LuCy LaRcoM.
Dark the night, the snow is falling ;
| Through the storm are voices calling ;
Guides mistaken and misleading,
Far from home dnd help receding
Vain is all those voices say ;
Show me thy way:!
Blind am I as those that guide me ;
Let me feel thee close beside me :
Come as light into my being ;
Unwo me be eyes, all seeing ;
Hear my heartTs one wish, I pray ;
Show me thy way! :
Son of man, and Lord immortal,
Opener of the heavenly portal,
In thee all my hope is hidden ;
Never yet was soul forbidden
Near thee, always near, to stay ;
Show me thy way!
Thou art truthTs eternal morning ;
Led by thee, all evil scorning,
Through the paths of pure salvation
I shall find thy habitation, ~
Whence I never more shall stray ;
Show me thy way!
Thou must lead me, and none other,
Truest Lover, Friend and Brother,
Thou art my soulTs shelter, whether
Stars gleam oiit of tempets gather ;
In thy presence night is day ;
Show me thy way!
Railway Speed.
Here is what has been accomplished
on American railways:"
First"A train has been run -four
hundred and thirty-nine and a half
miles, or ten hours and five minutes,
without a stop.
Second"Speed at the rate of a hun-
dred and two miles an hour has been
maintained for five miles.
Third"The distance of fifty-eight
and three-tenths miles has been made in
forty-five and three quarter minues, or
an average of seventy-six and a halt
miles an hour, twenty.five miles of the
distance being run at the rate of eighty-
«| three miles an hour.
Fourth"A train has been run from
New York to Buffalo, tour hundred and
thirty-six and a half miles, at the rate of
sixty-four and a quarter miles an hour.
These records show what is possible
~lin the. way of high speed and long
distance runs. They demonstrate that,
so far, at least, a8 locomotives and roll
sng stock oare concerned, much faster
trains than any now in use are practi-
cable, but there remains; the question
whether such trains could be employed
with safety in many places on existing
roadbeds; ~with their curves, grades,
grade crossings, &e.
» It is evident, however, that to attain
fastest railway travel it is only nec-
~i M.� lessary to make the same progress in
yoad construction as has been ~achieved
in locomotive building... New. York

GIVE US A CHANGE.
A Quicker Schedule Wou!d be a Great
Convenience.
Reson
have stopped allowing the freight trains
between Wéldon and Kinston to carry
| passengers, they would confera favor on
the traveling public by shortening the
schedule of the passeriger trains. The
present schedule consumes four hours
each way between Weldon and Kinston,
a distance of 96 miles, which is very
slow running, and even then the trains
are frequently behind time. The train
leaves Kinston so early in the morning
and returns go late in the evening as to
be very inconvenient, especially at points
on fhe Southern section _ of the run.
Because of this inconvenience mucli of
the local travel has heretofore been on
the freight trains. Since the advantage
of going on theT freight trains is now
might in a large measure be overcome
with a better and quicker schedule for
the passenger trains. There is no good
reason why so much time should be
consumed on a.run of 96 miles. The
RerLector believes that with proper
equipment" a larger and faster engine
for instance"the run each way could
be made in three hours or less as easily
as it is now made in four.
Besides the convenience to travelers,
a schedule that would bring the evening
train in before night, would, be of mate-
rial advantage to all business interests.
If Greenville merchants and business
men could get their mail by six oTclock
Now that the railroad. authorities |-
denied the public, the inconvenience }
in the evening, instead of at eight oTclock
and often later as at present, it would be
a great help to them.
Such a schedule as is herein suggest-
ed would be appreciated by people all
|along the line, and we hope the railroad
authorities will take it under considera�"�
tion.

