AD OD DINVITES DISEASE Every part of the body is dependent"on the blood for nourishment and strength, and when from any cause this vital stream of life becomes impov erished or run-down, it invites disease to enter. No one can be well when the blood is impure; they lack the energy that is natural with health, the com plexion becomes paleand sallow, the vital energies are at a low ebb, and they suffer from a general broken-down condition of health. The system is weak ened and unable to resist the diseases and disorders that are constantly assail ing it. The Liver and Kidneys, failing to receive the proper stimulation and nourishment from the blbod, grow inactive and dull, and the waste matters and bodily impurities that should pass off through these channels of nature are left in the system to pioduce Rheumatism. Catarrh. Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases or some other blood disorder. When the blood is in this weak ened and diseased condition it should be treated with a remedy that is not only thorough, but gentle in its action. S. S.

GeneraNl Pasn e A S HOME MISSION. . MANNING AUXILIARY CONDUCTED BY MRS. J. D. GERALD, Superintend ent Press Work. Italians in the Cotton States. Southern planters have a prob lem all their own. There are no~ unions, no strikes, no violence; but the negro tenant silently ties up his bundle of clothes and dis appears whenever he so elects, regardless of crop condition and obligation to his employer.There has been an idea, inherited from the past, that only the negro could raise cotton. That idea is, losing its force,and cotton plant ers are. investigating, looking around for a class of laborers suited to conditions in theSouth. The indications are that sys tematic efforts will be made to bring Italian farmers to the cot ton lands of the South. One large company in South ern Arkansas has upon its plan tations one hundred and sixty Italian families who are success ful and contented. The Birmingham News an nounces that 50.000 acres of land in Alabama have been pur chased by a company "with the avowed purpose of setting Italian peasants upon the tract." Last summer one of the largestplant ers in Mississippi, Mr. Charles Scott, visited Europe to satisfy himself as to Italian and other foreigh laborers. His conclusions are altogether in favor of the Italian farmers as desirable ten ants. Mr Scott's views have been fully set forth 'in the daily pa pers. He has arranged to place Italians on soMle of his land. and arges others to do so. ,In 1900 there were in the cot ton States,, excluding Lousiana, nearly ten thousand p e r s o n s. Since 1900 Italian immigration has greatly increased. The pertinent question now is this: Are Protestant churches going to concede this field to the Roman Catholic church? That church is always alert and stute. It is preparing to take care of the situation. Itinerant priests are sent out and little chapels built. Wherever a few Italian families locate they are soon reached by a priest speak ing their own language. Mr. Scott says of the Italian farmers: "These men are al ready good farmers, and on the whole have the right material in them for the making of good cit izens. This, of course. will be later on, after they have lived here long enough to become thoroughly acquainted with our customs and institutions and thoroughly identified with Amer ican interests." What part shall the church take in forming these citizens? Home Missions is the livest sub ject before the church. Each section of the country has its pe culiar problems in home mission work. The church in the cotton States should at once 'take up: the work of evangelizing Italian imigrants.-Salected. We know of no Christian work that gives promise of wider ser vice and broader influence than the Woman's Home Mission So ciety of the M. E. church South. The original purpose of its or ganization was the building of parsonages on our frontier, but other phases of work have been added: and in eighteen years the society has made for itself a very distinct plan in the thought and purpose of the church. A very important factor in the work of the Woman's Home Mis sion Society are its educational institutions, 'and it now owns school property which repre sents $79.000. The schools have been planted in sections where the broadest opportunities have been offered. We have endeav ored to locate just where the debt to humanity seemed great est, especially in mountain sec tions, and among foreigners who come to us bringing debased forms of religion if they bring any at all. * We can now speak only of the work of t be society in behalf of the Japanese-a people who come from a small country which lies otY the eastern coast of Asia-and is often called the "Empire Island" on account of its consisting of an Archipelago of some 4,000 islands-a country that is shaped like the rising moon, and named for the rising sun: a wonderful nation, which less than fifty years ago, with the welcome she gave to foreign ideas emerged from the national seclusion and has since become the cynosur-e of nations. These people come to us as they say. " Believing dhat America is the gate to all good." Work was opened up by the Women's Home Mission Society on the Pacifie coast. Among the Japanese and Chinese, in 1897, since ten nearly one thousand Jpanese have been under ia struction in the schools-night schoos and Bible cjgsses of the society. Two Japanese churches have also been organized, one at Alamedo, the other at San Francisco, to which the Japanese contribute liberally, as they are ale. They show an -earnest reerent disposition to acquire and master our language, that Ithey may become better men, Iand oc~upy better positions. Dr. Scherer, who taught Japanese students for five years, says they are ideal students, "not originative. but for quick recep tiveness and rapid, thorough as siilation of mental good, they are unpal}led." A mnong no other class of im our society worked with more marked success, spiritually and mentally. This is but a hint of the work teing done by the Woman's Home Mission Society. Other lines of this work stand for wore extended achievment but none loving Christian effort than this. -Mrs. Knowlton in S. C. Advo cate.

