Suraorous department. HE REMEMBERED. North Carolioa probably never produced an abler preacher than Dr. Francis L. Hawkes, who a quarter of a century ago was pastor of Grace Episcopal church, New York. Short, thick-set, swarthy, black-eyed and black-haired, he was a striking personage. He was not only a great pulpit orator, but considered the beet reader in the New York episcopacy. His'rather luxurious family deterred him from accepting a bishopric, which would otherwise have been tendered. One day a delegation from a Buffalo church waited upon him, and invited him to aceept a pastorate in that city. "Well, gentlemer, other things being satisfactory, the question of acceptance narrows down to a business matter," said Dr. Hawkes. "What salary do you offer.?" "Dr. Hawkes," said the spokesman, "we recognize that you have a high reputation, and are willing to be liberal. Our recent pastor has received $2,500, but on account of your standing we have decided to offer you $3,500." "My good man," cried the doctor, "do you know what salary I am receiving here ?" "No, sir." "I get $15,000 and this parsonage; and as I have an expensive family, I do not see my way clear to accept your offer." The spokesman looked rather sheepish, but made another essay : "If we had known that fact, sir, we would undoubtedly have looked elsewhere ; but you should remember that the work of the Lord must be done; and as for providing for your family, .i 1 yOU KDOW IDe story Ui -Cjiijou auu i tie ravens." "Now, my friends," responded the clergyman, quizzically, "I have made the Bible my study ever since I was 28. I have read it through carefully and prayerfully over a 100 times. I remember the raven incident perfectly, but nowhere can I find any reference to the Lord providing for young Hawkes." How. to Prevent Shipwreck.? A certain Chicago young woman teaches a class in a mission Sunday school. She has a difficult task imparting scraps of religious instruction to her young charges, and often amusing answers are unconsciously returned to questions which she asks. On one occasion she asked her pupils: "What do the high prisests do ?" And received the reply: "They burned insects before the people," by which the youngster, of course, meant incense. But one of the funniest experiences, which well shows the queer ideas which the children receive in their lessons, was given when, after a discussion of shipwreck which followed a lesson three or four weeks previously on the well known story of Jonah and the whale, she happened to ask : "Suppose a big storm arose at sea, and it looked as though you were going to be drowned, what would you do?" "I would throw a man overboard for a whale to swallow," was the reply. The Admiral's Vote.?Admiral Jouett lives at Sandy Springs, Md., where the roads are no better than ' elsewhere in Dixie. He is an ardent Republican, although a son of the blue grass state; and last election, when heavy rains had made the roads I almost impassable, he shamed the stay- ! at-homes by taking his son, James, Jr., 1 through the mud aud downpour to their voting place. Their journey home in the dark, swimming through 1 mud to the hubs, was so disquieting that they arrived profane and exhausted. "Well," said the admiral, "thank ?1 1_ I ? neaven, trmi s uvn ; ??c vc u?u ? hard pull of it, but it is the duty of every citizen of the United States to vote. Say, Jim," he ejaculated, fiercely, 4iI voted the straight Republican ticket, as usual. How did you vote?" "Father, we might as well have stayed at home and paired," replied the son ; "I voted straight Democratic." W3T A teacher was going over the good old story of King Solomon and his wisdom. "Now, dears, who was the great queen* who traveled so < many miles and miles to see the king ?" Silence prevailed in the class. ; "Why, you do know, all of you. The queen who came to see the king." The name had been forgotten by the class. In order to help them, the kind but misguided teacher began to offer a little assistance. "You do know, I am sure. The name begins with an S, and she was a very great queen." Just then up shot a little hand, and out spoke the triumphant voice of the little auburn-haired girl. "I know ; it was the queen of spades." Tried to Follow Instructions.? An Irish laborer, who was somewhat new to his work, was ploughing one day, and, the furrows being uneven, the farmer told him to look at something at the other end of the field as a guide. "That cow by the gate," said he, "is right opposite us. Now, work straight for her." "Right you are," said Pat. Coming back later on, the farmer was quite horrified to find the plough had been traveling zigzag all over the field. "How is this?" said he. "What have you been doing?" "Shure, sir," was Pat's reply. "I did what you told me. I worked straight for the cow, but the craychur didn't kape still." B&F "Why are you fumbling in my overcoat pocket ?" he asked, as he glanced up from his paper. "I'm looking for a letter," replied his wife. "Why, my dear, you don't suppose?" "No, I don't," she interrupted, "I'm not looking for another woman's letter. I'm looking for the one I gave you to mail last week." Wayside (gatherings. #6T" Dogs are the greatest wags we have.

