A rare opportunity will be afforded the ladies of Greenvillg this week, in a series of health lectures to be givea by Miss Cora Blinn, of Charlotte, who will speak in the Court House Thurs- day and Friday afternoons at 3:30 o’clock. No admission is charged, and all ladies are cordially invited to attend. Miss Blinn is now ona tour through the principal towns of the State. The following are some extracts concerning these lectures from State exchanges. The Charlotte News says in regard to her lecture in that city: “Yesterday afteri.oon, Miss Cora Blinn of this city, gave a lecture to ladies “only on the tupic ‘Health and Beauty.’ She is an earnest, impressive and intelligent speaker, and held the close attention and interest of the au- dience throughout. Health charts to show the ravages which disease and folly can make on the system, were graphically described, while the beauty ‘and grace of the healthy woman: were presented in a fascinating manner. The subject, as presented, was shown to be of vital importance, and the lecture was highly appreciated by the ladies’ who were fortunate enough to attend.” Kinston Free Press: A large num- ber of the representative ladies of our town heard Miss Cora Blinn’s lectures last week. The lectures excited much linterest, and they have gained the ears of our people. The relation between health and beauty was brought out, while the nec- cessity of health for the wife and moth- er, and the importance of simple hy- gienic treatment, were clearly shown. There isa lack of knowledge concern- ing these subjects, and the fact is deep ful. her audience is fully impressed that the importance. ture of Miss Blinn to ladies only in the Y. M..C. A. Hall yesterday afternoon, notwithstanding the inclement weather, was well attended and was as profitable as it was interesting. All who attend- éd speak of it in high terms ot praise and are generous in their expressions of admiration of Miss Blinn. She will deliver her second and last lecture in Y. M. C. A. hall Monday afternoon at 3:30, ‘The ladies of ourcity could not do better than attend these lectures. INN pany the UNION CENTRAL.

Evi- | @enees of these are the peculiar to- pography of the island, its still more peculiar position upon the map, and its striking outline, which, with its topography, make it resemble a great leviathan with a protruding backbone. There is in this neighborhood one more striking freak—a gigantic rock in a place which is, for miles around, al- most totally devoid of stones of any kind. This great rock is called Shelter rock, and is on the road between this place and Manhasset. ~ There are some geologists who claim that Long Island was thé result of a great seismic disturbance which shat- tered it fromthe. mainlaud—now Con- ‘necticut and Khode Island. Others liold..to the opinion that it was a float- ing mass of lava which settled here in the plastic period of the earth. Shelter rock could owe its existence to either of these processes. It could have been hurled here from some stony portion of the country by a powersoii- mense as to be almost inconceivable or it could have floated here upon a eea of lava when the earth was “with- out form and void.” Villiam Chester owns the !and upon which this interesting stone stands. He keeps a stock farm, and his sheep wse the rock for shelter, It was from this fact that it got its name. It is about 30 feet high, 50 feet in width and 75 or 80 feet in length. Upon tie top grow bushes of purple and white lilacs, twice the height of a man, and their roots extend down into crevices in the rock. On its south side it shelves out toward the top, leaving beneath a sheltered territory where a flock of sheep can find protection during a storm, There is on the west surface of the 10¢ck a large hollow niche where a man could sleep with plenty of room. Great eratks, showing the strains whieh have been upon it at different ages, radiate through it in all directions. Lichers and moss cling to it. Besides the liae lushes upon its top several good-sized maple trees grow. The roadway froin here to Manhasset passes directly by the east side of the rock. There is but one rock like Shelter rock in all this region. That is whai is called Kidd’s rock, near Sands point. where, legend says, the great pirate captain buried some of his mucii- sought-for treasure. Kidd’s rock, how- ever, is small, Shelter rock has been for years the subject of much specula- {ion and study. Classes of students from St. Paul’s school at Garden City have made a critical study of it. Min cralogists and geologists from other jastitutions have examined it. Ameng tiem was Prof. Reis, of the Columi a college schcol of mines, who examincd it in the interest of the Columbia depart- ment of geology and mineralogy. Those who have dug down in the earth alongside the big stone have been unable to reach its bottom. It must extend downward for many feet; in fact, it is thought that only a small part of the real stone can be seen. in Wesi- chester county there are many rovks similar, but none so large. There wasa smaller one not far from here, but that was broken up some years ago to make stone walls. It was once suggested that Shelter rock, which is of a good quality of gray stone, be broken up and used for macadam roads. An engineer wos sent here and made careful measure- ments of the rock. Guessing at its depth, he estimated that it containec enough stone to macadamize all the réudg in North Hempstead town and iInany more besides. Chester was o1- fered a handsome sum for the rock, but he refused it. Not only are there no other big stones in the neighborhood of Shelter Roc. cxeept Kidd’s rock, but there are bur few stones of any kind. The immediat« neighborhood is entirely free fro:a them, but it seems as if all th» stone thereabout had been solidified in- lo one great mass. It. has been suggested that the top of the big stone be leveled off and the rock used as the foundation for a meeting hall, or a memorial building of some kind, This would probably have bee done before were it not for the owner's unwillingness to sell. The old meeting- house fermerly used by the Quakers of this village nm but a short distance away No one has ever estimated the weight of Shelter rock, but the number of tong must be pretty well up inthe thousands, To blast it to pieces for road-making or wall-building would require .many pounds of dynamite.—-N.

Much of Mr. Gladstone’s marvelous | success in life, the good which he has A PRANK OF NATURE. some type of the English country fam- in body, and no breath of dissension or seandal has ever disturbed the serenity| =i of their mutual relations. Sons and daughters, as well as those who have entered the family by marriage, all vie with one another in reverence and devo- tion for the one who has done so much to render the name which they bear illustrious, a synonym for justice, piety and generosity. But superior to them all on that score is the “Grand Old Woman,” as the ven- erable Mrs. Gladstone, the once famous beauty, Carry Glynn, is affectionately described thronghout the United King- dom. No wife is more watchful and de- voted than she, and Mr. Gladstone has made few political speeches in parlia- ment when she has not sat in the gal- lery, inspiring him with the knowledge of her presence, and few public ad- dresses outside the walls of Westmin- ster when she has not sat by his side, either on the platform or on the hustings. Indeed, upon one occasion, when about 15 years ago he was called upon to speak in the open air at Green- wich to an exeremely hostile audience, she won the day for him by standing throughout by his side, holding an um- brella to shield his silvered locks from the glare of the sun, Instead of the hisses, the howls and even the missiles that were anticipated from the mob, there were cheers for the “Grand Old Couple” and for their “Grand Old Gamp.”—Philadelphia Times.
