"When any duty is to be done, it is fortunate for you iJE" you feel like doing it; but if you do not feel like it, that is no reason for not doing it." Indifference to the rights and wishes of others is a national fault. If any doubt this statement let them enter the dry goods establishments in large cities and attempt the smallest purchase. From the moment of being loftily waved to uncertain labyrinths for the airticle sought, till the flippant serving girl has reached a place in her conversation with a sister clerk, where she can afford to re? turn "the change" that has been thrice too long waited for, the whole atmos? phere of that place is characterized by an indifference that i& profound, These "cash" boys, waiting girls, and thousands of other boys and girls outside the shops similarly afflicted with- the indifferent contagion, will grow up and constitute a great proportion of the men and women of the future. When, where, and by what influences are they to he converted from this exasperating indifference, that amounts to practical discourtesy to others ? Most of the girls have finished their school days ; the boys may have a good deal of time in school yet. It clearly comes back to the "ounce of prevention" taken in early training as the only remedy to antidote this poison of careless indifference that is an active poison in American blood. Whether this unbecoming disregard to others is one of the resulting evils of the froe-and equalism of a republic cannot now be discussed; but it is safe to asse:rt that every vestige of it should be stamped out in the public schools as vigorously as the beginnings of a prairie fire. Teachers who are at a loss what the teaching of "ethics" may mean, or where to begin to inculcate moral principles, need hesitate no longer. Here is a field large enough for the army of American teachers to work in all at the Bame time and never cross each other.?Scliool Journal. VACATION PREPARATION. Preparation for teaching is needed to achieve success. The minister, doctor, and lawyer havs it, so must the teacher. Tired and worn out as we are when clos? ing the school-room door, it seems if the burden is greater than we can bear. But do we not make it heavier by doing much of our work- at the wrong time. Every successful farmer during his leis? ure is making "preparation" for his sum mer's work. He enlarges his wood pile, sees to it that hin mower, reaper, and other machines, his tools and imple? ments, are repaired. Nor is this all, hav? ing done everything possible he then "sets to work," and thinks, "Had I better put potatoes in the corner lot?" "Do I not need more lime on my farm ?" "Will I get a better yield by drilling my wheat?" His plans thought out, his little repairs completed, he proceeds to work. Would his work have been any lighter, or done any better bad he rested, by doing noth? ing, from December to March ? Haven't we leisure time when "our" planning may be done? We have?our summer vacation. We have no minutes in the school-room for wasted efforts. Then, too, it is so hard to plan while teaching. The vitiated air, pretty annoyances, and amount of work are hindrances hard to overcome. But how changed everything seems when God's fresh air and bright sunshine are doing better work than the doctors. And since our vacation thoughts are our best thoughts, would it not be a good idea to put them on paper, and like the prudent housewife, find ourselves with a good stock of "preserves," on hand? True, we may not have use for all, but far better to have more than enough, than less. Thoughts on paper, like preserves, "well done up" will keep. Preparation is needed for that upon which activity, obedience and love for the Bchool depend, viz: busy work. Let us for this, plan thoughtfully, liberally aud well. Vacation is a good time to prepare cards, "busy-programs" and nu? merous other kinds of "desk" work, many of which may be thought of, many of j which may bo taken from the Institute or the School Journal. Preparation for tbe child out of the school-room. At noon, recess, on the play-ground, This muBt not be over? looked, as the majority of troubles come during play hours, Preparation of the teacher. Much might be said here, but in whatever way we choose to fit ourselves for the work let U9 sec to it that we enter the school? room this fall, cheerful and feeling like work. Wholesome food and plenty of exercise in the open air will do much in this direction. There are three reasons why we should prepare. I. Having such a large bank account from which he may d;raw at any time, gives a consciousness of power so necessary in the school-room. II. Allowing the teacher time for thought, concentration of force, and dis? cipline, is highly productive of reBuItB. III. It aave? time, giving the teacher a chance to prepare for his profession by study, which can not very well be done when the time is mostly taken up in planning for the school.? E. II.

