Out ot the great number of cages of the dread disease in Virginia doubtless many could be greatly relieved in such an institution. tut The News and Observer, and most of the other papers that have spo ken of Mr. Bryan's lecture in this State on "The Value of an Ideal," have - said it was a great effort. The Raleigh Times So Many Men, So a . . does not think so. It says : "There are twenty- Many Opinions. . L , five men in North Carolina who can make a bet ter speech than Mr. Bryan made in Raleigh. He may have charmed kings and potentates in Europe, but his effort here did not rise above mediocri ty. This is the opinion of some gentlemen here who are not in tne news paper business at all." The Times' observation is a high compliment to North Carolinians. - t t t t Johjj G. Carlisle, one of Kentucky's great lawyers, now living in New York, was retained as counsel with Joha S. Wise, ot Virginia, for the ne Will Not Associate With a Negro Lawyer. Carlisle was informed that James Hayes, a negro lawyer, would also ap pear in the case, be declined to have any connection with the case at all. While he gave as his reason that pressure of engagements prevented him from taking part in the case, it is generally felt that the presence of the negro lawyer in the case ruled Mr. Carlisle out. The editor of the Louisville Times said that Mr. Carlisle's true reason was "the pressure ot self-respect." t t t t Perhaps no such length of life has been recorded in a long, long time as that of Noah Raby, who is said to have been born in Gates county, of this State. The Commonwealth has more Lived 131 Years. than once ment5on9d Mr. Raby. The following item concerning his death was sent out from New Brunswick, N. J., March 1st : "Noah Raby died today In the Piscataway poor hou, e, of which he had been an inmate for the last forty years. If he had lived until April 1st, according to his own statement, Raby would have been 132 years old. He retained his memory and would recall many incidents of his long ca reer until very recently. Raby is said to haye been born in Eatontown, Gates county, N. C, on April 1, 1772. He enlisted ia the navy in 1805 and served on the ship Constitution and the frigate Brandywine, on the latter of which Farragut was a lieutenant." t t t t The New Berne Journal thinks that newspapers are misjudged in many things they print. It says that papers are rarely personal in their observations of things that ought to be correct Newspaper Nagging. ftnd that they dia,ike to offer criticisms, even when they feel it a duty to do so. The Journal closes its remarks on the subject with the following paragraph : "So far as newspaper 'nagging' goes, there are propbably a hundred open criticisms made by people on the street, to one comment made by the local newspaper. And the value of the newspaper criticism is seen, its so called 'nagging' effects what street criticism could not, and the very news paer which has brought about the cure, by causing the official to correct his public administration of the duties of his position, does not rejoice in what it had to publish, and only did en because it was in duty bound to note and seek the correction of any and all abuses which concerns its com munity, or tho3e whose best interests it can serve." t txx North Carolina Herrings are caught in such quantities now that they may be considered a common article of food on any man's table, though a hundred years ago they were a delicacy with OUT Herrings in History. many Ag ar back as 1769 North Carolina Her rings were in demand away from our own borders. On July 10, 1769, Thomas Iredell wrote from Jamaica to his nephew, James Iredell, at Eden ton, to ship him twenty barrels of Herrings. This is gathered from the "Life and Correspondence of James Iredell," who figured prominently m the early hietcry of North Carolina. In the latter part of the year 1768, Mr. Iredell, a lad of seventeen,arrived at Edenton, in this State, from Eng land, and entered upon his duties as Comptroller of Customs. In the same letter to James Iredell from his uncle, Thomas Iredell, in Jamaica, the lat ter wrote that he shipped by the same comveyance a runaway negro, and asked pay lor the negro in "red oak hogshead staves," along with the twen ty barrels of herrings. tut The last Legislature of North'Carolina passed an act to prohibit the man ufacture, sale and importation of liquors in Cleveland, Cabarrus, Mitchell and Gaston counties. The Supreme court of PlaC9 Of Delivery iS the North Carolina has decided, upon the act passed Place Of Sale. by the Legislature, that the place of deliyery is the Place oi sale for liquors in North Carolina. Chief Justice Clark ren dered the opinion. A man in Durham, which is prohibited territory, sent $2.00 to Roxboro for some liquor. It was sent to Durham and Judge Clark holds that the Roiboro man sold liquor in Durham, the place of de livery. The second section of the act for the counties mentioned is the ba sis for Judge Clark's decision, and reads as follows : "That the place where delivery of any spirituous malt, vinous or far. mented liquors Is made in the State of North Carolina shall be held and cTs rued to be the plac? of sale thereof, and any station or other place Un said State to which any person, firm, company or corporation shall sh o or convey any spirituous, malt, vinous, fermented or other intoxicat ship or convey nj i . ,. carXVjne of same to a purchaser, tag liquor. lor Ih. pu '.Z e Z- -a- .tall be 'ZZr ,p.r.tuon., .rn.lt, vl-oa., I.r- for medicinal purposes only.