Many physicians say that the moderate use of tobacco by adults is not injurious, but the same authorities agree that cigarettes do untold harm. "Because it is small, the small boy seems to think that it was made for him, and he smokes the combination of tobacco and paper, inhales the smoke, and in manv cases what would have been a lusty, vigorous youth, becomes a listless, nervous emaciated boy-man, with qualities of mind and body impaired, highly susceptible to disease and unfit for work or play." This is the opinion of a physician of wide experience who also said : "When cigarettes are pure and used by adults they are not so objectioual, but whether pure or doctered with opium, as some cigarettes are, they are poisonous for young boys. The tobacco and paper smoke are drawn into the lungs to the detriment of the breathing apparatus. The normal secretions are impaired, and a dry, tickling sensation in the throat is the consequence. If the boy is predisposed to pulmonary trouble there is no better way to help it along and nourish the latent disease than by smoking cigarettes industriously. The sympathetic nerve becomes affected, and through it other organs are impaired." The possible evils resulting from the use of cigarettes by boys have been enlarged upon so often that societies have been formed to prevent the growth of the fivil ?.nd m&nv emnlovers make work in their establishments conditional on the abstinence from the use of cigarettes. The sign "Cigarette smoking prohibited in this office" is becoming more popular every day, and people who have the welfare of the coming man at heart are giving the subject much attention, and are looking for aid and co-operation at the hands of parents and guardians. TELEGRAPH POLES OP THE INSERT. "Yes," said Joseph Donner, superintendent of telegraph for the Southern Pacific railroad, "telegraph poles along the line have a hard time. Particularly is this so out west, where the poles are costly and stations are few and far apart. Now, out in the Arizona desert the poles are played the deuse with generally. There is a sort of woodpecker that picks the posts absolutely to pieces, thinking there may be insects inside of the wood. They hear the humming, and haven't sense enough to know what causes it. Then near the hills the black bears imaerine that each pole contains a swarm of bees, and they climb to the top atid chew the glass insulators to pieces, but the sand-storms are the things that create the most havoc. "When the winds blow strongly the sand is drifted at a rapid rate and the grains cut away the wood at a fearful rate. It was a common thing to have an oak pole worn to a shaving in a day's time, while I have seen poles just ground to the surface of the earth during a single storm. Things got so bad out there that the company decided to substitute steel poles for the oak and cedar, but that didn't remedy the evil at all. The sand just wore away the metal on each side of the pole until the centre was as sharp as a razor, and all the Indians in the country used to shave themselves on the edge. We finally managed to fix things. Just painted the poles with soft pitch. The pitch caught the sand, and now every pole is about two feet thick and as solid as a rock." t&T Bearing in mind that the stomach of a horse is small in proportion to the size of his frame, he requires feeding often, and though three times a day is sufficient, four times is better. Unlike human beings, horses should drink before they eat, because, owing to the conformation of the horse, water does not remain in the stomach, but passes through into a large intestine called the ctecum. If horses be fed first, the passing through the stomach would be likely to carry with it particles of food, and thus bring about colic. Whatever a groom may say, let a horse drink just as much as be likes. If he be watered four times a day he will never take very much, or too much. A horse, it must be remembered, is fed on dry food, and this with the strong work done, produces a feverishness which a sufficiency of water tends to allay.?The American Breeder. a swift jttunning spider.?as a rule spiders are quite harmless to man, but one or two foreign species are capable of doing mischief. The great, hairy spider of the South American pampas, forinstance, has long, black, sickleshaped jaws; inflict severe wounds and the effects of the poison are sometimes felt for mauy years after the bite is given. But an even more objecttionable spider is found on the same pampas. It is very large, very active, and of extraordinary bad temper. It not only resents any intrusion upon its domain, but objects even to any one looking over the hedge. Men on horseback who ventured to approach within ten feet of it have been pursued for 30 yards, the spider keeping up with a trotting horse. This irritable individual is called "the kiug of spiders." Pure Water.?It is impossible to lay too great stress upon the importance of good, pure water for the cow. She is just as sensitive to impurity in food and water as any human being can be, and if men only recognized this fact and realized more generally how the quality of the food and water supplied to the cow directly