Trouble Among the Seceder*. We are in receipt of a letter i rom a young woman in the Eastern part of thc State and, as is the case with a letter from a woman, the important part is in the postscript, which is in words as follows: "Has the piano for Church arrived?" The piano has not como to hand and when it docs reach Abbeville there will be "a monkey and parrot time" before it gets into the Churoh. We have a very good organ now. A piano is not in good taste and unless there are other instruments ono should nev er be put in a Church. Several stanch members of the Churoh aro opposed to any further progress in that lino. It is indeed time to call a halt when such tunes as the "Spanish Cavalier" are sung to the Psalms of David, and such a thing has boon done in this placo. Musical instruments in a Church destroy con gregational singing. Tho service of song id part of worship iu which all should take part and every substitute for the same should be opposed. Some years ago we sang in the ohoir at Hopewell Churoh, Chester County. James Bigham was the leader and J. C. Flenniken and ourselves were his special aides. One day we sang the tuno "Siloam" and did notstop to line out two lines at a time. The result was that an old gentleman arose and stalked out of the Churoh in great in dignation. He would put up with no such innovation, and did not stop un til he took his scat on tho ground at the root of a great red oak tree, ne,li the Churoh. After the benediction the first man who approached him did so with apprehension, expecting au outburst of temper. He had, how ever, cooled off in the shade of the oak and his first words were: "What's the price of cotton in Liverpool?" The staple was then Helling at 40 cents in gold per pound. If tho piano goes into our Churoh here it will take more than the shade of a red oak tree or the prioe of ootton in Liverpool to restore the equilibrium of the congregation. The Seceders won't stand every thing. We remember when an old lady in Due West left the Churoh and quit il for good because window glass wore put in it. Before that time the window was nothing more than a hole in the wall with a solid plank shutter. She thought it her Christian duty to .crucify the flesh. In the olden time if a member of the Church at Cedar Springs or Long Cane married "among the Dutch" he had to make acknowledgements to ihe session before he could partake of the Lord's Suppor. But marrying a "Dutoh" girl is nothing to what put ting a piano in the Churoh here will be.-Abbeville Medium. ? -m m When They Met. "Are you good at solving riddles?" inquired Boss of Beid the other day. "I'm not great on puzzles at any time," repliod Reid; "but what have you got?" , "Well, supposing a train leaves London for Edinburgh and travels 60 miles an hour; and another train leaves Edinburgh for London at the same time and travels 50 miles an hour, which will be the farthest away from London when they meet?" ?eid pondered a moment, and then replied: "I should say the train whioh left London, seeing it traveled ten miles' an hour faster than the other." Boss laughed, and told Reid to try. again, but the latter maintained that he was right. "Umph!'' remarked Boss, as he prepared to mount an approaching oar, "now, don't you think both trains wpuld be the same distance from Lon don when they met?" \; And when Beid thought a moment and saw through the puzzle it was well for Boss that he was several yardn away. .

Xfifanta ard Children, ?ha Kfed Yes Have Always Bd?gM Signature of ?w^^&^?^^^^^ Why do They Whine! Women are queor, after ail. Per haps even now, after fifty years cf trial, they are yet too new to money earning and business ways to adopt the best methods of conducting enter prises to success. Perhaps during decades of centuries they have become :?o accustomed to gaining their aims through tears and mournful appeals to the sympathies of others that poor souls!-they drop through hered ity into thia lugubrious ctylo when they want you to biro them to work or to buy from them a now patent shirt waist fastener. At any rate, many a woman's first essay in tho industrial world is a wretchedly unbusinesslike appeal to the sympathies of others. Say Mrs. Tobias Boby is canvassing for tho grip-it-fast shirt wai?t clamp. She comes into your presence and sinks inio a chair with tho eigh of a ioBt soul. Then she opens out. She tells you she is a widow with small chil dren to Bupport; that sho has been oheated out of her little property the moro fool she is for allowing her self to be cheated! She tells you how infirm her health is and how she suf fers from some kind of ailment. It may bc this or it may bc that, but it is always chronic, like her own down in-the-mouth faoo-a face so woebe gone and unpleasant that you instinc tively want to look away from it. She enlarges on how dreadfully hard she has to work and how tired sho gets and oh-ah-oh! till you feel as though you would rather seo a sheriff's summoner come into your house than a self-supporting woman.. Even a girl who earns a good salary too often takes this woebegone, fall to-pieces attitude. She counts busi ness hours as so much of her time that, she ic defrauded out of by adverse fate and whines because she has to support herself instead of glorying in tho fact. This down-in-'.he-mouth attitude is seriously in tho way of business wo men of all conditions. It is the atti tude of the beggar who stands on the street corner and parades his deformi ties to draw money out of people. Because we are widows with children to support, bocause we have a chronic toe ache or used to be rich and were fools enough to let ourselves be cheat ed out of our wealth-none of these is any reason why other people should put their hands in their pockets and give us money. Business is business. It presup poses that if two parties make an in terchange of labor and money or merchandise on mutually advan tageous terms, give and take, fair and square. Sentiment and sympathy have absolutely no plaoe in commer cial transactions, only it seems hard for women to learn this. It is not a hardship to work for one's living, whether at cooking or anything else. It is being a useful member of society, contributing to its economic strength. If? is something to be undertaken with pride and satis faction. The woman who has the brains and grit to maintain herself is to ho congratulated, not pitied. She is not ia the least deserving of any body's sympathy; on the contrary. Why she should attempt to draw on people's sympathies is a mystery. Perhaps she imagiues she wiii gain by it. If so, she is mistaken. All other people have troubles of their own, as' many as they can carry, and they therefore have so much sympathy for themselves that little is left to spill over upon others. A whine and a doleful tale a few times repeated will harden any mortal and close his ear against all who approach him mingling business and beggary. The two do not mix successfully. Undoubtedly the attempt to suc ceed in trade by drawing on men's sympathies has something to do with co many women's failure in the busi ness world. It does not work, it never will Work. The noble, s elf-re specting attitude is the only one. ZTho woman who succeeds is she who is prepared to give full market tidue in the trade of labor world, who keeps all lier troubles and weal cess to herself and thus gives the impression that ahe is strong and capable, who greets all tho world with a brave, cheerful, confident mien ind words, thus giving the impression ?hat1 she t?k?&^?M?g*. .

