The people are running amuck on the railroad question. In North (ar. olina the railroads have agreed to submit to the 21 mile rate, to sell tickets at that price, Atnd meanwhile they appeal on the ground that the rate is confiscatory. We do not know whether it is or not. Neitlier does the North Carolina legislature know. The North Carolira lejislature does not know whether the Laurens Ad vertiser can afford to sell advertising apace at 2j cents an inch or not. Whenever the Sauth Carolina legis lature concludes to pass an act limit ing the Advertiser to 2j cents an inch rate they can take the paper and run it themselves Meantime, reduction in railroad passenger fares helps only a part of the people. It helps the drummer, who spends $500 a year for railroad tickets. It helps the manufacturer, wbo spends $500 for tickets It helps the well-to-do man, who spends $200 a year sending his family to the mountains or to the seashore for the summer and who sends h1s boys and girls to college. It helps the lawyers who go to the supreme court three uir four timee a year and it helpqthe merchants who go to New York for goods twice a year. Half the people spend not over $5 or $10 a year in railroad riding and nearly half, the poorer woomen and children scatter ead about on the farms, don't ride on the railroads at all. Reductions in passenger fares may save a cotton mill operative $2 a year, but it will .4ave the cotton mill president $200 a year. Isn't that so? A cut of one-third in freight rates would help everybody; that would be "special privileges to none," and -qual assistance to the balance of mankiud, hut the cut in passenger fares, to which the politicians are devoting all their time, will lelp tho drummer most and will be of considerable comfort to the preachers, especially the colored preachers, who are the greatest travelers that this country prod aces. But, when they slash freight rates .wildly and deeply, not knowing what they are doing, they will force the railroads into the bands of receiverr. That would be excellent for the law yers. The legislature will, if they perseveri, put the railroads out of l'u. siness. Then the United States gov ernment will buy them at auction and operate them. Conductors and engineers will be chosen by civil ser-' vice examination. Our complaint is that the railroads do not give good service. They ought to he compelled, gradually, by law, to abolish grade crossing, to put Pull. man cars on more trains, to keep clean towels on band in day'cars, the cars to be regularly and frequently cleaned and, first and above all, they ought to be forced to keep their tracks and trestles ini the best possi ble condition, to install block sys tem and every other device looking to more safety, to pay wages that will command the service of the most re liable and nompetent men and to overwork none of their employes; they should be compelled to run their trains on schedule, If the schedules are too fast, lot them be slower, but run the trains according to the schedules. We do not see bow improvements are to be had by cutting down the passenger fares. It would be better to compel the railroads to give first class service even if it were necessary to -pay 5 cents a mile for it. The people should have safety first and comfort on the railroad cars, regard less of what they cost.-[Laurens Advertiser. THE MAGIO NO. 8. Number three is a wonderful mascot for Geo. H.

Cuee It by Observing a Few Important Rules of Health. It is amazing that so common a difficulty as dyspepsia should be so little understood by the general public and that its remedy should be so hard to find. But'it can be cured and without any marvelous nostrums by observing a few impor tant rules of health. The dyspeptic must first fix in his mind the fact that his ailment is the result of bad habits of eatingand living and that these must be changed; that drugs will do him no good. He must be gin by avoiding all starchy foods, as potatoes, ice, oatmeal, beans, etc. Meats, soft bojled eggs, milk toast, zwieback, etc., are the best *bods for avoiding fermentation and the gas that causes dyspeptic pains. In serious cases .buttermilk is one of the best dependencies. Another is boiled milk -with a slight addition of limeyater. Either of these will enable 'the most chronic dyspeptic to procure some sustenance without serious distress. He should drink' freely of hot water, at least two quarts a day, always taking a glass half an hour before mealtime. He should not cro.wd his meals close to gether, as with an impaired diges tion, it -is often beat, to have the meals six or seven hours or more apart. The rule to be followed is that a new meal should not 'be eaten until the previous one .is digested or out of the way and the stomach has. had a littie rest,-and there Amst be further rest after eating. It is absolutely essential to- eat slowly and qhew with the greatest thoroughness. Complete chewing in the mouth, permitting no wash ing down with coffee or tea, sali vates the food so that it is ready for digestion when it goes into the stomach, and persistence in the practice will put good flesh on any lean dyspeptic. Thire is a tliery that when solid food is chewed in the mnouth to an absolute pulp the organas in the back of the nouth exercise a selective action and send to the stomach only that which is fitted to be converted into blood and tissue, this relieving the digestive organs of handling the waste. Whether or not this is correct is for the science of the future to det'er mine. Certain it is that nature gave us grinding teeth for the purpose of chewing our food and never intend ed that we should swallow it un chewed, as do those animals having more than one stomach.-Ch arles It. Cochrane in Metropolitan Maga zine. Living Snow. One of the most curious sights in northwestern Canada is that of liv ing snowv. There a curious phe nomenon is seen in the appearance of millions of minute black insects wvhen a thaw occurs. During the winter the snow is dry and crisp, like sand, and nothing whatever can be discovered of these insects, but as soon as *a thaw comes they are found everywvhere in large patches, looking like a dusting of soot. They are generally known as snow fleas, or jumpers, and have slight hopping powers, being able to leap three or four inches. They en tirely disappear when it freezes again, and not a trace of them can be fond. They do not fall with the snow, as* there may have been rio snow .for a month or more be fore their arrival, and are probably something similar to the "red snow" of the arctic regions.-Dundee Ad vertiser. Her Contract. A wealthy wvidowv was about to marry a widower whose sole pos session consisted of a family of small 'children. A friend of the prosp~ective groom met one of the cliildren, a little girl of six years, and said: "Wher.e are you going, Jenny, all dressed up se fine ?" "I'm going to a wedding," she said proudly. "W.~hose weddinag?" was the next query. "Mrs. Noble's," replied she. "And who is Mrs. Noble going to marry ?" "Why," said she, in an astonished tone, "don't you kgnow ? She's go ing to marry us.' "Now, Thomas," said, a bishop, after. taking hits servant to task one morning, "who is it that sees all we do and hWears all we say and -knows all we think and who regards even mec in my bishop's robes as but a vle wor n of the dust?" And TLLhomnhs replied, 'The AI Jair Dressing. Nearly every one likes a fine hair dressing. Something to make the hiair more nung. able; to keep it from beinig too rough, or from spliiug1 at the ends.
