C., TUESDAY, THE DAY OF ENLIGHTENMENT Never before in the hUtory of this good old State has so much attention been given to education—to the bnfcineas of learning things. Book* are bought and studied and owned as never before. How important a part do they perform in our education I From them in lisping childhood we learn the wonderful alphabet, and through all after life thjtae gentle friends add to our wisdom and our pleasure *■ long as we take delight in their companionship. And, it may be safely remarked, the degree of refinement in any home may be measured by the attitude that home maintains toward books. Refinement, you know, is a very gentle quality that may dwell alike in the humblest cottage or the proudest palatial home. In neither, however, may its presence be suspected if the books therein are maltreated, neglected, or left to any evil fate that may over take them. But iu either, the orderly and respectful care given to the books of the household is an unfailing mark not only of tidy housekeeping but of a certain degree of culture and refinement. And if the books ere handsomely shelved in the modem sec tional book cases, wbat more could house-keeper or book-lover de sire? These sectional shelves with disappearing glass doors are the book cases of the present and the future. The old kind be longs to days tbst are past and gone. We’want Thh Gazette's readers to know all abont the wuu Sectional Book-Cases which we handle. And by reading of them here, we hope you will be induced to come and see them tor yourself. They consist of THREE SEPARATE PARTS. Here they ere: Base, Book Section, and Tojp. The book section 4>r shelf u enclosed ex cept at the top, and has a glass door. The door may be oiteued outward by the little knob and pnsbcd back above the books. The top, base, and sections all fit in their proper places with out any knocking, banging, nailing or screwdriving; a little girl can put them together as easily ai building blocks. Now bring these THREE PARTS TOGETHER that, and yon have the begin ning* of shelf-room for a large private library. Raise op the glass door and slide it back at tha top and the shelf is open to receive your books. Place them on the shelf, close the door, and there yonr books are, easy to see, easy to get, and protected from dost and dampness. Now, yoa need not have more shelves than books—no empty shelves, no scattered books—your book case grows as your library grows. The Y. E. sec tions build together one upon the other and end to end like bricks in a wall, until you have housed your books from floor to ceiling around the entire room. FOUR STYLES. SEVEN SIZES. The Y. A B. are mad* la four styles: (1) Plain Oak, (2) Quartered Oak, (3) Birch Mahogany, and (4) solid Mahogany—all bearing a superbly finished surface. The Solid Mahogany costs HO per section; the others from $2-30 to *5.50 per section. * There are seven sisea, to accommodate the varying dimensions of books. PRICES. . Wc can give you an Idas. -Taka die first illustration, and this is what it will eost in plain oak: Top HJO, Bast H-50, Book Section,$2 50; Total, $5-50. That's h start. You can add another "hell far only $2.50 and double roar book space. Five shelves ($12-50) with base and top ($3.00) wilt make a pretty book-case in deed with a shell capacity of 160 inches. The section quoted is the amdBest sise, but it is amply large tobold a volume 8x9 inches— pretty big book, you see. For each }iap hi sise add 25 cents to price of tne one below. ' Quartered Oak and Birch Mahogany cost only SO cents per section more thaa the Plain Oak. The solid Mahogany, very rich and attractive, costs $10 to $13 per section.

Lord Bacon said that children are hostages to fortune and im pediments to great enterprise. Ha had none to trouble him and ab doubt found more lime to study and become a great man, but his philosophical attain men ta did not save him from disgrace. Perhaps some children would have saved him, even though the world would have lost his philosophy. Shakespeare bad bat one son, sad be died in early youth and the family name be came extinct la the second gen eration. Neither Dr. Johnson nor Charles Lamb nor Hood nor Tom Moore left children, and Burns only two. Sir Isaac Newton was never married, nor was Pope or Goldsmith or Whit field. Byron bad one child, a daughter. Calvin married a widow with four children, but died without any of his own. John Wesley married a widow, but she ran away from him three time*. The Last time be wouldn't let her come back, but wrote: "I did not forsake her; I did not expel her: I will not recall her.” Martin Luther married a non, aa he said: "To please his father and tease the pope and vex the devil.” 1 have noticed in my reading that almost all the great thinkers, philosophers and the statesmen died childless or left but one or two children. Washington had none, nor General Jackson nor Popp. Pierce bad only two, but thev died before be did. Neither Jefferson nor-Moore left any son. Webster left one. He was killed at Ball Run, and the fanjily name dropped out. John Randolph was never married, ana rope ten no enuaren. Neither Tombs nor Governor Troop left any son. and Alex ander Stephens was never married. Dr. Miller died child less and the family name dropped out. There is some thing sad and melancholly in noting the dropping ont of a noble family name for lack of children. Now it fa more than probable that these great men wonld not have acquired fame or left to mankind the benefit of their great achievements if numerous children had been born to them and they had to scuffle to maintain ana educate them. If a father does his duty to'his children, he will hardly have time to acquire either fame or fortune. We know from ex perience at our house that it is an anxious, earnest struggle to raise ten children in a way that will make them love ns and love home and cherish the memories of their youthfnl days. It is sad for a man or a woman to have to look back to a hard unhappy childhood. Bnt which la best for a man—children or great enterprises? The one is a com pliance with nature and the divine law—the other a grati fication of man’s selfish ambition. The proper railing of a family of children is the biggest thing in this life. In many cases marriages are anhappr and the; children a curse, but there is no good excuse for the average man not seeking a mate. Of coarse there are exceptions, bnt the universal law is that woman waa created for man and that her bighe* duty is to be a mother to his children. No wife is happy without children. But I don't believe in twenty two children in one family. Ten are enough. II the number could be regulated, I would