OBSERVATIONS OF
The Youth's Companion says that there are April fools and other kind
of fools as well. Of the other kind It says Puddin'-head Wilson writes :
- "Statistics show that we lose more fools on; the
"April Fools." 4th of July than on air the other days of the
year put together." That may be, but as long
as the 4th of July continues to come around there will doubtless be a crop
of fcols of the same kind to kill. - ?
It goes out through the Chatham Record that the chicken, law of that
county is unpopular. The Record observes that people ought to remember
that chickens have no more right to scratch up
Chickens as Trespassers, what is planted in a neighbor's garden than hogs
r have to root up what Is planted in his field.
There is much to be said about trespass- In the light of our present civil- .
zation people ought to see clearly that carelessress which allows one man's
stock or poultry to trespass upon the holdings or belongings of another to
destruction of any interest, is a bad thing. The Charlotte Observer felici
tates the country on the signs of advancement seen in the stricter attention
that is being paid to the law of trespass. More care for this law would be
the means of avoiding many unpleasant relations and indeed many suits
at court. . - ..
- The Commonwealth feels a great interest in the question cfgood roads
and somehow we can't suppress a suggestion now and then. In fact we
have made some observations recently. that left a

some men hauling wood out of the woods to a
railroad wood pile; and it was painful to see the teams labor in drawing
the loads through the mud. We felt like the wood haulers ought to be
punished for cruelty to animals. It was so muddy and so hard for, the
teams to get through I Only a few miles from the place we looked out
upon a beautiful road which seemed quite inviting for a pleasure drive.
It. was well ditched on either side, throwmsp to a turtle-back shape in the

The following editorial remarks by the Atlanta Constitution will interest
all North Carolinians : "In electing Dr. C. W. Byrd, pastor of the First
- Methodist church of Atlanta, to the . presidency
D?. Byrd Honored. of Wesleyan Female college the trustees of
that famous institution have acted with great
wisdom and foresight. In Dr. Byrd they have found a man who combines
splendid executive ability and Indefatigable energy, with fine scholarly at
tainments. Indeed, had the trustees of Wesleyan searched the entire
country and they did have the entire country to select from they could
not have found a man more thoroughly fitted for this important work.
Wesleyan has always been fortunate in the selection of its presidents. She
has chosen them from recognized leaders of the great denomination under
whose jurisdiction it is and in doing that it would be well nigh impossible
to make a mistake. Her retiring president, Dr. Roberts, has been most suc
cessful in his administration of the affairs of Ihis noted college for women ;
the enrollment haying been largely increased, the already magnificent build
ings enlarged and improved and the standing of this, the oldest female col
lege in the world, still further added to. - r ., Dr. Byrd, should he
accept the honor which has been conferred upon him, will step into a most
important trust. To fill the place once filled by Dr. Bass, whose blessed
memory is today revered by so many good women throughout the south, is
no mean ambition, and Dr. Byrd, as well ' as old Wesleyan are to be con
gratulated upon his election to the presidency of that institution."
v It is a common thing for people to reach hasty conclusions which cause .
them tojio and say things which are unwise 'and later bring mortification.
V - Recently it has gone the rounds of the newspa-
Hasty CcmctasionS- pers that Dr. Walter H. Page ate with negroes
J - at a dinner given by the Unitarian Club. Se
vere strictures were passed upon him and upon the speech he tAade. It
now turns out that it was all a mistake as will be seen from the letter by
President C. G. Vardell, of Bed Springs Seminary in this State to the Char
lotte Observer : "To The Editor of The Observer : I was at first some
what amused and then a little annoyed at .the criticisms that have been
passed on my friend, Dr. Walter H. Page, and the circumstances attending
the dinner given by the Unitariah'Club, at Hotel St. Denis, at which time
it is alleged that Dr. Paee dined with a negro. The facts are chiefly these :
The Unitarian Club, numbering with its guests, two hundred or more, met
for a discussion ; the, dinner was incidental, no .negroes were invited to the
dinner ; but two came in when the dinner was supposed to be oyer, to bear
the discussion, just as they might have gone to a hall where there had :
been no dinner. Mr. G. C. Eggleston was invited to speak on "The South
as It Used to Be ;" Mr. Baldwin on "The South as It Is," and Dr. Page was ;
on "The South as It la to Be' . I was at the time a guest of Dr. Page and
was invited to the dinner. I listened to the addresses with interest. Nothing '
ai said that was hurtful and very muoh that was in true sympathy with

suae dined with a negro and the whole matter is a mistake."

