"I feel so grateful for what Dr. Miles' Re storative Nervine has done for me that I must tell it for that part of humanity that sufters as I have. During the three years I suffered from nervous prostration I found no relief except when doctors gave morphine. To get rid of suffering I took morphine my self as it was the only thing that would give ease, and now you, who point with scorn at morphine using, how could you, when in such agony, knowing it about the only thing that would give relief, resist it?

Bright's disease can be cured. He says that he has effected a number of cures himself by a certain treatment through which he treats the kidneys directly. Of course such treatment must be resorted to In the early stages of the disease. And equally as astounding is the declaration that leprosy has been cured in the leper's home in New Orleans. With cures of Bright's disease and leprosy, we might hope that after a while there will be no incurables at all. tttt Some of the brethren of the press recently have become interested in the "split infinitive" and the Charlotte on anything But How About "Shall' and "Will"? tive" is the boldness of an adverb breaking in between the preposition "to" and its verb, as for instance, "to bravely dare". The Raleigh Times takes it up; but does not the latter mix "shall" and "will" a little in the following? "If it requires the split infinitive, split it ; if the unsplit is better, why use it that way. This is the way we shall conduct this shop. In the meantime we will, in all matters of this sort, be governed by the decision of W. F. Marshall, of Gastonia. He is our umpire." t t t t It turns out that those who have formerly taken ocean trips in the hope of getting away from the excitement of the daily news drift, are doomed to Wonders of Wirtiess Telegraphy. readers in mid-ocean the happenings in the world of war, commerce and enterprise just as if they had been on land. Such are the marvels and tri umphs of wireless telegraphy. We may not wonder at whatever may be accomplished in the future. Some one said to us recently that he looks for the time when one who calls up another at the other end of a telephone line will have the photograph of the person thus called up flash before him, and thus persons who talk miles and miles apart will look into each other's faces while they talk. t t it As much as men appreciate the admiration of women, one would think that men would study this matter more philosophically than they do. Dr. The Kind of Men Wo men Admire. speech and purity of life. And it Is intensely true, but many men think and speak as if it were not, or as if they care nothing for the admiration of women. Some men delude themselves with the idea that women admire them, when the truth is the women only tolerate them. Nothing should make a man think more of existence than the consciousness that he is ad mired by pure and noble women. And nothing should so tone a man up to the purest life of which he is capable than the deep-seated desire to en joy the admiration of good women. Effort on the part of men to merit the admiration that good women bestow upon them is a great stimulus to wards lifting society upon a high plane of life. t t t t Improvements perhaps will never cease. They are multiplying all the while in every field and phase of human thought and human endeavor. The Printing Telegraph. The Youth's Companion recently had this to say : "The use of the printing telegraph in Berlin is to be extended to direct mutual communication between subscribers, thus performing the same work as that of the telephone. Its advocates say that it has several ad vantages over the telephone, two of which are that there can be no misun derstanding of messages and no oyerhearlng of communications by out side parties. The apparatus consists essentially of two typewriters connect ed with a telegraphic system, each oi which may be used alternately as re ceiver or sender. The messages are printed simultaneously on a tape at both ends of the line, and thus may be sent and left on record in the ab eence ot the subscriber at the receiving end." t t t t While rapid strides are being made in all other forms ot progress, let no one suppose that like strides are not being made in politics. It has been given out that in the Democratic State Conven- To Vote or Not to Vote? tUm in Greensboro thi8 week Mr Alex. T. FieId of Raleigfa,will offer a resolution to the effect that the platform of principles of the Democratic party in North Carolina embody the following : "In order that we may have a government of the people, for the people, and by the people, in its highest and best sense, we are in favor of legal izing primaries, and of enacting a mild compulsory law, not burdensome, but sufficient to secure a general participation, not only in the elections, but also in the political primaries, by those entitled to exercise the elec tive franchise." No man who properly considers the responsibilities of citizenship will question the fact that it is the duty of every man to take a reasonable in terest in the political affairs of bis community ; but we question the wis dom of any effort to compel any one to exercise a privilege which he has been taught from the beginning to regard as a matter which is to be left entirely to his own choice.

