To insure success of the movement in the South to encourage white girls to take household service certain funda mental truths must be brought to the front and kept there. One is that wages honestly earned are just as dignified ss salaries, and that the president of a rail road company is in essence no less a servant of the stockholders than the switch-tender or the engineer on the road or the two or three do!lar-a-week cook in one's home. Another is that subordination in service does not nec essarily imply personal inferiority. It is especially hard for the South to draw the distinction between those two termB. A. third is that no person in the world can possibly be independent of others, and that, therefore, -consideration for the rights and feelings of others, that fine quality which enables one to put himself or herself in imagination in another's place, will do more to solve social problems than all the agitation and the organization that may possibly be devised, and that, too, without in volving any recognition of impossible theory of racial or social equality. Dis heartened women of Richmond and other Southern communities may do much to lead in simplifying the domes tic problem if they will only adapt in common sense and courage these fun damental principles to the administra tions of their homes. A mother Case of Catalepsy. London Telegraph. An extraordinary experience has be fallen William Haylett, an aged resi dent of Downham Market, near King's Lynn. For some time he had been very ill and at last apparently died. Those in attendance upon bira satisfied themselves that the old man bad come to the end of his days, having failed to detect any beating of his heart, and furthermore there was no indication of breath remaining in the body when they held a looking-glass over his mouth. Accordingly, the supposed de ceased man was laid out and prepara tions were made for his interment. When, however, the old man's son entered the room to take a last look at his father he was astonished to notice that the eyes slowly opened, while at the same moment there was a slight movement of the hands. Others of the household were immediately sum moned, and, while they were anxiously waiting to see whether there were really any signs of life in the body, Haylett recovered consciousness and quietly asked those around him whether they thought he was dead. The ex penence was a somewhat unnerving one for them and it was some time be fore they recovered from the shock. Haylett is still in an extreme state of prostration, but the doctors who was brought to his aid entertains hopes that he will eventually recover. Backhanded Politeness. Ethel, breathlessly Oh, Jack, dear, what did papa say when yo asked for my hand 7 Jack He said that I had annoyed him so long by being around the house so much that I'd grown to be a sort of necessary evil and he'd miss me if I stayed away. So he invited me to Join the family circle. Attacked: by a Mob and beaten, in a labor riot, until covered with sores, a Chicago street car conduc tor applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and was soon sound and well.

Raleigh, March 2. if the Senate a message from the Governor residing the South Dakota judgment of Schaffer bonds was read and the bond committee reported. A bill was introduced to pro vide for a dispensary at Whiteville, and a resolution inviting the National Eli- torial Association to meet next year in North Carolina. Bills passed to pre vent the running at large of dangerous or vicious dogs; tb prevent the manu facture of whiskey in Rutherford; to establish a dispensary at Roxboro; to prohibit the manufacture and sale of whiskey in Union, and to all the people to vote on dispensary or prohibition; to amend the anti-jug law by making it apply only to Mitchell, Cleveland, Ca barrus, Gaston, Perquimans and Ashe, this being the law enacted two years ago; to refund commissions of sheriff of Rowan on taxes ; to authorize county boards of education to fix the time for holding schools; to regulate the appor tionment of school funds of Mecklen burg; to provide for the establishment of publio school libraries in rural dis tricts; to authorize the State board of education to publish certain .text-books relating to history and literature of North Carolina. In the House a message was received from Governor Glenn, detailing the terms of the bond settlement agree ment and urging its adoption, the mes sage beine similar to the report by the committee to the House last night. The bill authorizing payment of the $215,000 in aettlemant-of ihe Schaffer bonds came up on second reading. Mr. Powers, of Rutherford, said that twenty-five years ago he and Mr. Gra ham, of Lincoln, were members of the Legislatures which issued bonds in set tlement of the State debt for $40,000, 000; that the bonds now being settled were about the only ones which were not sent in under the terms of the set tlement, and that the holders, now virtually accepting the terms offered by the debt settlement of 1879, was credit able to the honor as well as the sagacity of that settlement. Mr. Graham, of Lincoln, added that the settlement of 1879 was made by a legislative com mittee and bondholders in conference, just like the present settlement. Mr. Graham congratulated the committee for having effected a settlement with out a departure from the Democratic platform. Upon the roll . call, 101 members voted aye, Patterson, Repub lican, from Swain, voting no. Butler, of Sampson, was excused from