“Jessies and Joe.”
On Wednesday and Thursday
nights of last week, our people had
tbe pieaeare of seeing the Jessica
and Joe Comedy Company in tbe
G|»era Honae. Oo all sides we bear
the opinion that no company has
aver visited our Town who is more
worthr of patroiinge.
8|>eakitig of Mi*s Jessica Thomas
tbe Darlington eomspondent of
the Columbia Register say’s: ‘‘A
more ch irraiug aonbrette has nev
er ap|M-are,l on our board*. To add
to the charm of her actrig she has
sweet voice of rem irkahle range.”
On Wednesday night the comp uy
played the “Little Devil” with the
“Loan of a Lovex,” for the utter
piece, ai.d on Thursday night they
play e I, “The D.iught* rot the Reg
lineal” and the “The Swiss Cot-
tage.” Jessica and Joe are well
supported. The p anist, Mias
Mollie Pbyaioc, ia a musician of
unusnal ability. Id the Troupe
there are some flue voices, and their
beautiful singing adds much to the
interest of the entertainments.
When in addition to the really ar,
'••tic acting, we add that they are
onr own people—natives af our
own State, we gladly pay tribute
to their talent nnd wish them every
saoce*s. Fiom tbia point they went
to Cbeiuw where we learn they
played to foil booses. We wiil
gladly welcome them back to Dar
lington, and hope soon to have that
pleasure.

On Tuesday night at half past
nine o’clock fire waa discovered in
a lot of coitou in front of MoL'ail'a
store. In less time than it takes
to write it, twenty h*les wen iu a
blase. Buckets were at once pro
cured and tbe fire confined lo where
it was originally discovered. Toe
engine was quickly on the ground
and pi. ycd t a the burning bales.
The bnrnt cotton was afterwards
hauled down (he bill to tbe creek,
where upon examination by day
light, it is found that not veiy much
damage has been doue. Tbe wind
was very high and sparks were
blowu directly towards a large lot
of cotton near tba Court House
which bad to be watched. Tbe
engine was left on the Square all
night ready for further work. If
our City Fathers have the power
to prevent cotton from Wing scor
ed on the Square now ia the tim* to
exercise it. It should never have
been allowed.

Danger in Pork.
Mr. Forsbee of Wilmington, N.
0., began two years ago, nndor tbe
anpiosa of the Agricultural Bureau
at Washington, to investigate the
origin and Cannes of bog cbolers,
Tbe resnlts of tbe investigation will
soon be pnbl shed through the re
port of the different boards of
agricaltnre, and will show the effect
apon maa from tbe disease of this
animal. Garefnl investigation into
tbe origin of tbe disease has proved
oonolnsively that it results from the
use of carrion food, dropped by
buzzards, while tbe habits of the
hog are snob that one iu a herd
baing attacked will soon spread
the disease. Typhus fever in man
has been traced to the nseolin-
fected meat of animala slaughtered
to avoid tbe disease. Thorough
cooking of pork iu affected districts
will alone prevent man’s liability
ta typbaa fever from that causa,
Immediate Isolation of affected
animals is recommended.
Mr. Forahee has received many
eneonraging and favorable letters
from prominent pnblio officials, who
will embody tbe results of hta in
vestigations in their reports to
different societies.

‘‘Americans,” he said, “pay more ap

This being the case, the man who caters

that wiih L.dk-s a No. 4 is the most gen

••q d*> ko wfthout giving offense, and
proceeds to fit her.
”1 must say for the intelligence of the
average woman that this sort of nonsense
is not indulged in so much now as for
merly. The intelligent woman comes in
and says she wants to be fitted, at the
same time putting up one foot to the
salesman. We don't go as much on
numbers aa we did twenty years ago.
We fit the shoe to the foot, and when we
have done that it makes precious little
difference to the wearer what the num
ber is or whether the last is ‘double A’ or
‘double E.' You know, of course, that
‘double A' is a narrow last and ‘double
E* a very wide last. The widths become
wider as the letters run down. The
French heel is not worn as much as it
was. It is a good thing it is not. No
woman's foot ever looked so well in a
■hoe with a French bee]. The half
French heel is a popular one.
“The shoes of today," be continued,
“are smaller than they were twenty
years ago. That ia saying that the feet
■re smaller, of course. That ia so,
•specially with Americans, I don’t mean
by that that feet are becoming actually
■nailer. But they are becoming edu
cated, so to speak. Better care is given
them in every way. An intelligent
dealer fits the foot to the shoe.
“I told you that the tendency is to long
■hoes. This does not apply to shoes worn
on the stage, which are always short.
There is more taste displayed in the shoe
for the parlor now than there used to be.
The lady of taste, if she can afford it, of
course, has a pair of shoes to match each
dress. One or the prettiest shoes for
evening is the undressed kid, orange
shade, especially if the drees is of black
■ilk or satin. One of the most stylish
things we know of in this line is a laven
der. It is exceedingly rich and costs

