The Law Against Cruelty to Animals Should be More Rigidly Enforced. Need of it in Henderson as Well as Elsewhere. Scotland Neck Democrat. It is positively appallinjr to witness the brutality of some men upon mules ant horses. At tbi day of twentieth century, civilization it is a crviner Ishume that so manv people are so auil nnd stupid as not to tjave been ) impressed with their own mercilesslv evil treatment of dumb animals. It is not uncommon to see a horse or a mule straining' under a heavy load bearing bold evidence of having been belabored with whips and sticks be yond all reason. Only a few days ago we saw a team tugging at a wagon which was heavily loaded, the wheels were mired into the soft earth and the driver whacking one of the horses with a club. The strokes attracted attention quite a distance, but the cruel driver seemed to think it noth ing wrong to beat and abuse the horses so. Sometime ago one who was.trying to train ayoung horse to the saddle carried a hard and heavy stick as a whip. The horse already showed signs of the use of the stick in the whelps along his side. It is time for all men to learn that kind ness is the best influence to use in breaking young horses; and afterany horse or mule is fairly well broken care and attention to harness and the like, with proper loading and proper treatment,-will do much to keep him in manageable spirits. "Black Beauty," by Anna Seawell, should be read by every person who owns pr cares for any kind of stock; and the law against cruelty to ani mals should be rigidly enforced.

Communicated. .a periou oi two anu a nau weens irom the close of the Epiphany season affords a time of preparation for Lent; for as the Festival of the Nativity regulates the earlier Christian seasons, so those which follow Epiphany are governed by the date of Easter, the Feast of the Resurrec tion, which may occur as early as March 22nd, or as late as April 25th. Septuagesiiua Sunday is therefore 70 days before the end of Easter week, for the whole week is included in the Fes tival. I-icnt is a penitential season of forty days, observed from very early times and intended to serve as a time of spiritual revival. It inculcates more attention to public and private prayer, to self-examination and meditation upon sacred things, to a withdrawal from public en tertainments and amusements, and to ouch a measure of fasting and other acts of self-denial as may aid in overcoming the natural inclinations and in bringing us more directly under the control of the Holy Spirit of God. It should be under stood that these outward acts of devo tion have no merit in themselves and are useful only so far as by God's grace they may prove helpful in the building up of Christian character, so that no fast, how ever rigid, no outwaTd observance, how ever exac t, can take the place of true in ward itenitence and the humbling of the spirit before God. To keep Lent with any less sincere purpose, is only to bring this godly discipline into contempt with the world, and to wTound the con sciences of Christian people. 1 he first day of Lent falls on ednesday next, commonly called Ash-Wednesday, in allusion to an ancient custom of sprinkling ashes on the head in token of penitence and self-humiliation, lhe forty days remind us of the temptation of our Lorn in the wilderness, and the last days of the season commemorate His suffering and death for the sins of the whole world. It should be deemed a blessed privilege to spend this holy season in closer communion witnooaanti in united supplication with many millions of Chris tians for the pardon -of our sins and for the conversion of the world redeemed by the precious blood of t hrist. $i.oo IN CASH.

It isn't the kind of food you eat, but rather what your stomach fails to dieest, that gives you indigestion. Lard is a foe to digestion. If you had the stomach of an ostrich you could hardly, withstand the ravages of lard-soaked pastry. You have probably found this out and already given up the eating of pastry. 'Tis wholly unnecessary! Anyone can eat and digest food cooked with Cottolene the perfect shortening. It is a pure. vegetable product, made from the best beef suet and choicest vegetable oil. It is neutral in taste and odor ; it is Nature's Gift from the Sunny South. Cottolene is never sold in bulk. It is put up in carefully sealed tin pails. And right here is another advantage. When you buy lard you have no protection as to quality; you simply know you are getting LARD never rpind the grade, it's just L-A-R-D. On the other hand, every pail of Cottolene is uniform the product is guaranteed. You take no chances whatever. In the face of these facts just ask yourself if you can afford to use hog lard when you can get pure, healthful, nutritious Cottolene. USE LESS. Cottolene being richer than either lard or cooking butter, one-third less is required. PUT?-!?

