The school singing books should not bother with Hippy little. "Lightly let the boat row." The shook! teach "Sweet Alice. Ben Bolt." "My Old Kentucky Home," and the like, with some of the even older ballads which Prof .Smith is sent put to collect and preserve. i These airs have survived acroBS the years, because they have tender sen timent, add ^mantle feeling. m LENTEN FAKE. Few persons observe the rigors df the old time Lent, "black fasts," ah they are called by some. History re> cords that in ancient days armies and cities were reduced to starvation din ing Lent, while having plenty of fish food, which the were so disciplined as to refuse. Historians also observe that some or the old Lenten laws were aimed quite as much to Jpronidjoj jthe pros perity of the fish trade as to assist ?.n true religious culture. So the decline of asceticism does "not invariably mean a lack of religious feeling. Edward VI of England.. Hearing to reconcle his subjects to a somewhat stricter, observance ol Lent, very sen sibly remarked-that abstinence froni meat saves much flesh, and encour agea the use of fish. In these times of high cost meat, the family that ob serves Lent according to the older ideas will gain not merely the benefits that come from self discipline, but may learn that one may do very well on substitutes for meat., . .

But ~ comparatively few families cook fish nicely. Too, often it is merely dried in the fryittj pan,! a loathly object At eeaaho^e^b^s] where these arts ure studied, appetiz ing Baissa are used, and the constant | succession of fish food is usually pop ular. No doubt there are still left a good I mp.ny people who modify their diet) a good deal during this period of fast ing. Let no une deride their absti nence If they find it helpful. Anyj form of self control mako? one "lore truly the master of his own life, and] it reduces the sway of the fleshy, in stincts-which so often are a foe toj human usefulness and ambition. - f THE SHH>ERN LE Thex>ld-Vtlnie novel took a very high moral' tone.

Sex feeling Is a big element In hu man life, but it is sot everything. As life grows more complex with its struggles of business, society, politics, a great many other Interests meet and clash and create dramatic situa tions worthy of fine fictional treat ment.. The bcBt fiction writ?s are] giving more and more prominence ko\ those other aspects of life. Ten years ago the railroad station news stands were covered t with long libraries of paper 10 and 20 cent novels.' Now they are apt to be put under the counter, while the news dealers displays newspapers and 11-. lustra ted magasines. It is compara tively rare today to see a man reading a novel on the train. Perhaps one trouble Is that modern writers have given the sex motive such a morbid prominence that It snrfotts healthy Inlnded people. ?s sosae-otie has said :the mod?ra novel is too er*llc7T?euro otic.

A ?V. . Railroad Spartanburg Herald. -For the last three years the Charles ton and w?\',tern Carolina railroad has been spending money on improve ments. The road has built new and adequate terminal facilities in this city, and in. Greenville and Anderson, and In addition much money has been spent on its roadbed. Now. the an nouncement is made that the road is to he taken over the Atlantic Coast Line, with which system U has been allied for many: years, and further Improvements are. to be made. Thoae who patronize the .road will be par ticularly Interested In this statement that its rolling stock will be improved and that It is to.have modern equip ment, especially passenger equipment, its trains are now far from attractive.! Its coaches are old and its baggage! and mail cars are out of' date long 1 ago. All of which detracted from; the road's popularity as a passenger j line and caused it to be little used by through passengers. To those who know the C. & >V. C.I and realize that it touchea the three] best towns in upper South Carolina?. Spartanburg, Greenville and Ander-] son?connecting them with Augusta' Port Royal, on the Atlantic coast, and! Charleston through Coast Line con nections, it Is apparent that all the] property needs, to become a distinct factor In the passenger traffic of the ataHp, la modernising. There Is no rea son why the c. * W. C. should not operste. modern passenger trsins from the up-country to the south, and we take It that thus is the plan. Possi bly iue'.iroad contemplates handling the through trains of the C. C. & O., after that line is open to the middle west thk, summer' or fall, and thus become a part of an important trunk line from Cincinnati and other cities of that region to Florida and the Atlantic seaboard.
