The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. | - I I Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1893. 1 i 4 r Vice-president Steveuson, in closing < an address before the Illinois Press i Assosiation on Illinois Press Day at i the World's Fair, June 16th, made use of the following language : "As a citizen of this great State, I but voice the sentiment of the Illinois Press Association, when 1 thank the < representatives of other nations for < their presence this day. AsanAmeri- | can, I voice the feelings of millions of < my countrymen when I declare our ' }>rofound gratitude to sister nations < or their generous contributions to the ( grand consummation which our eyes j now behold. I "Is it too much, Mr. President, to | hope that chief among the potent re- I suits of the Columbian Exposition < will be the humane and enlightened sentiment, national and international in character, looking to the substitution of neaceable arbitration for war ' in the adjustment of controversies between nations. Mav we not belive ! thatinthenot far distant future all \ nations will join in the acclaim 'Peace 1 on earth good will to men" and that 1 the nations will learn war no more for- ! ever." 1 < Emma Goldman, the anarchist, was < on trial in New York, the other day, i for seditious speeches and for disturbing the peace. These are some of the , questions asked her, and her answere : i Q.?Do you believe in a Supreme being? Ans.?I do not. I am an atheist. Q.?Where were you born? i A.?In Russia. Q. ?Then you do not i believe in any law ? A.?I am against the law. Q.?You regard the State Legislature as a useless body, as well as Congress ! A.?I only believe in the moral law. Q.?Do you believe n living up to the law of legislatures? A.?I do not believe in any law whatever. Denies the existence of a Supreme Being and is opposed to all laws, Divind and human.

That the State of South Caroliua is prosperous, despite its drawbacks, may be seen from a report which Secretary of State Tindal will make to the Legislature on the number of new entesprises which have been started in the State for the fisical year ending Oct31, 1893, and the ammount of money invested in these en terprises. For the fiscal year ended October 3!, 1892, 79 charters were issued and 45 commissions for which there was no return. The capital stock of all 4 Amounted to $4,969,750. For the year ending^today 72 charters have been issued and 55 commissions on which returns have not been made. The amount invested was $7, 413,000. Thorehas been an increase during the past: year, over the previous year, of money invested, of S2,443,250, a snlendid increase, aud one which shows that the people have confidence in south Carolina jet. This money has been invested in all kinds of indrstries, from cotton mills to canning factories. Most of it is home money. The number of people employed iti these enterprises cannot be estimated, but nearly every body gets some benefit from them.

Better go as soou as possilbe.? Christian Standard. A Christian States max. ? The jditor of the Christian Advocate vouches for the truth of the following story. A famous Uuited States Senator, boisterous in mauner and vulgar in thought, once was a guest at the Jinner table of the late Hon. Hamilton Fish. Formerly religious, the Senator, in his fall from grace, had become irreverent and malicious in his comments upon Christianity and Christians. At this dinner he was uuusually coarse, virulent and loud. Mr. Fish, the host, endured it as long as courtesy made necessary, and iiually said : "Senator , pardon me, but I must request you to desist. I firmly believe in Jesus Chri-t as the Savior of the world; of His church I am a meiuoer, iu my uuuse i uave tu.eu to honor Him, and in His faith I expect to die ; and it is painful to me to hear you speak in this way." There were no more sneers. The chickens from stolen nests are generally strong and lively. Fish may be scaled easier by first dipping them into boiling water for a minute. One teaspoonful of ammonia to a teacupful of water applied with a rag will clean silver or gold jewelry. A wineglass of strong borax water in a pint of raw starch will make collars and cuffs stiff and glossy. Wetting the hair thoroughly once or twice with a solution of salt and water will keep it from falliug out. When a felon first begins to make its appearance, take a lemon, cut oft one end, and put the finger in; the longer it is kept there the better. Bent whalebones can be restored and used again by simply soaking iu water a few hours, then drying them. A small piece of paper or linen mois tened with turpentine and put intc the wardrobe or drawers for a single day, two or three times a year, is a preventive against moth*. Fancy long plumes on ladies' hats can he washed beautifully in a weak solution of soda, squeezed -out with the hands and dried in corn starch, curled up again they look like new, also delicate laces can be cleaned in iu like manner. To revive wilted flowers plunge the stems to about one third of theii length in boiling water. This will drive the sap back iuto the flowers, causing them to become fre9h. Then cut away the third of the stem which has been heated and place the flower* in cold water. Nothing makes more delicious cakes and buscuits than buttermilk. Sour cream is also very nice, but not always so easy to get. Phppflp Hno oro cheese, two-thirds butter?cream together; enough flour to make into dough. Roll thiu, cut in strips and bake. ?Because you are through with your harvester for this season is no reason why it should be permitted to remain where you used it last until another crop has been planted and matured. In no way will late chickens do so well as by scattering the coops around in the orchard, or if you have no orchard, scatter them around over the place among the weeds if you can do no better. ?A great many farmers fall, like the ^speculator, by "biting off more than ne can chew," or '-wading beyond his depth," or planting more than he can properly cultivate. All these aphorisms mean the same thing. ?Are the cultivators, harrows, rollers, plows and farui machinery uuder shelter, or are they scattered over the farm? Implements exposed to alteruate sun and rain will not last as long is if taken care of. ?Much can be learned by observing nature. A horse will never staud facing a wind in the pasture, but will always turn his bacl?. A horse heated by driving can be foundered in a few minutes by standing facing the wind or in a draught. ?A farmer who tried the experiment of rubbing the hide of un animal witli a raw onion reports that the result was to rid the animal of lice, and is believed that onions will serve to rid animals of all such pests as lice, ticks, fleas, etc., the difficulty being the labor of application of the remedy.

