And some won't turn for anything, and get there just the same, ' Hut there's a common turning point, a fate, unkind but just, here rich and poor, and great and small, turn one and all to dust. Training Exercise. There is scarcely a schoolboy who does not recognize the value of train ing and practice in fitting one to excel in sports. Every boy knows that although there are special apti tudes, this comrade being fitted to excel in running, this in ballplaying and another in feats requiring strength of arm or endurance, dis tinction cannot be won by the most talented without a great deal of practice and special training requir ing much sacrifice on the part of the aspirant for honors. Moreover, all boys go to the circus when they get a chance, and there they see the most wonderful feats performed by acrobats and gymnasts and jugglers and balancers. They know that the great skill developed by the per formers depends primarily upon years of patient practice; that each act, though it may last only a few minutes, represents a lifetime of daily study. They see that the eye can be trained to remarkable quickness and accura cy, muscles developed that usually lie dormant and control obtained over bodily movements that is accu rate to the fraction of an inch. See ing and knowing these things, they ought to gather the lesson therefrom that practice and training are re quired to develop other and more important kinds of skill than are exhibited in sports or in the circus ring. They think it a hardship if they are required to devote an hour or two a day to study for a few years to (it thern for a profession, yet they know that equal skill upon the part of a juggler or acrobat requires for its attainment many hours of daily practice continued for a dozen or a score of years. If the pitcher for a baseball team should give a tithe of the attention to developing skill in the handling of i 1 1 tools that he devotes to learning how j to make inshoots, what a fine me-j c'lanic he would become! Imagine! au artist who should, day after day j for years, practice with the perti-1 years nacity of a juggler in order to ob tain perfect control of his pencil, what a marvelous draughtsman he would become, even though he should lack artistic sense or feeling ! And yet there is abundant reason why the schoolboy should be at least as earnest as the tumbler whose ambi tion in life is to be the clown in a circus. No sooner has one's life work been mapped out than preparation should be made to meet its requirements. The youth should go into training as he would for a day of field sports; he should practice with the assiduity of an athlete trying to develop special command of his muscles. Mechan ical or artistic work, commercial life, or the professions whatever is to be undertaken will require skill of a special kind in addition to natural talent if one is to distinguish himself above his fellows in the chosen call ing. And that skill car. be obtained only by incessant practice and train ing such as develops the record making sportsman or the acrobat who is deemed fit to present before the public in a circus performance. This should be the thought of the young man who is at school and for whom, perhaps, parents or other relatives are making great sacrifices. The purpose of sending him to school is not to get him through somehow and provide him with a certificate or a diploma; the purpose is to have him trained so that mind and muscle shall be obedient to his will and re spond promptly to t lie demands made upon them. And he should take the utmost advantage of his opportuni ties that he may become as highly skilled in some useful and honored calling as is the man who wins the plaudits of the multitude by some ex hibition of skill that has no higher object than that of amusing the idle and the curious. Would Not Suffer So Aaln lor Fllty Tiuien lt Trice. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. 1 never felt so bail in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & Mc C'urd s drug store and they recommend ed Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like niao-ic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble. 1 shall not be w ithout it in mv home hereafter, for I should not care to endure the suffer ings of last night again for fifty times its" price.

AKl HAS SWORN' OFF. There is No Use in Trying to Enlighten the Northern People. I've sworn off again. These Bos ton people make me so tired. It seems impossible to make a lasting impression upon them. From time to time we have sent our best men there. We sent General Gordon and Colquitt and Henry Grady and they were well received, and we thought our Georgia missionaries had con verted them, but in a little they had a relapse. Governor Northern thinks he has converted all but the editors, but my observation is that editors control the animus of the people, and if they are against us their readers will be. I notice that some of their editor are easy on our governor, but none of them have apologized. They have got to repent and apologize be fore we will be satisfied with their conversion. This thing of going up to the altar and shaking hands is played out. They liked to have shook Henry Grady's arm off, but in a few months they took it all back and went to abusing us again about the negro. It is very discouraging to a missionary to have to keep on con verting the same heathen. I notice that one of their papers lets us down sorter easy on Sam Hose, but wants to know about the lynching of Lige Strickland. That's all right. Give us something hard. Lige was a preacher in Meriwether county, and his father-in-law, Aaron Watson, says he was the meanest nigger in the county, that he beat his wife up scandalously and cut and gashed her with a butcher-knife and the members of his own church took him out one night and gave him a hundred lashes, and told him to leave the country. Then he settled down in Coweta county and turned politi cian and made himself generally a disturber of public peace and good order, and finally capped the climax by denouncing the white people and defending Sam Hose. The general opinion is that L'ge got off pretty well, for they dident burn him. The Boston Transcript says we are "a generation behind the times, in i fact several New England genera tions behind it." How is that? Why it hasent been 200 years since New England was burning innocent, harmless women for being witches. j It hasent been fifty years since Bos ton merchants were shipping rum to Africa to buy negroes to sell again to slave countries. Long after Mas sachusetts set her slaves free her merchants carried on the slave trade. Joseph Story, the great jurist, , , " ' , . " . , . ' f'hnriwr tho rrnrwl mrv in IJnstnn " . . J t-ii and said : "The slave trade is still carried on among us with implicable ferocity. Avarice has grown more subtle in its evasions of the