Error Due to Slip of Type.

The following, which is repub-
lished word for word and letter for
letter just as it appeared in one of
our exchanges, serves to show that
type behaves itself unseemly when
one is most anxious for it to be cor
rect:
"Some of the various literary
clubs of the city might devote one
meeting month to the use of die
tionary and the derivation of some
of the common words. The pro-
.nunciation would also be an inter-
esting study. Many of our reading
people do not know how to use a
dictionary"

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH
CAROLINA.

The teachers scholarships in the
University of South Carolina, worth
500 in money and exemption from
fees, offer a fine chance for the
young men of this county. See the
advertisement on another page of
this paper.
Teaching is one of the best ca
reers open to the strong young men
of the State, as high schools are
multiplying upon every hand, call
ing for trained men at fair salaries,
and with prospects of large useful
ness.
The University of South Carolina
is now under a full head of steam.
Efficiency has marked the past ses-
sion to remarkable degree. 443
students were present. A new al-
ditorium is now building, which
will be of great advantage The
separate Y. M. G. A. building, with
permanent secretary giving his
whole energy to the moral and re-
ligious life of the students, is a fact
of prime importance. The spacious
gymnasium with good baths, the
modern infirmary with a trained
nurse in attendance, are splendid
means of insuring the health of the
students.
The outreach of the University
in many forms of public service is
gripping the people of the whole
State. Close attention is given to
the individual student.
The growth of the Law School
has been signal.
Columbia offers many advantages
for struggling young men to sup
port themselves while they are
studying in the University. No
matter how poor boy may be, he
he can get full college education
at the University.
There is Business Course with
fine facilities.
All in all, the progress of the
University during recent years as
regards attendance, efficiency. and
the spirit of public service is in
spring.

Uneuually Yoked.

Farmers who work oxen know
what that means and they know
how unsatisfactory is the work
done by a pair of oxen when une'
aually yoked. There is no way OF
getting them to pull in harmony SO
that each shall bear its own burden
In business affairs there are part.
ners sometimes who do not match
well. One is a quick starter and
the other slow and deliberate.
So they move by jerks and jolts.
The sooner they dissolve the part
nership the better for both of
them.
Buta man and woman, unequal
ly yoked for life, with no tact in
adjusting the yoke, have hard
road to travel. The farther they
go, the more CALLING the yoke be-
comes.
Out in Missouri farmer from a
rural district, where they say
'dawg" and "hoss'' and "yander"
and believe in moon signs, married
a CITY widow who was educated and
refined. Husband and neighbors
soon began to laugh at her on ac-
count of her city stuck up" ways.
She applied for a divorce and got
it. If she had properly considered
conditions first she would not have
yoked up with a man totally dit ~
ent from her in all his tastes, hablts
and associations.
A few days ago marriage was
annulled because a man who was a
Protestant married Catholic girl.
He promised to be married by a
Catholic priest, but after the cere-
mony was performed by a Protes-
tant he refused to have the second
ceremony. He basely deceived her.
The woman in that case should
never have yielded to his persua-
sion to marry at all. She was
weak and foolish and he was a de-
ceiver.
Young people are going to keep
up the habit of marrying and they
are not going to adopt the plan of
trial marriages." In this state it
is life time partnership. Once
the yoke is on, it has to stay there,
whether it is easy or burdensome.
If not adjusted and made easy it
becomes heavier the longer the way
is travelled.
Here are some of the differences
which should be considered in a bu-
siness way by young people. Church
relations cause much trouble. A
man and woman, with irreconcila-
BILE church creeds and preiudices,
should never tie up at the mar
rage altar. They will never be
broken in to pull together. Such
a relation is bad for their chill
dren.
A man or woman claiming to be
an artist and nothing else should
never marry one totally opposite in
habits and taste. The woman whose
soul is attuned to heavenly har-
monies can never pull well with
clod hopper who knows only how
to SOW and reap and accumulate
dollars.
The girl brought up to do moth
ing worth while is not prepared
for taking charge of farmers
home and the chickens, garden,
milk cows and pigs. She would
have to possess a fine sense of
adaptibility to meet the require
ments of such a change in her
life.
So the final word to young peo-
pie is to study church, social. po-
litical and educational relations
before they agree to slip the same
yoke over their necks. Remember
that yokes are made of tough, sea.
soned timber and it is impossible
to bend them to suit the neck OF
the wearer. BE ye not unequally
yoked together"

BEAD TASSEL EASILY MADE
Having the Fringe and Beads. the
Decoration Is by No Means Hard
to Put Together.

A very simple bead tassel can be
made from deep fringe or from loose
beads
II you use loose beads you must
thread forty lengths OF seventy beads
each. or twenty lengths of a hundred
and thirty beads II double end IL
preferred to single one Each
length is attached to a narrow strip
Of satin ribbon which is then wound
round and round and stitched through
to prevent the middle OF the little
bundle from slipping.
II the tassel is made Of fringe, cut
on Ave inches and wrap the heading
round and sew as described above.
Next take a piece of stiRening one
inch and half long, two inches broad
at ono end and three-Quarters of an
inch at the other Cover with silk
and oversew the edges together SO as
to form a tube.
Slip the satin ribbon inside the
larger aperture In the tube and stitch
through securely. for the beads make
the tassel very heavy. Thread about
two hundred beads and wind the
string round the tube to completely
cover the silk, sewing at intervals
Make another string Of eighty beads,
double into three and sew to the top
to form a loop.