As a matter of fact, he always does. So it behooves us to look carefully at his conclusions before accepting them. A very large proportion of the theories advocated by would-be reformers perish within a | few years. And yet all true reformers .. * l .1 r ~ rvF i ?ail great learners m mc nuuu ? thought and action, have been earnest and daring radicals. In religion, Paul, Luther, Wesley, and?we dare not, even now, mention those living teachers to whom we are in deb led for 1 a deeper insight unto God's revelation 1 to ns in and through Jesus Christ. Tiie timid conversatives of our time ! still suspect and condemn them as dangerous innovators. It id wise for | the average thinker not to venture too far unto but partially explored realms. Tbere is danger of getting hopelessly lost. But it is not wise to condemn everything new, and to deliver a lot of crude opinions which may embarrass our children and weaken the cause we would defend. There are things about which we would do well to hold our opinions in abeyance, until we get more l'ght. In the meantime let us remember that the fathers were not infallible interpreters of the message of God, and that truth will never be exhausted. The greatest of all human teachers saw as "through a glass darkly." It becomes us to be docile as little children, praying always that the spirit of truth may guide us unto all truth. Exchange. An English Quaker hae his opinion of the Muody and Sankey pongs, and expresses himself thus : "It was an unfortunate circumstance yhen the Moody and Sankey collection of , hymns was introduced into this country ; its many and vain repetitions, its irreverent use of the 'high and holy name of God,' and of the 'precious blood of (jurist,' to say nomuig 01 me absolute doggerel, vulgarity, und stillness of mauy of its selections. A 1 large number of them, too, set forth the emotional rather than the experimental side of Christian life ; false and sensational notions of the future heaven, but little inculcation of that 'peace and joy in the Holy Ghost,' by i which the kingdom ot heaven may be our inheritance here and now. I Surely in all this eucouragement of 1 mere sound and noise, there can be but little room for those scriptural teachings on divine things that have | ever been dear to the heart of every . devout member of the Society of i Friends." i JCT f Wesleyan Ch.

It Is often said, with a good show of reason, that if a man will say a thing to himself often enough, he will, in time, come to believe it?especially if it be a thing that he would like to be lieve. Many an evildoer comes to grief because he is the victim of this kind of self-wrought delusion. Call it so, and have pity for the deluded victim. But forget not that the first steps toward evil need uot be deeds of hand, or harsh words, but mere vain boasting, or the veriest off-hand empty talk. St. Louis Christian Advocate. Practical Christianity. ? We must work together for the physical, intellectual and spiritual salvation of the vast multitudes who are fast sinking into a condition of hopeless poverty, ignorance and moral slavery. Unemployed men from Colorado, Arizona and California, are causing no little trouble lo some of the railroad companies. In Texas, about 200 of them took possession of a train en route, and rode from one point to another, while at San Anionia, a large number without meaus are awailing transportation The rail- i roads decline to carry them lor noth-| ing and say tbey shall not ride free, even if it becomes necessary to arm the men on all the trains, while the city authorities are unable to provide for them, and the situation has thus become one of great perplexity.

