When we think of the assistance of France in the American wur for independence the name of the gallant Lafayette at once comes to mind, But*the services of Ro- chambeau, whose monument is to be erected in Washington on May 24, were scarcely Jess important and contributed largely to the success of the siege and capture of Yorktown, the decisive strug gle of the Revolution. It was Rochambeau who lent Morris $20,000 to pay Northern regiments which had refused to proceed further South than the Head of Elk without “a douceur of a little hard money.” And it was with the aid of Rochambeau that Washington managed to de ceive Clinton. Moreover no less than 7,000 French troops and thirty-six French ships-of-the line took part in the operations against Yorktown. The career of the French gener ai, whose memory will soon be duly honored at Washington, is briefly outlined as follows: Jean Baptiste Donation de Vimeur C^unt de Rochambeau, was the son of a lieutenant-general of the French army and Governor of Vendome. Born in 1726, he was destined for the church and was being educated in the Jesuit Col lege at Blois when the death of his elder brother left him sole heir of the paternal estate and caused him to enter the' army. His ser vices were brilliant and promo tion was rapid, Taking part in the war beyond the Rhine, in Ba varia and in Bohemia, by 1747 he was oolonel, and after the capture of Port Mahon in 1766 was made a knight. Later services iu Ger many brought him the rank of lieuteuant-general and caused him to be selected by Louis XVI to command the army destined to serve against England in Amer ica. HiB position as a nobleman and his high military rank helped him in his task, enabling him to get his troops increased to 6,000 men and to obtain other support needed for success, including $20,' 000 in gold. Gen. Rochambeau having five ships, landed in July 1780, in Rhode Island and by promptly fortifying averted an at tack prepared by the British. He spent the winter partly in disci plining his troops and ordering inoreased supplies from Paris and partly in concerting plans of oampaign with Washington. On De Grasse’s arrival with 8,000 more troops the campaign in Vir ginia was devised, and after de feating Clinton on Manhattan Is land Rochambeau ho maneuvered his forces as to prevent Clinton from sending a force to help Corn wallis. When everything was ready he hastened with the Amer icaus to Yorktown, where he led one of the French columns that OBsaulted the British works. In 1788, after several minor enter prises, he returned to France. “Cleanliness is next to godli ness.” Dirt and depravity go' hand in hand. This is just as truaof the inside of the body as the outside. Constipation clogs the body and clouds the mind. Constipation means that corrup tion is breeding in the body, pois oning the blood with its foul ema nations, befogging the brain with its tainted exhalations. Consti pation is the beginning of more diseases than, perhaps, any other single disorder. The consequen ces of constipation are legion. Headache, pain in the side % short ness of breath, undue fullness af ter eating, coldness of the ex tremities; nervousness, indicision, lassitude, dizziness, sallowness, flatulence, and a score of other -ailments are directly caused by constipation.

Some very interesting figures were presented to the convention at Ashville, N. C. by Dr. Lansing Burrows', tbe statistical secretary. He showed that there were in the world 6,044,892 Baptists, of these 1,688,089 were from the whites of the south, and 1,008,406 were from the north. There are 1,668,170 negro Baptists in the south, making a total of 4,249,616 in the United States. Among the southern white Bap tists there are 19,658 churchesg with buildings valued at $20,687, 619. There have been during the last year 95,610 baptisms, 9,455 restorations and 28,227 exolu sions. In the south $8,044,410 was raised during the year for home church purposes, $512,466 for missions, and $459,527 for other benevolence. The report of the Sunday school board showed that its receipts for the past year were $89,845, which was $10,960 more than last year’s receipts. The report of the home mission board showed that $98,950 had been contributed for this work during the year, the same being $12,000 more than for last year. The report of the foreign mis sion board showed that $152,000 had been raised for work in the foreign field, and that it cost 12ir cents on the dollar to get it to the missionaries. There were 1,489 baptisms on the foreign field last year more than ever before. Ice Oream Oil. The farmer who sells his cotton seed to the oil mill pockets the proceeds and turns the corner to a handy ice cream saloon, where he may cool and soothe his inner man, little thinks that the com modity he has just unloaded from hiB wagon at the depot has in it the crude elements of the popular dish he purchases. But it is none the less true. We are no longer dependent on “Old Sis Cow,” for our cream, and when she goes on agstrike, upsets the bucket and flees to the further pasture, we ssmply turn us to the can of sal ad oil made from cotton seed and get all the fats needed to make our cream. And without a single microbe to trouble us. This may sound a little wild to the “horny handed,” but if he will watch the pretty girl who demonstrates at the Western exhibit in Charles ton, he may see the whole process, and if he is good, may eat some of the cream. The cow is no longer “it,” when ice cream is concern ed.—Ex. Don’t Start Wrong. Don’t start the summer with a lingering cough or cold. We all know what a “summer cold” is.