IIATORAL WONDER

fJOT SPRINGS, S. D., March 30.
A In view of the fact that Wind
cave and its picturesque surroundings
have been converted into a nation a1
cs;k, pubiic in resign this subterra
nean wonder will doubtless be stimulat
ed to such , an extent that its fame will
spread throughout the entire country,
The bill establishine what is to be
known as the " Wind Cave National
Park" has already become a law. ,
The bill sets aside about 9,000 acres
of land in the Black Hills district of
South Dakota and confers jurisdiction
of the same upon the secretary of the
interior, with full power to lease the
big cavern underlying a portion of the
lands and also to lease portions of the
laud upon which buildings may be
erected for the accommodation of vlsi
tors. Homestead ars who have acquir
ed rignts in this tract of land are to be
i allowed to select other lands in lieu
I thereof within the bpundery of the
btate. The proceeds arising from the
leasing "of the cave and surrounding
tracts are to be paid into the treasury,
and it is the intention of the interior
department to use this fund iu beauti
fying and improving the park.
Inese lands are of tbe same nature
as those in the Yellowstone park, wjlfe
tne exception tnat toe geysers which
produced the wonderful cavern under
lying a large part Of the lands embraced
in tbe park. have beconte extinct, there
by - leaving the dry excavations to be
filled with the, pure aii- of the outer
world. -
- . POWER FOB LIGHT PLANT.
By constructing a dam across one ol
tbe canyons near the cave an artificial
lake can be formed, which in itself will
not only aid in making tbe place at
tractive, but will afford ample power
for an electric lighting plant to be used
to illuminate the cava. The enter
prise had been contemplated by pri
vate parties when they were seeking to
acquire title to the tend in tbe early
couteet regarding the right to enter
it under tbe homestead law. r
various persons ar-i corporations
have at dijfeian BeTbv?gJit to-eb
tain title to this natural wonder. Home
stead filings and miners' filings were
placed upon the land covering tbe en
trance to the cave, resulting in pro
tractive litigation. This litigation was
finally terminated and the interior de
partment has held that none' of the
claimants were entitled to the property,
but that it ought to be preserved by tbe
government for the purpose of a na
tional park.
The cave was discovered in 17 by
"Lame Johnny,'- a notorious -stage rob
ber and outlaw, who was afterward in
vited to a "necktie party" and was seen
no more. Later, in 1884, while a cow
boy was riding : through a gulch his
horse became frightened, and stopping
to learn the cause, he discovered a small,
oval-shaped hole, 8x10 inches, in the
bottom of the gulch, where tbe wind
was rushing out with great force. From
this tbe cave took its name.
BLASTED" AN OPENING.
This being the only opening discov
ered they blasted an entrance near it,
and going a short distance, supposed
they had reached tbe end of the cave.
It remained idle until 1890, when some
parties located it as mineral claims, and
put men to work blasting out small
openings and exploring.; Since then
they have explored "100 miles of pass
ages without finding the end and have
discovered 3,000 chambers, varying in
size from 12x12 feet to oyer three acres.
There are fourteen different ; routes
and but three have been opened to the
public at an -expense of $25,000 the
Garden of Eden, Fair. Grounds and
Pearly Gates. It is acknowledged by
the many thousands who visit the cave
annually to be one of the wonders of
the world, differing In formation and
scenery from all other caves.
Geologists claim that "the formation
is unknown. There being no geologi-J
cal names for these formations, the
guides named them what they most
resembled box work, pop-corn and
frost-work. The formation of other
caves are also found stalactites, stalag
mites, geodltes, quartz and calcite crys
tals and mineral-bearing rock. The
cave is formed of fissures or crevices,
paralleling one another all the way
from 60 to 800 feet apart and connect
ed by side passages.'
EIGHT TIERS OF CHAMBERS.
It has been aptly likened to a sponge,
there being --eight different tiers of
chambers overlying one another, some
of which are large enough to inclose
the congressional library, and - most
artistically decorated with ferns, grasses
and feathers of pure, white lime and

