The last Christmas of the nineteenth ce'ntury finds the Christian world exemplifying its founders teachings with 3000,000 men under arms and 20,001)(1 t rained solliet's in reserve. Never before in all the 1.90 years has the art of killing been cultivated on such a gigantic scale. Two hundred years ago Jesuit missionaries endowed the Chin ese imperial observatory at Pekin with a superb set of as tronomlui cal instruments, repre senting the highest flights of the science and art of their day. This was Christendoim's message to China in those backward times. Toda- the troops of Christian Germany and France have pack ed up these instruments to be sent with other loot to the mus eums of Berlin and Paris. One Christian power is desolating South Africa, another is slaugh tering Filipinos, and all together are ravaging China. Nevertheless, the reign of peace and good will is not so far away as it seemed to be. It is much that Europe and America are at peace at home. No great powers arc tearing at each oth er's throats, as they were when the century began. It is nearly 3U years since the last duel of that sort ended, and the majority of the people now living in civil ized countries have no recollec tions of a great war. Tfhat is something that could hardly ever have been said in any cen tury since the fall of Rome. And it is very doubtful whether there will ever be a great war agamn. The experience of England and America in little wars has not been such as to encourage any 'nation to undertake a big war. All the imposing masses of sol diery. which up to a generation ago could not have been main tained without devoting them to wholesale mur-der. may be only -a gloritied police, the watch-dogs of peace instead of the blood-, hounds of war. There never has been an end * . . ry Christmas whose * . .-d compare with this. years ago it would robust faith to be ~r the prospect. Eu rope was bleeding at every vein. Death had stalked over thetfields of Marengo and Hohenlinden. Little America, less populous than Pennsylvania is today, saw her commerce threatened with ruin in the clash of the warring giants abroad. The union ended at the Mississippi, and it could -not tell what hostile power might face it on the western bank. Today the great world issues have been fought cut and settled. The lboundaries in most quarters have been finally drawn. The destinies of the i-aces have been fixed. It is known that English, which a century ago was spoken, by fewer people than French, or German or Spanish, is to be the dominant language of the earth. it is known that Russian is to follow it, and that German is to follow that. These are things which the work of the nineteenth century have settled. They can not be undone. And these facts mar-k out the futur-e of history' broad and clear. It would have been hard for any Christmas seer in the year 1U40 to predict the condition of today. But we can look forward with confidence on the state of the world when on the Christmas of the year 200 the currents of destiny are sweeping forward on a course that cannot be mistaken. A hundred years fr-out now. international rivalries, as we un derstand them, will have ended. There wvill be thre-e great powers, the United Szttes Russia aLnd the British empire, amne. a inmber of ntinor ones. All North \m'r ica wvili be part of the U..nited States: all Souath Amierica wil be depend~ent upon it. The peo ple of the Philippines and of any other islands we may have taken under our flag will be Americans, proud of their citizenship. Austrailia and perhaps all of Africa. It will not include Can ada. and perhaps not India. Its political center of gravity, and perhaps its capital and parlia ment as well, will be in Australia. Its government is very likely to be republican in form. Russia will probably rule the whole of Asia, and western Eu rope may be expected to occupy toward it some such relation as that which Bulgaria now bears towardt Turkey, or which the (;reek ities of Asia minor bore towards the government of the grreat king. As the world in the 19th cen turv has solved the problem of 1)roducng wealth, the world in the 2uth century may be expec ted to solve the problem of dis tributing it. That is really much the simpler one of the two. In all the history of mankind, down to the beginning of the century now drawing to an end, the prob lem of poverty was primarily one of productions. There were not enough things to go around consequently some people have to go without. It was impossi ble to make enough to go around. There was only so much muscu lar power to cultivate the ground, harvest the crops with sickles and make shoes, clothes, nails, boards and bricks by hand. If there had been plenty of every thing it would have seemed a simple matter enough to see that everybody got a share. Now we have learned to pro duce plenty. We have mastered nature. We have harnassed steam. electricity, the cataracts and the winds. Our complaint now is "overproduction." Our trusts regulate prices by shut ting down mills. We say that we have too many good things. Under such conditions there is no excuse for failure of anybody to have enough. When there was an actual shortage such a failure was a misfortune; when there is a glut it is a crime. There will be no empty Christ mas stockings in the year 2000 no houses where children cry themselves to sleep because Santa Claus has forgotten them, and where desperate fathers and mothers dread to look their eager little ones in the face. It has been a long, weary road that the world has trodden since that night at Bethlehem a road marked often with bloody footprints, and strewn with bleaching bones. But it is ap proaching the pleasant valley at last. -"Merry Christmas" is go ing to mean :'ore to mankind than it has ever neaxt before. Exchange. How to Cure Croup. Mr. Ri.

One of the most eminent authorities n consumption, Dr. Hughes Bennett of London, made the remark that " The :ain causes of consumption are the dear ness of butter' and the abundance of pastry cooks." It is evident from this that the doctor believed that the poor nd underfed are unable to obtain sufli ient fat. wvhile the digestion of the wealthy class is upset by' their rich pas tries so that they do not. assimilate the proper amount of fat. In either case it is a question of fat. We must have fat in some form cheap enough for the poor' d easy enough for the enfeebled di gestion'of the rich. Cod liver oil in its crude condition is both too ditlicult and too unpleasant for any one, but in the form of Scott's Emulsion as manufac tured by Scott & Bowne, it is not only easy to 'digest, and pleasant to take, but acts as a medicine in purifying the blood, as well as the very best kind of The Irl R.

Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of storm and weather. it is a remarkable fact that specific warnings of every great storm. flood, cold wave and drouth, have been plainly printed in his now famous Almanac for many years. The latest startling proof of this fact was the destruction of Galves ton. Texas. on the very day named by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac. as one of disaster by storm along the gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far the finest, most complete and beautiful yet published, is now ready.

The Auditor's office will be open from the first day of January, 1901, to the twentieth day of February, 1901, to re ceive returns of real estate and per sonal property in Clarendon County for the year 1901.

Friday, January 2.5th, 1901. Taxpayers return what they own on the first day of January, 1901. All real estate and personal property must be returned this year. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the township the prop erty is in, and where the taxpayers owns realty. to insert the postoifice as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property, to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence. which aids the taxpayer as well as the County Treasurer in making the collections and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and sixty years on the first day of January, 1901, except those incapable of earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. This does not apply to Confederate soldiers over fifty years of age. All the returns that are made after the twentieth day of February will have a penalty of 50 per cent. added thereto, unless out of the county during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules, etc., and their value that there is in the county. and have same on file in the Comptroller General's office by the thirtieth day of June each year. And from that time to the first day of Octo ber each year the Auditor and Treas urer's duplicte has to be completed and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's cffice by that time, which will show at a g'lance that the Auditor has no time t( take in returns or do anything else t-uch, between the first day of March an'l the first day of Octo ber each year but work on the books and blanks. Therefore I hope that all taxpayers will do me the favor of mak ing their returns in time. E. C. DICKSON, Auditor Clarendon County. 41-3t] AnI imperfect skin is always caused by bad blood.
