Found As health talks to women become moro general, both In the newspa pers and on the platform, tho mass of women are beginning to realize what tho more cultivated have al ways known, that good health can not be found in a powder box. The externals of health may be obtained in that way, but the basis of health lie? deeper, and yet is just as easily obtained. The most important thing that a woman can do for herself, and about which sho ls often moBt neglectful, is to watch the condition of her sto mach and bowels. The weary eyes, the bad breath, the frequent head aches, the pimples, the general air J of lassitude is nine times out of ten the result o! constipation or indiges tion, or bo*, h.

Tempestuous in her nature, loving the out-doors, we see her merging Into young wo manhood. I have seen her take on her motherly young lap the dirtiest little urchin in rae school and minister to his wants, whether it be on account of a stumped toe, or the worst of it in a fight, sometimes sacrificing a handkerchief to bandage the wound ed member. She was not only big hearted, big-banded, but she was big of intellect. She could not be called a student of books, but she was the best student of human nature I ever saw. She had no accomplishments and few feminine charms, but su perbly fitted to play a part in .the world's history. With a girl of such plain face and home-spun fiber, could you associate matrimony? Why it would seem to her as terrifying as a comet. But there was never, as far as my knowledge goes, an old maid In or of Richland. If anybody here knows aught to the contrary I hope he will not tell me! She also is married, und lt has been said of her that had she been a man she would have been president of all the cotton mills. She is now what ls far better, the mother of a possible President.of the United States. Now I come to my third and last type-"The True Southern Ghi." She was, of course, the prettiest girl in the school, and bore the distinc tion of being liked by all the girls and loved by all the boys in school. Could a higher tribute bo paid her? "Her loveliness, so absolute she seems, that what she wills to do and sav seems wisest, discreetest, best authority and reason on her walt." ' mai s were marked with dig ? princess could surpass cull womanliness. She pos sessed ni he accomplishments of .acing, playing and sing ing, attentive to the old, affable to the young. She had more beaux than any girl In school, but who question ed her right to them? She was pre destined to be a great mother, a good wife. Sorrow has crossed her pathway and she who was so titted to play a triumphant part in Hie world outside, has often witnessed the sunshine through the latticed window of the sick room. Time has worked for her many mysterious eh un gos, hut has proved of what fine gold her apparently laden days were made. She is happy In the serenity of a success borne of duly to a large family, and as we have witnessed from some pinnacle in yon moun tain the cloud and rain below, so she has lived and ls living. And now my story ls told. I hope I am not misunderstood, for as much as I prize female education and ad mire high intellectual endowments, With great culture and learning in women, I am nevertheless unwilling to se?' them pasa out of their proper sphere and Invade the domain of man.

Rich and rare are tho gems she wears, And a bright gold ring on her wand she bears; But ob! her beauty ls far beyond Her sparkling gems, or snow-white wand. "Lady, dost thou not fear to stray So lone and so lovely through this bleak way? Are Richland's sons so good or so cold As not to be tempted by woman or gold?" "Slr Knight, I feel not the least alarm. No son of Richland will offer me harm; For though they love woman and golden store, Slr Knight, they love honor and vir tue more!" On she goes, and her maiden smile In safety lights her round all the while; And blest forever is she who relies Upon Richland's honor and Rich land's Pride. ' Two Pupils of Old Richland School. ( By Hello Strlbllng.) About the year 1S70, If you had traveled from Pendleton, by Percy ville, to Toxaway, S. C., yon would have passed Richland church and school house and crossed Coneross Crook at the Rock Ford and climbed a long red hill. Just at the top of this hill, on Hie right of the road, back in a splendid grove of massive and spreading oaks, stood an ante bellum throe-story mansion, with Its large rooms, broad halls and ex tending piazzas. No country home in upper South Carolina would com pare with It for elegance and splen did outlay. Mr. and Mrs. Allen owned and lived in this magnificent home. They had only one child-t daughter -Mary, seven years old, small lu stature, slight in build, a beautiful head of golden hair. She was beautiful to look upon and tho ?fort are using last year.

