Points and Paragraphs of Things Fressnt, Fast and Future. A PEW DAYS IN CHARLESTON. While it has been two weeks since wd yisited the Charleston Exposition it is not too late to make reference to it. Press of work on our return last week in ade it impossible to say any thing in detail. It was North Carolina week, and tnousauds of North Carolinians were there. Last week we made mention of Governor Aycock'd visit to the Expo sition and the fine impression he made. It was Piesident's day on Wednes day, and of course many people were attracted at that particular time by the President's presence. How well he was pleased and how heartily he was welcomed into the South, has been told and told again by the daily press. Charleston did indeed give him a roy al welcome and he was alive to the keenest appreciation of it all. The Exposition is not great as an exposition simply, for it has to com pete with the World's Fair at Chicago, the Pan-American at Buffalo ; but as an Exposition for Charleston and South Carolina it is indeed very great. Mof. of the credit of the whole thing is due, W3 learned, to a few braye, strong spirtis of Charleston ; and the work that has been done and the exhibit shown fully illustrate what may be done by bold determination and persistent effort. The Exposition is up-to-date in all that has baen undertaken ; and while it does not compare in- size with the great World's Fair at Chicagi , .x some respects it may be said to havo made improvements. The Southern Stales as a whole have not made a great exhibit, and herein the South has missed a fine opportunity.- Many visitors have gone from the North and they expected to see a full display ot the South's products, but they have been disappointed. The Exposition as a whole is well worth a visit by any one, North or South, considering the cheap, rates and the light expense of living a lew days in Charleston. -OI course South Carolina has the most elaborate and complete exhibit, but next comes North Carolina. Our State exhibit is very pretty and attracts great attention. It shows well the products of North Carolina and is one of the most tastily arranged exhibits yet seen on any Exposition ground. The exhibit from the West Indies is very j retty and is quite creditably ar ranged. The products of the soil are shoiv::, -,vhich in some cases are more intc res ling as curiosities than anything else ; a id the manufactured products show v.'jil. ' . . i'c. of the huildings representing the NuiLern States have no exhibits at sll. bat present the appearance of finely furnished club rooms. The United States fish exhibit is fine ar.-d the Art building is one of the most attractive there. The Negro building is a place of con siderable interest and -the exhibit is quite creditable. We were especially struck by the display from the silk mills at Fayetteville, which are oper ated by colored labor. The Midway is a Midway, of course, but has fewer objectionable features than we have seen before, and the open gambler was not in evidence about the Exposition grounds at all. Taken altogether the Exposition is a fine success and has many things' to laterest all who may find time and oc casion to visit it. Charleston itself is a very attractive old city. It has a number of fine churches, good hotels, beautiful parks cemeteries and the like, some large business houses, some important man ufactories, and many places of historic interest, such as Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie and the like. " All told we haye not spent a few days more pleasantly and profitably any where, and this la the estimate of al most every one who has visted the Ex position.

Whitehead & Co. FOR AT HOI, How Mar j oris Found Fairyland. THROUGH A PEETTY GATE. By Zelia Margaret Walters in Sunday-School TUnes. "I know it's just stories," said Mar jorie firmly to herself as she closed her took, "but I wish things like that did happen. I wish a funny fairy godmother would take me away to a beautiful palace, or a mysterious white bird would fly before me to an enchant ed forest, or something." She had been reading in the meadow and leaned back against the oak-tree to think about it. Just then the saucy east wind snatched up her hat and sent it careering through the air at a great rate. At first she did not move, but as the hat sailed on and on a eudden hope took possession of her. Soppose the wind was carrying her hat to the fairyland. In that case all was necessary was to follow It. It really did seem as if the hat was be witched. It would settle to the ground and lie until she almost reached it, and then it was up and away again. Across the field, across the road, down the lane, it went, and at last it whisked suddenly over the high fence that shut in the little cottage that she had often seen. With a beating heart she climb ed up and looked over. There was no one in sight but a little lame girl sit ting in her chair under the big elm tree. "Please, may I come and get ray hat?" "Oh, yes I" said the lame girl smil ing brightly. "1 would get it for you if I could." But Marjorie did not see the bright smile nor the wistful look that followed her. She got her hat quickly and wont out.- She felt cum - and disap pointed because no adventure had been found by following the runaway hat. She went straight home and told - her mother about it. "Of course, I didn't expect to get to fairyland," she concluded, "but 1 thought something might happen be sides just common everj-day things." "Still, you might haye got to fairy land if you had known how, and, bet ter yet, you might have taken some one with you," said her mother. "Whr t do j ou mean ?" " cried Mar jorie. "That little lame girl her name is Laura Randal has just movad here She doesn't know any one ; her parents are poor, and she has few books or games. Ii a girl of her own age would visit her, think how perfectly happy she might be made by a little atten tion and sharing of treasures." "I see, mama," said Majorie, and a half-hour later she was ready to start on a yisit to Laura Nov Marjoria never did . things by halves, and she had her brotberV little wagon piled full cf things out ol which to construct her fairyland. She went down the lane to the cottage, looked over the fence again, and said : "May I come in, please?" And again the little lame girl smiled, and Marjorie drew her little wagon in through the gate. "I've come to stay with you this afternoon, if I may. We will read my story-books and have some fun, and after a while we will have a little pic nic. My brother Harold is coming to help us eat. He's good at eating up everything that's 'lef$; and, beside?, he's a jolly boy, he's just as much fun as a girl." With this introduction Marjorie be gan upacking her wared. "We'll play I'm a peddler," she said, "and you're a lady. Please, madam, may I come in and show my goods?" "Yes," said. Laura, "if you're a nice polite peddler, and take off your hat, and scrape your shoes at the door." AN ALMOST FATAL .RUNAWAY Started a horrible ulcer on the leg of J. B.

