A C Hinds., Esq., was up from Kingstree a few hours Wednesday -of last week on professional business H G Askms, Esq, spent the day here Friday. .Mr M M liougtrs was in Kingstree Saturday. It is reported that two white men stole fodder from Mr M V Ward a few nights ago.

Ben is etill in the bushes and there seem to be no efforts being put forth to catch him. The bliud tiger dealers of this . town and community may come to the conclusion after a while 'hat their business is not what it is "crocked up" to be. Infendaut Blackwell has at, this writing, fifteen gallons of whiskey locked up in the guardhouse. This was seiz ed on well founded suspicion, and no one has so far taken steps to recover any of it by law, nor has the "refrigerator'' been broken into. Doubtless the "bereaved" go to the window, take a long look through the bais1 at tileir lost ones and lift op their eyes and weep. Auri these "weeps" are large "weeps;" their money gone; their liquor goue; aud their customers standing around with their tongues hangiug out. *Tis euough to melt a heart of stoue or kill the bud worms on a cabbage; but that door stays closed. Line it out and these mourners will sing: "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and cast a wistful eye " * Mrs Mattie Fulmore aud little daughter expect to leave here Friday for New York. Lake City, April 17:?Peculiarly saddening was the death of yonng Miss Sallie Hiunant, which took place last Friday at Lander Female college, Greenwood. She was sick ten days, only the last four of which ? ? ?? ->~-J : 1? tJ..? rcgarucu. aci ivuoiy. iin laiuu, OrT B Hinnant, and one sister, Miss Dora, were with her when the end came. The fatal malady was gastritis. She was only seventeen yeare of age and the second youngest of five sisters of a family of six ? children. In appearance she was strong and full of leaping vitality, yet she is the first called out of the family ot eight, including her father and mother. At mid*day Sunday the last rites were held at the Methodist church, conducted by Dr Juo 0 Wilson, president of Lauder college. Then silently the body was borne to the Baptist churchyard where in its littie bed all that is earthy of this tender maiden sleeps that sleep that will linger till the light of a brighter day, kissing eye and cheek and brow, calls back the breath which shall fly thence not again iu all the ages of God. Miss Sal lie was a member ><f the ohnrnh unrl ,*i sine?re Christ ian. She was really an exceptionally bright and winsome girl and a general favorite. To say that all who knew hej loved her is stating nothing more thau the simple truth. The flowers that were laid upon her coffin in such profusion came from hands moved /by hearts that feel, snd V 4 deeply joo, all that which these tributes silently spoke And she was beautiful, too?not the beauty of the selfcouscious and vain, but that beauty which one recognizes as the expression of innate sweetness, of a perfume that can not be described, but that ia real aud mastering. Strange, strange, that the young, strong and vigorous should be called ' I away aud we old hulks, that have so long been little more than derelicts, , are still making our ports. Yet the t Great I Am holds the winds and t isome day we shall understand. [ | '-Sense knows not; faith knows uot? ; only, from mystery through mystery; s from God to God." If there be truth where truth should be; if the 1 pure iu heart die not, theu is this cherished one where the lilies wither : uot and where the chill shadows c ! return uot any more.