Atlanta Constitution. "Fret not thyself because of evil doers." The philosophic mind should always be calm and serene, though in these dog-days it is right hard to be composed when Si? rius is exhaling his malignant influences and the bad spirits are filling the air and hatching discord among min. Paracel? sus saya the air is not so full of flies in August as it is with invisible devils. But I know some that are visible, and the Jewish Talmud saya they did not descend from Eve, but that Adam had another wife called Lilis, and of her nothing was born but devils, find they overrun the country until the flood. How they dodg? ed the deluge the Talmud does not tell ua, but I reckon some of them had boats of their own. Certain it is that the germ of malignity was not altogether de? stroyed, and it haB multiplied and replenished like bacteria, and has im? pregnated the souls of human kind to an alarming extent The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. I was ruminating about this because I had just received a paper from Hutchin? son, Kansas, called the Interior Herald, which seems to be the malignant repub? lican organ of that region, and its editor came straight down from Madam Lilis, I reckon, and is quite proud of his pedigree. One of my random letters about pensions was his text?one of my mild, good-tem? pered, harmonizing letters that I thought would find a tender spot in the northern heart, for I was asking for pensions for our Confederate widows; but it seems to I have disturbed his tranquility, and he gnasheth upon us with bis teeth, and givea my letter great big double column head lines, and then goes to using lan? guage upon us with malice aforethought. He is mad because we build monuments and decorate graves and make speeches and put into requisition "rivers of oratory and clouds and waves and cyclones of eloquence to laud the cause and the rebels and Jeff Davis, a murdering, thieving old rebel and traitor." His liver seems to be inflamed because some of the northern republicans are crying out, "forget and forgive." "Let byegones be byegones," and he says they are in line following after Polk and Livingston and Terrell, who once led the rebels, and that "if justice had been done, every murdering rebel would have been hung." Good gracious I what a sight of rope it would have taken. I'll bet this Herald man would have got np a corner on jute. Well, of course, all that sort of talk would be funny and fantastic if Hutch? inson wasn't a right smart town of 8,000 people, and this paper the lead ing paper in it. What an editor says nowadays is of bufclittle consequence if it expressed his individual opinion ; but as a general rule the editor does not lead the people?he follows them?and so it looks bad to see tbe sign of so much hate and venom still existing among our Western brethren. But certain it is that some of his subscribers have put off the red shirt and put on a white one and sworn off from the party, and that is what is the matter. I thought that all these sentimental questions were settled, and that it was generally agreed that we might love and honor our dead and build monuments and throw flowers and have reunions and hurrah for our Bide, considering that nothing but sentiment waB left us. If a big boy whips a little boy he ought to be willing for the little fellow to cry some and shake bis fist and threaten?many a schoolboy has vowed to whip the teacher when he got to.be a man. That is about all we are doing?when we get grown we will lick you. See if we don't. We'll do it anyhow if you'll walk outside the cor? poration. I'll bet the editor of the Herald never waB in the war or he wouldn't talk so big about hanging un. I'll bet he im? posed on little boys at school and fudged when he played marbles. He is in a perfect rage about that Confederate mon? ument at Jackson, Miss?wish he would go down there and talk like he writes. He says that a northern man is not Bafe down south and "is in danger of assassination or open brutal murder unless he pro? claims his love for the lost cause and its treason." That is the same old lie that haB been denounced a hundred times by northern republicans who live here, but it is no lie as far as the editor of the Herald is concerned. He wouldn't be safe. His old carcass wouldn't hold Bhucks by the time he got off the depot platform?our boys can stand Blander and lies afar off, but a man must not bring it to them. So let Mr. Herald stay at home and shinney on his own side and we will send some missionaries up there soon aB we can. We have no language litten to use on him. He can consider himself called all the appropriate things that Falstaff called Prioce Hal and Prince Hal called Falstaff. We've got to send missionaries up north or the devil will get moro than his share of the people. Boston seems to be his headquarters right now. Mr. Fields Bays in his last Evangelist that a ship has just sailed from Boston with a cargo of sixty thousand dollars' worth of rum for the negroes in Africa. Ho saya the rum traffic between Boston and Africa from July 1889 to July 1890, was $G5G, 000, and from July 1890 to July 1S91, was $1,223,889, which is nearly double the year before. He says that one of the most forcible preachers in Boston assert? ed recently in his pulpit that the mer? chants engaged iu this business were New England men, and were members oi Christian churches, and his assertion has not been contradicted. Mr. Fields says: "This traffic is as disgraceful to humani? ty