voting upon the statement that he had no interest, direct or remote in the matter, except that of Any other citizen and tax-payer and representative. The bill provides that the bond issue is not to exceed $250,000. Detectlvea Sing and Dance and Drink and Arrest. New York World. Disguised aa shivering motormen and sailors, detectives in the employ of the Anti-Saloon League of the State of New York, arrested a dozen liquor deal ers of Mount Vernon early yesterday morning, and a majority of them spent the early morning hours in cells. The supposed motormen and sailors would enter a place, begin singing and then one of them would call out: "Let's have a dance, Jack," In moat cues the saloon-keepers ob iccted to the dancing. Then a round of drinks would be ordered. "It's after hours," said one hotel keeper. "It isn't too late to seive a white man with a drink when he's half dead from the cold," was the reply." The same story of suffering from cold was told in every case. After the drinks had been served, Dodge, form erly one of District-Attorney Jerome's men, arrested the proprietors and the man who served the liquor. It is said that th Epworth League of Mount Vernon is behind the crusade and that John S. Huyler, who has friends interested in church work in Mount VernrJo, ia supplying the money. District Attorney Young will prosecute the cases. No Canary Seeyvanted. Warsgton Post. Delegate McGuire, of Oklahoma, has on his desk a uni$3e request for seed It comes from a resident of the Terri tory, who writes in this wise: "My wife wants packages of flower seeds and packages of garden seeds. Please send tbe same to her. 1 Don't send any canary seed. That might make her want to sing, and the Lord knowa I have trouble enough with, her now on that score." A Safe Coach Medicine for Children.

It is especially valuable for colds, croup and whooping cough. For sale by M, L. Marsh and D. D, Johnson, j PUBUSHED TWICE Concord, N. C March UTILIZING WASTE. Atlanta Journal. One of the greatest secrets of business success lies in avoiding waste. In this tingle fact lies the principal reason for the great success of the Armours, the Swifts, Standard Oil Co., the American Sugar Refining Cj., and practically every other large and successful in dustry. Take the meat packing industry as an example. Nothing is allowed to go to waste. The buttons that you wear on your coat are made out of the blood of the cattle, hogs and sheep. The hoofs of cattle are manufactured into combs and brushes. Glue, vaseline and dozens of other by-products are manufactured out of the entrials and other portions of the animals that at one time were al lowed to go to waste. These by-products furnish one of the principal scources of revenue to the beet racking com panics. Another illustration is furnished by the Standard Oil Co. When this com pany was first organized the volume of waste in the refining of oil was enor mous. The refined oil was the only product. Everything else went to waste. Tbe Standard began taking this waste and manufacturing it into by-products, and today it has no less than 22 by products, nearly of which are important commercial factors, and the revenue from which runs up into many millons a year. The railroad industry furnishes an other striking; illustration. The effort to economize in small items of expendi tures and save waste is the main object in most of the enormous investment that the railroads have made during the U-l few years. The number of train miles run in 1900 was 856,090,082 It is clear that a saving on each of these train miles, although but fraction of a cent, aggregate an enormous sum when applied to the total number of train miles. For instance, suppose that the railroads of the country, through some man's directing genius, are able to save the small sum of only 2 cents a train mile. This would be equivalent on the 856.090,082 train miles to a total of over 117,000,000. It iB easy to under stand how the right man, who can bring about such a saving, can demand a salary of more than $100,000 a year, California Village Has New Way of Barring Germs. The quarantine regulations in Modoc county, Cal., are as unique as they are disagreeable. In their efforts to stop the spread of diphtheria the Board of Supervisors issued an order that all per sons entering and leaving Adin, Modoc county, be taken to the "smoking sta tion" and thoroughly smoked with sulphur. The supervisors ordered a big gate placed across the county road leading from Lookout Beiber. At this gate a guard is stationed who stops all travel ers. If the traveler wants to proceed on to Beiber, he must send into Beiber, a distance of four miles, and have a doctor ' come back to the gate and "smoke him," for which he pays just $6 iriodel of Resolutions. "I heard of a great many excellent resolutions that were made on January 1," said District Attorney Jerome, of New York, "and the majority of them, I am afraid, have been broken, but, to my way of thinking, tnere were none in the whole lot so good as a resolution adopted by a young German apothe cary on the East Side. When asked what he had sworn off, he said: " 'I have resolved me never tp speak of a man's virtues to his face nor of his faults behind his back.' "I am told that once at a dinner party this same young fellow, who is very diffident, was twitted on not en tering more into the conversation, when he answered: " 'What is reasonable I do not know, and what I know is not reasonable.' " Another Loss. