W.O. T. U.DEPARTMENT. Conducted hy (he ladies ut' the W. <'. T. I'. of And? ison, S. C. It IMtotli Like a Sei peal. "Temperance is all right," said the Young-Man-Wlio-Wants - to-be-Liber al, "but there is so much crankiness and fanaticism sh wu about it that I don't wonder that it makes such little headway. Now, I. was brought-up to think that a man who even smelled of a wiue bottle was already in the dev il's clutches. When I was a little youngster I used to hold my breath when I went past a saloon for fear that . del Satan would bob "?it and get ?ie'. Hut when 1 began to knock about tho world a little. 1 found that there was spine very respectable people, wh ? ?lid not think exactly as 1 had been taught. 1 found that there wore gentlemen who had taken a drink -every timo'thcy wanted it, for year.-, and yet were not -ut- nor drunkards. I found that thc case had been made put a great deal worse than it really was, and then all the good temperance lessons I had been taught went for nothing. Don't you think that a great deal of thc tem perance talk overshoots the mark." "Well," replied Uncle Bcz, "I have no doubt that some of us feel so strongly ou this subject that we may deserve the name or 'crank' that you i are so ready to apply to us. The men and women who are especially inter ested in temperance, have not all the wisdom in the world, and it ta barely possible that some of us make" a few mistakes, sometimes, just like other folks. But, bo that as it may, it is still a fact as true 'now as when the Proverbs of Solomon were written, that 'wine is a mocker, and whoso ever is deceived thereby, is not wise.' "It seems to me that if a man or boy would only look at this question fairly in tho face once, it would just about solve itself. If a man really appreciated the fact that he is making a fool ol'himself, ho would bo ashamed to start on that road. "When you get right down to the bottom of it, you must admit that the man who tampers with strong drink risks his all-and for what? Oh, yes, he is risking everything that he holds dear. No man in his senses can tell you that a fellow can drink it or.'let it alone. A great many brighter?-and more determined fellows than you aro have found that they cannot let it alone. Of course, not every man who takes a drink will die a drunkard, but he -runs that risk! You know that. A good many of tho-drink-or-let-it alone fellows will die drunkards. Some of the fellows you drank with lust night will, in all probability, dio drunkards. Will you? You may. Why take the risk? What do you gain? Honestly . nd truly, now, con fess to yourself; do you really caro for the stuff? If you were alone on a des ert island, where the brooks ran with it, how often would you touch it? What pleasure does it give you beyond the pleasure of swaggering up to tho bar and of having a dark-brown taste in the morning? Does it pay to run any risks for the pleasure so slight? Isn't the man who is deceived thereby, not wise? "Why is the drinkiog of intoxicat liqurs so bad? I'm sure I don't understand tho philosophy of it; I can only judge it by its results. I do know, howover, that it is a violation of the physical law, for tho stomach rebels, tho brain reels, the eyes be come bloodshot, and the drinker in time becomes a physical wreck, and if he keeps it up, dies a horrible death. I do know that it violates the moral law, for the man who puts liquor into his stomach becomes a beast instead of a man, and is unable to exercise that restraint upon his natural self, which is the foundation of good mor als. I do know that ir. is a violation of spiritual law, for thc man with thc liquor-befuddled brain,- loses high ideals, all idea of ieverence, and his soul becomes dwarfed. I know that. There is no crankiness-no fanaticism -behind that. It is as true as the fact that water flows down hill. There is no escape from it. You don't need a 'temperance lesson' to show you that. You know, very well, that thc young fellow who begins 'to booze' is soon ready to do things that he would not have dreamed advisable in hir; so bcr days. "No, 1 don't believe that thc drink ing of strong drinks is responsible for all thc evils in the world, nor even half of them. 1 think man usually takes to drink because he is weak- ?md sinful; I know man puts the bottle to his neighbor's lips because he is sel fish and sinful. I do not think tho banishing of distilleries and breweries and saloons would convert the world into a paradise, nor usher in thc mil lennium, but I am very sure that it would be a step in that direction, and a step is a long way, sometimes. I know it would make lifo easier for millions of men, happier for millions of women, and brighter for millions of children. You think it will never be done? Well, then, you certainly will agree that it is* all the more important that wo who want to be considered so ber-minded, thinking, sensible citi zens of the world, do our part toward keeping ita -ol), i. .-cnsible world, that Wi; exercise ali I he more ea re that we bo not deceived by wine. 1 ?: 1 * ' believe th.