It is but natural that the pupils in the public schools of the county whose names have been placed on the honor roll should find the pub lication fo the honor roll an incen tive to hard work during the next month. We commend to the teach ers of Newberry couity the plan of Miss Mattie Young, teacher of the Cromer seholl, wiho furnishes The llerald and News a list of her honor pul)ils.

NOTES ON THE LEGISLATURE. There remain only eleven more -days of the forty-day session for the present session of the legislature. The liquor question has overshad owed all others, unless it he the tend ency to strike the railroal corpora tions Despite these two (Itiestions a great deal of work hats been done, though .no law of any general import itlice has yet beenl nissel.

WHOOPING OOtdi, low to Handle This Distesing an Dangerous Ailmenf( It is strange how little is thoigh if whooping cough and how littl are is taken to prevent it, for it i n truth a dangerous disease. Th nortality statistics show that mor ,hildren die from whooping1 coug] han from measles Scarlet fever alon, imong what are called the disease f childhood causes a greater numbe f deaths. A child with whooping coug] hould be as strictly isolated if I ad scarlatina, and it is very wronj or a mother to take her infant witl his disease on boats or in car4 wher t is likely to carry infection to oth rs. An older child should be kep way from school and not allowed t< lay with other children, except suel s have already had the malady. It is usually easy to recogniz( rhooping cough after the disease i. illy established, for the paroxysma oigh, going on and on and on un. il the child's breath is all but gone nd then succeeded by the long nois3 ispiration, is unmistakable. The disease varies so greatly it L-verity in different eases and in dif erent years that it has been sug. ested that it would be wise to ex. Ose children to the infection in f car when its course was mild. Blu is a very serions thing to expose v bild deliberately to the dangers of di.wa-n- of this nature, for evet ia year of the mildest epide,mie at Idividual ease here and there wil e severe and even fatal. When it i, said that over sevent. rugs have been recommended in th reatment of whooping cough it ial e assuned that none of them ha ((1 formiid v r fficacious.

Yet the main reliance it he management of a case of thi! isease is on hygienie measures. Although the patient must be kepi way from school and from othei hildren. it nust on no account I) ept in the house. Fresh air and snn hine are the best aizents in the hygi nic treatment. City air is bettei han none, but it is best when possibl< I send the child to the country, wher< can beoutdoors all day and not b< wrced to inhale dust and smoke, IT tormy weather, when one must per orce stay indoors, the playroom win ows should all be wide open, and th e,lroim windows shouild also be open The food should be pientiful an( onrishing, and whenever the stomach jects a neal the patient shouho ave another at once-at least a glas! r milk anid some bread and butter. otith 's Companion.

Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the notei singer, one day in the mountains ol Sout>hern California, saw two deer al which two sportsmen were%- taking aim. Miss Yaw gave a loud shout and the deer, affrighted, made off, and thus their lives were saved by the kind-hearted young woman. A friend of Miss Yaw's, a Cincin natian, after recounthig the incident, said the other day: V"Let me tell you another story about her. When she was a little girl she visited a lady who gave her the family photograph album to look at. She turned the leaves quickly, and in a few minutes closed the book. ' 'Don't you like it, aear?' the lady asked. "' 'Yes;very much,'' said the little firl politely. 'We've got one at home,' she added, 'only the pictures are pr6t tier.',' Mrs. Newly Rich.