( The niemliers of the tenth grade, * a - -i ^ us you Know*, wrire me nenis ior j the paper; but as our teacher has c given the eighth grade the task of r writing thein this week, we shall a 9 do our best aud beg the people to c tiy to endure the change. j Miss Erckmann, our much be. j loved primary teacher who spent ^ several days in Charleston, her home, a last week, attending the marriage a of her sister, Miss Dorothy Erck- a mauu, has returned and reports a very pleasant visit. This was a ] well-earnea vacation and, although a we missed Miss Erckmaun a great t deal, yet we are glad that she was 1 given the enjoyment of a visit home. Two good things came off Mon- 0 day night, the lyeeum attraction j ami the storm. We were aware of the attraction about a veek before t hand, but the storm took us by sur- c prise. The storm came first, but 7 after that the school auditorium was ? filled with the people of Kingstree 6 who stood the storm to hear "the best of the season." F r Rev E E Ervin paid us a visit 1 Fridav morning and conducted i chapel exercises. We are always glad to have our town friends, es- ^ peciallv the preachers, visit us and ^ ouly wish they would come oftener. \ The eighth grade is not writing ' essays, as our tenth grade friends a are doing, but we are having almost I as difficult a time in gettiug Ulysses back to his home ofter the siege of Troy as he himself experienced. ^ The Wee Nee Literary Society held v its meeting hridav afternoon. It | was a very interesting one, as new officers were elected. They are as i follows: Mary Swann, president; 1 John Ross, vice president; Mamie } Montgomery, critic; Clara Mont- J gomery, secretary; Ruth Hinnaut, c treasurer; El ma Hinds, censor. 1 Our scciety is prospering in spite s of all pessimistic predictions and c we hope that the public meeting we j expect to have next month will be c atteoued and enjoyed by all. t The society is delighted to learn * that Mr Louis Gilland. of the Kings- ^ tree bar, has accepted the invitatiou ] to make the address at the pnblio meeting of the society, which will be on the Friday eveuing before school closes. Besides Mr Gilland's g address there will be a prayer, "rnus- { ic and a debate. The query select- g ed for the eveuing is: Resolved, J That the immigration of foreign people to the United States is desirable. ^ Mary Swann and Mamte Montgom- j erv, from the ninth grade, are the debaters >u the affirm itive, and Clara Montgomery and David Scott, from the eigth grade, are on the negative side. Prof Bethea is still talking about and demonstrating the good of a promotion card.

SLEEPING AFTER MEALS. tt e* Apt to Hoy? a Harmful Effoot Upon Oigaation. Science in its study of men and inimals finds all sorts of contradic;ory evidence respecting the rela;ive values of exercise and of rest luring the process of digestion. It las been proved that climate is the trincipaL consideration at the outlet. In the tropica the siesta, or short lap, after the midday meal is found 10 be a natural development and a lecessity for human beings, while n the temperate zones sleep imraeliatcly afteT eating is apt to prove larmful, though rest in a waking tate is desirable in most cases. The whole subject is well outined in a Paris scientific journal, Joswos, from which the following vo nrv?o nV? i o tronclof orl A /aiagi apu 10 biaujiavui "In ten)T>erate climates an adult ij. n good health who eats moderately tc loes not feel the need of sleep ira- v< nediately after eating. Somnolence ittacks only dyspeptics, aged per- " ons and excessive eaters. In warm 1 ~ limates, especially in the tropics, j t is impossible to go out of doors >etween 11 a. m. and 2 p. m. or o occupy oneself in any way. Peo>le are thus led to lie down, heat ind digestion aiding this tendency, ?. ,nd the siesta becomes a habit, not n in absolute necessity." If one does lie down after meals a hould he sleep or remain awake? 11 )r. Schule, an assistant of Baumler ^ it Freiburor. has analyzed the conents of the stomachs of two nor- ! nal subjects removed several hours iter an identical test meal of bread j j" ind distilled water, followed in the i ne case by sleep, in the other by '. imple rest in a horizontal position, j 1 le shows that sleep during diges- J ^ ion always results in weakening he motility of the stomach and inreasing the acidity of gastric juice -a fact attributed by Schule to the rritation caused by the chyme's re- ^ naining abnormally long in the tomach. ^ He has also remarked that 6im- y >le repose in a horizontal posture, lot accompanied by sl&ep, stimuates the gastric function without ncreasing the acidity. jr The conclusions of this physiolo- ^ fist need to be supported by a very arge number of tests. The similest test is to ask whether persona irkr, alw>n offpr patincr evnerience my discomfort. Numbers of them g ay that a siesta interrupts digestion p ,nd that on awakening they have a n utter taste in their mouths. Profitable Doaporation. A certain Mr. Davies, who began ife as a sawyer and carpenter and It rhose honesty and industry carried o; lim on to wealth as a railway con- ti ractor, sunk all his money in bor- w ng for coal, no coal being found, rhcn he called a large meeting of lis miners and told them that he lad spent the earnings of his life ti n the speculation and would have d o abandon it.

It is remarkable to what extent t< [ndian mathematics enter into the tcience of our time. Both the form n tnd the spirit of the arithmetic and j ilgebra of modern times are essen- c, dally Indian and not Grecian. ^ Think of that most perfect of math- y iniatical symbolisms, the Hindoo lotation; think of the Indian arithnetical operations nearly as perfect j is our own; think of their elegant u llgebraical methods and then judge s; whether the Brahmans on the banks g, if the Ganges are not entitled to lome credit.
