 Little Paitie was eight years old. She lived in the Sunny South." Her father was planter, as gll great farmers are called South. He lived in village where thore were great many good and Lind people.
 A poor lnan who lived near Patty lost his ''.fc on Inc railroad. He had three little children. Patty used to play with Mary, the oldest child AIary's mamma was not strong, and could not earn noney enough 10 feed and clothe her little ones.
 One day Patty found her little friend, Mary, crying. Mary was hungry. She had had no breakfast or dinner. Her mother was sick abed. Patty cried, too. when Mary told her what the matter was.
 But she did something more than cry. She went home and told her mother about it. Then she carried ever so much food to the poor woman and her hungry children.
 Patty wanted to do still more. She called together five of her little friends 10 help her. II was in the early spring, and the woods were full of honeysuckle all in blossom.
 Patty's two big brothers helped her. Before night they had covered the in- side of an old shop, near the house. with honeysuckle vines and blossoms. They borrowed pictures and other pretty things to put in the shop.
 But the honeysuckle was the prettiesi thing there, except Patty: and they call ed the shop "Honevsuckle Hall" Then the little ones asked the good people to come and see it. They charged five cents to go in; and before night nearly all the people in the village had been into Honevsuckle Hall.
 One of the big brothers stood at the door and took the money. The six girls ''did the honors" inside the nall. Most of the people who went in wanted to give more than five cents. Many ol them put dollar into Patty's little hand At night they had taken over fifty dol. lars. Every cent of it was given to Mary's poor mother.
 Patty was happy all day long. Her great black eyes seem to speak her plea- sure. Her face was all a smile. As she stood by window, with honeysuckle in her hands aRd all around her, Mir. Moser made picture ofher.
 Do you want to know why she looked so happy? It is because she was doing good deed. The poor woman and her three httle ones were hungry no more.

pr. John Bulls Smiths Tonic Syrup {!
 FOR THE CURE OF Fever & Ague CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for 1t superiority over all reme- dies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing He refers 10 the entire West ern and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will 1t fail 10 cure If the directions strictly followed and carried out. In great many cases single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by single bottle, with perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure if it's use is con tnued in smaller doses for week or two after thc disease has been checked, more especially in d'mcult and long-standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to eep the bowels in good order. Should the patient how ever, require a eathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic a single dose Of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient
 The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must have DR. JOHN BULLS private stamp on each bottle. DR. JOHN BULL oply has the right to manufac- ture and sell the original JOHN J. sMTa's ToNIo SYRUP, Of Louisville, Ky. Examine well the label on each bottle.

Light Without Heat.

Highly interesting experiments with q
newly discovered mineral essence took
place few evenings ago at the laboratory
Of the eminent Partisan analytical chemist,
NJ Wuertz. Having filed lamp with
the liquid in question, and ignited, the wick,
NJ Kordig, the discoyerer Of the essence,
tossed the lighted lamp up against the eel
ling, besprinkling the byslanders as well
as himself with the flaming fluid, which,
however, to the astonishment of all pres
ent, proved utterly devoid of heat or burn
ing capacity. lie then soaked his pocket
handkerchief in the essence and set it on
fire: the essence burnt itself out, but the
handk erchief remained uninjured, as did
his hat after subjection to a similar trial.
Then NM Wuertz, Dumas, and Friedel
plunged their hands into pan filled with
the burning liquid, Withdrawing them with
fingers all alight, like so many thick jets
of gas. They experienced no sensation of
heat whatsoever upon the skin surface
thus apparently in a state of active COM
bustion. Other experiments followed of
an equally wonderful nature, conclusively
demonstrating that the "Kordig essence
is capable of producing light without heat.

Ghq &armer,
Is HOrse-Shoeing Useless ?

A recent issue of Ftaser's Magazine
contains an article by Sir George W. Cox,
in which he estimates that the English
custom of horse-shoeing costs the nation
annually as much as $40, ,OOO,O 900, which
might be saved if the horses were allowed
to go unshod. He quotes authorities from
Aenophon, who marched his horses un-
shod from Cunaxa over the Armenian
Highlands to the walls of Trebizond, down
to the "free lancers" of the present day,
and contends that it is safer, cheaper and
better to let horses 90 unshod over the
hardest roads, and especially in the slip
perry streets of London. He estimates
that over twelve million dollars would be
saved in farriers' bills alone; and he cal
eulates further that the working life of a
horse would be trebled by the change, so
that horse which is now worn out at
twelve years would live to thirty-six.
The figures seem somewhat startling
and have hardly been sufficiently proved
to be trustworthy. Meanwhile, it is said
that medical man in Waterbury, Conn,
has not put shoes on his horses for two
years, driving them winter, summer, spring
and autumn, with bare feet without any
trouble. The doctors theory is that ma
ture has provided for the horse; that
horse can travel over all kinds of roads;
that the hoof will be moist and that the
frog coming to the ground keeps the hoof
properly spread, and free from founder and
other diseases.