- ?lay will come win II thc .saloon will In- banished, rivery year thc world is realizing more and more tlie terrible waste, thc terrible suffer ing, thc untold misery thc saloon brings in its train, and -"inc time the old world is going to turn around and say, 'Why, how foolish we've been! Let's stop it!' It/nay nut happen in just the way pome nf us have had our hearts .set upon, but it will happen in (?od's good time. All this agitation, all these prayers will notgofor naught. Men will not always be deceived. Let us help along the day." JOHNKTONK M I * it Ii A V. With the Feet to the Ktist. There was recently reprinted in the Sun, from a western newspaper, a par agraph about tin- disinterment and re burial of body in a cemetery! because it bad been buried in tin* wrong way. "The undertaker," MI the paragraph said, "was a new man at the business, and the body was placed with its feet to thc west. Tin- relatives recalled the fact, and would not be satisfied until the remains were exhumed and turned with the feet to thc east, in accordance with the popular custom." New York undertakers say that hereabouts bodies are buried accord ing to the situation of thc burial plot, with tho feet to thc path in front, liowcvcr, that may bring thej^body with regards to the points of the com pass. It was a common custom in old limes to bury the dead with their feet Lo thc east, so that when they should rise, on thc day of tho resurrection, they would rise facing whence thu mm mons was expected. There are it is said, whole churchyards lilied with dead, all facing east, but will the growth of cities and of ccmetcriei lutside of churchyard buryingground: :his practice fell into disuse. Cc mc ?.cries were variously situated to star .villi, and then they were laid out ii moll a manner as to bring the lani .vithin them most advantageously int? jse. Obviously, for illustration, of ; loublc tier of lots joining at tho bael md each tier facing ou a path, on :ier of lots would face one way am ;he other tier in exactly the opposit ?ray. A body buried in auy of thea ots, facing either way, would be hui ed with thc feet to thc path upo which thc lot fronted, so that th jodies in the two tiers of the doubl /ter of lots would '?face in es ictly opposito direction, and night bc that neither faced exactl last. In laying out cemeteries there ai likely to be curving roads and tbei night be roads crossing diagonal! with tho result of some plots of irre, alar shape, and sotno triangular; at ibero are likely to be found in son iemetcries some circular plots. In uroular plot that was enclosed by otl ir land it might be that the gradi vGuld bo [made with the feet towat ,he monument at the centre of tl )lot: if, as would more likely be tl lase, the circular plot had a pal iround it, then the bodies would 1 daccd with their heads to the contr nonument and their feet to the pat he graves radiating from the ceati ind so lying as to the points of tl lompass in various directions, ri angular plots tho bodies might n ic interred with feet to a path, b engthwiso of the plot in tho longe cction; in this or irregular plots th rould be buried as they could bc mc ppropriately to the plot. But aost lots it is possible to bury tl ?ody with the feet to the path, ai his is now, without regard to tl ompass points, substantially the coi jon practice. And if a body we isinterred from ono lot and reinterr a another it would, upon its rcint? lent, be placed with its face to t root of the new lot, whether tl aced in thc samo direction or not. J tho location of the lot that govcr he practice being to bury with t set, and thus, of course, the face, /ard the path. But while thc direction in whi odies shall lie buried is nowada ommonly thus determined, there i hose who still prefer to bc buri acing cast, and who accomplish tl esult simply by buying a lot that es in that direction. - Xi:ir- York Si "One Minute Cough Cure is thc b cmcdy I ever used for coughs a olds.

In 1521 ?Jean Ktuflet, ;i <?i-? plunged Europe into terror hy predict iug a universal deluge in 152-1. "<>* u to the conjunction of several planets in a watery sign" - the watery signs arc Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. At his ominous words thousands Hod to thc mountains, and others took refuge in boats. Awiuol, a doctor of law and canon of Toulouse, even built a sort of ark on four pillars as a haven of refuge. There was no need of such excitement. No Hood came. On the contrary, the season was even calmer and drier than usual. Stoflcr, had, in deed, made a serious blunder and one for which many of hi> fellow astrolo gers, including Cardau, never pardon ed him, Stoner, however, is only one io a long line of prophets whose piedic tions in regard to the end of th? world have proved utterly false. As far back as the year 1000 many communi ties in Ku rope were driven half dis tracted by rumors that the day of judgment was close at hand, and again j in UKO, whole cities were paralyzed with fright for the same reason. Now and again during the latter part of thc middle ages the same extraordinary phenomenon was witnessed, though in a lesser degree, and ever since thc modern revival of occultism there have not been wanting erratic proph ets of tho Jean Stofler type. Years ago a Mr. Baxter created a sensation in langland by his prediction that thc world would certaiuly como to an end in 1887. Thousands be lieved in him, and great was their sur prise when they discovered that he was mistaken. Yet such is the cre dulity of human nature that their faith in him remained unshaken, and, no matter what year he selected as the Gnal one of the world's existence, they accepted his prediction as gospel truth. Equally bold, though doubtless not as popular as llaxtcr, is the Abbe Du pin, cure of the village of Dion, in Frunce, and author of,a book with thc following extraordinary title: ''The grand coup ur universal cataclysm will ravage thc world between the 