Secre tary window killed himself by drinking ice water at the close of hin speech before the Chamber of Commerce. No person when heated should swallow ice water until (he heat of his mouth has taken the chill from the water. Sumo years ago tho opinions of about thirty physicians were given. A little less than half said the use of iee water by persons who arc heated is dangerous; the other half Said it is not so?a fair statement of the diversity among physicians col Icuted in that way. But that any person who understands physiology, especially the relation of the[Sympa thetic system to the brain, and , through it to the lungs and hearty can believe that pouring water at a temperature of a littlo above thirty two degrees into the stomach, the 'jioriuul temperature of which- is neatly ane hundred, can he other wise than dangerous [and especially milk, which, whether used excessive ly hot or excessively cold, produces a more powerful effect than water at the same temperature], simply shows that kimwledge has much less influence up?ii opinion and practice than is generally supposed. Ice water, other iced drinks, and ice cream, taken slowly and in mod erate quantity when one has partly cooled, ate not injurious. That some constitutions can endure ioe water TaJMJy swallowed only shows except fnvnl strength. No sensible man will g?A far astray who treats himself us hfr-vwwM. VrVa ViW&trTn such matters as this. ?Deep Breathing. 1 have always remombored the remark of a singing-school teacher under whoso instruction I sat when young. Ho was at that time a large, Itrong man with full chest, hut in giving his pupils the advice to practice deep breathing, declared thai he had been-at one time a con sumptive, and had cured himself by deep breathing. I have followed his advice more or less, and credit the health and soundness of my lungs partly to that, and no doubt my entire freedom from sickness for many years is in part due to this practice. 1 would not claim for deep breath ing what many of its admirers do. It. is not a universal panacea, but lung and heart diseases, and even dyscpeptsia, may he greatly helped By it, not to speak of its excellence as a preventive. There are poison ous exhalations in the lower lungs which, if allowed to remain must not only affect the lungs where they are, but will get into the. blood, and thus poison more or less the whole system. Deep breathing not only carries off t his cause of malaria from the lower lung, but supplies in its place the oxygen which the system needs for the disposition of waste matter in other parts of the body. It should go without saying that the air must be pure or it may carry poison into the 'lungs while it is carrying the exhalation away. Be not frightened if when you first try the expel iment, you become a little dizzy. ?s- an elocutionist used to ?tei+-as,.it is only a surprise to your lungs which., they do not at first know how to understand?'^he Iftmsekeepor. '?Be Good to Yourself. This is a common admonition, and it is full of important meaning. A man should take as good care of himself us he does of lus horse; but how few do this! If you do not take caro of yourself, no one can take care of you. Take care of your body. Consider its needs. "Make up your mind (irmly not abuse it. *f| at .nothing that will hurt it; wear nothing which distorts or pains it. Do not overload it with victuals, or drink, or work. Give yourself reg ular and abundant sleep. Keep your body warmly clad. At the Ii i st. signal of danger from any of the thousand enemies which sur round you, defend yourself, Do not ake cold ; guard yourself against it; if you feel the flri?t symptoms, give yourself heroic treatment; get into a line glow of heat by exercise. This is the only body you will ever have in this world. A large share of pleas ure and pain or life will come through the ubo you make of it. Study deeply and diligently the hI incline of it, the laws which "govern it, (he-pains and penalties which will surely follow u violation of every law of life and health." (HQlify God in your body, and let your body he u temple of the Holy (iliost, that God may dwell in you fihd walk in