The flower-bath is said to be the fashionable fad of many society ladies at the present time. The method of preparation is extremely simple. Koses and violets hold sway because of their delightful perfume. It would be a blessed thing if social conversa* tion could be revolutionized by nonie sort of intellectual and spiritual bath periutuey uy oouqueis 01 ^urisimu graces. Too much of our society conversation is scented with goesip and personal enmities and jealousies, which are not good for either the intellectual or spiritual health. The perfumes of love, hope, faith, meekness, gentleness, peace, are the kinds that make personal fellowship a benediction to all who share it. Especially is thin true in tbe association of Christian workers in carrying on the kingdom of God in the world. The only way to get more grace is to make a proper use of what we already have. T never knew a national dinnnte thftt. might Dot have been settled without a resort to the sword. May never another war-drum be heard or a flag unfureld on an American battle-field. There n?ver was a day that did not briDg its own opportunities for doing good, that could not have beeu done before, and never can be again. God will just as readily recognize a thought-prayer in the midst of the bustling crowd as vocal petition iu the place of public worship. God tests us benevolently to prove and exercise our faith; the devil tempts malevolently to weaken and extinguish it Kindness is a precious oil that makes crushing wheels of care seem lighter. Each new day with its opportunities is a fresh gift from the hand of God. If you condemn in other what you tolerate in yourselves, then you are a hypocrite. CONTRIBUTED LOCALS.

We hear that the erection of another fine hotel of modern design, is soon to commence in Abbeville. Upon special Inquiry, we And the report is not without good foundation. Several new cottages and one or more handsome dwellings are also mapped oul for the near future. AIR COMPRESSOR FOR WATER WORKS. There seems to be some little discontent * ~ * * I A f thn WQ for aooGi me occasional nuutuug uu ? supply. If we are correctly informed, the extravagant UHe of water by consumers has caused the supply to be short of the demand. There Is plenty of water, but It seems the pump Is not equal to the great demand made uponltjustat this particular season of the year. We bear the Water Commissioners Dave already purchased an Air Compressor, which will bo in use within the next 30 days, by which a supply of water can be taken from the deep well that will be equal In every way lo the demand. We are satisfied our oommlsdoners have, and will continue to manage the water works system to the best Interest of all concerned. MOKE I.IG1IT ! NEW LAMP. Mr. C. P.

The very beat it gives out is what the plant first took in. What is there more valuable than coal, that warms our bouses so nicely and gives us such beautiful gaslight to sit by on cold winter nights? All kinds of machinery are worked by it, from the factory.to the engine. Even the oil that we use in our lamps comes coal and the remains of plants. If you were to take a piece in your hands, you could see the impression of leaves like those you gather in the country lanes. Many have stems, too. They are very, very hard, and even have the marks where the roots grew! ' Many kinds of ferns and huge trees of the forest often make coai, for every coal mine has more or less of these; even the cones of the pine have been found in the coal. Peat is the beginning of a bed of coal before it grows hard. You know what a nice fire it makes. Coke, which you have often seen burning so brightly in the grate, is made by driving out all the oil and gases from the coal?the very gas that we burn. Tar often oozes out of the lumps of coal on a fire, making little black bubbles, which burst and burn. Paraffin oil is made from this very tar, and benzoline, too. Aniline comes from benzoline, which makes some of our most beautiful dyes. Essences that are put in candies you buy, and taste so good, come from tar. So you see that from coal we get nearly all our heat and light, colors, and pleasant flntfaufi Ton Jf if noafnl f KaiiivK 9 uavuia. xou u n uoaui i/uuu?u t 'Glvenpplty." Two little sisters, Daisy and Bess, bad been given a parasol which was to be held and shared in common. It was a dainty bit of blue satin, with such glory of ribbons and lace as well might cbarm the most exacting little girl. They were to take turns carrying it but mamma noticed, at the end of a week, that Bessie's "time" never seemed to come, although the unselfish little girl made no complaint. One day, as they started for a walk, Miss Daisy, as usual, appropriated the coveted treasure, and gentle Bess was moved to remonstrance : "Sister, it's my time to carry it." "No, it's not; it's my time! I haven't had it hardly a bit," retorted little Miss Temper, with a flash of her brown eyes as sne grasped the parasol more tightly. "Daisy," interposed mamma, "give it to your sister. She has let you have it every day, and you must learn to give it up." "O mamma, I can't! There is no giveuppity in me," sobbed the little girl, dropping the parasol and biding her flushed face in her apron. It is often hard for children, and grown people, too, to get "giveuppity" in their hearts. But without it, the machinery of life soon begins to rub and wear, and there is sure to be a break down, so let us all cultivate "giveuppity." MumIc in NoiiIn. Mr. Drummond is quoted in the following suggestive and inspiring lines; "There are some men and women in whose company we are always at our best. All the best stops in our nature are drawn out by their intercourse, and we find a music in our souls never there before." These music inspiring men and women are a blessing to the world, and it is a pity that we do not have more of them. How much better it is, how much more helpful to all classes, to nnll nn t.he mnsir.*! elements In men and cause those elements to vibrate iu melodies tbat soothe the sorrows aud mollify the griefs and cares of life, than it is to awakeu the harsh, discordant notes of nelfish human nature. May it not be true that every human heart has in it something of this music element? Does not the gospel of Christ make musio in the soul whenever it is allowed place and power there? Is it not the part of wisdom to seek for and develop those elements of melody? Warning is needed against the sins and errors of life, and all suob duty is unpleasant, but there is a large field for usefulness in bringing into action the sweeter and nobler chords of the human heart. Saving grace works great things in that way. Display of CRACKERS, TEA and FLA POWDER. YOUNG HYSON. OOLO] and the celebrated O. & O.?the finest 1 TOBACCO and CIGARS thi9 week, full and complete.

It is the superfluous things that really make life difficult. They are the things we riin in debt for, usually, and the things we overwork to get and worry about after they are ours. It is the care of tbese things that make us nervous and worn. A lady with a beautiful home said last Christmas: "Please do not give me anything that will make existence any more complicated than it is at present. I really am at a loss trying to remember what all the conveniences with which I am supplied are for, and a good part of my income goes in paying people to take care of the things I do need." Yet in spite of her request her dressing-table was still further littered with silver knick-knacks, her shelves were overloaded with lbric-abrac, and her sideboard burdened with articles for "which she could have only a remote use. She is not a wealthy woman, nor are her friends wealthy. She represents the average well-to-ao woman of taste, living on a moderate income. Yet she sees her servants forever polishing and burnishing and rearranging the articles which, so far from adding to her happiness, really cumber her. There has been a marked increase in the luxuries of life in America the lastfew years, and the people, pleased witb their elegant Viorro nnf nof o/innimH th? mnro 1 lAJJTOf U?Y V/ UUV JVll UVVJ Uil vvt vu? UMW.M. courage to forego them. To acquire and yet acquire is their instinct, and thus they cheat themselves of leisure and peaoe and simplicity. Not that one would for a moment suggest that a bare home is more desirable than a decorated one. But a home in which each article is either useful or beautiful, or both, would of a surety be a most desirable thing. The Gl.'t of TliyHelf. Christ was a gift to the world. Thou art a gift to thy neighbor. Never did the Savior know physical weariness so heavy that he railed to lavish tbe abundance of his gifts of love, healing and comfort upon the eager throngs who followed him, Neither shouldst thou withhold that J ? 1- I ? ! * * oi MAA II r?l I f W11IUL1 IS ill luce tllUt LUay ujjiih luj neighbor toward God.