Continuing this road some three-quarters ot a mile, over the next hill and well down in the flat, you reach another small, three-roomed, unpretentious, poorly kept dwelling. In this home we lind Mr. and Mrs. Zoke Home spun and eight small children, with just enough land around them to make a meagre support. John Homespun was the oldest hoy-10 years old; was a boy of tremendous physical proportions, dark brown, sparkling eyes; a crude, honest and manly face, and a hidden and pent up determination in his make-up, ready to overcome all obstacles. The old Richland school was to open in a few days, and John was happy in the task allotted to him to call at Capt. Allen's gate every morning and see Mary safely across the creek and to school, and back In the evening. Many and happy were the days for John and Mary, as they spent their schools days together. They grew up faBt friends and no feat was too difficult or daring for John to perform in Mary's behalf, and no words of wish too lavish for I Mary to bestow upon John. But all too soon Mary and John were growing to maturer years, and, of course, were sweethearts. But alas! The separation. The announce ment comes that Mary ls sixteen aijd must go off to college. Soon the ar rangements are made and John goos over and tells Mary good-bye. and they are pledged to each other. For four long years John labors with Herculean strength to help sup port the large and needy family at home, and daily thinks, and longs and dreams for Mary's return. Now and then he hears from her, but the hope grows fainter. At last Mary comes home with her diploma, and John brushes up his best, coarse, honest and awkward manners and homespun suit, and calls to see her, but he finds her very nundi changed. In a few days Capt. Allen goes to Perryville and brings home quite a fancy-dressed and pol ished college-bred suitor for Mary and John's holies grow very faint and he realizes that his environ ments, his lack of culture, his lack of opportunities are playing a losing game for him. After the city chap's departure John calls to see Mary again, and ht realizes that lt is all over for bim and he goes baok home, and as h< enters he pauses on the old piazzr steps and leans heavily against tin post and looks out Into the eheerj moonlight, but within his heart al is gloom and dark despair. But hark! suddeny he lifts hil head and listens-"To-to-to. to-to-to to-to-to!" He recognizes Capt. Al len's bugle as he sounds the dlstresi signal. He listens again: "Who-wee Ye-who-wee! Fire! fire! Help help!" 'Tis Capt. Allen's piercing voice. John runs around the Imus* and looks toward Capt. Allen'i house, and the tell-tale red glare ant black smoke speak for themselves The Allen house ls on fire. Off Jobi runs, and in a few moments he ls li the burning building and finds th* dining room falling in, and they ;>c trying to get out Mary's nie heavy piano. "Everybody to th other end, and I'll take this on , shouted, and out they go. Just here John stops, hall dared and exclaims: "Where is Mary?" Nt answer. He runs to the north sid -the fire is on Hie east end-am looks up to the third story window which he knew was Mary's room Just then the blinds fly open and white figure stands in the wlndo\ and exclaims: "John, can't you sav ille? The ll. i has cut off the stall way, and I'm shut In!" John looke from the window to a tall oak wit a heavy, spreading limb running on parallol with the building, and full as high as the window. He saw bl chance. He looked back at Mar and said in a loud, keen voice "Don't jump! Trust me and wait Mary, i'll save you." By this tim all eyes were on John. He ran t the well, cut the bucket from th rope, began to wind the rope abott his arm, cut the rope from the wine lass and ran to the large oak, am like a squirrel, up the tree h climbs. Dut his hold slips an down he comes. Up again, and ll the tree he goes. Oh, he gains th limbs, and on he goes. Out upon th limb parallel with the window, ll ties the end of the rope around th limb securely and drops the rope he grabs the rope and down the rop he conies. He strikes the groom and he begins to swing himself bac and forth, back and forth; highc and higher; higher and higher-bu horrors! Look at the window! change of wind brings tho flame around the corner and now they He into the window; now they dro lundi, bul John still swings hight and higher. He nearly reaches th window, and back he comes. Ab. ha! Look! lie clasps the wh dow sill and in the window he goo Horror of horrors! Another gust ( wind and the flames cover the wii dow again, and the rope is afire. Ii side John holds to his ropo an takes the home-woven blankets o tho bcd and completely wraps Mai up in them. Ile clasps her to h bosom and seizes the rope with hot hands, and with.a terrible effort, ot the window and through tho flame and down they come, and swill clear of the ground, back and fort: Dut look! The rope is still burning the rope gives way, and down thc come. Mary's full weight on John left arm. Mary ls safe and unhui She throws the blankets loose fro her and stoops over poor John as I lies lifeless on the ground, and lalo his head in her lap and calls to hin "Dear John, would that il were n life taken instead ol' yours. On speak again and you will be all tl world to me." No answer. He hi not even breath. Sho looks heaven, "Merciful Eather, do gh hack the lifo thou hast taken ai spare John to me and for me!" si looks again and linds he begins breathe. His left arm Is broken ai ho is bady burned.

