His salary is usually under a

really more to him than the shekels.

SAFETY IN CLEANLINESS.
Japanese Gods Protect Only Nice,
Clean People.
The reason this idea of
cleanliness was associated with the
idea of dangerousness was in my
opinion because was
thought to be the enemy of the gods,
and tho gods cannot be where any
uncleanness exists. The gods are
clean and pure, and those who are
not clean and pure cannot but forfeit
the protection of the gods. Those
who are not protected by the gods
can easily be attacked and injured
by the evil and unclean spirits, and
hence the idea of danger came to
associated with th- idea
This is perhaps made plainer
by some concrete case. When I was
a young boy tho custom of eating
beef began to spread. As blood was
regarded as unclean, and also as
Japan had been a very strong
cultural country, there was a very
deep-rooted disinclination to cat
beef. In this, of course, one has to
recognize the influence of the
principle of Buddhism.
But to anybody who had ever
tasted beef it was so delicious that
he could hardly control his natural
appetite by his religious scruple.
My father was one of those
knew its taste, and so now and then
we used to treat ourselves to beef.
But where did eat it We did
not eat it inside of the house. We
cooked and ate it in the open air,
and in cooking and eating we did not
use the ordinary utensils but used
the special ones kept for that
pose. Why all these things Because
was unclean, and we did not
like to spread this uncleanness into
our house, wherein the
is kept, and into our ordinary
h might be used in making
offerings to the gods. The day when
ate beef my father did not offer
lights to the gods nor say evening
prayers to them, as he did usually,
for he knew he was unclean and could
not approach the gods. Then my
mother, who did not and could not
cat beef until very recently, did
those things, and I, who used to par-
take of the new dainty dish, often
went to bed feeling as if I were
clean and subject to dangers. From

This is not much keeping
with the bill that has been

do well to begin at home

legislature certainly needs, and
that is consistency.

THE WAREHOUSE
WISE.
BILL.
A bill has been in
the Senate by Mr. of
Nash county, to reduce the salary
of State and county officers and
tobacco warehouse charges to a
fraction over half of what they
are now. To our mind the
the gentleman who intro-
this bill was pure, and all
right, but in the light of common
sense and sober reason let us look
at what the result of such an
enactment upon our statute books
would be to the farming element
of North Carolina. The
being composed mainly of
farmers and not made up of to-
it is but
natural that such a bill should
meet with much favor at their
hands, because naturally they
calculate that the save in charges
goes into the farmer's products
and hence is that much made for
him- But let us see- If the
charges that warehouses usually
collect are reduced half, instead
of a friend to see that the
tobacco sells for its
worth the warehouseman is utter-
and unable to
take any risk whatever in
chases of the tobacco.
Do the farmers of North Carolina
want to sell their tobacco with a
man whose desires and in
to see that the
tobacco brings market value is so
handicapped by the laws of the
State that he is absolutely power-
less to place his bid against that
of an unfettered and
ed competitor It is simply
the of intensified and
concentrated monopoly in the
hands of tobacco purchasers who
see proper to take advantage of
it. In the disguise of approach-
the farmer with a bill
porting to be their friend and for
their interest after it is fastened
upon our statute books as a fixed
law of the laud, those
who are now fostering and urging
the passage of the bill will find
that they have been harboring an
empty delusion which the
space of two years will cost the
tobacco farmers of this State
more money than the difference
between the present and proposed
charges will amount to in ton
years. Such an assertion may
sound wild but an actual
will prove it to be so.
a cent a pound on several million
years will amount
to a great deal more than some of
our legislators would imagine.
There should a mutual feel-
existing between the ware-
housemen and planters but if the
present legislature continues on
its wild and visionary schemes
no telling what the f will
be twelve mouths hence.