Buckles.

About the end of the seventeenth ceu-
tury the wearing Of buckles for the shoes
was introduced generally throughout Eng
land among the Young men Of fashion, and
their manufacture became for many years
afterward a pretty lucrative business in the
Midland district Their use met at first
with no small amount of opposition from
the more ..modest" of the people, as will
be seen from the following inveetive cop
led from a newspaper printed in 1893
Certain foolish young men have lately
brought about new change in fashion.
They have begun to fasten their shoes and
knee bands with buckles instead Of rib
bons, wherewith their forcfathers were
content, and, moreover found them more
easy and convenient; and surely every man
will own they were more decent and mod
est than those new-fangled unseemly clasps
or buckles, as they call them, which will
call and vex the bones of those vain cox
combs beyond sufierance, and will make
them repent of their pride and folly, We
hope all grave aud honorable people will
withhold their ceuntenance from such i'm
modest ornaments 1t belongeth to the
reverend clergy to tell these thoughtless
youths in solemn manner that such things
are forbidden in the scripture
Buckles for the shoes were at first small,
but gradually became larger, and toward
the end of the following century they made
way for shoe strings.
.sWhy large buckles, why the small
/ Why no buckles now at all !?
Of the matter right 1 take
/ A la mode-for fashion S sake.
/ In 1871, several buckle-makers from
/ Wolverhampton, Walsall, and Birming
ham, waited upon the then Prince Of
Wales, at Carlton House, and were intro
duced into an audience by Mr., Sheridan
Their purpose was to present a petition
setting forth the distressed position Of
thousands in the different branches of the
buckle manufacture from the fashion which
had become SO prevalent of wearing shoe
| strings instead of buckles. His Roya
Highness received the deputation very
gracefully, and, after expressing his sym
pathy for the distressed buckle manufac
turers, promised to do what he could by
his own example to revive their trade
The prince, accordingly, not only resumed
the wearing of buckles himself, but com
manded that the fashion of tying the shoe;
should not be adopted by any person il
his household. In this instance, however
fashion refused to be controlled, even by
the example of royalty; for, notwithstand
ing all the well-meant endeavors of hi;
Royal Highness, buckles were never able
to recover the very prominent place they
once held among the ornaments of a com
pletc gentleman.

The Original Yankee Doodle" "

1t is probable, say the curious in such
matters, that we owe the well-kuown carl
cature of Yankee Doodle which looks
like nothing that we Americans have ever
seen, but which passes for our national
prototype all over Europe, and sometimes
does duty on our own stage, aud on the
cover Of an illustrated paper, and in carl
cature as the typical Iankee-to the sin
gular appearance of General Jackson. He
was tall, thin and angular, and at the
Hermitage, and when off duty delighted
to wear the great white hat, the short-tail
dress coat, the striped jean trousers, held
down by two long straps-all of which cos
tune was probably made by Mrs. jackson,
and which passed from him into history.
Undoubtedly these sketches came from
some clever Frenchman, made at New Or
leans, when in 1915 the couquering hero
was entertained in the city which he had
saved The upper part Of the exchange
was arranged for dancing, says an eye
witness, .and the under part for supper,
with flowers, colored lamps aud transpa-
rencies for inscriptions. Before supper
Jackson desired to look at the arrange
ments. .unaccompanicd One of the trans
parencies between the arcEes bore the in-
scrip,ion. jackson and victory-they are
but cue" The general looked at me, in
a hail-fellow sort of way, saying "Why
did you not write Hickory aud victory
they are but one p After supper We
were treated to most delicious pas de
deux by the conqueror aud bis spouse.
To see these two fgures-the general, a
long, lean, hagsard man, with arms like a
skeleton. and Nine. le General, short,
fat t,dumpling-bobbiug opposite each other
to the melody of "Possum up Gum

more edifyiug a spectacle than any Euro

Jaeksous arrival 10 New Orleans, then
the most elegant city in the Union, was a
curious episode for the French and Creole
Indies to observe. She had never visited
a city larger than Nashville before. She
confessed to Ms Livingston that she
knew nothing about huc company or fine
clothes. and she had no resource but to
throw herself upon the guidance Of her
friends. Mrs. Livingston undertook to
provide her with clothes and dresses suited
to her appearance in public, The anti.
Jackson party published earicature at
the time, at which the short aud stout
Mrs Jackson was represented as standing
on a table while Mrs Livingston was EN-.
ploycd in lacing her in, to make waist
where 4 waist had been, or should be, but

How a Famous Cheese is Made.