_ SHALL WE BUY ST. THOMAS
There is no longer any doubt. that
the United States needs a ¢oaling sta-
Hon in the West Indies, and the need
~was never more apparent than at ~this
fore to secure such a station in those
Waters without success: Repeated ef-
forts have been made to obtain Mole,
St. Nicholas and Samaria Bay, also the |
Chiriqui Lagoon, and in each instance
the Governmeut has been baftled in the
_. The recent offer of Denmark to sell
St: Thomas t» the United States pre-
ents aa opportunity to this country
to secure the Island, and the ~offer isT
aninteresting. subject: for consideration.
_ The offer includes St. Thomas, SantaT
Cruz, and St. John, aud the belief pre-
vails that the United States can get
: them at-a bargain, as they are a source
of expense to Denmark, which being
~ anxious to dispose. of them, will offer
them to England should this couniry
decide not'to buy. The New York Sun
says that more than twenty-eight years
ago Mr. Seward coneluded ~negotiations
- forthe. ~purchase. of St. ~Thomas and:
, John, with a primary view to use
the principal one, St. Thomas, as a
-coaling and Pepair station for our war
-ghips in oCarribbean waters. At that
_ time a vote of those inhabitants who
~ were entitled to suffrage showed 1,244
: in favor of annexation to the United
_ States and only 22 againstit. This ex-
traordinary result justifies the conclu-
_fion that the people would be ready
oannexation to-day. The Danish
Rigsdag, in Janvary, 1868, by a unani-
vs rote in both houses, ratified the
roposal of transfer. The Government
was also willing to sell Santa ~Cruz,
but that was dependent on the consent
of France.
oThe Senate rejected the treaty con-
cluded by Mr. Seward for the purchase
the islands, but our contemporary
of the opinion that a similar result
would not follow now if the proper offer
is made to the United States, sand it is
not alone in that opinion.
Germany would like to have St. Tho-
but it is said that Denmark pre-
~that the island should not pass
@ possession of that nation if either
United States or England wall pur.
e it, and as between the two, it had

oDe! Thomas H. Buckler writes to
: the ~"* Medical ages as fol-
~ows
When, in . 1899, I published i in the
| Maryland Medical Journal a paper of
ten pages on the etiology and history
of influenza (la grippe) nothing was
said about the treatment, which is, af-
ter all, a simple matter, and is here
givea in the following brief words,
whether. the disease is ushered in the
usual. way, with courbature (muscular
aching all over the body) or primarily
as a rheumatic sore throat (tonsilitis)
"J converted rapidly by metastasis into
endocardists, of which Bishop Brooks
~died, or commences as a rheumatic
bronchitis, which, transferred to the
heart, caused the death of the poet
Browning at the Plazzo Rezzonico, on
the Grand canal, at Yenice. "
Influenza is always a rheumatismal
disease and as such must be treated,
Therefore give» at the instant of the
seizure our old-fashioned DoverTs pow-
der, the active ingredients, of which are
one grain of opium, one grain of ipecac.
with eight grains ot sugar of. milk, to
give it bulk.
If the seizure of this malady is during
the day, put the patient to bed as soon
time. Steps have been made hereto~|.as possible and-give the» Dover powder
Afiera sleep of six or seven hours give,
dissolved in water,. fifteen grvins of
doge every six or eight hours; and, to
facilitate the sweating caused thereby,
cover up well with warm blankets. Four
of these powders are usually sufficient
to sweat and siamp out the disease, and
there is an end of it, but if furtherT re-
qnired; the salicylate mary be continued
|.without stint at regular ivtervals, as
already: stated.
Both in Paris aud here, {lave never
known the most violent case of this dis-
ease to detain a patient in bed longer
than two or three days at most. ~Ihe
above treatment was adopted at the very
beginning, and fearing the seizure might
be at night, the above simple remedies
were always kept in the house.
But when this treatment is not adopt-
ed at once and careiully: carried out the
morbid elements may fly to some vital
organ, causing detention in bed for
weeks.and not infrequently loss of
lite aiterward, or months or year of
~more or less suffering.
The salicylate of sodium-is so wholly
and entirely the proper mode of treating
influenza that no other method need for
one moment:be- entertained or made a
subject for inquiry or experiment. The
Dover-salicylate is not only the best
treatment for complicated influenza, but
theT best for the viscerai rheumatism,
which in many cases attends or radidly
tollows it, and as no time should there-
fore be lost in giving the salicylaie, the
fitst dose of it may be given contempo-
raneously. with the DoverTs powder and
the other single doses continued at the
intervals already stated.
The most usval visceral complications
are rheumatic nephritis, rheamaiie or
gouty inflammation of the gall ducis,
fibro-bronchitis, incipient pneumonia
and incipient, endo and pericarditis, the
two last being most generally preceded
by rheumatic bronchitis, and the ou-
come usually pronounced oheart failure�

