The Press and Banner, ^ - 1 * ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, Feb. 27, 1884. The Storm and the Country Press. From the be^innim; of the world to tlie . nresenttime tho city papers have never; had so favorable an opportunity to pet, nhend of tho country papers, as was fur-1 nishod last woek by tho storm. The ! Ntorin pissed over tho country late Tues- J dav evening. Before the newspapers K!k. is in proas and will he shortly published by T. B. Peterson ?t Brothers, Philadelphia. It is the great literary cu- < Iriosity of the reason, beiinj a crawl nov- j <>1 of passion, whose powerful interest < lie* in its truth and pathos. The hero- i jne's experience, while fr?light with sor- j row, yet has its bright side, and throng- i out her career she fully realizes "The [ - " Joys of Life," from which circumstance the work takes its name. I Thk work of building tho new church 11 at Due West will orobably go on without! j much delay. We hope, however, that still another effort mav be made to build 1 I* firte church. Let the active workers j ! see the subscribers to the work, and find i1 out how many of them would double {' thefa subscriptions. By making such an ; 1 effort some persons might he induced to i * contribute who have not subscribed. 11 A subscription* list was handed to| our citizens yesterday, seeking relief fcr'.? the ufferers by tho cyclone at Bradley,It and we believe the responses \Vere as lib- j eral as the mean# of our people would al- i low. There is no people on top of the'u ground who contribute more frequently! i or more cheerfully than ours do to the 1 [ relief or the distressed. j? A MKfrtiVo of the farmers of the Conn- l ty and those interested in thecanse of the 1 farmer will be held in the Courthouse on I Friday 2Sth inst., at 11 o'clock for the 1 purpose of discussing the matter of the .6 "" ~ 111 Kn Qf}_ 1 r Grange CI no. me uicvn^ nm uv ? . . dressed by James II.

All of the houses on his'farin in Edgefuld county wore blown down. \j Mr. Jason Simpson is now dealing in music. Ho presented lis with a sample! sheet last week, and we have b:?en since ] then on the search for some one to plav t: it. As Mr. Simpson deals in first class v sewing machines we take it for granted {' that the music is first class. j; Mr. Kinnv com minds an army of. i< ? ?_ i I.;t,i umMpr nvpr the 1 ^ naiiu.% uicimiuf, muddy places on the Public Square.J,, The work goes bravely on.

Tlie Wt-sleyftn Methodists of Ureal Brit-, iln raised over one million dollars for siinular objects. The next Methodist centennial event was In | IH56. It was a commemoration of the first Methodist preaching services held In this! country In 1766, and was celebrated by the! Methodist Episcopal Church In 1X66. Educn-< lionand Church Extension were the great j objects of their benevolence, and 82.0.0,00:1; was suggested as the amount to be raised. The result was a magiillllcent one, the thank- j offerings amounting to Ss.709,107:{!), or more than four times the amount, proposed ut the' ou tset.

William Unbelts In his lecture i on "Digestion." He says that the general i practice of eating the oyster raw is evidence I that the popular Judgment upon matters of! diet Is usually trustworthy. The f?wit-colored mass, which Is the delicious portion of the fish, Is Us liver, and is simply a mass of glycogen. Associated with the glycogen, but withheld from actual contact with it. during life, is Its appropriate digestive fc> merit?the hep- ? atlc diastase. The mere crushing ot the oyster between the teeth brings these two bodies ! together, and the glycogen is at once digested I without any other help than the diastage. The raw. or merely warmed oyster, is self-digestive. Hut the advantage of this provision is wholly lost hy cooking; for the heat Immediately destroys the associated ferment, and a cooked oyster has to he digested, like any other food, by the eater's own digestive pow- i ers. "My dear sir, do you want to ruin your digestion?" asked Professor Hou.'hton of Trinity College one day of a friend who had ordered brandy and water with his oysters In a Dublin restaurant. Then he sent for a glass of brandy and a glass of (iulnness's XX, and put an oyster In each. In a very short time there lay in the bottom of the glass of brandy a tough, leathery substance resembling the finger of a kid ?love, wiille In the porter there was hardly a trace of the oyster to be found.

Robust persons nin.v safety j i sleep in a temperature or fi rty and under, out. j the Ha, the infant and the fruil should never i sle?p In a room where the atmosphere Is much under 11 fry decrees Fahrenheit. All know ttie danger of going direct Into the cold from 11 very warm room. Very few rooms, churches, theatres, and the like, are even warmer than seventy degrees. If It Is I freezing out ol doors It Is thirty degrees?the difference being forty degrees more. Persons will be chilled by such n change In ten minutes. although they may he actively walking. Hut to lie still In bed. nothing 1o promote the circulation, and breathe for hours an atmosphere of forty and even fifty degrees, when tlx? lungs nre always at ninety-eight. Is j too great a change. Many persons wake up } If) the morning with Inflammation of the lumrs who will to bed well-, and are surprised that this should he the case. The cause may often be found in sleeping In a room the windows of which have been foolishly hoisted for ventilation. The water-cuic Journals of the country have done an incalculable Injury by the blind and indlscrlmlnul advice of hoisting the window at. night. The rule should be everywhere during the I pnrt of the year when fires are kept burning, to avoid hoisting outside windows. Ills safj cr and better to leave tlie chamber door open, as also the fireplace; then there Is a draft up . the chimney, while the room Is hot so likely j | to become cold. If there is some fire In tlie j I room all niixhtthe window may be opened art I | Inch. It is safer to sleep In a bud air all night ] , with a temperature over fifty, than In a pure air with a temperature under forty. The bad air may sicken yon but cannot kill you; the Cold air can and does kill very often. Beaufort, February 22.?A huge right , whale, sixty feet lonir, captured by the Lottie E.