The Race Problem as It Affect Phila delphia The "Black Plague" a Seri ous fleoace to the Quaker City. ,j -Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. The people of the North are, by the gradual Northward drift of the negro population, learning somewhat of the things with which the Southern people have to contend. For the ne gro at the North Is even more crim inally disposed than at the South. The Southern people have always dealt with him with the strong hand : and subjection has restrained hisj criminal tendencies. The following remarkable letter to the Philadelphia J Public Ledger indicates the problem" the negro is coming to be in that city, as well as others: "If there is anything self-evident in J Philadelphia at this time, it is that the ' colored people are arrogating to them selves all the privileges that 'flesh is heir to.' They fail to recognize rights in any body else, are impudent to those whom they meet and offensive in their manner, so mnch-so that public opinion is fast , forming, which must result in some dras-, tic measures. ' "As servants in the household they are simply intolerable, impudent, unclean and unreliable, and in many cases abso lutely dishonest. As 'runners,' they seem to think that every night 'is their night out.' As a matter of fact, unlews a strict account of the larder is kept, they surrep titiously help themselves to supply the wants of their friends or family. "The annals of crime in Philadelphia are made up very largely from these col ored people. I am informed by a mem ber of the grand jury that nearly 70 per cent, of the offenders are colored people. All grades of crime are chargeable to them. One can hardly pick up a daily newspaper but he will find insults to i white people, pocketbook snatching from j women, assault and battery upon the weaker sex, and, what is worst of all, assaults upon young girls or even chil dren. By way of proof, examine the col umns of the Public Ledger for the past week: Monday, at Eighth and Locust streets, a bag wrenched from a woman's arm and she struck; Tuesday, woman at Fortieth and Locust streets thrown down the cellar stairs and nearly killed; Wednesday, Mrs. McCormick assaulted and left for dead; Thursday, two young girls assaulted at night in a sleigh Fri day, robbery and assault at Thirteenth and Master streets; Saturday, two girls robbed and assaulted at Glenolden and another at Bryn Mawr all by colored ruffians, and only one arrest! Such a carnival of crime is without a parallel iaJ a law-abiding community. "They do not seem to live in particular localities in the city, but rather through unscrupulous agents move into good and prosperous neighborhoods for the pur pose of being bought off. To my personal knowledge this has been done in seven or eight cases within a recent date. In one instance they obtained control of a church which had been financially embarrassed. That neighborhood before was a most desirous and respectable one, but it is now damaged so that it may never re cover. This brings a loss to the city of Philadelphia in its revenues, as in every instance of the Board of Revision of Taxes has been compelled to reduce the assess ment of surrounding properties. "The crimes which are punishable by death in the Southern States receive here only imprisonment. Whether this know ledge in the colored race makes them the bolder is one of inference. "Our earlier statesmen never contem plated when they gave the negro his new privileges Tiny such results as have fol lowed. What the remedy is for this growing evil is a very important prob lem, but something must be done to check the increasing misdeeds of the col ored people. A little education absolute ly unfits them for their position in life. Ihey not only think themselves 'as good as the whites,' but absolutely better. "These are everyday thoughts, but, un fortunately, too true, and whether the near future will bring about a change condition is one of the unsolved problems of the day. If the situation is not changed for the better. I can see unfortunate fore bodings for the colored race as a class." And this in the' city which, next to Boston, was formerly most insistent that a negro was about three degrees better than a white manl It is. of course, no pleasure to the Southern people to know that the troubles that afflict them are appear ing in Northern communities, but they may be pardoned for feeling that there is something of retributive jus tice in it. For nearlyforty years the Northern people have done all they could to make heavier the South s peculiar burden. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Hancock's Liquid Snlpbar should be 1. every home. It cures eczema, iirap!ef, tet ter, ringworms, dandruff, cuts, burns, open sores, djpbtheria, sore throat, and all blood and skin diseases.
