BACH! "Why tlie XJnmarriec Mrs. John A. Logan, There is no class of society more in need of sympathy than the bachehr* of both sex. With men it is quite as bad ai with women; neither get much out of life because they do not divide th ?ir joy or their sorrows. Nothing in Holy Writ is more clear ly defined than that it was the inten tion of the Creator of all things that man and woman chculd liva together after the holy ordinance of marriage. Men who are engrossed with the cares of business need the quiet of a home to which they can go and lay aside the worries and vexations which beset them. When they have been successful they need one to share their happiness who will accord to them the full measure of credit which is their due, and which an indifferent world never gives. If they are discouraged, they need the balm of sympathy and encourage ment whioh a loving, faithful wife is ever ready to give. If ill, who can minister to them as tenderly or as faithfully as one to whom they aro all in all. It is written: j'WbOso findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaiooth favor of the Lord."-Prov, xvii, 22. And agata, "Houses and riohes are the inheri tance of fathers and a prudent obtain* eth favor of the Lord."--Prov, xviii. I have in mind noblo men who just missed filling the place in the world to which their noble natures entitled them, beoause they never married. Some trivial or serious thing had prevented them from consummating their plans, of alliance with the woman of their O&G???, and they drifted into bachelorhood and its oonsequences. They grew tb be morose and unhappy and ended their days in desolation of heart and deep regrets. An insatiable longing for compan ionship of one who is really his mate is sure to seize one when one is ad monished by age or disease that life's "fitful fever" is soon to be over. It is little wonder that statistics prove that baohelors are short-lived when one considers that they have no one to care for them in sickness orin health. Attentions whioh are bought with a prioe are not the kind whioh are prompted by affection or which satisfy the soul and heal our ills, if they oan be healed. No matter how successful a woman may be alone, there is nothing that can compare to the glory of a wife and a mother. The report of the physicians of New York that the greater number of their pneumonia patients this winter have been among baohelor men and wpmen is not at all astonishing. By far the majority are doubtless those who have rooms and take their meals anywhere, or if they board where they room they have little Byni tby from jheir associates. Consequently, if illness overtakes them, they are alone, and only by chanco attract the attention of som?, one who will give the oare soneoessary in DU oh casca. We honor women who have the courage to toke up arms , against.the ills of life to which a?| are subject; afc the same time, howover, ono should feel dioiuclincd to encourage the pre valent disposition on the part of young women in this country to bo indepen dent of tho s tro ager EOS. On the contrary, they should be en treated to follow the teachings of St. Paul, who said: "I will, therefore, that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the home, give noa? occasion to the adversary to apeak re* proaohftolly."-L Tim., v,'14. In these 2e~a of crowded avenues in every profession and vocation, it is more and more difficult for men to succeed, and still harder for women to steer olear of the difficulties that beset them in their struggle for existence or the gratification of their ambitions. It would he easier io share the for*, tunes of a worthy husband, notwith*. standing it might be necessary to econ* omise and make sacrifices for a time. To ha ?Melded fres ?ho b u?e ?i uga of the world is worth more than all the adulation one might win if she should eventually triumph. In some women the overweening desire to dress and to indulge in the extravagances of the Wealthy destroys their domeatio tastes and induces, them to submit to. indignities at which all true women recoil. \>. If grim necessity fores* women to join the great army of bread winners, let them have an equal chance with men; Pay them like wages for like services. But sparo our young wo men from like experiences as long as possible. $ I*et them learn tba. art of nonie making and housekeeping, and they will find that fh?f,will^attract tho . toys ?nd *?p*ot of husbands *ho e^,n ?LORS. I ar? Often Failures. in St. Louie Republic. and will be breadwinners for them, ?ind who ^?i?? "love and cherish them in sickness and in health/' and give them an opportunity to develop what-, ever of talent they have in thoir homes. Far too many imagiue they have some special talent, and that they have a career before them and that they must put everything aside and devote themselves to the development of their special gift. Innumerable men and women have subjected them selves to every privation, lived in mean rooms with insufficient heat, existed on the poorest, food, to culti vate their musical, artistic talents or tastes, to find af^ir their months and even years they have accomplished naught save broken health and the loss of much valuable time. As a rule, roomers and persons who lead a Bohemian life are those who are ambitious to become famous in music, art, literature, soience or some of the professions. They are in almost every case well born and have inherited intellectual abilities, but are not praotioal enough to succeed. They do not analyse their own qualities as they should to know exactly their possibilities and limitations. Another class found living so un comfortably as to invite ill health and failure are the many young women who scorn household duties and would rather stand from 8 in the morning until 6 in the evening in a department store or address envelopes in some business house for from $2.50 to t5 the maximum sum per week-and board themselves, than to dc the housework in their own homes or for an employer, who would give them $3 to $7 a week, furnish their rooms, board and protection from insult and exposure, to wbioh every woman who works in a public plaoe is constantly subjected. Cultivate the hearts well as the minds and the domestic virtues in our girls, and we shall have fewer physio il wrecks, less scandals in the press and heart-hardened women and more hap py homes in this country. Tbe Same Thing. Sir Philip B?rne-Jones, who has written a book in praise of America, is a relative of the poet Kipling. The collection of paintings that Sir Philip showed in America during his viBit included a very une photographic portrait of Kipling, and as he stood by this portrait one day the young man said: "Kipling talked about the sea while I was painting him. He was enthusi astic over a we?k's cru?so he had onoe made on a battleship. Ho described the battleship's Sunday morning ser vice. It was ; e very well attended service, every sailor not on duty be ing there, anisV after it Was over, Kip ling said to <Pe of the jackies: 41 'Are you obliged to attend these Suoday morning services? '* 'N-no-o,' said the sailor, 'not ex actly obliged, but our grog would be stopped if we didn't." STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH.

