The little fellow thrived like any Lealthy new comer and its mother progressed to the road of recovery without unv backset When the child was nine days old Thomas Brewer, a brother of Lcflwich Brewer, together w ith his wile and other rclalivetiaud neigh bora, went to visit the home in which the stork had ho recently paid a call. While Mrs. Thomas Brewer was holding the baby iu her arms calling it endearing names and congratulating its proud pa rents ou the splendid specimen, the little one suddenly began talking, It railed the names ol its part-Ills and grandparents and of other rel atives present, following each uaine with the word ''heaven," the ar ticulation being perfect.

Miss F.tbel K. Ketler, iniiou- ary of the I'reftbyterian church of author, Dr. Lang. I'mtetJing I LIW Vt DLrtinDLrtiXU 2 Moon, write the following very against the work of certain animal, sr-st j interesting letter to a friend: writers liccause of their false and distorted nature studies, Piviilcut lioost-velt, in an interview with F. B. (lark pHutcd in the June F.v erylxslv s, nays 'Take Mr. ling's story of 'Wa yecscs, the White Wolf.' Here is what the writer nays iu his preface to the story: 'Kvery incident in this wolf'a life, from his grass hopier hunting to the cunning car ilsm chase, and from I tie uen the rooks to the meeting of wolf and children ou the storm swept barrens, id minutely true to fact, and is Itased squarely upon my own observation and that of my Iu diaus.' "As a matter of fact the story of Wavecses is fiilled with the w ild est iiuproubilities and a few math ematical impossibilities. If Mr, Uing wants us to lielieve his story of tbe killing of the caribou fawn by the wolf in the way that he says it was done, he must produce eye witnesses and allidavits. I don't believe the thing occurred. Noth ing except a shark or an alligator will attempt to kill by a bite be hind the shoulder, there is no less vulnerable point of attack; an animal might be bitten there in a coiifiisdd scullle, of course,or seied in his jump so as to throw linn; but no man who knows anything of the habits of wolves or even ol fighting dog would dream of tic scribing this as the place to kill w ith one bite. I have seen scores of animals that have leeu killed by wolves; the killing or crippling bites were always in the throat, Hank, or ham. Mr. (ieo. Shiras, who has not seen scores but lain I reds of such carcasses, tells me that thu death wounds or disabling wounds were invariably iu the throat or Hank, except when the animal was first hamstrung. "If Mr. Long's wolf killed the caribou fawn by a bite through the heart, as the writer asserts, the wolf either turned a summerset or pretty near it -or else got his head upside down under the fore legs of the fawn, a sulliciently dilli- lilt performance. ay ceses would have had to do this before he could get the whole breast of the animal iu his mouth iu order to crush it and bite through to the heart, ll is very unlikely that any wolf out side of a liook would lie fool enough to attempt a thing like this even with a fawn caribou, when the kill ing could I done far more easily in so many easier ways." Dr. Uing comes back at the President uud says that if he is honorable he will not hide Is-hind his ollice, but must retract, as lit1 fear and tiembliug lest the child s, (Long) can prove what he says in ileal li will be followed Ity some ter- djH book. rune caiasiropiie.

Wonders of the Pyramids- Rulllinure Sun. There is not an engineer in the world who will not admit that the marvelous accomplishments of the ancient Lgyplains in building the pyramids is unparalleled by any mordeii engineering achievements. The pyramids ol (ii.eh, erected more than ft.OOO years ago, stand as the monuments of n departed race. These vast silent hulks of masonry are objects of wonder and evuy to the modern engineer. They are perfect in masonry, and some of them contai n blinks of 1 1 me weighing :t(K) to 5(HI tons. The remarkable thing about the con struction of these py rruiids is that the stoue of which they are built must have been brought hundreds of miles across deserts and over mountains. Kven with all the appliances of this age, it would have bteu a well nigh impossible feat to transport this material over the same routes the Egyptians brought it with no Improvements whatever. There seems every reason to believe that these ancient children of the Nile carried immense blin ks of graite by baud or horse power. A Fortunate Texan. Mr. E. W.