The bill to repeal the law of
requiring the public printing
to be let to the lowest bidder,
which was the special order,
came up and was argued at full
length, the Democrats contending
that the c Sect would be to give a

Then several substitutes were

Mr. Ewart has introduced a bill
to abolish the office of county
commissioner and in its stead
to create a body of three to

and to appoint rive
magistrates in every
township besides the vacancies
which this Legislature is to fill.
This will insure a majority of

this is that in many counties the

beyond the immediate and original

of the compensations of many

fact, often provoke indignation and
sometimes lead to hasty words and
actions which we afterwards regret

To still further aid in
true humor from false humor.
as Addison phrases them, let us call
to our aid two other great humor-

Honest good humor is a great con-
in happiness in life. As to
wit. unless of the kindly sort, and
in that case it may be included in
good humor, it may be valuable in
giving a sense of intellectual
but it never makes friends,
and. far as happiness is con-
one is better without it.
Like a sharp edged tool, wit needs
to be most, carefully handled, while,
as regards genuine good humor, it
is like the sun and the pleasant
light of day making all things beau-
and vivifying and strengthen-
all good purposes and friendly
companionship.
A HARDENED YOUNG MAN.
Possibly He Had Escorted Some
Shopper Around Before.
Several hundred people laughed
themselves to the verge of hysterics
In a well-known uptown dry goods
store. They made merry and con-
ducted themselves hilariously. And
there was very little of a humorous
nature in . It seems
that a rather h young gentle-
man had been beguiled by his sweet-
heart, presumably, or possibly by
his pretty sister, into accompanying
her on a shopping expedition. But
the youth was better fortified than
most men when they are thus be-
guiled, lie knew his business, and
it was not a cold night. Be carried
a cine which he promiscuously flour-
at random, and emphasized his

long frock coat, embellished with a

much agility to avoid having his

spaniel leaped up on the highest
box as if it were only a step, instead
of four feet high, and sat up with

DICKENS AS A NOVELIST.
Chiefly Remembered by Certain Char-
Scenes and Whimsies.
The glory of Charles Dickens, says
Frederic Harrison in the Forum,
will always be in the
his first, his best, his inimitable
It is true that it is a novel
without a plot, without beginning,
or end, with much more of
caricature than of character, with
some extravagant tomfoolery, and
plenty of vulgarity. But its orig-
its irrepressible drolleries,
its substantial human nature, and
its intense vitality place it quite in
a class by itself. We can no more
group it, or test it by any canon of
criticism, than we could
or There are some
works of genius which m to trans-
all criticism, of which the very
extravagances and in-
crease the charm. And Pickwick
ought to live with Gil Bias and Tris-
tram a deeper vein, the
tragic scenes in and
in must long hold
their ground, for they can be read
and reread youth, in manhood,
in old age. The story of
Hall, the memories of
Copperfield, little Nell, Mrs.
Toots, Captain Cuttle,
and many more will long
continue to delight the youth of the
English speaking races. But few
writers are remembered keenly
by certain characters, certain scenes,
incidental Whimsies, and so little
entire novels treated strictly as
works of art. There is no reason
whatever for pretending that all
these scores of tales are all to
compared with the best of them, or
that the invention of some
scenes and characters is enough
to make a supreme and faultless art-
Tho young and the uncritical
make too much of Charles Dickens
when they fail to distinguish between
his best and his worst. Their fas-
seniors make too little of
him when they note his many short-
comings and fail to see that in
elements of humor ho has no
equal and no rival. If we mean
Charles Dickens to live we must fix
our eye on these supreme gifts alone.

Fudges are chocolates, and
they are simply the most delicious

butter one-half the size of an egg,
and a of vanilla extract.
The mixture is cooked until it be-
gins to get grimy. Then it is taken
from the fire, stirred briskly and
turned into buttered tins. Before
it hardens it is cut into squares.
You may eat the fudge either cold or
hot; it is good either way. It never
tastes so delicious, however, as
when made at college over a sputter-
gas lamp in the seclusion of
your own apartment. The various
difficulties that this method entails

Probably few individuals have
more private matters in
confidence to them than newspaper
reporters. In the gathering of
news, says the Rome Sentinel, many
a fact is given in confidence to re-
porters which nothing should in-
duce them to publish, but which is
freely made known to them person-
ally in order that they may fully
understand a subject and be en-
to intelligently give to the
public so much of it as is proper.
Our public men and others recognize
this fact and they know that their
confidences, when worthily bestowed,
are never betrayed by reputable
newspaper reporters.
Every newspaper man knows
many family affairs and how many
private business affairs are sacredly
guarded by reporters, though the
general public probably Is not. aware
of it. There is hardly a newspaper
proprietor in the land who would
not quickly dispense with the
ices of an who should
betray such confidence re-
posed In him when he was pursuing
the task of news gathering. The
reporter who cannot be honest
about those finds many av-

a first-class sensation recently in
the domestic complications of a
French count of good family, who