John Homespun was made half-Interest partner In the extensive farm operations, and Mary Homespun ls happy and contented and delighted to lean her frail Agu re on John's strong arm. Interested listener, should you chance to travel this old-time thor oughfare from Pendleton, by tho old Richland Academy, to Toxaway, call In and seo John and Mary. You will not find nobler and more womanly specimens of country citizenship in any land under thu sun. "Country Maid and Her Milk I'all." (By Fannie McDonald Foster.) My Schoolmates and Friends: I was asked to read a story In the back of the old Blue-Back spelling book on this occasion, but if 1 knew bow to talk and what to sny I would much rather talk about my teachers Instead of reading. I am going to say a few words anyway, whether I say lt rightly or not. With all duo respect to all the others, 1 think my Hrst teacher, lu 1883, was my best. I refer to Mar shall S. Strlbling. lt was a sad day to the children of Richland commu nity when he quit teaching and went into business. He was always so kind and gentle with tho little ones. I know 1 still have treasured lu my memory many of the good things he said to me. He not only taught us our lessons, but would teach us right from wrong. But when the occasion demanded he didn't hesitate to punish the boys. I can see bim now reaching up over the door and bringing down one of his seasoned hickories, which be didn't mind using. if any of you doubt this, ask Joe Dendy and Clint Strlbling. Not many days during the whole school that they didn't receive their share, but Richland never turn ed out two better boys. Mr. Stripling's influence will be felt in tliis community even after he has erossed over. Next was Miss Eleanor Heard, a splendid young teacher that wo all loved. Then Miss Blla Dendy. She knew full well how to handle her scholars and to punish them, too, If necessary. I remember ono day about half dozen of us girls slipped off and went to a negro funeral, and when we got back she had the switch already in her hand. She didn't use lt, however, but that lec ture! Will we ever forget it? Then Gus Shanklln taught us over by the mill. (Never could say Mis ter, because had gone to school with him, and then he couldn't look seri ous enough either. Can now, though.) Never have forgiven bim for scolding Mamie Davis and me for throwing his beagle dogs in Richland Creek, at a place where the banks were very steep, and they nearly drowned. We didn't think we had done anything, but he did. Next was J. Paul Strlbling. His was a long term and one of the most successful schools ever taught at Richland JT" h itt j graduated at Dab loh' pa ; ', i y what to do '.;?!, i. -, sclu lars and he did it to porie<l wi?. iou oui teachers were Mr. Stol irlbli ig, and two co?i<-i?c.o ucvei ?raced Rich land community. And they had their "ups and downs!" There wab a largo number of grown children In school (or at least we thought we were) ?.hat persisted In love-making and courting, etc. They could find no way to stop it. (Will lt. ever be stopped os long as there ls a good old world?) Finally one day, his pa tience being exhausted, he said: "If you don't quit Ibis courting business this will be my last school," and he kept his word, but not before he had taught two splendid schools. I re member crying all day the last, day because they were going to leave us. Speaking of love-making and heart-breaking, 1 want to say right here there was one hoy that grew up here that no girl ever won his heart. He was always ready for any fun or amusement, but when lt came to loving a girl he wasn't there. He couldn't be caught; hut all the same we will always bo proud of our Charlie Jaynes. Next came good, gentle, little Miss Lucy Strlbling. She managed her children with such ease and grace that we all loved her dearly. The Dendy boys were my last teachers-Erskine and Plumer and If in their distant fields they are teaching as well as they did at Rich land their reward will be unlimited. Didn't go to school to Joe. (Can't call these