BY CHRISTINE TERHUNE HSRRICK, Author of "Cradle and Nursery," "First Aid to the Young Housekeeper," "Housekeeping Made Easy," "What to Est." "In City Tents," Etc, Copyright, 1904. by Christine Teihune Herrick. JN the first place, the bath means cleanliness, when properly taken A poor bath is almost as bad as no bath at all. And when cleanliness is achiev ed a long step is taken towards health and a still longer towards good looks. No one can hope to be really attractive who has a poor complexion, and no one can expect a good complexion who does not keep the pores of the skin open and free of matter which does not belong there. Of course, any woman thinks she knows how to take a bath. Nearly every one labours under this impression until she has had a Turkish bath and learned what is meant by real cleanli ness. After that she is of a different opinion. She may not be able to take Turkish baths constantly or even often, but she will come as near them, in the way ol making herself clean, aa she can possibly manage. Not eyery woman can stand the reg ulation Turkish or Russian bath?,with their hot air, their steam rooms, their hot massage and cold spray or plunge afterwards. The home-made imitation of such baths eyen is sometimes too much for them. Unless they are sure of themselves it is not worth while to put good money into a Turkish bath cabinet or even to compass a home made version with a packing box and a little ingenunity. Instead, they may seek substitutes in a simple fashion. The most elementary Turkish bath is made by wrapping the bather in a sheet and seating her on a cane bottom chair under which is a shallow tin of hot water set over an alcohol lamp. This lamp should be of the sort that has an asbestos burner protected by a wire netting. After the bather is seat ed, a heavy blanket should be wrapped around her and the chair, and she should sit thus until she is in a drench ing perspiration. When this point is reached she should get at once into a tubot warm water, scour herself well with a flesh brush, so as to remove the matter that the perspiration has wash ed out cn the skin, and after this she should try the tonic effect ot a cold spray, unless she prefers the cold plunge. If she does not possess a spray she should dash water over her body from a pitcher. Then comes a good rub down with a rough towel,.and a half hour's rest. Such a bath is advantageous to near ly every one and especially to the wo man who has a poor complexion which is the result of Imperfect circulation. The chief objection to this bath in the minds of busy women will be the length ot time it demands. When a woman has stimulated her skin to. act ton by vigorous and healthful exercise and has thus provoked a flow ot per spiration she does not need the prelim inary session over hot water. The bath in the tub, howeyer, with the cold epray to follow is an essential after vi olent exercise. Let it be supposed, for instance, that a woman has been out on her wheel . If she is an an active rider she has un doubtedly achieved the perspiration and with it a degree of exhilaration that the retirement in the company of a a blanket and an alcohol lamp would never bring about. Some one has called an up-to-date chainless bicy cle a zeal inspiring wheel for women The girl or woman who has been out for a spin on a machine that is made in such a fashion that she can come home with her skirt in as good a condition as when she started as can be done Cures Grip in Two Days, on every srxjn box. 25c LT Praise Pe-ru-na as a Mrs.M.J. Brink FIRST STAGEOF CATARRH. A Sericus Mistake Which Thou sands Are Making. The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as " catching cold." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or it may be so slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business. In per haps a majority of cases little or no at tention is paid to the first stage of ca tarrh, and hence it is that nearly one half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form, To neglect a cold is to invite chronic CRtarrh. As soon as any one discovers the first symptoms of catching cold he should at once begin the use of Peruna with the right sort of a bicycle does not shrink from the amount of time she will have to devote to her bath as she would if she knew a dirty and stained frock; was awaiting her atten tion. No matter how heated the rider may be she should never make the mistake of using cold water the first thing