Both branches Of Congress met on
Monday. 1t is hoped every State will
be represented again. The Grant
party, of course, will be ambitious to
secure his re election. To this end,
we have no doubt nearly all the legis-
lation of the session will be directed.
1t is most likely the San Domingo job
sill be revived. The Ku-Klux COM
mittees will also be busy in making
out a case. In the meantime, we ex-
pect to see sundry shams in the direc-
ton oflowering taxation and reducing
the tariff to a revenue standard. Grant
will be re-nominated beyond doubt,
Will the honest and conservative men
of all parties unite in defeating his
reelection? Time will tell.

Frequent HOeings.

THE Maine Farmer concludes an article
on hoeing with the following suggestive
paragraphs: Frequent hoeings. even
during the dryest SEASONS, contribute to
the benefit of the crop. By the loosening
of the soil, the air and especially night air,
charged with moisture, even in times of
severe drouth, obtains ready access to the
roots of plants, and becomes condensed in
the soil. Very often during hard sum.
mer drouth, we have seen corn leaves and
other vegetation roll up during the day
time, but come out again at night in con-
sequence of the falling of the dew, or the
prevalence of moist air. Where the ground
is not stirred, it becomes crusted over, or
"baked," as it is called, and hence the
moisture from below does not find its way
up to meet the condensed moist air. But
where the ground is frequently hoed, the
reverse is the case; Hence, the benefit of
repeated hoeing during the summer
months. Upon this point, one of our late
English journals mentioned the fact that
during the extremely dry season of 1926, a
gentleman was in the habit of hoeing, with
his own hand, three drills of turnips daily.
The result was that the three drills thus
hoed were good crop, while the yield
upon the remainder of the field, hoed less
frequently, came almost to nothing"

How to Handle Guns.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Rurdl Neao
Yorker furnishes the following rules for
the handling of fire arms:
Whenever you take gun into your
hand, inquire if it is loaded Should there
be 10 person to answer you, if the gun is
a muzzle loader, place the butt on the
ground outside the left foot, having pre-
viously fixed the hammer at half cock,
and, holding the muzzle in a forward di-
rection, clear of your person, draw the
ramrod and insert it gently in the barrel
1h1d Il there af +hs IS charge IN it you viii tee the
upper end will project about three fingers
breadth above the muzzle. Should the
piece not be loaded, the ramrod will sink
right down and the broad metal end will
soon announce the empty barrel by the
tap against the breach plug. Never
handle loaded gun except for the pur-
pose of discharging it; and never at any
time, either in jest or earnest, point gun
loaded or unloaded, at any living thing
you don't deliberately intend to kill.

Keeping Hams.

WE have mode of keeping hams
through summer, which works so well
that to withhold it longer from the public
would hardly be acting patriotic part.
Here it is:
Have sack made of cheap muslin or do
mestic, somewhat longer than is required
TO merely hold the ham. Then gather
some dry broom sedge and chop it finely
in your cutting box; or, if you happen to
be minus such contrivance, chop it with
the hatchet or AK. Place few handfuls
of this in the bottom of your sack, and
then, having wrapped newspaper nice
around your ham, slip it in upon the
chopped sedge. Proceed next to fill up
the sack by ramming your chopped sedge
tightly around the ham on all sides; the
size of the sack should allow of its being
an inch thick. Sew or tie it up, and the
work is done.
Hams put up this way will keep for
years through all kinds of weather, for
while the sedge is cooling in its effect, it
absorbs the moisture attracted by the salt,
and bars off the fly. We take it that
straw or thoroughly dried grass of almost
any kind would act, though we have no
experience with anything save broom
sedge.-Industridl and Commercial Ga

Durable Drains.

A DRAIN filled with charcoal could
never be choked except by particles of
earth carried in by the water that flowed
through it; for as the material would al
ways remain, the superintendent earth
would not fall down, as it now usually
does, to choke the passage when the
bushes which support 1t have decayed
Neither is it likely that the moles would
willingly cross drain filled with charcoal !;
and, if so, another very usual cause of the
destruction of drains would be avoided.
In many districts of this country where
peat is abundant, this substance, when
charred, would probably be found most
valuable material both for filling drains
and for building hollow ones. The brick
like form into which peat is usually cut,
and the hardness and porosity of the same
when charred in close oven, would con-
stitute a light and excellent material,
much cheaper, and probably better, than
either bricks or tiles.-Krchange

unable to obtain. The barrel of the gun
is about three feet and half long, and is
made by stretching stout, well-dressed
leather, in a soaked state, upon a mold
four inches in diameter, and sewing the
edges with cords of the native pitd de cor
ojo, which has great tenacity When dry,
another thickness of wet leather is stretch
ed upon the first layer, and four more are
subsequently aided. The breach is made
of hard wood, and the chamber is often
lined with tin. These guns fire from ten
to twenty rounds before becoming unfit
for use, and are usually loaded with stones,
through the absence of grape and canister.
They have done considerable execution,
and are lightly transported in pairs upon
the shoulders of man. When used, they
are laid upon the ground and pointed at
short range upon an approaching column.
THE Evansville Journal of April 81
says: In September, 1868, a man whose
name was given as David Crayton was
supposed to have been drowned in the
river, whence he was driven by mob of
negroes. Four of the negroes, to wit :
Ed. Brooks, Mike Mcclellan, Silas Davis
and John Clayborn were subsequently
convicted, the latter of manslaughter, and
the others of being accessories. Clayborn
is now in prison undergoing twenty-one
years sentence, and the others have
served out their time and are free. On
the trial, it is said, no death was proved,
and that important witnesses for the de-
fence VI ere not summoned to testify, and
| defendants were loosely defended. BE
that as it may, it is certain that Major a.
| L. Robinson has now in his possession
certain affidavits showing that the man
Crayton, or Pony as he was then known,
is still living Irwin Alexander, colored
man, who saw Pony swim from the Quick

