1t has cost the city of Bamberg ap-
proximately $4,000 to pave Main
street and install the white way light
ing system. Now that we have it,
our very. earnest suggestion Is that
we keep it up properly. Paper and
trash thrown on the street are much
more conspicuous now that it was
before. If Bamberg has no ordinance
to this effect, we suggest that city
council speedily enact a law for
bidding the throwing of paper and
trash on Main street. Trash and
filth attract flies, and flies are almost
as bad as mosquitoes as disease
spreaders. We noticed the other
day not less than a bushel of sugar
cane "cuds" and peels in one place
on the street. There were perhaps
a thousand flies feasting on the re-
past thus provided If people wish
to chew cane, let them go home or
out of town to do it. They certain
ly should not be permitted to deposit
the result of cane chewing where
it provides an eyesore, even if it
did not attract flies.

time There was also the promise
that no man should be able to stand
before him, and as Jehovah had he ~
with Moses, so would he he with
Joshua.
The admonitiou given 10 Joshua
was that he should be strong anl
coura eeous: that he should he true
10 the law which Moses commanded
that he was not to turn TO the right
hand or TO the left, The book Of thA
law was to be constantly meditated
unon, that the lsraelites might oh

in, Then as now ignorance of the
: law could not be accepted as an ex-
, cpse for not knowing It. Men ar,
responsible for their opportunities to
know the truth. Too many men now
adays accept the Interpretation which
others have put upon the Word OF

designs for Israel.
Practical Lessons.
Joshua's life has been noted as one
Of the very few which are recorded in
history with some fulness Of detail.
In his character has been traced,
under an oriental garb, such features
as chiefly kindled the imagination of
western chrouiclers and poets in the
! Middle Ages: the character of The
I devout warrior. who has been taught
, by serving as a youth how to com
/ mand as a man: who earns by manly
vigor a. quiet. honored old age; who
! combines strength with gentleneSs,
ever looking up for and obeying the
I divine impulse with the simplicity of
a child, while he Yields great power.

'why. man was talking to me
about the good times coming. He said
we were to have the best times in the
United States that we have had for
fifty years. Prices were going back to
the old figures. The rents would come
down at least ten dollars a month.
There was going to be plenty of work
at good wages. and buildings would be
shooting up everywhere"

man. who talked to you. invite you in

no"
Then don't you believe a darned

a glass of beer. Maybe we will have

A week or two after Wang Foo's
meeting with the American party on the
Canton steamer, he was passing along
Queens Road in the latter part of the
afternoon. when he was suddenly hailed
by a lady in a passing jin-rik- sha,
oh! Mr.. Wang! Mr.. Wang!" she cried,
Just moment, please, just mo-
ment--" the coolie turned the little
vehicle sharply in toward the curbing,
lowered the shafts and allowed Miss
Atherton to step over them onto the
sidewalk. 1T is really almost rude for
me to stop you in this unceremonious
way" she said, but I am SO anxious
to have you help me on a little matter
of translation. You know, after that
wonderful explanation you gave US of
the opium smoking on the steamboat,
I don't feel that any of my information
is really authentic unless 1T has your
endorsement-but what is that jin-riR-
sha coolie saying, and why does he look
so upset at me? I haven't done any
thing wrong to the poor man, have 1?
You know I feel Inundated enough to
make a draught horse out of my fell
bowman, without doing him any further
injury, that's the reason always pay
them double what they ask"
"Oh, nothing OF any serious conse-
quence," replied Wang Foo "he is SIM
ply grumbling to himself because you
stepped over the cross-bar Instead of
over the shafts. They have a little
idea-perhaps you would call it super
stition-that II the passenger does that,
they viii have bad luck for the rest of
the day, that is all"
as that feally so? Well, please ex-
plain to him for me that didn't know
anything about it and that wouldn't