Run by Blouse Power. - Thrift is generally acknowledged to be ono of tho leading characteristics of tho nativo of Fifeshire, and it ncv was moro forcibly exemplified than in the person of David Hutton, a native of Dunfermline, who act ually proved that even mice, those acknowledged pests of mankind, could be made not only to earn their own living, but also to yield a respectable income to their owuers.' About the year ISL'O this gentleman actually erected a small mill at Dun fermline for the manufacture of thread -a mill worked entirely by mice. It was while T.isiting Perth prison in 1812 that Mr Hutton first conoeived this remarkable idea of utilizing mouse , power. In an old pamphlet of tho time, "The Curiosity Coffee Boom," he gave an account of thc way in which the idea dawned on him. "in the summer of the year 1812," he wrote, I had occasion tobe in Perth, and when inspecting the toys and trinkets that were manufactured by the French prisoners in the depot there, my attention was involuntarily attracted by a little toy houce, with a wheel in the gable of it that was run ning rapidly round, impelled by the insignificant gravity of a common house mouser For ono shilling I pur chased house, mouse and wheel. In closing it in a handkerchief, on my journey homeward I was compelled to oomtemplate its favorite amusement. But how to apply half-ounce power (whioh is the weight of a mouse) to a useful purpose was tho difficulty. At length the manufacturing of sewing thread seemed the most practicable." Mr. Hutton had one mouse that ran tho amazing distance of eighteen miles a day, but ho proved that an or dinary mouse could run ton and one half miles on an average. A half penny's worth of oatmeal was suffi cient for its support for thirty-five days, during which it ran 736 half miles. Ho had actually two mioe constantly employed in the making of sewing thread for more than a year. The mouse thread mill was so con structed that the common house mouse was enabled to make atonement to society for past offences by twisting, twining and reeling from 100 to 120 threads a day, Sundays not excepted. To perform this task the little pedes trian had to run ten and one-half miles, and this journey is performed with ease every day. In the period of five weeks it made 3,350 threads of twenty-five inches, and aB a penny was paid to women for every hank made in the ordinary way, tho mouse, at that rate, earned ninepenoc every six week?, just one farthing a day, or sev en shillings and sixpence a year. Taking sixpence off for board and allowing one shilling for machinery, there was a clear profit from each mouse of six shillings. Mr. Hutton firmly intended to apply for the loan of the empty cathedral in Dunferm line, which would have held, he cal culated, 10,000 mouse mills, sufficient room being left for keepers and some hundreds of spectators. Death, how ever, overtook the inventor before this marvellous project Gould bo carried out.-Edinburgh Scotsman. The Startling Assert Ions of a Preacher. Let two men, one a worthy church brother and the other a lodge man, bo sick in their own communities: whioh, most likely, will have the greatest in terest shown him by his brethren? It is the lodge man. Let two men, one a worthy churoh member and the oth ther a lodge man, come to distress among strangers; which most likely, will have brotherly interests shown him? It is the lodge man. A man who for years had been . an honored member, and supporter of both his Masonic lodge and the Bap tist Churoh (he also for a long time sang in ohcir) came to need in his last days. The lodge, not the church, went to his assistance, and contracted a debt of several hundred dollars see ing him through his last illness. Where is the church that has shown a like spirit of the "good Samaritan",to a brother in 'distress? A few years ago ? lady told me. that when heir husband was' sick some of his lodge brethren were with him much of the time. Not a day passed but some called. But it was only oc casionally when a church member palled; and then it whs to inquire how the sick man was/ and not to inquire if the brethren of the church could be ot ?ny assistance. A Congregation al deacon once told mo that wore he in distress he wonld go to his lodge and not to his. churoh. -Rev. T. F.

