Jones preaobed an excellent sermon last Sunday morning from Proverbs 2812: "Apply tblne heart unto Instruction, and tblne ears to the words of knowledge." Subject of bis discourse being "Christian Education." His remarks were plain and practical showing that man to be perfect must not only receive mental and physical education, but moral and spiritual as well, and otherwise he would be dwarfed and one-sided. He dwelt strongly upon tbe religious training given our men and women In the church institutions of tbe State, and said because tbe State institutions were of a political organization they only' looked to tbe mental and physical development, and very properly so loo, for If they were to go Into the moral, spiritual and religious development great, and vexatious troubles of a complicated nature would necessarily arise. He did not disparage, but complimented most highly tbe great work being done by our State Colleges, but urged the great Importance of a thorough religious training of our young men and women at tbe different church Institutions of the State, as they would then be thoroughly fitted for eood and useful citizens of the com mon weatb, and would be happy and more useful In their respective homes and spheres in life.

D(femc?i Between Real and Imitation Are Marked, Color Is the most important consideration In deciding whether or not alleged delft is genuine. Blue delft must not be too blue to be real. The natural color of the ware Is a pure white. Its . texture Is of a hardness greatly resembling porcelain. The only thing In delft that Is legitimately blue is the design or figures. These are of a deep indigo tint, the production of which Is one of the secrets of Holland. For more than two centuries plotters all over the world have striven to Imitate delft and have failed. The latest attempts have been made in Bonn, Germany. "Real" delft is as different from the Bonn product as silk is from satin. In the first place Bonn delftware is soft and not unlike majolica. A slight chip in the glaze reveals its claylike texture. Then, too, the ware itself 1b blue, which is an unpardonable fault The coloring of the design seems to have spread over its entire surface. Divergences in portraits and pictures * /HfflnrMiloMnnp mnrl'a of are one ul luc uioiiu^uiouiu^ uiui*w real delft It Is all painted by hand. No machine ever comes in contact with it. Bonn delft is In a striking contrast. Absolute uniformity is obtained by the use of stencils and machine made outlines. Contrary to the belief of some collectors, there is no intrinsic merit in old delft The kind that comes from the potteries today is quite as fine and more beautiful in design than its predecessor. How to Shampoo With Flour. The flour Is sifted into.the hair in handfuls, the locks are divided into sections and brushed with a soft brush unftl every particle of white dust has been removed. Three or four applications of flour should be used for each shampoo, as the last brushing ought to show the entire absence of dirt The hair should be brushed every night with fine, flexible brushes which should be cleaned two or three times a week.

The same stew can be made of any wild game, using about the same amount of meat How to Make Apple Tea. Wash and wipe a good sour apple, cut into small pieces and boil It in a cup of water until it is soft Then strain the water into a bowl, add a bit of sugar and serve when cold.

Rosenberg & Co. j DENTAL NOTICE. j Dr. S. G. Thomson, t >FFIOE UP-8TAIR8 ON MoILWAIN v Ooruer, Abbeville, 8. C. r , / ' ' '"r" Good Roads vs. Bad Roads. 4 HOW TO DO IT. Let us make a study of "hills" in roads and see what difficulties they actually present, scientifically. Let's spe how many of these grades we have in Edgefield County. Here is a 2 per cent, grades ; that is a hill rising two feet in every hundred : 2 feet in 100. The United States government says "A horse can puJi oniy iour-i fifths as much on a grade of two feet in 100 as he can on a level road." Here is a grade of 3 per cent: 3 feet in 100. A publication of the government says: "All things being considered, the horizontal grade of a road should never be greater than 3 feet to 100." J However, a 4 per cent, grade is the maximum steepness generally adopted, beyond which States that pay much attention to the subject will not let i -I-"" Mq nnmnare with the grade go. Here is a 4 per cent, grane-uow Edgefield County's grades? 4 feet in 100. Gen. Roy Stone, the able head of the road departi . i of the government, recently said In an address: "Your chief difficulty is not with your road surfaces, but with their high grades. Your roads were laid out . . . without any attention to the general topography . . . regardless of grades or direction, and most of them still remain where they were laid, and where untold labor has been wasted in trying to improve * *" ? V*or? ham them. It would have been worm many minion* ?, yuu systematically and skillfully laid out in the beginning. Allyour lading roads would have been kept down to the limit prescribed for hilly regions in other countries; that is, to a 4 per cent. 8rade? ' 12 or 15 as you have them now. And if this done to and from ypur farms, etc., would have been saved." Here is a 5 per cent, grade. 5 feet in 100. The publications of the government say: "It costs one and a half times as much to haul over a road having a 5 per cent, grade as on a level." Here is a 10 per cent, grade or hill: \ 10 Jeet in 100. The government says : "With a grade of 20 feet to 100 a horse can araw but one-fourth as much as he can on a level." It says again: "The cost of hauling is three times us much over one having a 10 per cent, grade as on a level road." Yet how many, many hills we have in Edgeheld County far ateeper than 10 feet io the 100! How long are we eolnc to continue this costly and senseless aystem? 'Here is a 15 percent, grade: ' 15 feet in JOO. Here is a 20 per cent, grade : 20 feet in-100. Here ie a 30 per cent, grade : , 30 feet in 100. Let each of us compare these grades with hills that we know of alonj our roads and the force of them will appear to us. Here is a 50 per ceni grade, a rise of 50 feet in every 10'J. 50 feet in 100. We acti lally have some bills in Edgefield County of this steepne6! -Heaven kn ows what proportion of a load can be hauled up then J-ieaven kn? aws what the cost of all these hills of more than proper grad< J to us in J 5ds:efield County in a year, doubtless as in Iowa for f>ame te JW a^?.' -it $200,000. The department says: "If a road goes over a hi wnen it mi ,ght go Ground the labor aud expense put upon it are absolutel wastpn Tf ia a .rroot- orrnr try Crtntinilft tO follow tbCSC primitl^ paths. Tb e proper thing to do is to call in a good road engineer and ha* the locatio n bo changed as to throw the roads around the ends or alon the sides of the steep hills and ridges instead of continuing to go ov( them." GeD. Stone ulso says that in ono township in New Jersey he calct lated the "'hills cost the people $10,000 per annum. They have been pa^ iDg thia tax 100 years, he says, "&.nd yet they wonder why they ai poor." In. sue h states as Massachusetts, Connecticut, etc., no appropriate will be gr >ren to r< ?ads of more than abou 14 per cent, grade. Senator Maj Held, of t! His State,, wriles to the government: "Pickens County, whic is a moun tainous one, has perhaps the bet r dirt roads in the State. Ii itead of c rossing the .hills as the old roadK did, they were laid off so as U( ;o exceed a rise of seven inches to the rod. This was done by Mr. AJ salom Tt .lley, wbjle county commissioner. . . . He had this wor lone extf nding throug h a period of twelve .years. As I stated last week the hills on our roads are far worse than a''^k loles, rut s, and mod ; ihey are the chief hindrance to travel. Instead < lauling i eight or ten baJes of cotton, we haul two and three up them, i rnmenst extra cost to a 11 our hauling. As the governmenteays, we ougt o get a f ;ood road engin eer and re-survey our roads, running them aroun be bills .