you. Tin; Farmer's Boy.?" 1 agree with Charles Dudley Warner that a farm without a boy would quiekly come to grief," said Peter .J. Mills don. "Just stop and consider for a moment what ahoy on a farm is required to do. It is understood; in I he flrs ( place, t hat he is to do all the efrands?to go to the store, to the post office, and to carry all sorts of messages. If he had us many legs as the centipede, ii is my private opinion that ' every one of them! would he thoroughly tired out by night. He is the one who Spreads the grass when the men cut it; he stows it in die ham ; rides the horse to cultivate the corn up and down LjJui hot, weary rows; he picks up hUui tomatoes wl.cn they are dug; ho und water, und tirea bis back out splitting kindling. No* matter where he is, in the house or out, there is always work for him to do. Before he goes to school in winter he shovels the paths, and injguiitnier turns the grindstone. Vet tin* fur iner boy has a happy life, iu spite of all, and he is the .stuff great men are made Of. If.it were not for the fresh, young blood of the country, 1 am afraid the city would run to seed.'* Typhoid Kkyku and Society.? Typhoid fever, like death, is no re specter of persob.i. A lay journal laments the fuct that this very dem ocratic disease has attacked several members of " society " during tho pas] fall, and has thereby interfered sadly with many high sociul func tions. Dr. Samuel Wilks, in a recent address, asserts that typhoid fever seems to need no socially adapted soil, bnt seizes upon the vigorous und healthy us quickly as upon the weak. This is the general experience, though as age increases some immunity is experienced. Most intelligent persons nowadays know that typhoid is communicated through what we eat and especially through what we drink. In the houses of the intelligent and of the wealthy, and in many well con ducted hotels, sterile' waters are largely provided. Yet the disease continues to affect the rich and the pogr. This only shows that the watchfulness is not complete enough; it is easy to forget \vls?n the enemy is a subtle and in visible one, and one that lurks in dark and unexpected places, as dp the germs of enteric fever.?Medical Record, "Faithful Unto Dkath."? When the steamer Birkenhead with a regiment of soldiers or. board, struck upon a rock on the coast of Africa, it was thought from the mo ment of the first rasp and shock that it could not keep together many minutes, and orders were given to fit the emergency. The roll of the drum called the soldiers to arms on> the upper deck. It was promptby' JibeyevV by aU, fchoYigVt saak ?wfc k&sw that it was his death summons. There they stood, drawn up as in battle array, looking on while boats were got out, first for the women and children, next for the other passen gers?no boats left for them! There they stood, firm and culm, waiting a watery grave.The boats pulled off in safety, but on that solemn deck the soldiers still kept their ranks motionless and silent. Then down went the ship, and down with it went the heroes, shoulder to shoulder, firing a parting volley, and then sinking ?beneath the remorse less waters:?type of spiritual sol diers doing their King's commands, and being "faithful unto death."? Doctor Stanford. THE Mouth.?If people would wash out their mouths twice or three times a. day with an antiseptic solution, there would not be near so much 'sickness. A physician says : " I have never hud a cold, sore throat or.'"fever, and 1 ascribe this immunity solely to the fact that I follow this plan rigidly. There are any number of proprietary antisep tics that arc excellent for this pur pose. One of the best is carbolic acid. A very weak solution of this gargled and held in the mouth two or three times a day'will work won ders. Immediately after using, one will And that the mouth feels clean er. I believe that a great majority of the common, throat and lung troubles come from the lodgment of disease microbes within the mu cous membranes of the mouth. The free use of antiseptics will kill these germs." Till?) WKATHKlt ANI> CKOl'8. The following Is tho report of tho weather bureau for the week ending July Oth.

