Give me the boys, the dear,growing young boys, the hope and prom¬ise of the nation." Just as soon asI saidthat the girls began to tell me what tosay. They said, "Don't forget to tell theboys that if they want their sisters to lovethem, they must be good to them, and tellthem their secrets, and not let them takelong walks when they coaid ride as wellas not; and they mustn't growl over their.fine shirts and complain over every ima¬ginable annoyance, and fincL fault, abouttheir food. That it is these habitualfault-finders who grow to be unsocial andunlovable, and fin ally, detestable bores."Summed up, this is what the girls told

meto-tell you,- boys r- "Don't-wear ^yeur'hats in the house; be careful to keepclean; wash often; see that your handsare not grimy and your finger-nails un¬

The Belligerent Arnibs.Resources ofthe Combatants;

JWhat has long been obvious from the

steady accumulation by Russia of anenormous military force during late years,from her progress southward to India,from her,reported alliance with Tersia,from £he a^iatice}she had sought with the'western powers, "from her concentrationof large armies at points close upon theTurkish frontiers, and from the .'tact thatshe has cm ployed the' .IScTav societies tofoment the digturbaners in the Turkishprovinces, and from the singular' charac¬ter of her late diplomacy, is that she in¬tended to seek a settlement of die; East¬ern question by a resort to arms'. Thereis no longer much hope that this, .appealcan be avoided, and hence a comparisonof the forces and resources of the twochief combatants, and of those powersmost likely to be: drawn into the fray on

one side or the other, is not witbollt in-terest. __(The area o*nheTRüssiä*n"empire in Eu¬

The army of Persia, ivhich is said tohave formed an alliance with Russia, can'furnish- at least seventy thousand men ofall arms.

THE BEST ITTIOPHI?"VTOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER! ^uch Ts tai-J3I nished by the

DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta,'Ga., which brings the water pureand freshfrom the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the welL No-;snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities,and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth¬er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves thewater beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream ofwater. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at' ybur'door^tdextinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Itawe&iing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify. :;

It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, uponwhich it asks your patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoiningCounties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbert, Wilkcs and Oglethorpc in Georgia,