CHILDREN Laura bought all of the boohs ?; fabulous prices, and seemed so eager to read them that 'Marjorie declared she would leave them there until every one had been read through. Then they made a comical scrap-book, cut ting out all the pictures of people and animals, fitting new heads and bodies together, and what funny effects' were produced ! Harold was on hand to take his share in the picnic, and, as the sun was setting, he and Marjorie said gcod by, with many promises to ccme again. ; SI had a beautiful time to-day," said Marjorie to her mother. "Yes," said her mother", the way to fairyland is yery easy. You just en. ter the little gate of kinddness and go straight on." Teach Children Industry. School and Fireside. There are some misguided parents, in this world. They send their children to school with the one aim in view to educate them, never dreaming that education or book learning alone does not accomplish much. The writer once heard a mother tell her boy that she wanted him to have an education so he could make his living easier. A boy educated with that purpose in view will not be benefitted by an edu cation. The boy when he enters schocl, especially the higher institutions of learning, must be given to understand that education does not fit a man tor idleness but industry. That he may more fully understand his duty and be ible to do it in a more satisfactory manner both to himself and society in general. Then, too, he should be giv en to understand that all labor is hon orable. Teachers ol men oyerlook this point while they instruct the boy. A boy that is not industriouajrom child hood up will never amount to much, education or no education. - A Pretty Incident, LColumbia S. C.) State. When the train bearing Companies A and F of the Richmond Blues to the Charleston Exposition, paused at the union station yesterday at noon all dis embarked, the commander drew up his men m line on the platform and put them-at parade rest, while the fine band accompanying them played "Near er, My God, to Thee." Briefly reques ting those present to say to the people of Columbia that this was a tribute in honor of South Carolina's dead hero, Wade Hampton, the captain reim barked his men, and they proceeded to Charleston. It was a pretty inci dent. Child Burned in Plymouth. Plymouth Beacon. While at play in the yard of her grand-mother, Mrs. A. M. Johnson, on Saturday last, little Pattie Forbes built a fire in a toy cook stove and in some way her dress ingnited and she ran in to the house where Mrs. Johnson met her and tried to tear the llaming cloth ing off, which she succeeded in do ing, but not until the child was fear fully burned almost from feet to head, and Mrs. Johnson's hands and arms burned almost to a crisp. Neighbors rushed in and did a!l pos sible for the two sufferers until Dr. Ward arrived and dressed the wounds. - s. Despite the efforts of kind fiends and the careful treatment of the physician, little Pattie grew weaker until Sunday night when bronchial affections set in, and at 7 :55 Monday morning herearth ly sufferings were relieved by death, aud holy angels bore her spirit back to the God wlio gave it, , It is better to have loyed and lost Uhan to have married on ?50 a month.

WORKING WOMEN LEADING. Clnngas Predicted fcr the Next jD5W&3. Philadelphia Record. There is a i obvious tendency cn the part of women who have entered the professions and some who are in business to wear dresses which are each year further removed from the fashionable wear. Convenience first dictated a modification of fashion,, but new there is a growing disposition tc adopt a style which will be peculiar to women workers, leaving the Paris fashions exclusively to the butterflies of tociety. This, in turn is having an efftct on all women who are not . the al.Lolute slayes of fashion. Just as we h .ve men who dress well without fol lovting tLo customs cf fashionable men about town men who wear one res pectable suit of clothes all day and dy aiierduy, int-kad cf dressing 'n 1" or fon'r snitH Bfo.ording to the hour so we aheudy havo w onion who rciu&e to follow the fashion plates. Out of this conditiou will grow a habit of sensible and healthful dressing for ail except the women who devote their time and thoughts wholly to social matters. Strangely enough, this emancipa tion of woman from the tyranny ol fashion in dras3 receives strong support in France, where a prominent' deputy has introduced in the Assembly a bill to prevent the wearing of corsets by any woman under thirty years of age. In this movement the deputy has the assistance of 2L Octave Usanne,'. the editor cf a leading fashion periodical. The latter makes the 'prophecy that within twenty year3 not only the cor set, liu also the long skirt and the bulging sleeve will Lave disappeared. Whether the strictly fashionable min ority shall continue these pernicious fashiens or not will matter litt'e pro vided the majority ol women shall ex ercise a large measure of independence ?.nd place comfort and health in dress before eyery thing else. A prominent society woman, the Princess Mary d'Ysemburg, of Eeus3, is even more radical in her suggestions for dreess re iortn. She would abolish corsets, hih heels and face veils and institute skirls which shall not reach the ankle, san dals or shoes without heels and gowns to fall straight from the shoulders. "There could be litllo hope cf any permanent reform in dress whi;h should dispense wbateyer is injurious to health but for the increasing inde pendence of the professional women and the woman of business. Ol the serious injury which is done to young girls by tight lacing the doctors do not speaK extravagantly. It is possible that corsets which do not compress the body to the point of discomfort may not only be harmless, but even healthful ; yet it is easily apparent that we have returned to the mischiev ous custom of inordinate tight lacing. Fortunately the women of business, whose numbers and influence are growing, cannot afford to lace. Just as man has been forced by the nature ot his occupation to abandon the laces and frills of an early period, so will an increasing number of women find it necessary to devota less lime to their toilet and to consider convenience and comfort in their dress.