affects pockets they would see to it at ouee that their cows from henceforth had the best, the very best and nothing but the best in food, water and treatment. t@T Iu the Colorado desert, says the Kansas City Star, they have rainstorms during which not a single drop \ { of water touches the earth. The rain can be seen falling from the clouds high above the desert, but when the water reaches the strata of hot, dry air beueath the clouds it is entirely absorbed before falling half the dis tance to the ground. It is a singular sight to witness a heavy downpour ol rain, not a drop of which touches the ground. These strange rain-storms occur in regious where the shade temperature often ranges as high as 128 degrees Fahrenheit. It is the boast of the dairymen of Holland that in their country there is a cow to every inhabitant. That is worth speaking of, for the cow brings comfort and prosperity into farming the world over. Some towns in this country could boust a dog to every family, but, says The Ploughman, they do not usually care to say much about the fact. The food that some dogs eat, together with their license money and the cost of the damage they do, would almost equal the keep of a cow. *AKlN<i POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Being one of the cleanest, most enterprising and reliable newspapers In the state, it is natural, therefore, that THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be one of the most popular. Ninety per cent, ol the families in the county desire it as a regular visitor to their homes, and all those who can afford It, may reasonably be looked upon as probable subscribers. One of the most serious drawbacks, probably, is the inconvenience of writing letters, sending money and attending to the matter of subscribing at the proper time. It is this fact that makes it especially desirable for us, Just at this time, to secure the sen-ices of a large number of intelligent and energetic assistants, and to make it worth their while to give the matter their attention, we are making the liberal offers which we will presently explain. The price of a single subscription one year is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual who does not give his name to a clubmaker; but sends it direct to this office. In clubs, however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR AND SEVENTY-FIVE GLINTS. That is the price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker, and the price which, under all circumstances, he is expected to pay us. Now to our propositions: THREE BIG PREMIUMS. This year we offer three big premiums. One is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY. Another is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR ORGAN. and the third is a FIFTY DOLLAR WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker who gets up the largest list of subscribers, new and old. The Wagon will go to the clubmaker who gets up the second largest list, new and -14 - As?on will crr\ tn >iA nlnhmftbpp WiU j unu liic vi|f;c?u nil* qv VMW whose total list shall show up the largest number of NEW NAMES. The organ contest, however, will be separate and distinct from the other contest. In that the winner of this premium will still have the right to count his entire club. Including both old and new names, In the contest for the Buggy or Wagon. To be more explicit. It Is possible that the clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be the winner of either the Wagon or the Buggy. It Is also possible that the Organ may be won with less than 20 names, together with one of the smaller premiums. FULL PREMIUM LIST. But this is not all. In addition to the premiums offered for the LARGEST AND SECOND LARGEST CLUBS, and the largest club of NEW SUBSCRIBERS, we also offer other valuable premiums for a given number of subscribers. This, it will be seen, ensures that the clubmaker who starts out for one of the larger clubs and falls short, will not fail to be paid for his time and trouble. Here Is the list in full, followed by the conditions below : $75.00 BUGGY. To the clubmaker who returns the lareest number of names, will be awarded the BEST BUGGY manufactured by the Carolina Buggy Company of Yorkville, S. C., for 875.00. The Buggy may be taken out of stock or manufactured to order at the option of the successful Clubmaker. $50.00 WAGON. To the clubmaker who returns the second largest number of names will be awarded a WHITE HICKORY TWO HORSE WAGON, valued at 850. The wagon Is the equal In every respect of any other to be bought at the rrice named. S75.00 "LA BELLE" ORGAN. For the largest clubof NEW SUBSCRIBERS we will give one WILCOX <k WHITE ORGAN, known as "La Belle." and worth 875.00. This Is the same Instrument thnt Is being sold by Mr. Geo. T. Schokb, and which Is giving such perfect satisfaction to all who have purchased It. It has live octaves, two complete sets of reeds and octave couplers, and nine stops. The case Is of black walnut, ornamented with bevel plate mirror, and In tone, workmanship and durability, the instrument Is equal to any reed organ ever sold on this market. With the organ will go a handsome stool, for which there will be no charge.
