Are your nerves weak?
Can't you sleep well? Pain
in your back? Lack energy?
Appetite poor? Digestion
bad? Boils -or pimples?
These are sure signs of
poisoning.
From what poisons?
From poisons that are al
ways found in constipated
bowels.
If the contents of the
bowels are not removed from
the body each day, as nature
intended, these poisonous
substances are sure to be
absorbed into the blood, al
ways causing suffering and
frequently causing severe
disease.
There is a common sense
cure.
They dally insure an easy
and natural movement of
the bowels.
You will find thattheuseof

Sarsaparilla
with the pills will hasten
recovery. It cleanses the
blood from all impurities and
is a great tonic to the nerves.

Beautifully Situated, Pine Equip,
ment, and Doing Good Work
lor North Carolina. x
For the Patron and Gleaner.
We have lecentiy visited the
healthful and attractive town of
Littleton. N. C, the site, of the
Littleton Female College. The
College building is in the wes
tern part of the village and is
- O !
beautifully located in a large,
well shaded, sloping earn us.
The grounds are well adapted
for lawn tennis, croquet and such
other outdoor games and sports
as help to develop the physical
strength and beauty of the young
ladies.
The building is large, conven
ient and woll arranged; the 'long
.orth veranda and the east and
south porches (now in coutse of
construction) affording delightful
places for exorcise and recrea
tion both in summer and winter.
It is the aim of the president,
Rev. J. M. Rhodes, not only to
require thorough scholarship and
the best work possible in every
department, but Le and his' wife
are untiring in their efforts to
make a well ordered, pleasant
christiau home for their girls.
The faculty is carefully select
ed from year to year, there h y
ing been among them the last
year an A. B. graduate of the
Woman's College, Baltimore, a
full graduate of New Engiaud
Con. Boston, a full graduate of
Western Maryland College, and
graduates from some of tho best
female colleges of the South.
These teachers cooperate with
the president in his desire and ef
forts to do thorough work, and
they with him, are not satisti d
with less than trie very best that
each pupil can do. His object is
to mak.' true women of his girls
aud in selecting his. faculty each
year, he seeks those who will bt
most helpful to him in this work.

Monarch of all She Surveys
Whenever a girl baby is born
i into this wond there isaa addi
tion to the race of tyrants.
I As soon as the girl baby begins
to take notice, she is impressed
with the fact that her sphere in
life is to boss cr caj le somebody
or something. In her case, to
boss and to cajole a re interchange
able terms. They are simply dif
ferent approaches to the same ob
ect, to wit, to assert her divine
right to rule.
She begins upon mamma and
papa, asa sort o: training school
In course of time she tinds mam
ma of small account in her role of
slaves, put papa remains her
obedient servant as long as his
and her lives last, or until she
transfers her attention to her
husband. .
-fhe girl baby instinctively ef
fects a doll, not that she cares
for it, of course, but because it is
something tangible and conven
ient for her to practice upon. She
scolds it and whips it and when
she has sen tit to bed in disgrace
she thanks goodness (wherever
she learned the formula Heaven
only knows) that Dinah or Bertha
or whatever she has christened
the semblance of humanity, is
out of the way, and she cn now
nave a nine peace.
What a life the average doll's
would be were it a sentient
creature! Th proverbial dogr's
life were bliss in comparison to
it. It :s one of the most benefi-
cient vouchsafements of Provi
dence that the doll is not sensi
ble.of the treatment to which it
is subject at the hands of its in
exoiable mistress.
But the girl's despotism is not
conlined to the doll. In process
of time a puppy or a kitchen kit
teu, a vouuer sister or brother
iispeciaily the brother comes
iu for it? share of the domineer
ing In the absence of brother
or sister, she selects a boy or
girl of some other family a boy
preferred to tantalize and tor
ment.
And so it goes. As she grows
in years and her skirts lengthen
she becomes more and more des
potic, and counts her slaves, will
ing and unwilling by the score.
It is not until she has children
of her own that she becomes her
self the slave, only , to the child
ren, mind you. She never re
signs her crown and sceptre so
far as the rest of humanity is
concerned her husband, iionically
denominated "lord aad master,"
uot excepted.
And, yet it is sweet
to.be the
slave of the girl little or big. No
man, at least unless he be an
anomaly, would willingly break
his bond of servitude. He
couldn't if he would. He kissed
the rod, likewise his queen," and
even rejoices in his thraldom.