months ago in Paducah, and conversed

convicted of his murder when he was still

KalsOmIning ParlOr Walls.

IT is popular error to believe that the
materials for kalsomining are very expen-
sive, and also that few men have sufficient
skill to apply the liquid even after it has
been properly prepared. For this reason,
people are frequently deceived into paying
exorbitant prices for this kind of work.
The materials employed are good clear
glue, Paris white, and water. Paris white
is sold in New York city and Brooklyn
ant kalsominers frequent charge twenty
five cents per pound; they "use nothing
but the genuine silver polish, which is
scarce, and very expensive"
In case the wall of large room, say
sixteen by twenty feet square, is to be kali
somined with two coats, it will require
about one-fourth of a pound of light
colored glue and five or six pounds of
Paris white. Soak the glue over night in
tin vessel containing about a quart of
warm water. If the kalsomine is to be
applied the next day, add a pint more of
clear water to the glue, and set the tin
vessel containing the glue into kettle of
boiling water over the fire, and continue
to stir the glue until it is well dissolved
and quite thin.
If the glue-pail be placed in kettle of
boiling water, the glue will not be scorch-
GU. Il uO1i, ditCA putting buO L dllS WhltC
into large water-pail, pour on hot water,
and stir until the liquid appears like thick
milk. Now mingle the glue liquid with
the whiting, stir it thoroughly, and apply
it to the wall with whitewash brush, or
with paint brush. 1t is of little conse-
| quence what kind of an instrument is EN-.
ployed in laying on the kalsomine, provid-
ed the liquor is spread smoothly. Expen-
sive brushes, made expressly for kslsomin-
ing, may be obtained at brush factories
and at some drug and hardware stores
But good whitewash brush, having long
and thick hair, will do very we'll In case
the liquid is so thick that it will not flow
from the brush so as to make smooth
work, add little more hot water.
When applying the kalsomine, stir il
frequently. Dip the brush often, and only
so deep in the liquid as to take as much az
the hair will retain without letting large
drops fall to the floor. If too much glut
be added, the kalsomine cannot be laid OF
smoothly, and will be likely to crack. Th;
aim should be to apply thin layer of siz
ing that cannot be brushed off with
broom or a dry cloth. A thin coat will
| not crack Western Rural

The Currant Worm.

THE Boston Journal Of Chemistry give
the following:
We are informed by DR.. E. Worcester
of Waltham, that the currant worm, so
destructive to favorite fruit, may be fully
and almost Immediately destroyed by the
use of carbolate of lime. The doctor tried
the powder in many instances during the
past summer, and found that while it was
fully as effective as hellebore, it was less
disagreeable, less costly and perfectly safe.
The method of using it is to sprinkle it
over the vines as soon as the worm makes
his appearance, bringing it well in contact
with the leaves, and soon the insect is de-
stroyed. 1t will need but two or three ap-
plications, and the work is done. In this
way, for a few cents, large quantities of
currant bushes may be saved and the fruit
allowed to mature, and no danger what
ever incurred. Neither the foliage nor the
fruit is in any way injured by the carbo-
late of lime. 1t will be well for our read
ers to remember this when the fruit sea-
son returns.

The Suns Blessing.

very worst soporifc is laudanum, and the

plain that poor sleepers should pass as
many hours in the day in sunshine, and as
few as possible in the shade
Many women are martyrs, and yet do
not know it. They shut the sunshine out
of their houses and their hearts, they
wear wells, they carry parasols, they do all
possible to keep off the subtlest, and yet
most potent, influence which is intended
to give them strength and beauty and
cheerfulness. Is it not time to change all
this, and so get color and roses in our
pale cheeks, strength in our weak backs,
and courage in our timid souls? The

CAUTION. CAUTION. oAUTIONi

Unprincipled men are endeavoring In differ
ent parts of the country to palm off upon the
unwary an imitation of DIR. sage's Catarrh
Remedy, under a similar sounding yet not
identical name. Remember the genuine is
called "Dr. Sage's Catarrh REMEDY" and
not {" DIR. sage's Catarrh Cure" "Dr. sage's
Catarrh Relieyer," or some other similar
sounding name. Also bear in mind that the
genuine has the words ar. V. Pierce, Nj. D.,
Sole Proprietor, Buffalo, N. Y, printed upon
the outside wrapper, and has DIR. Pierce's por-
trait, name and address on the government
revenue stamp upon it, which is positive
guarantee Of genuineness. 1t is therefore an
easy matter to distinguish the genuine from
the spurious.