bly not more than 50 per cent of the
men in the United States wear night-
the country, almost without excep-
~nightgowns. The percen
age of men wearing nightshirts is
country. It is said that in this city,
counting all the men, probably about
75 per cent wear nightshirts; it
will be seen therefore that. there
must bé parts of the country in
which the proportionate number of
nightshirt wearers is small. The per-
centage of men wearing sleeping |
garments is, however, now steadily
increasing, most rapidly in the cit-
ies, but it is increasing steadily and
with a pretty even distribution
throughout the country.
~Phere are plenty of men in com-
fortable circumstances,TT a haber-
dasher said, ~~who go to bed in un-
derclothes instead of wearing sleep-
ing garments because they prefer to;
there are others who do so simply
~because that is the way to which
they are acoustomed, for the habit
of. wearing nightshirts, � the haber-
dasher argued, ~~is an acquired hab-
it, just as the taste for certain fruits.
or vegetables might be an acquired
taste. The great fact remains that
the nightshirt is still a luxary, and
one which, at former prices, many
denied themselves, With nightshirts
at $1 apiece there were many who
found the cost of othe article an im-
portant consideration and preferred
to spend the money for something
else; with nightshirts at 50 cents
dpieve, made possible by the reduced
cost. of .materials and the advanced
growing demand for them from all
parts. bes i
Nightshirts are made of about a
dozen different materials, including
muslin, cambric nainsooks, lawns,
madras, cheviots, sateens, white, col-
ored and figured: flannels, linen and
silk. Muslin nightshirtsosell at re-
tail at 50 cents to $1.50, sateen at
$1,25 to $5, silk at $5 to almost any
price. They are sold regularly up as
high as $20, and stich goods are kept
turer. Occasionally a nightsbirt is
sold as -high as $100, but such sales
are exceptional. More are sold at
$50, but sales at that price are very
lar price for asilk nightshirt, and
ing goods carry shirts up to that
price regularly in stock. Above. that
is in the region of fancy prices.
Some of the more, expensive night-
shirts are most elaborately embroid-
ered on the finest materials.. Usually
they are bought for wedding outfits.
Fifty per cent of the nightshirts
sold are of muslin. Ninety per cent
of all are more or less elaborately
trimmed, The coloted sateens are
pink and blue. All the rest of the
cotton fabrics used are white, but
even the low priced goods are trim-
med, many of them with fancy wov-
en trimming, blue or red, sewed on
to the garment. Silks are sold in
colors; pink, blue and white (plain)
are preferred, but other colors can
be had, and a few nightshirts of fig-
ured silks are sold."New York Sun.

Men inveigh against the folly of

what they deem justifiable sarcasm
that when by chance the gentile sex
strikes a sensible fashion it soon ex-
ea@zerates it to absurdity or drops it

in a London paper asks'if there is
anyiuoing that can be said in favor

Would make. even Patti afraid, .

More perfect she is than perfection ;

And she looks upon me with affection,
But her psrente"oh, bother them"don's,
They intend her to marry a title; fk
They want to address her, oYour Grace,�
They've made up their minds this is vital;
Which scratches me out of the race.
Nor do I, in. theory, blame them.
SheTs worthy a duke, I aver. .
It's true I'd be. puszled-to name them
A duke who is worthy of her.
Oh, I know sheTs beyond. and aboveT me;

But I donTt altogether despair.
For my heart undergoes:an expansion. -
When I think, what I'll tell you about, ,
Of that night when I called at her mansion, -
_And her parents, God bless them, were out
When I think of the way she received me
Of the way, and the words, that I spoke,
Of the way that she: blushed, and believe me,
Of the sixpence we solemnly broke,
Of the mutual:hopes we confided, -
_ As we blended our voices in song,
And that rapturous kiss we divided" Nee
Well, her parents can go to Hongkong) i

cluded it was time to run in and warm.