WHEN IT IS TOO LATg,
The worst of jt p* that no one realizes
the danger till the How has fallen and
the damage is done, and wo go on in rur
ruinous courses, often without warning
or advisement. People- hesitate to lilt
more weight than can be lifted easily,
because it will strain the muscles of the

hesitate to run or w alk greater distances
than can he comfortably at eomj.lishcd,
because it will tire the muscles of llie

life is the totality of flic functions, so all
functions and all orj^nns pre to lie re
garded with equal care and concern; and
thus they forget that to think, to plot
nnd plan, and strive nud fret pud worry,
tires and weakens both the brain pnd the
heart, and puts additional work on the
kidneys, doing damage that is more than
permanent, inasmuch as it is fatal.
When it Is remembered how the heart
shakes at any and every emotion of con-
sequence, how it sinks’ with fears, nnd
palpitates with deurcs, and stands still
with loss and horror and defeat, it will
bo seen that iives of strong emotions and
unceasing efforts and aspirations must
have a great deal to do with the condi
tion of the heart, it i.i not steady and
persistent work that does this. That,
with fit intervals of rest, does injury to
no one, but, on the contrary, is healthy,
and in a way strengthening: it brings no
trouble of heats and colas, of beatings
and bcunuings, no holding of the Lrcatn,
no nerve us starts, no dizzy pauses of ej-
pDCtelion.

The^Tcrmtlc'i KiaguUr Work.
There are several species of the ter-
mito, some of which malm thoso great
tent shaped mounds of which travelers
toll ao much, and others building high
up in trses. The sort which is so de
structive to wood and books makes its
home underground, and approaches the
object It intends to convert into food by
tunneling to it. By this means it renders
•ny attempt to watch for its coming null.
Usually it follows the grain of the wood
in its progress, but this u not always tbe
case, the direction being determined by
expediency. A ehert which has not been
totally destroyed will show that tho in
sect has gone bock * * “

and afluirs of that tert, v.hkh, i. ithoui
being exactly fatal, yet njv «r.ough to
make life a burden, are tixj frequently
the i cnsequer.ev to be more than apokcu
of; for when the heart once becomes en
feebled every oilier organ of the lody is
in danger, although "by means of
strength icwo come to four scoro” in
spite of it.
It follows, then, that a Ufa where tho
individual feci* himself subjected to
heart beating excitements, to shock and
■train and Struggle, or to the too intense
(bought which bums tho blood in tbs
braiu, is u life at once to be abandoned.
And there is no mistake about it, for if
wo do not abandon such a Life os that

Culinary r.tluoatlnn for Girls.
Philadelphia hss followed Boston and
some other cities in introducing culinary
education for girls ns a part of the public
achqo) course. Thirteen classes of twenty
pupils ewdi have been formed to begin
with, and those interested believe that it
will prove a great success. As was tho
case In that city when the introduction
of sewing classes was proposed, tho cook,
ing clashes have met wjth objections
from a few, on the ground that other
studies would lie interfered with. But
the great r.uccess of tbe sewing ( lasses,
which now comprise about 550,000 chil
dren, fully answers this objection.
When will New York show like enter
prise? It took years to rnglte a begin
ning, even in manual training. If that
b conceded to boys why net give the
girls some 1.radical nid toward making
• living? They need it even worse than
the boys. And wligt ppp public schools

Tho public was told recently that
Greek had been added to the 1 Indies Jn
tbe Normal erhcel. Men aro being im
ported at ralarjca of ii0,000 a year to

ing to teach girls Creek end refusing
them instruction in rowing nnd cooking.
This is net right. Nearly 2.000 girls are
rcc-cic ing instruction in the pul lie schools
of Losten in the science of cooking. It
L an I a valuable ecu nee. More people
are injured by bad cooking than from
any other cause. In Germany cooking
