The Banjo Becoming Fashionable.

There is good reason for believing that
the heretofore despised banjo is to DO
elevated TO the first rank as a musical in
strument Some one has discovered
that it is of very ancient origin, and OF
course that is very much in its favor, rs
many persons delight in anything that
is associated with antiquity. A relic
hunter in Egypt found. or says that he
found, in the tomb of q royal family, in
one OF the oldest pyramids, banjo of
the exact form Of those played by
plantation darkes. In his opinion the
ancient Pharaohs delighted in the sweet
sounds produced by the banjo, which
constituted the favorite music of the
country which has been called the
cradle of civilization. 1t is easy to ac-
count for the introduction of the banjo
into this country. 1t was brought by
the negroes from Egypt by the way of
Ethiopia. Many people will now adj
mire the banjo who despised it when it
was thought to be the invention of some
negro barbarian. Indeed, it is stated
that many aristocratic people, as well
as many accomplished musicians, have
long been pleased with the banjo, and
that the latter have played it ''on the
sly" Lord Dunraven, of England, is
said to be an accomplished ban o-play-
en-. Thalberg, the great pianist; Miss
Nilsson and Clara Louise Kellogg, the
opera siugers, are also enthusiastic
lovers OF the ancient Egyptian instru-
ment. A London musical instrument
maker states that he cannot supply the
demand for the fashionable rival of the
piano. Chicago Times.

Make the Best of 1t.

We took occasion the other morning
to criticise some. of the obnoxious fea-
lures of the lately passed liquor law.
WeshOuld be glad to see these features
amended by the Legislature at its pres
ent session, but whether they shall be
or not the law in its main provisions
can certainly be made effective in sup
pressing the traffic in Intoxicating liq-
uors as a beverage, which is the great
thing aimed at in the amendment.
Even though in reaching this end some
unnecessary and veXatious provisions
have been put in the law, vet the good
people of the State who desire to see
the saloons abolished will endure the
inconvenience for the sake of the great
er'good to be achieved. The Supreme
Court having decided the amendment
to be legally adopted, aid that the
State has the power to prohibit the sale
of intOXicants as a beverage, it behoOves
all good citizens to fall in with the
policy of the amendment and trust to
future Legislation to remove any OBJ
nOxious features which may have been
fastened upon the present law. 1t is
quite probable that the Supreme Court
would not sustain the Interpretation
which is naturally put upon the some
what stringent language of the law re-
specting the medical use of intoxicants,
or the intoxicating character of tine
lures, essences, ETC., as well as the Civ
ing away of intoxicants where no eva
sion of the law as to selling is intended.
The term "actual sickness" would prob
ably be given a very wide latitude by
the courts in all cases of the bona tide
prescriptions of liquor of a medicine.
The object of the amendment and the
object of the law is to get rid of the
and sale of intOxicants as
q beverage. The law must be inter-
preted in view of this, and while we re-
greet that the language used in the
statute is in some cases open to a prinaa
tocie Interpretation which wCu'd make
it oppressive and vexatious, yet we
must take it as the best at present
and trust to the courts to
give it an Interpretation consistent
with the great object of the law, viz.
the prohibition of the sale of ntoxi-
cants asa. beverage.-LaWrence Jour-
nal.

More and Better Poultry Needed


The simple fact that in nearly every
town in Kansas for months eggs have
been from twenty-five to forty and
sometimes fifty cents per dozen, and
often none to be had at any price. and
further that those who eat chickens,
turkeys and ducks have to pay from 12l
to 18Cents per pound for them dressed is
evidence that the supply is not what
it should be. There is no excuse for
this as fowls in large numbers can be
kept on all farms without appreciate
expense. Nothing kept on the farm
will pay 50 large margin on the care
and capital invested as poultry. No
great outlay is needed to Obtaina good
stock and we believe mixture Of some
of the well known but quite common
breeds, such as can be found in every
neighborhOod, will produce more eggs
the year round, if decently cared for,
than would flock of high-priced fam
cy fouls such as we have all admired
and coveted at the fairs. We are not
decrying the highly bred fouls at all
but know from long. experience and
observation that some of the more
comon kinds will yield enormous guam
titles of the highly priced hen fruit,
and that the consumer usually asks no
questions as to its pedigree. :.
We say, procure more fowls; get the
best you can take better care of them
than you have heretofore; persuade
them to do better by you by doing bet
ter by them and they will put money
in your purse. You have abundant
facilities if you will utilize them to do
these things; your big fields offer the
choicest of range for the ranging tur-
key; ducks will almost board them
selves and give you feathers, eggs and
meat for the privileges; the hen-well

The present winter, unless we are
greatly mistaken, will forcibly teach
our farmers the Importance Of early
sowing wheat. During the thaw of a

wheat badly injured, and in many
instances totally destroyed. Whole

Notes and Experiences.
WoLF's SUMMIT, w. VA.


Ed. FREEMAN: During the month
of September we were rowing. mere
and there through the counties OF
Tyler, Ritchie, Doddridge: Marion
and Harrison. We did not forget
to recommend the FREEMAN to
thinking people as opportunities
offered themselves.
1t is very gratifying to know the
cause Of Temperance and rlght IS
taking fast hold upon the hearts
and minds of the best people with
whom we have associated.
We had not more than reached
our home until q message came,
calling US East to see a sick sister.
This afternoon, Oct. 10Th, | am
waiting in Clarksburg for a fast
train to bear me towards the home
of the sick, but oh ere nightfall, a
call invites us to stand by the dead,
in the East Cemetery. The saddest
of all, he lived and died a drunkard.
In the early years of manhood the
demon drink pulled down to an un-
timely grave, sad wreck to look
upon, a sad example for others to
profit by.
Here in this beautiful mountain
town, the licensed-traffic is sending
souls to eternity, and otherwise
vigorous bodies to the grave. OH!
when will justice rise up and throw
q shield about the young and ten
der?
The rain is beating down and
the night is deepening and darken-
ing, so emblematic of the deeper
darkness that gathers around the
human soul, when God and virtue
are driven out.
The train comes laundering up
to the station with its long line Of
beautifully painted coaches: We
enter, take a seat, and ere midnight
are plunging through the Cheat
and Allegheny mountains, hem
med in on all sides by the dark
somber shades of hemlock and other
evergreen trees. What scene for
the painters brush. The cars are
full of passengers bound for the
York town Centennial. At Pied
mont man reels in and fain would
share our seat, but the sickening
fumes of whisky drive us away to
leave him alone in his deluded
glory. w. ID. BARGER.