When one of the moist reputable concerns in Andersu? ?uar?otees that a medicine will effect a ours or they will refund the -money, it speaks vol umes as to the merits of that remedy. It ia in this way that Eva fla Phar macy are selling Hyomoi, the treat- j ment that has made so many remark able cures of both acato ana ohronio catarrh in Anderson and vioinitv. Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a liquid that has to be taken with a tablespoon or wineglass.

It destroys all germ life in tho air I passsges and lungs and enriches and purifies the . blood with additional ozone. It cures catarrh of the head I and throat, or of the stomaoh, liver and kidneys. Wherever mucous membrane contains oatarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do ii5 work of healing. When using this treatment, the air you breatho will bo found like that OB the mountains high above the sea level, where grow balsamic trees and plants which make the air pure by giving ott volatile antiseptio frag rance that ia healing to tho respira " ry organs.

Remember that if Hyomei does not oura you Evan's Pharmacy will re fund your money. This is a good time to cure catarrh by this natural method and prevent oatarrhal colds that are so common at this season. -r-rrr-\.m,\m). i-T- : - A?tfrl is pretty sure she can read a man's'thoughts when he hasn't any.. - There'* nothing M disgusting 9 girl as. a young man*s>ioie for an Acquiring The Ar? of Swimming. A swimming instructor reports that every sutsmer moro and moro giris are learning the art natatorial. .Noth ing promises better for the futuro of tho raco. Swimming is ons of thc moBt healthful of physical exercises, likewise one of the most graceful and useful. Besides that, the woman who can swim wei' has acquired that moo tai self control whioh her Bex needs as muon, as anything to-day. Miss Margaret McDonald, a New York city giri, is a better swimmer than any men, exoept a few of the most expert. Last summer she de feated four men who started with her in a five mile raco. She has swum across the Hudson river with the tide running powerfully upstream. When friends accompanying her in a boat begged her tc give it up she replied, "I'm going across if I'm carried half way to Albanj*." She reached tho opposite .shore three miles above where she started. Once in record time Miss McDonald accomplished a seven milo swim. And in the break ers off Manhattan Beach this young lady saved the life of a man who was drowning. She made bi - first prom ise not to grasp her; then sho took him by the collar of his bathing suit, turned him upon his bsok and towed him to safety. Miss McDonald's power, skill and fearlessness in the water are largely th J result of long practice. Her mother is the proprietor of a swim ming bath establishment besides the Hudson river in upper New York city. The girl never had to overcome any "panickyness" in the water, because she learned to swim before the con sciousness of fear had awakened in her. The panioky fear, the dread of they don't know what, seises thous ands of women when they try to swim, and if there was any possible way for them to drown no loabt they would do so. Fortunately, however, a wo man could hardly drown if she tried to do so at present day swimming pools and bathing resorts. In learning to swim the first thing is to overcome the fear of the water. Many a girl does not have this, and she is luoky indeed, for all she has to do then is to become familiar with the arm and leg strokes. These of them selves are pimple enough and easily learned; the skill and speed comes by practice. In oase a woman lacks confidence in the water and is inclined to he soared the unwisest possible thing is to "duck" or frighten her suddenly. Suov i shook to the nerves may dis courage her permanently. The same is true with regard to a timid child. Don't frighten it if you wish it to become a good swimmer. It must not be forgotien, either, that a woman of any age-ninety, if the has the grit-may learn to swim. Every year many middle aged and elderly women acquire the art, with great benefit to their health and phys ical activity. Numbers of ladies take to swimming to reduce flesh. If you are timid in the water, just heoome accustomed to it. Go into it every day and paddle around in it. Wade into it as far as you can with out becoming soared, then walk around, paddling with your arms. You will shortly feel quite at home in it. Remember to keep your arms un der the water and your fingers close together. The breast stroke oan be learned while you are wading about. Pat your palms together in front of your breast. Then, palms still in this position, thrust your arma straight out in front. Then part them and swing eaeh away round to your side. As you swing the arm around revolve the wrist so your palms will ba turned backward. A good swim ming teacher is of great assistance, and there are always swimmers who will help you.-Exchange. A Child Teaches a Bishop. . - The new elected Methodist Bishop, Dr. William Burt bf Rome, ia noted for his eheerful and plaeid manner. Nothing ever ruffles him. He is never heard to complain. L A clergyman ec-splimented Dr. Burt one day on his good disposition. "You never growl about anything/' he said. "No matter what kind of a mo ai is set before you, you eat it cheerfully. If you are feeling poorly you1 conceal it. How. did you manage to acquire such a fine habit.of good humored tolerance and resignation?" "Maybe the remark of a child that I once overheard helped me to learn io complain j and grumble as little as possible," said Dr. Burt. "While I was studying at Wilbraham academy I spent a few days with tbie child's father---? good man, but a ohrocic growler. We were al) sitting in the parlor one night when the question of food arose. The child, a little girl, told what eaoh member of the houp* holddiked bast. Finally it came to the father's turn to be described. " 'And what do 1 like, Nanoy?' he said,, laughing.