Thero were a fow places that had not enough rain, and whore the staple crops woro ?mall and un satisfactory, but the lato ralna of the 7th and 8th (Sunday and Monday) no t o douhl reached most of those places; eaunitig murked improvement. There are reports froth lVokeiis, Greenville, Lauren*, Union, York and Cilest? iTiold counties of ?t>rlou? injury to the cotton plant by lice Those Insect? ha?'-' appeared in lo cal itiet, whore thoy woionever before known. Whom Holds arc said to have. been ruined in a short time, as the lice spread with marvellous rapidity. Lico have about disappeared from other portions of the State. Worms are still injuring corn In tho northern and wostorn counties. Tho temperature ranged below tho normal on overy day of tlio week : the departures were front 0 -to 8 de grees on the 2nd and 3rd, and gradually became less until on the 8th (Monday) thero was but little change from sea sonable.

I The highest temperature reported was 05 oh the 0th>. at McColl; the lowest, .Mi, on tho 4th at C ho raw. This ' is a /cry low temperature for the first i wook In July. Tho mean temporaturo of tho week for tho State was about I 77.6. and tho normal for the . huiuo ; porlod is approximately 81. ) Tho rainfall of July 1st, which was not orabodled in last week's bulletin but appears in the average for this, [ was quite goneral over the greater portu n of tho Stato oxcopt possibly ' on tho middle, coa-it.. It proved highly bonoflolal, having been generally needed. During the week there wore but very light showors at best, or none at all, until the rains on tho 7th and 8th, which woro but very t imely. The extent of those rains cannot be de termined at this writing, but will be disoussed In the noxt bulletin. Thoro were Jf> places that had over l 00 of rain ; f> that had over 2 Indhcs. These heavy rains woro distributed widely separated portions of the State. Tho heaviest fall roportcd was t.tKi inches at El lores, Orangeburg The Conditions are Uniform Promising In. iIi.'h State county. The average of 41 places reporting rain, and excluding about half of tue 7th and all of the 8th, waa 1.00, and the normal for the same period in approximately 1.32 inches. No destructive wind or hail ?terra* were reported during tho past week. There was scarcely an average amount of sunshine, although incluu log the wt.ole State, nearly so. There wua least cloudneud in the central and northeastern counties, and moat in the Gwoixla border and extreme western counties, and in Berkeley where- there was but -?"> per cent, of the pot-sieh-, while in llorry there wa? 9o per eont. There Is hut little change to note in the condition of crops, but what change there is, Is toward betterment gener ally, except ovor a comparatively small area where Insect* and want of timely rain caused positive injury or retarded growth. Of cotton, it is universally said that it la very small but healthy,- and where well fertilized looks promising. It is putting on squares freely, but Is slow to bloom in tho up country ; blos somiug is general in the eastern portions of the State. The crop is geneially well workod and free irom grass. Aside from Its bel?g under ?u/cd, Its condition is all that could be desired. Corn is doing well generally. Early plant in,-; is being laid by in excellent condition. In a few. localities it was too dry, but this Is exceptional. Later corn looks lino. Some corn planted In stubble land jujt .coming up aun some still being planted. In the eastern counties the crop is almost mado. Small grains nearly all harvested and threshed, with a yield below an average crop for wheat and oats, con sidering tho State as a whole. Watermelons are ripening uud will bo roady to market, from the southern portions of the State this week. The crop is not uniform, being large in lo calities and only fair In others. Tho indications are that there will be large acreage devoted to peas this year, both us a forage crop and for fertilizing purposes. Sugar cahu and sorghum as well as rleu are growing well and look prom ising. Tho aoreago devoted to rice is larger thaa last year. The tobacco crop is . - V,ue, and is being harvested and toured.

" Tho best laid sohemes of mice and men," etc., u plan that succeeds one year .may fall the .next. A great deal depends upon the seasons. "There can tu? no doubt that when successful the second crop is the better, and It Is decidedly the best for seed for spring planting. In roply to one of your questions, I quote from tray) Bulletin No. 0, issued in March, 180.1, by thlsSWtfoo.:, "The great ditlleulty is In getting a stand early enough for the plant to mature before frost. This can usually bo had (a) by bedding, out the potatoes just after digging, as you would sweet potatoes, except that you need no manure, and keep the bed dump, (bj Spread tho potatoes close-together on an oven surface and cover two to three inches deep witn hay, straw or pine noodles, arid keep them moist, (c) Spread them In the shade, where tue morning sun only cai. reach them ; let thein remain until they begin to sprou*. In any case plant only whole potatoes ; and not until tho eyoB show signs of gerinluation, cover very shal low, say half inch to one inch deep." 1 can add very little tq the above advice, except to correct what may be an on or. The advice to plant '* whole potatoes only " was based upon~my own practice and the opinion of many olo and successful potato raisers, thej ?laving stated that they had'frequently tried cutting tne. poiutoo lor a second crop, und every instance bad failed In 1893, niter this Bulletin was published, a friend of mine living on the college grnnuls, being short ol seed, cut nis potatoes to one and-two eyes. He planted at the same time thut I did, bis seed were cut, mlnn wero whole. The result was that his came up to a good stand and mado a good crop, while mlhe lay dormant until near frost, in faot, some of them until after frost, and made nothing. Neither of these were sprouted. In 1804,1 bedded out as In B" and as in "C." After the potatoes had sprouted or started to sproqfj*! planted both klpds, whole, but took some of each and OUt to One and IWO eyes. They were all planted within two days.

La our iiutnble judgment, the palm must be given to tho Southern girls and women - for beauty'of form and for excellouce in feminine graces.

