A Bishops Ready Wit.

The Church Family Nwspaper
says: "A good story is told of the
late Bishop of Ripon, who, when ad-
dressing an open air meeting on one
occasion, was interrupted by an ath-
efst who asked him If he believed
tht Jonah was swallowed by a
whale.
When l go to heaven" said the
bishop, 'I'l ask ] onah."
But supposing," the other per-
sisted, that he is not there"
Then you will have to ask him, -
was the retort. And the crowd
laughed uproariously while the ath-
eist skunk away abashed.-Balti-

TURKS MAssACRED THOUSANDS

Twenty Thousand Moslem and Fiji
teen Thousand Christians Slain in
Last Two Months.
London, Jan. 29.-The Constanti-
nople correspondent of The Times,
after examining the charges and
counter charges of massacres, ar
rives at the conclusion that Mos
lens and Christians are equally
blamable. He estimates that in the
whole of European Turkey 10000
Moslem and $1,000 Christian non
combatants have been killed during
the war, and considers that Europe
would be better employed in re-
lieving the suffering of the survivors
than in attempting to fix the respon-
sibility for the massacres.

In these days of star-shooting !;
the days when all kinds of reforms
are being handed to the parents, the
mother feels that she has great re-
sponsibilities. And she has. She
must not only bear and rear and
nurse-and love and often lose her
off-spring-but she must ever keep
her ear to the ground to know what
evil may befall the loved one. This
is not patent medicine advertise
ment. 1t is the relation. of a fact.
Pneumonia and mumps, and scarlet
fever and measles/come along and
all the ills that>childhood is heir to
and the doctor is called in, and
generally he pulls the hopeful
through.
But 1T is generally understood
these times that all the diseases that
rob homes of little ones Group and
Pneumonia are the most insi lious.
They battle the skill of physicians,
often, possibly the physician is not
called in time. This is why every
home should be supplied with a
bottle OF Cowans Prepa ration, the
celebrated and marvellous remedy
for Pneumonia and Group Colds

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

We clip the following from The
Carolina Spartan, which affords food
for thought as well as plant food:
What the state commissioner of
agriculture does not know about
plant food and soil improvement is
not worth trying to find out. He has
probed the depths of agricultural
science and wrenched by main
strength natures secrets from her.
Ask him; he knows it all. G. W.
Harrelson, an intelligent farmer of
Andrews, S. c., wrote a letter to him,
asking for information which he and
other intelligent farmers needed. He
said:
Dear Sir: Please give me the
commercial value of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash. Where can
they be bought? Can i buy these
things and mix my own fertilizer and
save the fertilizer dealers expense
of mixing and a great saving in rail-
road freights? / am small farmer
When l buy my fertilizer from the
$40 per ton for c. S. meal and other
fertilizers in proportion, and can't
stand it."
Either the commissioner was ig-
norant of the information desired, or
else he did not wish to enlighten
Mr.. Harrelson. Instead of telling him
the price of phosphoric acid, potash
and nitrogen by the pound at any
port of entry like Charleston or Sa-
vannah, he advises him to let all
commercial fertilizer alone and use
ground limestone. ground phosphate
rock and leguminous crops. That is
certainly giving Mr.. Harrelson
ground stone when he earnestly
asks for bread. If such a question
had been propounded to a real far
mer he would have answered it and
not lodged around it.
We have not seen the rrice of
plant food as fixed by the fertilizer
dealers for this year. The last we
noticed particularly put the price of
prosphoric acid at 1a cents: potash
cents, and nitrogen at about IA
cents Not being paid high salary
for giving out such information, the
figures for this year are not at hand
At the above prices a ton of cotton
seed meal, best quality, would con-
tain plant food worth S2O.4O. Add
the freight from Charleston to your
depot and you viii have the real
value. Wter Mr.. Harrelson paid s32
10 $40 ton he paid too much, and.
of course, he could not stand 1T. If
farmer would buy the acid phos-
phate. potash and dried blood he
could do his own mixing. If he uses
only few tons 1t would be better to
buy his fertilizer mixed. If Mr.
Harrelson would ask question at
this office, he would secure a reason
able answer. 1t is good sign to
see farmers investigating all such
questions. 1t shows that they are
thinking and moving forward.

PATHETIC PLEA FOR CHILDREN
Words of Charles Kingsley Worth
Heedlng by Every Man and Wom-

Register.

Do not deceive yourselves about the
little dirty, offensive children in the
street. If they be offensive to you,
they are not to him that made them.
Take heed that ye despise not one
of these little ones; for l say unto you
that in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my father which
is in heaven" Is there not in every
one OF them, as in you, the light that
nghteth every man that cometh into
the world? And know you not who that
light Is, and what he said Of little
children? Then take heed, | say, lest
you despise one Of these little ones.
Listen not to the Pharisee when he
says: Except the little child. be con-
yerted, and become as l am, he shall
In nowise enter into the kingdom Of
heaven. But listen to the voice of him
who knew what is in man, when he
said: Except ye be converted, We
shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven" Their souls are like their
bodies, not perfect but beautiful
enough and fresh enough to shame
anyone who shall dare to look down
upon them. Their souls are like their
bodies, hidden by the rags, foul with
the dirt Of what we miscall civiliza-
tion. But take them to the pure
stream, strip off the ugly, shapeless
rags, wash the young limbs again, and
you shall find them, body and soul,
fresh and 1.-THE, graceful and capable
