The tourist and student should nei

famous shrine of Saint Anne d

devotees hurying to the miracle-worl;

have come to St. Anne de Beaupr<
which for 250 years has been regarde
by devout Roman Catholics wit
great veneration. Thousands of pil
grims go there annually to be cure
of their ills by the intercession c
La Bonne St. Anne, and the claim i
made that the lame are made to wall
the deaf to hear, and the blind t

the reputed mother of the virgi

a hundred years old, that a ship with

bishop of Apt in Provence. Tha
during the reign of Charlemange th
body was found and henceforth be

afterwards a crew of Breton sailor
were almost s'hipwrecked and offerinl
vows that if St. Anne would guid
them .safely, that where they landed
they would there build a shrine t<
her honor and memory. Landing a
Beaupre, these sailors proceded t<
erect a chapel in fulfillment of thei
vows. The priests "blessed" the cor
ner stone, and the then governor o
Mew France was present and preside<
at the founding of the church. I:
1670, there was sent from Franci
relics of her body, a finger joint an:
a part of her wrist bone, to be kep
in the new shrine to work wonder
for the new world in the healing an<

decades, gave way to the new Basilica

Modest Wordsworth.
t Wordsworth was present at a pub
e lic dinner one night when Ih.e was in
- formed that Stephenson, the celebrat
ed engineer, was present. While the
s latter was 'building the Skerrievore
lighthouse he had been in the habit of
swinging in a Ihammock during the
evenings reading "The Excursion."
This was told Wordsworth, who was
delighted. At the end of the dinner
he as called upon for a speech. He
r rose and said: "Gentlemen, I cannot
- make a speech. I never did and am
f afraid I never shall. But there is a
gentleman here present, Mr. Steph
'1 enson, tdhe great engineer, and if you
call upon him to speak he will doubt
I less 'tell you something that will in
t could say. He will tell you how he
s passed the long summer evenings
when he was building the Skerrievore

Origin Of The Postmark.
e Great Britain, it is said, can, with
s out fear of contradiction, claim the
e lhonor of having originated the post
a mark. The first one, which was used
1 in London as long ago as 166o, was
-a very simple affair, consisting of a~
- small circle divided into two parts.
- In the top portion were two letters
I indicating the month, while in the
- lower half the day of the month was
shown. No endeavor was made to
denote the year. and it is only by
it-e dares of the letters on which the
- mark is impressed that it is 'possible
sto fix the dlate of its use. The earliest
known w~as on a letter written in 16So.
Arsenic Eaters.
e Arsenic, as is well known, is a
r deadly poison, two grains only being,
sas a rule a fatal dose. Ye't, strange to
say, it has been well authenticated
that the human body can become ar'
senic proof. Over a large area of
southern Austria tihis is quite comn
mon. Peasant girls eat it to increase
dtheir attractions, as it is known to
eimprove the complexion. Laboring
men take it regularly and yet attain
a healthy old age. The drug has a
dt beneficial effect on their digestive
organs and so strengthens the res
0 piratory organs that these bearers
of heavy burdens find it easier to
rclimb steep mountain roads. Often
1e taken at first in secret, one small dose
e. a week is enough, but the craving
ad increases till in some cases six grains
ea day are eaten, enough to poison
e- ithree men. A penalty, however.
to awaits the user,- for once begun it is
impossible to give it up and live.
HE HUGGED HER TOO HARD.
Bathhouse Superintendent C cked
Miss Hayes's Ribs.
New York Sun.
A too strenuous hug. iti s declared,
A too sternuous hug, it is declared,
Miss Bessie Hayes's ribs. The yuong
woman is at Ocean House at Swamp
sco'tt. The young man who was the
the cause of her mish'ap is Alfred
Tirrell, the superintendent of the
bathhouses at Swampscott. He ad
mits that he squeezed the young wo
man, but says he did not mean it.
One evening while strolling on the
beach Tirell caught the young wo
man about the waist and gave her a
hug that was actually bearish in
its dhi;aracteristics. Other couples
were near and the action of the young
man caused considerable laughter up
on their part, but much indignation
upon the part of Miss Hayes.
Tirrell apoligized. Miss Hayes was
troubled by a pain in 'her side after
the hug and a physician found that
a rib had been snapped. Mr. Tirrell
said: "I met Miss Hayes for the first
time last summer. This summer we
have seen more of each other and
-have taken many walks together. It
was in a joke that I -happened to
squeeze her so hard. I understand
she is very angry at me now.
Blind Tigers Can Get Government
License.
United States Deputy Collector
John P. Scruggs of Greenville was in
Pickens several days last week on
business for the government. While
tthere he informed Messrs. Dock Pace
and J. D. Moore, residents and mer
chants in Pickens, that they must
have a license from the government
before they can sell liquor. Ordinari
ly the license is $25, but owing to
neglect on the part of the gentlemen
to take out the license before begin
ning business it will come a little
hig(her-$37.5o.
It is reasonably safe to presume
thac the license will be paid, but
whether the dealer's will care to ex
hibit them or care to acknowledge
having them is quite another ques
tion. To take out a government
license to sell liquor is prima facie
evidence of violation of the dispen
sary law. To be caught wtih a li
cense is as bad as to be caughc with
the "goods."
It is said that the deputy collector
went into Moore's place of business
on arrival and stated to himn that he'
must be buying a great deal of whis
key for personal use, judging from
the hea'vy sales made to him at l'he
Greenville dispensary. Moore admit
ted being a right heavy personal con
sumer. The deputy collector assured
him that the amount of his purchases
since the close of the dispensary must
tave far exceeded personal necessity
-liberal sales must have been made
to customers. For instance the dis
pensary in Greenville showed a very
recent purcahse of four gallons of
alcohol at one time, and quantities
of "Fust X" from time to time.
In fact it is said that the giant
re bottling concern in Columbia has
had a very wvarm competitor in Pick
ens lately. who mixes a kind of chem
ical apple cider with "Fust X" and
-.urns out as fine a brand of "Cream
of Kentucky" as could be found any
where-it is effective and satisfying.
it is sold for tihe real brand at a
little fancier price with the explana
tion that a small allowance must be
made for the trouble and risk of
handling.
It is thought that the visit of the
deputy collector to Pickens will place
a quietus on at least two local
"tigers."
Pure Water For Hogs.
Rura Home.
-There is nothing better for the hog
than pure water pumped from below
the surface every day. So much the
better if the troughs into which the
water is pumped can be flushed out
and cleansed at regular intervals.
Usually around the drinking-quarters
mud accumulates and makes a very
unhieahhy place for hogs to wallow.
WVherever cholera has existed in hog
nots there is nothing morg favorable
to the propaganda of iht germs of
this disea3e than d'rty drinking or
Iwallowi:;g quarters. It is true that.
as the hog is a no n-sweating animal.
a bath in mud or in water during the
warm wearher seems to be keenly
appreciated, and yet from this habit
we are apt o get the wrong impres
sion. The hog only wallows in mud
in order to keep its tempature down.
If clean water were available this
would be used in preference. It will a
generally pay to make some attempt a
to supply them with quarters where i
they may have a clean bath when they f
desire it, instead of compelling them s
to root and wallow in the same mud
over and over again throughout the
season. It should be remebered that
the hog is naturally one of our t
cleanest animals, provided it is given
an opportunity to carry out its own
desires.

There is t.e man who does not realize w

not realize that children must be
