MORE GARDENS.

We should be gladif every reader OF this
paper who has bit of land to cultivate
would resolve that during the coming
season he would make strong effort to
have garden where could be grown the
necessary vegetables and as many fruit
trees as space and time would allow. Too
many farmers look upon the garden as a
needless luxury, and the consequence is
that they, of all other classes, have the
least variety of vegetables and fruits upon
their tables. They do not realize the bene-
fit Of proper intermixture of vegetables
with meat, and how necessary they are to
health. 1t is fact that people living in
cities have greater variety of vegetables
the year through than the farmer. The
cost of garden is but slight. and, with
the exception of the ploughing and carting
manure, could all be done by children
besides, the interest the work would be of
great value in preventing their leaving
the farm. Many boy who is now sue
cessiul farmer dates his interest in agricul.
tural and horticultural pursuits from the
sense of his responsibility while attending
to the garden or some department of the
tarm. So we say to all farmers, advance
your own interests by interesting your
children in the garden.

The Necessity for Salt.

DIR. Scudder remarks: 81 am satisfied
that have seen patients die from depriva-
tion of common salt during protracted
illness. 1t is a common impression that
the food for the sick should not be seasoned,
and, whatever slop my be given, it is al
most innocent of this essential of life. In
the milk diet that l recommend in sickness,
common salt is used freely, the milk being
being boiled and given hot. And if the
patient cannot take the usual quantity in
his food, have it given In bis drink. This
matter is SO important that it cannot be
repeated too often, or dwelt upon too long.
The most marked example Of this want oi
common salt have ever noticed has been
in surgical diseases, especially in open
wounds. Without supply Of salt the
tongue would become broad, pallid, puffy,
with tenacious, pasty coat, the secretions
arrested, the circulation feeble, the effusion
at the point of injury serious, with an un-
pleasant watery pus, which at last becomes
mere sanier or ichor. A few days of a
free allowance of salt would change all this
and the patient get along WE'LL"

Desperate Fight between Brothers-in-Law

Quite serious shooting affray occurred
in Wake county last week, between Mr.
Harrington and his brotherin-law, Mr.
Boggett, two well known and respected
citizens, between whom an old family feud
had existed for some time. Harrington
left his home shortly after dinner, proceed,
ed to the river to fish, leaving his rifle on
the bank. He then descended the bluff to
the waters edge. He carried with him a
pistol to shoot the large fish, If he should
catch any, the better to enable him to land
them safely. He had been fishing but a
short time when he heard noise behind
him, and looking up, beheld Boggett over
him with an oar appraised to strike him, who
said, 'Now, Harrington, I've got you just
where want you, and you can't get away.
I am between y0uand yonr rifle. You We
been talking about my father long enough,
and I'm going to kill YOU" Harrington
Immediately raised his pistol and fired, the
ball taking effect in Boggett's breast,
ranging upward and lodging in his left
shoulder He Immediately fell into the
water After floating around for some
little time, he begged Harrington to help
him. This Harrington consented to do,
and after much trouble and hard work, he
succeeded in getting him to land and upon
Ihe DahK. DoSSetG lneu saiu, loI 1ou
sake run for doctor, for l am dying"
Harrington Immediately shouldered his
shotgun and started on run. AS soon as
his back was turned, Boggett reached for
his rifle and exclaimed, ''hold on, you've
killed me, and can't wait for doctor to
come and I'll be ID if You are going to
get off SO easy" He deliberately aimed
and shot at H., the ball striking him in the
right side and passing through. Harring-
ton then exclaimed: GIVE shot you once,
and now I'll shoot you again." and shot a
load of shot into Boggett's right arm. He
then walked all the way up nome and told
his friends the whole circumstances.
Boggett was found lying on the ground,
where he had received the last shot. He
was at once conveyed to his home and
medical aid summoned. Strange to say,
both are still alive, and Harrington is in a
fair way of recovery, while hopes are enter
tanned of Boggett's recovery. Both tell
the same identical tale, even to the minute.
There is not much hard feeling between
the two, more than that of rivals in a isti-
cuff match. 1t is altogether the coolest
affair ever known to our citizens.-Rutetah

