Crows, commander of Camp Carlington. Col. Crews has a splendid war record and had the remarkable experience of hav ing come near losing his life at the bands of Con. Wade Hampton. He was a member of the Hampton Legion and one night the word came that a considerable body of the enemy could be captured by a little strategy. It was near Fredcricksburg, in Stafford county, Vn. The company was divided Into squads and sent out at intervals. 1 Later (Son.

Clifford Seminary discourages both the skimming and the craming method of study. The time-honored college curriculum is followed. English and mathematics stand first on the list. A thorough knowledge of these two branches is insisted on because they are of the greatest practical value in all life work and because they form the only solid solid foundation for good scholarship. On this foundation is based a thor ough business course that fits a girl for successful office work as well as the broader courses 01 training that lead to the degrees of A. B. and It. S. Clifford Seminary has a full corps of college trained teachers, who are capa ble and enthusiastic workers, thoroughly in love with their work. They make every effort to develop character and the highest type of womanhood. They are tin* friends and sympathetic com panions of the pupils out of the school room and share their recreations and amusements. No training can better prepare teach era for the children of South Carolina than this. Schoo! Trustees who have tried them write: A Clifford Seminary graduate is our first choice always."

If ouo can Imnglno a furious ami ac tive Tolcano with a crater a thousand miles In extent, sunk level with the earth aud thinly covered with a screen of soil, one has some Idea of the a wo Inspiring "wonderland"' of New /.<?!? laud's north Island. You cannot poke a stick Into the ground without start lag .* boiling spring, nnd wherever Toiiiituni tlio ground is fairly alive wyb geysers of boiling water?steam Jets and blowholes, with quivering VOl i canoes and gorgllng "mud pots," nil colored fantastically with rainbow ; hoes, ranging from brilliant sapphire I to ?Ivid scarlet. Stranger still, the entire face of this region Is constantly ' changing In shape ami color, and there I are hot springs hero stretching In a j continuous chain for 300 miles. The 1 ground throbs and quivers with vol canic activity, and set In the midst of It all are native Maori villages of sur passing Interest, a strange race of magnificent savages, who, although they have been cannibals within the memory of man. are now a highly In telligent race and actually send rep resentatives to the parliament In Wel lington. The native women, gorgeous In gar ments of crimson, given and purple, are forever putting stolidly nt big pipes and going hither and thither about their household work with the quaintest of babies slung across their backs. This reminds mo that domes tic work In this strange region Is made light Indeed for white house wives as well as the Maori women. Every garden and back yard has Its hot water provided by nature. And wheu these easy going people grow hungry the mother prepares a meat pudding or a joint and drops It into a convenient pot of natural boiling water In the earth, and In a few minutes It Is cooked. The same conveniences are still more In evi dence on washing day. Stopping care fully through a tangle of boiling gey sers and gurgling mud pots, one sud denly comes upon a great collection of native women and girls doing their washing In a vast smoking lake big enough to have steamers on It.?W.