Our forefathers, who observed
signs by means of the goose bone,
the fur of animals, and the bark
of the trees, taught us that a
hard winter, with plenty of snows
aud numerous freezes, always
meant a fruitful year, and few
insects. -Well, the old theory is
dead, completely knocked out this
year in the first round. The past
winter was notable for its many
freezing days and in February
we had the greatest snow since
1657, and numerous other snows
during tba winter. Result, tot

How he Got His Start-
"I aui obliged to admit '
said a New Orleans physician who
has enjoyed a large practice, for
years, "that I got tny start in my
profession through a very shady
ruse; in fact, it was a piece of
downright rascality. Now don't
loc k shocked," he continued.smil
ing "and I'll tell you the story.
I hung out my shingle in a very
sleepy town up in Virginia, and
for about two years I hovered on
the ragged edge of starvation
My specialty was eye end ear and
I dare say that it contributed to
my lack of snccess; for in those
days all specialists were regard
ed with- more or less distrust.
Anyhow, I got barely enough
to do to keep me alive, and as oft
en happens, I was the victim of a
good deal of gratuious backbiting
on the part of other doctors One
old fellow in particular never
overlooked a chanceto say some
thing malicious, and the conse
quencewas that I became deeply
embittered. I felt that I deserved
better fortune, and this, by the
way, brings me" to the point
of my yarn.
One day, while cussing my luck
in my office, I was greatly sur
prised to receive a visit from a
wealthy old citizen who was one
of the staunchest patients of the
very doctor who 1 ad so antago
nized me. Tee old man was ex
tremely irascible, and as deaf as
a post, and for years he had car
ried around a loug flexible tub ,
which he used as a ear horn. As
soon as he entered he began tell
ing me his troubles ' Three days
before, he declared, he had sud
denly lost his last vistage of heal
ing, and the tube- became per
fectly helpless Dr. Blank had
worked with him in vain, and as
a last resort he came to me, "for,
praise God.' he said, 'you can'i
make it any worse-' While I was
examining his eais, he took the
tube out of his pocket, and I no
ticed by mere chance, that a cork
had been driven into the mouth
piece. It was the work of some
practical joker; and, like a flash,!
saw ray opportunity Saying
nothing I managed to extract the
cork without drawing his atten
tion, and then proceeded to drop
a little water in each ear. ' Now
suppose you try the tube,' 1
wrote on a tablet; and sighing in
credulously, he put it into posi
tion. 'How d'y feel?' I asked
through -the aperture. 1 wish
you could have teen his face! He
almost hugged me in his joy, and
declared that I was the greatest
healer on the face of the globe.

The Joy of Cares.
"Precious cares" was the
phrase we heard a mother apply
the other day to her three little
children. It is clear what she
meant. Tha care of a child, its
training and and education, oan-
. i r
one wno nas a proper .eusu ui
parental duty, is one of the most
taxing of human responsibilites
Except to a few wealthy persou.-
it means the sacrifice of leisure,
comfort and many opportunite.
and yat it is so rewardful thai
some of the chief joys of lifecomt
thuough this self sacrificing min
istration. The true parent gains
for more than he or she looses
The care, perplexing and exhaust
ing as it often is, opens a fresh
fountain of happiness in the
depths of the inner life. So i
always is; the path to the dopes'
and fullest satisfactions. You
can attain a cartain sort of hap
piness in isolation from common
human experiences, in shirking
responsibilities, and in choice of
the easiest way, but the loss out
bahuces the gain. When you
shut out of your life & hel pf ulness
to others, a responsibility of a
burden that you might justly as-
assume, you are not only closing
the door to card, bat to joy. The

sponsible position. Then breth

love for our fellow man." Having
felt the force of these truths be
ford they were framed in wordi,
we have ever had a high respect
for un association of editors. We
joined the North Carolina Preet
Association as soon as wo mounted
the tripod. We felt that we could
be professionally benefitted ami
that weconld morally and in oth
er ways help to benefit others.
JNot until last week was it out
privilege to attend an annual meet
iLg of the Association. We went,
looked, considered, studied, and
came to the conclusion that we had
in nowise magnified the importance
of the body. The Association ih
made np, in the main, of an able
body of men. 'Id.ey know how to
grapple with the great question
of the day and to publicly expresh
their vievs wjth the force of one
who is more used to the platform.
We heard several debates that
were not only entertaining but
highly instructive. The general
desire to avoid wounding the feel
ings of those of other vie ws was
apparent. Several measures of im
portance were considered md ma
terialized.
The next meeting will be held