law. Its appetite is quickened rather than suspended. Our citizens are steeped ud to their very mouths in this in iquity." W. W. Stor his gifted son, saj'S : "The Boston newspapers denounced my father, and said that a judge who who would deliver such a charge ought to be hurled from the bench, and he says further, that "the for tunes of many men of prominence were invested in this infamous busi ness. When slavery disappeared in Xew England the African slave trade took on new life, and was winked at. A man might have position in society and be considered a gentleman and a Christian, while his ships were freighted with a human cargo and his commerce was in the blood and pain of his fellow creatures. Many of the largest fortunes in Boston were the blood money of the slave trade and came from the sale of the wretched cargoes of negroes that survived the horrors of their trans portation across the seas." Yes, we are behind that sort of business several generations. But I've sworn off. The history of Massachusetts fatigues my indig nation. Here are our negroes who would be happy and contented if the northern press would quit stirring up discontent and telling them lies. If old Mother Julia Ward Howe, who is now in lier eignty-nrsi, year anu ought to have an old woman's sense, was to drop down here in Carters ville, she would see some young bucks wrestling on the depot plat form while waiting for freight, and she would hear the merry laugh of a score of negro draymen who stood around. She would hear the sound of the colored school bell. She would pass and repass negro women with a basket of clothes on their heads and a smile on their faces. She would see negro girls, clad in clean garments, nursing white children and watching them with tender care. If there was a funeral on hand she would see a happy gathering of wo men and girls, daughters of Zion, following the hearse, and if there was a railroad excursion on hand the depot would be crowded with both sexes and all sorts and sizes. Then we would escort her carefully to the baseball ground aud let her see the young bucks play and hear them shout and give the negro yell for victory. But she is too old to be cured. I remember when she pub lished an abolition paper in 1847 Bat, pshaw, it wouldent do any good, so I swear off. Somebody said that if a woman was a fool at forty she would be a fool until she died. And somebody else said convince a woman against her will and she will be of the same opinion still. And the parable says, "If they will not believe Moses and the prophets, neither would they believe tho' one should rise from the dead." And so I will swear off for good and let those Boston pharisees die in their own conceit. The Massachu setts State Board of Charities saj's in their annual report, "And now we find that there is hardly a coun try in the civilized world where atrocious and flagrant crime is so common as in Massachusetts." Well, that settles it. Georgia has but two white women in her prisons, while Massachusetts has 134. In 1890, Georgia had 214 white convicts while Massachusetts had 4,412, and Mr. Stetson says that in one year there were 05,000 arrests in the State, aud that divorces increase there twice as fast as population, and not more than eight families in ten have pre served the purity and honor of the marriage relation." How is that for living in glass houses? Yes, I reckon that we are behind them several generations. I hope so. But I've sworn off until they repent and apologize. Bill Am. The Horrowing Nuisance. Many good housewives suffer ter ribly from a borrowing neighbor the sort of person whom we have all met who, rather than employ their ample means for providing necessa ries for domestic use, are continually troubling their more sensible neigh bors for the loan of "a couple of eggs, a cake of soap a lish ket tle, fiat iron or preserving pan." Habitual borrowers are very liable to forget to return such articles, and the lender feels naturally diffident about asking for them. Go without any article you want rather than borrow it, or if it is an absolute necessity, make up your mind to buy one at once. You will then have it always at hand and will feel under no obligation to your neighbor; neither will you have the responsi bility as to its safety while in your possession. If dire necessity, such as sudden illness, renders borrowing indisjen sable, see that the article that is lent is punctually returned, in ex quisitely clean and good condi tion; should it take the form of a comestible, see that the quality is as good and the quantity the same or rather in excess. Unless you hear to the contrary, even so slight a loan as a newspaper should be returned as soon as read, for you can never tell whether your friend ma' wish to file it, or send it on to some one else. When books are borrowed they should be at once covered, and never defaced b- the turning down of a page, so common a trick of most readers. The gist of the whole mat ter is this never lend or borrow. Marriage a Serious Vocation. "A woman who is blessed with good sense does not consider at "the start that marriage is a role to be skillfully and successfully enacted, or a grand frolic of which she is to be t he admired and indulged center, or a mere incident in a life crowded with other activities, " writes Helen Watterson Moody in The Ladies' Home Journal. "She knows that marriage is a serious and steady vo cation and that the true wife is one who enters marriage not thinking how much she can get out of it, but how much she can put into it. It is this larger conception of marriage which makes women dwell by their own firesides in sweet content within what is commonly called the nar row limits of home,' knowing well that no true home is narrow since it must give cover to 'the whole primal mysteries of life food, raiment and work to earn them withal; love and marriage, birth and death, right doing and wrongdoing all these commonplaces of humanity which are most divine because they are most commonplace.' "The way to make home a wide place to dwell in is to bring a wide personality to dwell in it. Any home is just as wide as the maker, and can be no wider. When a woman understands this she is able to keep her head steady and her heart undis turbed over newspaper sketches about other women, in which each one of them is made to do the most remarkable and unnecessary things." He who remains tranquilly on the ground and watches, often gets better apples than the man who climbs up and shakes them all from the tree. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at first it was a slight strain and would soon he well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Cham berlain's Pain Halm. I tried it and one half of a 50-eent bottle cured me entire ly. I now recommend it to all my friends. F. A. Habcock, Erie. Pa. It is for sale by M. E. Robinson & Hro., J. H.