as is the slave trade, against which we are fond of protesting. It is carried on not by ignorant Arabs, but by cultured Bo9touians. How long shall the Church go on spending money and invaluable lives for the Christianizing of Africa, and at the same time shutting its eyes to the demonizing of this country by the rum traffic?" This is a conundrum that we can't an? swer. It has been long since demooBtra ted that New England cared nothing foi the negro. Old England won't stop tlii I traffic in opium with the Chinese. Neitne? tfill New England stop selling ram to the negro as iong aa there is mon? ey in it. Five hundred dollars a year to the Church will hide many a barrel in the hold of a vessel. Eev. Joe Cook de? nounced Henry Grady and his speech in Boston, because he told the truth about the negro, and Cook was cheered to the enscre, and he coasted that what he said would be published in over two thousand northern papers', and tfoflld be believed wherever read, and all of Mr. ?r^/a clap-trap would go for naught. That is the kind of reception that Hev. Cook gave Henry Grady's overture for peace. And Eev. Theodore Cuyler says that Eev. Cook is a great and good man, and he has lately enjoyed his companionship immensely. And so I am done with Cook and Cuyler, too. t have no respect for a man who companions with a man who denounced Grady's Boston speech, and keeps on denouncing us for what we didn't do. Eev. Cuyler wouldn't have denounced it, but I am afraid he would hire a man to do his cursing. I saw in your paper not long aince a communication signed H. M. D., that proposes to knock all tho romance out of Captain John Smith and Focahontas. 'He seems to have been traveling up the James Eiver with Colonel George, and Colonel George told him that his great grand-mother told him that Pocahontas was not her name, but it was Tetehee, and she was not a daughter of Fowhatan ; that she fell in love with Homer Cas talwain, a white man, and this made her Indian lover Bankee mad, and one day while 8he was gathering corn lie and his followers seized her and carried her away to his tribe. Castalwain appealed to Captain John Smith for aid to recover his girl, and Smith got old Fowhatan to lend him some of his warriors, and they made a raid and recaptured the maid and Bankee, too, and Powbatan ordered Ban? kee to have his brains beaten out with a club, and just as the club was raised to strike the blow Tetehee threw herself in the way and saved his life?not from love, but from pity?and she soon after married Homer Castalwain, and this old farmer who tells the story is her last living de? scendant. Well, now it is all wrong to try to spoil the old-time honored story?a story made sacred by the traditions of our fathers, but fortunately it cannot be done in this way, for we still have preserved the col? onial history of Virginia, written in 1624, and Captain Smith himself writes the story of PocahontaB and calta her "King Powhatan's dearest daughter," and tells how she laid her own head upon his and saved him from death and John Rolfe fell in love with her and married her, and she was afterwards called Lady Ee becca. Captain John Smith then wrote a letter to Princess Queen Anne, of Great Britain, begging that the marriage might be recognized by her and approved. Eolfe also wrote a letter to Sir Thomas Dale in 1615, giving his reasons for mar? rying an Indian, which letter I have be? fore me, as taken from the colonial re? cords. I do not suppose that there is any event of colonial history more carefully preserved and authenticated than this heroic act of Focahontas, and I hope that our children's faith in it will not be de? stroyed by this uncertain narrative of the last living descendant of somebody named Tetehee. Let (he old farmer die in his faith if be wants to. Bill Abi?. The Congregation Scattered. Greenville, S. G.Aug. 24.?A ter? rible shooting affray, in which a man was killed outright and two others were fatal? ly wounded, took place at Mountaiu Hill church, on Glassy mountain, in the ex? treme western porton of this county late yesterday afternoon. Mountain Hill church is where a congregation of foot-washing Baptists hold their seryices. Yesterday was com? munion Sunday, and a large congrega? tion was gresent. Josh, Mascena and Eichard Howard had an old grudge against Luther Dur? ham, Eichard Goswell and several of their friends. They met during service, and without delay the Howards open tire on Durham, Goswell and Sherman Bridge man. Luther Durham was shot in the mouth and body, and is fatally wounded. Bridgeman was shot in the mouth and seriously wounded. Mascena Howard was killed instantly, and Eichard Howard was badly wounded, but ran away, and so far has not been heard from. It issup posed that he died from his wounds. The congregation was panic-stricken and tied in every direction. The inhab? itants of that section are nearly all moonshiners, and have very little regard for human life. They are constantly committing some misdeed, and owing to their inaccessibilty and the difficulty in getting proof to convict, it is a difficult matter to punish them. The Howards have been especially conspicuous for misdeeds. Little Bill Howard is now in jail here under sen? tence of death for killing Ben Eose, George Centre is in jail ior the killing of Big Ben Howard a short while ago, aud numerous others crimes have been com? mitted by others in the community. Deafness Can't Ik Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by au