LAYING HENs.-Treat hens kindly if
you want them to lay eggs. A petted hen
is singing hen; and singing hen is in
variably laying one.
The housewife who feeds her flock of q
dozen petted fowls, ont of her apron, will
have eggs to spare; when her neighbor,
who counts his hens by the hundred, but
pelts them about his premises with sticks
and stones, and sets the dog on them when.
ever he catches them in the stables, will
not have eggs for his own use: Avoid
chasing or frightening fowls; it Injuries
them. IF you want any 90 kill, take them
quietly from the roost at night, and allow
them neither by futter or scream to dis.
turb the rest. IF you do not want to kill
them the same evening, put them in coop,
or other suitable place. where they can be
had next morning without further trouble.

Massacre of Christians.

10000 Christians have recently been
massacred in the province of Tong King,
Cochln-China, ifa letter purporting to come
from the Bishop Of Laranda, and published
IN the French papers, may be relied upon.
Tong King is the largest province of
Cochin-China, and the Christians said to
have been massacred are mostly the CON
verts OF French priests. Within the man
sion from which the slaughter is reported
there were O,OOO Christians, and the move
ment against them must have been de-
llberately planned and powerful one. Tu-
Due, the Emperor of Cochin-China, has al
ways been bitter opponent of the intro
duc'ion Of Christianity among his people,
who ale mixed race of Malays, Chinese,
Siamese and Peguans, numbering about
l5,000,0oO, Buddhist in what religion they
practice, and speaking a language similar
to that Of the Chinese. His battles with
the French, by which he lost several of
his provinces, and was compelled to open
his entire country to Christianity, seem to
have made him even a more determined
enemy Of the missionaries than he had been
before, and, if the reports from Paris BE-
true, he has now struck blow more terri
bic than any that preceded it. Another
French invasion of his territory will, OF
course, follow, and the war in Cochin
China will open the next field for the Ell,

day we find the following extraordinary
paragraph. Mrs. Lamadred has embarked
in very doubtful speculation and we know
there is no court on the face of the earth
that will give her damages to the amount
of ten cents: @gt
"Mrs. Maggie Lamadred, of Louisville.
has brought suit against Boone Lodge
Knights of Phythias IN that city, because
the defendants who are named "and others
to her unknown, did beat, drag and brnise
her husband in going through their rites,
or their pretended rites; that by reason
thereof he died, depriving her of bis sup
port, care and protection, and that by rear
son of their said unlawful, cruel and wicked
conduct she has been damaged 100000,
and therefore she prays judgment for $lo0,-
900 damages, and for all other proper relief"

SALT FOR GREEN WORMS ON CABBAG E.

SALT FOR GREEN WORMS ON CABBAGEs
Last fall green looking worm ate up
most of the late cabbage in Central Ohio.
1t was rare thing that a patch escaped.
Visiting friend, [ noticed they had the
finest kind Of cabbage heads. Upon being
asked how it came that they had such nice
cabbages, while other folks were all de-
stroyed by the worms, the lady replied that
she noticed the worms were eating theirs,
and took common table salt and sprinkled
hem quite freely; that it seemed to rust
or burn the plants a little at first, but the
worm quit at once, the cabbage soon re-
covered, and made the best crop they had
had for ten years.

Silence.

All silent things, not born of pain,
Have in their silence language sweet,
And seek for syllables in vain
Their speech without them is complete.
From heart to heart its meaning flows,
Itself it's own interpreter;
And clearer knowledge with it goes
Than syllables could e'er confer.
And We are silent. speaking still
In language plain to understand
In common tones that newly thrill
In pressure of a willing hand.
Ah, me to speak is easier
Than bide by right divine command
And make no sign, when ashes stir
To flame, by loves soft breezes famed
