$10 FOB BOARO AT WINTHROP. Trustees Considering the Abuse of the Free Scholarship Privilege. Hon. J. E. Breazeale has returned from Bock-Hill, where he attended a meeting of the board of trustees on k Tuesday. w The most important action taken by the board was to raise the price of board to the students from $9 to $10 per month. This action was taken be cause it has been found that 89 per month does not pay the actual cost, j The intention is to charge the pupils just the actual cost aid no more. j When Winthrop colie? ) was first es- ? tabiished the price of ooard was fixed | .at $8.50 per month. This was found j too low and it was raised ' to $9, and now another raise has been found nec essary. There was also a joint meeting of the trustees of the different State colleges at Rock Hill this week. The princi pal matter discussed was the growing evil of the abuse of the beneficiary/ scholarship Privileges. It is said to be . a fact that a large percentage of those pupils now enjoying the free scholar ships at the State institutions are abundantly able to pay-tor their edu cation, and the trustees are trying to find a way to put a stop to the eviL As yet no plan has been fixed upon, but there will be another meeting of the trustees during the Farmers' Insti tute to be held at demson College in August, and the matter will be con / sidered some more then. It is more ; than likely that some plan will be hit upon which will make7 it more diffi cult to get these free scholarships than it has been heretofore, and then they will be available for those for whom they were really intended?Anderson Mail The Marquis of Salisbury. Full of years and honor, surrounded by his triumphant colleagues, at the end of the longest premiership Eng land has known this century. Lord Salisbury ten dered his resignation and retired to the comparative obscurity of a member of the House of Lords. His career, which was the subject of an article by Mr. Julian Ralph in this month's Century,, has been an exam ple o? singular successes* Starting as a penniless younger son? he. early stowed his strength of character in college and later in the mining camps of Australia. On his return jo Eng land at the age of twenty-seven, the Marquis of {Salisbury, then Robert Cecit married Lady Georgiana Alder son, against the wishes of his father, who desired him to make a great money match. Having married for lo .ve* Lord Salisbury was forcded to abide'by parental displeasure and earn his living as best he could, which he did by writing articles for the vari ous leading magazines and newspapers of Conservative leanings. He was elected to Parliament first in his twenty-third year, and early showed his strength both to force his own opinions and to remain unmoved by the opinions of others. -But his great powers did not become apparent until he was made secretary for India, where his knowledge of finance and mastery of executive skill made him famous. It was due to his success in this field that he was offered and accepted the management of the Great Eastern Railway; but mere finance was not enough for Lord Salisbury's talents and ambitions ,and so when his party came back into power he was made Secretary of State for Indi a, and later, in 1876, was sent to Constantinople to represent England at the deliberations of the Powers in regard to the condi tions arising out of the Bulgarian * atrocities. His familiarity with the subject caused him to be sent to Ber lin with Disraeli to help in the settle ment of the Eastern question. It was at this congress of Berlin that Bis marck gave his memorable judgment on- Disraeli and Salisbury. "Salis bury," said Bismarck, "is a lath painted to look like iron, but that old Jew means business. " It developed that both Lord Bea ccnsfield and Lord Salisbury "meant business," and for once at least Bis marck's usually acute judgment of men was wrong. It was from the Ber ; lin Congress that Salisbury and Bea consfiedl returned, as Beaconsfield said, "bringing peace with' honor." Strength is not to be measured alone by bluster or parade. "A strong man," said Carlyle', "is one who can bear great burdens"?and by that test Lord Salisbury was a giant. Not only did he twice show himself able to manage the duties of Premier and Foreign Secretary?once in 1894 and again in 1895?but he showed the " capacity to choose his own good time lot making war or peace on the armies of foreign nations or the opinions of Ms countrymen. The changes of pop ular sentiment did not influence his course. His ear was never held groundwards, and the clamor or ap plause of the peoplejalike left him un moved. He did not love war, and he doubtless ' would have never tolerated the war in South Africa?certainly not during Queen Victoria's life?had not war been forced upon him by the Dutch. But having gotten in he bore himself ' with that resoluteness which comes of utter unconsciousness of others or of one's self. The popular storm raised by Lord Lansdowne's pitiful ineffi leiency as Secretary of State for War left him fixed in his determination to make Lord Lansdowne Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The charge of nepotism in no way altered his in tentions or actions in appionting his sons and nephews to high and respon sible positions, which, fairness must allow, they admirably administered. But despite his impassive strength, he was not a great creative statesman or a popular idol. The latter he could not be be because he was not by inher itance and temperament and held aloof ?r rom the aspirations of the masses An aristocrat of his type of mind could of necessity have but little sym pathy with the growing demands of the democracy,. Nor was the field cf constructive statesmanship open to him, for the party to which he belonged in foreign matters had taken no aggressive ,6tand since Glasdtone's Midlothian campaign, and had ratner gone with the tide of territorial expansion, which all the European nations were following, than chosen any new course. In home politics, thugh nearly all the great reforms were granted by the Conservatives, yet these conces sions were due rather to the demands of the Liberals than to the convictions or wishes of that party of which Lord Salisbury was, after Lord Beacons field, the chief exponent. These are the effects of the period in which a man lives. The world, as Lord Salisbury found it, offered few chances for notable exploits in states manship, and not being one of those advenurous spirits, to whom adven tures come naturally, he created no situation requiring masterly states manship for its solution. In his per sonal life he was cultured to the high est degree, both in books and science but even here he lacked that touch of impressonability whch marks the ar tistic, and therefore literary mind. Matthew Arnold noticed this and commented on it in a letter to his mother, in which he described how Lord Salisbury, as vice-chancellor, conferred on Mm the degree of D. C. L. from Oxford. Speaking of Lord Salisbury's personality, Matthew Ar nold said: "Religion he knows and science he knows, but of the great gulf between which only literature can bridge he knows nothing.49 Perhaps it was thatv coldly judicial temperamental tendency that kept him strong and self-reliant' in the days of his poverty when he was only Robert Cecil ?with n? prospect of ever inheriting the title he now wears, but certainly no man who has hadjsuch a home life as Lord Salisbury's can be lacking in the finer emotions. His beloved wife is dead. His rev ered Queen is dead, and while yet in the heyday of his power his resigna tion has put his reputation and his name beyond the fearful chance of outlived usefulness. ?

