Influence of Love.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
The mother heart does not need soft
satin and lace and embroidered linens
and rose-hooded candles to make itself
felt. 1t beats just as devotedly and as
happily under cheap cottons as under
silken folds; it watches in the silence OF
the night by the lowly couch OF some
little sufferer as tenderly as it does by
the side Of some other little patient in
the splendid mansion: it reaches out to
the convict behind prison doors with the
same love that glories in the success Of
a renowned statesman. Mother love in
its countless combinations furnishes a
theme as old as the hills perhaps. but one
which never seems really to grow old and
one from which the noblest of inspira-
tons are drawn.
In nearly all relations Of life. from
those of blood to those of friendship,
wonderful combinations can be made
combinations which illustrate to the world
the great heights which a pure love can
attain, combinations which act as gigan-
tic reflectors. which not only send light
into dark places, but which draw all
within reach into the circle of their
brightness.

Prof. John Dewey Of Columbia was
talking about legislator who had turned
traitor to the suffrage cause. "A

Clayton jail story. A convict in the

little flirting over the wall. He hirted
for some weeks with girl who MIXED

Pepsin Fifty Years Old.

From the Hygienic Gazette.
The Introduction of pepsin as a re-
medal agent effected complete revo-
luton in the method of restoring to
normal the ailments which in the old
days were classed in group as dys-
pepsia. Just half a century ago the
late John Carrick, the eminent physio-
logical chemist, and the father Of
physiological products in the United
States, made possible a new epoch in
American medicine by producing the
first pepsin. Pepsin had been made in
a small way in Europe before Mr.. Car
rick's enterprise caused it to be intro
duced here. as it was originally sug-
gested by Dr. Corvisant Of Paris. The
quality was so poor. however, that its
use was distinctly limited.

Poverty!
From Leslie's Weekly

Poverty has always existed. There is
no remedy. 1t can be alleviated, but not
abolished. No matter who breaches any
other doctrine, 1t is a false and not a
true preachment. 1t is against the in
exorable logic of all ages. Statesmen
have sought remedy and failed; dema-
gogues have offered their quack medt-
cines and they have been eagerly &C
cepted, only to be finally rejected, one
after the other. Philosophers, students,
teachers md preachers have all had their
say, and all sought their remedies. but
poverty still exists. When there is no
more sin we shall have no more poverty.

Little Profit to Manufacturer

II have always claimed that the profit
made by the manufacturer of the cloth
in a suit of clothes did not exceed %
cents to % cents. The report supports
that claim. The wicked statement sent
broadcast that the present tariff law
added s., to each suit of clothes sold to
the American people is proved false by
the report.
THE excessive rates on low grade mix
ed goods in schedule X caused by the
excessive compensatory rate has not been
taken advantage of by the American
manufacturer for the reason, no doubt,
that competition would not allow him to
do so. but they have afforded the enemies
of protection an opportunity to severely
criticise the schedule.
The revision of schedule X along the
lines l have suggested will make a fairly
protected bill for the wool grower and
wooden manufacturer and eliminate all
the needless and useless high rates of
duty on the low grade, shoddy mixed
goods

friends and admirers showered Christ

her physicians instructions she was not

her for short while.
Miss Barton was forced to give up
her active work as president of the
American Red Cross about five years

her own failing health, but she has
always been intensely interested in the
Red Cross and active in more ways

In 1881 Miss Barton introduced the
Red Cross in the United States. and
from that time until the American Red