' Sunday-School Excursionists Lost in the Beep, Just a week ago a Sunday-school ex cursion was lost in the deep at New York. Following is the horrible de tail : The excursion was in charge of Rev. George C. F.Haas.pastor of the church. The vessel was commanded by Captain William Van Schaik, one ot the best known excursion boat captains in New York harbor. He has commanded the General Slocum for almost the entire time sinee she was built in 1891. The number of excursionists on board to day is variously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000, but according to an offi cial statement issued by the Knicker bocker Steamboat Company, owners of the Slocum, the number of passengers was 873, that being one-third oi the vessel's licensed capacity. The steamer after leaving her dock this morning, proceeded up the East river, all three of her decks being crowded with merry-makers. Bands piayeu, ana tne great siae-wneeier was decorated with flags from stem to stern The scene on the decks of the steam er as she proceeded up the East river was one of merry-making, customary on such occasions. The mass of flags fluttered in the June breeze, the bands were playing and tn children were singing, dancing and waving their handkerchiefs and flags in answer to salutations of those on shore or from passing steamers. At the extreme eastern end of Ran dall's Island, off 135th street there is a stretch of water known as the Sunken meadows. At this point, just as crowds were watching the gaily decorated steamer from shore, the General Slo cum took fire, and as the age oi the vessel she was built in 1891 had resulted in the well seasoning of the woodwork, with which she was al most entirely built, she wis soon a mass of flames. The fire Is said, to have broken out in a" lunch room on the forward deck through the overturn ing of a pot of grease. The wind was high and all efforts to subdue the fire weie futile. At 134th street there are several lum ber yards and oil tanks, and as Captain William Van Schaik, in command of the General Slocum, started to turn his vessel towards tbeBhore there, he was warned that it would set fire to the lumber and oil, bo he changed his course for North Brother Island, one ot twin islands near the entrance of the'sound some half a mile away .where the boat partially burned was beached. She sank near this place at" 12:15 o'clock this afternoon, two hours and twenty-five minutes after the fire was discovered. In the meantime the passengers had become panic-stricken and those who were not caught by the 'flames rushed to the rear of the vessel and hundreds jumped overboard into the swiftly-running waters. It is alleged that the life preservers were too securely fasten ed to their holdings to be available,and stories are told of frantic efforts made by strong men to cut them loose, but eyen if they eould have been torn down, they were too high up for the children to reach. It is also alleged that no attempt was made to get out the fire apparatus at the first cry of "fire," though Captain Van Scbaiks says that he immediately rang the bells for getting oat the apparatus. Ac cording to several statements, no at tempt was made to lower boats or life rafts. Captain Van Schaick and his two pilots, Edward Van' Warl and E. M, Weaver, have been arrested. FIRE BREAKS OUT ON FORWARD DECK. The Slocum had reached a point near the Sunken Meadows, off 135th street, Manhattan, which is at the ex treme eastern end of Randall's Island, when fire broke out in a lunch room on the forward deck. The blaze was caused by the overturning of a pot of grease. The headway of the vessel and a high wind almost instantly fanned the insignificant flame Into tury. Ef forts were at once directed to subduing the fire, but they were futile. The blaze spread alt with almost lightning rapidity. Captain Van Schaick, in the pilot house, had been informed of the outbreak ot the fire, and realizing the danger to the hundreds of excursion ists, decided to send his vessel to shore at 134th street.

