An Unconventional Duke.

Kew Parish church had among for mer worshipers the first Duke of Cam bridge, strong but unconventional churchman, who made audible con- ments while the service was in prog ress. To the exhortation, Let us pray" he would reply, By all means" and during dry summer he added to the Amen after the prayer for rain, "But we sha'n't get it till the wind changes" On hearing the words, ''For we brought nothing into the world; neither may we carry anything out, 7" he would ejaculate.

MOTHERS BAKING DAY,
Modern Conditions Make It Practically
 Thing of tho Past.

U
 . Thing of the Past.
 We do not propose either to affirm or to deny that the bakers make better bread than mother used to make" There used to be as many kinds of mothers as there are now varieties of bakers. And comparisons are Odious.
 But the baker is to be hailed as one of the chief benefactors of the age, on grounds which take no account of the relative merits of bread. He has eman- cipated women, at least one day out of the week. He has given vast army of mothers more time to perform the duties other than those which have to do with the kitchen.
 It needs no patriarch to remember what baking day used to be like. In summers heat the stove had to be fired up to the melting point, and mother had to knead the dough until her back ached, and stick around in the kitchen lest the crust become too hard, and watch against hundred other mis. chances which are to be expected when the heat releases the chemical action of the ingredients in the bread pan.
 Baking day is a thing of the past in thousands of homes-at least, the old fashioned baking day is. The bread may be better or worse, but the baker Is to be regarded as a benefactor in that he has practically put an end to that old roasting experience which for. fo e,f one day out of seven.-St. Louis Times.

The recent sinking OF the Lusitanla
by a German torpedo brings TO mind
an incident of our own civil strife in
the COS, in which the humanitarian
side Of the South is strongly contrast
ed to the tactics employed in the
present war. In December. 1862.
when Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes,
who is now recognized by many for
eign powers as being one OF the
greatest naval commanders the world
has produced. was cruising off Cuba.
the Ariel, a Yankee steamer owned
bv Cornelius Vanderbilt. bitter enc
my of the South. was sighted. 1t was
especially desired by Semmes TO de-
stroy this vessel, as Vanderbilt was
doing all in his power to injure the
South. The Alabama. Admiral SEM
mess vessel, signalled the Ariel' to
surrender. bu, instead Of surrender
ing she put on full steam in an Ell
fort to escape capture. Semmes saw
that the Ariel had a large number
of women and children on board. and
was at a loss as to how to proceed
without imperilling the passengers.
The Ariel had far greater speed than
the Alabama, so Semmes ordered one
of the Alabama's guns trailed on the
Ariel. but was careful to instruct that
only the top mast was to be fired at.
The first shot tore away most OF the
mast, and the Ariel Immediately ca
pitulated. Pandemonium reigned
among the passengers, who knew the
deadly fire of the Alabamas eX-
perienced gunners. Semmes sent
aboard the Ariel messenger TO calm
their fears and assure them that in
nocent lives would not be sacrehced.
The Ariel also had on board 14o fed
eral soldiers. Semmes found that al

made the Ariel a prisoner of war and
took her in tow, hoping to capture
another vessel within few days to

other vessel was encountered, and,
for reasons not ascribed by Admiral
Semmes, he could not take the prls-
oner into port. so after holding her
as long as he could, he released the
Ariel. on a bond given by her COM

PAPER CLOTHES.
Latest Idea of Sanitation Experts.
Cheaper Than Linen or Cotton.

Paper dishes of every kind and pa
per underclothing were very seriously
proposed as the next advance step
of sanitation among civilized peoples
by a noted hygienist before the con-
gress of sanitation, according to Lon
don Tit-Bits. Substitute the fire for
the wash tub in every possible partic-
ular OF life, was his demand; and, TO
show that such substitution was pos
sible now in a great many details, he
had obtained and he exhibited great
quantity of samples of paper goods.
He quoted the results of an inves-
.tigation which showed that cups,
plates, bowls and other tableware,
taken as samples in hotels and
homes, had been found to be infect
ed with dangerous germs, even when
they were supposed to have been
thoroughly washed. And he told of
hospitals that have adopted the pre-
caution of giving \all the dishes an
extra bath in a strong antiseptic mix
ture.
Accordingly, he suggested that the
doctors attending the congress should
advocate the general use of paper ta-
blecloths, paper napkins, paper
plates, cups. saucers and bowls, and
paper serving dishes; so that after
each meal most of the tableware
could be burned, leaving only a
small number of dishes and the sill
verware to be boiled before they were
again used. Paper Innings could be
used in indispensable china dishes.
The most novel Of his sanitation
ideas was that underclothing should
be made of paper and destroyed after
it has been used once. Paper under
clothing is entirely practicable now,
and would not be much more expen-
sive than ordinary cotton underwear
at current laundry rates, and per-
haps as cheap as linen clothing.
Paper yarn is new, yet it is begin
ming to be heard from in many tex
tile lines. Some kinds are almost as
stout as ordinary textiles. and are
made to withstand laundering. For
pager underolothing, however, a
cheap grade of paper yarn would be
satisfactory, yarn having only small
proportion of the textile strength OF
cotton or linen AS each garment
would be burned after it had become
soiled, there would be no occasion
to use yarn adapted for hard wear.
At the same time it would easily be
possible to make up paper yarns
that would be as smooth and absorb
ent as cotton or linen.
Underclothes woven from such
yarn would be as comfortable as
could be desired The hygienist es-
timated that the cost of such paper
garment. with the complete saving of
laundering costs. ought to make the
use of paper clothes for one wearing
not an extravaganza.

We extend our hand in congratula-
tions to Editor Wigfall Cheatham, OF
the Edgefeld Chronicle. He has seen
the light. Hereafter he is going to
sell his newspaper merchandise. The
Chronicle is good paper, and it has
wonderfully improved lately, and we
fully expect that with this.new rule
pu, into effect further improvement
will be made. When a newspaper
gives its space away promiscuously
an injury is done the whole newspa-
per fraternity. just the same as II
a merchant gave away groceries in
stead of selling them he would be
running the business Of all other mer-
chants. The following notice appear
ed in the Chronicle last week:
After June first next. this paper
will discontinue the publication OF
all free special notices, rule which,
in a measure, affects such religious,

tuaries, as we have sometimes hlther-
to run without charge. The rate Tor
such notices will be one cent per
word payable in advance.
While at first this may seem eX-
traordinary. it is not. On the con-
trary it is sustained by sound policy
and established precedent. One has
only to glance over the columns OF
the average country weekly to ap-
preciate the amount Of space and
labor donated without price to en-
terprises and organizations having
no higher claim upon charity than
commercial advertisers who pay reg
ularly for the same service.
Now the Chronicle stands ready
ALWAYS to cooperate actively. in the
furtherance of every worthy cause,
and believes it can best accomplish
this by placing at the disposal of oar
churches. lodges and other like or
carnations a column, or more if
necessary, in which each may insert
a standing notice of its time and
place of service or meetings.
