if only we can keep ourselves
without reproach-surely that is what
the psalmist meant by good courage and
strength of heart, and it is a most COM

Predicted His Great Future.

Archbishop Bourne of Westminster
has known what real poverty means.
even when, the archbishop was young
and poor, there was one who foresaw
and not only foresaw but foretold, a
great future for the poor boy. This was
his aunt. a Miss Bourne, with whom the
future archbishop lived in penury and
obscurity. A friend who called one day
upon Miss Bourne found her making
magnificent piece of Irish lace and, in
reply to an inquiry, Miss Bourne said:
This is for my little nephew when he
becomes a bishop" DR.. Bourne is one
of the finest orators in the church to-
day, and can preach as we'll in the
French language as he can in English.

Look for the Pleasant Side.

1t is a great pity that some people
grow bitter as they grow old. It seems
as though the more teeth they lose the
more they want to bite.
There can be no possible harm in a
good-natured laugh. Indeed, it is just
as truly a duty to look for the pleasant
side of life-and while looking to laugh
at the rollicSing humor which it some
times displays-as it is to see its more
serious and sombre side.
The man who honestly believes that
he is always walking through vale of
tears either has the dyspepsia or else
has got hold of the wrong end of relig-
ious conviction. The poet says:
This life is not all sunshine,
Nor is it yet all showers;
But storms and Gains alternate
AS thorns among the flowers"

Heroism of a French Bishop.

During the recent epidemic of typhoid
fever at St Brieuc, France, hundreds
died Its ravages have left sorrow in
the hearts of the people. Throughout
the terrible siege the bishop, Mgr. Mo-
relle proved himself the true father and
shepherd of his flock. He visited the
stricken, he encouraged the well TO
greater efforts toward checking the
dread fever. Now that the epidemic
has passed away. he has issued letter
of thanks to those who gave their serv-
Ices, and of coincidence for those who
have lost their dear ones. He says: Il
shall never forget the miracles that
We're inspired in the hearts of the fami-
lies Of our city, by the affection which
bound them together and sustained
them during those unending weeks of
untiring devotion. All that fondness,
all that intelligent, painstaking, tender
care, that struggle of every moment
against the terrible evil, were not
crowned with success, and only too
,ttea death was the victor. But what
o. those Christian deaths full of resig-
7n-made happy by the hope of the
ing heaven? What of those heroic
lces, in which young men con-
i their weeping parents and offered
2 their happiness the flower Of youth?
WHAT Of the last breath of seminarians
stricken before they had reached the
altar steps and smiling even in their

A Christmas Legend.

BY Marc Polo writ, It's said,
This quaint old legend there l found
And loved it as l read.
In Persia once dwelt three wise kings,
Who heard from Palestine that there
A wondrous Prophet had been born.
They sought him, bearing gifts most
rare.
The first king was so very old
His long white beard was white as
snow,
His gift was of the purest gold.
IF mine he choose, an earthly king
is he 1 know
The second king lin manhood's prime)
For gift brought frankincense, most
rar=.
IF mine ne choose, twill be sublime;
I'll know the great, true God is
there,'
The third, q slender beardless boy,
His gift of precious myrrh had borne,
eff mine he choose, I'll know with joy
The true physician has been born"
They found the babe. the legend tells,
Each offered it his gift with awe.
1t gently smiled and took all three,
So then they knew they saw
In his one person. this strange thing,
The true Physician. God and King.

nMy Old Kentucky Home"
(Story of the Origin of the Famous
Song)

(Story of the Origin of the Famous
Song.)
The song was written by Stephen
Collins Foster. a resident of Pennsyl-
vania. while he and his sister were on
visit to Judge John Rowan, short
distance east of Bardstown, KY. One
beautiful morning, while the slaves were
at work in the corn field, and the sun
was shining with a mighty splendor on
the waving grass-first giving it the
color of d light red, then changing it
to a golden hue-there were seated
upon a bench in front of the Rowan
homestead two young peOple-a brother
and a sister, up in the top of a tree
was a mocking bird warbling its sweet
notes Over in the hidden recess of a
small brush the thrush's mellow song
could be heard. A number of small
negro children were playing not far
away When Foster had finished the
first verse of the song, his sister took
it from his hand and sang in a sweet,
mellow voice:
1.-The sun shines bright in the old Ken
lucky home;
TITS summer. the darkies are gay;
.
in the bloom.
While the birds make music all the
day.
1.-THE young folks roll on the little
cabin floor,
All merry, all happy, all bright;
By 'n-by hard times comes a-knockin'
at the door
Then, my old Kentucky home, good
night"
On her finishing the first verse the
morcking bird descended to a lower
branch. The feathery songster drew his
head to one side, and appeared to be
completely enraptUred at the wonderful
voice of the young singer. When the
last sweet note died away upon the air.
her fond brother sang in a deep, bass
voice:
Weep no more, my lady; oh, weep no
more today;
Well sing one song for the old Ken
lucky home,
For our old Kentucky home far away.
"a few more days for to tote the
weary load,
A few more days till we totter on the
Then, my old Kentucky home, good
night
The negroes had laid down their hoes
and rakes; the little tots had placed
themselves behind the large sheltering
trees peeping around the corner of the
house The faithful old house dog never
took his eyes off the young singers.
Everything was still; not even the stir
ring of the leaves seemed to break the
wonderful silence Again the brother
and sister took hold of the remaining
notes, and sang in sweet accents:
'They hunt no more for the 'possum
and the coon
On the meadow, the hill and the
shore;
They sing no more by the glimmer of
the moon,
On the bench by the old cabin door.
The day goes by like a shadow Ger
the heart,
With sorrow where all was delight;
The time has come when the darkies
have to part
Then my old Kentucky home, good
night.
The head must bow and the back will
have to bend
Wherever the darby may go;
A few more days and trouble all will
end
In the fields where the sugar cane
grow
AS the song was finished tears
flowed down the old peoples cheeks;
the children crept from their hiding
place behind the trees, their faces
wreathed In smiles; the mocdng bird
and the thrush sought their homes in
the thicket, while the old dog still lay
basking in the sun. = Bardstown (Ky)
