A VISIT TO PARIS.
Wartime Scenes Reflect the French
Spirit.

An example was presented to me
for the total abstinence OF tears as
we made our way through the mass
of departing regiments at the rail-
way station. says Louise Closer
Hale. in Harper's for March. Two
working girls we're pushing fiercely
AGAINST us and more violently assail-
ing with their tongues a companion.
1t seemed that in bidding farewell to
her soldier the third girl had been
guilty of crying. I'VE should say
things to make them laugh,' they
shoutingly admonished, and as they
depart they must remember us smil-
ing. We must always keep smiling.
1t is the priest who told us this"
We left by the Care de lEst,
which gathers in the soldiers and
sends them forth as they go and
come from the zones of war. Strange
how building can put on mobility!
1t becomes animate as does a false
face after we have stared at it for a
long while. And this great, gray
station is a guadian of the soldier,
gruf1y, roughly filled with concern
of him. The walls are placarded
with directions and advice, the wait
ing rooms given over to such slender
ease as can be offered the warrior
new to Paris. There is a cantine,
where bread, beer and coffee are free
ly served; second one secures for
the soldier with the expenditure of
two cents the dignity of club. And
always there are cots, with doctor
and nurses in attendance, for such
of those as have not felt the strain
of the trenches until they have left
them. The hospital trains come in
to the Care de la Chapelle, reserved
entirely for this sad transportation,
but it is not unusual for stalwart
man to collapse utterly of that all
ment without reason known as shock.
By day and night the vast crea-
ture accommodates the army. At
one end is a roped-off space, where
the women wait for those returning
on their short ''permission,'' and
packed thick to the platforms are
more women bidding adieu to more
men.

MATCHES OF YESTERDAY.
Famous English Flints of a Century
Ago.

Brandon. a small town in Suffolk,
England, still supplies the world with
flirt-and-steel tinder boxes, which
even the developed friction matches
of today have not made obsolete,
notes the Popular Science Monthly
for March. Elderly persons can still
tell US about the time when f1int-and-
steel were universally used; when
old rags had to be charred for tinder,
and when the sparks had to fly to
get these to catch fire. Brandon
fints have always been justly ia
nous. They were used in the kitch-
ems at home, and on cahnons in the
wars. They saw service at Water
loo, in the Crimean war, and even as
late as in the South African cam
paign. The first ore was made in
1927.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-03-22

Some time ago, The Herald called
attention to the fact that Barnwell
was going after some paved streets.
Now here comes Beaufort, which has
voted bonds for the same purpose.
The following dispatch appeared IN
the daily newspapers the other day:
Beaufort, March 17.-By vote of
81 to 16 the voters of the city have
decided to issue $4,000 of bonds for
the purpose of getting funds to pave
Bay street for about one mile. This
is the principal street of the town.
all of the business houses being 10
Gated on it. The city council has
taken the necessary steps to sell the
bonds. The city engineer has lnvestl-
gated various materials for the con-
struction of this paving and is in
clined to cement concrete as the most
satisfactory.
Now, the question is, how long is
Bamberg going to be content with be-
ing behind our neighboring towns.
Barnwell and Beaufort are small
towns and have nothing on Bamberg,
but both of them are soon going to
be ahead of us, unless we take some
action in the near future to keep
abreast of the times.

THE WHITE MANS LETTER.
How it is Franked From Town t.
Town in Africa.

1t is a pioneer custom in Africa,
East and West, that the white man S
local letter is franked from town to
town, says Jean Kenyon Mackenzie,
in the Atlantic. The black man to
whom the white man gives his letter
carries it to the headman of the next
settlement, who carries it in turn to
his brother headman down the trail; !;
and so from hand to. hand by day
and by night, with glance from any
passing white man, the letter goes
forward. Such a letter-carried as
the custom is, in a split rod from
which there hung, like flag, bit
of turkey red-changed hands that
night before my tent. And now l
write it in a white mans book that
the postmen loitered.
To stand and chat there in the
moonlight with the exile's letter in
your hands-how could you do that,
you two old heartless headmene I
watched you from my little green
tent. 1t is remembered of you that
you so delayed, while in some lonely
hamlet under that same moon a white
man sickened for a letter. And when
one gave the forked stick to the 9TH
er, it was then too late. If indeed,
as you would say, you spoke no more
than five words of gossip one to the
other, those words were five too
many. 1t is remembered of you, and
q thousand nights since when l have
waited for the mail, if it were a
moonlight night, 1 have told my
self with an extreme self-pity and a
bitterness, The carrier is gossiping
in some clearing I have seen in my
heart that man with the load of mail
upon his back, standing for hours by
friend of his, Laughing and asking
news one of the other. This conjured
vision of two black men holding up
the mail is the sad issue of an mag
ination infected beyond cleansing.
You see, saw them do it.

THIS TITLE ONCE AN INSULT.
Walpole Called ''Prime Minister
With Opprobrious Inference.

The terms premier" and prime
Minister now in most mems
mouths, came to us by accident, just
as the cabinet itself was a ''constitu-
tional freak The title of premier
under the form of premier minis
ter" appeared in 1886, and was >ap-
piled to Lord Sunderland. Prime
minister, from previous connection
with the sole ministers of foreign
despots, was first used opprobriously
in the following century, and bestow-
ed with insulting inference on Wal
pole. though Indignantly disowned by
him, as later by Lord North. But the
word premier takes us back to the
golden age of Greece. Describing
the dominant influence of Pericles on
Athenian politics, Thucydides says
that what was nominally a democ-
racy became in reality rule by a
premier" Qiterally "a foremost
man. .")-London Chronicle.

Wild Silk.

- An out-of-the-way illustration of
the way the war has affected remote
industries is found in the new boom
that the wild silk industry of ia
pan is now undergoing. This silk is
called habutai and derives it's wild
ness not from the appearance of the
finished product upon the wearer but
from the fact that it is made from
the cocoons of the wild silkworm,
which flourish in many parts of the
islands but which did not come con-
spicuously into public notice until
1907, when there was a preliminary
boom, following the Russo-Japanese
war. Exports of silk in general,
meanwhile, have increased to an
amazing extent, the amount for the
first nine months of 1916 having
been S92,077, 900, as compared with
s4S,S32, 900, an increase of s43,245,-
600 for the period. The increase is
due in part to increased quantities
of the raw material, but also to much
higher prices paid by the people of
the United States and France, the
latter country still being heavy
buyer, despite war conditions.-Port-

\ Camp-Meetiug Story.

Now that the camp-meeting sea-
son is drawing to close, this good
story comes from representative
from Mississippi:
A whangdoodle, hard-shell preach
er was holding forth and wound up a
flaming sermon with peroratlon
which came near taking the shingles
off the meeting house. He said:
MY brethren and sistern if a
mans full of religion you can't hurt
him. There was the three Arabian
children; they put .em in fiery fur
mace, hetted seven times hotter than
it could be het, an it didn't swinge
har on their heads; no, not single
har. An there was John the Evang-
eler: they put him-an' where do
you think brethren and sistern, they
put him? Why they put him in a
caladronic of billing water an lie
an billed all noght an it didn't crack
his shell. An there was Daniel;
they put him in lions den, an
what, my fellow travellers an COM
panions in sin, do you think he was
put in lions den for? Why, fer
prayin' three times a day. Don't be
alarmed, brethren and sistern; l
don't think any of you will ever get
in a lions den.''