Cotton, and Frost. A correspondent writes to the Char lotte Obs?rvor: Some days ago, a par ty of Mississippi and Louisiana cotton planters at tho Hot Springs, N.C., ho tel were discussing the cotton problem of the South and whether the agita tion about raising tho staple in Africa would ever seriously attect tho mar kets of the world. A successful plant er from Tesas parish, in Louisiana, thought that Africa could not make any material increase in the yield, for, said he, "John C. Calhoun and (Jen. Hampton were both of thc opinion that cottou could not bo produced where the frost never fell, and I agree with them that frost is necessary to prepare the conditions for a healthy cotton growth." Continuing, he said that the sugnr lands of Louisiaua were the richest in the South, and yet they could not successfully grow cotton. The question about frost and fruition of tue piont was a new one to most of thc listeners and they did not combat thc assertion. A very large and wealthy sugar planter from New Orleans, and who now is also the owner of extensivo tracts of land in Cuba, on ?hoing told of thc discussion, attached but little importanco to tho proposition about tho fall of frost. On one of his plan tations, Cuba, was a cotton tree sever al years old, and the women had been gathering the cotton for domestio U60 as they needed it. On another plan tation in Cuba, ho had successfully raised some sea island cotton and sent it to Now York to a broker who .pro nounced it worth 28 cents a pound. He had only, however, tried the ex periment for one year. He said the reason cotton could not bc raised upon the loamy sugar lands of Louisiana was because the worm and bugs seri ously interfered with the growth of the plant. Tho Texas planter in this connec tion interposed a pertinent question which yet remains unanswered: "If Cuba is such a fine cotton country, why was cotton not raised there dur ing the four years of tho oivil war, when cotton was worth $1 a pound?" A Yozoo, Miss., planter volunteered the Btatemont that Mexico had grown some'ootton during the war, but could in no way compete with tho South, on aocount of the fact, as he believed, that t?tere was insufficient frost to ar rest ths rank vegetation aud bring about a maturing of the plant. There seemed to be a wido variance of views about this oottou and frost question. A large commission mer chant from New Orleans, and one weil acquainted with the farming interests of his section, said-that as sugar mak ing'was no longer profitable, and 'had but little futuro prospects in Louis iana, he knew personally of a number cf sugar plant..s who had gone to < raising cotton in tho sugar parishes, and that cotton was1 looking exceed ingly well. One friend had 200 acres another 150 acres of as fine a cotton aa could be found. The frost did not fall there. What about the cotton of Egypt, and does tho frost fall in Egypt? Wise Mother Mouse. "When we think of mice it is us ually of the trouble they cause us; we are not apt to credit the rodents with much intelligence," said a lady at thc sewing circle, as quoted in the New York Times, but I recently had an ex perience which shows that the little oreatures possess a good bit of wisdom, after all. "I had been annoyed for some time by a family of mice which lived in the walls of the bed room. They nib bled my clothes, disturbed my sleep and when they grew so bold as to go into the canary's oage and eat up its seed my patience gave out andi de termined to fix them. * 'I bought a trap and set it by the bolo in the wall. For five nights I caught a mouse, then several days passed without oatohing one, although they were still there, for they kept up their noise, although not coming into my room anymore. "I found that the trap was all right but the whole in the wall had been closed from the inside. I pulled the filling out. It was not easy work, for it had been evidently put there to ' stay, and was made of bits of pis s ter and rubbish. I kept the holo open with the trap .close to it, but next day it was filled again. "I repeated this clearing out, pro cess five times, and five times the fill ing was replaoed. It was evidently the work of the mother mouse to pre-. Vent her little ones from passing through what had proved a fatal gate to so many. And I left the hole olosed, for the mioe did not oome into my room again. - Statistics show that the average amount of publie schooling1 por capita in thiB country is 998 days. That is there would be 998 days for eaoh in habitant if it were distributed around. Fifty years ago the average was 420 days, and at the beginning of the nine teenth century it was but eighty-two days.

"Hurry up with your fare!" cried tho couduotor of a Broadway car to a mcseeuger boy with a big bundle un der his arm. "I'll give it to you in a minute," returned the boy. But as he searched in pocket after pocket his face grew scarlet. "It's in my other suit wrap ped up in this paper," he explained. "None of that," interposed the cou duotor. "You'll have to get off." "Wait a minute, conductor, and seo if he isn't telliug tho truth," said a prosperous looWng man. Meantime the boy, his face redder still, untied his buudlc and proceeded to rummage through tho pockets of his old uniform. At last he lishcd out a nickol. "You are au honest boy." said thc prosperous looking man. "Herc's a dollar." The messenger boy looked at thc dollar and then at the mau. "Not if 1 know it, mister," he ex claimed loud enough for everybody on the car to hear. "I don't want no pay for bein' honest. Besides you're too late wid de coin. W'cu you secu dat guy about to put me off w'y didn't youso come acrost wid a nickel? Keep yer old dollar till I asks yer fer it!" Then tho prosperous looking mau also got red in the face.-New York Press. _ _ - Miss Eidora Sinks, of Mareugo, Towa, has received notice that $300 000 was bequeathed to her by B. J.

He was evidently attracted to her. Sho spent the entire summer in thc West and, returning home, sup posed ?he would never again hear of her middle-aged admirer.
