TUB WOK [R. ll. Ja. Tells About si ti Piedmont, S. C.. Oct. L'7, HMM. t Kditors Intelligencer and friends: We have been tb the World's Fair, three <>f us-thc writer, Mrs. A. I*. Dodson and Miss .Jane Long, of Pied mont. The South was well represent ed in thc generously numbered com pany that formed our travelling asso ciates, or il might have been that, a? in the case of thc noted "Samantha," "thc ear was crowded; mabie folk-? liad hcarn of "ur goin' and wanted t ride a spell with us." However, thc World's Fair was tl" bec buzzing in many a bonnet, and its music is to day thc fwectest sound wc have heard j iu many years. Dear editors and friends, this is not a letter descriptive of thc great expo sition, hut a'tpleading to every intelli gent family in thc South, that this opportunity of a life time flit not be fore the closing days of November. ' This is an universal exposition, it is not a gallery, or machine shop of America, or Kuropc, or Italy, 01 of the uttermost parts of the earth together, but from centre to eircum- ? fercucc, thc world, in all that is worth seeing or hearing. People ' should sec it. Families, amply pro vided with means, yearly pull down their barns and build greater, raise their houses and build higher, and stay at home!-knowing little of the j world beyond their back doors, or nprcading out into a universe before them. Going and corning constantly arc multitudes who propose on their trip that on return they will tell about thc exposition, but they can't nor do they try. Thc things describable arc things comparatively worthless, it is thc un deseribable that is of value. The fair remains as the individual gift to the intellect of caoh person who sets ic. It cannot bc transferred, and each must find it for himself. It is impos sible to picture what we feel when thc great panorama first opens upon our vision. When it steals our senses and wc follow it in all aspects be tween earth aud sky-an overhanging mirage in thc clouds-an uuder spreadiog plaza of Howers, light, water, fountains, merriment, a change less and changing appeal to our facul ties of beauty and eternity that all else may pass away but-this, never. Can wc portray night? The black ?ky, with its back ground pencilled in architecture, drawn by tho electrical finger of fire. Thc stars have descend ed from their mythological houses and, in coronation of thc century's apex, set themselves in tho crown cf the exposition. Tho most describable of all aro tlc various interiors of the buildings, but few who have visited will say they aro describable. Thc mind cons over tho arctic to theantarotio, ocean to ocean, shore to shore-in esoh is the ovidenoe of man or woman's soienoe or genius. Consumption Salt pork 16 a famous old fashioned remedy for con sumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott'sEmulsion is the mod ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than tkat. There is some thing about the combination of cod lireroil and hypophos phites iii ^Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts nwid has a special action on-the diseased lungs. p <A. sample will be sent free upon request.

(Joe of the New V? rk pa pi'rd ha.-? opened up an interesting discussion by asking its feminine rcud'-rs who arc married the. point blank question: Aro you a help or a hindrance to your husband f This is a regular judgment day in quiry that few women will care to face and answer honestly, for most of us prefer to deal with glittering gen eralities so far as our conduct is con cerned, and to believe that we strike a pretty good general average as a wife, rather than to confine ourselves to any specific acts. Nevertheless it is a question that every married woman may well pause and put to herself, for then- can be no other thing iii the world so important to her as whether she i.- helping or hindering her hus band. In a way it may be said that wo man's position on the subj.-ct of wo man's influence is always an extreme one. Ut, fore -lie i- married site be lieves in it implicitly. After she is married sin- disbelieves in it absolute, ly. Before she is married she thinks thai lo r husband will be in her hands like clay in the bands ufa potter, and she cets into matrimony with all sorts id' noble atnl altruistic ideas of u?>in^ this great influence for his uplifting j to the higher life. After she is mar ried, when shu finds out that sht hasn't got enough influence over bet husband to break him from chewing tobacco, or sitting on the back of hit neck, or to get him to dress for din ncr, the pondulum swings to the othct extreme, and she rushes to the con elusion that she has little or no in Hucncc on his life. Men encourege this opinion in wo men by treating them too often ai dolls to bc dressed up and playci with, or burdens to bc borne, yet it i a very solemn truth that on the day man marries he casts the die of hi fate and that his future depends o: whether his wife is going to be a bel or a hindrance to him. Very, vcr few men have the strength and abilit, to succeed in spite of their wives but almost any man can succeed i helped by his wife. Now every woman is either a bel or a hindrance to her husband. I a relationship so close as that of mai riaje there is no middled groun, am a wife is either thc ladder on which man climbs upward, or else she is iii millstone about his neck that dra? him down. From the dawu of civi ization history has been fu of thc achievements of men who wei made by their wives, and in a thou and suicides' graves lie the wrecks ( genius who were ruined by the wives. A wife is either a hoodoo or mascot for her husband, and it up to her to decide which one she wi be. Thu woman who is honest enouj! to ask herself this question : A I a help or a hindrance to n husband, must look at it from mai points of view. The first one is tl financial one, and she must ask he self: "Am I running him in debt am I helping him to get ahead, and lay up something for the future' The majority of American men mar on no capital but their nerve. Th? have seldom saved up anything, ai the bride goes to them equally empt handed. To a largo degree this pu the decision of their future in h hands. If she starts out living e travagantly, spending all that her hu band makes oe perhaps even runnii him in debt thoy will be poor to tl end of the chapter. No man, unless he has the geni of a Rockefeller, oan combat a w man's extravagance. Any woman ci throw more out of (he baok door wi a teaspoon than her husband o 'shovel in with a scoop at the fro door, and so ninety-nias times out a hundred it is the woman who s< ties whether her husband shall spei his life OB the stool of a olerk or ri to bo one of the partners. Any vt man whose husband is not getti along does well to ask herself: Am I help or a hindrance to him? Another question she may ask ht self is whether she is a help or hie rana? socially. Does she incline pi pie ta him cc prejudiee them again him. No element in life is so stro as the psrsonal. People will thiafs for yon bsoause they like y that they would aot do beoauis it ? das ye? te save yonr lifo.