inflamed condi? tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this Tube gets in? flamed you have a rumbling sound or im? perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness ii the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal coudition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi? tion of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Ca? tarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio. US-Sold by Druggists, 75 cents. ? The Waltham watch factory com? pany pays its employees monthly in gold, About Cotton Seed and Cot'on Seed Meal. The thoughtful, progressive farmer may always have an interesting problem to work at, If he so desires. No more interesting one is presented than the proper use of cotton seed. Shall thej be sold to the mills or used in a raw state on thft farm'? What are they worth per bushel on the farm when judiciously used ? Is the meal worth more than the quantity of seed required to make it 7 What is the best way to apply raw seed ? These are a few (Jaestione which interest avery farmer in the State. It is" estimated that 100 pounds of good seed will make 35 pounds of meal ; or nine bushels will make 100 pounds of meal. It will then require IS bushels to make 200 pounds of meal, the usual amount to apply to an acre when meal alone is used. Now, will the IS bushels of faw seed be worth more than the 200 pounds of meal? The problem is not changed by mixing acid phosphate and kainit with either seed or meal. If the farmer would exchange 100 bushels of seed, 32 pounds to the bushel, for meal, he would get 220 pounds of meal, w.'aicb would be worth $14.64, at the rate of $24,00 a ton. That is, he would receive $14.64 in meal for his 100 bushels of seed, or say 16 cents' a bushel and do the hauling both ways. The mill would get the lint, oil and hull for grinding. There is a want of information as to the comparative value of seed and meal. A few well directed experiments would throw some light on the subject. Let different farmers try both on corn and cotton with equal applications of seed and meal, or nine bushels of seed to 100 pounds of meal. Apply at the same time and in the same way. The seed when properly applied are a valuable manure. The writer saw a piece of red land on which seed and dissolved bone were used. Both were applied in limited quantities. When the seed gave out there was a marked difference in the quality of the cotton. The cotton in the rows which had an application of about ten bushels of seed to the acre was as large again as it was on the land that had no seed. A farmer may afford to swap his seed for meal. No one can afford to sell his seed at 12 to 18 cents a bushel and then buy commercial manures on time. The policy is wrong and will tell against the man who adopts it evory time. There will always be seed enough for sale to keep our mills going, for maay tenants and even landholders will sell their seed at some price. It is well that we have a mill here that will buy these seed and keep them from being shipped out of the country. The 2 horse farmer who makes fifteen bales of cotton has 450 bushels of seed, for which he could get $59.50 at 15 cents a bushel. These seed a' ready paid for and on the farm are worth any three tons of commercial fertilizer one can find on the market. By using these seed and 20 sacks of some good dissolved bone at $17.00 a ton, this farmer would have a very valuable manure for 40 acres of land and he would have to pay only $34.00 for his two tons of disolved bone. We would ask the farmers of the coun? ty to study this cotton seed question care? fully. It is a very important one. The two-horse farmer with his 450 bushels of cotton seed and 25 loads of good stable and lot manure and about three tons of dissolved bone, which ought not to cost more than $17.00 cash, will have manure enough to put on fifty acres of hoed crops. Such a plan will reduce expenses very much and improve land, at the same time. If any farmers in the county have made tests of cotton seed meal and cotton seed this year, their reports are desired at this office. What the average farmer wants to supplement bis own knowledge with is the experience of oth? ers.? Spartanburg Spartan. Trimmed to Suit his Taste. Speaking of the Grand Army, I heard astory a few days ago worth repealing As it was told me it runs in this wise: At one of the encampments of the Grand Army of the Republic there wa3 a man sitting on the sidewalk appealing to all who passed for alms. His legs and arms had been shot off and he was blind. On his cap he had an appeal in tbe words: "Pity a blind and crippled veteran." He explained to all where he lost his limbs and his eyes. One of the old veterans would give him a nickel, another a dime, and now then he would get a quarter. Finally a man stopped in front of him, aud after hearing his story said : "Here is a five dollar bill." The tears came from the Bightless eyes of the beggar, and he said, " Who are you that are i?o generous ? Tell me your name, that I may remem? ber and bless it." The.man replied that it was unnecessary to give his name, as the money could be eojoyed as ??ell with? out it. The blind man insisted, and finally the donor of the bill said: "Well, if you must know, I am an old Confeder? ate soldier; and if you want to know why I give you the amount of money which pleases you so mucb; I tell you I give it to you becauso you are the first Yankee soldier I have ever seen who was trimmed up to suit ray taste."?