Whitehead ft Co., Druggists. eg Copyright, :9o4i by CARISTINE TERHUNE HERRICK. rT,HE time seems to have come when American women have to be taught how to rest. They have learn ed nearly everything elsej bat resting is something a good many of them have never had time to acquire. There is a saying that Providence looks after the lame and the lazy. The implication is, apparently, that the healthy and the Industrious know bow to take care of themselves. The fact remains, however, that they seldom do. They go until they drop and never seem to have the least idea that they are overdoing until they give out en tirely. One of the first things to be learned about resting is that it is like some other remedies for the ills of this life. It is wdrtli twice AS much if taken at an early stage as it is il delayed until the disease has had time to gain ground. The true philosophy of resting is to rest before one is really tired. To know when to stop is as important a part of life's schooling as to learn where to be gin. Indeed, the beginning often pre sents itself, while the stopping place requires searching for. Our Puritan conscience, in so many lines a boon, in so many others a bane, Is one of the obstacles in the way oi stopping in time. The average busy woman who wants to rest, feels just be cause it would be an agreeable sensa tion, that it must somehow be wrong. She will make sure that she is as tired as she can be before she lays aside her work and takes the few moments' re pose she may need. But by the time she comes to that stage she is at a pe riod ot fatigue when a few moments' rest will do little for her. tier brat fancied economy was a mistake, and she Is paying for it, as one does for all mistakes. I nave spoken before in these col umns of the barm done by the Puritan conscience. Its effect in making the earnest woman scourge herself into over-work is perhaps one of its worst effects. There are many women who need to struggle to attain a state of saving unconscientiousness. Had they this, perhaps they might know how to rest without making a special study of it. Said a young man the other day, iu mm v . a my bearing, "i wouldn't naye my mother's conscience for anything." "Your mother's conscience !" I said. Why? Sie is one of the beat women in the world. What can she have on her conscience ?" "Running sores !" returned the youth promptly. "She has punched it and pricked it so often that it is in a dread ful condition. Mine is just a comfort able callous !" If more women could establish a "comfortable callous" in their con sciences it would be better for them, and one may add, for those about them. AH parties concerned would have more chance to rest. Or, what might be better still would be for the women to learn to apply their con scientiousness to the rest problem. How many busy women make a point of taking a little nap every after noon? Nature seems to indicate the advisability of this by making most persons sleepy immediately after the mid-day meal. While the process of digestion is going on there should be a temporary cessation of work. A rest of fifteen minutes or half an hour pays for Itself before the day is out. The woman should go off by herself, loosen any tight clothing she may be wearing, stretch out on a couch, in a darkened DRIVEN TO DESPERATION.

If she is nervous and excited she would do Well to have some book dI mild inter est at band In which she can read for ten of the thirty minutes she has allotted bers3lf. This will cairn her and fit her for the sleep or rest she Is trying to take. But this is not all she requires. A woman cannot rest simply by stopping work and staying in the bouse. She needs a great deal more than that. She needs to get out of the bouse, and when she goes out she must do something that is good for her. Active exercise Is as much a desideratum of rest an1 absolute repose. The woman who rides a wheel ought never to get really tired. For I do not call it getting tired to have a sengatiotl of healthy weariness in limb and muscle. That is the sort of thing that brings sleep and rest. It is not in the least like the jaded sensation that comes over the woman who has toiled at her household duties all day or who has sat at her sewing until her back and eyes aod fingers ache. Any one who has once known the joys ot the road on a good wheel will not tarry in ans wering when atked it there is any dif ference between the two kinds ot fatigue. So the woman who wishes to learn how to rest must exercise in the open air. I have spoken of riding a wheel, be cause that seems to combine a maxi mum of exercises and of interest with a minimum of bother. The woman who rides a good easiness wheel with the proper sort of appurtenances In the way of skirt guard and the like, has no toilsome business of wheel and frock cleansing awaiting her when she gets home. She goes out with an easy mind) Instead ot being tired before she starts by the thought of the unpleas ant task that awaits her when she comes home and whose anticipation takes the edge off her enjoyment. But if a woman cannot ride a wheel, for any reason, and the good reasons against almost any woman doing it seem to be growing small by degrees and beautifully less, as the revival of the wheel goes on, she must not on that account stay at home, let her do something else, walk, tennis, golt. Only let ber do something and do it ont of doors and do it every day, wea ther permitting. Here then are two essentials ol rest, repose and outdoor exercise. There are others. One among them is a pet recreation. Women used to find this ort of thing in embroidery and worsted work. There are some women who d thst even now. Others seek It in basketry, and while the uninitiated may not be able to comprehend the joys ol this particular form of employment, it is a fact that there are many who revel in it. There are others who do bead work and others still who have' some one of the many crafts that have drifted into Ell.