after a ride. In tact, it is very bard to get clean by the uae of cold water alone, even when accompanied by hard bub bing. It is true that the exercise has opened the pores and that a great quan tity of effete matter has been sluiced out with the perspiration. But the dash of cold water shuts the pores with a snap and whatever matter is left there is enclosed, to be re-absorbed by the body. So the first plunge must be into warm water. The soaking feels grate ful after the tension of the exercise, and the relaxation of the muscles is likely to tempt any one to remain too long in the tub. But the time for let ting oneself go is not yet. There must first be a vigorous rubbing either with a flesh brush or with a rough cloth or with a bath mitten of Turkish towel ing or .some such material. This is perhaps best, since the hand thus cov ered goes over the whole body with an energy it cannot gain when holding a washcloth. The use of soap is open to discussion. It is generally taken as a matter of course and yet I haye known compe tent physicians who claimed that it did no good. The skin that has first been stimulated, ad by the bicycle, horseback ride or sjme other yigorous exercise, and then coaxed into more work by the application of warm water does not need soap in order to make it clean. The rubbing I have describ ed will suffice for that. The waste mat ter is removed by the friction without the use of soap. Yet there is no ob- I jection to this if a good, plain toilet soap is used one that is not highly perfumed or too drying in its effect. Every bit of this should bo washed from the skin before the cold spray is used to close the pores and brace th& system alter the relaxation of the warm tub. The cold spray seems a rather heroic Continued on fourth psge. ASTORIA.

Unles3 this is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of ca tarrh, which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an un known disease. Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. gj Basset, street, Albany, N. Y., writes: "I have always dreaded unsettled weather because of my extreme liability to catch cold, when a catarrhal trouble would quiclsly develop through my entire sys tem, which it would take weeks to drive avr ay. I am thankful to say that since I have taken PEHTJNA I do not have any reason to dread thla anymore. If I have been at al! exposed to the damp, wet or cold weather, I take a dose or two of PERUNA, and it throws out any hint of sickness from my system." Miss Eliza beth Uber. Mrs. M. J. Brink, No. 820 Michigan avenue, St. Joseph, Mich., writes: "This past winter during tho wet and cold weather I caught a sudden and severe cold, which developed a catarrhal condition through my entire system, and so affected my general health that I was completely broken down, and became nervous and hysterical and unfit to supervise my home.

It Is doubly interesting to any on9 who has spent a few days in the land in which thejsong has made immortal, and especi ally to one who has enjoyed the hospital ity of the Lauriejfamily at the Terregles farm, in Maxwellton, near Dumfries. Annie Laurie was no myth. About two hundred years ago Sir Robert Lau rie, of Maxwellton, on the opposite side of the River Nith from Dumfries, Scotland, quaintly wrote in his family register iheje words : "At the pleas ure of the almighty God, my daughter, Annie Laurie, was born on the 16th day of December, 1682, about six o'clock in the morning, and was bap tized by Mr. George Hunter, of G!en cairne." Annie's mother was Jean Eifidle, to whom Robert was married "upon the 27th day of July, 1674, at the True Kirk, Edinburgh, by Mr. An nane," as was also recorded by her fath- fer himself. Posterity owes to Mr. William Douglas, of England, in Kirk endbrightshire(who wooed, but did not win, the capricious Annie), the sons of "Bonnie Annie Laurie," wherein he celebrated the beauty and traoscend ant perfection of the maid of Maxwell ton. Poetic justice would have required that Annie should have rewarded with her hand the poet lover, who was de termined to make her name immortal ; but, as it transpired, she preferred an other and a richer suitor, Mr. Alex ander Ferguson, of Craigdarrocb, and hiai she married. The William Doug las named ia supposed to be the origin of the song "Willie Was a Wanton Wag," and it is related of him that, af ter having been refused by Annie Lau rie, he married a Miss Elizabeth Clark, A FAVORITE REMEDY FOR BABIES.