A good nurse is often worth more than the doctor. His visits are short while the watchful and intelligent nurje is stndying the symptoms all day. An in? experienced duetor aided by a wise nurse, is better in most fevers than the most skilled physician with a poor nurse. Then in a case of sicknesa in the family, there should be one periion, or two, whose business it is to w&tch and report all changes and conditions to the doctor. Besides a skillful nurse or two, no one i else should be allowed in the room of a J sick person. I know that I am writing J that which will not please the majori- I ty of people. Through mistaken kind- j ness, crowds of neighbors often rush in I to see the aick person. If they are I stopped at the front gate and thanked j for their kind attention, and requested j not to go in the house, some of them j are weak enough to take offense. 11 now call to mind several cases of se- | verc aickne?s in the country. The J houses were not large and the rooms so I constructed that not one of them was j private. On approaching the house, it j looked as if a meeting was going on I from the number of horses hitched j around* The piazza was full of kind j people who meant well, but they did j not know how to go about it. The I patient was suffering with a constant I fever which made him very nervous. I Two or three days and nights of these J kind attentions brought on delirium I and death. A whole faculty of doctors J could not have saved him with that I crowd of kind neighbors hanging J around. I once bad a good ncig;hbor who took special pleasure in visiting the sick J room. The scene would call up every j case of horrible sickness and all the terrible deaths this person had ever J heard of. She was obliged to talk about them and talk she would. When j it came to bathing the head or smooth- I ing the pillow or doing a dozen other j little soothing things, she was not worth a cent. When she left, it required an hour or two to get the patient back to J a normal condition. If that gocd hearted woman had been informed that, while her attentions were appreciated, I positive orders had been given to keep J the house perfectly quiet and she could not enter she would have been greatly offended. A little common sense thould be used I when people are sick. Sometimes the family does not like to usurp the au- j thority belonging to it. In that case J some discreet neighbor should take charge and call in two or three skillful assistants, using them on alternate days. J All others should be kept from the house and especially the sick room. A neighbor when calling should never enter the house, unless he is asked to go in by the doctor, or some one who under? stands the case. Above all things a sick person needs rest and a very quiet time. They cannot have this if the whole neighborhood are allowed to call and stay all day. Sunday is the favorite day for visiting them, and of course you will always find them much worse on Monday after a thought? less crowd has kept them under an intense state of excitement for hours. These hints are thrown out to correct a great evil which still prevails in some communities.?Ruth Raymond, in Spartanburg Spartan Girls Saved the Train. There are two young girls now at St. Paul who are deserving of honorable men? tion for a recent prompt and heroic act of theirs which resulted in saving a pas , Benger train from wreck with the proba? ble 1035 of human life. The two girls are Lizzie Barron, of this city, and Carrie Butcher, who lives neat: Shakope. The former was visiting her friend at Sba kopee not long since, and it was during this visit that the act of bravery was per? formed. The girls were out one day taking a stroll, and about four miles eastofSha kopeo they came to the track of the Has? tings and Dakota division of the Mil? waukee Railroad, along which they start? ed to walk. They had not proceeded far when they discovered that the beams of a wooden culvert had caught fire and almost entirely burned away. There was nothing left but a shell, which would scarcely bear up the weight of a hand car, but a few rods awsy nothing amiss could be discovered, and the rails still in their proper positions. At the time of the discovery it was ju.it about time for the express to pass, and the situation at once flashed upon the minds of the two girls- Instead of becoming panic stricken and running away to find help, which, they realized would probably come too late, they rush? ed down the track towards the approach? ing train, the roar of which could be heard in the distance. They had not proceeded far when the train dashed around a curve at full speed not far away. But their hearts never faltered and they remained standing upon the track, swing? ging their bonnets and gesticulating wildly. A shriek from the engine told them that their signals uad been compre? hended by the engineer, aud they stepped aside: while the train rushed past them with the the sparks of fire flying from the wheels as they were gripped by the steel shoes of the air brakes. The train was brought to a staudstill before the ruined culvert was reached, and the girls mod cstly received the thanks of the passen? gers and trainmen for their prompt ac? tion in averting a serious wreck. When the Milwaukee officials became aware of the faita in the case the general manager issu orders to suitably reward the two girls, .vhich ht.s just been done by the local officers.