boys Mister, either, as they had been playmates from child hood.) I stopped school right there, as one of my first, schoolmates want ed to be my teacher, and 1 am still learning. All honor and praise to all of my teachers. They are still dear to my heart, and ever will be. They are all still alive and young, and in their de clining vonvs, np they count their mile-stones, one by one, may their pathway be joy and peace, and their last days their happiest, and best. Now, if you will pardon my ramb ling words, I will proceed to retid Instead of talking, as I was asked to do, my little story in the back of the old Blue-Hack spelling book--"The Country Maid and Her Milk Pail." Fingerless Pianist Wins Honors. A dispatch from Delaware, Ohio, says: Although she has no fingers on her loft hand, Miss Mayme I). Miller, 23 yara old. of Vant Wert. Ohio, was awarded the highest prize of tho music class at Ohio Wesleyan Uni versity for being the best piano player. . Miss Miller was born with no fingers on her left hand, but she has wonderful use of her right hand. The prize was won alter a sharp competition in which ten others com peled. Mrs. M. A.

One of tho most odious Character istics of Southern "crackers," as they were describod to us a few years ago, ls the habit of chewing earth or clay. When Dr. Stiles, of tho public health service, discovered that tho low mon ta) and physical condition of these people WOB due almost entirely to tho ravages Of the hookworm we learned at the same time that the ea'Th eat ing was but a manifestation of a per verted appetite. The practice of eating earth, says the Scion ti tlc American, Is not con lined to any race or region of tho earth. In America several tribes of Indians, of tho Northern as well as of the Southern continent, are given to using earth as rood. Different va rieties of clay seem to b^ preferred. The Pawnee Indians used a yellow ish clay which they shaped Into lit tle balls that were allowed to dry in the air and were then slowly roasted at the open fire. When the clay at tained a red color the halls were re moved, moistened with water and eaten, Tlieso clay halls were espe cially liked when served In connec tion with tish, and seem to have pro moted digestion. The Timmel! Indians of tho Mac kenzie river used to resort to earth as food in times of famine. Thoy dug out the cluy found in the hol lows along the hanks of the river. In prosperous years they chewed tho clay as a delicacy. The Apaches mixed powdered clay Into their meal before baking this into their rudo' loaves of bread. In South America the Indians in the uplands of Solivia ate a clay that ls nearly white lu color; this they used either raw or in tho form of cakes of various Bhapes, which aro sold in the market places. Thoy also preparo a sauce with the clay; this tiley eat with bolled potatoes. Among tho negroes of the Guinea coast as well as among t bose In WoBt Africa the eating of clay ls very com mon. The natives of the Sudan dig their favorito clay from between lay ers of sandstono in the banks of tho rivers. Tho natives of .lava proparo little cakes of clay containing ochre; these are sold in the public markets. The "hairy Ainiis," the aborigi nes of Northern Japan, mix clay with their rice and with tho leaves of va rious plants which they use as food. In Persia varieties of clay aro con sidered luxuries among certain classes, while in the foothills of tho Himalayas lim natives are constantly chewing a piece of greenish clay, willoh they believe has tho property of protecting them against the goiter. in Finland, as well as In certain parts of Sweden, powdered clay Is mixed with the Hour used for baking bread. This practice ls similar to that of the Apaches, and may really represent a relic of some early cere monial or superstitious observance. In the Ural Mountains the natives mix gypsum ("plaster of paris") with their dough. In Syria, in Sar dinia and in Troviso (the Travisium Of the ancients, near Venice) cakes of (day are sold in the markets with other food stuffs.