Further than this Mr. Bristow would not dis CUBS the adjustment the department is now making in the classification of the oarriers^ The following statement regarding tbs ou??iue business privileges of the rural oarriers was issued at tho Post office Department today and au order in accordance therewith will be pro mulgated at once by the Postmaster General: "Under tho law rural carri?re are not permuted to solicit business or re ceive orders of any kind from any person, firm or corporation, and oin not, during thc hours of their em ployment, czriy any merchandise fer hire, except that they may carry mer chandise for biro at the request of patrons residing on tLcir respective routea, provided the same shall not interfere with the proper discharge of their official duties and under such regulations as thc Postmaster General may prescribe. "Under thiB provision of the law no mailablc matter may be handled by rural carriers while serving their routes, unless the proper postage has been prepaid, with the single excep ion of oounty newspapers, whioh, un der the law, are permitted to be car ried free throughout the county in which they are published to actual subscribers, and such newspapers ad dressed to subscribers, residents on rural routes, must be deposited at tho postofiioe, the same as papers for other subscribers. "The hire for m G rob undi no carried on request of the patrons of rural free delivery must be paid by the patron, Carriers will not be permitted to re ceive any compensation from the sell er of snob, merchandise. "Articles or paokages whioh are mallabie whioh are handed to the car rier or deposited in the postofiioe or io a rural letter box or in a collection box located on a rural route, with re quest that the rural oarrier deliver the same, are subjeot to the rules regelating mail matter, inoluding the payment of postage thereon. " Articles or paokages, that are not mallabie, which the patron desires the rural oarrier to carry, must be de livered to the oarrier in person, and in carrying merchandise for hire rural oarriers are not permitted to leave their routes as offioioally laid out to accept anything that will ia any way delay the delivery of the mail, or in any way interfere with the efficiency of the service. Political View of the Trop. Washington, June 9.-The cttect of cotton production on the cou-?ag cam paign is a Bubject that has proved in teresting to politicians since tho state ment of the department of agriculture was issued last Saturday. Tho con sensus of opinion on the part of both republicans and democrats is that, BO far as the inoreased ootton yield of the ooming year oonoerns the politioal world, it will tend to the advantago of the republican candidates in that it indicates conditions that will make for added prosperity for both the South and the North. The cotton report of the depart ment of agriculture shews ca increase of the area planted in cotton of 2,800,000 acres compared with last year. This brings thc area planted in cotton up to over 31,000,000 acres, j which breaks the record in thc history I of the industry. The crop of last year was wortl $000,000,000 or $100,000,000 mou than the crop of the previous year During the year cotton has reached tho highwater mark of 17 cents t pound, and it is now worth ll l-l cents. Uuder ordinary conditions thc in crease of the acreage of ?.8 per cen! would result in breaking tho markel to a disastrous degree, but the oottor. supply being depleted all over tb< world with a shortage of cotton goodi produces condition, in the opiniot o? ooiton experts, that will preven thc lovering of the price beyond a pro fitable margin for the producers ant making the value of the total yielc about as great aa was the value of th< orop in the present year. The Legend of Leap Tear. The origin of the peculiar woman'i right of leap year is said to date bael I to the fifth century. St, Bridget, so the story goes, wa troubled beoause the women undei her charge insisted on their right o proposing to the men. Accordingly she went to St. Patrick and beggei him to settle the matter by fixing cei tain seasons in whioh women migh take the initiative. St. Patrick prom ised then every seventh year, bu then, pleased by the persuasive ck quecue of St. Bridget, he said the should have the longest year in th oaleodar, aud that was every fourt year, when February had an exti day. }?J?j? gS *T ys?