I rec fewer sadder tragedies than one ones knsw of a brilliant yoong elerj man who was driven from parish parish, and finally into obscurity, ! life wrecked, his ambition shatter his nsefalness destroyed by a I magant wife who could never ? along with anybody, and who k him continually involved in chu rows an til she broke his heart i killed h i tu. (J?I the other hand, we can all recall more than ono man ul mediocre ability who lias literally I Heated into soft places on thc strength j of his wife's popularity. Still another question tba?, a wife j may ask herself is, am 1 a help or J hindrance to my husband spiritually? I>o I keep him buoyed up with hope, or do 1 dampen his ardor aud throw a wet blanket on his enthus iasm. Without going into all of the intricacies of thc new thought philoso phy, which is a bit too nebulous for un st of us, it is still true that a mau can only do what ht- thinks he can do, and if a woman discourages his every project, if she denis, Cassandra-like, in prophesies of woe, she becomes an evil intluence that literally summons disaster. The man who feeds that his j wife believes in bim, that she expects liim to succeed and is trying tn help him to succeed, lias a moral power back of him that almost lifts him past tin: goal. Ile will return again and again ti) thc tight long after the mau . itli the croaking wife has thrown down his sword and surrendered. Am 1 giving my husband the right atmosphere in which to work, is an ther question that tho woman who wants to be a help instead of hind ince to her husband must ask ber df. Nothing is uiore pathetic than to think of what the world lias lost through women not understands g their husband's temperament. Gen erally .-peaking no Lian can do good work unless he goes out of a happy and peaceful home. It takes rest and i|uiet for thc poor nerves, worn and torn with the struggle of the world to knit themselves up again, and many a woman whose home is always full of bickering and strife and complaints ogaiust servants, is literally the cause of her husband's bankruptcy, dimply because she has worn out at home the mental strength and ability that ought to have been given to bis busi ness. Nor is this all. Meu who engage in literary and artistic careers must have a certain'atmosphere if they would do their best work, they uiust be freed from certain little bondages and du ties, aud a woman who is married to a man of this kind, if she would be a help and nob a hindrance, must stand like a buffer between him and the out side world. There is no doubt that many a great poem that might have been written bas never been written because the poet had to walk a colicky baby instead of wooing the muses, and that the tine fervor of many a novel bas evaporated between tho drudgery of having to do household chores. Women seldom sympathize with thc impracticability of genius, and that is the reason that geniuses ought never to marry. In this question as to whether a woman is a help or a hindrance to her husband there comes in the very prac tical matter of housekeeping. In the end, no matter what his talents, no matter what his ability, no matter what his opportunity, a man's power to aooomplish anything depends upon his health, and that lies to an enor mous extent in his wife's hands. She can give him dyspepsia that will make him cross and grumpy, and ready to quarrel with his best customer by giv ing him bad cooking, or she can do muoh to induce a Sunny Jim amiabil ity by feeding him on good food. Few men ever consider dietetic them selves. They generally eat what is set before them, and it is the wife's fault if the food is not wholesome and nourishing. I know a woman who married a delioate, nervous, anemic man, and who literally built him np into a splendid physique, by her in telligent care. The husband's busi ness was a strenuous one, in which at times he would be subjected to an enormous physioal and mental strain. At suoh times she surrounded him with a eare that made his achieve ments possible. The table was sup plied with only the most easily digest ed and nourishing things, no sound was allowed to wake his slumber. Everything that oould possibly dis turb him mentally or physically was kept from him religiously, and thus he was enabled to perform an amount of work that would have been impos sible under any other conditions. Mauy of the duties of life are thrust upon us, and if we perform them in j differently we have at least the excuse j of the loocditions not being of our choosing, but when we marry we do so of oar own free will and accord-we voluntarily shoulder the responsilility, and we sin against God and man if we fail uue jot or tittle. To help the mau she loves ia the greatest happi ness that any woman ?an ever know. Te be a hindrance to him is her great est misfortune. There can ba nj other erown of sorrow like that of the wife who, looking bask, has the bitter knowledge forced OB her that sha hat been her husband's evil genius, and that ho would have been happier and more successful man if ho had never married her.-Dorothy Dix in New Orleans Picayune S?ant!?