Eiloibo, comptroller general of the State of South Carolina, aud W. T. C. Bates, treasurer of the State of South Carolina. This is the case brought by General Sutler at the Novombor tei m, loUl, of the Supreme Court, to test tho constitutionality of the registration laws of the State. The oaso was heard on tho 3rd of last December. .1 ustle.es Pope and Gary,- a majority o" the court, decide that thoy navo no jurisdiction, while Chief Justice Mo Ivor not only disagrees on that subject hut proceeds to declare the law un constitutional.

Tbe decision of tho Court Is an nounced by Justice Clary. Tho general propositions arguod by him at lougth and for which he quotes numerous authorities, are as follows : First, This is a suit against the State in olToot.

If thu Stuto could be sued, ihe would bo estopped from intorpos Ing the objection that the services roudered at her instance, and for her benefit wero illegal. The appropria tion shows that tho Stato desires the payment of such services. Equity will not, therefore, loud its aid tu compel cho State indirectly through tho de fendants, as her fiscal olllcei ., to do that which thu State could not be com pel led to do in a direct proceeding. Justice Pope lu rendering his decis ion said that the delay, in the judg ment of tho court Is owing to his failure to write this separate opinion at an earlier dato. When grave oon itlttitioual questions are to be passed upon, unless there is Impel atlvo necessity that there should bo no dolay, tho fullest and complotost aud most palustuklug study should be given E their consideration. While dlsagrvi- f log with Justice (Jury as to this being a suit against tho State and oitlog the ease of Evans aud itobertsoo agaimt tl.? State Treasurer in the matter of the validity of the *r>,00o,00U issue of .bonds a year or two ago, as authority, hu agrees with Justice (Jury that the plaintiff had an adequate remedy at law and that the court had no jurisdiction. Chief Justice Mel vor evidently wrote his oplniou first, for after argu ing that the law was unconstitutional, be takes up sorcatlm his objections to the opinions Of his brethren as to tho pointy stated by them. As to bis views on the constutionallty of the law the following is a synopsis fur nished by a lawyer thoroughly?fam iiiur with the case: Tho Chief Justice aunounoos the conclusions that ho arrives at on tho merits of tho oontrovorsy, namely, the constitutionality of the registration law. Ho says in substance that these enactments are in violation of sundry provisions of the State uohstutlon, all of which he enumerates. ^He holds that tho many provisions ana require ments sot forth in tho registration laws us prerequisites to tho right of ballot are burdensome ana unequal and could not have been IntondedTO merely regulate tho right of suffrage, but upouYbfe vy-mu-o-y, Vitt.**,iie.i'at the provisions of tho law is to abridge aud impede tli? citizen iu registering and voting. Uo says that all registration laws to be constitutional must have for their purpose tho regulation of the suffrage aiid their province should be to faollltate und not to disuourago reg istration. He holds that the dosing of books on July 1 and allowing no provision for registration except for minors between July 1 and election day was, also, un constitutional. Also, that the scheme of the . Act which is to have but one general, .original registration is con trary to t he, section of the constitution whieo requires registration from time to time. He, also, holds that the cer tificate feature of the Act iu_en*uot re quires doublo registration'' uamoly, that voters must be both registered on the books and have certificates to pro sent at the polls' in contravention of the State Constitution. Ho also points out various other portions of tho Act that are constitutionally obnoxious, and says that there are so many provisions of the law that are uueonstitutionul w iiich are so interwoven with others that are not void that tho whole Act tuiiot be declared unconstitutional. The opinions of tho other Justices as *.o jurisdiction having been sub mitted to tho Chief Justice, ho in a subsequent opinion takes up their views, lie contends that it is not an action against tho State because it would hot Injuriously affect any proil erty or property rig tits ot the state. He consldeis it a question whon the constitutionality of un Act should be decided upon, and this is oue of thoiu in that it Intends to retrain olllcors from applying public funds for an il legal'purpose. Any taxpayer, bo 1 O elector or a female, has a right to bring un uction to prevent such action. What ether remedy a taxpayer would have to prevent an Illegal diversion oi public funds by fiscal officers of the government, otherwise than that taken, ho was at a loss to conceive of. The fund to be paid out had been properly collooted and placed In the treasury un 1 how its illegal use could otherwise bo provonted except by an action I?Few couples have journeyed through life so long together as did Mr. and Mrs. Kistnor, of Highland Prairie, Wash.