W.vsmxr.Tox, June 0, ISO'.L More men, more blood, and more money for the Philippines. That is the cheerful outlook. Mr. McKinley has become convinced that Aguinaldo successfully plaj'ed the role of brier fox in his dealings with the blue- coated and red-troursed American civilian Commissioners, by staving off active military operations against him until the rain- season, while he was preparing for another campaign in the fall. He has also become con vinced that any further delay of the volunteers in the Philippines who wish to come home will be dangerous. Convinced of these two things there was nothing left for him to do except to decide to issue a call for volunteers to go to the Philippines, under au thority of the army act of the last Congress. He has made that decision, but, in keeping with his usual custom of giving the public an excuse for his every important act, will defer issu ing the call for volunteers until he gets a cablegram from Gen. Otis say ing that more men are imperatively needed over there. It has been found impossible to get any considerable number of the volunteers now in the Philippines to re-enlist, although each man who does so is given travel pay amounting to about $000. the Spanish nag is for the first time in more than a vear flying in Washington. It flies over the hotel in which the Duke de Arcos, the new Spanish Minister, and his American wife, are guests. The new Minister called on Secretary Hay and pre sented his credentials and later was presented by Mr. Hay to Mr. McKin ley, and diplomatic relations are again established with Spain. The Minister has many personal friends in Washington, which was the home of his wife when he first met her and for many years afterwards. Although the negotiations have not been formally broken off there is practically a deadlock over the Alas kan boundary. Months ago it was charged that Great Britain did not wish this dispute settled, and it be gins to look as though those who made the charge knew what the' were talk ing about, although it is apparently Canada that has brought about the deadlock in the negotiations. Since getting the consent of Boss Hanna, the Heuderson-Sherman Speakership combine have been rushing things so rapidly that they have already apparently got all the other candidates distanced. In the rush the Henderson wing of the com bine has taken the lead to such an extent that they are claiming that Henderson is as good as elected, and j there appears to be good ground for! the claim, but appearances in this 1 sort of a light are often deceptive. It seems certain, however, that the combine will win, and that either Henderson or Sherman will be Speaker. Republican assistance is being secretely given to the schemers who are working to prevent the renomi nation of Col. William J. Bryan and the re-adoption of the principles of the Chicago platform by the next Democratic Xational Convention by securing more than one-third of the delegates to that convention. The scheme is to get men elected dele gates who can be controlled bT the schemers, if they are not instructed. The practical result of this scheme is likely to be that many delegates will be instructed, who under ordi nary circumstances would not be. The rank and file of the democracy know what they want and also how to get it. The administration is much wor ried by the failure of the Cuban soldiers to surrender their arms and accept the $75 per capita sent over there for them. They had supposed that the poor, ragged devils would jump at the chance of getting $7.) apiece, more money than probably three-fourths of them ever owned at one time in their lives. They don't know what to make of the refusal, but they fear that it means trouble of some sort, and their fears are likely to be true. National Affairs. A sixteen-inch gun, the largest piece of ordnance ever constructed j in this country, is being made for; the defenses of Xew York city. President McKinley issued an or der amending the civil service rules and removing about four thousand offices from civil service protection. The War Department will have a competitive test of foreign carriages for field guns and carriages made in. the United States from American designs. The Administration has decided j not to issue a call for volunteers. The reinforcements needed by Gen i eral Otis will be drawn from the j regular army.