BEY. HARRIET R. EDWARDS, CLDITOirIA.
Rev. Harriet R. Edwards In a recent letter from Mt. Pleasant Park,
Clinton,' la., writes: "
" bttre found that Peruntt H a Wonderful nudktae to ase la disease
peculiar to women. It quickly and permanently restores health and vigor
and acts ms a natural toaJe to a worn-out system. I have so far never observed
a case which was not greatly aided by Hs uae."-RBV. DR. H. R EDWARDS.
THERE are a multitude of women,
especially hnsewlveB, and all other
women obliged to be on their feet
constantly, who are wretched beyond de
scription, simply because their strength
and vitality ia sapped away by oatarrnai
discharges from the pelvic organs.
These women get up in the morning
tired, drag themselves through their
dally duties tired, only to go to. bed at
night as tired aa before.
Peruna Is euch a perfect specific for
each case that when patients have once
ttsed it they can never be induced to
quit it until they are permanently cured.
It -begins to relieve the disagreeable
gypsum studded with pure, glistening
gems of the same lormation. Tbe cav
ern known aa the "Fair Grounds" is a
fair illustration of it. It covers more
than an acre of space and about forty
feet from floor to ceiling. . Those wno
have witnessed tbe Yellowstone park

of attractiveness, to the Mammoth
cave.
Combination of Salads.
Examiner.
It seems in these days as if nothing
that is left over from the table need go
to waste. If there. Js no other use for
it, it can generally be made into some
kind of a salad. : Of course, there are a
few things that will not serve for this
purpose ; but one sees so many new
and original ways of using things in
salad that one comes to think there is
no limit to the possibilities in this
ine. - ,
And really, the combinations are
often surprising. Sometimes there will
be only, two different articles in one
salad, and in others there will be three
or four, or even more, and a judicious
choice and arrangement of these ingre
dients will allow one to use some things
that would almost seem impossible. :
We learn this economy in using
everything that is left over from the
French people, who never allowed any
thing to be wasted, and we Americans
are improving in this respect on what
used, to obtain among us.
One thing that tbe housekeeper
sbonid remember is that there is practi
cally no vegetable that cannot be used
as a salad. Whatever may be left over
from dinner one day, may be used for
luncheon the next day, and make-
most palatable salad. Almost anything
is possible with a good mayonnaise
dressing. Beans, peas, beets, carrots,
are all good, and cf the latest vegetables
to be used for this purpose is cauliflower.
Any two or three of these may be
combined: tbe best 'way is to try the
different ones, and see which you like,
but don't be afraid of mixing different
things. The addition of a little celery
will improve many ct them; or, still
better, green peppers ; or one may use
both celery and green peppers in al
most any salad. There is nothing that
will give a better flavor than a little
green pepper, ana just now they are
so cheap that it costs almost nothing to
use them.
Meat thai is left over from dinner, as
well as vegetables, can be used tcmake
salad. .Any kind of poultry is", very
good, and, though it can .always be

Sr. Loronz's Cup of Tea.
When tbe great Austrian surgeon,
Dr.Lorenz.was in New York last Decem
ber, he was deluged with invitations to
dinner. All wanted, to see the blonde
giant who had become so famous for
bis success in operating without a
knife. He had come to America to
cure the little daughter of a Chicago
millionaire of her terrible hip disease,
and had then visited city after city per
forming the same operation free of
charge for scores of children whose
parents had nothing to pay. Wher
ever he appeared crowds gathered to
see him. The newspapers were full of
his pictures and of anecdotes of his ap
pearance and his habits. ,
Dr. Lorenz was present at a banquet
given In his honor. Bottles were pass
ed around the table, and many of the
guests : drank. The principal guest,
however, pushed his wine aside untast
ed and asked tbe waiter to bring him a
cup of tea. German ideas of temper
ance are less strict than ours, and some
one asked him if he was a teetotaler.
"I ean't say that I am a temperance I
agitator," said Dr. Lorenz, "but I am a
surgeon. My success depends upon
my brain being clear, my muscles firm,
and my nerves steady. No one can
take alcoholic liquors without blunting
these physical powers which I must
keep on edge. As a surgeon I must
not drink."
Is there any occupation save that of
a loafer in which we do not need the
very best powers that God bas given
us? Surely, if this world-famous man
dare not drink, how dare we, who have
our living to earn and our reputations
to make? Classmate. '