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Secretary Wilson officially states that there is no such a thing as a "cabbage snake." If this sort of thing keeps on we will be robbed of all our early-day mon strosities. It wasn t long ago that they took our hoop snake from us, and then they reached out and crushed our glass snake. And pretty soon they may be expected to tell us the measuring worm doesn't take the exact dimensions of the back yard, and that the devil's darning needle never sews up naughty boys' ear-. It's too bad. For an Impaired Appetite. Loss of appetite always results from faulty digestion. All that is needed is a few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. They will invigorate the stomach, strengthen the digestion and give yon an appetite like a wolf. These Tablets also act as a gentle laxa tive. For sale by M. L. Marsh and D. D. Johnson. .A. WEEK. 7, 18Q5. WHY GIRLS LACK LOVERS. New York American. There are lots of girls who can not get lovers; but why? They are nice enough girls. And all their friends like them; good-looking too, perhaps, yet lovers they cannot get. For all that they desire lovers every girl does and marvel why they ahoulck.be left out in the cold. The probability is that they have themselves to blame; they may not go the right way about it. It takes a deal of science to really at tract a man in these times. On the other hand, their tongues may be-re-sponsible; again, their style of dressing may xeep ine young men away. , re garding this latter-the dressing you may wonder how that can keep a man from classing a certain girl as a sweet heart. Well I will try to explain. Some girls, no matter what their position be, spend practically every penny they get or earn on dress; they appear in a new "rig-out" far too frequently. A new fashion in f ura sets in they must have a muff and necklet of that fur, even though it be imitation. Well, young men are after all a dis cerning set. Girls usually don't give them the credit they really deserve for observation. Now, suppose a youth is earning a certain salary perhaps enough to keep himself and a wife in comparative com fort, yet not sufficient to permit of any extravagance. What is he apt to con dude if he observes the girl he would like to make his wife evrlastingly appearing in new clothes? If he is sensible he will readily decide that she is not for him. Ilia salary could not stand a constant supplying of new dresses, and very likely he comes to another conclusion that the girl, did she marry him, would be discon tended with her lot if he did not keep her in the style to which Bhe had been accustomed. Perhaps not one girl in twenty has ever dreamed that the too frequent new gowns she is proud of are actually destroying her chance of getting husband, and she should know for a fact that it is so, has been bo and will be so. mark. Twain and the Rector. Mark Twain aa a humorist is no re specter of persons, and a story is told of him and Bishop Dane which is worth repeatiug. It occurred when Mark Twain was living in Hartford, where Dr. Dane was then a rector of an Epis copal church. Twain had listened to one of the good Doctor's best sermons one Sunday morning, when he ap proached him and said politely: "I have enjoyed your sermon this morn ing. 1 welcomed it as X would wel come an old friend. I have a book in my library that contains every word of it." "Impossible, sir," replied the rector, indignantly. "Not at all. I assure you it is true," said Twain. "Then I shall trouble you to send me that book," rejoined the rector with dignity. The next morning Dr. Dane received, with Mark Twain'a compliments, a dic tionary. Clot Oil Cheap.

Does the maapBrsue Jhe woman or the woman pursue the man ? That is aquestion which Bernard Shaw, the writer, has brought into in teresting discussion. Shaw says that the idea that man is the conquering wooer is one of the absurd ideas that have come down to us from the centuries. Men believe it ministers to their van ity. They think themselves irresistible. Women permit them to believe it be cause it helps them to carry on the pretty game. Shaw says when a woman makes up her mind to marry a certain man that man' sdoom ia sealed. Permitted to think he ia the pusruer, he is being pursued so insidiously that he does not realize the fact until he is in the toils. And in most cases he never finds out the fact. While woman is dragging her captive at her chariot wheels the the captive thinks of himself as con queror. He is snared in bis own con ceit. Rafford Pyke in an article in a recent magazine agrees with Shaw and says the poets and novelists are all wrong in picturing man as the successful pursuer. Men and brethren, are these things true ? Is it true that woman spreads her net so cunningly that we never know we are trapped? Are we inveigled, charmed, captured and domesticated under the impression that we, Lords of Creation, have done this thing ? You that know, please tell us. It would be more to the point, how ever, if some bright woman, expe rienced in Cupid's way, would tell us tbe truth. It is noted that the cham pions of this new sex philrs ijihy, thus far, are men. Tell us the secret, O woman. A Prophet Without Honor. "John, you'd better take your um brella," said the editor's wife. "Tisn't going to rain, mother," re plied the editor's son. "Your fither says it looks like it." "Yes, mother, but you must remem ber that father said right up into No vember that everything indicated that the country was very close politically.'