aay that six or eight would be a good average, but we have nooe to spare at our house. One child is better than none, but if that one be lost there is none to cling to or cere as and the home is desolate. The child is apt to be spoiled and selfish. The beat thing for a lone boy who is over indulged at home is to send him to school early end let him get a licking now end then from other boys until be leans to give and take. Two bora are far better than one, for they can be com panions and help one another. Two daughters arc better than one, for they 9an.counsel each other and go around and visit together and keep each other’s little secrets. A numerous flock of children strengthens the family and makes it more respectable in the community. It makes it strong and influential in the church and Sabbath school. By and by the children get married and that brings in mote strength to the family. Then again there is economy in it, for the good motherfcan hand down many of the garments of the older ones to the younger. If the outside ones are too much worn, there are lots of little pettycoata and drawers and out Eown pants that come in handy. y wife says these "hand downs.” as she calls them, have saved her many a weary stitch. I know a littc grandson who is now wearing a nice suit made of a discarded cloak of mipe. Another advantage is that the older ones can help the younger in tbeir lessons, and this nos saved my wife and I lots of time and perplexing care. And so although the oldest boy or girl gets no hand-downs but has every garment span new, they have to help the younger ones in various ways, even to nursing the baby when the mother is sick or busy. There is no law of primogeniture in this country. No English law that gives the paternal estate to the first born, but all have to share and share alike and contribute to the family welfare. Prom my window I see my neighbor’s boys working tke garden, and thev have a good one and take a pride in it. They find ample time to go to school and to play ball, bnt will not neglect the garden. nut aias: there it a shadow over every large family. The time will surely come when it will be broken up—either by marriage of the children or em igration of the boy* to some distant region. When they leave ns for good the father fa tad and the mother's eyes are often dimmed with tears. For two years we have not seen our youngest boy, who cate bis fortunes with a companion in the City of Mexico. But he is com ing soon and the mother is wait ing, hopefully and prayerfully waiting. We have one in New York, one in Teui and one in Florida, but they are good to write to ns and ebeer ns up, and there is no blight or cloud over them. What • comfort there is In good loving letters from far oft children. A rood mother writes me that her married daughter Uvea in Australia and her monthly letters are her greatest blessing. 1 know of nothing that "pays such good dividends upon its cost as a loving letter from aa absent child or from a far off friend. Only « little spare time and 2 cents will bring plesAtre that money cannot boy—mors than ever bevel noticed this since I hey* ban sick. Even the sym pathetic letters from unknown friends have brought me comfort. I wish that I could answer them all and say, as Paul said to Timothy, "See how long a letter 1 have written to yon with mine own band." P.

Tha SsfHM Cant Balia That Practice al Osteopathy la Rat tha Practice af Naithi aai Swrgery UfiO The Supreme Court on yester day handed down a number of opinions, tha only case of any public Interest being that of the the State against Me Knight, from Moore county. In this case the court bolds tut thou was no error below, thereby sustaining McKnight in his contention that ha could not be stopped (tom tha practice of osteopathy. McKnight, it will be remem bered, gained considerable noto riety at High Point and in Greens boro some time ago. Subse quently he weat to Southern Pines where be opened an office and advertised himself as a "doc tor" for the practice of osteopa thy. which he represented to be the treatment of diseases without drugs, medicine or surgery. Sub sequently be was arrested for practicing medicine without 1U cense and it was this case which came up to the Supreme Court on appeal of counsel tor the State, McKnight having won the case In the lower court. Then, too, when the case came up last week before the Supreme Court for ar gument McKnight made his own argument before the court, there by adding considerable novelty to the proceedings. The opinion of the court, giv ing McKnight the victory in mis unusual suit, was written by Justice Clark and foetal as a Dumber of interesting features. In making his defense Me Knight defined the practice of osteopathy to be the manipula tion, kneading and rubbing the body of the patient, the applica tion of hot or cold baths and the prescribing of rules of diet. It was also set out that he. when occasion demanded, nsed hypno tism. In writing the opinion Judge Clark makes the following very interesting comment? "Certainly baths sod dieting could be advantageously pre scribed to many people, and It is< not clear that 'robbing the body* Is harmful. Doubtless there la an appeal to the imagination but that is a necessary ingredient in all systems of healing. Who does not know that a prescrip tion by s physician in whom the patient has implicit confidence is oftentimes more effective than the same treatment by one in whom he has none, and that at times bread pills and other harmless prescriptions are administered with good respite. "The aim of medical science, now probably the most progres sive of all the professions, is simply to ‘assist nature.' Osteopathy proposes to do that by other methods than by the use of medicine*, or the surgeon's knife. If the Gen eral Assembly shall deem osteopathy a legitimate call ing It may see fit, possibly to protect educated and skilled practioners by requiring an ex amination and license by licensed osteopaths of applicants for license, but certainly the exami nation would be on rab}ecU ap propriate to secure competency therein, and not an entirely different course such as that prescribed for applicants to prac tice medicine and surgery. In concluding the opinion Jus tied Clark says: "All that the courts can de clare is that the practice of osteopathy is not the practice of medicine or surgery, and no license from the medical hoard at examiners is regnired.” Wwnlt, When the portals of the public conscience are opened to troth. Democracy triumphs. When greed usurps the scepter of cani ty, then imperialism, wearing the mantle of the Republican party, devours the anbetance of the nation.