The use of salt as a necessary sup plement to diet has had much influence in shaping the civilization and explora tion of the world. It is most prooable that the oldest trade routes were cre ted for the salt traffic, as salt and incense formed the chief necessaries f the ancient days. This was certain ly the case with the caravan routes in Libya and the Sahara, while the mines of. north India were the center of a large trade before the time of Alexan iter. Another interesting fact is that salt has played .a considerable part in the distribution of man. When It became absolutely necessary to him, as it did at an early stage of his development, he was forced to migrate to places where it could be obtained. This brought him to the seashore, where he gained his ideas of maritime commerce. Lastly, the preservative effects of salt on flesh food made long 'oceanic voy ages possible and thus opened up the world to commerce and civilization. Caught Cold While Hunting a Burglar. Mr. Win. Thos. Lanorgan, provin ial Constable at Chapleau, Ontario, says: "I caught a severe cold while unting a burglar in the forest swamp last fall..

Many of the devices by which mili tary indifference to life has been ma tured and sustained are curious. In ancient Athens the public temples were closed to those who refused mili tary service, who deserted their ranks or lost their bucklers, while a law con strained such offenders to sit for three days in the public forum dressed in the garments of women. Many a Spar tan mother would stab her son who came back alive from a defeat, and such a man, if he escaped his* mother, was debarred not only from public of fices, but from marriage, exposed to the blows of all who chose to strike him, compelled to dress in mean. cloh .g and to wear his beard neglige:- y trimmed. . In the same way a horse soldier who fled or lost his shield or re ceivedr a wound in any save the front part of the body was by law prevented from ever afterward appearing in pub lip. ,Grip Quickly Knocked Out.

Livy in his famous book, "The An nals," 9, 3, relates ill the following suggestive words the story of a singu lar strike which occurred in Rome in the year 30v B. C. and was probably the first strike wer known: That year occurred an event little worthy of being related and which I would pass in silence had it not ap peared as involving religion. The flute players, dissatisfied because the latest censors had forbidden them to take part in the banquet in Jupiter's temple, according to the ainient custom, with drew, every one of thetn. to Tibur, so that nobody was left at tome to play during the sacrifices. This incident shocked the religious sentiment of the senate. and the senators sent-messen gers to invite the inhabitants of Tibur to make every effort in order that the players should be restored to the Ro mans. The Tiburtines. having prom ised not to neglect anything necessary for that purpose. caused the flute play ers to come to the place where the sen ate met and exhorted the'm to go back to Rome. Seeing that they could not prevail upon them to do so, they em ployed a stratagent in keeping with their charneter. On a day of festival under pretext that music would increase the joy of the feast every citizen invited the flute players individually t: his house, and wine, of which people of that profes sion are usually fond, was given to them in such quantities that they fell into a (leep sleep. They were then thrown into wagons and transported to Rome. They only became aware of what had happened on the day after, when dawn surprised them lying on the carts, which bad been left in the forum. A large crowd had assembled, and they were Induced to promise that they iVould remain at Rome. The right of at tending the banquets was restored to these flute players. The Richest man in the World.

The earliest public trial of a passen ger 'boat driven by ain electric motor was that conducted by Professor Ja cobi of St. Petersburg in the year 183s, though for four yr-ars previously he had successfully experimented with electric traction in the privacy of his own grouids. The trial of Jacobi's vessel took place on the Neva and was witnessed by a vast crowd of people. The boat was twenty-eight feet long and ten feet wide and carried fourteen persons. It was not until four years later that we find any record of a passenger car riage driven by electricity on land, and n this case the inventor was Alexan :der Davidson of Edinburgh. The car riage was sixteen feet long by seven feet wide and was impelled for a mileI and a half at the rate of four miles an hour on the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway.

Wnen Baron Bramwell was once sit. ting on the crown side on the south Wales circuit, counsel for the defense in a certain case asked lenve to ad dress the jury in Welsh. The case be ing a simple one, permission was given without demur. le said but very few words. The baron also -did not think much comment was necessary, but was sQmewhat startled by a prompt .verdict of acquittal. "What was it," he afterward in quired, "that Mr. L. said to the jury?" "Oh, he just said: 'This case, gentle men, lies in a nutshell. You see your selves exactly how It stands. The judge Is an Englishman, the prosecut lig counsel is an Englishman, the com plainant is an Englishman, but you are Welsh, and I am Weish, and the pris oner is Welsh. Need I say more?