"By the wuy, Mary," said Mr. Will* terbottom, "young Ascot asked for my advice today about getting mar ried." Mrs. Wlnterbottom looked up from the pile of socks that she was darn ing. "And what ndvlce did you give him, .lohn?" she said. "Er?hand nio them matches, will you? My pipe's out," said Wlnterbot tom. She transferred the mound of mend ing from her lap to a chair, rose and, taking the matches to her husband, quietly resumed her work again. "Well," continued Mr. Winterbottoni, wallowing In his big chair, "I told Ascot td go ahead and marry at once. I told him what 1 have always be lieved?namely, that nothing develops the best traits in a man's character like matrimony. Nothing, 1 told him, so splendidly brings Into blossom those seeds of unselfishness, of self sacrifice, that lie dormant in even the best of bachelors. The bachelor thinks only of himself. The married man forgets himself In the protecting care that he must eternally lavish upon wife and babes. Coarse, selfish brides of bachelors 1 have seen transmuted by marriage Into a One gold of such self forgetfulucss and tender consider ation, such delicate solicitude and courtesy?er?ns"? Mr. Wlnterbottom had been slapping Ids pockets and frowning. Now ho stopped abruptly. "Here's my pipe out," he said, "und I forgot to bring down that pouch again. Do you mind, Mary? It's on the dressing table in the fourth story front." Mrs. Wlnterbottom, with pleasant alacrity, hastened from the room.? New York Press. Spoiled the Prayer. A west end man who had been out with a parly of friends sipping from the bowl of Joy more than usual stag i gored home, at a loss to know how to j conduct himself to prevent his wife knowing he was Intoxicated. After turning the question over In his mind several times bo decided that It would be well for him to kneel In prayer just before retiring, as he sometimes did. "What in the world are you doing there, John?" asked his wife. "Praying." "Well, your prayer might have nioro effect If you took off that silk hat."? St. Louis Republic. Can Wo Pull Anything? Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent Eng lish scientist, said In a lecture that there Is no such thing ns pulling. To speak of a horse pulling a cart was, he Bald, Incorrect. The horse did not pull the cart. It pushed against its collar nnd thereby produced motion In tho cart Similarly tho oarsman pushed the water, nnd tho man drawing a handcart had to clasp tho handle, and the driving forco was caused by tho part which clasped the handle nnd was therefore behind It. Even If the car. was fastened to the man's coat tall he did not pull R. Ho pushed against his clothes. Considerate. "And would you marry me If I wero a poor girl, working for a living?" ask ed tho heiress. "DnrllDg," responded the accepted suitor, "It wouldn't be fair. You'd be doing enough In supporting yourself."? Philadelphia Ledger. EDISON THE VICTOR. He Humbled the Pride of the Fast Telegraph Operator. Edison made his first record ns a telegraph operator lu Memphis. A con temporary says he canio walking Into the ofllco one morning looking like a veritable hayseed. He wanted a Joh, and, although his appearance was not prepossessing, the offlco was short handed, and ho was assigned a desk at the St. I.ouls wire, the hardest In the olllco. "At the end of tho line was an operator who was chain lightning and knew It," says Krauels Arthur Jones' "Life of Edison." "Edison had hardly got seated before St. Louis called. The newcomer re sponded, and St. Louis started on a long report which he pumped in like a house a tire. EdISOU threw his leg over the arm of his chair, leisurely transferred a wad of spruce gum from his pocket to his mouth, took up a pen, examined it critically and started In about fifty words behind. Ho didn't stay there long, though. St. Louis let out another link of speed, and still an other, and the Instrument on Edison's . tnblo hummed like an old style Singer sewing machine. Every man In the offlco left Ids desk and gathered around the Jay to see what he was doing with that electric cyclone. "Well, sir, lie was right on tho word and taking it down III the prettiest cop perplate hand yon ever saw, even crossing his 't's' and dotting his Ts' and punctuating With as much care as a man editing telegraph for printers. St. Louis got tired by and by and be- j gall to slow down. Then Edison open- 1 ed (lie key and said: " 'Hello, there! When are yon going ! to get a hustle on? This Is uo primer | class.' "Well, sir," said the gentleman In coucluston, "that broke St Ixnils all Up. He bad been rawhldlug Memphis I for a long time, and we were terribly I sore, and to have a man hi our ofllco who could walk nil over him made us feel like a man whose horse had won the Derby." THRILLING SPORT. Rafting Down the Canyons of an Un mapped Glacial River. With provisions for only ten days a ., party of explorers in Alaska fouud one j September that they must build rafts and take their chances of letting the swift river carry them to settlements where food could be obtained; other wise Ice and snow would shut them in from all ""hope of rescue. In "The Shameless Diary of an Explorer" Rob ert Dunn tells of the journey on the i roughly made rafts. "At 11 o'clock today hegon the most j thrilling sport I know, rafting down (be snaky canyons of an unmapped glacial river. "Fred and 1 captained tho Mary Ann II., the other three tho Ethel May. We rasped and hauled them over tho gravel shadows of our tributary, shot out between the main walls of the stream and seized upon that boiling current. "We readied silently from cliff to cliff, Jammed pike poles into the sin to shelf overhead, twirled out of eddies. We bumped and grounded. We dashed overboard and on the run eased her across shallows. We tugged half an hour to make on Inch at each shove through the gravel, suddenly plunged lu to our necks, and she leaped free as we scrambled on. "Bowlders rose through white ruffs of water in mldchannel. We might or might not hang on them for a perpen dicular minute. "You must be very handy with a pole. You must have a hair fine eye for moving angles, the strength of an eddy, the depth of foam ruffling over a stump. You must be surer of tho length of your pole than a polo player of the reach of his mallet. You must be quicker than a Siwash dog. You must know tho different weight of each log down to ounces, the balanco of tho duffel piled high like a dais, covered with the tent and the bean pot, the macklnaws and the ox lashed to all ttie lashings. It's a pretty game." A Risky Subject. "Do you think, sweetheart," queried tho young man with tho evenly divid ed hair, "that your father will con sent to our marriage?" "Well," replied the fair one, "of course papa will ho sorry to lose me, out"? "But," interrupted tho rash youui, "I will remind him that Instead of los ing n daughter ho will gain a son." "Dearest," rejoined the wise moid, "If you really want mo you mustn't say anything of tho kind. Papa has three such sons boarding with film now, and bo's a little touchy on the subject." Queer Milk. Many specimens of unconscious hu mor aro received by tho editors of tbnt monumental work, tho "Imperial Gazet teer of India." A district wos sold to Iks "on extensive rolling plain, consist ing' of alternate ridges of baro stony hills and narrow fertile volleys." An interesting item of natural history was afforded by tho remark, "The buffalo differs from tho cow In giving milk which is richer in butter fat, in voleo and iu having no hump." ? London Globe. Poured. "I have poured every day this week at soino function or other," remarked the vivacious girl. "Well, well!" murmured the old gen tleman who overheard her. "Now I know what Is meant by tho term 'a reigning belle.' "?St. Louis Republic.