10th and 2lst of September, 1800, according to the Scriptures. The prophecies of the Old and Nev/ Testaments compare with those of the fathers and with the secrets of La Salettc, in which is fore told the great war which will destroy nine-tenths of tho human race, thc coming of antichrist and his reign, af ter which the church will triumph over her enemies and the reign of Christ begin on earth." The author fixed September, 1896, as the time when the great "coup," as he called it, would take plaoe, but he added that if it did not take place then it certainly would occur before tve close of 1899. The appearance of comets have gi ven rise frequently to similar predictions. This was thc case when the famous comet of 1680 appeared. Whiston as cribed the deluge to its former ap pearance, and such au excitement did it cause among the people that Bayle wrote a treatise to prove the absurdity of belief founded on these portents. Mme. do Levigne, writing at the same time, said: "Wo have a comet of enormous size. Its tail is the most beautiful object conceivable. Every person of not?is alarmed and believes that heaven, in terested in their fate, sends them a warning in this comet. They say that the courtiers of Cardinal Mazarin, who ts despaired of by his physicians, be lieve this prodigy is in honor of his passing away and toll him of the ter ror with which it has inspired them, (lo had the sense to laugh at them ?nd to reply facetiously that thc comet iid him too much honor." M. Camille Flammarion, thc distin guished French astronomer, says on same subject: "In this century pre lictions concerning tho end of the world have several times been associ ated with comets. It was announoed that the comet of Biola, for example, ivould intersect the world's orbit on Oct. 20, 1832, which did as predicted. There wa9 great excitement. Once nore the end of things was declared it hand. Humanity was threatened. What was going to happen? Tho or jit-that is to say, the path of the ?arth-has been confounded with thc jarth itself. The latter was not to .each that point nf MS orbit traversed >y tho comet until Nov. 30, more than i month after the passage of the coin it, and the latter was at no time to be vithin 20,000,000 leagues of us. Once nore we got oil with a good fright." In.his entertaining book. "La Fin lu Monde," M. Flammarion gives a rraphic description of a collision he neen the earth and a come", which is LO take place some time in the twenty tftli century. "These two heavenly ?odies, thc earth and the comet," he vritcs, "will meet like two trains .ushiug headlong upon each other with .csistless momentum, as if impelled o mutual destruction byan insatiable agc. But in the present instance the velocity of shock will bo 965 times ;rcater than two express trains hav ng each a speed of 100 kilometers por lour." -m 0 m - A man never knows how little he s worth until tho sheriff disposes of tis property. (Junker Humor, Th? unexpected humor which ul'tcu tints th? gravo speech uf tlie Quaker is well illustrate! in a little story told of au eminent young physician of ? Pennsylvania at the time of the Civil war. He had determined to serve h?H country and leave his practice at home; but met with grieved remon strance from his mother, a sweet faced Quakeress. "I beseech of thee not to go to this war, my Hon!" she pleaded, her eyes full of tears. ' Hut I do not go to light, mother," said the doctor cheerfully, "llaui go ing asa medical mao. Surely there is ne harm in that." "Well, well," said the little motlier doubtfully, "go then if it must bc so." Then suddenly a gleam of loyalty shone through her tears, and she straightened herself and looked brave ly up ?uto her tall sou's face. "If thee linds thee kills more than thee cures," she said demurely, "I I advise thee to go straightway over to the other side, my son!" - The Youth's ( 'ompanion. Hound to lie Safe. Washington has an old blind colored mao who makes a living by traveling from door to door selling matches. As he is a good natured old fellow he has many fi ?ends, who arc careful to see that he is in ueed of nothing. One day not long ago his customers heard that bc and his family had had thc misfortune to lose their house and their few personal belongings by fire. Many offers of assistance were made. The morning following his loss thc old man was on bis beat as usual. A certain lady who took cousiderable in terest in him gave him an overcoat and some other clothes for himself and his wife. It being early in the day, the lady said, "Uncle Joe, you'd better leave these things here till you go home to-night." "No," said Uncle Joe. "It ain't no use. I'm gwine to kerry 'cm 'long." "Yes, Uncle Joe," said the lady, "but they'll be heavy and bother you." "Dat's all right, missus," said the ? darkey; "but I hain't gwine to run no chances, for I'se afraid when I gits back you'll change your notion." Washington Star. f Why Cows Dry Up. Cows go dry from mismanagement more than from any other cause. Ir regularity of milking and failure to '.strip" will cause any cow to dry off. The richest milk is last drawn from the^udder, and for that reason alone the dairymen should strip closely. Changes of food, when made sudden ly, will also cause the cows to fall of in yield; but in winter the cause may also be due to extreme cold and insuf ficient shelter, while in summer the U80 of netting in the windows to pre vent thc entrance of flies and other insects, will serve to prolong the milk ing period.-Farm and Field.
