Sayincs of Johnson.
The chains of habit are general
ly too email to be felt till they are
too strong to be broken.
The majority have no other rea
son for their opinions than that
they are the fashion.
No man knows any one except
himself whom he judges fit to be
set free from the coercion of laws
and to be. abandoned entirely to
his own choice. By this consider
ation have all civilized nations
been induced to the- enaction of
penal laws ; laws by which every
man's danger becomes every man's
safty, and by which though all are
restrained, yet all are benefited.
. Wit, like every other power, has
its boundaries. Its success de
pends on the aptitude of others to
receive impressions, and that as
some bodies, indissoluble by heat,
can set the furnace and crudible
at defiance, there are minds, upon
which the rays of fancy may be
pointed without effect, and which
no fire of sentiment can agitate or
exalt.
Pound St. Paul's church into
atoms and consider any single atom
it is good for nothing; but put all
tthese atoms together and you have
St. Paul's, church. Soit is with
human felicity, which is made up
of many ingredients, each of which
may be very insignificant.
To Bet the mind above the appe
tites is the end', of abstinence,
which one of the fathers observes
to be, not a virtue, but the ground
work of a virtue. By forbearing
to do what may innocently be done
we may add hourly new vigor in
resolution and secure the power of
resistance, when pleasure or inter
est shall lend their charms to guilt.
A Good Story.
Col. CharleB Edwards, the breezy
representative of the unfettered
West in Washington's newspaper
correspondent circles, is responsi
ble for many of the best stories
that jjo over the country from the
capital., One. that he tells, some
what at his own expense, is now
being repeated about town.
"We have down in our country,"
says the colonel, what we call
roasting ears. I don't know what
you fellows call them, but they are
the finest things provided for the
hungry human.. I would rather
eat roasting ears than to look at
fire-works, and one day down "in
Texas when I went to dinner at the
hotel they had some of the finest I
ever saw. I took one, then another,
and finally absorbed four. Whenl
reached for the fifth one I noticed
the fellow next to me watching me
pretty closely,. and I said to him:
My friend, you seem surprised.
I want to tell you that Jl think
roasting ears are the finest things
in creation and I would live on
them for a month.' That fellow
just watched me bite into" that
fifth ear of corn, and then he
drawledout: Say, pard., don't
you think you could save about a
dollar and a quarter a day if you
was, to board at a livery stable?'
Washington Post.
Onr Moral Gain.
If we estimate the gain of pres
tige in the eyes of the world
achieved for us by Dewey at Ma
nila and Schley at Santiago, and
place side by side with it the loss
of moral influence consequent upon
our abandonment of former ideals
for territorial aggrandizement,
which of the two will be found to
be the greater? We were stronger
than Spain and our'navy was fair
ly efficient that the world is now
bound to admit. But have we in
creased our refutation for justice,
t'lnnMCi-hnesB and respect for the
rigucs of man? We formerly con
demned ''land grabbing" J as illus
trated by the territorial acquisi
tions of England, Russia, or
France. We sympathize with the
efforts of every people to obtain
home rule. We called upon China
and Japan to trust us' as the only
disinterested nation. Humanity,
generosity and love of peace were
our characteristic traits. Respect
for law and constitution was our
boast. But the nations begin, we
fear, to suspect our professions
and lament our moral decadence.
It is indeed disheartening to find
unctuous rectitude ending thus in
what looks like ordinary cupidity.