At first I felt that I could not endure it, and w anted to go home; but God made me see my selfishness antl now I am so glad to be here, and pray that He will make me one of his helpers to lift these people up into a lietter life for His sake. While I was in Cbiinju a few weeks ago and was attending the morning church service, as Mrs. Tate, M. D., aud myself were com ing out of the church a poor worn an came up to ucr with tears in her eyes and said, "My daughter is dead. Mrs. late told me he daughter had been beaten by an angry husband, and from these wounds she bail tiled. Mi's. late remarked, how thankful we should lie that we were born in a chris tian country. I said yes, and too, how glad we should be to Is? iter- mittetl to work for such a people that hail not enjoyed the same privileges. Mr. and Mrs. Msliet arrived here about three weeks ago. They were on the "Dakota," which was wreck ed alsiut forty-live miles out from 1 okohama, Japan, i ou probably know Mr. NisU't, as he was born in Wax haw, not far from Monroe. We are so pleased with both him self and wile, and while they lost almost everything they had except l hand bag and typewriter, they are so cheerful over it. They had Im-cii keeping house for several years and had collected quite a nice lot of things, most of which they brought with them. They estimate tho loss at about three thousand dollars. I felt so sorry for her w lien she spoke of her moth er's picture, saying it was the only one in the family, so could not be replaced. This was the only time I saw a tear. You have probably not heard of the wreck uud would like to know something of it. Tho captain did uot seem to know what he was doing and was a mile oil the course.

Three ladies had rather a rnght ful experience. They were carried to a little village, they knew not where, and after paying the Inmt meir thirty dollars, they went into a Japanese house, ami in a short while the boatmen came and de manded five hundred dollars from them. They did not have so much, ami told the iiieu they would give them one hundred dollars. But they would not accept that amount.

I Mrht!rr Ha-. 1 The suggestion of The Monroe, Journal that something shotiUI be done to protect parents in Nolth Carolina from the wideo-n mar riairc laws t.l South Carolina is a good one. We have alwas bean I that it is easy to get nuiried iu South Carolina - that all you have to do is in go to a minister or fti cer clothed with the Ihwt to '(! the ki.ot' and the wotk ran done without any guarded rest lie Hons as tu ace. etc. And How we aie told that it is really not neccs sarv i'l that State to hae any ccie uionv. but that 4 couple is legally married iu South Carolina if they, iu the present e of any w it new, agree to lie man and w ife, aud that under the law even a mock mar ri'ige is binding if pulled elf in Hit presence of witnesses. The unrestricted marriage laws of South Carolina have resulted in blighting the holies of hundreds ol parents in North Carolina who iive seeu the opportunities of life closed to a sou or daughter, w ho at at early age, under a erae w hich they called "love," hurried to South Carolina and got married when thev knew no more almut tin responsibilities of married life than a nii month old yearling. Aside from the extreme disgust that kind of marriages causes, there is an element of sadness that accompanies such senseless per formaiiees. To see a bright lsy or girl, whose mi nils are yet in the formative or unileveloieil js'iiod, give up the opportunity of rmdv ing a practical education, and w ith nothing that they can call their own except a little wearing apparel, assume responsibilities that should never ls takeu except by mature minds and only after long and care ful e nioiderat ion, is like a leap in the dark from a dangerous preci pice aud alsiut as fatal in its re suits - fatal to the success and hap piness of the youths w ho start tint iu life thus handicapped. If young iieople would always wait to reach the ages ol . to IK) years liefore marriage, there wouldn't be so many examples that furnish an argument that "marriage is a failure." While it is true that through natural mental weakness a giddy headed pair of things, at any age, that wear pants, cloth and calico may sometimes marry quickly through "love at first sight," it is not often that marriage is a "failure" if the couple carry w ith them a sullic icut amount of age aud experience to be guided by mature judgment and common sense. Youthful marriages and "roman tic" marriages are the kind that are disgusting to thoughtful peo ple. Of course it is not impossible for successful and happy lives to follow, just us it is not impossible for a man to bring down a bird on the w ing at a distance of a hundred yards with a shotgun, but the chances are against such adven tures. The Child Marriage Hvll. t'liiirli.lti- i1t,it. lieferring to the child marriages which South Carolina continues to permit anil citing a recent rase iu which runaway children from North Carolina thwarted parents by cross ing the line, The Monroe Journal suggests that North Carolina "re fuse to rerogui.e the marriage as valid in this State of persons under age who have such service perform ed in South Carolina." With all due regard for the principle of comity among States as laid down in the full faith and credit clause of the Federal constitution, we do uot hesitate to express our opinion that the matter may yet come to this. When Earl Russell was on trial liefore the British House of Ijords for bigamy, a Nevada divorce from tho first wife was proved by the defence, but the law lords, term ing the Nevada Dakota brand of divorce "a fraud upon civilized jurisprudence," refused to reeog ni.e the decree as valid, and the accused nobleman's trial by his peers resulted in a penitentiary sentence. If the South (arolina legislature continues to defeat the apparent desire of its people that an end be put to the Smith Carolina child marriage by enacting a mar riage license law, adjoining States may lie driven to unusual measures for self protection.