"J don't want to go to the picni Aunt Mary." "Why not, Susie?" "Because I never have a good tin: at any such place. You know I'm n< like the other girls."

Aunt Mary look her drinkin cup from her basket, and giving it I Susia, said, "Go and fill that at the i( cooler and offer it to the lady, an then bring me some, and have sorr yourself." A grateful "thank you" from the li dy made Susie very happy. When they reached the grove tl; other girls grouped themselves variom ly, but Susie stayed by Aunt Man The latter spied a little girl by he self, and t?aid to Susie : '<Go and as that little girl if she wouldu't like I swing, and take her to the swing an give Iter a chance to enjoy herself." Susie went obediently, and wassoo talking with the strange girl, wli turned out to be the daughter of tL owner of the grove in which the pi( nic. was had. This little trirl. trra'efi for Susie's attention, offered to tali her to some pretty nooks near by, ni accessible to the other < hildren, an the two girls bad a tine time rambliu together till lunch was reudy, an then everybody was callcd by a bell I the tables. After lunch Aunt Mary said : "Oi of the little girls was made sick by ri< ing on the cars, and she lies youdi under that maple tree. Take yoi frieud and go and see if you can't c something for her? she's too sick 1 play." So the two went and cheered tl patient, carrying lemonade and tal! ing pleasantly to her, till she real! began to forget her sickness and tul an interest in things about her. When Susie got home from the pi nic she told her mother she never 01 joyed hernelf so much in her lif Aunt Mary, heariug this, said, as tin were talking matters over confidents ly: "Now, Susie, whenever you fe shy and begiu to think about you self and how awkward and solitai you feel, go right about making tsom body else happy, and you'll forget i about your ba^hfulness, auu ue bu prised to find how soon you'll begin really enjoy yourself and be genuine happy." Practical Mystics. Like the confluence of two gre streams, merging their volume ai their velocity in one, God unites t\ opposite characteristics in eijual pi portions to make the man of greau spiritual might. The ardent mys! contemplates God enraptured and ad< iug, forgetful of the world in which lives. The practical man sees the rt and urgent condition of things aroui him, and tries, uninspired by the v ion, to work out some actual scheme relief. Each of these is shorn of po er for lack of the other's element strength. It is when the man, lllui inated by the holiest visions aud t truest adoration of God, unites tl high, mysterious visitations of his soi to the deed of love, to real self sacri ce, to a rescuing philanthropy f others, that we have the man of pow the man who creates a movement < the part of others toward God.?S.

While this house was being renovated, a shanty was torn down close by, , and a dead baby was found between l. the joists of the floor. ^ About the same time a woman peddler was robbed of over $20 on the street a few doors below.

We ought, many of us, to speak uore earnestly in the prayer-meeting o take a more active part in tbe pub ic service. But there is a life that peaks more distinctly than words in a irayer-meeting. It is tbe basket left ,t the door of the poor. It is the :neeling form at,the bedside of the dyug. It is the extended hand held out o the stranger. It is the beamiug ace reflecting the love of Christ.

V*?.':'v I Lock to the Littles? There are uo puch things aa trifles in the biography of man. The happiness of life is made up of little things?little courtesies, little kindnesses, pleasant words, genial smiles, friendly letters, good wishes and good deeds. One in a million, once in a life-time, may Go an heroio Cllon, DUL tue mile llllljps iuhv luanc up life come every day and every hour. If we make the little events of life beautiful and good, then id the whole life full of beauty aud goodness. In the little things all the hfeart comes out. They are the tests of greatness. They help to make the immortal man. True greatness consists in being great; in little things. Itis so of character. As the smallest leak overlooked may siuk a t?hip. so the smallest tendency to evil thinking or evil doing left unguarded may wreck f he character and life. The drunkard^ generally begins in a small way. He lake* now aud then a small glneaof wine to keep out the cold or the heat, or to he sociable among his friends, and thinks it easy to stop. But soon the evil habit is fastened upon him. Interested friends may warn; the loving wife may entreat with all the eloquence of tears; children may cling to him and cry for bread?once in the snare of the destroyer the victim will drink, ihrnnah h? knows that he will die. . v He combines the deafness of the adder with the desperation of a maniac and rushes on, regardless of dauger, reckless of consequences. The fluest tree I ever saw was killed by a single worm, and many wfto once promised fair for usefulness in the world have been ruiued by a single sin. There are two ways of coming down from a steeple?one is to jump down and the other is to come down by the steps. So there are two ways of going to destruction?one is to walk into it with your eyes wide open (few people do that), the other is to go down bv the steps of littlesins, aud that way is only too coramou.