GIFTS FOR CHILDREN.
6ant
Clans Fnrnlhe the Christmas
Tre, bat Not the PrcMnta. l
Ella Morris Kretschmar writes enter
tainingly of "The Christmas Tree" in
The Woman's Home Companion; undJn
the course of her article says: I
"Do not make the mistake of bunging
gifts on the tree. The tree is from Santa
Clans, the gifts from family and friends
a distinction which should be made
clear to each little mind. And label
each gift before placing it under the
tree the proper place for all Christmas
gifts. Santa Clans is sure to be given
credit for anything anonymous. The
writer once received a shock not easily
forgotten. After much shopping, sup
plemented by work at home, a beautiful
tree, with numerous gifts beneath, glad
dened the eyes and heart of her one and
only on Christmas morning. Everything
was duly enjoyed throughout the day,
but in the twilight two little arms were
slipped about mother's neck, and a soft
voice asked: 'Mother, why is it that
everybody gives me pretty things on
Christmas but you and father Aunt
Mary, Undo Edwin, Eloise, Mamie, all
the rest of the family and even my
friends all but just you? I would rather
have something from you than from any
one, even Santa Claus.' j
"Think of it i After so much effort,
and no explanations possible 1 Santa
Clans still gets credit for the tree,! but
mother's and father's gifts are plainly
marked. ' !j
There are some parents whose ! con
sciences are so painfully constructed
that to them the Santa Claus fiction
seems a wicked falsehood not to be en
couraged. We pity them and lament
their honesty.' If consistent, theyjmust
frown upon all that man's imagination
has done to adorn life, to embellish the
world. As for Santa Claus, may he not
be regarded by the Christian as typical
of the giver of good gifts, and to the
honest nineteenth century pagan j does
his coming not commemorate the , birth
of the acknowledged highest type of
earthly man? Santa Claus needs no
apologist. .
"Do not regard the Christmas tree a
'bother, even if fatigue and sacrifice
are its prica Remem ber how rich1 you
are in having some one in your heart
and home who is expecting Santa Claus,
and remember the splendid privilege of
conferring so much happiness. ",
, The Nobel Prize For Peace.
The report that the Nobel prize of
60,000 or thereabouts to the person
who has done most to promote peace is
to be awarded this year to Vereschagin,
the painter, tends to make thoughtful
persons wonder once more whether the
great Nobel prizes will ever do any par
ticular good. The basis of the award to
Vereschagin is that his pictures are
bloody and unpleasant and put the ob
server out of conceit with battles. I j Ve
reschagin, when last heard from was
sketching the turbulent scenes in the 1
Austrian parliament, with a view to
getting increased "ginger" into his
next war scenes. If his paintings are
really such promoters of peace, it would
pay the chamber of commerce of INew
York to import,' at its own cost, a com
plete set of them, to be presented to the
people of the United States and hung
as conspicuously as possible in the halls
of government at Washington. That
might be as effectual a. safeguard for
Gotham as more defenses and defenders
at Sandy Hook. -Harper's Weekly

The Bloat Healthful Regloni.
Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace says in
the London Chronicle that tropical re
gions, as a whole, are more conducive
to health than the temperate regions.
He attributes his own long continued
good health (and he is now 75) to 12
years' residence in the tropics when he
was a young man and threatened With
lung disease. The pure, warm air re
stored him to a permanently sound con
dition. He says European soldiers in
India have better health than the! sed
entary native classes. British soldiers
in the Sudan stand up to the work;
thousands of Australian gold miners
endure intense heat and Hollanders
have flourished for generations in the
Dutch colonies. - j.
He believes the region on each side
of the equator for a thousand miles to
be "the most healthy and the most en
joyable abode for man, where, with the
least labor, he can obtain the greatest
amount of necessaries, the comforts and
the luxuries of life, and can at the same
time develop and cultivate his higher
nature " But work, he adds, is neces
sary to health there as elsewhere.
Paris Bus Warmers.
In an ordinary Parisian bus, accom
modating more than 20 people inside
there is a solid thick plank, but flush
with the floor running the length of the
bus. This plank is about a foot wide,
and in it are cut five cavities about two
feet long by six inches wide. In these
the chaufferettes (or foot warmers) of
about the same dimensions are placed,
so that they, too, are flush with; the
floor and just in nice position to rest
the feet
These chaufferettes are not hot water
bottles, for that system required! fre
quent changes and did not give much
warmth They are really little stoves,
in which the miniature fireplace is be
neath and opening into the air below
the floor of thebus. The firing is formed
of a "briquette" literally a little brick
of about the dimensions of an ordinary
sheet of- note paper by an inch and a
half deep made of coal, anthracite and
other combustible materials a good deal
compressed. A briquette costs 1 penny
and lasts about half a bus day

In-
dia will last five years. His salary is
nuuuj $iuu,uuu a year, with all; ex
penses paid by the governmeent and he

Indicted for Refusal to Use Lee's
History.
Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 30. A
peculiar case has arisen from the
adoption of the state school book
law, for the use of text books in the

been found-in, the Circuit court
again6t Prof. Grant Hayes, one of
the public school teachers of Knox
county, for refusal to use Lee's
history in his school, and who has
been using Barnes'. His reason is
that he considered Lee's book inac

THE FIRST BABY.
Its Coming is Looked Forward -to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by AIL
The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most im
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become a mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother.
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyf uiness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend child-birth; they know that by
the use of "Mother's Friend" a scien
tific liniment for a few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely-passed through with com
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such a remedy ; for they Know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth
er's Friend' is Woman's greatest bles
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
"Before Baby is Born," which contains
information of great value to ail. It
will be sent free to any one who sends
their address to The Bradfield Regu
lator Co., Atlanta, G a.