A Pre-empted Home From Which He Is Often Bixlod&ed. A casual 'observer might wonder why the rods bolted through the timbers at either end are placed under freight cars. They are not put there for hoboes to ride on, but to stiffen the floor of the car. Sometimes there are four, two close together on each side, but more often there are six, separated by equal distances. At the center, where the rods are rid den, there ii\ often, room between them and the bottom of the car for a man to sit almost upright though with his head bowed forward, but where there are six rods the hobo usually lies across them like a steak on a gridiron. While the train is moving slowly it is easy as a rule to drive him off by throwing coal or rocks at him. If it is going very fast, there is danger of kill ing him, and that is likely to get the brakeman in trouble (from tea years to life is customary). There is one other way of removing a hobo from the rods under a freight, but the brakeman must be a man of steady nerve, quickness and physical strength; also he must know exactly where the hobo is before he comes off the top to get him. Dropping from the train a car or two ahead of the one under which the man is riding, the brakeman has time to brace himself before that car reaches him (the train should be mov ing only slowly); then he seizes the hobo by the coat collar or by his arms. The motion of the train does the rest, and the hobo is dropped on the ground. ?Leslie's Weekly. Furore For Plaster Patc hes. Plaster patches were introduced in England in the reign of Edward VI. by a foreign lady who in this manner in geniously concealed a wen on her neck. They became such a craze and were carried to such( exaggerated lengths that they were finn Ufr lampooned out of sight. The men, as well as the wo men, stuck themselves over with these beauty spots. No. lady of fashion con sidered her toilet complete until she was equipped with her little box of patches cut in her favorite design. If one happened to come off in company, she hurriedly replaced it with a fresh one from the box. At length patching in England went so far. that party spirit was symbolized by the position of the patches. A letter in the paper ? June 2, .1711, tells of a visit to the Haymaafcet-and the dis covery by the writer of three classes of women in the boxes all differently patched. Upon inquiry he discovered that those who patched on toe right side of the forehead were Whigs and those who favored the left were To ries, while those who patched indiffer ently on either side were a neutral party, whose faces had not yet de clared themselves.?Harper's Weekly. Augustin Daly's Wit. An actor who knew Augustin Daly well told this story of the great theat rical manager's ready wit: "We both chanced to be depositors in and victims of ? bank which suspended payment Like others, when the news of the disaster became known we hur ried off to the bank to pick up what in formation we could, and coming down the steps from the offices into the street Mr. Daly's foot caught in the mat and, with some difficulty, he managed to save himself from falling. I was en tering the building, and, seeing the mishap. I ran up, saying: y hope you have'not hurt yourself.' "'Ob. no: thank you,' he replied. only lost my balance.' " DAIRY NOTES. ? Good butter should be solid from the time it is put upon the table. Any excitement in the dairy cow ' tends to lessen the flow of milk. Failing* to get all the buttermilk out ] causes butter to become rancid soon. To obtain the best results in churning ( the cream should be only slightly sour. : In winter the cream should be warm- j ed up to about GG degrees before put- ] ting in the churn. ] One -advantage in brine salting is ] that it almost entirely avoids streaked or mottled batter. The milk should always be skimmed while sweet and the cream then allow- , ed to turn slightly sour. Sometimes butter has white specks j distributed through it This is caused by oversourness in the cream. In butter making next to controlling the temperature is to churn often while the cream is in good condition. | With temperature under control and churning done at the right time the butter will become solid and be easily handled. On the farm to make the most out of ? the milk and butter some of tbe cows ! should be bred to come fresh in the j spring and some in the fall.?St Louis Republic. 1 Sacking: Poisonous Wounds. Among all people the sucking of the wound has ever been considered the most effective remedy of immediate ap plication for snake bites. In Africa a cupping instrument is employed in emergencies of the kind to draw out the poisoned blocd. The ancients fol- * lowed the same methods, and when Ca- " to made his famous expedition through the serpent infested African deserts he ? employed many savage snake charm ers, called psylii, to follow the army. They performed many mysterious rites . over men who were bitten, but the effi cacy of their treatment appears to have consisted in sucking the wounds. The Sore Way.
