Etiquette of Calls.

II the mistress of the house is at
home a caller must not give his
card to a servant. Such a proceed
ing would be contrary to present
usage, and, in the event of caller
making such mistake, a well-bred
domestic would suppress the card,
and simply announce the name on
entering the drawing-room. If the
call is of purely business charac-
ter, and the visitor unacquainted
with the lady of the house, it is still
proper to send in n card with the
inquiry whether the lady is engaged.
Or in the case of lady making a
personal call upon another lady, a

Drinkinr too Much water.

ed for drink so that water, even,
when taken in fage quantities does
not seem to have the desired effect
of quenching thirst. People who
work very hard in warm weather
must needs drink considerably to
keep up the necessary free perspir-

is exercised there is danger of
drinking cold water in excess
There are drinks which are superb

Onade is the favorite with many,
and is both refreshing and health

good beverage for farmers, and for
those who like it, is a healthful and

What the Late UnpIeasantness
Cost.

In the mere matter of treasure
the war of the rebellion was costly
enterprise to the North, while in all
material resources it was well nigh
destruction to the southern section.
In response 10 the request of the
Senate the Secretary OF War has
been figuring out the grand cost,
which is so enormous that mere fig
urcs do not furnish an adequate
idea of its immensely to the mind
The grand total was $6,796.792, 500,

meaningless. Taken in detail, the
statement becomes more intelligi-

Live Stock.

Too many farmers on fair sized
farms do not pay enough attention
to stock. Too many farmers con
tInue TO grow cotton for sale, year
after year, without returning any
thing to the soil in the form OF
plant food except cotton seed and
purchased fertilizers. They simply
keep stock enough to do the work
With good care any ordinary farm
er can raise stock at a fair profit.
All animals should be well cared
for and kept in thriving condition
until they are ready for market.
There is great loss in getting the
animals fat in the fall and then
starving them through the winter,
for it will take them halt the sum
mer to gain what they have lost.
There is every reason to believe
that the use of less corn and larg-
er use of grass in swinefeeding will
greatly lessen the chances of the
tendency to disease among swine.
1t is an opinion held by the best
autho rites, and verified by the eX-
perience of the most successful hog
raisers. In the north and the eX-
treme northern portion of the cot
tor belt the plants especially desir
able for hog pasture are timothy,
red clover, orchard grass and blue
grass. In the extreme south the
common crab grass of the small
grain fields has been the main rell
.ance of the farmer for pasturage for
all stock. Bermuda grass, however,
is better adapted to the south than
any of the grasses of more northern
attitudes. Common Georgia Col
lards, are considered by some far
mers, specific against cholera, or
any swine disease. Hogs are also
fond of cat-taIl millet.

Our Young People
JADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
The Greedy Little Mouse.

| = u6 GISSNy 44bt4S 14S0SVs
Tottie and Lille were twins, with
the same wide-open blue eyes, the
same rosy dimples, and bright vel
low hair. One day, when they
were seated at the little table in the
nursery eating their dinneI-for
they were too Young yet tic dine
with mamma-Tottie thought she
saw a little black bead shining i'll a
hole by the closet door. No, it
could not be a bead, for it popped
in and out. Presently out came a
little pointed nose, with long stiff
whiskers, two little round ears, and
two bright black-not bead eyes.
The children sat very still, and
thought they had never seen any
thing quite SO pretty as the little
plump body and tong graceful tail
whisking rapidly and noiselessly,
while the little creature peered
ca -tiously about. Lille threw
gently a little piece OF bread, but
terrified little mousie thought it was
surely intended to kill her, and
flew back to her stronghold in the
closet. Tottie now put a little
piece OF bread quite close to the
hole, and they sat motiOnless for it
TO re-appear They had not long to
wait; the bread was too sweet
morsel for a mouse 10 resist, and
they soon had the great pleasure of
seeing her first nimble a little, and
finally drag it into the hole. Lii
lie SAID, "Oh, don't you know, Tot
tie, mousie is the mother, and she
has a lot of little children in her
house, and that is going to be their
dinner; let's give her some every
day." And so they did, until
mousie grew so tame and so wise
she seemed to know the dinner
hour as well as they, and would
come nearer and nearer, and run in
and out under the table picking up
the crumbs; but she was ever lit
tie distrusJful
If any one made an effort to
catch her, or made any noise off
she flew to her hole, and would
wait, and peep out for some time,
before she became re assured.
But when every one was fast asleep
in bed, then she became more
brave; but with all her fine feeding
Mrs. Mouse could not overcome
her nature, and, / grieve to add, she
was thief. She would rummage
in pockets for cakes and goodies,
and climb to the highest shelf if
she smelt any dainty, and so, alas!
fell victim to her greedy propen
stiles.
Nurse had put a bowl of liquid
starch on the shelf in the closet,
and mousie thinking she had fine
treat, scaled the side, and reaching
over the dainty, lost her balance,
and tumbled in. The fluid was too
heavy, and the sides too steep and
slippery for her to escape; so, after
vain endeavors, she sank exhaus-
ted to the bottom.
The next day, and the next |
passed, and no mouse came at the !
usual hour. Tottie said she knew
the old black cat had caught her
Lille said she knew the children |
were sick. SO she threw little
bits down the hole for her But
when nurse went for her forgotten
starch, the truth was revealed.
Poor mousie was dead. Many
,ears fell; and although the chill
lren had many toys, nothing was
equal to that sly, active, bright
eyed, live little play fellow.

How He'd Do It.

Several men were gathered at the
door of a blacksmith shop when a
school boy, not over nine years OF

"N-no, but I've got a hard 'rith-

"Let me see; used to be king

then place the wheel on the axle
and revolve it few times; take of

axle clean. A stick and a rag wet
with turpentine can be used to
clean up the hub. Don't let the oil
