Something for the Ladies.

We give an article from that valuable
journal of agriculture, the Soil ofthe South.
upon saving vegetables for winter use that
is worth five years subscription to that Pc
rio dical. The new invention of air tight
cans, we are satisfied, might do but for thein-
sane cupidity of the inventors. Unless the
fruit or vegetable was the growth of Para
disc, you could not pack enough in any one
can to pay for its prime cost. But by the
recipe Of the +" iSoT' any one may have,
without stint, good okra soup all winter,
and if any "institution every invented by
mortal man was more perfect than good okra
soup, we confess We never shared inits bles-
sings.
SAVE Your VEGETABLES For WINTER
UsE.-We have tried various methods of
saving vegetables. Salt will preserve them,
but not without extracting all their juices,
so that if they are soaked sufficiently to
freshen them, they resemble their originals,
about as much as the shriveled pickle re-
sembles fresh cucumber. Okra NAV be
preserved by cutting the tender pods into
thin slices just as it should 60 into soup,
and dry it in the sun until it is perfectly
brittle, then packed away in clean paper
bags until wanted for use In soup il

it cannot be distinguished from fresh green
okra. Egg plants may be preserved the
same way ; peal the egg plant and cut it in
very thin slices, dry in the sun until it is
perfectly hard then pack away in paper
bags. When wanted for use, soak them in
cold water until they have swelled to their
origin al proportions, when they may be Ell

plants. Tomatoes may be preserved with
all their peculiar favor by scalding them.
then stewiug down one half, then spreading.
thin over large dishes, and drying in the
sun. The thin cakes shound be placed a.
way where they will keep perfectly dry
the same as fresh omatoes.-Green corn
may be first scalded in boiling water, (not
thoroughly cooked, J then cut the grain from
the cob, spread on tin plates and dry in the
sun pack away where it will be kept per-
fectiy Try. When wanted for use, soak in
ter beans may be gathered just before they
turn hard she'll them and dry in the sun.
When wanted for use, soak them in cold
water until they have sweled out their full
size, and boil.-Green snaps are very pal
atable in the winter, if they are picked
when young and packed down in salt, just
as cucumbers are put down for picking.
When wanted for use, soak them in cold
water 4S hours, changing the water frequent
ly. These, with what can be gathered
fresh from the garden all the winter, should
make perpetual spring in the kitchen of
every good housewife.

|sity was then struggling up amidst
many difficulties, if not against preiu-
dice and actual opposition. It is now
established on an enduring basis, and
is one of the best and most fourishing
institutions of the kind in the whole
country. Up to 1910, when our Com
mon Schools were commenced, there
were but two Colleges in the State,
but one hundred and fifty academies,
and only six hundred primary schools.
Noa0, there are fourteen Colleges, male
and female; over three hundred acade-
mics md tlaree thousand FIVE hundred
primary or Common Schools. IN To4U
there were not more than two hundred
students at Colleges, not more than
four thousand at academies, and not
more than twenty-five thousand at all
the schools, of whatsoever kind, in the
State. Noao, there are one thousand
students in the various Colleges, nine
thousand in academies, and not less
than one hundred and forty thousand

Brother. Though joyous spring is here

ment and comfort" says an eminent Wri-
ter, "is deemed by many mere specula-
tive chimera, which can never be reduced
to practice. But, if the abuse is inevita-
BILE, does it follow that we must not try to
meet it? It is precisely because the force
of things tends to destroy such equality,
that the powers of true wisdom and gener-
Gus philanthropy should always endeavor
to maintain it, That happiness we
quote the language of another perfect
and permanent, belongs not to this earth,
is truth, which, howeverunwilling to be-
lieve, we are taught from our cradle, and
accredit ere long But there is much
more than we allow, and it is greatly in
our power to increase it by the sacrifice Of
one vice, and the cultivation of one virtue,
under which denominations selfshness and
sympathy may be classed."

The subscribers return their sincere
thanks to numerous customers, and to all
the tppling part of the community, for the
extensive patronage they now receive and
they hope that the many proofs that are
now to be found of their success in the a

the increased support of ell drunkards and

Death d Co. beg leave to assure the pub

the best and most pleasant poisons in the
world and they will warrant them certain
death In every case where the individual
perseveres in the use of them.
Death 4 Co. bring themselves under OBJ
legations to send more persons to the poor

will also do it with the greatest possible dis
patch to accomplish these desirable ends,
it is only necessary for the individual to
take glass occasionally, till he feels that
quantity insufficient to crafty the craving
appetite which it will soon create; and when
this rum, whisky, gin, brandy, wine, cider,

is then prepared to brave temporal and
eternal misery for the sake of another glass.
In short, Death & Co. will spare no pains
or expense to bring the wives and children
of their customers to misery, temporal and

many as the public good many require.
They are constantly receiving new supplies
of the poisonous liquids, which they will
sell by the glass, the bottle, the barrel or
