GENTLEMEN who smoke cigars and
pipes do not seem to recognize the fac,
that their smoke invariably lodges in the
hair of erybody in the room, and that
the smell Of tobacco fingers upon the
scalp many hours after the smoking. In
this manner innocent persons are made
offensive to large class of other persons,
aud not . little iIl-feeiing is often the

a good wife should be like three

be like.
Fgrst-She should be like a snail to
keep within her house; but she should no;
be ike snail to carry all she had on

Secondly-She should be like an echo,
to speak when spoken to; but she should
not be like an echo always to have the
last word.
Mirdig-Sbe shonld be like a town

Pecan Nuts and trees.

We are indebted to Mr.. w. s. bod
son. jr., of East Pascagoula, Miss. for a
peck of very superior thin-shelled Pecan
nuts, raised by his father, Col. Dodson,
the well known "host" of the Dodson
House, and postmaster of the before
named place
The Pecan tree is the Ca,ya oliUs
formss of botanists; the "Pee, Kon" or
"Puck -Kaun" of the South, and the
"Pee Kan" of the North 1t was known
at one time as the "Illinois Hickory"
and the trees are found growing wild
over wide range of country-reaching
the greatest size and perfection in the
rich, alIuvial valleys of the Southwest
1t grows wild and very abundantly in
Texas, and our principal supplies are
shipped thence to the New Orleans mar
ket. There are many sub-varieties of
the Pecan, varying much in size and
thickness of shell. The Louisiana
thin-shelled" are generally considered
superior to the ordinary Texas Pecans;
though the largest hard -shelled nuts we
ever saw (measuring fully two inches in
lengthy were from the latter State. We
have several of these sub varieties in
cultivation; and we are glad to learn that
Mr.. Dodson, jr., is setting out large
grove of these very profitable trees in
Mobile county, Ala, about twenty miles
from Pascagoula.
Many people are deferred from plant
ing the Pecan from an erroneous and alb
surd idea resp, citing the length of time
they will have TO ''wait, (as they ex
press IT'D "for the trees to come into
bearing" Intending to devote q chap
ter to this matter hereafter. we will mere
ly say, now, that the sooner these and
other trees are planted, and the more
carefully they are cultivated and tended,
the speedier viii be the fruition and the
reward We of the Southwest have the
rarest and most tempting opportunities
to engage in many departments of rural
enterprise; and one Of the most promis-
ing which now occurs to US, is the plant
ing of large Pecan groves, which will
"grow while you are sleeping, and
prove, at no very distant day, sure

Hurricane In Rowland.

About three o'clock, on last Saturday
afternoon, that part Of Rowland town.
ship in the neighborhood OF Nj. Frank
Kings farm. was visited by a terrific
hurricane which did considerable damage
to buildings, fences, and trees. The
roofs Of two barns, owned by Mr. King,
were torn of and carried some distance.
twenty-five Of his best apple trees were
uprooted, while many rods Of fence were
RACED to the ground and scattered over
the roads and fields in great confusion
The barn of Mr.. Jas. Wilson was ami
Inflated, the storm taking it up at one
great scoop and carrying its timbers off
as though they were straws. The track
Of the hurricane was about a half mile
in width and extended about three
fourths Of q mile. It made a pretty clear
sweep Of everything in its track. Mr.
Kings loss is estimated at about $780,
Slight damage was done to two or
three other buildings. No person sus-
tanned any bodily injury. Some Of Nj.
Kings fine cattle made a narrow escape
from being crushed under the falling
trees, but none were hurt.