Chemists tell us that a single grain of iodine will impart color to'7,000 times its weight of water. One companion, one book, one habit, one sin, may affect the whole life aud character.

Just as the broadest rivers run From small and distant spriugs, Tbe greatsst crimes that men have done Have come from little thing*. Troubles that come in the line of God's ordering for us are among our best blessings. God loves us better than we love Our selves. God knows what is for our good, as we cannot know. God would never permit us to be distressed or dioappk>inted, or mlsunderstood, or bereaved, If there were any better way of getting just the training we need. If we realize thh truth as a truth, how much readier we shall be to eudure bravely the trials to which we are called in the providence of God I They are what the great Physician has prescribed for us. Without them we could never have such health of soul as thev will briug us. they are lessons set for us by the Great Teacher; and the knowledge we ought to desire can never be attained without this course of instruction. Jutt that which tires us roost in our daily life course is that for whieh we would be most grateful, if we could see it as God sees it.?Sunday-School Times. Feeling is back of the expression of feeling. There can be no expression of feeling where there is no feeling to express. It Is true that the expression of feeling increases the depth aud intensity of feeling, and tiiat the repression tends to the lessening of reeling. But it is also true there cannot be an expression of feeling beyond ibe measure of the feeling that exists, and that real feeling instinctively seek* aud finds expression. John Augell James* used to say that, in order to influence others, one mu-t be in earnest. "Do not try to speak earnestly," he added, "but be earnest, and you will speak earnestly." John B. Gough insisted that it was more importaut for a public speaker to be natural in the express ion nis thoughts than to strive to gest - 11 UA AiiiMaAAfail f Ktif u ure uuiurmij nc ouggcoiuu vuuir <? dog Rave no thought to the mode of wagging his tail, but that the wurgiug was Instinctive, and simply showed how the dog felt. If you wanted to lessen a dog's tail-wagging, you would do well to traiu him to think lefts of you, rather than tospeud your efforts in the endeavor to induce him to wag leisurely and only on special occasions. So, again, if we deem a certain expression of feeling on our part unseemly, we may understand that the feeling thus expressed Is, under the : circumstances, reprehensible, and that the surest way of representing the expression is by representing or crushing out the feeling. ? The Most Needed Man.?The man most needed to-day is not the millionaire. the inventor, the orator, the statesman, or poet; but (bo ideal man ?the man who is nearest to Him who was the model of all moral and manly beauty, whose presence was a benediction, whose words were pearls of wisdom, whose deeds were untainted by self-ism, whose manners were affable and courteous, whose gentleness caused Him to call His betrayer "friend," benevolent love caused Him to lay down His life to save bis foe*, and who asked no return for all He was and did but a love ret-ponsive to bis own. Tbe man wbo comes the nearest to this ideal man, the divine Redeemer, is the man most needed in ibis bustling, restless, unbelieving, self-seek age. Such a man, be he rich or poor, learned or unlearned, titled or untitled, ennobles humanity, lifts his fellows up from degrading vices, makes the world purer and happier, and holds high rank among the benefactors of bis race and ibe ft lends of God. Therefore, the age gieatly needs him, and whoever longs to terve his generation will strive to rise as nearly as he may to the stature of the ideal man.?Christian Advocate. We shapeourown fate quite as much is fate shapes us. Pretense may not be of long continuance but it iroes while it lasts. A woman may be no more vain than i man is, but she will do more for vanty's sake than a man will. Prudence is the muzzle for zeal. Avarice is so close that he who has it ienics its possession A woman who can love once can love ;wice. As soon as two people begin to think ilike they disagree. Theologians give finite interpretation o infinite truths and condemn infinite mills for refusing to accept them. k