Perhaps the most justly celebrated
cheese made on the continent of Europe
is the Swiss Gruyere. This is made
mostly in huts, called chalets, high up
among the Alps, a. the time during which
the pastures on the mountain side are ac-
ceSsible. and the huts habiiable, say from
the melting Of the snow in May to the end
Of September, when men aud animals de
seeud for the winter into the sheltered val
leys thousands Of feet below The chalets
are located in the midst Of the mountain
pastures on spot safe from avalanehes,
aud generally near to small pond or
spring cf water, when such are available.
Provisions from the valleys are carried up
weekly to the ehalets, and it is under such
difficult and romantic circumstances that
a cheese IS made which for hundreds Of
years has been considered almost, if not
quite, the bes, o. the Continent.
The milk, partly skinned or not, ac-
cordimg to the quality of cheese desired to
be made, is put into 4 great kettle and
swung on a crane over gentle fire, where
il is allowed to attain temperature Of a
degrees Fahrenheit, when the kettle is
swung off the FIRE and rennet is added to
the milk. When coagulation has advau-
ced far enough the curd is cut into as fine
pieces as is practicable with the large
wooden knife used for that purpose. The
kettle is then swung over the fire again,
aud the curd is taken up in small quaint
ties in a porringer, aud poured back
through the fingers, whereby it is still
more finely divided. Great importance is
attached to this division of the curd, in
order that each particle may be fully ex-
posed to the action of the heat in the
Cooking" process, which ensues up to a
point when temperature of 80 degrees
1 has been attained The kettle is then i'm
mediately swung on the IRE, ana the waste
of curd and whey stirred for some fifteen
minutes longer; and if the cooking has
been properly performed, the PARTICLES Of
curd have the appearance of bursted grain:
of rice swimming in the whey. The curd
is then collected in a CLOTH and great care
is taken to expel all the whey The salt.
ing of the cheese is also considered del
icate and important process. The salt is
rubbed from time to time on the outside
of the cheese, care being taken to discern
when enough shall have been absorbed
The Gruyere ehecses are commonly three
feet in diameter, and weigh over one hun
dred pounds. \ successful cheese of thi.
kind is like a soft yellow paste, which
melts in the mouth, and it is filed with
cavities about the size of pea, one or two
say, in each square inch of cheese.-Da6y

The week is past, the sabbath dawn comes on,
Rest-rest in peace-thy toll is done:
And. standing as thou standest on the brink
ofa new scent of being calmly think
OF what is gone, is now, and soon shall he,
As one that trembles in eternity.
For such as this now closing week is past,
So much advancing time will close my las.
Such as tomorrow shall the awful light
of the eternal morn hail my sight
Spirit of good on this weeks verge stand.
Tracing the guiding influence of thy hand;
That hand which leads me gently, calmly still,
Up life's dark, stony tiresome, thorny hill,
Thou. thou, in every storm hast sheltered me.
Beneath the wing of thy benignity;
A thousand graves my footsteps circuit vent,
And exist-thy mercy's monument
A thousand writhe upon the bed of pain,
live, and pleasure flows through every vein;
Want DER a thousand wretches waves her hand
Iencircled by ten thousand mercies stand.
How can praise thee, Father how express
Nv debt of reverence and thankfulneSss
A debt that no intelligence can count,
While every moment swells the vast amount
For weeks duties thou hast given me strength,
And brought me to its peaceful close at length,
And here nv grateful bosom vain would raise
A fresh memorial to thy glorious praise.

other hole, and set the drill to sow three
pecks of wheat to the acre. l now drill
in the beans like drilling wheat 1t will

the acre. Now the work is done till har-

Poor land is the best for beans. Rich
land causes them to grow too much to

ORIGIN OF FULTz WHEAT.-Fultz
wheat originated in Miffiin county, Pa,
about twenty years ago, and takes its name
from Abram Fultz, its discoverer, who
says, in a letter upon the subject, that he
found it in Christian Yoder's wheat field,
where he was harvesting. In low place
where the wheat was lodged, three stalks
were standing upright, They attracted
his attention, aud be cut off the three heads
with his pocket knife and stuck them in
his hat He showed the heads to Mr.
Yoder, and asked to have them, which
was granted, He took them home and
carefully planted the wheat five years in
succession, when the yield was sufficient
to dispose of it for seed among his neigh
bors. Mr. Yoder did not try it until after
several of his neiShbors had grown it sue
eessfully.
